Every girl wants to be Dorothy Gale or maybe Glinda. I never wanted to be the tornado.

You are a nice person, and you’re also full of anger. You’re a walking tangle of contradictions. That’s okay. Most of us are like that. Women, most of all. How could we not be? People want us to be sexy warriors who roll over and play dead on command. They want us to be flirty burlesque dancers in burkas, aggressive conquistadors with cookies in the oven, Dorothy Parker meets Dorothy Gale, Sandra Bernhard meets Sandra Dee, Kristen Stewart meets Martha Stewart.

I shivered. The story was true. The Wizard of Oz had been real. Dorothy Gale had really been swept up by a tornado and brought to the Land of Oz. True, what I was living now didn't seem like the kind of storybook tale I was used to. But it didn't mean they didn't exist.

If that’s not good enough, tell him that Dorothy Gale, Wicked Witch of the West, will have a minute of his time. If he’s accommodating now, my minute won’t happen unexpectedly in the middle of the night.

It's not a real place, or a place that you can stay for long; it's a somewhere-over-the-rainbow archetype but rooted in genuine emotions. No matter what Guests' care might be, when they step onto Main Street they enter an evocation of the ideal home town. This is, in a sense, the 'home' to which Dorothy Gale wanted to return. Main Street welcomes all Guests with warmth as comforting today as it was to the post-war society of the 1950's for which it was originally created.

Don’t you realize that you get missions that feel bigger than you because you’re bigger than you realize? You never stop. You care for the sake of caring. You want to fix Dorothy Gale and Oscar as much as you want to help the transportation problem. You are everything Saint Valentine needs in an agent. You’re motivated for the right reasons. You use your heart with your head. You know how to employ your resources. “This mission is a lot for one person, but you’re not alone, and you’re a master at leading.

Dorothy Gale
“
How had Dorothy felt the day after she'd come back from Oz?
Sure, she'd woken up that first morning in Kansas and said with a big smile, "There's no place like home!" But what about the next morning, and the next? Had she felt disoriented? Like some unseen woodworker had carved away pieces of her, glued on new ones, so that she no longer fit in her old, worn groove?
