Confrontation and Recognition in Oz's Journey
Theodora
There's so much good here...It sickens me. Still think your wizard can save you? FROM THE LIKES OF ME?! SPEAK UP...or I will tear out your tongue!
[arriving in Glinda's kingdom in her new form; jumps in front of the Tinkers. They recoil in fright; levitates over to the Quadlings]
Oz
Now, who's that?
[to Glinda]
Theodora
Don't you recognize me, Wizard? Have I changed so much?
[spins around, swoops toward Oz and Glinda]
Oz
Theodora?
[shocked]
Theodora
May I have this dance?
[bows mockingly; levitates Oz and makes him dance]
Oz
Hey! Hey! Whoa! I get it! You're a little upset!
Glinda
Theodora, stop! You'll hurt him!
Oz
Theodora...What happened to you?!
Theodora
You happened to me!
[conjures up a fireball and is about to throw it at Oz]
Glinda
This isn't you, it's your sister. She's worked her magic on you. I'd hoped you'd be able to see through her...
[uses her wand to extinguish the fireball; points her wand at Theodora]
Theodora
Oh, Glinda...So naïve. Just like your father. That's why it was so easy for my sister to kill him.
[walks slowly towards Glinda and Oz]
Glinda
She only killed a man... Not what he believed in.
[sadly]
Female Quadling
Begone, witch, before the Wizard makes mush of you!
[brandishes her broomstick at Theodora]
Theodora
Ohh...how sweet. You all believe in him! Well, so did I, once. And as for you, my pretty one... When I return with my sister and her army, the Yellow Brick Road will be red with the blood of every tinker, farmer, and Munchkin in your kingdom.
[sarcastically; bitterly; to Glinda; lifts Glinda's chin with her nail and chuckles coldly]
Glinda
You underestimate us, Theodora. We are a strong and united people...And now, the Wizard is here to lead us.
[firmly]
Theodora
And as for your Wizard...he will be the first to die, and you will all see that he is nothing but a deceitful, selfish, and extremely mortal man! Give me that! It was a broom that you wanted...Wasn't it, Wizard?
[turns to face Glinda's people; magically summons the female Quadling's broom; as soon as it touches her hand, it turns black; flies away on the broom laughing viciously]

Heading Towards a Protective Barrier
Oz
These things go kind of fast, huh? Hey, is-is that a wall?
[traveling by bubble to Glinda's kingdom; notices the bubble around the castle]

Of sorts. It repels our enemies; it protects us from harm.
Oz
But we're headed straight for it.
Glinda
Yes, we are.
[cheerfully]
Oz
And going very fast. How do you, uh...? Does this thing have any brakes? I'm going too fast! I'm gonna die!
[nervously; panicking]
Glinda
You needn't worry, Wizard. It's a magic wall, and all good-hearted souls get to pass through.
[calmly; with realization]

I'M GONNA DIE!!!

Doubt and Loyalty in the Wizard's Arrival
Theodora
Isn't he wonderful? Didn't I say he would come?
Evanora
You dare escort that...oaf in here and and allow him to climb on the hallowed throne?
[angrily]
Theodora
And why not? He is the wizard.
Evanora
The wizard, or so he says. Did it not ever occur to you that he might be an impostor in league with the Wicked Witch and sent here to kill us?
Theodora
Wicked Witch? Don't be ridiculous.
Evanora
Oh, I'm not the one who is underestimating her cleverness. Or maybe it is you that I am underestimating. Have you finally joined her side, sister?
[pauses; Theodora looks at her in surprise]
Theodora
I am on no one's side. You know that. I simply want peace, that's all I ever wanted and the wizard can do that. He's a good man.
Evanora
What do you know about goodness? Deep down, you are wicked.
Theodora
I'm not WICKED!!!
[furiously; in her rage, she throws a fireball at a vase. She recoils]
Evanora
That temper really is wasted on you, isn't it?

Questioning the Nature of Wizardry
Oz
You know, I should tell you, I might not actually be a wizard...
[whispering to Glinda, as her city celebrates his arrival]
Glinda
Yes, I know.
Oz
Oh?
Glinda
Well, at least not any kind of wizard we were expecting.
Oz
Uh, you could tell?

Yes. I can also tell you're weak, selfish, slightly egotistical, and a fibber.
Oz
I see. Anything you don't know about me?
Glinda
Whether or not you'll save my people.
Oz
Ah, no, I just told you I'm not the wizard.

