(Singing “the wonderful wasteland of Oz”)
Full of magic beyond comprehension
So beware and pay close attention
For goblins and tigers and bears
Aren’t the stars in this nightmare
See there are things here far more frightening
That can kill you quicker than lightening
Like the tin man’s ax
The Lion’s claws
Or the Scarecrow’s evil grin
This, my pretty
Is how REAL nightmares begin
Emerald: Glenn… help us
Glenn: Where are you?
Emerald: Help us… come to Oz… come to Oz
Glenn: Who are you?
Emerald: Help us Glenn…Glenn
(Song ends)
Dorothy: Glenn!!!
Glenn: Yes mom?
Dorothy: Is your room clean yet?
Glenn: Define clean.
Dorothy: Glenn!! I’ve asked you all week to clean your room. I swear if you don’t clean that room I’ll toss you right outside and I hear there’s a tornado coming.
Glenn: Huh right… then I’ll end up in the magical Land of Oz right? You’ve told me that story so often that I’m dreaming about it. At least I think I’m dreaming.
Dorothy: That’s enough of your dreaming for one day Glenn… at least take the dog out.
You can yell and cry with all of your might
But there is no help in sight
so whatever you do
Hold on to those shoes
or your life you may lose
For the wizard is loose
In the wasteland we call Oz.
Glenn: Fine. Toto, come boy, outside. Wow, there really is a tornado coming. Toto come back. Toto! Are those are mom’s red shoes in your mouth??? Give me those. The tornados… run back home Toto…RUN
INTRO:
Long ago we followed a girl named Dorothy to somewhere over the rainbow, made friends along the way, defeated a witch, and came home. But what became of Dorothy and of Oz? Dorothy married, bore a son named Glenn, and is living the happily ever after. Oz, however, is no longer a wonderful place. It is now a wasteland engulfed in hate, death, and fear; Oz is in dire need of another hero. But will one boy be enough to rid Oz of this darkness? Can he even survive One Knight in OZ By: Carla Mansfield
Glenn: Where am I? That tornado must have taken me really far. Toto! Hey boy, are you okay? I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
Molly: Kansas! Did you say Kansas?!?!
Glenn: Whoa tiny!!! Who are you?
Molly: No young man the question is “who are you?”
Glenn: That’s what I just said!
0
Molly: Never mind, you seem too much of a fool to know Dorothy
Glenn: Wait, Dorothy Gale? She’s my mom, how do you know her?
Molly: You are the son of Dorothy Gale. Then we are saved, Oz is saved.
Glenn: Oz? I must be dreaming.
Molly: How I wish I could tell you this was a dream, a horrible dream, but this is real…umm. What is your name?
Glenn: Glenn. And who are you? Oh figment of my imagination.
Molly: I’m Molly Munchkin, mayor of munchkin land. But we must leave its not safe here, quickly.
Leon: Oh yes go very quickly. I love it when I have to chase my food. Ha-ha
Molly: Oh no!
Glenn: Who are you?
Molly: Glenn no!
Leon: Be a good little boy and listen to the appetizer.
Glenn: I’m serious I know karate.
Leon: The ruby slippers!!! How… Who… Where did you get those?
Glenn: My sneakers! They look just like mom’s shoes.
Leon: MOM?! You mean I almost ate Dorothy’s son? Oh my, oh my.
Glenn: Hey, It’s okay. I’m not hurt and I don’t need to change my pants so no harm done.
Molly: You just stopped the most dangerous killer in Oz, it’s the shoes, Oz will be saved. Let’s go, you must meet someone now.
Glenn: But what about him?
Molly: He’ll be fine. He won’t have the courage to follow us now. Let’s go!
Glenn: Slow down Molly. Where are we going?
Molly: You are going to meet the one who sent for you. Emerald come out, it’s all right.
Emerald: Hello Glenn, I knew you’d come.
Glenn: You’re the one from my dreams but how?
Molly: Please sit down Glenn; it’s a hard tale to tell but it must be told. Emerald, show him.
