• Oz : You can have a nice pile of bananas!

  Finley : Oh, I see. Because I'm a monkey, I must love bananas, right? That is a vicious stereotype!

  Oz : You don't like bananas?

  Finley : Of course I love bananas, I'm a monkey! Don't be ridiculous! I just don't like YOU saying it.

• [Oz and Glinda are in bubbles flying towards a giant protective bubble wall around a city] 

  Oz : Does this thing have any brakes? I'm going too fast! I'm gonna die!

  Glinda : You needn't worry, Wizard. It's a magic wall. And all good-hearted souls get to pass through.

  Oz : [Panicking]  I'm gonna die!

• Glinda : For the record, I knew you had it in you all along.

  Oz : Greatness?

  Glinda : No. Better than that. Goodness.

• Oz : I'm afraid I can't give you what I know you want most of all. All I can offer you is this: us. I know it's not the family that you had in mind, but...

  China Girl : It's perfect. Thank you, Oz.

• [Oz has realized that he can pass off his stage magic as the real thing to defeat Evanora and Theodora] 

  Oz : Look, I know I'm not the wizard that you expected. But I might just be the wizard that you need.

  Glinda : You said you were just a con man.

  Oz : Precisely!

  Glinda : Nothing but a trickster?

  Oz : Yes!

  Glinda : A terrible cheat!

  Oz : The best there is.

  Glinda : A carnival magician's going to put on a show.

  Oz : I'll put on the show of a lifetime! The likes of which the land of Oz has never seen! Magic! Mystery! Prestidigitation! It'll be my greatest trick yet.

• Oz : Am I dreaming?

  Theodora : You're in Oz.

  Oz : Oz? But that's my name. Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambroise Diggs.

  Oz : [to Theodora]  Where's your broom?

  Theodora : You don't know much about witches, do you?

• Oz : I don't want to be a good man... I want to be a great one.

• Oz : I'm your wizard.

  [big smile and a wink] 

• Oz : [whispers to Glinda]  I might not actually be a wizard...

  Glinda : Yes, but they don't know that.

• Oz : You stood by me when other monkeys would have flown away.

• Oz : Frank, the sock is on the door!... Knock!

• Glinda : A con man couldn't have done all this. You're much more than that.

  Oz : Well then, it looks like I've got you fooled, too.

  Glinda : The only person you've got fooled is yourself.

• [from trailer] 

  Oz : How hard can it be to kill a Wicked Witch?

• Oz : Now, it's time for gifts!

  [Knuck starts blowing his trumpet] 

  Master Tinker : Knuck, not now!

• Oz : [sucked into a tornado]  Please, I don't want to die! I haven't accomplished anything yet!

• Oz : Theodora, I know your wickedness is not your doing! And should you ever find the goodness within you, you are welcome to return!

  Theodora : NEVER!

• Oz : Let's Go Make Some Magic!

• [from trailer] 

  Oz : It's like no place I've ever seen.

• Annie : I need to tell you something, Oscar.

  Oz : That's never a good start to a conversation.

  Annie : John Gale asked me to marry him. That's why I've come. I thought you should know.

  Oz : I think that's wonderful, Annie.

  Annie : I said I had to think about it.

  Oz : Men love that answer.

  Annie : I wondered what you thought I should do.

  Oz : You could do a lot worse than John Gale. He's a good man.

  Annie : So are you.

  Oz : No. I'm not. I'm many things, but a good man is not one of them.

  Annie : But you could be. If you wanted to.

  Oz : That's just it. I don't want to. See, Kansas is full of good men. Church-going men that get married and raise families. Men like John Gale. Men like my father... who spent his whole life tilling the dirt... just to die face down in it. I don't want that, Annie. I don't want to be a good man, I want to be a great one. I want to be... Harry Houdini and Thomas Edison all rolled into one.

  Annie : That's all I ever wanted for you, you know. Greatness.

  Oz : Then you understand.

  Annie : I do.

• Oz : [drawing on the ground]  Here's the plan. The wicked witch is the triangle. Monkey, you're the X. I'm the O. China Girl, you're the squiggly line.

  China Girl : I wanna be a heart. Can I be a heart?

  Oz : Fine, fine. You're a heart. Now, heart stays here. As O makes his way over here, X counters thusly. Clear so far?

  [Finley sneezes] 

  China Girl : Bless you.

  Oz : Good work. You just sneezed away the plan.
