Episode 59d. The Wizard of the Magical Kingdom! (Part 4)

When Deema's nasty sister, Olivia, tries to have Bubble Puppy put to sleep, Gil takes Bubble Puppy to run away. A cyclone appears and carries him to the magical land of a kingdom. Wishing to return, he begins to travel to the Emerald Palace where a great wizard lives. On his way he meets a Scarecrow who needs a brain, a Tin Man who wants a heart, and a Cowardly Lion who desperately needs courage. They all hope the Wizard of the Magical Kingdom will help them, before the Wicked Witch of the West catches up with them.

 * This film is very similiar to the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz.
 * This is the second Bubble Guppies feature-length film.
 * This is the fourth time Gil cries 4 times. These parts are similiar when Dorothy was crying about Miss Gulch taking Toto away, when the Guard tells her and her friends that the Wizard said "Go away!", when she was locked up in the Witch's castle and when she said goodbye to her friends.
 * This is the first time Deema has played a villain and she sounds like it.
 * This is the second time Gil gathered up everyone in a sketch and everyone said "It's time for Bubble Guppies!" instead of either Molly or Gil.

Rocky Cliff -

(Bubble Puppy swims down the rocky cliff.)

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf!

Haunted Forest -

(Bubble Puppy swims in the Haunted Forest. Goby and Nonny are putting straw in Molly. Bubble Puppy swims to Molly, Goby and Nonny.)

Goby: Look! There's Bubble Puppy. Where'd he come from?

Molly: Why, don't you see? He's come to take us to Gil. Come on, fellas!

(Molly, Goby and Nonny swim out of the Haunted Forest.)

Rocky Cliff -

(Molly, Goby and Nonny climb up the rocky cliff. Bubble Puppy leads the way. Molly and Goby are hanging on to Nonny's tail. They almost fall off.)

Nonny: I hope my strength holds out.

Goby: I hope your tail holds out.

Castle Courtyard -

(Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy climb up to the top of the cliff and they see the Witch's Castle.)

Nonny: What's that? What's that?

Molly: That's the castle of the Wicked Witch. Gilly's in that awful place?

(Goby starts crying.)

Goby: *crying* I hate to think of him in there. We've got to get him out.

Molly: Don't cry now. We haven't got the oilcan, and you've been squeaking enough as it is.

Nonny: Who's them? Who's them?

(Some lobster guards march around in front of the drawbridge singing.)

Lobster Guards: *chanting and singing*

Molly: I've got a plan how to get in there.

Nonny: Fine. She's got a plan.

Molly: And you're gonna lead us.

Nonny: Yeah. Me?

Molly: Yeah, you.

Nonny: I gotta get him out of there?

Molly: That's right.

Nonny: All right, I'll go in there for Gil. Wicked Witch or no Wicked Witch... guards or no guards, I'll tear them apart. I may not come out alive, but I'm going in there. There's only one thing I want you to do.

Molly and Goby: What's that?

Nonny: Talk me out of it.

(Nonny is about to swim away but Molly and Goby grab him.)

Molly: No, you don't!

Goby: Oh, no.

Nonny: Now,wait a minute.

Molly: Up!

The Witch's Castle -

(The sand runs down the hour glass. Gil is sitting on the steps near the crystal still crying.)

Gil: *crying*

Castle Courtyard -

(Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim down the cliff near the courtyard. They watch the lobster guards marching.)

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf!

Molly, Goby and Nonny: Shh!

(Three lobster guards sit on the top of the cliff while Molly, Goby and Nonny whisper to each other. Nonny notices them.)

Nonny: *whimpering*

Molly: Shh! Shh!

(The lobster guards jump up at Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy.)

Molly, Goby and Nonny: *screaming*

Bubble Puppy: *whimpering*

(Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy come out. They're all dressed in the three lobster guard's uniform except Bubble Puppy.)

Lobster Guards: *singing*

Molly: Come on, I've got another idea.

Nonny: Do you think it would be polite, dropping in like this?

