Quote #4
Then Dorothy lost heart. She sat down on the grass and looked at her companions, and they sat down and looked at her, and Toto found that for the first time in his life he was too tired to chase a butterfly that flew past his head…. (14.8)
Oh, man. You know that when Toto's not chasing butterflies, things are baaaaaad. The gang is completely lost, somewhere between the Wicked Witch's castle and the Emerald City, and they're all losing hope. Disappointment is real, folks. So, how does Dorothy find the gumption to move forward at this point?
Quote #5

Quote #6
"Who are you?"
"I am Oz, the Great and Terrible," said the little man, in a trembling voice, "but don't strike me—please don't!—and I'll do anything you want me to." (15.34-15.35)
