What is the Lion's speech in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

Answer 1

That the Lion now is a member of the Legion of Courage is what the Wizard says when presenting the Lion with a badge of courage in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, this incident takes place in the beloved 1939 film version, but not in the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz." The Wizard says that avoiding danger is not cowardly and that the Lion lacks, not courage, but a medal for bravery against wicked witches. He therefore awards him with the Triple Cross of "meritorious conduct, extraordinary valor, conspicuous bravery" against the Wicked Witch of the West.

Answer 2

That he feels courageous in the book and that he is speechless in the movie are what the Lion says when he gets his courage from the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the Wizard gives the Cowardly Lion something smelly to drink in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." But the Lion downs the drink and announces that he feels "Full of courage." In contrast, the Lion dons a medal of courage given to him by the Wizard in the beloved 1939 film version. He then announces, "Oh -- Oh -- shucks, folks, I'm speechless!"

Answer 3

The revealing of his life history is what the Lion's speech is in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, the incident takes place in both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz." It involves the Lion's explanation for his cowardly behavior in attacking Dorothy's diminutive, gentle dog Toto. It indicates that the Lion makes inconsistent choices in the fights that he picks, what with running from the tougher fights and settling for the easy, bullying wins.
