"Pardon me, that way's a very nice way. It's pleasant down that way too. Of course, people do go both ways."

- -The Scarecrow's first words.

The Scarecrow is the deuteragonist of The Wizard of Oz. He is the first ally Dorothy meets. He seeks a brain from the Wizard. He is portrayed by Ray Bolger, who also played his "reality" counterpart, the farmworker named Hunk, who had actually been turned into him.
