I’m pretty well, thank you How do you do?
Scarecrow :
I’m not feeling well because it is very tiring and dull being
perched up here night and day to scare away crows.
Dorothy : Don’t you get down?
Scarecrow : No, this pole is stuck up my back. If you will please take away
the poles, I shall be greatly obliged to you
(Dorothy reaches up both arms and lifts the figure of the pole)
Scarecrow : Thank you very much. I feel like a new man. Who are you?
And where are you going?
Dorothy : My name is Dorothy and I am going to the Emerald City. I’m
going to ask the Great Oz to send me back to Kansas.
Scarecrow : Where is Emerald? And who is Oz?
Dorothy : Why, don’t you know?
Scarecrow : No, indeed I don’t know anything. You see, I am stuffed so I
have no brains at all.
Dorothy : Oh! I’m awfully sorry for you.
Scarecrow : Do you think if I go to the Emerald City with you that Oz
would give me some brains?
Dorothy : I cannot tell, but you may come with me if you like. If Oz will
not give you any brains you will be no worse off than you are
now.
Scarecrow :
Then I will come with you to Oz as I really want some brains.
You see I don’t want my legs and arms and body being stuffed
because I cannot get hurt. If anyone treads on my toes or sticks
a pin into me it doesn’t matter for I can’t feel it and if my head
stays stuff with straw instead of with brains as yours is how am
I ever to know anything.
Dorothy : I understand how you feel. If you will come with me I’ll ask
Oz to do all he can for you.
Scarecrow : Thank you.
(Toto the dog, growls in an unfriendly way at Scarecrow)
Dorothy : Don’t mind Toto. He never bites.
Scarecrow : Oh, I’m not afraid. He can’t hurt the straw. Don’t let me carry
that basket for you. I shall not mind it, for I can I can’t get
tired. I’ll tell you a secret. There is only one thing in the world
I am afraid of.

Scarecrow : No, it’s a lighted match.