(The lobster guards march in. Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim out of the cliff and they pretend to be the guards. They all march in the castle. The drawbridge rises up.)

The Witch's Castle -

(The lobster guards march. Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy hide in an archway.)

Goby: Where do we go now?

Nonny: Yeah.

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf! Arf!

(Bubble Puppy is standing on some steps.)

Molly: There!

(Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim up the steps. They swim to the door where Gil is locked up.)

Molly: Wait! We better make sure. Gil, are you in there?

Nonny: It's us!

(Gil swims to the door in the tower room.)

Gil: Yeah! It's me! She's locked me in!

Nonny: We gotta get him out! Open the door!

Gil: Oh, hurry! Please hurry! The hourglass is almost empty!

Goby: Stand back!

(Goby gets his axe out and chops the door. Gil stands back and watches Goby chopping the door. He looks at the hourglass. The hourglass has almost ran out. Goby chops the door one more time and the door opens. Gil swims out.)

Gil: Oh, Bubble Puppy! Good boy! Oh, Lion! I knew you'd come! I knew you would!

(Gil hugs Nonny, Goby and Bubble Puppy.)

Molly: Hurry, we've got no time to lose!

(Goby, Gil, Bubble Puppy, Nonny and Molly quickly swim down the steps and to the doors. The doors close. Deema and the Boss of the Flying Crabs watch from the balcony. Deema is holding the hourglass.)

Deema: *cackles* Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why, my little party's just beginning.

Nonny: Trapped. Trapped like mice... rats.

(The Lobster Guards run to Molly, Goby, Gil, Bubble Puppy and Nonny.)

Lobster Guards: *growling*

Bubble Puppy: Arf! *growling*

Deema: That's right. Don't hurt them right away. We'll let them think about it a little first. *cackling*

(Molly looks up and sees a chandelier and a rope by her on the wall. Deema throws the hourglass off the balcony. The hourglass breaks into smoke. Molly grabs Goby's arm and Goby chops up the rope. The chandelier falls on the Guards. Molly, Gil, Bubble Puppy, Goby and Nonny swim away.)

Deema: Seize them! Seize them! Stop them, you fools! Seize them! Seize them!

(Deema and the Lobster Guards chase them. Molly, Gil, Bubble Puppy, Goby and Nonny hide from them and quickly swim up the steps.)

Deema: There they go! Now we've got them! Half of you go this way, half of you go that way. Hurry! Hurry!

The Castle Parapet -

(The group swim into a little room.)

Nonny: Where do we go now?

Molly: This way. Come on!

(They swim out of the room and to another room but the Lobster Guards run out of the room.)

Gil: *screaming*

Molly: Back! Back!

(They swim to the little room again but the Lobster Guards come close to them. The other Lobster Guards run in the other side.)

Molly, Gil, Goby and Nonny: *screaming*

Bubble Puppy: *whimpering*

(Deema and the Leader of the Flying Crabs swim in.)

Deema: Well! Ring around the rosie, a pocket full of spears! Thought you'd be pretty foxy, didn't you? The last to go will see the first three go before him. And his mangy little puppy too!

(Deema looks up at a fire lamp. She gets her broomstick and the fire goes on the straw of the broomstick.)

Deema: How about a little fire, Scarecrow?

(Deema puts the fire on Molly's arm.)

Molly: No! No! No! Help! I'm burning! I'm burning! It's burning! Help!

(Gil finds a bucket of water and holds it.)

Deema: Don't throw that water!

(Gil throws the water. The water puts out the fire on Molly's arm but some of the water lands on Deema's face.)

Deema: *screaming* You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting!

(Deema starts to melt.)

Deema: Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would've thought a good little boy like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness? Look out! Look out! I'm going. *groaning*

(Deema has melted and has disappeared. She is dead. All that is left is her bikini. Bubble Puppy sniffs the bikini. The Leader of the Flying Crabs checks to see if Deema is still there but she wasn't. He claps for joy.)

Leader Lobster Guard: She's dead. You've killed her.

