JOURNEY TO OZ after Liman Frank Baum
Part Four PRINCESS OZMA
Top and Pumpkinhead Jack have run away from Wicked Witch Mombi.
I know it.
General Jinjur has captured the Emerald City.
- I know it, too. - Dolly has come to the Land of Oz again.
It has been the best news lately.
Now the team headed by the Tin Woodman is halfway from the Emerald City.
- Is the City far away? - Are you tired?
- As if he's going on foot! - My pumpkin got scorched.
It's all right. We'll be there in the evening.
It's strange. I've never seen this field here before.
- Oh, my head is spinning. - So is mine.
So what? My head is always spinning.
Look!
Twisting-twirling-whirling-swirling.
- It's Mombi. She found me. - Close your eyes and hold on to me.
Everything you see around or you don't see around is a mirage.
Such illusions often occur in deserts and semi-deserts...
...prairies and semi-prairies, steppes and semi-steppes... Any questions?
I've got one. Will you shut up?
Twirling-whirling
Turbanda-curbanda!
Will you go to the Emerald City with your eyes closed?
What did I tell you? It's a typical semi- steppe mirage. Don't pay attention to it.
And what about this?
Is it also a mirage?
Maybe. But this hypothesis needs to be verified.
I don't know what a hypothesis is, but I'm afraid I'll burn.
And what about me?
And you'll make a great pudding, my Pumpkinhead friend.
Daddy, we'd better run for our lives!
And what if it's really a mirage? I'll check.
No way! Reconnaissance is no girl's business.
I'll go!
He died.
My poor daddy.
Now I'm an orphan.
Are you cooking taffy?
You've ruined it!
Where are you? Come here!
Now it's verified.
The Witch made us lose our way. I've never seen this oak-tree here!
And you don't see it now. It's another one of Mombi's mirages.
Look!
This mirage is too hard.
- Are you all right, brother? - I think I've got a concussion.
- A concussion! - But I'm glad.
You can't get a concussion if you've got no brain.
I've got a great idea.
Can you see these holes? Field mice live here. It means we can...
We can call the Queen of Mice! She'll help us find the way out!
You're a genius, Scarecrow!
Good afternoon, Your Majesty!
Hello. Can I help my old friends?
Line up!
Dress!
Attention!
What is it? Stand to attention!
Arms along your seams!
I've got seams here and here...
- Recover! Three extra duties! - Three extra duties?
You're lucky! I also want extras!
We need to lay an ambush!
A general should know this stratagem.
That's it. Time to say good-bye.
- It's always so sad. - Yes.
- I say that it's always very sad. - I agree with you completely.
It's all right, Your Majesty. He has got a concussion.
A concussion's got nothing to do with it. Your mice have crawled inside me.
Mischievous mice, get out!
Your Majesty, I've got an idea. Can we take them?
Don't worry. Today they'll be back safe and sound.
It's so strange. Where are the girls?
It's too easy to be true.
Come on. The girls got a fright and ran away.
This room reminds me of something.
How dare you sit on my throne?
Whoever has taken the throne will sit on it!
But how shall I rule the country?
You won't. Whoever sits on the throne rules the country.
Why talk to her? Let's give her a sound thrashing.
Right.
Oh-oh.
Whoever sits on the throne rules the country.
Now I shall punish every one for your attempted rebellion.
The Tin Woodman...
I shall melt him down and make buttons.
We shall use your sharp wits to sew them on.
This disgusting insect...
I'm a Tumbling Beetle, Significantly Magnified and Well-Educated.
We shall diminish you and feed you to hens.
Who's next?
You're good. It's a pity you got involved with them.
Would you like to be a captain of my Guards?
No way.
- What?! I'll turn you into... - Whatever you want!
She's got neither Silver Shoes nor Golden Cap.
I'll attend to you personally, kid.
Halt!
They'll never come in here again.
And we'll never get out either.
From the point of view of...
We're surrounded. From any point of view.
We have to find a way out.
Where is my axe?
It's under the ceiling. I feel it.
A flying axe! I've got an idea!
If we can't escape on foot, let's go by air.
I can't go by air.
You won't have to. You'll fly.
It's even worse.
We'll starve them out.
May be. I'm smelling something suspicious.
And now I feel some serious trouble.
I don't want to hear about any trouble!
You've suggested a good idea. A mine!
I know some dwarves from the army of Ruggedo, the King of Underground.
He's my good friend, by the way.
Who's there?
We're your friends.
- What do you want? - I've got a business proposal.
And how will it fly without wings?
Here they are! The wings!
Every aircraft should have a tail.
Look what I've found in the basement! Nice, isn't it?
What do you want, old hag? Begging again?
Why beg? I've got a business proposal.
- What business can we have? - Scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.
- I'll give you 100 poods of emeralds. - And what do you want for it?
Nothing special. Your Magical Belt.
What?!
- Get out of here! - A Diamond Eye then?
A Diamond Eye?
You're nuts!
