(The scene changes back to Maleficent’s throne room.)
Maleficent: (Booming voice) Can I believe my eyes? Why have you come back?
Arnold: (Shows her the staff) Please, ma’am. We've done what you've told us. We brought you the snake staff of Jafar. We melted him. (Placed the staff by the throne)
Maleficent: (Impressed) Ah, you liquidated him, eh? Very resourceful.
Arnold: Yes, ma’am. So we'd like you to keep your promise to us, if you please, ma’am.
Maleficent: (Booming voice) Not so fast. Not so fast! I'll have to give the matter a little thought. Go away and come back tomorrow.
Arnold: (Shocked) Tomorrow? Oh, but I wanna go home now!
Jenny: (Angrily) You've had plenty of time already!
Kairel: (Agreeing with Jenny) Yeah!
Maleficent: (Booming voice) Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Maleficent! I said come back tomorrow! (Gidget suddenly notices a mysterious looking booth with a green curtain and something or someone hiding behind it. She walks over to the booth)
Arnold: If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises.
Maleficent: Do you presume to criticize the great Maleficent? (Gidget pulls the green curtain revealing a young brownhaired British woman who is pulling levers controlling the image.) You ungrateful creatures! Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now! (Looks over her shoulder) Oh! (Speaking into microphone) The great Maleficent has spoken! Oh! (Closes the curtain and speaks into the microphone) Pay no attention to that woman behind the curtain! (Arnold walks up and pulls the curtain) The great Maleficent has spoken.
Arnold: Who are you?
Anna Leonowens: (Speaking into microphone) I am the great and powerful... (Normal voice) Witch of Oz.
Arnold: You are? I don't believe you.
Anna: (Ashamed) I'm afraid it's true. There's no other Witch except me.
Sally: (Angrily) You biddy!
Kairel: (Agreeing with Sally) Yeah.
Anna: Yes, that's exactly so. I'm a biddy.
Arnold: Oh, you're a very bad woman!
Anna: Oh, no, my boy. I'm a very good woman. I'm just a very bad witch.
Sally: What about the heart that you promised Jenny? And the courage that you promised Kairel?
Jenny and Kairel: (Together) And Sally’s brain?
Anna: Why anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from we have universities, seats of great learning, where women can go to become great thinkers and when they come out, they think deep thoughts, and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got. A diploma. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitatus Committeeatum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D. (Presents Sally a diploma)
Sally: (Surprised) Th.D?
Anna: That's Doctor of Thinkology..
Sally: (Places her finger on her head) The sum of the square roots of two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to square root of the remaining side. (Happily) Oh, joy! Rapture! I've got a brain! How can I ever thank you enough?
Anna: Well, you can't. (To Kairel) As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom. Back where I come from, we have women who are called heroines. Once a year, they take their fortitude out of moth balls and parade it down the main street of the city and they have no more courage than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got a medal. Therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, consipicuous bravery against Wicked Sorcerers, I award you the Triple Cross. (Presents her a medal and placed it on her fur) You are now a member of the Legion of Courage. (Kisses Kairel)
Kairel: (Timidly) Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. (Chuckling)
Anna: (To Jenny) As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Jenny: But I still want one.
Anna: Back where I come from, there are women who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phila er- Good-deed-doers. And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven't got. A testimonial. Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection (Presents Jenny a heart-shaped watch) And remember, my sentimental friend that a heart is not judged by how much you love but by how much you are loved by others.
Jenny: (Smiling) Ah! (Holds up the watch to her ear) Oh! It ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks! (Shows the watch to Arnold, Sally, and Kairel)
Kairel: (Showing them her medal) Read what my medal says. "Courage." Ain't it the truth? Ain't it the truth?
Arnold: Oh, they're all wonderful.
Sally: Hey, what about Arnold?
Jenny: Yes, how about Arnold?
Kairel: Yeah. Arnold next.
Anna: Yes. Arnold.
Arnold: Oh, I don't think there's anything in that black bag for me.
Anna: Well, you force me into a catactlysmic decision. The only way to get Arnold back to Kansas is for me to take him there myself.
Arnold: (Gasping happily) Oh, will you? Could you? Oh! Oh, but are you a clever enough witch to manage it?
Anna: Child, you cut me to the quick! I'm an old Kansas woman myself, born and bred in the western wilderness premier balloonist par excellence to the Miracle Wonderland Carnival Company. Until one day, while performing feats of stratospheric skill never before attempted by civilized woman an unfortunate phenomena occurred. The balloon failed to return to the fair.
Kairel: It did?
Arnold: Weren't you frightened?
Anna: Frightened? You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe. I was petrified. Then suddenly, the wind changed and the balloon floated down into this noble city, where I was instantly acclaimed Oz, the first witch deluxe. Times being what they were, I accepted the job retaining my balloon against the advent of a quick getaway. (Chuckling) And in that balloon, my dear Arnold, you and I will return to the land of E Pluribus Unum.
