Quotes 

• The Wicked Witch of the West : You stay out of this, Glinda! Or I'll fix you as well!

  Glinda : Oh-ho-ho-ho, rubbish! You have no power here! Now begone, before somebody drops a house on YOU.

  [Wicked Witch glances nervously at the sky] 

• Glinda : Only bad witches are ugly.

• Glinda : Are you a good witch, or a bad witch?

  Dorothy : Who me? I'm not a witch at all. I'm Dorothy Gale, from Kansas.

  Glinda : Oh. Well, is that the witch?

  [pointing to Toto] 

  Dorothy : Who, Toto? Toto's my dog!

  Glinda : [laughs]  Well, I'm a little muddled! The Munchkins called me because a new witch has just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch of the East. And there's the house, and here you are, and that's all that's left of the Wicked Witch of the East.

  [she points to a pair of legs sticking out from under the house; Dorothy gasps] 

  Glinda : So, what the Munchkins want to know is, are you a good witch, or a bad witch?

  Dorothy : But, I've already told you, I'm not a witch at all! Witches are old, and ugly!

  [they hear giggles] 

  Dorothy : What was that?

  Glinda : The Munchkins. They're laughing because, I *am* a Witch. I'm Glinda, the Witch of the North.

  Dorothy : You are?

  [she curtsies] 

  Dorothy : Oh, I beg your pardon! But, I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.

• Glinda : Now those magic slippers will take you home in two seconds.

  Dorothy : Toto too?

  Glinda : Toto too.

• Glinda : Pooh, what a smell of sulfur.

• Dorothy : Oh will you help me? Can you help me?

  Glinda : You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.

  Dorothy : I have?

  The Scarecrow : Then why didn't you tell her before?

  Glinda : Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself.

  The Tin Man : What have you learned, Dorothy?

  Dorothy : Well, I, I think that it, that it wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em. And it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard. Because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?

  Glinda : That's all it is.

• Glinda : Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, 'There's no place like home'.
