Elphaba:
Go! Fly! You're Free! Fly! Chistery, Chistery, you're free, isn't it wonderful?! Go, fly! She Makes Her Way To Another "Monkey" Covered By A Sheet.

Wizard:
No! No! Please!

She Pulls Off The Cover, Revealing Dr. Dillamond.

Elphaba:
No! It can't be! Doctor Dillamond...

Wizard:
Elphaba, we just couldn't keep letting him speak out...

Elphaba:
Doctor Dillamond, are you alright? Don't be afraid. It's me, Elphaba.

Dillamond:
Bahhhhh.

Elphaba:
Doctor, don't you remember me?

Dillamond:
Bahhhhh.

Elphaba:
Can't you speak?

Dillamond:
Bahhhhh.

Elphaba:
No... We have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I never will be and I will fight you until the day I die!!!

The Wizard Climbs Into The Head And Dr. Dillamond Runs Offstage.

Wizard:
Guards, guards!!!

Fiyero Runs In With His Men.

Guard:
Halt!

Fiyero:
Are you alright, your Ozness?

Elphaba:
Fiyero!

Fiyero:
I don't believe it...

Elphaba:
Oh , Fiyero, thank God. I thought you were...

Fiyero:
Silence witch!!!

Guard:
There's a Goat on the lam, sir.

Fiyero:
Never mind all that. Fetch me some... some water.

Guard:
Water, sir?

Fiyero:
You heard me, as much as you can carry.

Guards:
Yes, sir!

They March Off.

Elphaba:
Fiyero...

Fiyero:
I said silence!

Wizard:
He Runs Out Of The Head. No! No!

Fiyero:
Don't make a sound, your Ozness, unless you want all your guests to know the truth about the Wonderful Wizard of Oz... Elphaba, I'll find Doctor Dillamond later, no get out of here.

Elphaba:
Fiyero, you frightened me. I thought, I though you might have changed.

Fiyero:
I have... changed.

Glinda Enters.

Glinda:
What's going on... Elphie? Oh, thank Oz you're alive! Only you shouldn't have come. If anyone discoverates you ...

Fiyero:
Glinda, you'd better go.

Glinda:
Fiyero, what are you...

Fiyero:
Please, just go back to the ball.

Glinda:
Your Ozness, he means no disrespectation. Please understand! You see, we all went to school together...

Fiyero:
Elphaba!

Glinda:
Fiyero, have you misplaced your mind? What are you doing?

Fiyero:
I'm going with her.

Glinda:
What? What are you saying? You mean all this time... the two of you... behind my back...

Elphaba:
No, Glinda it wasn't like that!

Fiyero:
Actually, it was...but it wasn't...Elphaba, let's go... let's go!

They Run Off.

Glinda:
Fine, go! You deserve each other...

The Wizard Holds A Small Bottle With A Green Liquid.

Wizard:
Here, have a swig of this, it dulls the pain.

Glinda:
No, thank you.

Mme. Morrible Enters, Laughing.

Morrible:
Oh, is it true? Your betrothed has taken her into custody?

Wizard:
Our new captain of the guard had other plans.

Morrible:
You mean she hasn't been captured?

Wizard:
Quite the contrary. And considering how well she eluded us last time...

Morrible:
Well, we'll just flush her out and force her to show herself.

Wizard:
But how?

Glinda:
Her sister

Morrible:
What? What did she say?

Glinda:
Use her sister. Spread a rumor. Make her think her sister is in trouble and she will fly to her side... and you'll have her.

Wizard:
Exactly so.

Glinda:
Now, if your Ozness will excuse me I have a slight headache, I think I'll lie down.

She Walks Out.

Morrible:
Yes, well...a rumor won't do it. Elphaba's too smart for that.

Wizard:
Far too smart.

Morrible:
Perhaps, a change in the weather...

[Scene 6 - I'm Not That Girl (Reprise)] - Wicked Musical Script -

Glinda:

DON'T WISH, DON'T START

WISHING ONLY WOUNDS THE HEART...

THERE'S A GIRL I KNOW, HE LOVES HER SO...

I'M NOT THAT GIRL...

[Scene 7 - As Long As You're Mine]

Only Elphaba & Fiyero Are On Stage, In The Woods

Elphaba:

KISS ME TOO FIERCELY, HOLD ME TOO TIGHT

I NEED HELP BELIEVING YOU'RE WITH ME TONIGHT

MY WILDEST DREAMINGS COULD NOT FORSEE

LYING BESIDE YOU WITH YOU WANTING ME

IF JUST FOR THIS MOMENT

AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE

I'VE LOST ALL RESISTANCE

AND CROSSED SOME BORDERLINE

AND IF IT TURNS OUT

IT'S OVER TOO FAST

I'LL MAKE EVERY LAST MOMENT LAST

AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE...