Gil: I didn't mean to kill her. Really, I didn't. It's just that she was on fire.

Leader Lobster Guard: Hail to Gil! The Wicked Witch is dead!

(The Lobster Guards and the Leader all hail to Gil.)

Lobster Guards: Hail! Hail to Gil! The Wicked Witch is dead!

Gil: The broom. May we have it?

Leader Lobster Guard: Please. And take it with you.

(Gil takes the broom.)

Gil: Oh, thank you so much! Now we can go tell the Wizard the Wicked Witch is dead!

Lobster Guards: The Wicked Witch is dead!

Throne Room -

Mr. Grumpfish: Can I believe my eyes? Why have you come back?

(Gil takes the broom from Molly and swims to the throne.)

Gil: Please, sir. We've done what you told us. We've brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her.

(Gil puts the broom down.)

Mr. Grumpfish: Ah, you liquidated her, eh? Very resourceful.

Gil: Yeah, sir. So we'd like you to keep your promise to us, if you please, sir.

Mr. Grumpfish: Not so fast. Not so fast! I'll have to give the matter a little thought. Go away and come back tommorow.

Gil: Tommorow? Oh, but I wanna go home now!

(Molly, Goby and Nonny swim to the throne.)

Goby: You've had plenty of time already.

Nonny: Yeah.

Mr. Grumpfish: Do not arouse the wrath of the great and powerful Magical Kingdom!

(Bubble Puppy swims to a curtain.)

Mr. Grumpfish: I said come back tommorow!

Gil: If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises.

Mr. Grumpfish: Do you presume to criticize the great Magical Kingdom?

(Bubble Puppy opens the curtain with his mouth and a goldfish (Mr. Grouper) is recording the voice.)

Mr. Grumpfish: You ungrateful creatures!

(The group start to look at Mr. Grouper.)

Mr. Grumpfish: Think yourselves lucky that I'm giving you audience tommorow instead of 20 years from now!

Wizard (Mr. Grouper): Oh!

(Mr. Grouper notices the group and starts to record the voice again.)

Mr. Grumpfish: The great Magical Kingdom has spoken!

(Mr. Grouper looks at the group and quickly drawns the curtain. He records the voice again.)

Mr. Grouper: Oh!

Mr. Grumpfish: Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

(Gil swims to the curtain.)

Mr. Grumpfish: The great and - Magical Kingdom has spoken.

(Gil opens the curtain.)

Gil: Who are you?

(Mr. Grouper records the voice again but then turns it off.)

Mr. Grumpfish: I am the great and powerful...

Mr. Grouper: Wizard of the Magical Kingdom.

Gil: You are? I don't believe you.

(Molly, Goby and Nonny swim to Gil.)

Mr. Grouper: I'm afraid it's true. There's no other Wizard except me.

Molly: You humbug!

Nonny: Yeah.

Mr. Grumpfish: Yeah, that's exactly so. I'm a humbug.

Gil: You're a very bad man!

Mr. Grumpfish: Oh, no, my dear. I'm a very good man. I'm just a very bad Wizard.

Molly: What about the heart you promised Tin Man? And the courage you promised Cowardly Lion?

Goby and Nonny: And Scarecrow's brain?

(Mr. Grouper swims to Molly.)

Mr. Grouper: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities seats of great learning, where women and girl guppies go to become great thinkers. They think deep thoughts, and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got. A diploma.

(Mr. Grouper gets out a black bag. He looks in it and gets out a diploma. He hands the diploma to Molly.)

Mr. Grouper: Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universitatus Committeeatum E Pluribus Unum, I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of TH.D.

Molly: TH.D.?

Mr. Grouper: That's Doctor of Thinkology.

Molly: The sum of the square roots of two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh, joy! Rapture! I've got a brain! How can I thank you enough?

Mr. Grouper: Well, you can't.

(Mr. Grouper swims with Nonny.)

Mr. Grouper: As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the delusion that because you run away from danger you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom. Back where I come from, we have men and boy guppies who are called "heroes."