Emerald: As you wish molly.
Glenn: Look, you’re cute and all but you’re too close. Back away from me, don’t touch me, don’t touch me…
Wizard: Don’t touch me! Stay back witch or I’ll.
Ruby: Or you’ll what??? The great and powerful Oz will smite me? You are a lie, nothing more than a mere man. This is almost too easy.
Glenn: What the…
Emerald: The witch was far more cunning than anyone could have imagined. She used her black magic to switch bodies with the wizard and then told your mother the only way to go home was to kill the witch of the west. I’m sure your mother has told you the tale. But was after your dear mother left that the truth came out.
Ruby: HAHAHA you fools! Did you really think you could kill me? It’s your precious wizard that was slain. And now, no one can stop me.
Glenda: I can and I will.
Ruby: Ah, my dear sister Glenda. You will be the first to fall by my hand.
Glenda: Not if I have help. Tin man, scarecrow, lion stand with me and avenge the wizard. Wait what are you doing? Stop!
Ruby: Sweet, sweet Glenda. You are as simple minded as ever. Did you really think I did not curse their gifts? The brainwashed mind of a genius, a heart made of the coldest metal, and I’ve saved the best for last, the lion has a bit more courage than he needs. So much in fact that it’s turned into blood lust. He the most dangerous predator Oz has ever seen. And he looks hungry doesn’t he?
Glenda: What good will come from my death? What are you after Ruby?
Ruby: With you gone I will be the last witch in Oz, hence the ruler of Oz. Enough Chatter. Dinner is served.
Glenda: Hide her Molly! Hide my daughter!!!
Ruby: Daughter??? Leon are you still hungry my pet?
Leon: of course I am.
Ruby: Good. Find the girl and kill anyone who tries to stop you.
Glenn: Emerald I’m… I’m so sorry
Emerald: It’s alright; it was fourteen years ago, I was only a few months old.
Glenn: This has been going on for fourteen years?
Molly: Yes and it gets harder and harder to hide Emerald by the day. Titan, the tin man, is the general of the witch’s army which does 24 hour surveillance. Hayden, the scarecrow, is the mad genius who pries into the minds of the people of Oz looking for clues of emeralds whereabouts. Leon, that mindless killer, has eaten all of the munchkins but I. He has killed nearly half the inhabitants of the Emerald city. Their blood covers every inch of it now.
Emerald: It’s now called the Ruby city and Oz has become a wasteland. You must help us.
Glenn: How?
Emerald: You broke the curse over the lion and you can do the same with the others. With my magic and your shoes, we could save Oz.
Glenn: Look, I can’t even save anyone. Can’t we go get my mom?
Molly: There isn’t any time you must save Oz. Now come the two of you we must go. It’s not safe to stay anywhere too long now. Soon the witch will know learn became of her hunter and no one will be safe.
Glenn: But what if I can’t do it? What if I fail?
Emerald: We will not fail if we stay together. Take my hand; this will be a long journey.
Glenn: Toto you better stay here it’s not safe. Be a good boy. Okay I’m ready but where are we going now?
Molly: We must find Titan and Hayden for you to lift the curses on them. If we want to get to the Ruby we’ll have to go through them. Shh! Listen, do you hear that?
Hayden: I know the answer to every equation
for me it’s a slice of pi.
I’m the greatest mind in all of Oz
A fact no one dares to deny.
I know the three of you are there so just come out.
Glenn: How did you hear us?
Hayden: I didn’t hear you at all my dear Glenn. Yes I know your name. I know everything, past, present, and future. I know all the answers and I am never wrong.
Molly: If you know all and never wrong then why not defeat Ruby and save Oz.
Hayden: Too much work Molly. I’m quite content among the poppies. Aren’t they grand? hahaha
Emerald: Oh wise Hayden I have a question for you. You are never wrong correct?
Hayden: That my little witch was a waste of a question. All of Oz knows I am never wrong and that I know all.
Glenn: Yes, but that was not her true question.
