Editing Pooh's Adventures of The Wizard of Oz/Transcript (section)

== Meet the Cowardly Lion/If I only have the Nerve ==
(Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Pooh Bear and friends walk deep into the forest. Piglet gets really scared.)

Dorothy Gale: I don't like this forest, it's dark and creepy.

Piglet: I agree with you, Dorothy. It's really scary.

Scarecrow: Of course, I don't know, but I think it'll get dark before it gets lighter.

Dorothy Gale:Do..do you suppose we'll meet any wild animals?

Tin Man: Mmm, we might.

Scarecrow: Animals that eat straw.

(Pooh Bear and his friends gulp fearfully.)

Pikachu: (scared) Pika.

Tin Man: Uh, some. But, mostly lions and tigers and bears.

Dorothy Gale: Lions?

Scarecrow: And, tigers?

Tin Man: And, bears?

Dorothy Gale: (gasps) Lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my.

Everyone: (continues walking) Lions and tigers and bears.

(Dorothy) Oh, my. Lions and tigers and bears. (Dorothy) Oh, my.  Lions and tigers and bears. (Dorothy) Oh my.

(Suddenly they hear a lion's roar and the heroes gasp while Pikachu's sparks sputter from his cheeks. The lion arrives growling angrily at them as Dorothy, Scarecrow, TIn Man and heroes hide.)

Cowardly Lion: Put em up! Put em up! Which one of you first? I'll fight you all together if you want! I'll fight you with one paw tied behind my back! I'll fight you standing on one foot! I'll fight you with my eyes closed! (to, Tin Man) Oh, pulling an axe on me, eh? (to Scarecrow) Sneaking up on me, eh? Why...(growling)

Tin Man: Here, here. Go away and let us alone.

Cowardly Lion; Oh, scared, huh? Afraid, huh? How long you stay fresh in that can? (chuckling) Come on, get up and fight, you shivering junk yard. (to Scarecrow) Put your hands up, you lopsided bag of hay.

Scarecrow: Now, that's getting personal, Lion.

Tin Man: Yes, get up and teach him a lesson?

Scarecrow: Well, what's wrong with you teaching him?

Tin Man: Well, I hardly know him.

(Toto barks at Lion.)

Lion: I'll get you anyway, pee-wee!

Dorothy Gale: No!

Ash: "hey come on! leave Pikachu and I alone!" 

(Lion growled at Toto. Dorothy picks up Toto and slaps Lion in defense which made him cry.)

Dorothy Gale: Shame on you!

Lion: What'd you do that for? I didn't bite them!

Ash Ketchum: Well, you tried to!

Misty: Yeah, serves you right for picking on Toto.

Dorothy Gale: Ash and Misty are right. It's bad enough picking on a straw man. But, when you go around picking on poor little dogs.

Pikachu: (angrily) Pika, Pikachu!

Cowardly Lion: Well, you didn't have to go and hit me, did ya? is my nose bleeding?

Dorothy Gale: Well, of course not. My goodness what a fuss you're making. Well, naturally when you go around picking on things weaker than you are. Why, you're nothing but a great big coward.

Cowardly Lion: You're right. I am a coward. I haven't had any courage at all. I even scare myself. Look at the circles under my eyes. I haven't slept in weeks.

(Pooh Bear and his friends immediately felt sorry for Lion.)

Pooh Bear: Why don't you try counting sheep? That always helps.

Cowardly Lion: That doesn't do any good. I'm afraid of them.

Rabbit: Oh, dear. Mercy me.

Piglet: Oh, dear. Mercy me, too.

Scarecrow: Aww, that's too bad.

Ash Ketchum: We seriously don't blame you for being scared.

Cowardly Lion: That's easy for you to say, kid. You and your friends are really brave.

Ash Ketchum: Well, not always but sometimes we're really afraid.

Brock: Yeah. whenever danger occurs we often get worried about what might happen.

Scarecrow: Don't you all think the wizard could help him too?

Dorothy Gale: I don't see why not. Why don't you come along with us?

Pooh Bear: Yes, we're on our way to see the wizard now.

Korra: He's going to give Tin Man a heart.

Mako: And Scarecrow a brain.

Dorothy Gale: I'm sure he can give you some courage.

Cowardly Lion: Well, wouldn't you all feel the greater to seen in the company of the cowardly lion? I would. (crying)

Dorothy Gale: No, of course not.

Jiminy Cricket: Most certainly not.

Cowardly Lion: Gee, that's awfully nice of you. My life has been simply unbearable.

Baloo: Buck up, Lion.

Dorothy Gale: Baloo's right. It's all right now.

Bagheera: I'm sure the wizard will fix everything.

Cowardly Lion: It's been in me so long. I just better tell you all how I feel.

Dorothy Gale: Well, come on.

'''Cowardly Lion''': (singing) Yeah, it's sad believe me missy when you're born to be a sissy without the vim and verve. But I could show prowess, be a lion not a mouse if I only had the nerve. I'm afraid there's no denyin'. I'm just a dandy lion, a fate I don't deserve. I'd be brave as a blizzard.

'''Tin Woodsman''': (singing) I'd be gentle as a lizard.

'''Scarecrow''': (singing) I'd be clever as a gizzard.

'''Dorothy''': (singing) If the wizard is a wizard who will serve.

'''Scarecrow''': (singing) Then I'm sure to get a brain.

'''Tin Woodsman''': (singing) A heart.

'''Dorothy''': (singing) A home.

'''Cowardly Lion''': (singing) The nerve.

'''Everyone:''' (singing together) Oh, we're off to see the Wizard. The wonderful Wizard of Oz. We hear he is a whiz of a wiz. If ever a wiz there was. If ever, oh ever a wiz there was. The Wizard of Oz is one because. Because, because, because. Because, because. Because of the wonderful things he does. We're off to see the Wizard. The wonderful Wizard of Oz.

(Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion, Toto and the heroes continue their journey to the Emerald City. But, soon the camera pans to witch's castle while she, the villains, and her flying monkey Nikko are spying on Dorothy, Toto, Scarecrow, Tin Man, Lion and the heroes on her crystal ball.)
