Yeah. You'd think that if they were going to delete a scene, they would
remove all references to it:
AUNT EM
I saw you tinkering with that contraption,
Hickory. Now, you and Hunk get back to that
wagon!
Of course the contraption was a cyclone buster:
HICKORY
Now look, here's something that really has
a heart. This is the best invention I ever
invented.
DOROTHY
This?
HICKORY
Sure. It's to break up winds, so we don't
have no more dust storms. Can you imagine
what it'll mean to this section of the
country? I'll show you. It works perfectly
now. Here's the principle. You see that fan
-- that sends up air currents into the sky.
These air currents -- Oh, stop it!
DOROTHY
Oh!
HICKORY
All right, Mrs. Gale. But some day they're
going to erect a statue to me in this town,
and --
And of course, the deleted Jitterbug scene, to which the Wicked Witch of the
West refers when she mentions the little _insect_:
WITCH
(laughs)
You'll believe in more than that before
I've finished with you. Take your army to
the Haunted Forest, and bring me that girl
and her dog! Do what you like with the
others, but I want her alive and unharmed!
They'll give you no trouble, I promise you
that. I've sent a little insect on ahead
to take the fight out of them. Take special
care of those ruby slippers. I want those
most of all. Now, fly! Fly! Bring me that
girl and her slippers! Fly! Fly! Fly!
