Glinda, exactly how dead is she?

Because there has been so much rumor and speculation...

let me tell you the whole story.

According to the Time Dragon Clock...

...the melting occurred at the 13th hour.

The direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child.

Yes, the Wicked Witch of the West is dead.

Good news! The Witch! She's dead!

Come out! She's gone!

She's dead!

Munchkins, wake up!

Watch out! Come on! Come on!

Good news! The Wicked Witch is dead!

- But, Miss Glinda? - Yes?

Why does Wickedness happen?

That's a good question.

One many people find confusifying.

Are people born Wicked?

Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?

After all,

the Wicked Witch had a childhood.

She had a father,

who, by the way, had been appointed governor of Munchkinland.

I'm off to the Assembly, dear.

And she had a mother, as so many do.

♪ How I hate to go and leave you lonely ♪

♪ That's all right It's only just one night ♪

♪ But know that you're here in my heart ♪

♪ While I'm out of your sight ♪

Like every family,

they had their secrets.

♪ So have another drink of green elixir ♪

♪ And we'll have ourselves A little mixer ♪

And one thing led to another,

as it so often does.

But from the moment the Witch was born, she was...

Dulcibear!

...well...

...different.

It's coming!

Now?

The baby's coming.

Oh. And how!

♪ I see a nose ♪

♪ I see a curl ♪

♪ It's a healthy, perfect Lovely, little-- ♪

Oh, sweet Oz!

What is it? What's wrong?

♪ How can it be? ♪

♪ What does it mean? ♪

♪ It's uncanny ♪

♪ It's obscene ♪

♪ Like a froggy, ferny cabbage ♪

♪ The baby is unnaturally... ♪

Green.

Take it away.

Take it away!

It's all right, little one.

We'll look after you.

Oh.

So, her nanny, Dulcibear, raised her.

And as she grew, so did her challenges.

Dulcibear.

Coming, Governor.

Little one, watch your baby sister. Just a clock tick.

Oh, Nessarose. Don't you worry. I'm here.

Now, you want to see something amazing?

Yeah.

This is all about our wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Do you know how he got here?

No.

From the sky. In a balloon. See?

Then, he built a city made of emeralds,

'cause he loves emeralds.

Even though they are green.

And Nessa, you want to know a secret?

If you get to meet him, he grants your heart's desire.

Elphaba Thropp, green on top.

Someone run and tell her that everyone can smell her.

- Ew, green and ugly? - She's so green.

Where did you come from? You don't belong here.

- She's as green as the trees! - I do not like that.

So green.

Stop!

- Elphaba. - Ow!

Elphaba Thropp.

What have you done this time?

Oh. That's okay. Come to Daddy.

And now you've made your sister cry.

Let's go get you a beautiful piece of cake

for the beautiful girl.

It's all right, little one. He shouldn't have blamed you.

Dulcibear.

Hmm.

And so...

it couldn't have been easy.

Whoo! Yep.

Well, this has been fun.

As you can imagine,

I have much to attend to with the Wizard's unexpected departure.

So if there are no further questions, I'm gonna go.

Glinda,

is it true you were her friend?

What?

Sorry. One sec.

What?

Is it true you were her friend?

Friend?

Yes.

I-I mean, I did know her.

That is,

our paths did cross.

At school.

But you must understand,

it was a long time ago.

Hi.

Oh, it's Galinda.

Hi! Galinda!

Oh, we're so proud of you!

Thank you. I love you. Just remember,

- it's not goodbye, it's farewell. - We love you.

- You have all your cases? - Yes.

- And you will write? - Yes.

- I love you. It's that time. - My darling.

Miss you already.

Popsicle, board the boat.

They are gonna miss me so much.

My parents don't even know I left.

Uh-- Uh...

I'm Boq.

I'm from Munchkinland.

I know we don't really know each other yet...

- You know what I believe, Bick? - ...but--

It's Bick-- It's Boq.

That strangers...

are just people I've never met.

Bye.

Oh, Oz.

What? What are you staring at?

Do I have something in my teeth?

No, it's just--

You're green.

I am?

Fine. Let's get this over with.

No, I am not seasick.

No, I did not eat grass as a child.

And, yes,

I've always been green.

Well,

I, for one, am so sorry

that you have been forced to live with...

this.

Is that so?

Yes.

And it is my intention

to major in sorcery.

So, if at some point, you wanted to address the, um...

problem.

Problem.

Perhaps I could help.

Oh.

