Frightened? You are talking to a man
who has laughed in the face of death...
1:52:05
...sneered at doom
and chuckled at catastrophe.
1:52:09
l was petrified.
1:52:10
Then suddenly the wind changed
and the balloon floated down...
1:52:14
...into the heart of this noble city
where l was instantly acclaimed Oz...
1:52:20
...the First Wizard Deluxe!
1:52:23
Times being what they were,
l accepted the job...
1:52:27
...retaining my balloon against the advent
of a quick getaway.
1:52:32
And in that balloon, my dear Dorothy,
you and l will return...
1:52:37
...to the land of ´"e pluri'bus unum´"!
1:52:57
This is positively the finest exhibition
ever to be shown.
1:53:03
Yes, well, be that as it may...
1:53:06
...l, your Wizard per ardua et alta...
1:53:10
...am about to embark upon a hazardous
and technically unexplainable journey...
1:53:17
...into the outer stratosphere!
1:53:25
To confer, converse and otherwise hobnob
with my brother wizards.
1:53:31
And l hereby decree that until what time...
1:53:36
...if any, that l return, the Scarecrow...
1:53:41
...by virtue of his highly superior brains,
shall rule in my stead...
1:53:47
...assisted by the Tin Man,
by virtue of his magnificent heart...
1:53:53
...and the Lion, by virtue of his courage!
1:53:58
Obey them as you would me.
