<<-- Back to [[Wizard of Oz]]

Using this [http://www.scifiscripts.com/scripts/wizoz.txt script].  I'll be listing below all the differences between this script and the broadcast movie.

=Part 1=
At time 3:06 this exchange is cut:

				UNCLE HENRY
		Poor little orphan, and her Miss Gulch
		troubles. Gosh all hemlock - you know, she
		ought to have somebody to play with.

				AUNT EM
		I know, but we all got to work out our own
		problems, Henry.

				UNCLE HENRY
		Yes.

				AUNT EM
		Oh, I hope we got them in time.

				UNCLE HENRY
		Yes.
-----
At time 3:14 this exchange is cut:

				HICKORY
		Come on - come on - over this way.

				ZEKE
		Okay.
-----
At time 3:47 this exchange is cut:

MLS - Int. Barn - Hickory working on wind machine - straightens up -
reacts - Dorothy comes forward - CAMERA TRUCKS forward as Hickory goes to
her - he speaks to her - turns motor of wind machine on - they watch it -
oil spurts out into Hickory's face - he reacts - Dorothy exit left -

				HICKORY
		Oh! Oh, it feels like my joints are rusted.
		Listen, Dorothy, don't let Hunk kid you
		about Miss Gulch. She's just a poor
		sour-faced old maid that -- she ain't got
		no heart left. You know, you should have a
		little more heart yourself, and have pity
		on her.

				DOROTHY
		Well, gee, I try and have a heart.

				HICKORY
		Now look, here's something that really has
		a heart. This is the best invention I ever
		invented.

				DOROTHY
		This?

				HICKORY
		Sure. It's to break up winds, so we don't
		have no more dust storms. Can you imagine
		what it'll mean to this section of the
		country? I'll show you. It works perfectly
		now. Here's the principle. You see that fan
		-- that sends up air currents into the sky.
		These air currents -- Oh, stop it!

				DOROTHY
		Oh!

				HICKORY
		Who did it? Now wait a minute.

				DOROTHY
		Hickory!

				HICKORY
		Now what happened? I'll bet Hunk did that.

=Part 2=
At time 1:56 the below exchange has been cut:

				PROFESSOR
		Yes --

				DOROTHY
		Please, Professor, why can't we go along
		with you?

				PROFESSOR o.s.
		Well, we -- uh --
-----
At time 2:06 the below exchange has been cut:
				PROFESSOR
		Oh, yes - you - you wanted to go home, huh?

				DOROTHY
		Oh, no, I wanted to go along with you.

				PROFESSOR
		Oh --

				DOROTHY
		Nobody cares about me at home. They wouldn't
		even miss me.

				PROFESSOR
		Aw, come, come, come --

				DOROTHY
		No, they won't - honestly.

				PROFESSOR
		Oh --

				DOROTHY
		Auntie Em was even going to let them kill
		Toto yesterday for biting Miss Gulch. Oh,
		please, Professor, why can't we go with you
		and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?

'''Instead''' the scene picks up with just the '''last part''' of Dorothy's last speech:

DOROTHY Oh please Professor, why can't we go with you and see all the Crowned Heads of Europe?
-----
At time 3:21 the below sentence has been cut

				PROFESSOR
		No - it's - it's - a crowing rooster.
-----
At time 4:07 the below exchange has been cut:

		PROFESSOR
		Well, she's - she's going into a little bed....

CU - Dorothy - Camera shooting past Professor -

				PROFESSOR
		...room --

				DOROTHY
		Has it poppies on the wall....

MCU - Professor - Camera shooting past Dorothy

				DOROTHY
		...paper?

				PROFESSOR
		I said it had poppies on the wall paper! Eh
		-- she's -- What's this?

'''Instead''' picking up at:
PROFESSOR Why, she's --
		she's putting her hand on her heart -- she's
		-- she's dropping down on the.... bed
-----
At time 4:30 only the beginning and ending of Dorothy's speech is included.  Originally she was supposed to say:

				DOROTHY
		...away! Come on, Toto! Oh, what'll I do?
		If we go home, they'll send you to the
		Sheriff. And if we don't, Aunt Em may --
		well, she may die! I know what I'll do -
		I'll give you to Hunk. He'll watch out for
		you. But we've got to hurry. Goodbye,
		Professor Marvel -- and thanks a lot!

'''Instead''' now she just says

DOROTHY ...away! Come on, Toto! Goodbye, Professor Marvel -- and thanks a lot!
-----
At time 5:05 the below exchange has been cut:

				HICKORY o.s.
		Right here.

				UNCLE HENRY
		Hey, what are you doing there?

				HICKORY
		This is my chance! The cyclone is coming.
		Let me show you what my machine can do!
		You see, it goes --

				UNCLE HENRY
		Doggone you! Help Hunk get them horses
		loose!

				HICKORY
		All right - you'll be sorry.

				UNCLE HENRY
		Go on, hurry up! Hurry up, I tell you!

LS -- Zeke points up to sky -- Hunk and others drive horses out of barn --

				ZEKE
		She's here -- it's a twister!

'''Instead''' now all we have left is:

Zeke It's a twister! It's a twister!
-----
At time 5:44 this sentence has been added:

UNCLE HENRY Well [unintelligible] we can't look for her now. Come on, get in the cellar.  Hurry up.
-----
At time 6:32 the script has two "Auntie Em!"s but Dorothy actually says this three times, and also says "Uncle Henry".  Then at time 6:42 she says "Auntie Em" one more time before the window frame hits her in the head.
-----
The script directions state: "MS -- Dorothy sitting on edge of bed -- holding Toto in her arms -- the window blows loose -- hits Dorothy on the head -- she falls to floor - then gets up dazed - sits on edge of bed - Toto jumps up near her - she lies back on bed --"

But what we actually see in the broadcast is: "MS -- Dorothy standing holding Toto in her arms -- the window blows loose -- hits Dorothy on the head -- she falls onto the bed --"
-----
At time 7:14 the below sentence has been removed

				DOROTHY
		We're not on the ground, Toto!
-----
Also at this point a cow and tree float through the frame twice, but in the broadcast we only see these go through once.
-----
At time 8:39 when the house lands, the below was added

DOROTHY Oh!
