The Wiz Quotes in The Wiz (1978)

The Wiz: Dorothy...

[pause]

The Wiz: Can you do something for me?

Dorothy: They've had what they've been searching for in them all along. I don't what's in you. You'll have to find that out for yourself. But I do know one thing: you'll never find it in the safety of this room. I tried that all my life. It doesn't work. There's a whole world out there. And you'll have to begin by letting people see who you really are.

Dorothy: You mean, you sent us to kill Evillene, knowing we might never come back?

The Wiz: She would have killed me, she would have found out I had no power, and took over Oz.

Dorothy: That's no excuse.

Scarecrow: [after finding out the Wiz is actually is politian from New Jersey, quotes] 'Public office is the last refuge of the incompetent' - Penrose!

The Wiz: [laughs hysterically] Incompetent! That's me!