Emerald: What…
Glenn: I have a plan. You know all which means you knew who Emerald was and where she was this whole time but you didn’t tell Ruby. The only reason you could have done that is because you knew that I would come and you would help me save Oz and destroy Ruby. So the question is…will I win and we are saved or are you still Ruby’s crazed genius?
Hayden: I…I…I don’t know. I don’t know. I guess that means I’m back to normal…I think.
Glenn: Will you come with us we could use all the help we could get.
Hayden: But I’m useless now.
Molly: Come we must find Titan he’ll be fine
Glenn: Fine? Leon wasn’t fine when we left him and he isn’t fine either. Come on Hayden we’re going to find Leon then we’ll go get Titan.
Molly: Don’t be a fool.
Glenn: My mother would have never left them. If I’m going to save Oz I’m going save everyone in it. Are you coming?
Molly: No. Let’s go Emerald. We’ll take on Titan alone.
Glenn: Wait, you told me we couldn’t fail if we stayed together. Or was that a lie? Are you really going to leave Emmy? Please don’t. I need you too.
Emerald: Molly?
Molly: You truly are Dorothy’s son, sweet boy. Well, we’d better
Hayden: I know, I know hurry
Titan: It’s too late for that now.
Leon: I’m sorry Glenn, he made me track you.
Titan: Queen Ruby will be very pleased, very pleased indeed. Now come with me witch Ruby wants you alive.
Glenn: Over my dead body
Titan: As you wish
Molly: Head for the mountain and for once Glenn run!!! Have you no heart.
Titan: I do have a heart. It’s just very cold.
Glenn: You first. CLIMB!!!
Titan: Come down or I will cut you down bit by bit. I’ll start with your feet.
Emerald: Glenn the shoes
Titan: My heart…it’s broken.
Glenn: Where’s Molly?
Titan: She’s gone I can’t feel sorry but, I wish I could.
Glenn: Emmy I’m …
Emerald: Titan can you get us to Ruby?
Titan: Of course I can
Glenn: Let’s grab the others and go. Emmy we’ll stop her I promise no one’s going to get hurt anymore. For Molly
Emerald: For Molly and for Oz
Ruby: What is this? You three have finally found her? Just in time, this body is falling apart, I need a new one. And what better than the last witch in Oz.
Glenn: You’re not going to lay a hand on her!
Ruby: Who are you? It matters not. Leon, kill him!
Leon: Kill?!?!? Oh no I couldn’t.
Ruby: What is the meaning of this?
Hayden: I wish I knew.
Ruby: what has happened to you? Glenn: I broke your curses and you’re never going to cast another. I’m going to finish what my mother started.
Ruby: Mother? You have her shoes, but it matters not. I handled your mother just fine. It was foolish to spare her life, but I will never be so kind again. Do you really think you can stop me boy? Do you? Do you? Oh where are my manners ladies first.
Glenn: Emerald!
Emerald: NO!
Ruby: Nothing will stop me now HAHAHA! Wait, what are you doing? Stop!
Leon: Something I should have had the courage to do a long time ago
Emerald: Glenn, it’s over, get up oh please get up
Glenn: I don’t think that’s going to happen
Emerald: Help him, do something
Hayden: I don’t know what to do! If I had a brain, I would, but I don’t
Glenn: Emmy I want you to give my brain to Hayden so he can find a way to help Oz go back to the way it was. Give my courage to Leon so he can be brave enough to do the right thing all the time. Emerald, if I could, I would give my heart to you, but the Tin man needs it more. It will take a strong heart to rebuild Oz. You take the shoes and help them. You take the shoes and help them. I want to tell you before it’s too late I…
Emerald: I know
Leon: Titan are you crying?
Emerald: Yes, he is.
Titan: We shall build a statue in the city in his honor.
Leon: We’ll clean away the past and move forward together.
Hayden: We shall rename it as well… The crystal city. Let a thousand rainbows shine from it.
Emerald: With his statue in the center in remembrance for the one true wizard of Oz.
