SEQUENCE 2_06 - "THE FIGHT"

2_06_01 EXT. MUNCHKIN COUNTY WOODS - DAY

TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT walk along a path through the colorful countryside.

TIN WOODMAN sighs.

2_06_02 TIN WOODMAN 084 I was born in this grand forest.

2_06_03 Pan through the forest trees.

SCARECROW (OS) 084-01 It must feel wonderful to come back home.

2_06_04 TIN WOODMAN 084-02 It was here the Witch enchanted my axe…

SCARECROW and WOOT anxiously peer around TIN WOODMAN.

2_06_05 CU: TIN WOODMAN

TIN WOODMAN 084-03 Here, too, was Nimmie Amee's home…

2_06_06 TIN WOODMAN peers into the distance.

TIN WOODMAN 084-04 At the other edge of the forest stands the workshop of my friend…

2_06_07 Distance shot of TIN WOODMAN.

TIN WOODMAN

     Ku-Klip.  The cleverest tinsmith.

2_06_08 SCARECROW 088 Mmm. Well, if you wish to meet with real cleverness, you should visit the Munchkin farmer who first made me.

2_06_09 SCARECROW

      You’re not bad... 

2_06_10 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT walk through the arched roots of a giant tree.

SCARECROW 088-01 but any judge of beauty can see that a scarecrow’s far more

2_06_12 SCARECROW bows.

SCARECROW

     artistic and refined.

2_06_13 TIN WOODMAN (irritated)

    Refined?

2_06_14 TIN WOODMAN looks offended, then pokes SCARECROW in the chest.

TIN WOODMAN 089 Hah! Anyone can see that you’re far too soft and flimsy.

2_06_15 SCARECROW 090 Oh, is that so?

2_06_16 TIN WOOMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT continue walking.

SCARECROW

     Well… the same anyone can see that you’re… eh…

2_06_17 SCARECROW taps on TIN WOODMAN'S chest.

SCARECROW

     far too hard and

2_06_18 SCARECROW

     stiff.

2_06_19 TIN WOODMAN (snarling)

     Don't be tapping me.

TIN WOODMAN pushes SCARECROW.

2_06_20 WOOT holds TIN WOODMAN and SCARECROW apart.

SCARECROW

     Don't push me.  Oh, yeah!

2_06_21 SCARECROW winds up a haymaker.

SCARECROW dances around in a circle boxing the air.

SCARECROW circles around TIN WOODMAN, still making threatening gestures.

2_06_22 WOOT looks on, surprised, then disgusted.

2_06_23 TIN WOODMAN'S expression changes from surprise to annoyed.

2_06_24 SCARECROW takes a big swing, misses grandly, and twists, falling into TIN WOODMAN'S arms. SCARECROW smiles, embarrassed.

SCARECROW

     I may have thrown my back out.

2_06_24a TIN WOODMAN

     That's ridiculous!  You're made of mush.

2_06_25 SCARECROW stands back, annoyed.

SCARECROW

     Is that so?

2_06_25a TIN WOODMAN and SCARECROW both look to WOOT for his opinion.

2_06_26 WOOT 090-1 Don't look at me...

2_06_27 WOOT

    I should have left you both with the loons.

2_06_28 TIN WOODMAN and SCARECROW bump hips.

SCARECROW (childishly)

     You watch it.

TIN WOODMAN (childishly)

     You watch it.

2_06_29 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT continue down the path.

SCARECROW

     Too hard.

TINWOODMAN

     You're too soft.

SCARECROW

     Too shiny.

TINWOODMAN

     Too dull.

SCARECROW

     You're too tall!

2_06_30 Forrest animals watch the travelers pass.

TIN WOODMAN (OS)

     You smell like mildew.

SCARECROW (OS)

     How do you think you smell in that suit?

TIN WOODMAN (OS)

     I don't fall apart at the first rain.

SCARECROW (OS)

     At least I don't squeak while I'm blinking.

WOOT

     Will you two stop it!

There is a hesitation for a moment, then...

SCARECROW (whispering)

     Too hard!

TIN WOODMAN (whispering)

     Too soft!
