Every day, more wicked
Every day, the terror grows
All of Oz is ever on alert
That’s the way with Wicked
Spreading fear where e’er she goes
Seeking out new victims she can hurt
Like some terrible green blizzard, throughout the land she flies...
Defaming our poor Wizard with her calumnies and lies
She lies!
Save us from the Wicked
Shield us so we won’t be hexed
Give us warning, where will she strike next?
Where will she strike next?
Where will she strike... next?
Fellow Ozians
As terrifying as terror is, let us put aside our panic for this one day...
And celebrate!
Oh, what a celebration we’ll have today!
Thank goodness!
Let’s have a celebration the Glinda way!
Thank goodness!
Finally a day that’s totally Wicked Witch free
We couldn’t be happier
Thank goodness!
And thank goodness for you, Glinda
And for your handsome swain
Our new Captain of the Guard!
You’ve been in the forefront of the hunt for the Wicked Witch, haven’t you, Captain?
Well, I don’t think of her as a wicked witch
So, captain
How does it feel?
Frustrating
But I became Captain of the Guard to find her, and I’ll keep searching
No, being engaged!
Congratulotions!
This is an engagement party?
Surprised?
Yes
Good, we hoped you’d be...
The Wizard and I
We couldn’t be happier
Right dear?
Couldn’t be happier
Right here
Look what we’ve got
A fairy tale plot
Our very own happy ending
Where we couldn’t be happier
True dear?
Couldn’t be happier
And we’re happy to share our ending vicariously with all of you
He couldn’t look handsomer
I couldn’t feel humbler
We couldn’t be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Glinda, dear
We are happy for you!
As press secretary, I have striven to ensure
That all Oz knows the story of your braverism!
How vividly I remember...
The day you were first summoned to an audience with Oz
Although he would not tell you why initially
When you bowed before his throne, he decreed you’d hence be known
As Glinda the Good, officially!
That’s not how you described it to me
Well, not exactly, but we’ll talk about that later
Then with a jealous squeal
The Wicked Witch burst from concealment
Where she had been lurking surrepticially!
I hear she has an extra eye that always remains awake!
I hear that she can shed her skin as easily as a snake!
I hear some rebel Animals are giving her food and shelter!
I hear her soul is so unclean, pure water can melt her!
What?
Melt her!
Please, somebody go and melt her!
Do you hear that? Water will melt her?
Shh... Dearest–
People are so empty-headed, they’ll believe anything!
Excuse us just a tick-tock!
Well I can’t just stand here grinning, pretending to go along with all this
Fiyero, do you think I like hearing them say those awful things about her?
I hate it!
Then what are we doing here?
Let’s go! Let’s get out of here!
I can’t, I can’t leave now–
When people are looking to me to raise their spirits
You can’t leave, because you can’t resist this
That’s the truth
Well, maybe I can’t! Is that so wrong?
Who could?
You know who could
And who has
Oh 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
You’ve gotta face it
You’re right
And look, if it’ll make you happy, of course I’ll marry you
But it’ll make you happy too, right?
Well, you know me...
I’m always happy
Fiyero!
Uh yes, thanks plenty dearest!
Uh, 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...
Cause 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 cross
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
Isn’t it?
Happy is what happens
When your dreams come true...
(We love you Glinda, if we may be so frank) When your dreams come true...
Thank goodness!
For all this joy, we know who we’ve got to thank
Thank Goodness!
That means The Wizard, Glinda - And fiancé!
They... couldn’t be goodlier
She couldn’t be lovelier
We couldn’t be luckier...
I couldn’t be happier!
(Thank goodness!) I couldn’t be happier!
Today!
Will there be anything else, Madame?
I’ve asked you to call me Nessarose
Remember?
Yes, Madame
Boq?
Well, it seems the beautiful get more beautiful...
While the green just get greener
I’m sorry. Did I scare you?
I seem to have that effect on people
It’s good to see you
What are you doing here?
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
- That’s impossible - No, it isn’t!
Not if you ask him
He’ll do it for you, Nessa, you know he will
Father’s dead
What?
He’s dead
I’m the Governor now
Well, what did you expect?
After he learned what you’d done
How you disgraced us, he died of shame
Embarrassed to death
Good
I’m glad, it’s better
That’s a wicked thing to say!
No, it’s just true!
Because now it’s just us!
You can help me, and together we can–
- Oh Elphaba, shut up! You can help me, and together we can–
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
Nessa
There isn’t a spell for everything
The power is mysterious, it’s not like cobbling up a pair of...
Wait...
