"Padfoot, I'm not wearing a dress."
"But you're the prettiest."
"Ha, very funny. You have the best hair. Why don't you do it?"
"Because I'm the tallest."
"So?"
"So? The scarecrow is the tallest. And obviously Wormtail has to be the lion because round enough for it."
"Why can't I be the tin man?"
"Because it's just before the full and Moony's already going to be pale enough that we won't have to paint him."
"Merlin, you've thought of everything."
"'Course I have. Now come over here so I can practice this charm I found."
"What's it do?"
"Gives you braids."
"No."
"Prongsy, don't make me beg."
"... Maybe I should be a flying monkey."
"We can't do this without Dorothy."
"I'm sure you'll find a way to make it work without a Dorothy. Charm a blow-up doll or something."
"Jim--"
"I'm not doing it."
"You have no heart."
"Then I should be the tin man."
"That's faulty logic."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not missing a brain."
"Wanna bet?"
