Elphaba:
Here. Go on. Take this. Hands Her The Grimmerie.

Glinda:
Elphie... you know I can't read that... Elphie...

Elphaba:
Well then, you'll have to learn

NOW IT'S UP TO YOU

FOR BOTH OF US:

NOW IT'S UP TO YOU

Elphaba:
You're the only friend I've ever had.

Glinda:
And I've had so many friends... but only one that mattered.

[Scene 12 - For Good]

Glinda:

I'VE HEARD IT SAID

THAT PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES FOR A REASON

BRINGING SOMETHING WE MUST LEARN

AND WE ARE LED TO THOSE

WHO HELP US MOST TO GROW

IF WE LET THEM:

AND WE HELP THEM IN RETURN

WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF I BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE

BUT I KNOW I'M WHO I AM TODAY

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

LIKE A COMMIT PULLED FROM ORBIT,

AS IT PASSES A SUN

LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER

HALF WAY THROUGH THE WOOD

WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

BUT, BECAUSE I KNEW YOU...

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED

FOR GOOD...

Elphaba:

IT WELL MAY BE,

THAT WE WILL NEVER MEET AGAIN

IN THIS LIFETIME

SO LET ME SAY BEFORE WE PART

SO MUCH OF ME:

IS MADE OF WHAT I LEARNED FROM YOU

YOU'LL BE WITH ME

LIKE A HANDPRINT ON MY HEART...

AND NOW WHATEVER WAY OUR STORIES END

I KNOW YOU HAVE RE-WRITTEN MINE

BY BEING MY FRIEND...

LIKE A SHIP BLOWN FROM IT'S MOORING

BY A WIND OFF THE SEA

LIKE A SEA DROP BY A SKY BIRD

IN A DISTANT WOOD

WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

BUT BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

Glinda:

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

Both:

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED...

FOR GOOD...

Elphaba:

AND JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR

I ASK FORGIVNESS FOR THE THINGS I'VE DONE

YOU BLAME ME FOR.

Glinda:

BUT THEN I GUESS, WE KNOW THERE'S BLAME TO SHARE

Both:

AND NONE OF IT SEEMS TO MATTER ANYMORE!

Glinda:
LIKE A COMET PULLED FROM ORBIT AS IT PASSES A SUN...

Elphaba:
LIKE A SHIP BLOWN FROM ITS MOORING BY A WIND OFF THE SEA

Glinda:
LIKE A STREAM THAT MEETS A BOULDER

Elphaba:
LIKE A SEA DROP BY A BIRD

Glinda:
HALFWAY THROUGH THE WOOD

Elphaba:
IN THE WOOD

Glinda:

WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER?

Both:

I DO BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER.

Glinda:

AND, BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

Elphaba:

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

Both:

BECAUSE I KNEW YOU

I HAVE BEEN CHANGED

FOR GOOD...

[Scene 13 - Elphaba's Demise]

Elphaba:
You have to hide. No one can know you were here. Hide yourself!

Elphaba Drapes A Scrim Around The Stage

Offstage Chorus of Women:

AND GOODNESS KNOWS

THE WICKED'S LIVES ARE LONELY

GOODNESS KNOWS THE WICKED DIE ALONE...

Boq and Other Witch Hunters Run In. You Can See The Silhouette Of The Action Happening Behind The Scrim. Glinda Is Downstage Watching The Action Take Place.

The Mob Surrounds The Witch And She Melts With A Scream The Mob Leaves And Glinda Comes Out From Hiding. She Moves Near The Scrim.

Glinda:
Elphie? Elphie? Chistery opens the scrim, where just Elphaba's hat and the green bottle remain. Glinda cries, and grabs the had, holding it against her.

Chistery:
Handing Her The Bottle. Miss, Miss Glinda.

The Next Scene Opens In the Emerald City With The Wizard & Mme. Morrible.

Morrible:
Well, I don't know why you're so despondiary, I thought it went quite well! They seem thrilled to shreds with their brains and their hearts, and this and that.... Glinda Enters. Oh, Miss Glinda! I thought you'd be out festivating.

Glinda:
This was Elphaba's. Holding Out The Bottle.

Wizard:
What's that you say?

Glinda:
It was a keepsake. It was her mother's. She told me so herself.

I've only seen a little, green bottle like this one other time. It was right here, in this very room. You offered me a drink from it.

Lover's Song Played In Background.

Wizard:
But... oh my Lord...

I AM A SENTIMENTAL MAN

WHO ALWAYS LONGED TO BE...

a father...

Morrible:
So that was it. That's why she had such powers! She was a child of both worlds!

Wizard:
He Cries.

Glinda:
I want you to leave Oz. I'll make the pronouncement myself:

that the strains of wizardship have been too much for you and you are taking an indefinite leave of absence! Did you hear what I said?!

Wizard:
Yes, your goodness.

Glinda:
You'd better go get your balloon ready. Guards!

He Exits.

Morrible:
Glinda, dear, I know we've had our miniscule differentiations in the past...

Glinda:
Guards! Madame, have you ever considered how you'd fare in captivity?

Morrible:
What?

Glinda:
Articulated. Captivity... prison! Personally, I don't think you'll hold up very well.

My professional opinion is that you do not have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong.

I doubt you will. Take her away!

Morrible:
No!!!!

[Scene 14 - Finale] - Wicked Musical Script -

Fiyero:
It worked!

He Opens The Door & Elphaba Climbs Out.

Elphaba:
Fiyero! I thought you'd never get here.

She Touches His Straw Face.

Fiyero:
Go ahead, touch, I don't mind. Ah, you did the best you could. You saved my life.

Elphaba:
You're still beautiful.

Fiyero:
You don't have to lie to me.

Elphaba:
It's not lying... its looking at things another way.

Ozians:

NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED

NOW AT LAST SHE'S DEAD AND GONE!

NOW AT LAST THERE'S JOY THROUGHOUT THE LAND!

Glinda:
Fellow Ozians, friends, we have been through a frightening time. There will be other times

and other things that frighten us. But if you let me, I'd like to try to help. I'd like to try to be... Glinda the Good.

Ozians:

GOOD NEWS!!

Fiyero:
It's time to go.

Elphaba:
We can never come back to Oz, can we?

Fiyero:
No.

Elphaba:
I only wish...

Fiyero:
What?

Elphaba:
Glinda could know that we're alive.

Fiyero:
She can't know, not if we want to be safe. No one can ever know.

GOOD NEWS...

Fiyero:
Come...

WHO CAN SAY IF I'VE BEEN CHANGED FOR THE BETTER? BUT...
