I COULDN'T BE HUMBLER

BECAUSE HAPPY IS WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...

Morrible:
And Glinda, dear, we're happy for you! As Press Secretary,

I have striven to ensure that all of Oz knows the story of your braverism! How I vividly remember...

THE DAY YOU WERE FIRST SUMMONED

TO AN AUDIENCE WITH OZ,

AND ALTHOUGH HE WOULD NOT TELL YOU WHY INITIALLY

WHEN YOU BOWED BEFORE HIS THROWN

HE DECREED YOU'D HENCE BE KNOWN

AS GLINDA THE GOOD

OFFICIALLY!

Fiyero:
That's not how you described it to me.

Glinda:
Oh no, not exactly, but Whispers we'll talk about it later.

Morrible:

THEN WITH A JEALOUS SQUEEE

Ozian:

I HEAR THAT SHE CAN SHED HER SKIN AS EASILY AS A SNAKE!

Ozian:

I HEAR SOME REBEL ANIMALS ARE GIVING HER FOOD AND SHELTER!

Ozian:

I HEAR HER SOUL IS SO UNCLEAN, PURE WATER CAN MELT HER!

Fiyero:
What?

Ozians:

MELT HER! PLEASE SOMEBODY GO AND MELT HER!

Fiyero:
Do you hear that?! Water will melt her? People are so empty-headed they'll believe anything!

Glinda:
Excuse me just a tick-tock!

Her And Fiyero Talk Aside.

Fiyero:
I can't just stand here grinning pretending to go along with all of this!

Glinda:
Do you think I like to hear them say those awful things about her? I hate it!

Fiyero:
Then what are we doing here? Let's go, let's get out of here!

Glinda:
We can't leave now, not when people are looking to us to raise their spirits.

Fiyero:
You can't leave, because you can't resist this. And that is the truth.

Glinda:
Maybe I can't. Is that so wrong? Who could?

Fiyero:
You know who could. Who has.

Glinda:
Fiyero, I miss her too, but we can't just stop living. No one has searched harder for her than you. But don't you see? She doesn't want to be found. We have to face it.

Fiyero:
You're right. I'm sorry, you're right. And if it's going tol make you happy, of course I'll marry you.

Glinda:
But it'll make you happy too, right?

Fiyero:
You know me... I'm always happy. He Runs Off.

Glinda:
Fiyero! Thanks plenty dearest! He's gone to fetch me a refreshment, he's so thoughtful that way!

THAT'S WHY I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

NO, I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

THOUGH IT IS I ADMIT, THE TINIEST BIT

UNLIKE I ANTICIPATED,

BUT I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

SIMPLY COULDN'T BE HAPPIER...

Well, not simply...

'CUZ GETTING YOUR DREAMS, IT'S STRANGE BUT IT SEEMS

A LITTLE, WELL, COMPLICATED...

THERE'S A KIND OF A SORT OF COST

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS GET LOST...

THERE ARE BRIDGES YOU CROSSED YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU CROSSED UNTIL YOU'VE CROSSED!

AND IF THAT JOY THAT THRILL

DOESN'T THRILL LIKE YOU THINK IT WILL...

STILL... WITH THIS PERFECT FINALE

THE CHEERS AND THE BALLYHOO

WHO WOULDN'T BE HAPPIER?

SO I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER

BECAUSE HAPPY IS WHAT HAPPENS

WHEN ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...

WELL, ISN'T IT?

HAPPY IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR DREAMS COME...

TRUE!!!!

Ozians:

WE LOVE YOU GLINDA IF WE MAY BE SO FRANK!

Glinda:

THANK GOODNESS!

Ozians:

FOR ALL THIS JOY WE KNOW WHO WE'VE GOT TO THANK!

THANK GOODNESS!

THAT MEANS THE WIZARD, GLINDA...

Glinda:

AND FIANCE!

Ozians:

THEY COULDN'T BE GOODLIER

SHE COULDN'T BE LOVLIER

WE COULDN'T BE LUCKIER!

Glinda:

[Scene 2 - Elphaba & Nessa Reunite]

The Scene Opens At The Governer's House In Munchkinland.

Boq:
Will there be anything else, Madame?

Nessarose:
I've asked you to call me Nessarose, remember?

Boq:
Yes, Madame. He Exits.

Nessarose:
Boq...

Elphaba's Voice Is Heard Inside A Closet.

Elphaba:
Well, it seems the beautiful only get more beautiful, Nessarose Screams while the green just get greener.

Nessarose Is Scared And Confused.

Elphaba Steps Out Of The Closet.

Elphaba:
I'm sorry. Did I scare you? I seem to have that effect on people. It's good to see you.

Nessarose:
What are you doing here?

Elphaba:
Well, there's no place like home. I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I need father's help. I need him to stand with me.

Nessarose:
That's impossible.

Elphaba:
No, no it's not. Not if you ask him. You know he'll listen to you.

Nessarose:
Father's dead.

Elphaba:
What?

Nessarose:
He's dead. I'm the governor... Well what did you expect? After he learned what you'd done,

how you'd disgraced u,s he died... of shame. Embarrassed to death.

Elphaba:
Good, I'm glad. It's better that way.

Nessarose:
That's a wicked thing to say.

Elphaba:
No, it's true. Because now it's just us. You can help me and together we can...

Nessarose:
Elphaba, shut up! First of all, I can't harbor a fugitive, I'm an un-elected official!

And why should I help you? You fly around Oz, trying to rescue animals you've never even met,

and not once have you ever thought to use your powers to rescue me!