(Mr. Grouper opens a cupboard and looks in his black bag.)

Mr. Grouper: Once a year, they take their fortitude out of mothballs and parade it down the main street. And they have no more courage than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got. A medal.

(Mr. Grouper gets out a medal from the black bag.)

Mr. Grouper: Therefore, for meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, conspicuous bravery against wicked witches, I award you the Triple Cross.

(Mr. Grouper puts the medal on Nonny.)

Mr. Grouper: You are now a member of the Legion of Courage.

(Mr. Grouper hugs Nonny and congratulates him. Nonny is smiling.)

Nonny: Shucks, folks, I'm speechless.

(Mr. Grouper talks to Goby.)

Mr. Grouper: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

Goby: But I still want one.

Mr. Grouper: Back where I come from, there are men and boy guppies who do nothing all day but good deeds. They are called phil... You know... good-deed-dours. And their hearts are no bigger than yours. But they have one thing you haven't got. A testimonial.

(Mr. Grouper gets out a small heart token from his black bag.)

Mr. Grouper: Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this time in presenting you with a small token of our esteem and affection.

(Mr. Grouper hands the heart token to Goby.)

Mr. Grouper: And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

Goby: Ah.

(Goby listens to the heart token. It ticks.)

Goby: Oh! It ticks!

(Goby passes the heart token to Gil, Molly and Nonny for them to listen.)

Goby: Listen! Look, it ticks!

Nonny: Read what my medal says. "Courage." Ain't it the truth! Ain't it the truth!

(Molly, Goby and Nonny are very pleased with their awards what they always wanted.)

Gil: Oh, they're all wonderful.

Molly: Hey, what about Gilly?

Goby: Yeah, how about Gil?

Nonny: Yeah. Gil next.

Gil: I don't think there's anything in that black bag for me.

Mr. Grouper: You force me into a cataclysmic decision. The only way to get Gil back to Bubbletucky is for me to take him there myself.

(Gil is amazed and shocked.)

Gil: *gasps* Oh, will you? Could you? Oh! But are you clever enough to manage it?

Mr. Grouper: Child, you cut me to the quick! I'm an old Bubbletucky man myself, born and bred in the western wilderness, premier balloonist par excellence to the Miracle Wonderland Carnival Company. Until one day, while performing feats of stratsopheric skill, never before attempted by civilized man, an unfortunate phenomena occured. The balloon failed to return to the fair.

Nonny: It did?

Gil: Weren't you frightened?

(Mr. Grouper, Gil, Molly, Goby, Nonny and Bubble Puppy swim to the door.)

Mr. Grouper: You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe. I was petrified. Suddenly the wind changed, and the balloon floated down into this noble palace, where I was instantly acclaimed the Magical Kingdom, the first wizard deluxe! Times being what they are, I accepted the job, retaining my balloon against the advent of a quick getaway. And in that balloon, dear Gil, you and I will return to the land of E Pluribus Unum.

(Mr. Grouper, Gil, Bubble Puppy, Molly, Goby and Nonny swim through the door.)

Emerald Palace -

(All of the crabs and lobsters are gathered around while Mr. Grouper makes an announcement in a balloon. Gil and Bubble Puppy are in the balloon. Molly, Goby and Nonny are standing beside the balloon.)

Mr. Grouper: My friends. I mean, my friends!

Crabs and Lobsters: *cheering*

Mr. Grouper: This is positively the finest exhibition over to be shown, be that as it may, I, your Wizard per ardua ad alta, am about to embark upon a hazardous, and technically unexplainable journey, into the outer stratsophere!

Crabs and Lobsters: *cheering*

Mr. Grouper: To confer, converse, and otherwise hobnob with my brother wizards. And I hereby decree that until what time, if any, that I return, the Scarecrow, by virtue of her highly superior brains, shall rule in my stead, assisted by the Tin Man, by virtue of his magnificent heart, and the Lion, by virtue of his courage. Obey them as you would me. Thank you.