Am - bu - lahn - dah - re
Pah to pah poot
Am bu lahn das ca
Cal da pess
What are you doing?
Lau fen ah tum
Pe de pe de
What does that mean? Cal da pess
Am bu lahn dah re
Pah to pah poot
Am bu lahn das ca Ah! My shoes! Ah!
Cal da pess Ah! My shoes! Ah!
Lau fen ah to Ah! My shoes! Ah!
Lau fen ah to It feels like they’re on fire!
Lau fen ah tum It feels like they’re on fire!
Pe de pe de It feels like they’re on fire!
Cal da pess What have you done to my shoes?
Ah!
No!
Don’t help me
Nessa, at last...
I’ve done what long ago I should
And finally from these powers, something good
Finally!
Something good!
Boq! Boq!
Come quickly!
Boq?
Boq! Come here at once!
Nessa, wait, no one can know I’m here!
Yes, what is it, Madame Govern...
You!
- Boq... - Stay back!
Boq!? It’s just me, I’m not going to hurt you!
You’re lying!
That’s all you ever do!
You and your sister, she’s as wicked as you are!
Boq? What are you talking about?
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?
To keep you here, with me
But none of that matters anymore
Look!
You did this, for her?
For both of us!
Oh Nessa, this changes everything!
I know!
- Nessa... - Yes?
Uh, Nessa
Surely now I’ll matter less to you
And you won’t mind my leaving here tonight...
What? Leaving?
Yes!
That ball that’s being staged
Announcing Glinda is engaged to Fiyero
Glinda?
Yes, Nessa that’s right!
And I’ve got to go appeal to her
Express the way I feel to her...
Oh, Nessa
I lost my heart to Glinda the moment I first saw her
You know that
Lost your heart?
Well, we’ll see about that...
Nessa, let him go!
Did you think I’d let you leave me here flat?
Don’t come any closer!
You’re going to lose your heart to me, I tell you!
If I have to... I have to...
Magic spell you...
Ah toom ... Tah - take...?
- Nessa, stop! It’s dangerous! Ah toom ... Tah - take...?
Wh-what’s she doing?
You’re pronouncing the words all wrong!
I’m warning you! Don’t try to stop me or–
No! Nessa!
Boq! What is it?
My heart...
It feels...
It feels like it’s shrinking!
Elphaba, do something!
I can’t!
You can’t reverse a spell once it’s been cast!
Then what will we do?
This is all your fault!
If you hadn’t shown me that horrendible book!
Hush, will you!?
I have to find another spell...
It’s the only thing that might work
Save him
Please just save him
My poor Boq, my sweet, my brave him
Don’t leave me, till my sorry life has ceased...
Alone and loveless here
With just the girl in the mirror
Just her and me!
The Wicked Witch of the East!
We deserve each other...
He’s asleep
Oh! What about his heart?
It’s all right...
He won’t need one now
I have to go to the Emerald City
What happened to those Monkeys is my fault
I’ve got to set them free
You’re not going back to save some monkeys!
You’re going to find Fiyero
But it’s too late
Elphaba, please! Don’t leave me here!
Nessa... I’ve done everything I could for you
And it hasn’t been enough
And nothing ever will be
No, Elphaba, wait
Elphaba!
Where am I?
What happened?
Nothing...
You just fell asleep... and... and–
What is it, what’s wrong?
It wasn’t me, it was her!
I tried to stop her, Boq–
Boq, Boq please I still–!
It was Elphaba, Boq!
It was Elphaba!
I knew you’d be back
No! Just hear me out! I don’t want to harm you
Well you have, you have harmed me!
I know that... And I regret it, Elphaba...
Stay where you are! I’m setting those Monkeys free!
And if you try to interfere, or call your guards...
I’m not going to call anyone!
Truth is, I’m happy to see you again
It gets pretty lonely for me around here
I know, you must get lonely too
You don’t know the first thing about me
Oh, I do
I know the real reason you came back here
It’s why everyone comes to see the Wizard
So I’ll grant their heart’s desire
I don’t want anything from you
Sure you do! You want to stop fighting
Stop running
Elphaba, you’ve been so strong through all of this
Aren’t you tired of being the strong one?
Wouldn’t you like someone to take care of you?
Please
Can’t we start again?
Don’t you think I wish I could?
I would give anything to turn back the clocks
Go back to that time when I actually believed...
That you were wonderful!
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz!
No one believed in you more than I did
Elphaba, try to understand
I never had a family of my own
I was always traveling
So, I guess I just wanted to give the citizens of Oz, everything
So you lied to them?
