The Jitterbug (Outtake)
DOROTHY: Did you just hear what I just heard?
SCARECROW: That noise didn't come from an ordinary bird
DOROTHY: It may be just a cricket or a critter in the tree
TINMAN: It's giving me the jitters in the joints around my knees
LION: I think I see a shadow and it's fuzzy and it's furry
SCARECROW: I havn't got a brain but I think I ought to worry
TIMAN: I havn't got a heart but I feel a palpatation
Lion: As monarch of the forest I don't like the situation
DOROTHY: Are you gonna stand around and let them fill us full of
horror? (to lion)
Lion: I'd like to roar them down... But I think I lost my roarer
SCARECROW: It's a whosis!
LION: It's a whosis?
TINMAN: It's a whatsits!
LION: It's a whatsits?