Bubble Puppy: *barking and growling*

(One of the lobsters is holding a cat.)

Cat: *meowing*

(Bubble Puppy jumps out of the balloon and swims off.)

Gil: Oh, Bubble Puppy! Come back, boy!

(Gil jumps out of the balloon.)

Gil: Don't go without me. I'll be right back.

(Gil swims off. Molly and Nonny follow him.)

Goby: Stop that puppy!

Mr. Grouper: This is a highly irregular procedure. This is absolutely unprecedented!

(The ropes start to go up. The balloon is going up.)

Mr. Grouper: Ruined my exit!

(Molly helps Goby grabbing the rope. Gil, Nonny and Bubble Puppy quickly swim back.)

Gil: Come back! Come back! Don't go without me! Please come back!

Mr. Grouper: I can't come back! I don't know how it works! Goodbye, folks!

Crabs and Lobsters: Goodbye!

(The balloon floats away with Mr. Grouper waving goodbye. Gil starts to cry.)

Gil: *crying* Oh, now I'll never get home.

Nonny: Stay with us then, Gil. We all love you. We don't want you to go.

Gil: *crying* That's very kind of you, but this could never be like Bubbletucky. My friends at preschool must have stopped wondering what happened to me by now. Oh, Scarecrow, what am I going to do?

(Molly is thinking. Just then, she sees something and points. The others look.)

Molly: Look! Here's someone who can help you!

(The pink bubble appears again in the sky. It starts to come down. Some crabs and lobsters step out of the way to let the bubble come down. The bubble disappears and Oona appears again. She swims through the crowd and to Goby, Gil, Bubble Puppy, Molly and Nonny. Gil bows for her.)

Gil: Will you help me? Can you help me?

Oona: You don't need help any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Bubbletucky.

Gil: I have?

Molly: Then why didn't you tell him before?

Oona: Because he wouldn't have believed me. He had to learn it for himself.

Goby: What have you learned, Gil?

Gil: Well, I think that it - That it wasn't enough just to want to see Mr. Grouper, Molly, Goby, Deema, Oona and Nonny. And it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own playground, because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with. Is that right?

Oona: That's all it is.

Molly: But that's so easy! I should've thought of it for you.

Goby: I should've felt it in my heart.

Oona: He had to find it out for himself. Now those magic slippers will take you home in two seconds.

Gil: Bubble Puppy too?

Oona: Bubble Puppy too.

Gil: Did you hear that, boy? We're going home!

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf!

(Bubble Puppy is very happy.)

Gil: Now?

Oona: Whenever you wish.

Gil: Oh, dear. That's too wonderful to be true!

(Gil starts to cry.)

Gil: Oh, it's. It's gonna be so hard to say goodbye. I love you all too.

(Gil swims to Goby.)

Gil: Goodbye, Tin Man.

(Goby starts to cry. Gil gets his tissue out from his backpack and wipes his tears.)

Gil: Oh, don't cry. You'll rust so dreadfully.

(Gil hands Goby his oilcan.)

Gil: Here. Here's your oilcan.

(Gil and Goby do a highfive goodbye with their tails.)

Gil: Goodbye.

Goby: *crying* Now I know I've got a heart, because it's breaking.

(Gil and Goby hug. Gil swims to Nonny. They do a highfive goodbye with their tails too.)

Gil: Goodbye, Lion. I know it isn't right, but I'm gonna miss the way you used to hollow for help before you found your courage.

(Nonny is smiling at Gil with tears in his eyes as he speaks.)

Nonny: I would have never found it if it hadn't been for you.

(Gil and Nonny hug. Gil swims to Molly. He hugs Molly really tightly. Molly hugs him back.)

Gil: I think I'll miss you most of all.

(Molly and Gil do a high five goodbye with their tails. Molly is smiling at Gil with tears in her eyes too.)

Oona: Are you ready now?

Gil: Yeah. Say goodbye, Bubble Puppy.

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf!

(Bubble Puppy licks Goby, Nonny, Molly and Oona. They all laugh.)