Only verbally. Besides...
They were the lies they wanted to hear
I never asked for this or planned it in advance
I was merely blown here by the winds of chance
I never saw myself as a Solomon or Socrates
I knew who I was, one of your dime a dozen mediocrities
Then suddenly I’m here, respected, worshipped even
Just because the folks in Oz needed someone to believe in
Does it surprise you I got hooked, and all too soon
What can I say? I got carried away
And not just by balloon...
Wonderful
They called me wonderful
So I said, "wonderful"
If you insist
I will be wonderful
And they said "wonderful!"
Believe me it’s hard to resist
’Cuz it feels wonderful
They think I’m wonderful
Hey look who’s wonderful
This com-fed hick
Who said it might be keen
To build a town of green
And a wonderful road of yellow brick!
But...
It’s all just smoke and mirrors!
And that’s the truth!
The truth is not a thing, a fact or reason
The truth is just what everyone agrees on
Where I come from
We believe all sorts of things that aren’t true...
We call it History
A man’s called a traitor
Or liberator
A rich man’s a thief or philanthropist
Is one a crusader? Or ruthless invader!
It’s all in which label is able to persist
There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don’t exist...
They call me wonderful
So I am wonderful!
In fact, it’s so much who I am, it’s part of my name!
And with my help, you can be the same...
At long, long last receive your due long overdue
Elphaba: the most celebrated or the rehabilitated
There’ll be such a whoopdee doo!
A celebration throughout Oz that’s all to do with you!
Wonderful! They’ll call you wonderful!
It does sound wonderful!
Trust me it’s fun!
When you are wonderful
I could be wonderful!
Yes!
Wonderful, wonderful–
Wait!
I’ll accept your proposition...
Wonderful!
On one condition...
Yes?
You set those Monkeys free!
Done
Fly! Fly!
You’re free!
Fly away!
Fly, Chistery, you’re free!
Fly away!
You under the blanket!
No! No! Wait!
Get up! No! No! Wait!
No! It can’t be! Dr. Dillamond...
Elphaba, we couldn’t let him continue speaking out...
Dr. Dillamond, are you alright?
Don’t be afraid, it’s me, Elphaba
Dr. Dillamond, don’t you remember me?
Bahhhhh
Can’t you speak?
Bahhhhh!
Do you want to know my heart’s desire?
It’s to fight you... until the day I die!
Guards, guards!
Halt! Are you alright, your Ozness?
Fiyero!
I don’t believe it...
Oh Fiyero! Thank Oz...
- Silence witch! Oh Fiyero! Thank Oz...
There’s a goat on the lam, sir
Never mind all that, just...
Fetch me some water
Water, sir?
You heard me, as much as you can carry
Yes, sir!
Fiyero... not you too!
I said silence!
No!
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 Dillamond later, now get out of here
Fiyero, you frightened me
I thought you might have changed
I have changed
What’s going on?
Elphie? Oh!
Oh, thank Oz you’re alive!
Oh, you shouldn’t have come
If anyone discoverates you...
Glinda, you’d better go
Fiyero, what are you doing?
Please, just go back to the ball
Your Ozness, he means no disrespectation
Please understand, we all went to school together
Elphaba!
Fiyero, have you misplaced your mind? What are you doing?
I’m going with her!
What?
What–what are you saying?
That all this time, the two of you...
Behind my back?
Glinda no! It wasn’t like that!
Well, it was...
But...
It wasn’t
Let’s go... Let’s go!
Fine, go!
You deserve each other!
Here, have a swig of this
- It dulls the pain - No, thank you
Is it true? Is it true your betrothed has brought her into custody?
I’m afraid our new Captain of the Guard had other plans
What? She’s not been captured?
Quite the opposite!
And considering how well she eluded us last time...
We must smoke her out, force her to show herself
But how?
Her sister
What’s that? What did she say?
Use her sister
Spread a rumor, make her think her sister is in trouble
She’ll fly to her side and you’ll have her
Oh, that’s good!
Now, if your Ozness will excuse me, I have a slight headache
I think I’ll lie down
A rumor won’t do it
Elphaba’s too smart
Far too smart
Perhaps, a change in the weather...
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
Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You’re with me tonight
My wildest dreamings could not foresee
Lying beside you with you wanting me
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
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
Every moment, as long as you’re mine
I’ll wake up my body, and make up for lost time
Say there’s no future for us as a pair
And though I may know
I don’t care
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
What is it?
It’s just...
For the first time I feel...
Wicked
I just wish...
What?
I wish I could be beautiful... for you
Elphaba...