Fiyero:

MAYBE I'M BRAINLESS, MAYBE I'M WISE,

BUT YOU'VE GOT ME SEEING THROUGH DIFFERENT EYES,

SOMEHOW I'VE FALLEN UNDER YOUR SPELL

AND SOMEHOW I'M FEELING

IT'S UP THAT I FELL

Both:

EVERY MOMENT, AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE

I'LL WAKE UP MY BODY

AND MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME

Fiyero:

SAY THERE'S NO FUTURE

FOR US AS A PAIR...

Both:

AND THOUGH I MAY KNOW,

I DON'T CARE

IF JUST FOR THIS MOMENT

AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE

COME BE HOW YOU WANT TO

AND SEE HOW BRIGHT WE SHINE!

BORROW THE MOONLIGHT

UNTIL IT IS THROUGH

AND KNOW I'LL BE HERE HOLDING YOU...

AS LONG AS YOU'RE MINE...

Fiyero:
What is it?

Elphaba:
It's just... for the first time... I feel... wicked.

[Scene 8 - Dorothy Arrives]

Elphaba:
I just wish...

Fiyero:
What?

Elphaba:
I wish I could be beautiful... for you.

Fiyero:
Elphaba...

Elphaba:
Don't tell me that I am, you don't need to lie to me.

Fiyero:
It's not lying! It's... uh... it's looking at things another way. Someday, you and Glinda will make up and we'll all...

Elphaba:
Shh! Listen... Do you hear that? A Shriek Is Heard In The Distance. It sounds like somebody in pain.

Fiyero:
It's just the wind.

Elphaba:
The Siren Is Heard Again. My sister's in danger.

Fiyero:
What? How do you know?

Elphaba:
I don't know, I just do... Gasps.

Fiyero:
Elphaba what's wrong, what is it?

Elphaba:
This! Don't you see it?

Fiyero:
What do you mean? What do you see?

Elphaba:
It doesn't make any sense... It's a house but it's... it's flying through the sky? I have to go to Nessa!

Fiyero:
I'll come with you!

Elphaba:
No, you mustn't, it's too dangerous!

Fiyero:
Listen to me, listen! My family has a castle in Kiamo Ko. Now, no one is ever there except for the sentries who watch over it. We've never lived there.

Elphaba:
Where do you live?

Fiyero:
In the other castle... It's the perfect hiding place; tunnels, secret passageways. You'll be safe there.

Elphaba:
We will see each other again, won't we?

Fiyero:
Elphaba, we are going to be together always. You can see houses flying through the sky, can't you see that?

They Embrace And Elphaba Runs Off.

[Scene 9 - Elphaba Vs. Glinda]

Glinda Enters. There Is A House In The Background. The Edge OF The Yellow Brick Road Can Be Seen.

Glinda:
That's right, you just take that one road, the whole time. Waves offstage. Oh, I hope they don't get lost. I'm so bad at giving directions. She sees the house, picks up flowers and lays them in front of the house. Oh, Nessa.

Elphaba Appears.

Elphaba:
What a touching display of grief.

Glinda:
I don't think we have anything further to say to one another.

Elphaba:
I wanted something to remember her by, and all that is left were those shoes, and now that wretched little farm girl has walked off with them. So I'd appreciate some time, alone, to say goodbye to my sister.

Glinda Backs Away As Elphaba Walks Toward The House.

Elphaba:
Nessa, please, please, please forgive me...

Glinda:
Elphie... you mustn't blame yourself. It's dreadful, it is, to have a house fall on you, but accidents will happen.

Elphaba:
You call this an accident?

Glinda:
Yes! Well, maybe not an accident...

Elphaba:
Well, what do you call it?

Glinda:
Well... a regime change. Caused by a bizarre and unexpected twister of fate.

Elphaba:
You think cyclones just appear out of the blue?

Glinda:
I don't know, I never really...

Elphaba:
No, of course you never! You're too busy telling everyone how wonderful everything is!

Glinda:
I'm a public figure, now. People expect me to...

Elphaba:
Lie?

Glinda:
Be encouraging! And what exactly have you been doing besides riding around on that filthy, old thing?

Elphaba:
Well, we can't all come and go by bubble. Who's invention was that, the Wizard's? Of course, even if it wasn't I'm sure he'd still take credit for it.

Glinda:
Yes, well, a lot of us are taking things that don't belong to us, aren't we?

