2_04_01 EXT. WOODS - DAY
SCARECROW is exuberant.
SCARECROW Boy, am I glad that's over! Makes me feel kind of... Loony. Heh-he.
2_04_02 TIN WOODMAN
Eh?
2_04_03 TIN WOODMAN, SCARECROW, and WOOT wind their way through woods, past a small villa. They hop from rock to rock across a stream.
SCARECROW leaps into the air.
SCARECROW (singing) 044 What sound is so sweet/As the straw from the wheat/When it crinkles so tender and low?
2_04_04a SCARECROW and RABBIT jump from stone to stone, having a wonderful time.
SCARECROW 044 It is yellow and bright/So it gives me delight/To crinkle wherever I go.
2_04_05 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_06 SCARECROW 44-01 Sweet, fresh, golden straw!/There is surely no flaw/In a stuffing so clean and compact.
2_04_07 SCARECROW grabs onto a tree branch to prevent falling over a waterfall.
SCARECROW
It creaks when I walk/And it thrills when I talk
2_04_08 SCARECROW swings from the branch across the stream.
SCARECROW
And its fragrance is fine,
2_04_09 RABBIT hangs from SCARECROW'S foot during these antics.
SCARECROW
For a fact.
2_04_10 SCARECROW dances and cavorts, accompanied by RABBIT.
SCARECROW 044-02 To cut me don’t hurt/For I’ve no blood to squirt
2_04_10a SCARECROW continues dancing, throwing RABBIT into the air.
SCARECROW 044-02 And I therefore can suffer no pain/The straw that I use/
2_04_11 RABBIT lands.
SCARECROW (OS)
Doesn’t lump up or bruise.
2_04_12 SCARECROW jumps into a stand of tall grass.
SCARECROW 044-03 Though it’s pounded again and again!
2_04_13 TIN WOODMAN and WOOT watch.
SCARECROW
Though it's pounded again and again!
2_04_14 SCARECROW peers out of the grass.
SCARECROW 044-04 I know it is said/That my beautiful head
2_04_15 SCARECROW and RABBIT dance in a circle.
SCARECROW
Has brains of mixed wheat-straw and bran
2_04_16 SCARECROW reaches down, smiling, to pick up RABBIT.
SCARECROW
But my thoughts are so good
2_04_17 RABBIT hops across SCARECROW⿿S outstretched arms.
SCARECROW
I’d not change, if I could/
2_04_18 TIN WOODMAN watches, concerned.
TIN WOODMAN
He's losing his mind.
2_04_19 SCARECROW precariously balancing on a stack of boulders.
SCARECROW
For the brains of a
2_04_19a SCARECROW and RABBIT balancing on top boulder.
SCARECROW
common meat man.
2_04_20 SCARECROW jumps off of boulder stack, frightening RABBIT.
SCARECROW 044-05 Content with my lot.
2_04_21 SCARECROW lands gracefully but RABBIT is scared.
SCARECROW 044-05 I'm glad that I⿿m not.
2_04_22 TIN WOODMAN and WOOT watch as SCARECROW balances on single boulder. RABBIT barely keeps his balance on SCARECROW⿿S shoulder.
SCARECROW
Like others I meet day-by-day.
2_04_23 The first chance he gets, RABBIT jumps from SCARECROWS shoulder.
SCARECOW (OS) 044-05 If my insides get musty
2_04_24 RABBIT calmly sits on TIN WOODMAN⿿S watching, chagrined.
SCARECROW (OS) 044-05 Or mussed-up, or dusty
2_04_25 CU: SCARECROW rolls the boulder he is standing on with his feet.
SCARECROW 044-05 I get newly stuffed
2_04_26 The boulder SCARECROW is rolling bumps into a bigger boulder, causing it to fly off a cliff and bounce away.
SCARECROW 044-05 right away!
2_04_27 SCARECROW, with RABBIT between his legs, bows to the sound of applause.
2_04_28 WOOT and TIN WOODMAN clap.
2_04_29 SCARECROW looks a bit pleased with himself, does another fancy dance step and ends up in a boneless heap.
TIN WOODMAN (OS)
What a performer.
2_04_30 TIN WOODMAN winks at WOOT.
WOOT
He certainly gives it his all.
TIN WOODMAN
Wonderful.
