Oz Theodora...What happened to you?!
Theodora You happened to me!
[conjures up a fireball and is about to throw it at Oz]

[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.

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.

[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]

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.

Oz Uh, you could tell?
Glinda 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.

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.

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]