Elphaba:
Now wait just a clock tick! I know it may be difficult for that blissful, blonde brain of yours to comprehend that someone like him could actually choose someone like me! But it's happened... it's real. And you can wave that ridiculous wand all you want, you can't change it! He never belonged to you, he doesn't love you, and he never did! He loves me!

Glinda Slaps Her.

Elphaba:
Cackles. Feel better now?

Glinda:
Yes, I do.

Elphaba:
Good, so do I.

She Slaps Glinda. Glinda Then Twirls Her Wand Skillfully And Elphaba Arms Herself With Her Broom. They Charge At Each Other And Then Drop Their "Weapons" And Beat Each Other Senselessly. Glinda Takes Elphaba's Hat Off Her Head And Begins To Whack Her With It. The Guards Run In.

Guard:
Halt! In the name of the Wizard!

They Grab Elphaba.

Elphaba:
Stop! Let me go!

Glinda:
Let me go, I almost had her!

Guard:
Sorry it took us so long to get here, Miss.

Elphaba:
I can't believe you would sink this low! To use my sister's death as a trap to capture me?!

Glinda:
I never meant for this to happen! Elphie!

Fiyero Swings In On A Rope.

Fiyero:
Let the green girl go!

Glinda:
Fiyero, how in Oz?

Fiyero:
I said let her go! Or explain to all Oz how the Wizard's guards watched while Glinda the Good was slain.

Glinda:
Fiyero...

Fiyero:
I said, let her go.

The Guards Release Her.

Fiyero:
Elphaba, go, now.

Elphaba:
No, not without you.

Glinda:
Fiyero, please.

Fiyero:
Hush! Now! Go!

Elphaba Hesitates.

Glinda:
Do it!

She Runs Off.

Guard:
Seize him!

Glinda:
Wait, what?! What are you doing? Stop it! In the name of goodness, stop! Don't you see? He wasn't going to harm me, he just... he just... he loves her.

Fiyero:
Glinda, I'm so sorry!

Guard:
Take him up to that field there! Put him on one of those poles until he tells us where the witch went.

They Drag Him Offstage.

Glinda:
No, don't hurt him! Please, don't hurt him! Fiyero!!!!

[Scene 10 - No Good Deed]

Elphaba:
Fiyero!!!!

ELEKA NAHMEN NAHMEN ATUM ATUM ELEKA NAHMEN

ELEKA NAHMEN NAHMEN ATUM ATUM ELEKA NAHMEN

LET HIS FLESH NOT BE TORN LET HIS BLOOD LEAVE NO STAIN,

WILL THEY BEAT HIM, LET HIM FEEL NO PAIN...

LET HIS BONES NEVER BREAK AND HOWEVER THEY TRY TO DESTROY HIM,

LET HIM NEVER DIE, LET HIM NEVER DIE!

ELEKA NAHMEN NAHMEN ATUM ATUM ELEKA NAHMEN

ELEKA NAHMEN NAHMEN ATUM ATUM ELEKA... ELEKA

AH! WHAT GOOD IS THIS CHANTING?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M READING

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TRICK I OUGHT TO TRY!

FIYERO WHERE ARE YOU?! ALREADY DEAD OR BLEEDING?

ONE MORE DISASTER I CAN ADD TO MY GENEROUS SUPPLY!

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

NO ACT OF CHARITY GOES UNRESENTED

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

THAT'S MY NEW CREED

MY ROAD OF GOOD INTENTIONS

LED WHERE SUCH ROADS ALWAYS LEAD

NO GOOD DEED:

GOES UNPUNISHED!

NESSA...

DOCTOR DILLAMOND...

FIYERO...

FIYERO!!!

ONE QUESTION HAUNTS AND HURTS

TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH TO MENTION

WAS I REALLY SEEKING GOOD

OR JUST SEEKING ATTENTION?

IS THAT ALL GOOD DEEDS ARE WHEN LOOKED AT WITH AN ICE COLD EYE?

IF THAT'S ALL GOOD DEEDS ARE

MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

ALL HELPFUL URGES SHOULD BE CIRCUMVENTED

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

SURE, I MEANT WELL, WELL LOOK AT WHAT WELL MEANT DID!

ALRIGHT, ENOUGH, SO BE IT!

SO BE IT THEN...

LET ALL OF OZ BE AGREED

I'M WICKED THROUGH AND THROUGH

SINCE I COULD NOT SUCCEED

FIYERO SAVING YOU

EVER AGAIN!

NO GOOD DEAD, WILL I DO

AGAIN!!!!!!!!
