Bye bye Kansas

Hi,

this is an excerpt from The Matrix:
[Morpheus] - The pill you took is part of a tracing program. It's designed to disrupt your input-ouput carrier signal, so we can pinpoint your location
[Neo] - What does that mean?
[Cypher] - It means, buckle your seat belt Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye bye.

I'm guessing this is a reference to, or a quotation from, something else. A movie maybe? From the smiles it prompts, I would say it's something known; unfortunately, not by me. Could you please tell me what it is?

Thank you!
H.

It's from the movie The Wizard of Oz. The famous line from the movie is often reported as "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." Dorothy actually says, "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." She and her dog have been carried from Kansas "over the rainbow" by a tornado to the Land of Oz.
