Batman 1966: The Wizard of Oz

Dick Imprisoned

The camera switches to the Witch's castle

Wicked Witch of the West: (Petting Toto mockingly) What a nice little dog. (Puts Toto in the basket and she turns to Dick) And you, my dear. What an unexpected pleasure. It's so kind of you to visit me in my loneliness.

Dick: (Fearfully) What are you gonna do with my puppy? Give her back to me!

Wicked Witch of the West: All in good time, my little pretty. All in good time.

Dick: (Begging) Oh, please give me back my puppy.

Wicked Witch of the West: Certainly, certainly, when you give me those slippers.

Dick: But the Good Witch of the North told me not to.

Wicked Witch of the West: Very well. (To Nikko) Throw that basket in the river and drown her.

Dick: No, no. No here, you can have your old slippers, I don't want them, just give me back Toto!

Wicked Witch of the West: That's a good little boy. I knew you'd see reason.

She placed her fingers on the ruby slippers but gets zapped which causes her to scream in pain.

Dick: (Apologetically) Oh I'm sorry, I didn't do it. Can I still have my puppy?

Wicked Witch of the West: (Yelling) No! Fool that I am, I should have remembered. Those slippers will never come off, as long as you're alive. But that's not what's worrying me. It's how to do it. These things must be done delicately or you'll hurt the spell.

Toto leaps out of the basket and runs out the door.

Dick: Run, Toto, run!

Wicked Witch of the West: (To Nikko) Catch her, you fool!

Toto runs down the staircase and scampers over drawbridge as the Winkie guards throw spears at her.

Dick: Run, Toto, run! Run, Toto, run! She got away! She got away!

Wicked Witch of the West: (Exasperated) Oh! Which is more that you will! Drat, you and your dog! You've been more trouble to me than worth one way or another. But it'll soon be over now! (Shows him the large hourglass that has blood-red sand) Do you see that? That's how much longer you've got to be alive. (Dick is on the verge of tears) It isn't long, my pretty. It isn't long! I can't wait forever to get those shoes!

Then she stalks away and locks Dick in the tower room. Dick starts to cry and sits down.

Dick: I'm not going to cry... I'm not going to cry, I-I'm not going to cry! Holy eviction, why did I ever leave home? What was it that I was looking for that I couldn't find there? If I could only lie down and sleep. My poor shabby little bedroom I used to hate it, but... Oh what I wouldn't give for it now (singing)
That counterpane upon my bed, the flaking plaster overhead...
How I miss it now
Someday I'll wake, and rub my eyes, and in that land beyond the skies
You'll find me, and I'll be home!
Home...
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then...
Oh why...
Did I? (Crying) I'm frightened. I'm frightened, Aunt Harriet! I'm frightened.

As he cries the image of Harriet appears in the crystal ball.

Harriet: (Worried) Dick! Dick! Where are you? It's me. it's Aunt Harriet. We're trying to find you. Where are you?

Dick: I'm here in Oz, Aunt Harriet. I'm locked up in the Witch's castle and I'm trying to get home to you, Aunt Harriet! (The image of Harriet disappeared) (Begging fearfully) Oh, Aunt Harriet, don't go away! I'm frightened! Come back! Come back!

The image of the Wicked Witch of the West appears in the crystal ball.

Wicked Witch of the West: (Mockingly) "Aunt Harriet, Aunt Harriet! Come back!" I'll give you Aunt Harriet my pretty!

Cackling evilly and the image of the Witch disappears. Dick continues to cry as sand in the hourglass comes down.
