- Gretchen Witter: You know Dawson, it might interest you to know that I did take one film class in college.
- Dawson: Was it a monumental waste of time?
- Gretchen Witter: No, it was great actually. But you know what my teacher said was the most bogus line in Hollywood cinema?
- Dawson: What?
- Gretchen Witter: "There's no place like home."
- Dawson: Wizard of Oz.
- Gretchen Witter: Exactly. It's what everybody remembers about the movie, but it doesn't resonate with the rest of the story. Think about it. You know home is this desolate, gray, dust bowl of a place where some nasty old lady is trying to kill your dog. And Oz is...
- Dawson: Technicolor.
- Gretchen Witter: And sure it has it's problems. You know, poppy fields, flying monkeys...
- Dawson: Talking trees.
- Gretchen Witter: But along the way you make friends. Good friends. With people that you never even knew existed when you were growing up. Straw people, tin people...
- Dawson: And lions.
- Gretchen Witter: Exactly. And you help each other realize that all the things that you want to be, you already are. And it's fun.
