Over here, Billina.

That's it.

What's that?

The head of a Gump.

Here's a broom, Tik-Tok.

It'll make a great tail.

Excellent. Now we must Gump the head

in the front

and tie Jack's feet together.

Right. Tie my feet together.

Bring that mantelpiece to the desk,

and anoint the palms!

Right. Anoint the palm!

That is right, Jack. Left, right, wrong.

What are you talking about?

Little girls, pumpkinheads

make chicken fly the coop.

Coop?

Dorothy Gale!

Dorothy Gale!

Dorothy Gale!

Where's my powder of life?

- Mombi's awake!

- Oh, no!

- It's not finished!

- Tik-Tok went berserk!

- Tickle, tickle me!

- His brain's ran down.

If his brain's ran down,

how could he talk?

It happens to people all the time, Jack.

Tie the palm leaves to the sofa, quick!

Billina, help him!

- We need another cord!

- Well, hurry!

Thank goodness, Dorothy.

I am all right now.

Go to the door and look out for Mombi.

All right, Dorothy.

Make sure you do the head,

so it can see where it's going.

- It's not working!

- There must've been some magic words.

- What were they? Think!

- Think?

You've got to remember!

I wasn't alive then.

How can I remember?

Read the directions, Dorothy!

- I don't know these words!

- Read them anyway.

"Weaugh, teaugh,

"peaugh."

- Peaugh?

- That's it!

Hurry!

I'll stop you!

She is coming!

Jack, go help Tik-Tok get aboard.

Billina, get in!

- Wait for me!

- A chicken?

- Can you flap your wings?

- I don't have any wings.

- Now you do!

- I guess you're right, I do!

- Jump up, Tik-Tok!

- Help me up, Dorothy!

- Easy, is it?

- Dorothy Gale!

So!

- Fly, fly!

- Wait for me.

Jack! Jack!

Stop!

Fly! Fly!

We did it!

- Help me!

- Hold on, Jack!

Here, Jack, give me your hand.

Tik-Tok, will you help me pull?

Wake up! Wake up, all of you! Get up!

Get up! Wake up! Look!

Dorothy Gale is escaping!

Go and get them back for me! Hurry up!

All of you! Go on!

And make sure

you bring back that chicken!

Don't come back without them!

The last thing I remember

is walking through the forest

and hearing a loud noise.

And now, here I am,

flying through the air.

What am I anyway?

You're just a thing

with a Gump's head on it.

We built you and brought you to life

so that you could take us to

the Nome King to rescue the Scarecrow.

I may not last very long.

I don't feel too well put together.

Oh, don't say that.

How do we know where to land?

It's awful dark down there.

The Nome King's mountain

was straight ahead.

I think.

The best thing to do is

to keep flying until dawn.

Then maybe we can find

a safe place to land.

Good idea, Tik-Tok.

Mr. Gump? Can you just

keep flying straight ahead?

I don't think
