[Scene 6 - Something Bad]

I'VE HEARD OF AN OX, A PROFESSOR FROM QUOX

NO LONG PERMITTED TO TEACH,

WHO HAS LOST ALL POWERS OF SPEECH.

AND AN OWL IN MUNCHKIN ROCK

A VICAR WITH A THRIVING FLOCK

FORBIDDEN TO PREACH

NOW HE ONLY CAN SCREECH!

ONLY RUMORS, BUT STILL, ENOUGH TO GIVE PAUSE

TO ANYONE WITH PAWS

SOMETHING BAD IS HAPPENING IN OZ

Elphaba:

SOMETHING BAD?

HAPPENING IN OZ?

Dillamond:

UNDER THE SURFACE

BEHIND THE SCENES

SOMETHING BAAAAAH...

Sorry, bad...

Elphaba:
Dr. Dillamond, are you alright? Shall I fetch you a glass of water?

Dillamond:
No, I don't know what came over me.

Elphaba:
So, you're saying that there are animals that have, somehow, forgotten how to speak? But, how is that possible?

Dillamond:
Well, with so much pressure not to...

Morrible Enters.

Morrible:
I heard there was some sort of disturburance in class. Are you alright, Doctor? Oh, Miss Elphaba, you're still here! I thought you would have been on your way to my seminar by now.

Elphaba:
Yes Madame, ordinarily I would be but...

Morrible:
But what? I do hope I have not misplaced my trust in you. Magic is a very demanderating mistress, and if one has ambitions of meeting the Wizard. I'm sure Doctor Dillamond sees my point.

Morrible Exits.

Elphaba:
I'd better go. Doctor Dillamond, if something bad is happening to the Animals then someone has to tell the Wizard. That's why we have a Wizard!

SO NOTHING BAD:

Both:

NOTHNG ALL THAT BAD

Dillamond:

NOTHING TRULY BAAAAHHH...

Sorry... Bad.

Elphaba:

IT COULDN'T HAPPEN HERE,

IN OZ...

[Scene 7 - Fiyero] - Wicked Musical Script -

Fiyero & Avaric Enter.

Avaric:
Here we are, sir! Shiz University!

Fiyero:
What? Already?

Avaric:
Yes, sir.

Fiyero:
What a shame. Well, we'll see you soon, Avaric. Don't worry, I won't last longer at this school than I did at any of the others.

Avaric Exits.

Boq:
Uh, miss Galinda, I know I'm just a munchkin, but munchkins have feelings too, and I've been trying to tell you mine, for you. But sometimes it seems like you don't even know I'm there.

Galinda:
That's not true, Biq.

Boq:
It's Boq.

Galinda:
Biq, do you know who that is? That's Fiyero Tiggular, tha Winkie Prince whose reputation is so scandalacious!

Boq Looks Disgusted. Fiyero Walks Toward Them. Galinda Swishes Her Hair. Fiyero, Noticing Her Strange Behavior, Does The Same.

Galinda:
To Fiyero. Were you looking for something or someone?

Fiyero:
Uhhh yea... history... class? I don't know... somewhere?

Boq:
History building is way over there my friend...

Galinda:
That class just ended!

Fiyero:
Oh! Perfect timing! So, uh, what does one do for fun around here?

Galinda:
Nothing really... until now...

Boq:
We've been studying!

Fiyero:
Well, I see that once again the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me. Fortunately, I'm up for the task.

[Scene 8 - Dancing Through Life]

Fiyero:

THE TROUBLE WITH SCHOOLS IS

THEY ALWAYS TRY TO TEACH THE WRONG LESSON

BELIEVE ME, I'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF ENOUGH OF THEM TO KNOW!

THEY WANT YOU TO BECOME LESS CALLOW, LESS SHALLOW,

BUT I SAY WHY INVITE STRESS IN?

STOP STUDYING STRIFE

AND LEARN TO LIVE

THE UNEXAMINED LIFE...