- She's so good. She's so good. - You're so good. We love you.

Thank you.

All right.

Offering to help someone that you don't know

with skills that you don't have.

I'm sure everyone is duly impressed.

I could care less what others think.

- Couldn't. - What?

You "couldn't" care less what other people think.

Though, I--

I doubt that.

Elphaba.

Elphaba Thropp.

Ah. This is my younger sister, Nessarose.

As you can see, she's a perfectly acceptable color.

- Oh, my God. - Stop making a spectacle of yourself.

I was trying to be nice.

- You were so nice and good and correct. - Did I do something bad?

- I was-- - No.

- How did that come across? - I don't see color, but--

My precious little girl.

Father.

A parting gift.

Mother's jeweled shoes.

So they can all see how beautiful you are right down to your toes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. I love them.

Let me put them with your boxes.

Of course.

I shouldn't have sprouted off like that.

No, you shouldn't have.

Today is...

The start of your new life.

New friends.

New books.

I'm excited for you.

I'll miss you.

No, you won't.

You'll be having too good a time.

All new Shiz students,

please report to the quad.

- Don't help her. - Don't help me.

She'll be fine.

All new Shiz students, please report to the quad.

- Hey. Nice to meet you. - Hi. Nice to meet you too.

We should head back.

- Go with her. - What?

Just until she's safely settled in her room.

Make sure she has everything she needs.

Father, she's on her own now.

- I can't just-- - Just stop jabbering.

Just do what I say.

If anything should happen to her...

Thank you for your contribution to our university.

And rounding out the rest of our faculty, we have two scholars

eminent in their respective fields of forestry and agriculture...

...as well as Professor Mombi of the Biological Arts,

and, of course, the head of our History department, Dr. Dillamond.

You know, except for our wonderful Wizard,

true magic has become all too rare,

which is why we are privileged to have our esteemed Dean of Sorcery Studies,

Madame Morrible.

Oh.

Could you...

I don't--

Oh, my goodness. It's really her.

Welcome, new students.

And congratulotions for having been accepted to Shiz.

Whether you'll be studying law, logic or linguification,

I know I speak for my fellow faculty members

when I say we have nothing but the highest hopes

for some of you.

And now, Miss Coddle, if you please.

I am Miss Coddle, Head Shizstress.

And these are your dormitory designations and room assignments.

Good luck, and welcome to Shiz.

Madame Morrible, hi.

I am Galinda Upland, of the Upper Uplands.

If this is regarding room assignments...

Oh, thank you so much, but I've already been assigned a private suite.

This is about my application to your sorcery seminar.

Perhaps you recall my essay, "Magic Wands, need they have a point?"

Well, dear, I don't teach my seminar every semester.

Of course, if someone very special were to come along...

Exactly. This is why I wanted to talk to you. Um...

We'll be in touch.

There you are.

- Miss Nessarose, isn't it? - Yes.

- The Governor's daughter? - Mm-hmm.

How tragically beautiful you are.

It is such an honor to--

I'm the other daughter.

I'm beautifully tragic.

The other daughter?

Elphaba. What are you doing?

Well... [stammers] ...I wasn't made aware.

- I know. I was just-- - Not to fret.

Just a slight gulch.

We'll find some place to hide you.

I mean, house you.

That won't be necessary.

- I'm not enrolled. - Oh, good.

Why are you still here?

I'm sorry, Nessa. Father insisted--

Oh, the Governor made his concern for your sister quite apparent.

Wait.

Please assure him I am honored to help her.

- She doesn't need your help. - Stop. I just need to find my room.

- I'll bring you there myself. - Miss Coddle, I--

- Now, you have an entire staff... - Miss Coddle, I promised my father.

- ...at your disposal 24 hours a day... - Just stop, Miss Coddle--

- ...seven days a week... - She can do it alone.

- ...365 days-- - Please, you don't understand.

Stop!

Let her go!

No!

This was my chance, my new start.

I'm sorry, Nessa. I just--

I didn't--

Magic is merely the mind's attempt

to wrap itself around the impossible.

Yes, that was me.

To prepare you to expect the unexpected here at Shiz.

- Did you visually see that? - Yeah.

I simply must get into her seminar.

And speaking... ...of the unexpected.

Which of you would volunteer

- to share a room with-- - Ow. Ow.

Madame Morrible, um...

Thank you, dear.

That is very good of you.

What?

- Miss? - Elphaba.

Elphaba.

You can room with Miss Galinda.

What? I-- What?

