I have spent several lovely evenings with Judy this week... TCM has "Life Begins for Andy Hardy" and "Little Nellie Kelly" airing on June 19... More Judy for us!
I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Dear Mr. BT,
I am writing this to you.
And I hope that you will read it so you'll know.
My heart goes pitter-patter
and I stutter and I stammer.
Each time I see your avatar trio.

They made me love them
I didn't wanna do it, I didn't wanna do it.
They made me love them
and all the time they knew it, I guess they always knew it.
They made me happy, sometimes they made me glad.
But there were times, boys, they made me feel so sad.

You're looking just as pretty as a spanish omelet
but now I've gotta learn you how to get the table set.
First comes the plate, then the cup and sassy
the knife and fork and here's your spoon, the nappy by the glassy.
You serve em to the left, you take off to the right
Give em ginger peachy service or you'll sperl their appetite.

GLINDA
You don't need to be helped any longer.
You've always had the power to go back to
Kansas.
DOROTHY
I have?
SCARECROW
Then why didn't you tell her before?
GLINDA
Because she wouldn't have believed me. She
had to learn it for herself.
TIN MAN
What have you learned, Dorothy?
MCU -- Dorothy -- Lion behind her -- she speaks --
DOROTHY
Well, I -- I think that it -- that it
wasn't enough just to want to see Uncle
Henry and Auntie Em -- and it's that -- if
I ever go looking for my heart's desire
again, I won't look any further than my own
backyard. Because if it isn't there, I
never really lost it to begin with! Is
that right?
MCS -- Tin Man, Dorothy, Glinda, Scarecrow and Lion on platform -- they
speak -- Glinda points down to Dorothy's slippers --
GLINDA
That's all it is!
SCARECROW
But that's so easy! I should have thought
of it for you.
TIN MAN
I should have felt it in my heart.
GLINDA
No. She had to find it out for herself.
Now, those magic slippers will take you
home in two seconds!
DOROTHY
Oh....
CS -- Dorothy and Glinda -- Scarecrow in b.g. -- Dorothy reacts, speaks -- turns about -- begins to cry as she realizes she will lose her three friends -- CAMERA PANS her left to Tin Man -- she wipes his tears away -- gives him his oil can and then kisses him -- then CAMERA TRUCKS forward slightly as she says goodbye to the Lion -- PANS right slightly as she turns to the Scarecrow -- hugs him -- then steps back to Glinda as CAMERA
PANS slightly --
DOROTHY
...Toto, too?
GLINDA
Toto, too.
DOROTHY
Oh, now?
GLINDA
Whenever you wish.
DOROTHY
Oh, dear -- that's too wonderful to be true!
Oh, it's -- it's going to be so hard to say
goodbye. I love you all, too. Goodbye, Tin
Man. Oh, don't cry. You'll rust so
dreadfully. Here -- here's your oil-can.
Goodbye.
TIN MAN
Now I know I've got a heart -- 'cause it's
breaking.
DOROTHY
Oh -- Goodbye, Lion. You know, I know it
isn't right, but I'm going to miss the way
you used to holler for help before you found
your courage.
LION
Well -- I would never've found it if it
hadn't been for you.
DOROTHY
I think I'll miss you most of all.
GLINDA
Are you ready now?
DOROTHY
Yes. Say goodbye, Toto.
MS -- Dorothy waves Toto's paw at the Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow -- then speaks to Glinda -- Glinda instructs her --
DOROTHY
Yes, I'm ready now.
GLINDA
Then close your eyes, and tap your heels
together three times.
MCU -- Dorothy's heels as she clicks them together three times --
MCU -- Dorothy and Glinda -- Glinda instructs her -- waves her wand -- Dorothy closes her eyes -- CAMERA TRUCKS in to a big CU of Dorothy -- she speaks -- the scene darkens behind her --
GLINDA
And think to yourself -- "There's no place
like home; there's no place like home;
there's no place like home."
DOROTHY
There's no place like home. There's no
place like home. There's no place like
home. There's no place like home.