DANCIN' THROUGH LIFE

SKIMMING THE SURFACE

GLIDING WHERE TURF IS SMOOTH

LIFE IS PAINLESS FOR THE BRAINLESS

THOSE WHO DON'T TRY, NEVER LOOK FOOLISH

DANCING THROUGH LIFE

NO NEED TO TOUGH IT

WHEN YOU CAN SLUFF IT OFF AS I DO

NOTHING MATTERS, BUT KNOWING NOTHING MATTERS

IT'S JUST LIFE, SO KEEP DANCING THROUGH

DANCING THROUGH LIFE

SWAYING AND SWEEPING

AND ALWAYS KEEPING COOL

LIFE IS FRAUGHTLESS

WHEN YOU'RE THOUGHTLESS

THOSE WHO DON'T TRY

NEVER LOOK FOOLISH

DANCING THROUGH LIFE

MINDLESS AND CARELESS

MAKE SURE YOU'RE WHERE LESS TROUBLE IS RIFE

WHOES ARE FLEETING

BLOWS ARE GLANCING

WHEN YOU'RE DANCING

THROUGH LIFE!

So! What's the most swankified place in town?

Galinda:
That would be the Ozdust Ballroom!

Fiyero:
Sounds perfect!

LET'S GO DOWN TO THE OZDUST BALLROOM

WE'LL MEET THERE LATER TONIGHT

WE CAN DANCE 'TIL IT'S LIGHT

FIND THE PRETTIEST GIRL

GIVE HER A WHIRL!

RIGHT ON DOWN TO THE OZDUST BALLROOM

COME ON FOLLOW ME!

YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO BE THERE

Students:

DANCIN' THROUGH LIFE, DOWN AT THE OZDUST (LIFE!)

Fiyero:

IF ONLY BECAUSE DUST IS WHAT WE COME TO!

Students:

NOTHIN' MATTERS, BUT KNOWING NOTHING MATTERS

IT'S JUST LIFE!!!

Fiyero:

SO KEEP DANCING THROUGH...

Boq:
Miss Galinda? I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be waiting right there, right by your side, waiting, all night.

Galinda:
Oh, how very kind, Biq.

Boq:
... Boq...

Galinda:
But, do you know what would be even kinder?

SEE THAT TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL GIRL?

THE ONE IN THE CHAIR?

IT SEEMS SO UNFAIR

WE SHOULD GO ON A SPREE

AND NOT SHE, GEE

I KNOW SOMEONE WOULD BE MY HERO

IF THAT SOMEONE WERE

TO GO INVITE HER!

Boq:
Well, maybe I could invite her!

Galinda:

OH, BIQ, REALLY?

YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?

Boq:
I would do anything for you, Miss Galinda. Walks Over To Nessarose.

Excuse me, Miss Nessarose? There's something I'd like to ask you...

Fiyero:
To Galinda. You're good.

Galinda:
I don't know what you mean. But I do happen to be free tonight, so...

Fiyero:
So, I'll be picking you up around eight?

Galinda:
After all...

NOW THAT WE'VE MET ONE ANOTHER,

Both:

IT'S CLEAR WE DESERVE EACHOTHER!

Galinda:
You're perfect!

Fiyero:
You're perfect!

Both:

SO WE'RE PERFECT TOGETHER

BORN TO BE FOREVER

DANCING THROUGH LIFE!!!

The Scene Fades To Elphaba and Nessarose.

Elphaba:
It's absurd! This silly, rich boy appears and everyone's off to worship him and some cultish social gathering!

Nessarose:
Even me! I'm going! Isn't it wonderful? Boq was too shy to ask me at first, but once Galinda encouraged him...

Elphaba:
Galinda?!

Nessarose:
Don't you dare say another word against her! I'm about to have the first happy night of my life all thanks to Galinda!

FINALLY FOR THIS ONE NIGHT,

I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A FUN NIGHT

WITH THIS MUNCHKIN BOY GALINDA FOUND FOR ME

AND I ONLY WISH THERE WERE

SOMETHING I COULD DO FOR HER TO REPAY HER

ELPHABA SEE...

WE DESERVE EACHOTHER AND GALINDA HELPED IT COME TRUE

WE DESERVE EACHOTHER, ME AND BOQ

Please, Elphaba, try to understand.

Elphaba:
I do...

The Scene Changes To Galinda, Shen Shen, & Pfanee. Elphaba Remains On The Other Side Of The Stage.

Galinda:
Now I must accessorize myself for Fiyero.