Now, go. All of you, go.

Go.

And you.

- Come with me. - Of course.

Not you.

You.

I would like to teach you privately and take no other students.

Uh, thank you so much.

- What happened? - What happened?

Something is very wrong.

I didn't get my way.

- I need to lie down. - Yes.

- I need to lie down. - Get her.

- Go, go, go. - Just get her.

- How? - We need a pastry.

We need a pastry.

Thank you for covering for me.

And I'm humbled by your munificent offer,

but my father would never allow it.

Leave your father to me. I'll speak to him immediately.

So, how long have you had this talent?

Talent, uh--

No, uh--

Something just--

Something just takes over me, and--

Something I can't control.

And when it does,

bad things happen.

If you can learn to use your powers in the right way...

Boo!

All right. All right, everyone. Settle down.

Ladies and gentlemen, settle down.

Quiet! Quiet, everyone.

Now then,

I have read your most recent essays,

and I am amazed to report some progress.

Thank you.

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

Oh. Actually, it's Galinda. With a "Ga."

Yes, of course.

Glinda.

- No. - Not even close.

I don't see what the problem is.

You know, every other professor manages to pronouncify my name.

Maybe the pronuncifi-cation of your precious name

is not the sole focus of Dr. Dillamond's life.

Maybe Dr. Dillamond is not like every other professor.

Maybe some of us are just different.

Well, it seems the artichoke is steamed.

Oh, my--

The worst way to cook an artichoke.

Quiet, please. Please!

Yes, we goats lack upper front teeth,

which accounts for the mispronunciation, Miss Glinda.

You see, indeed,

some of us are different.

Now, you may have noticed that I am one of the last animal professors here at Shiz.

And it isn't encouraged to discuss this in our classes,

but there have been some great changes throughout Oz

with the rejection of animal culture.

However, there was a time, before you were born,

when life in Oz was different.

When one could walk these halls

and hear a snow leopard solving an equation,

or an antelope explicating a sonnet.

So, when and why did this change?

From what I've read, the Great Drought.

- Okay, excuse me. - Like, raise your hand.

Precisely.

Food grew scarce.

And when people are hungry and angry,

- well, then they begin to look for-- - Someone to blame.

Quite right, Miss Elphaba.

Yes, Miss Glinda?

It is Galinda.

Galinda. Galinda.

And I don't see why you can't just teach us history

instead of always harping on the past.

Because we cannot escape the past,

and we ignore it at our own peril.

The past helps explain our present circumstances.

For instance, if we examine this timeline--

Who is responsible for this?

I asked, who is responsible for this?

Very well. Class dismissed.

I said, class dismissed.

Dr. Dillamond.

Miss Elphaba.

Miss Elphaba, you don't have to--

Thank you. You're very kind.

Not bad.

Poppies are my favorite.

Mine too.

They keep me cheerful in these dark times.

Miss Elphaba, please. Go and join your friends.

That's all right. I don't have any friends.

Well, maybe one.

Try again.

Eyes shut.

Toes clenched.

Now...

levitate the coin.

It's all right.

It takes time. Hmm?

I hear there was an unfortunate disturbance

in Dr. Dillamond's class today.

That must have been so distressful for you.

Well,

someone wrote those horrendible words,

on purpose, for him to see.

I just wish I could--

What?

You wish what?

I wish there were something I could do. Because no one--

No one... Do what?

No one should be scorned

or laughed at.

Or looked down upon

or told to stop jabbering and keep quiet.

Remarkable.

Absolutely remarkable.

Once you learn to harness your emotion...

the sky's the limit.

It could lead you to the Wizard himself.

- Have a good night, Dr. Dillamond. - Goodbye, Dr. Dillamond.

Dr. Dillamond.

Did you find out who--

...yet another incident here at Shiz.

We animals are now being blamed for everything that goes wrong.

Forced from our jobs, told to keep silent.

This is much bigger than just some words on a chalkboard.

We can still converse in private, thank Oz.

A dear friend of mine--

- A deer? - A cow, actually.

She's been speaking out at protests.

Recently wrote me, asking to meet at a café.

She said it was urgent.

What did she tell you?

She never showed. And no one's seen her since.

Many animals have gone missing, or are actually leaving.

Yesterday, a badger acquaintance, a solicitor,

was sacked, just for arguing a case.

At least he can still argue.

What do you mean?

Let me show you.

♪ A professor from Quox ♪

♪ No longer permitted to teach ♪

That's it. I'm leaving Oz while I can still speak the word "goodbye."

