(Fluttershy and Max keep walking down the Yellow Brick Road, until they come to a crossroads in a cornfield.)
Fluttershy: Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Follow the Yellow Brick-- Now which way should we go?
(Fluttershy then hears a voice out of nowhere.)
Voice: Pardon me, that way's a very nice way.
Fluttershy: (confused) Who said that?
(She looks around and sees nothing but a mouse named Mickey Mouse stuck up on a pole. Max starts barking at him.)
Fluttershy: Don't be silly, Max. Mice don't talk.
Mickey Mouse: It's pleasant down that way too. (points to the left.)
Fluttershy: (shocked) That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?
Mickey Mouse: Of course, people do go both ways. (points in both directions.)
Fluttershy: (realizing) Why, you did say something, didn't you?
(Mickey Mouse just keeps nodding and shaking his head at the same time.)
Fluttershy: Are you doing that on purpose, or can't you make up your mind?
Mickey Mouse: That's the trouble. I can't make up my mind. I haven't got a brain. Only straw.
Fluttershy: How can you talk if you don't have a brain?
Mickey Mouse: I don't know. But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?
Fluttershy: Yes, I guess you're right. Well, we haven't really met properly have we?
Mickey Mouse: Why, no.
Fluttershy: How do you do?
Mickey Mouse: How do you do?
Fluttershy: Very well, thank you.
Mickey Mouse: Oh, I'm not feeling at all well. You see, it's very tedious being stuck up here with a pole up your back.
Fluttershy: Oh, dear. That must be terribly uncomfortable. Can't you get down?
Mickey Mouse: Down? No, you see, I'm -- Well, -- I'm --
Fluttershy: Oh, well then, let me help you.
Mickey Mouse: Oh, that's kind of you. Very kind.
(Fluttershy walks around to the back of Mickey Mouse, but can't seem to find a way to get him down.)
Fluttershy: Well, oh, dear -- I don't quite see.......how I can --
Mickey Mouse: Of course, I'm not bright about doing things, but if you'll just bend the nail down the back, maybe I'll slip off and--
(Fluttershy does as he says, and Mickey Mouse falls off the pole to the ground, and some of his straw falls out. Fluttershy rushes to his aid.)
Mickey Mouse: Whhhooops! Ha-ha -- there goes some of me again!
Fluttershy: Oh! Does that hurt you?
Mickey Mouse: Oh, no. I just keep picking em up and putting them back in again! (Mickey Mouse stands up on his two legs.) My, it's good to be free! (And falls back down again.)
Mickey Mouse: (to Fluttershy) Did I scare you?
Fluttershy: No, I just thought you hurt yourself.
Mickey Mouse: But I didn't scare you?
Fluttershy: No. Of course not.
Mickey Mouse: (dejectedly) I didn't think so.
(Just then a crow flys up to them. Mickey Mouse tries to scare it off, but it doesn't work.)
Mickey Mouse: You see? I can't even scare a crow. They come from miles around just to eat in my field and laugh in my face. Oh, I'm a failure because I haven't got a brain.
Fluttershy: Well, what would you do with a brain if you had one?
Mickey Mouse: Do? Well, If I had a brain I could-- (starts singing) I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin' if I only had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le in trouble or in pain.
Fluttershy: (singing) With the thoughts you'd be thinking, you could be another Lincoln if you only had a brain.
Mickey Mouse: (singing) Oh, I could tell you why, the ocean's near the shore, I could think of things I never thunk before, and then I'd sit and think some more. I would not be just a nothing, my head all full of stuffing, my heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry life would be a ding-a-derry if I only had a brain! (stops singing and dancing and falls to the ground.)
Fluttershy: Wonderful! Why if our mice back in Kansas could do that, the crows would be scared to pieces!
Mickey Mouse: They would?!
Fluttershy: Mm-Hmm.
Mickey Mouse: Where's Kansas?
Fluttershy: That's where I live. And I wanna get back there so badly, I'm going all the way to the Emerald City to get the Wizard of Oz to help me.
Mickey Mouse: You're going to see a Wizard?
Fluttershy: Mm-Hmm.
Mickey Mouse: Do you think if I went with you, this Wizard would give me some brains?
Fluttershy: I wouldn't say. But even if he didn't, you'd be no worse off then you are now.
Mickey Mouse: Yes, that's true.
Fluttershy: But, maybe you'd better not. I've got a witch mad at me and you might get into trouble.
Mickey Mouse: Witch? Ha! I'm not afraid of a witch! I'm not afraid of anything! (remembers something) Except a lighted match.
Fluttershy: I don't blame you for that.
Mickey Mouse: But I'd face a whole box full of them for the chance of getting some brains. Look -- I won't be any trouble, because I don't eat a thing -- and I won't try to manage things, because I can't think. Won't you take me with you?
Fluttershy: Why, of course I will.
Mickey Mouse: (overjoyed) Hooray! We're off to see a Wizard! (stands on his legs and almost falls but Fluttershy holds on to him.)
Fluttershy: Oh -- well -- you're not starting out very well.
Mickey Mouse: Oh, I'll try! Really, I will!
Fluttershy: To Oz?
Mickey Mouse: To Oz!
Both: (singing) We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz! We hear he is a wiz of a Wiz If ever a Wiz there was. If ever oh ever a Wiz there was, The Wizard of Oz is one because. Because, because, because, because, because! Because of the wonderful things he does. We're off to see the Wizard! The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
(Fluttershy and Max start down the Yellow Brick Road with their new friend, Mickey Mouse.)