[nervously; [gold]

[Glinda picks up and starts flipping through the book: ''Mastering Magic'']

Oz the Great and Powerful - Quotes about Oz the Great and Powerful
Quotes about Oz the Great and Powerful
Watching our hero fill the clown-sized shoes of prophecy is only as unbearable as its creators inability to make their tale distinct. But enlivening detail is absent from most of Oz the Great and Powerful, a film that is largely distinguished by the fact that it's not quite as flavorless as it could have been (especially when compared to ]'s ]) … Yet when a film positions itself in the shadow of a beloved fantasy classic, passable isn't good enough. "Oz" never goes anywhere you don't expect it to. … Oz the Great and Powerful was apparently made by a committee whose honorary speaker just happens to be the director of ].

Sisterly Rivalry and Heartfelt Emotions
Evanora
What's the matter, sister?
Theodora
Look at how happy they all are. Do you think she'll be his Queen?
[jealously]
Evanora
Well, of course she'll be his Queen. You can't compete with Glinda's charms - no one can.
Theodora
Sister, it hurts!
[cries, her tears leaving burn scars on her face]
Evanora
Such is a broken heart - your precious "wizard" did that to you.
Theodora
Make it stop.
[turns to her]
Evanora
Would you like me to? One bite is all it takes. One bite, and your world will change forever. One bite, and your heart will become impenetrable. One bite, and you and I will finally share the throne. Unless you'd rather see Oz and Glinda there?
[Theodora pauses; dissolve to Evanora offering her an enchanted green apple; seeing Theodora's hesitation]
Theodora
...You're the wicked one - not Glinda! Sister, you lied to me!
[stares up at her sister; Evanora smirks, victorious]
Evanora
It's nice, isn't it? How clear everything becomes.
Theodora
What is happening to me?!
[begins convulsing with pain and gasping for breath; tearing off her cloak and necklace, she staggers across the room]
Evanora
Oh. It's just your heart withering away. Fear not, Theodora, for soon you will feel nothing at all, except...beautiful wickedness. Sister? Oh, sister, you're hideous. I can cast a simple enchantment, and have you looking just the way you were before.
[chuckling; Theodora stumbles across the room, hallucinating about Oz laughing, and collapses behind a table; the fire blazes high. Evanora steps cautiously towards her; shrieks and recoils as Theodora's hand, now clawed and green-skinned, shoots up and grabs the table. Evanora appears startled as Theodora - still unseen - stands up, casting a menacing silhouette on the wall; smiles weakly]
Theodora
No! This is who I am now. I want him to see me like this. I want him to know that he was the one who made me this way.
[flips her wide-brimmed red hat inside out, revealing a black witch's hat; cackling]
Evanora
Oh, dear.

Confrontation Over Belief in the Wizard
Theodora
OUT OF MY WAY! Give up, Glinda. Why do you continue to resist?
[Laughing; flies into the city on her broom, causing the citizens to jump aside in fright; she lands in front of Glinda, stares at her for a moment, then kneels so that they are eye-to-eye]
Glinda
Because I believe in the Wizard.
Theodora
So did I, once. Behold. LOOK! Your Wizard!
[her face darkens with rage; stands up, pointing to Oz's balloon full of stolen gold, rising over the city]

Where is he going?

Oz
Oh, right.
[laughs]
Finley
Wow, you fooled everybody - That was your greatest trick yet!
Oz
That was just the opening act.
[grins]
Evanora
Let this be the final word! Your prophecy is dead. Like the king who spoke it, and the wizard who tried to fulfill it! All dead!
[to the Citizens; Oz and Finley glance nervously in her direction as she and Theodora step forward on either side of Glinda]
Oz
It's showtime.
[to Finley; leads him towards the projection-booth carriage, where the Master Tinker and Knuck are beckoning them]
Theodora
And they will be joined in death, by Glinda the Good! Farewell.
[to the Citizens; the citizens watch sadly as Theodora and Evanora close on Glinda]
Evanora
Say hello to your daddy for me.
[she and Theodora conjure green lightning and red flames, respectively, and begin charging up their magical energies for the killing blow]

Evanora
Guards! Destroy him!
Guard Officer
Forward! Attack! .
[They throw javelins, to no avail. Oz laughs; the guards retreat]
Evanora
Guards! Come back here in an instant!
Oz
You thought you could kill me?! Me?! Thanks to you, I have shed my mortal shell and taken my true ethereal form. I am now more powerful than ever! I am invincible! You still doubt me?!
[thunderously]
Theodora
Doubt you? I defy you! .
[throws a fireball; Finley pulls a lever; Oz's image fades]