- No, you can't. - Leave Oz?

Take it away!

Stop jabbering.

Someone's there.

What is it?

Miss Elphaba, what are you doing here?

Well, I was just--

It's all right.

Quickly, come inside.

Don't be frightened.

Let me get you some tea.

Dr. Dillamond, what you were saying just now...

could that really happen?

It is happening.

You'll find if you make it discouraging enough,

you can keep anyone silent.

But if animals are losing the ability to speak,

leaving Oz,

then someone's got to tell the Wizard.

Listen to me.

You mustn't tell another soul what you've heard and seen here tonight.

But that's why we have a Wizard.

♪ So nothing bad ♪

Perhaps you're right.

♪ Nothing all that bad ♪

♪ Nothing truly bad ♪

Sorry.

Bad.

I must be catching a cold.

Oz bless you, Dr. Dillamond.

You'd better go. Take the lamp.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa, there.

- Whoa! - I did not see her.

Yeah, neither did I.

- Um, you might want to, um, you know. - Okay. Yeah, leave it with me.

I'm so sorry, miss. We didn't see you there. You must've...

blended with the foliage.

Is this how you go through life,

just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?

No.

No. Sometimes I'm asleep.

All right.

Here we go. No, I'm not seasick.

Neither am I.

No, I did not eat grass as a child.

Oh, you didn't? I did.

And, yes, I have always been green.

And the defensiveness, is that a recent development?

Hmm.

Oh, no, no.

I'm off for some more trampling. May we offer you a ride?

No, thanks. Get stuffed.

Well.

Feldspur, we have just been spurned by a girl.

Hmm, indeed.

I guess there's a first time for everything.

Attention, students.

It is my honor to announce that

Prince Fiyero Tigelaar of Winkie Country will be filling out our student body...

...having transferred from the Royal Winkie Academy.

Please help him feel welcome

without making direct eye contact.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Enroll here often?

Could I ask you...

Anything. Anything you want.

...just to move out the way?

Absolute-- Yeah, that's anything.

- How are you? - Hi. Yeah.

Mmm.

Are you looking for something? Or...

someone?

No, I was...

What was I doing?

How would I know?

Our first fight.

- Oh. Still here. - Mm-hmm.

Well, I promised to give a guided tour to any recently arrived students, so...

Hmm.

Wait. Are you a recently arrived student?

I am, yeah.

Oh, I didn't know.

Though, I'm not sure I'll last longer at this school than any of the others.

But I wasn't at any of your other schools.

And this is the, um...

the book place.

There's a collection of, um, rare books around here somewhere,

and some medium rare as well.

Well, there's so many to choose from.

Right?

So, what do you do for fun around here?

Oh, well, nothing.

Until now.

You ever been to the Ozdust Ballroom?

The Ozdust Ballroom?

I mean, isn't that place somewhat illegal?

And scandalocious?

- Yeah, it is both of those things. Yeah. - Hmm?

It's also not far from here, which is another plus.

Whoa!

You all right?

Yeah.

I'm Fiyero Tigelaar.

Winkie Country.

Oh, Oz.

Boq Woodsman...

of Munchkinland.

Great.

Excuse me. Good to know.

Um, what were you saying again

about the Ozdust and fun, and you and me?

Um, unfortunately, it's against Shiz rules to go into town after dark.

I see that, once again, the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students...

...falls to me.

Uh, excuse me.

Whoa.

Am I not the most scandalocious little fish in the sea?

The most.

Fiyero's gonna lose what's left of his mind.

I mean, we nailed it.

- Now, hurry up. - Okay, I may have to...

I can't believe this boy knows how to get into the Ozdust Ballroom.

I know.

And that we just happened to cross paths today. Am I right?

Um...

Ew.

What even is that?

- Galinda? - Hmm?

What's the reason?

I know. It's my granny.

She always makes me the most hideoteous hats.

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

I couldn't.

Could I?

No.

Oh!

- Hey. - Hi.

Um, we should go.

Yeah, we have to go rouge our knees.

- I know. - Do it.

- Yeah. - Super rouge.

- Right. - I do it every day.

Bye, Elphaba. Love your shoulder pad--

Yeah. You just always look-- Just a joy...

So good and joyful.

Galinda, um,

Nessa and I were talking about you just now, and--

Oh, well, we were just talking about you,

how you should join us tonight.

I don't follow.

You join us at the Ozdust.

I'm inviting you.