Gil: Yeah, I'm ready now.

Oona: Then close your eyes, and shake your tail-fin three times.

(Gil closes his eyes and shakes his tail-fin three times. Bubble Puppy closes his eyes and shakes his tail-fin three times too.)

Oona: And think to yourself: "There's no place like home. There's no place like home."

Gil: There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

(Oona waves her wand. As Gil and Bubble Puppy are thinking to themselves, Molly, Goby, Nonny and Oona disappear.)

Gil: There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

(The Emerald Palace disappears, the Crabs and Lobsters disappear and everything in the land of the Magical Kingdom disappear.)

Gil: There's no place like home.

(Gil and Bubble Puppy shake their tail-fins three times again. The playground appears, the preschool appears and everything in Bubbletucky appears.)

School -

(Gil is on the floor sleeping. Someone puts a cloth on Gil's head, made some soup, took Gil's temperature and gives him some water.)

Gil: There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

(A voice that sounds like Deema's speaks.)

Voice: Wake up, bud.

Gil: There's no place like home.

(Gil wakes up.)

Gil: There's no place like home. There's no.

(Gil looks up and sees Deema and Mr. Grouper.)

Deema: Gil, my friend. It's your old pal, Deema, buddy.

Mr. Grouper: And me, Mr. Grouper

(Deema and Mr. Grouper carry Gil to the table and put him there.)

Gil: Oh, Deema, Mr. Grouper, it's you!

Deema: Yeah, pal.

(There was a knock on the door.)

Mr. Grouper: I wonder who that can be.

(Mr. Grouper swims to the door. Deema looks after Gil. A voice is heard.)

Voice: Hello there! Anybody home?

(Mr. Grouper presses the button at the door. It was Professor Joe. He comes in and walks to Gil and Deema.)

Professor Joe: I dropped by because I heard the little boy got caught in the big... Well, he seems all right now.

Mr. Grouper: He got quite a bump on the head. We all kind of thought he was gonna leave us.

Gil: But I did leave you. That's just the trouble. And I tried to get back for days!

(Deema grabs a pillow and puts it on the table. She soothes Gil.)

Deema: There, there, lie quiet now. You just had a bad dream.

(Gil heard a voice that sounded like Molly's.)

Voice: Sure.

(Molly swims to the table holding a nightstand. Gil smiles as Molly, Goby and Nonny come to the table.)

Molly: Remember me, your old pal, Molly?

(Goby swims to the table holding soup, water and cookies.)

Goby: And me, Goby?

(Nonny swims to the table holding a warm blanket with a few pillows. He smiles at Gil.)

Nonny: You couldn't forget my face, could you?

Gil: No. But it wasn't a dream. It was a place.

(Gil points at Molly, Goby, Nonny, Deema and Oona who is busy getting something.)

Gil: And you and you and you and you and you.

(Gil points at Mr. Grouper.)

Gil: And you were there.

(Molly, Goby, Nonny, Deema and Mr. Grouper laugh.)

Gil: But you couldn't have been, could you?

(Oona swims to the table holding a thermometer. She puts it in Gil's mouth and then takes it out.)

Oona: We dream lots of silly things when we -

Gil: No, Oona, this was a real, truly live place. And I remember that some of it wasn't very nice, but most of it was beautiful. But just the same, all I kept saying to everybody was, "I want to go home!" And they sent me home.

Molly, Goby, Deema, Oona, Nonny, Mr. Grouper and Professor Joe: *laughing*

Gil: Doesn't anybody believe me?

Mr. Grouper: Of course we believe you, Gil.

(Bubble Puppy swims to the table.)

Bubble Puppy: Arf arf!

Gil: There you are, boy!

(Bubble Puppy licks Gil. Everyone laughs.)

Gil: But anyway, Bubble Puppy, we're home! Home, boy! And this is my preschool, and you're all here. And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all. And oh, guys, there's no place like home!

(Gil hugs everyone. The episode ends. The end credits show with the song "Over the Rainbow!")

The End
