DOROTHY:

Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto?

There must be. It's not a place you can

get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far

away -- behind the moon -- beyond the rain --

DOROTHY:

(sings)

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,

There's a land that I heard of once in a

lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,

And the dreams that you dare to dream really

do....

CS -- Toto by wheel of rake -- listening to song --

DOROTHY o.s.

(sings)

...come true....

MCS -- Dorothy singing -- swings on wheel of rake -- then walks forward

around wheel -- Toto jumps up onto seat of rake -- Dorothy pets him --

sits on front of rake -- CAMERA PULLS back -- Dorothy finishes song --

DOROTHY:

(sings)

...Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind

me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops,

Away above the chimney tops,

That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.

Birds fly over the rainbow,

Why then -- oh, why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly

Beyond the rainbow

Why, oh, why can't I?

LS -- Miss Gulch rides along country road on bicycle -- CAMERA PANS to

right with her --

LS -- Miss Gulch rides forward to front of Gale's home -- stops and gets

off her bicycle as Uncle Henry comes forward --

Mr. Gale!

UNCLE HENRY:

Howdy, Miss Gulch.

MISS GULCH:

I want to see you and your wife right

away....

MCS -- Uncle Henry and Miss Gulch at gate -- they speak -- Uncle Henry

lets go of the gate -- it hits Miss Gulch -- she reacts -- exits left --

Uncle Henry puts paint brush down -- starts out left --

MISS GULCH:

... about Dorothy.

UNCLE HENRY:

Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?

MISS GULCH:

What's she done? I'm all but lame from the

bite on my leg!

UNCLE HENRY:

You mean she bit you?

MISS GULCH:

No, her dog!

UNCLE HENRY:

Oh, she bit her dog, eh?

MISS GULCH:

NO!

LAP DISSOLVE TO:

PANS to right with Dorothy to Uncle Henry -- then Pans her left to Aunt Em

and Miss Gulch -- Miss Gulch shows order to Aunt Em -- Uncle Henry enters

-- looks at the order -- Miss Gulch picks up basket -- rises -- Dorothy

screams at Miss Gulch -- Miss Gulch tries to take Toto away from Dorothy --

Uncle Henry takes Toto -- puts him into basket --

MISS GULCH:

That dog's a menace to the community. I'm

taking him to the sheriff and make sure he's

destroyed.

DOROTHY:

Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can't! You

mustn't! Auntie Em! Uncle Henry! You won't

let her, will you?
