Wizard revealed/Heroic rewards from the Wizard

The scene changes back to the Wizard's throne room.

Wizard of Oz asked "Can I believe my eyes? Why have you come back?"

Dorothy Gale said as Vic shows him the broomstick "Please, sir. We've done what you've told us. We brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her." Vic placed the broomstick by the throne.

Wizard of Oz said impressed "Ah, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful."

Dorothy Gale replied "Yes, sir. So we'd like you to keep your promise to us, if you please, sir."

Wizard of Oz said arrogantly as Vic hid behind dorothy "Not so fast. Not so fast! I'll have to give the matter a little thought. Go away and come back tomorrow."

Dorothy Gale said shocked "Tomorrow? Oh, but I wanna go home now!"

Tin Man said angrily "You've had plenty of time already!"

Cowardly Lion agreed with Tin Man "Yeah!"

Wizard of Oz said furiously "Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Oz! I said come back tomorrow!" Then odie walks over to a booth. As Garfield looked in and he got out looking shocked, Garfield pointed then Vic looked in, the looked out shocked at well.

Dorothy Gale said "If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises."

Wizard of Oz said "Do you presume to criticize the great Oz?" Garfield, Vic, Odie and Toto pulls the green curtain revealing an ordinary man who is pulling levers controlling the image "You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now!" The man looked over his shoulder "Oh!" He spoke into microphone "The great Oz has spoken! Oh!" He closed the curtain and speaks into the microphone "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" Dorothy walks up and pulls the curtain "The great and... Oz has spoken!"

Dorothy Gale asked "Who are you?"

Wizard of Oz said "Oh...I..." he spoke into the microphone "I am the great and powerful..." Garfield pulled the plug to the microphone. Oz said in a normal voice "Wizard of Oz."

Dorothy Gale said "You are? I don't believe you."

Wizard of Oz said ashamed "I'm afraid it's true. There's no other Wizard except me."

Scarecrow said angrily "You humbug!"

Cowardly Lion agreed with Scarecrow "Yeah."

Wizard of Oz said "Yes, that's exactly so. I'm a humbug."

Dorothy Gale said "Oh, you're a very bad man!"
Odie nodded with a huff.

Wizard of Oz said "Oh, no, my dear. I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad wizard."

Vic asked "What about the heart that you promised Tin Man?! And the courage that you promised Cowardly Lion?!"

Garfield said "And Scarecrow's brain?!"

Wizard of Oz said "Why anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from we have universities, seats of great learning, where men can go to become great thinkers and when they come out. They think deep thoughts, and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got. A diploma. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitatus Committeeatum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D." He presents Scarecrow a diploma.

Scarecrow asked surprised "Th.D?"

Wizard of Oz said "That's Doctor of Thinkology.."

Scarecrow places his finger on his head and said "The sum of the square roots of two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to square root of the remaining side." He said happily "Oh, joy! Rapture! I've got a brain! How can I ever thank you enough?"

Wizard of Oz said "Well, you can't." He said to Lion "As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom. Back where I come from, we have men who are called heroes. Once a year, they take their fortitude out of moth balls and parade it down the main street of the city and they have no more courage than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got a medal. Therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, consipicuous bravery against Wicked Witches, I award you the Triple Cross." He presents him a medal and placed it on his fur "You are now a member of the Legion of Courage." He kissed Lion. Odie jumped into lions arm and licked him on the cheek.

Cowardly Lion said timidly "Shucks, folks, I'm speechless." He chuckled.

Wizard of Oz said to Tin Man "As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable."

Tin Man said "But I still want one."

Wizard of Oz said "Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila er- Good-deed-doers. And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven't got. A testimonial. Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection" he presents Tin Man a heart-shaped watch "And remember, my sentimental friend that a heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others."

Tin Man smiled "Ah!" He held up the watch to his ear "Oh! It ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks!" He shows the watch to Dorothy, Scarecrow, and Lion.

Cowardly Lion said showing them his medal "Read what my medal says. "Courage." Ain't it the truth? Ain't it the truth?"

Dorothy Gale said "Oh, they're all wonderful."

Scarecrow asked "Hey, what about Dorothy?"

Tin Man asked "Yes, how about Dorothy?"

Cowardly Lion said "Yeah. Dorothy next."

Wizard of Oz said "Yes. Dorothy."

Dorothy Gale said "Oh, I don't think there's anything in that black bag for me."

Wizard of Oz said "Well, you force me into a catactlysmic decision. The only way to get Dorothy back to Kansas is for me to take her there myself."

Dorothy Gale gasped happily "Oh, will you? Could you? Oh! Oh, but are you a clever enough wizard to manage it?"

Wizard of Oz said "Child, you cut me to the quick! I'm an old Kansas man myself, born and bred in the western wilderness premier balloonist par excellence to the Miracle Wonderland Carnival Company. Until one day, while performing feats of stratospheric skill never before attempted by civilized man an unfortunate phenomena occurred. The balloon failed to return to the fair."

Cowardly Lion asked "It did?"

Dorothy Gale asked "Weren't you frightened?"

Wizard of Oz said "Frightened? You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe. I was petrified. Then suddenly, the wind changed and the balloon floated down into this noble city, where I was instantly acclaimed Oz, the first wizard deluxe. Times being what they were, I accepted the job retaining my balloon against the advent of a quick getaway." He chuckled "And in that balloon, my dear Dorothy, you and I will return to the land of E Pluribus Unum."
