[Scene 3 - The Wizard & I]

Elphaba:

DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN?

HAVE I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD?

THIS WEIRD QUIRK I'VE TRIED TO SURPRESS OR HIDE

IS A TALENT THAT COULD HELP ME MEET THE WIZARD

IF I MAKE GOOD:

SO I'LL MAKE GOOD.

WHEN I MEET THE WIZARD,

ONCE I PROVE MY WORTH,

AND THEN I MEET THE WIZARD,

WHAT I'VE WAITED FOR SINCE

SINCE BIRTH!

AND WITH ALL HIS WIZARD WISDOM

BY MY LOOKS HE WON'T BE BLINDED

DO YOU THINK THE WIZARD IS DUMB?

OR LIKE MUNCHKINS SO SMALL-MINDED? NO!

HE'LL SAY TO ME "I SEE WHO YOU TRULY ARE,

A GIRL ON WHOM I CAN RELY"

AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL BEGIN,

THE WIZARD AND I

ONCE I'M WITH THE WIZARD,

MY WHOLE LIFE WILL CHANGE,

'CUZ ONCE YOU'RE WITH THE WIZARD

NO ONE THINKS YOU'RE STRANGE

NO FATHER IS NOT PROUD OF YOU,

NO SISTER ACTS ASHAMED,

AND ALL OF OZ HAS TO LOVE YOU

WHEN BY THE WIZARD YOU'RE ACLAIMED

AND THIS GIFT OR THIS CURSE

THAT I HAVE INSIDE

MAYBE AT LAST I'LL KNOW WHY

WHEN WE ARE HAND IN HAND,

THE WIZARD AND I

AND ONE DAY HE'LL SAY TO ME, "ELPHABA,

A GIRL WHO IS SO SUPERIOR,

SHOULDN'T A GIRL WHO'S SO GOOD INSIDE

HAVE A MATCHING EXTERIOR?

AND SINCE FOLKS HERE TO AN OBSURED DEGREE

SEEM FIXATED ON YOUR VERDEGRIS

WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT BY YOU

IF I DEGREENIFY YOU?"

AND OF COURSE THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO ME

"ALRIGHT! WHY NOT?" I'LL REPLY

OH, WHAT A PAIR WE'LL BE

THE WIZARD AND I

YES, WHAT A PAIR WE'LL BE

THE WIZARD AND...

UNLIMITED, MY FUTURE IS UNLIMITED

AND I'VE JUST HAD A VISION ALMOST LIKE A PROPHECY

I KNOW:

IT SOUNDS TRULY CRAZY

AND TRUE, THE VISION'S HAZY

BUT I SWEAR SOME DAY THERE'LL BE

A CELEBRATION THROUGHOUT OZ

THAT'S ALL TO DO

WITH ME!

AND I'LL STAND THERE WITH THE WIZARD

FEELING THINGS I'VE NEVER FELT

AND THOUGH I'D NEVER SHOW IT

I'D BE SO HAPPY I COULD MELT!

AND SO IT WILL BE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE

AND I'LL WANT NOTHING ELSE 'TILL I DIE

HELD IN SUCH HIGH ESTEEM!

WHEN PEOPLE SEE ME THEY WILL SCREAM

FOR HALF OF OZ'S FAVORITE TEAM:

THE WIZARD...

AND I!!!!

[Scene 5 - Dr. Dillamond's Class] - Wicked Musical Script -

The Students Are In Desks As Dillamond Arrives.

Dillamond:
Settle down, now! I have read your most recent essays. And I am amazed to report the progress!

Although, some of us still tend to favor form over content... Ms. Glinda.

Galinda:
It's GAlinda.

Dillamond:
Excuse me... Glinda.

Galinda:
I really don't see what the problem is. Every other professor seems to be able to pronounce my name.

Elphaba:
Maybe pronouncing your precious name isn't the sole purpose of Doctor Dillamond's life. Maybe he's not like every other professor. Maybe some of us are different.

Galinda:
Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed.

Dillamond:
Class, class! Miss Elphaba has a point! As you know, I am the sole Animal on the faculty. The token Goat, as it were. But it wasn't always this way. Oh, dear students, how I wish you could have seen it as it once was. Where you could walk down the halls and see an antelope explicating a sonnet, a snow leopard solving an equation, a wildebeast waxing philosophic. Don't you see, dear students, how our dear Oz is becoming less and less...looks at Elphaba... colorful. Now, who can tell me what sent these events into motion?

Elphaba:
Raises hand From what I've heard, it all started with the great drought.

Dillamond:
Exactly. Food grew scarce, people grew hungrier and angrier. And the question became "Whom can we blame?" Can anyone tell me what is meant by the term "Scapegoat"? Elphaba Raises Hand. Someone besides Miss Elphaba? Ah yes, Miss Glinda...

Galinda:
It's GAlinda... with a GA. I don't see why you can't just teach us history instead of always harping on the past.

Dillamond:
Well, perhaps these questions will enlighten you... Walks Over To The Chalk Board And Turns It Over. On it is written: ANIMALS SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD. Who is responsible for this? I'm waiting for answer... Very well, that will be all for today... You heard me, class dismissed!!!

All Students Exit Except Elphaba & Nessarose. Dillamond Has His Back Turned To Her.

Elphaba:
You go on ahead, Nessa.

Nessarose Exits.

Elphaba:
Reading The Board Aloud. "Animals should be seen and not heard..."

Dillamond:
Oh, Miss Elphaba, don't worry about me, go along and enjoy your friends.

Elphaba:
Oh that's alright, I have no friends. Would you like to share my lunch?

Dillamond:
Oh, thank you! How kind.

She Pulls Out A Candy Bar And Unwraps It. He Takes The Paper and Begins To Eat It. He Sees The Board.

Dillamond:
I seem to have lost my appetite.

Elphaba:
You shouldn't let statements like that bother you. I mean, I always do, but you shouldn't.

Dillamond:
Oh Miss Elphaba, if it were only a matter of words on a chalkboard. But the things one hears these days... dreadful things! Miss Elphaba...