Why?

Well, because everyone will be there.

And don't tell me you have nothing to wear,

because you could wear this.

I mean, it goes with everything you own.

Madame Morrible, you are--

- Seriously, I admire you so-- - Enough.

A magic wand?

It's a training wand.

A training wand? For me?

Madame Morrible, how can I express my gratitution?

It is my heart's desire to become a sorceress.

Thank you for having faith in me.

Actually, I have no faith in you.

This is your roommate's idea, not mine.

I'm confused.

Miss Elphaba has requested that I include you in our sorcery seminar

and insisted that I tell you this very night, or she would quit.

Elphaba did?

Mm-hmm.

But why?

I'm a sorceress, not a mind reader. I have no idea why.

But I can't risk losing her,

so here I am.

My personal opinion, dear, is that you do not have what it takes.

I hope you prove me wrong.

I doubt you will.

Uh, you may want to thank her. She just got here.

What?

What is she wearing?

What a ridiculous hat.

Her hat is disgustifying.

Oh, look at her go.

What does she think she's doing?

Is she dancing?

Whoa.

I'll say this much,

she doesn't give a twig what anyone thinks.

Of course she does.

She just pretends not to.

I can't watch.

I feel awful.

Why?

It's not like it's your fault.

Excuse me.

- What are you doing? - Stop.

No.

It's all right.

Wait a second.

You're telling me that was your first party ever?

Well, do funerals count?

That was funny.

Thank you.

- I couldn't remotely sleep. - Neither can I.

I know. Let's tell each other something we've never told anyone before.

Okay, fine. I'll go first.

Fiyero and I are getting married.

Oh, my God.

He asked you already?

Oh, he doesn't know yet.

Oh, okay.

Okay, now you tell me a secret.

- Like what? - Like--

Like...

why do you sleep with this funny little green bottle under your pillow?

- No, please, give that back. - What is this? I wanna know.

- Give it back, please. - I wanna know.

- Serious-- Oh. - Give it back!

It was my mother's. That's all.

Well, that's not fair.

I told you a really good one.

My father hates me.

What?

That's not the secret.

Oh.

The secret is that, um,

he has a good reason.

It's my fault.

What is?

That my sister is the way she is.

When my mother was carrying Nessa,

my father began to worry that she might come out...

- Green. - ...green.

He was so worried that he made my mother chew milk flowers day and night.

Only,

the milk flowers made Nessa come too soon, and...

and her little legs, they--

And my mother--

Well, she never woke up.

None of which would've ever happened if it wasn't for...

for me.

So...

it's my fault.

What? No.

That was the milk flowers' fault, not yours.

That might be your secret, Elphaba, but that doesn't make it true.

Look.

It's tomorrow.

And, Elphie--

- Can I call you "Elphie"? - Well, it's a little bit perky.

- I know. I know. I'm gonna call you that. - I don't really--

And you can call me...

Galinda.

That is your name.

Let's not quarrel.

- Elphie? - Hmm?

Now that we're friends...

...I've decided to make you my new project.

Oh, you really don't have to do that.

I know.

That's what makes me so nice.

Hey, Elphaba.

Toss, toss.

No.

You've been Galinda-fied.

You don't need to do that, you know.

Come on. Let's get to class.

- Dr. Dilly. - Dr. Dilly, because you can't--

- Well, he calls me-- - Dr. Dillamond.

- It's not his fault. - He needs to accept it.

He doesn't have upper front teeth.

Uh, Dr. Dillamond, I picked you some poppies.

Not now, Miss Elphaba.

Please, everyone, take your seats.

I've something to say and very little time.

My dear students,

this will be my last day here at Shiz.

You see, animals are no longer permitted to teach.

What?

It's all right, Miss Elphaba. I'll be all right. I--

Students, remain calm, please. There's no cause for alarm.

What is this? What's happening?

Come on, goat.

Hey!

You can't permit this.

Miss Elphaba, I'm afraid it's out of our hands.

They can take away my job,

- but I shall continue speaking out! - Dr. Dillamond.

Listen to me! You're not being told the whole story!

Are we all just gonna sit here in silence?

That's quite enough, Miss Elphaba.

Take your seat.

Students...

Are you all right?

...your new history professor has prepared a special presentation.

Good afternoon, students.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

In times such as these,

it behooves us all not merely to study the past,

but to look to the future.

This is called a cage.

This remarkable innovation is for the good of all Oz,

as well as for the animal's own good. You see--

If it's so good, why is he trembling?