ALL OF MY LIFE, I'VE DEPENDED ON YOU

HOW DO YOU THINK THAT FEELS?

ALL OF MY LIFE I'VE DEPENDED ON YOU

AND THIS HIDEOUS CHAIR WITH WHEELS!

SCROUNGING FOR SCRAPS OF PITY TO PICK UP

AND LONGING TO KICK UP

MY HEELS...

Elphaba:
Nessa, there isn't a spell for everything! The power is mysterious.

It's not like coddling up a pair of... She Pulls Out The Grimmerie From Her Bag. Wait.

Nessarose:
What are you doing?

Elphaba Begins Chanting.

Nessarose:
What is that? Ah! My shoes! It feels like... like they're on fire! What have you done to my shoes???

She Lifts Her Dress, Revealing The Ruby Slippers. Nessarose Stands, But Falls. Elphaba Gives Her A Hand.

Nessarose:
No, don't help me. She Stands.

Elphaba:
Oh, Nessa, at last...

I'VE DONE WHAT LONG AGO I SHOULD

AND FINALLY FROM THESE POWERS SOMETHING GOOD

FINALLY SOMETHING GOOD...

Nessarose:
Boq! Boq! Come quickly!

Elphaba:
Boq?

Nessarose:
Boq! Come here at once!

Elphaba:
No! Nessa, listen, nobody can know I'm here!

Nessarose Runs Behind The Closet As Boq Enters.

Boq:
Yes, what is it, Madame?

Elphaba:
Boq...

Boq:
What are you doing here? You stay back!

Elphaba:
Boq, it's just me, I'm not going to hurt you!

Boq:
No! You're lying! That's all you ever do! You and your sister! She's as wicked as you are!

Elphaba:
What are you talking about?

Boq:
I'm talking about my life. The little that's left of it. I'm not free to leave Munchkinland, none of us are.

Ever since she took power, she's been stripping the Munchkins of our rights...

and we didn't have that many to begin with! And do you know why?

Nessarose Reveals Herself In The Chair.

Nessarose:
To keep you here, with me. But none of that matters anymore. Look.

Nessarose Stands Up.

Boq:
To Elphaba. You did this for her?

Nessarose:
For both of us!

Boq:
Nessa, this changes everything.

Nessarose:
I know.

Boq:

LISTEN NESSA...

Nessarose:
What?

Boq:

UH NESSA, SURELY NOW I'LL MATTER LESS TO YOU

AND YOU WON'T MIND MY LEAVING HERE TONIGHT...

Nessarose:
Leaving?

Boq:
Yes...

THAT BALL THAT'S BEING STAGED

ANNOUNCING GLINDA IS ENGAGED

Nessarose:
Glinda?

Boq:

YES NESSA THAT'S RIGHT!

I'VE GOT TO GO APPEAL TO HER

EXPRESS THE WAY I FEEL TO HER

Oh, Nessa, I lost my heart to Glinda from the moment I first saw her. You know that.

Nessarose:
Lost your heart? Well, we'll see about that...

Elphaba:
Nessa, let him go...

Nessarose:

DID YOU THINK I'D LET YOU LEAVE ME HERE FLAT?

Boq:
Don't come any closer!

YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE YOUR HEART TO ME, I TELL YOU!

IF I HAVE TO... I HAVE TO...

Sees The Grimmerie.

MAGIC SPELL YOU...

She Grabs The Book.

Nessarose:
Ah... Tum... Tah... Tae...

Elphaba Reveals Herself.

Elphaba:
Nessa, stop!

Boq:
What is she doing?!

Elphaba:
No, Nessa, you're pronouncing the words all wrong!

Elphaba:
Nessa!

Nessarose:
Boq! What is it?

Boq:
Gasps. My heart feels like it's... shrinking.

Nessarose:
Elphaba, do something!

Elphaba:
I can't! You can't reverse a spell once it's been cast!

Nessarose:
So what do we do?

Boq Falls Into Nessa's Empty Wheel Chair. Elphaba Wheels Him Behind The Closet.

Nessarose:
Elphaba, do something!

Nessarose:
This is all your fault! If you hadn't shown me that horrendible book.

Elphaba:
I have to find another spell... it's the only thing that might work. She Goes Behind The Closet As Well.

Nessarose:
Save him, please!

JUST SAVE HIM, MY POOR BOQ, MY SWEET MY BRAVE,

DON'T LEAVE ME 'TIL MY SORRY LIFE HAS CEASED...

Elphaba Wheels The Chair Out, Which Is Not Facing The Audience And Is Seen Casting A Spell.

ALL ALONE AND LOVELESS HERE

JUST THE GIRL IN THE MIRROR

JUST HER AND ME! THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST!

WE DESERVE EACH OTHER...

Nessarose:
Well... what about his heart?

Elphaba:
It's all right. He won't need one now. I have to go. I have business to attend to in the Emerald City.

Nessa, I have done everything I could for you but it has never been enough and it never will be...

She Leaves.

Nessarose:
Elphaba, wait! Elphaba!

Boq Wakes Up.

Boq:
Where am I? What happened?

Nessarose:
Nothing, Boq, you just fell asleep... and...

He Sits Up, Squeaking. He Is Made Of Tin. Nessarose Screams.

Boq:
What is it, what's wrong?

Nessarose:
No, it wasn't me it was her! I tried to stop her.

Boq Screams Uncontrollably And Runs Off.

Nessarose:
Boq, please listen! It was Elphaba! Boq! It was Elphaba!!!
