The camera switches back to the poppy field.
Mark: Come on, let's get out of here. Look! Emerald City is closer and prettier than ever!
Optimistic Voices: (Singing) You're out of the woods. You're out of the dark. You're out of the night. Step into the sun. Step into the light. (Mark and his friends come out of the poppy field and heads for the Emerald City) Keep straight ahead for The most glorious place. On the face of the earth or the sky. Hold on to your breath. Hold on to your heart. Hold on to your hope. March up to that gate and bid it open.
The camera switches to the Wicked Warlock he takes his broomstick and he heads to the window cackling.
Wicked Warlock of the West: (To his broom) To the Emerald City, as fast as lightning!
He flies out the window on her broomstick as he cackles and he heads for the Emerald City. Then the camera switches outside of the Emerald City as Mark and his friends head for the green gate.
Optimistic Voices: (Singing) You're out of the woods. You're out of the dark. You're out of the night. Step into the sun. Step into the light. March up to that gate and bid it open. Open.
Mark rings the door bell and the doorman sticks his head out of the door's porthole
Doorman: Who rang that bell?
Mark and friends: (Together) We did!
Doorman: Can't you read?
Scarecrow: Read what?
Doorman: The notice!
Mark and Scarecrow: (Together) What notice?
Doorman: It's on the door! As plain on the nose on my face! (Groaning in frustration and does a tsk expression, he puts the notice on the door and goes back inside)
Mark and friends: (Reading the notice together) "Bell out of order. Please knock."
Mark knocks the door.
Doorman: Well! That's more like it! Now, state your business.
Mark and his friends: (Together) We wanna see the Wizard.
Doorman: (Gasps) The Wizard? But nobody can see the great Oz. Nobody's ever seen the great Oz! Even I've never seen him!
Mark: Well, then how do you know there is one?
Doorman: Because he... (Frustrated) Oh! You're wasting my time!
Mark: Oh, please. Please, sir. I've got to see the Wizard. The Good Witch of the North sent me.
Doorman: Prove it!
Scarecrow: He's wearing the ruby slippers that she gave her.
Mark shows the doorman the ruby boots.
Doorman: (Understands) Oh! So he is! Well, bust my buttons! Why didn't you say that in the first place? (Mark and his friends smiled) That's a horse of a different color! Come on in! (Laughing joyfully)
The doors open as Mark and his friends see inside the Emerald City. The Ozian citizens all wear green clothes.
