Uncle Henry
He is the owner of the farm. He adores Dorothy, but it is clear that Aunt Em is much more in charge of her upbringing.
In this scene Miss Gulch is very upset that Toto has bit her. Uncle Henry does not like Miss Gulch.
Miss Gulch
Mr. Gale! Mr. Gale! I want to see you and your wife right away! It’s about Dorothy.
Uncle Henry
Dorothy? Well, what has Dorothy done?
Miss Gulch
What’s she done? I’m all but lame from the bite on my leg!
Uncle Henry
You mean she bit you?
Miss Gulch
No, her dog!
Uncle Henry
Oh, she bit your dog, eh?
Miss Gulch
No! That dog’s a menace to the community. I’m taking him to the sheriff and make sure he’s destroyed.
Dorothy
Destroyed? Toto? Oh, you can’t! You mustn’t! Aunt Em! Uncle Henry! You won’t let her, will you?
Uncle Henry
Of course we won’t. Will we, Em?
Miss Gulch
If you don’t hand over that dog, I’ll bring a damage suit that’ll take your whole farm!
There’s a law protecting folks against dogs that bite!
Aunt Em
How would it be if she keeps him tied up? He’s really gentle, with gentle people, that is.
Miss Gulch
Well, that’s for the sheriff to decide. Here’s his order allowing me to take him. Unless you want to go against the law.
Aunt Em
Now, we can’t go against the law, Dorothy. I’m afraid poor Toto will have to go.
Miss Gulch
Now you’re seeing reason.