He's just happy to be here.

Now, one benefit of caging an animal this young

is that in all likelihood, he'll never learn to speak.

Oh, no.

The dimensions of the cage will vary upon the size of the animal,

but the basic design remains the same.

Let me show you.

Can you imagine a world where animals are kept in cages

and they never learn to speak?

This poor lion cub seems so frightened.

What are we gonna do?

Sorry, "we"?

Well, someone's got to do something.

Hey. Hey, hey. Hey, come here.

What is happening?

I don't know. I got mad and--

Fiyero, what are you doing?

Well, you coming?

Come on.

Look.

Come on.

Come, buddy. That's it.

- There we go. There we go. - Yeah. All right.

What in the name of Oz?

I didn't mean to scare you.

Why is it you're always causing some sort of commotion?

I don't cause commotions. I am one.

Yeah. Well, that's for sure.

So, you think I should just keep my mouth shut? Is that what you're saying?

What? No. No, I'm saying--

- You think I wanna be this way? - I--

- You think I wanna care this much? - No, I mean--

I know my life would be much easier if I didn't care, but--

Do you ever let anyone else talk?

Sorry.

- I was just-- - But can I just say one more thing?

You could've walked away back there.

So?

So no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you pretend to be--

Uh, excuse me. There is no pretense here.

I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.

Oh, please. No, you're not.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be so unhappy.

Fine.

- Well, if you don't want my help... - No, I do.

What did you mean to do back there?

And why was I the only one you didn't do it to?

You're bleeding.

Am I?

Mm-hmm.

There.

It must've scratched you.

Yeah.

Or maybe it scratched me or something.

I better get to safety.

- The cub. - Mm-hmm.

- I better get the, uh... - Of course.

- ...the cub to safety. - Mm-hmm.

Miss Elphaba!

Come at once!

There!

Elphie, you gotta get down there. Come on.

Miss Elphaba, I finally heard back from the Wizard.

Look!

- Oh. Stop. - I know.

I... I just cannot.

It's yours. Open it.

"His Royal Ozness, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz..."

"...summons you most ceremony-ishly

to his personal palace in the Emerald City."

Uh, wait. Um, wait.

"This invitation is non-transferable."

This is your chance to make good.

Of course, you're going to have to prove yourself first.

Prove myself?

Prove yourself worthy.

Dearie, this is the Wizard of Oz.

If he's gonna grant your heart's desire--

But prove myself how? I--

I'm not ready. It's too soon.

Don't be so pessi-mystical.

I, too, had to prove my powers when I met the Wizard.

You'll find a way. I have faith in you.

Not to fret. Weather is my specialty.

Mustn't let you get wet.

Okay. I'll make a hand umbrella.

My hair. Thank you.

Not when you're on the cusp of greatness.

All aboard for the Emerald City!

Father, this is Boq, the boy I wrote to you about.

Oh, yes. Governor Thropp, good to meet you.

Oh, I've heard so much about you.

My Nessarose is very precious to me,

so you see you take good care of her.

I-I understand.

Good.

Elphie!

Elphie, the train is here.

And it came with the cutest little man with a mustache. You gotta see him.

Oh, Elphie. How will we manage without you?

You won't even notice I'm gone.

- Uh, you have Fiyero. - Oh.

Um, speaking of Fiyero, where is he?

Not that I expected him to come and say goodbye, but--

I mean, we barely know each other.

Well, I barely know him anymore either.

He's been different.

He's distant and moodified.

And he's been thinking,

which really worries me.

It all started the day Dr. Dillamond was fired.

I mean, who knew he cared so much about that old goat?

Look. He did come.

Dearest.

We're over here, darling. [chuckles] Come.

Hi.

- Elphaba. - Fiyero.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Yes. We are both so happy.

- I've been thinking... - Yeah. I heard.

...about the, uh, the lion cub and Dr. Dillamond.

I think about that day a lot.

So do I.

Oh, me too.

Oh, me too. Me too. Mm-hmm.

I think about it constantly.

I mean, poor Dr. Dillamond.

It makes one want to...

...to take a stand.

In fact, excuse me.

Everyone. Please, I have an announcement.

I am changing my name.

- What? - What?

- Your name? - Yes.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Since Dr. Dillamond used to have his own goat-like way of pronouncifying my name,

in solidarity

and in order to express my outrage,

I will henceforward be known no longer as "Galinda,"

but simply...

Glinda.

Clapping!

- She's so good. - Oh. She so is.

