EXT. WOODS - DAY

TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW & WOOT walk along a stream.

2_04_02
WOOT jumps from rock to rock in the middle of the stream. SCARECROW is behind and tries to walk on the rocks on the stream side but loose foot and splashes water. TIN WOODMAN is the farthest away and walks with great care holding onto everything making sure he doesn't touch the water in any way. 

2_04_03
WOOT and TIN WOODMAN walk on the side of the stream together. SCARECROW stays behind, stopped for a while, cleaning up his straws, restuffing himself.

2_04_04
WOOT and then TIN WOODMAN are passing SCARECROW who is preoccupied by something about his boot.

2_04_04a
SCARECROW shakes his boot and is woried. Looks for some place to sit.

2_04_05
SCARECROW is sitting on a rock putting back his boot and straighten his back hands pushing on knees looking in front of him.

SCARECROW (exuberant)
      Boy, am I glad that's over!

SCARECROW gets up

2_04_06
SCARECROW walks enthusiastically on the stream side.

SCARECROW
Makes me feel kind of... 

2_04_07
SCARECROW gesticulates and do a broad dance step

SCARECROW
      Loony. Heh-he.

2_04_08
TIN WOODMAN (surprised)
      Eh?

2_04_09
TIN WOODMAN & WOOT turn around to look at Scarecrow (OS), perplexed.

2_04_10
SCARECROW smiles towards Tin Woodman and Woot smiles at them, does another dance step, jumps into an arabesque and lands right in front of them with arms wide open looking at them, smiling head tilted.

TIN WOODMAN and WOOT watch him, surprised and amused.

WOOT
      What... What's he doing?

TIN WOODMAN (sighs)
      I think his straw is getting moist.

2_04_11
Scarecrow, stands, arms wide, smiling in front of TIN WOODMAN and WOOT.. 

2_04_12
SCARECROW dances around TIN WOODMAN & WOOT.

SCARECROW
      What sound is so sweet as the straw from the wheat when it crinkles so tender…
 
WOOT & TIN WOODMAN follow SCARECROW.

2_04_13
SCARECROW
      And low.

SCARECROW jumps one step toward TIN WOODMAN & WOOT, flexing his arms to make them crinkle.

2_04_14
SCARECROW is doing four backward dance steps.

SCARECROW
      It is yellow and bright so it gives me delight…

2_04_15
SCARECROW does a half back-left turn, two step forward.

SCARECROW
      To crinkle wherever I go.

SCARECROW stops dancing, turns and jumps on a rock facing TIN WOODMAN and WOOT.

2_04_16
SCARECROW bends down and picks a straw of wheat from a clump of wheat growing high at the foot of the rock and holds it above his head.

SCARECROW
      Sweet, fresh, golden straw, there is surely no flaw.

2_04_17
SCARECROW jumps.

SCARECROW
      In a stuffing so clean and compact.

2_04_18
TIN WOODMAN & WOOT move forward. SCARECROW sings and dances a few feet before them. He walks rhythmic lo-o-ong slow steps to make himself crinkle louder.

SCARECROW
      It creaks when I walk and it...

2_04_19
SCARECROW still walking rhythmic long slow steps and now widens his arms as if he was giving a speach in front of an audience.

SCARECROW
      Thrills when I talk and its fragrance is...

2_04_20
TIN WOODMAN & WOOT look at each other, amused by Scarecrow's show.

TIN WOODMAN
      He's losing his mind.

SCARECROW
     Fine for a fact...

2_04_21
SCARECROW looks down for a while, thoughtfull and preoccupied. WOOT and TIN WOODMAN in the background look at SCARECROW, concerned.

SCARECROW
      I know it's been said that my beautiful head...

2_04_22
SCARECROW
      Has brains of mixed wheat-straw and bran...

2_04_23
SCARECROW resumes trotting and dancing forward.

SCARECROW
      But my thoughts are so good, I'd not change if I could... 

2_04_24
FAT SCARECROW, THIN SCARECROW & LADY SCARECROW come from the garden to join SCARECROW.

SCARECROW
      For the brains of a common meat man.

2_04_25
SCARECROW, FAT SCARECROW, THIN SCARECROW & LADY SCARECROW synchronize their dancing.

SCARECROW
      To cut me don't hurt for I've no blood to squirt and I therefore can suffer...

2_04_26
SCARECROW turns around facing LADY SCARECROW and makes a gesture that invites her for a dance.

SCARECROW
      No pain.

2_04_27
SCARECROW, FAT SCARECROW, THIN SCARECROW & LADY SCARECROW line dance.

SCARECROW
      The straw that I use doesn't lump up or bruise though it's pounded again and again.

2_04_28
SCARECROW
      Though it's pounded again and again.

2_04_29
SCARECROW leaves FAT SCARECROW, THIN SCARECROW & LADY SCARECROW with a spin turn.

SCARECROW
     Content with my lot...

2_04_30
SCARECROW completes two steps and a spin turn.

SCARECROW
      I glad that I'm not...

2_04_31
SCARECROW does a spin turn, two running steps and a spinning summersault.

SCARECROW
      Like others I meet day by day.

2_04_32
SCARECROW jumps from rock to rock.

SCARECROW
      If my inside gets musty...

2_04_33
SCARECROW jumps from rock to upper rock.

SCARECROW
      Or mussed-up or dusty...

2_04_34
SCARECROW jumps on top of the mound, stays there, contemplative for a moment.

SCARECROW
      I get newly stuffed right away...

2_04_35
SCARECROW exits from his comtemplative state and looks down, searching for Woot and Tin Woodman who have been walkin.

2_04_36
SCARECROW jumps down the mound to join WOOT and TIN WOODMAN.  WOOT and TIN WOODMAN clap. 

2_04_37
TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW & WOOT walk away next to the stream.

TIN WOODMAN 
      What a performer.  

TIN WOODMAN winks at WOOT.

WOOT
      He certainly gives it his all.

TIN WOODMAN
      Wonderful.