Don’t tell me that I am, you don’t have to lie to me
It’s not lying
It’s looking at things another way
Look, you and Glinda will make up
And someday, you’ll look back–
Shh! Listen...
Do you hear that?
It sounds like somebody in pain
It’s just the wind
My sister is in danger!
What? How do you know?
I don’t know! I just do!
Elphaba, what is it? What’s wrong?
There! Don’t you see it?
No, what do you see?
It doesn’t make any sense! It’s a house!
But it’s flying through the sky!
I have to go to Nessa!
I’ll come with you!
No, you mustn’t, it’s too dangerous!
Listen to me
My family has a castle in Kiamo Ko
No one’s ever there except for the sentries who watch over it
We’ve never lived in it
Where do you live?
The other castle
Oh, of course!
It’s the perfect hideout
Tunnels, secret passageways, you’ll be safe there
We will see each other again, won’t we?
Elphaba, we’re going to be together always
You can see houses flying through the sky
Can’t you see that?
That’s right, just take that one road, the whole time
I hope they don’t get lost, I’m so bad at giving directions
Oh, Nessa...
What a touching display of grief
What?
I don’t believe we have anything further to say to one another
I wanted something to remember her by
All that was left of her were those shoes!
And now that wretched little farm girl has walked off with them!
So I would appreciate some time alone to say goodbye to my sister
Nessa...
Nessa forgive me...
Elphie, don’t blame yourself
It’s dreadful, it is
To have a house fall on you
But accidents will happen
You call this an accident?
Yes
Um... maybe not an accident...
Well, then what would you call it?
Well... A regime change
Caused by a bizarre and unexpected twister of fate
So you think cyclones just appear out of the blue?
I don’t know, I never–
No, of course you never!
You’re too busy telling everyone how wonderful everything is!
Well, I’m a public figure now
People expect me to–
Lie!?
Be encouraging!
And what exactly have you been doing besides riding around on that filthy old thing?
Well, we can’t all come and go by bubble
Whose invention was that, the Wizard’s?
Of course!
Even if it wasn’t I’m sure he’d still take credit for it
Yes, well, a lot of us are taking things that don’t belong to us, aren’t we?
Now wait just a clock tick
I know it’s 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
Feel better?
Yes, I do
Good...
Ah!
So do I!
Attention! Halt! In the name of the Wizard!
- Let me go! - Let her go! I almost had her!
Sorry it took us so long to get here, miss
I can’t believe you would sink this low!
To use my sister’s death as a trap to capture me!?
What!? No! I only meant...
Let the green girl go!
- Fiyero, how in Oz!? - Fiyero...
Let her go!
Or explain to all Oz how the Wizard’s guards watched
While Glinda the Good was slain
Oh, Fiyero, no...
I said let her go!
Elphaba, go, now
No, not without you!
Fiyero...
Hush!
Now! Go...
Do it
Seize him!
No? No!
What are you doing? Stop!
In the name of Goodness, stop!
Don’t you see?
He was never going to harm me, he just...
He loves her
Glinda, I’m so sorry
Take him up to that field there!
No, please!
Put him on one of those poles until he tells us where the witch went
Don’t hurt him! Please! Don’t hurt him!
No!
Fiyero!
Eleka nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Let his flesh not be torn, let his blood leave no stain
Though 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 ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen
Eleka nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka... Eleka...
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 can not succeed
Fiyero, saving you
I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again
Ever again!
No good deed, will I do...
Again
Go and hunt her!
And find her!
And kill her!
Good fortune, witch hunters!
- Go and hunt her! Good fortune, witch hunters!
And find her!
And kill her!
- Kill the Witch! And kill her!
Wickedness must be punished
Evil effectively eliminated
Wickedness must be punished
Kill the witch!
And this is more than just a service to the Wizard
I have a personal score to settle with Elph–
With the Witch!
It’s due to her, I’m made of tin
Her spell made this occur
So for once, I’m glad I’m heartless
I’ll be heartless killing her!
And I am not the only one
Come on
Come on! Tell them what she did to you in class that day!
How you were just a cub and she cub-napped you!
You see, the lion also has a grievance to repay
If she’d let him fight his own battles when he was young
He wouldn’t be a coward today
No, that’s not how it happened!
Madame, we’ve got to stop this, it’s gone too far!
Oh, I think Elphaba can take care of herself
Madame
Something’s been troubling me about Nessarose and that cyclone...
Yes, I suppose it was...
Just her time
Was it?
Or did you...?
Now, you listen to me, missy!