Shen Shen Pulls The Witch's Hat Out Of One Of Galinda's Hat Boxes.

Pfanee:
Galinda, what in Oz's name!?

Galinda:
Now, just pretend you didn't see that. My granny is always giving me the most hideodeous hats.

I'd give it away, but I don't hate anyone that much.

Shen Shen:
Yes you do!

Pfanee:
Give it to her! Just do it!

They All Stare At Elphaba. Galinda Walks Forward, Meeting Elphaba Half Way.

Elphaba:
Galinda, listen, Nessa and I were talking about you just now...

Galinda:
And I was just talking about you! I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight! Gives Her The Hat.

IT'S REALLY... UH... SHARP!

DON'T YOU THINK?

Y'KNOW BLACK, IS THIS YEAR'S PINK!

YOU DESERVE EACHOTHER,

THIS HAT AND YOU,

YOU'RE BOTH SO... SMART!

YOU DESERVE EACHOTHER, SO HERE!

OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART!

Galinda Runs Off. Elphaba Laughs At The Sight Of The Hat. She Exits.. The Students Enter And Dance.

When This Is Done, Boq And Nessarose Appear, Awkwardly Holding Hands.

Nessarose:
What's in the punch?

Boq:
Lemons, and melons, and pears!

Nessarose:
Oh my!

Boq:

LISTEN NESSA...

Nessarose:
Yes?

Boq:

UH, NESSA...

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO CONFESS A

REASON WHY, WELL, WHY I ASKED YOU HERE TONIGHT...

NOW, I KNOW IT ISN'T FAIR.

Nessarose:
Oh, Boq, I know why.

Boq:
You do?

Nessarose:

IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN THIS CHAIR, AND YOU FELT SORRY FOR ME...

WELL, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

Boq:
No... it's because... uh... because...

BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!

Nessarose:
Oh, Boq!

I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL!

AND WE DESERVE EACH OTHER, DON'T YOU SEE THIS IS OUR CHANCE?

WE DESERVE EACH OTHER, DON'T WE BOQ?

Boq:
You know what? Let's dance!

Nessarose:
What?

Boq:

LET'S DANCE!

They Dance, As Well As The Others Around Them. Finally, Mme. Morrible Runs Up To Galinda.

Morrible:
Oh, Miss Upland?

Galinda:
Madame Morrible... What are you doing here?

Morrible:
I have something for you. She Hands Her A Small Wand.

Galinda:
Gasps. Madame... a training wand... How can I ever express my graditution?

Morrible:
Oh, don't thank me! This was your roommate's idea, not mine.

Galinda:
What? Elphaba?

Morrible:
Miss Elphaba requested that I include you in sorcery class. She insisted I tell you this very night or she would quit the seminar.

Galinda:
But... why?

Morrible:
I have no idea. My personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you'll prove me wrong... I doubt you will.

She Leaves. Fiyero Comes Up To Galinda.

Fiyero:
What is it?

Galinda:
I got what I wanted...

Fiyero:
Then what's the matter?

Galinda:
Nothing...

Fiyero:
Good. Let's dance...

They Begin To Dance As Elphaba Walks In. They Stop As All The Students Gasp And Make Comments About The Way She Is Dressed. People Then Start Laughing.

Fiyero:
Who in Oz is this?

Galinda:
My roommate... please, don't ... stare!

Fiyero:
How can you help it?

Elphaba Takes Off The Hat, Noticing The Comments. She Waits, Then Puts It Back On And Begins To Dance. She Is Alone. There Is No Music.

Fiyero:
Well I'll say this, she doesn't give a twig about what anyone else thinks.

Galinda:
Of course does, she just pretends not to... I feel awful...

Fiyero:
Why? It's not like it's your fault.

Galinda:
Excuse me... She Walks Over To Elphaba and Clears Her Throat. May I cut in?

Galinda Begins Dancing Just As Horribly. The Students Now Accept It, And Begin To Dance Again As The Music Starts.

All:

DANCING THROUGH LIFE, DOWN AT THE OZDUST

IF ONLY BECAUSE DUST IS WHAT WE COME TO

AND THE STRANGE THING, YOUR LIFE COULD END UP CHANGING

WHILE YOU'RE DANCING THROUGH
