Quote #10
DOROTHY: I think I'm going to miss you most of all.
Not every part of coming-of-age is empowerment and awesomeness. Dorothy's going to lose some things along the way… most notably her friends in Oz. Those losses are tough, but they're part of coming of age; a sad lesson that Dorothy mournfully accepts. We all have to leave behind our teddy bears and blankie when we grow up; that's one of the trade-offs.