The rest of Oz may have fallen for that "aren’t I good" routine
But I know better
You wanted this from the beginning
And now you’re getting what you wanted
So just smile and wave
And SHUT UP!
Good fortune, good fortune witch hunters!
Wickedness must be punished
Brave witch hunters I would join you if I could
Because wickedness must be punished
Punished
Punished!
But good!
Oh, for Oz’s sake, stop crying!
I can’t listen to it anymore!
You want to see your aunt Em? And your uncle what’s-his-name-again?
Then get those shoes off your feet!
Squealy little brat
Takes a dead woman’s shoes
Must’ve been raised in a barn!
Chistery! Chi... Oh, there you are
Where are the others?
Chistery, please...
If you don’t at least try to keep speaking–
Go away
They’re coming for you
- Go away! They’re coming for you
Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog Dodo
Elphie, please I know you don’t want to hear this
But somebody’s got to say it
You are out of control!
I mean, come on! They’re just shoes, let it go
Please Elphie, you can’t go on like this
I can do anything I want
I’m the Wicked Witch of the West!
Oh, at last! What took you so long?
What’s this? Why are you bothering me with this?
What is it?
What’s wrong?
It’s Fiyero, isn’t it?
Is he...
We’ve seen his face for the last time
Oh...
You’re right
It’s time
I surrender
What?
Elphie
Elphie, what is it?
You can’t be found here! You must go!
- No! - You must, please!
Then I’ll go and tell them, I’ll tell everyone the truth!
No! They’ll just turn against you
- I don’t care! - But I do!
Promise me, you won’t try to clear my name
No... No!
Promise
Alright... Alright, I promise
I don’t understand
I’m limited
Just look at me
I’m limited
And just look at you, you can do all I couldn’t do
Glinda
Here
Go on, take it
No, Elphie, you know I can’t read that
Well then, you’ll have to learn
Because now it’s up to you
For both of us
Now it’s up to you
Elphie...
You’re the only friend I’ve ever had
And I’ve had so many friends...
But only one that mattered
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 comet 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
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 its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness for the things I’ve done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know there’s blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore!
Like a comet pulled from orbit
- Like a ship blown from its mooring Like a comet pulled from orbit
- Like a ship blown from its mooring As it passes a sun
- By the wind off the sea As it passes a sun
- By the wind off the sea Like a stream that meets a boulder
- Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood Like a stream that meets a boulder
- Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better
And, because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
What was that?
Hurry, no one can know you’re here
And goodness knows
- Hide yourself! And goodness knows
The Wicked’s lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
Elphie?
Mis– Miss Glinda...
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 everything...
Glinda! Ah, I thought you’d be out festivating
This was Elphaba’s
What?
What’s that you say?
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 room
You offered me a drink from it
This belonged to her mother?
Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty
Oh my Lord...
I am a sentimental man
Who always longed to be...
A father...
So she was yours all along...
That’s it
That’s why she had such power!
She was a child...
...of both Worlds!
I want you to leave Oz
I’ll make the pronouncement myself
That the strains of Wizardship have been too much
And you’re taking an indefinite leave of absence
Did you hear what I said?!
Yes, Your Goodness...
You’d better go get your balloon ready!
Guards!
Glinda, dear
I know we’ve had our minuscule differentiations in the past–
Madame, have you ever considered how you’d fare in captivity?
What?
Captivity
Prison!
Personally, I can’t imagine you’ll hold up very well
You see, it is my personal opinion that you do not have what it takes
I hope you prove me wrong!
I doubt you will!
Take her away!
Good news!
She’s dead!
The Witch of the West is dead!
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us, here in Oz, is dead!
Good news!
Good news
It worked!
Fiyero?
Oh! Fiyero! I thought you’d never get here
Go ahead, touch, I don’t mind
You did the best you could
You saved my life
You’re still beautiful
You don’t have to lie to me
It’s not lying
It’s looking at things another way
No one mourns the Wicked
Now at last, she’s dead and gone
Now at last there’s joy throughout the land
Fellow Ozians
Friends...
We have been through a frightening time
And there will be other times and other things that frighten us
But if you’ll let me
I’d like to try to help
I’d like to try to be Glinda the Good
Good news
It’s time to go
We can never come back to Oz, can we?
No
I only wish...
What?
That Glinda could know that we’re alive
She can’t know
Not if we want to be safe
No one can ever know
Good news
Come
Who can say
If I’ve been changed for the better
But...
Because I knew you...
No one mourns the Wicked
Because I knew you...
I have been changed...
No one mourns the Wicked
Wicked!