- I'll make... - Don't! Transforming Tobacco, deal?
How much?
3 pinches.
Then you'll give me 300 poods of diamonds.
Thank you very much. I'll never forget your kindness.
Get out of here! And don't cheat on me! I'll get you everywhere!
Have I ever cheated on anybody?
There's too little of the Powder of Life left.
- Pour it on the wings. - On the head.
Don't forget the tail.
I think we made it.
Wow! Know! How!
Wow!
I'm so ugly! Even a dachshund has got longer legs!
Destroy me!
No, you're very nice.
Hey, you! Hurry up!
We should have made the stag on the roof!
He can't get out!
- Here you are, my dearest! - Let's take the risk.
Turbanda-curbanda!
It can't be real!
I'm flying in the sky!
I'm moving the furniture!
And I used to be...
...a beautiful and proud animal...
...I wandered the forests.
And who am I now?
You are a Flying Sofa!
We are flying in the sky
Faster than a plane.
- Hurray to the freedom! - Hurray to the progress!
- We're not afraid of blizzards. - Of storms or hurricanes!
A Flying Sofa is the safest aircraft.
It's so tragic! We should tell Glinda that they got killed.
Why do you think so? They could survive.
Stop it! Let's watch!
What is it? I feel like I fell down!
Not only you.
And where are the others?
- I'm here. - So we are.
- Thanks, daddy! - And where is our stag?
I'm here!
I'm real junk!
- Hurray! We're safe and sound! - I'm not.
- I lost my straw. - But your head is intact.
That's why I've got an idea.
Stuff me with these green leaves.
Brilliant!
These look like the leaves of an evergreen tree '"broomus greenus'".
- It's money! - Money? Never heard of it.
Of course. You live in the Land of Oz.
It's the most precious thing in my native Kansas.
But where did it come from?
- It looks like a crow's nest. - A magcrow's nest.
A magcrow is a crossbreed of a crow and a magpie. They often steal things.
I'll be the richest person in the Land of Oz. And in the whole world.
What is it? Is the money so unhealthy?
My Uncle Henry used to say that money spoils people.
Turbanda! Curbanda! They are going to visit Glinda!
I watched you closely. Can I help you?
A girl gang captured and plundered my Emerald City!
You must reinstall me on my throne!
Must I? Reinstall you?!
As you wish. I can beat any enemy with all this money.
Stupid Scarecrow. Money is worthless in the Fairy Land of Oz.
One needs sharp wit here and you lost it.
How come?
I'm sorry. I was a complete fool.
Rita, Lynda! Shake His Majesty out and stuff him with nice fresh straw.
The history of the Land of Oz is very mysterious.
Evil witches killed its last ruler Pastoria.
His daughter Princess Ozma disappeared that very day.
Is there anything about her in the Book?
Unfortunately, there is not a word about what happened to Ozma in the Book.
You've missed one interesting fact.
I noticed that the Witches from the East and the West fought for the power...
...without their sister Mombi.
But people saw her in the Emerald City that very day when the Princess disappeared.
- Mombi could kidnap the girl and... - And what?
We shall ask Mombi about it.
Hello, Auntie!
We should run! Glinda is too tough to mess up with.
You can't get away. Tell us about Princess Ozma.
I'll tell you everything. But first let me have a snuff.
It's the Transforming Powder!
I got you.
I'm asking you for the last time. Where is Ozma?
Here she is!
What? Am I a girl? Funny!
Come on. She is lying.
- Not this time. - I don't want to be a girl!
It's not that awful.
- But why did she do it? - Why?
You won't get it, stupid scarecrow!
I turned Ozma into a boy so that no one could find her.
And I was going to tame her.
And then I would return her to the throne and rule the Emerald City on her behalf.
And now in accordance with the clause 88/8 you'll go to jail.
We'll punish her later.
First she must restore the true face of Princess Ozma!
I don't want to be Ozma! I want to be Top.
Then in accordance with sections A, B, C, D Mombi will be declared innocent.
Ad she will have her nephew back.
Top, my dearest! Give your Auntie a hug!
No, I agree to be a Princess.
Mombi has got a chance to practice her witchcraft for the very last time.
- I can't! I lost it! - What did you lose?
- I lost it all. The recipes, the memory... - You lost your conscience, old turbanda!
Wait! What is it?
Be a man, daddy!
I'm happy that the Emerald City and the Land of Oz...
...will be governed by a legitimate ruler. She's young and beautiful Ozma.
This Diamond Eye belonged to your father. It was stolen. Now it's yours, Ozma.
You will see whatever you want in it.
Even the things that are far away.
Then you'll see me and Scarecrow.
Every day at 6 sharp we shall blow you kisses.
Thank you, my friends! I love you all.
Oh, turbanda-curbanda...
My dear friend Dolly. I am afraid even Glinda cannot help you to go home.
- But I can! - The magic will not work there.
I prefer being a stuffed head than a piece of flying furniture.
Farewell, my friends!
Good luck!