Such braverism.

Glinda!

Galinda no more, Glinda henceforth!

Glinda, you're wonderful!

Glinda!

Good luck.

See? There.

What is that?

Don't be upset, Galinda.

It's "Glinda" now. Stupid. I don't even know what made me say it.

It doesn't even matter what your name is.

- Everyone loves you. - I don't care.

I want him.

I don't even think he's perfect anymore, and I still want him.

This must be what other people feel like.

How do they bear it?

All aboard for the Emerald City!

The mustache man.

Hey, come on. The train.

Thank you.

Yes! We love you!

- Stand clear of the doors! - Goodbye!

Oh. Wait.

Oh, excuse me. Um...

Elphie, here. I forgot to give you this. Oh.

Bye.

- Come with me. - What?

To meet the Wizard.

What are you saying?

Get on the train. You're gonna miss it.

I wouldn't want to impose.

It doesn't matter. Just come with me.

I couldn't possibly. This is your moment. I'm coming.

Oh. Ow. Ow.

Hello.

Elphaba Thropp.

Listen to me.

You can do this.

You can do anything.

- What is that sound? - Oh, I don't know.

- No. - No. Go-- Go, go, go.

- Go. Elphaba. Go. - I don't--

I am Oz.

Oh, Elphie.

I am Oz, the Great and Terrible.

Who are you?

And why do you seek me?

Elphie. Say something. Say something.

- What am I supposed to say? - Anything.

- Say something. - Um...

Say something.

My name is Elphaba Thropp,

Your Ozness.

And-And this is--

Elphaba, is that you?

Elphaba Thropp?

A man.

Elphaba Thropp?

I didn't know it was you.

You made it.

Uh. Sorry about all that. I didn't mean to startle you.

You know, when I'm back there, I cannot make out people's faces.

Well, it's just so--

It's so great to meet you--

- It's so great to-- Hang on. What's that? - What?

- I'm so sorry. May I? - Sure. Yes.

Now, just-- It's okay.

For you. My special guest.

That's a keepsake for you to cherish for all of your days.

Very kind of you, Your Ozness. Thank you.

And this is, uh, an additional unexpected--

Hi. What's your name?

Glinda.

The "Ga" is silent.

Hello, Belinda.

Uh, what you looking at there? Oh, yeah.

Ugh. Well, I don't know. I think it's a bit much.

But, uh, folks have come to expect that sort of thing.

♪ And you gotta give the people ♪

♪ What they want ♪

That's good. Thank you. Thank you.

But, if you think that's something to see, wait till you see this.

I give you the Oz of tomorrow.

Yes. Yes.

Now, I don't know if your eyes have already fallen upon

this long and winding path.

- Do you see that? - Mm-hmm.

- I think people need direction. - Hmm.

When this thing gets built, everybody, always,

is going to remember that if you just follow the road--

Follow the road.

It's gonna lead you right to me.

Recently, I've gotten a little stuck

trying to figure out what color the bricks of that road ought to be.

So, I jerry-rigged this thing up,

- which does that. - Oh.

Uh, Elphaba, you give that a whirl.

Oh, sure. Um, let's try.

What about green?

- Mmm. - Um.

Yellow.

Maybe purple?

Wait. Just go back one, please.

The yellow, really?

- Yes. - Huh.

It just says "road" to me.

Let me see. Huh.

And-- Oh.

Yellow brick road?

I don't know.

- Oh, hey. Come up here. - Oh.

Come up here with me in my sandbox.

Step right up. Watch this.

So here's where we are, and when we open it up, inside...

That's you.

Well, it is me.

Yeah, it is me.

I like it. I shouldn't.

I'm here by myself a lot.

Anyway. I don't, uh-- Oh.

I forgot.

If my head wasn't attached, it would, uh--

I'd-- I'd leave it in, uh, Munchkinland.

Hey, you know what I had made? Look. Special.

Keep that.

I-- No, I mean it. Keep it-- Keep it forever.

Because at some point, who knows?

We might be putting your little artifact in there right next to mine.

Because maybe someday,

you're gonna be calling this whole pile of stones your home.

Elphie.

She's green.

Oh, well...

she doesn't have to be.

Would that be your-- your heart's desire?

No.

No.

My heart's desire is for you to help the animals.

Something bad is happening to them, and they need you.

I had a feeling you were gonna say that.

And I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah. Wow, that's the darndest thing.

It's almost like I, uh-- I already know you.

I knew you'd understand.

