What are you on about, my dear?

Oh, no.

- Oh, no!

- It's just a yellow brick.

No, Billina, you don't understand.

This was the Yellow Brick Road.

It leads to the Emerald City!

Dorothy!

Wait for me!

Oh, no! What's happened?

Your Majesty,

they have discovered

the Yellow Brick Road

and are on their way

to the Emerald City.

Good. They won't get past Mombi.

Well, Billina,

that was the Emerald City.

- Not moving very fast, are they?

- They've all been turned to stone.

All this way to see a bunch of stiffs.

- What's a Wheeler?

- I don't remember them.

Look, these ones have lost their heads.

That's what I call

just plain carelessness.

Billina!

Dorothy, look out!

It's the Tin Woodsman.

Oh, Tin Woodsman, what happened to you?

What's happened to everybody?

Oh, Cowardly Lion!

Oh, Cowardly Lion,

what's happened to you?

Come here, chicken!

A Wheeler!

Billina! Billina!

Over here, Dorothy!

Quick! That way!

We've got you. You're trapped!

Chicken!

The key!

Get her!

You have to come out sooner or later.

When you do,

we'll tear you into little pieces

and throw you in the Deadly Desert!

I haven't done anything to you!

Isn't that a stolen lunch pail

in your hand?

Isn't that a chicken in there with you?

Chicken!

The Nome King doesn't allow chickens

anywhere in Oz!

- Who's the Nome King?

- "Who is the Nome King?"

"Who is the Nome King?"

Well, what are we going

to do now, Dorothy?

What is it?

I don't know.

"The Royal Army of Oz."

Army? It's just a bunch of old junk,

like the copper kettle

in the yard back home.

Look! Billina, some directions.

"For thinking,

wind number one under left arm.

"For speaking,

wind number two under right arm.

"For walking and action,

wind number three, middle of back.

"Guaranteed to work perfectly

for 1,000 years."

You don't believe that, do you?

I don't know.

I'll wind him up and we'll see.

I'll wind up his thinking first.

I wonder what he's thinkin' about.

I'll wind up his speech,

and maybe he can tell us.

Maybe he can tell us

what happened to the Emerald City.

- Good morning, little girl.

- Good morning, sir.

Are you Dorothy Gale?

- Yes, sir.

- Pleased to meet you.

I am Tik-Tok, the Royal Army of Oz.

His Majesty, the Scarecrow, locked me

in here and told me to wait for you.

What happened to the Emerald City?

Where is the Scarecrow?

I do not know. Suddenly everything

living began to turn to stone.

When you did not arrive,

I called for help until my voice ran down.

Then I paced back and forth

until my action ran down.

Then I stood and thought

until my thought ran down.

After that, I remember nothing

until you wound me up. Thank you.
