How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Wizard of Oz.
Quote #1
AUNTIE EM: Here, here, can't work on an empty stomach. Have some crullers.
Auntie Em is certainly cold, but she's not heartless. This little snippet of dialogue early on, delivered just after she's chewed the farmhands out, is our first sign that she's really a decent sort… someone worth fighting through Wicked Witches to get home to. And crullers, yum.
Quote #2
DOROTHY: I once had the measles. She sat by me the whole time.
We never see the good things that Aunt Em does for Dorothy, and indeed Dorothy seems to have forgotten it amid the whole "we're going to let your dog get dragged off to die" unpleasantness. Her revelation here reminds her that Auntie Em is really a pretty good family member, and prompts her initial, aborted return home.
