RossGlinda the Good Witch said that Dorothy Gale was wearing a powerful pair of slippers. The slippers had come off the feet of the Wicked Witch of the East, who had died by being struck albeit accidentally by Dorothy's farmhouse landing in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. The slippers had the secret power to grant the wearer's request. But the wearer had to say the request out loud and click the slippers' heels together three times. Glinda said that would get Dorothy back to Kansas, and it did.
When she awakens back in Kansas, Dorothy begins and ends her conversations with her family and friends by stating, 'There's no place like home'.
As she's awakening, Dorothy Gale keeps repeating 'There's no place like home'. She then says, 'Oh, Auntie Em, it's you!'
She interrupts a conversation between Uncle Henry and Professor Marvel to say, 'But I did leave you, Uncle Henry. That's just the trouble. And I tried to get back for days and days'.
To the farmhand Hickory, she says, 'No. But it wasn't a dream. It was a place. And you and you and you were there'.
She falters and wonders out loud, 'But you couldn't have been, could you' when they all laugh.
Then she goes back to defend her position with, 'No Aunt Em, 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. Doesn't anybody believe me?'
Her family and friends sputter their belief in her, to which she comments, 'Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home! And this is my room and you're all here! And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And, oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!'

Does Glinda tell Dorothy 'It was inside you all the time' in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
Yes, Glinda the Good Witch tells Dorothy Gale that the ability to get back home to Kansas was always inside her. She says that Dorothy has to realize this and other truths on her. She explains that Dorothy owns the Slippers of the defunct Witch of the East. Those shoes can take the wearer to any destination. The wearer has only to click both shoe heels together and say out loud the name of the destination.
What does Glinda say when Dorothy wants to go home in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
That she always has had the power to get back home is what Glinda says to Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Glinda the Good Witch says that one way to get back to Kansas is through the magic slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Witch dies when Dorothy Gale's farmhouse lands on top of her. Dorothy is given the shoes, which she has been wearing throughout all of her adventures in the magical lands of Oz.
What city did Dorothy live in In Kansas?
Author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919] gives no information other than to say that Dorothy lives in the middle of the great plains in the state of Kansas.
What famous line is in the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' but not in the book?
'And - Oh, Auntie Em - there's no place like home!' is the last line in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. It's spoken by Dorothy Gale while she's lying in bed, looking at her family and friends, and holding onto her pet dog Toto. The sentence is part of what she says with everyone in the room in mind. But it's directed towards Aunt Em, who comforts a Dorothy beginning to tear up over the sheer happiness at being back home.
How did Dorothy get home?
Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto tried to get back home by way of a hot air balloon ride with the Wizard of Oz. The balloon took off without them. And so they sought help from Glinda the Good Witch [of the South in the original book, of the North in the 1939 film version]. Glinda said that Dorothy always had the means to get home on her own person. For the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East had secret powers. All their wearer had to do was tap their heels together three times, and say the request out loud. In three strides, and in the wink of an eye for each stride, the wearer would find the request answered.
