1_03_24 TIN WOODMAN

    So tell me young Woot, what grand wonders have you encountered in your many travels?

TIN WOODMAN (OS)

   Well

1_03_32 TIN WOODMAN

1_03_33 WOOT

   No, Sire… In fact, the more I know, the less I realize that I know.

   Ah, yes. Well, if it’s any help… I’ve found that… learning is easy, young Woot. Begin with is asking questions.

1_03_35 WOOT

   Oh, I do ask questions! Constantly, Sire! 

1_03_36 TIN WOODMAN stands listening.

WOOT (OS)

   I’ve learned people don't like having them asked.

TIN WOODMAN waves dismissively, then does a handstand on his axe.

TIN WOODMAN

   Personally, I make it a rule to answer any civil question that is asked.

1_03_37 SCARECROW, seeing the virtuoso juggling exhibition, applauds vigorously.

SCARECROW

    Oh, well, done.  Very nice indeed.

1_03_38 With a flourish, TIN WOODMAN dismounts then leans on his axe.

    how did you become made of tin? 

1_03_41a WOOT

1_03_41b TIN WOODMAN

WOOT

TIN WOODMAN

   Well, then… I have not always been made of tin.

1_03_45 WOOT’s surprised. He shakes his head, settles in, his hands support his chin as he listens.
