What does Glinda say when Dorothy wants to go home in Wizard of

In the movie, Glinda doesn't say much when Dorothy wants to go home. Dorothy simply clicks her heels together and wishes to go home, and then she's back in Kansas.

However, in the book, Glinda's role is a little more involved. Here's what she says:

* Glinda: *“You’ve been given a great gift, my dear. But you have forgotten the secret of it. Your heart is filled with love, and your shoes are made of silver. Click your heels together three times and say, ‘There’s no place like home!’"*

In the movie, the "silver" shoes are ruby red, but Glinda still emphasizes the importance of Dorothy's own inner strength and love for her home.
