S: "So, what - are you the Tin Man? What is it you need?"
R: "A heart. And the scarecrow needs a brain."
S: "What about the lion?"
R: "He needs courage."
S: "But I don't understand. Courage isn't a body part."
R: "Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it was courage."
S: insistently "But that isn't a body part."
R: "It was a kid's movie. They couldn't very well say that he needed a pair of balls."
Instead all he got was this lousy medal. (And personally, I think he needs a make-over. What the hell is with that red bow in his fur?)
Surprisingly, I don't think I've ever seen this movie all the way through. This part with the handing out of the medal of courage, the diploma (see: a degree is a substitute for a brain! Heed this well, little children), and whatever the tin man gets (a heart-shaped watch? what?) is totally unfamiliar.
Also, I just want to advise anyone who may be considering a sexy cowardly lion costume for Halloween: just because you can buy it on the Internet does not make it a good idea.

yeah - lion needs quite a bit more than some manscaping to really be in top form.
Good point about the brains: I just need to re-finance my house and buy a diploma. Oh wait; my house is under water. Never mind.
I'm now envisioning a cartoon morality play involving a house that is literally underwater.
I guess the implication is that cowardly = girly, thus the curls and bow.
Jen, nicely observed. No doubt he goes out for a military-style buzz-cut at the end of the movie.
The medal doesn't look right to me, but the rest of the costume looks great.