That makes me-- That makes me so happy.

Well, that's what I love best. Making people happy.

♪ I am a sentimental man ♪

♪ Who always longed to be a father ♪

That's enough of that. Okay.

Uh, uh, away with the moon.

- Huh. - Is that...

- Oh, it is. - It is.

Madame Morrible, what are you doing here?

Oh, dearie.

I couldn't miss your big moment.

Neither could you, I see. Hmm.

I--

I don't believe it.

Is that the Grimmerie?

Yes.

That's the ancient book of wisdom, thaumaturgy and enchantments.

Can I touch it?

No.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

She may not be ready.

Casting a spell with the Grimmerie, that's a mighty tall order.

I-- You know, I should know.

You're right. We mustn't rush her.

Perhaps today has been too overwhelming.

No.

Please.

Let me try.

Let me prove myself.

Well...

Sweet Oz.

It opened for her.

So, which spell are you gonna start with?

We've been working on levitation.

Levitation? Oh, that's interesting.

Do you know that, um, Chistery here--

Ha-- Have you ladies met, uh, Ch-Chistery,

the leader of my-- my Emerald Guards?

Pleased to meet you.

Uh, he'd hate to admit this.

Does not like talking about himself.

But he watches birds so longingly

every morning.

Birds?

- How can I help him? I-I don't-- - Elphie, look.

Are those words?

The lost language.

Our lost language of spells.

Don't be discouraged if you can't decipher it.

Dearie, I, myself, can only read a word or two,

and that took years.

- Oh, Elphie. - Praise Oz.

What did I tell you?

Chistery, are you all right?

Chistery?

It's just the transition, dearie.

It's just the transition.

Oh.

But it's hurting him.

Chistery.

Don't bite. Don't bite.

Glory-osky.

You did it. [gasps] You actually did it.

He's in pain.

Quick. How do I reverse it?

- Reverse-- - How do I reverse it?

A spell from the Grimmerie can never be reversed.

Elphaba. Elphaba.

No. No!

I knew she had the power. I told you.

Elphie, this is astoundifying.

It's just what we hoped for. Eyes in the skies.

Yes. They'll make perfect spies.

Spies?

- Elphaba? Elphaba? - Oh, uh, no. No. Uh--

Elphie? Elphie?

You're right. That's a very harsh word.

Oh, "scouts." What about "scouts"? Because they're gonna be flying around Oz

reporting back on any seditious animal activity--

Seditious animal activity? What does that mean?

Elphie. I'm sure the Wizard has a good reason.

It's you.

You're behind all of this.

You're the reason why people are turning against the animals.

You-- It's all because of you.

We're doing this to keep people safe.

All of Oz will benefit.

And you've known all along.

Since the day you met me.

You will benefit too, dearie.

- You must trust me. - Don't. Don't.

El-Elphaba.

When I first got here, well, there was discord.

There was discontent.

And back where I come from,

everybody knows that the best way to bring folks together

is to give them a-- a real good enemy.

If you wanted s-spies, why wouldn't you just--

why wouldn't you just make them yourself? You--

Elphaba.

Elphaba.

You are talking to the Wizard of Oz.

Read it.

Cast a spell.

Read it!

- Elphaba. - Don't--

You can't, can you?

Can you?

That's why you need all of this.

And you need spies and-and animals in cages and an enemy.

You--

You have no real power.

Exactly.

That's why I need you.

Think of your future, dearie.

Stay back.

Elphie, listen to them.

Please.

Good advice, young lady.

Listen, uh, Elphaba,

if you can pull this off first crack out of the box--

Oh. Oh, my golly. I can't even imagine--

And I meant every word about you having a home here.

It's gonna be you and me

and, hey, if it'd make you happy,

possibly your friend.

Really?

Why not?

No.

Elphaba.

You want to do yourself some good? Get her back.

Elphie. Elphie!

Listen.

Listen!

If you want to keep your families safe,

you'll stay loyal to our Wizard.

She did this! The green one.

Don't let her get away!

Elphie, where are you going?

Elphie, what are you doing?

Oh. Oh! No.

Elphaba, please. Come back. Let's just have a word with them.

Elphie. Elphie.

What are you doing?

Too much.

Take it.

Elphie! Oh! No--

Guards. Guards. Guards.

There's a fugitive at large here in the palace.

Bring her to me.

Let's go.

- Elphaba, what are you doing? - Just follow me. Follow me.

Where? What? Are you out of your mind?

Goodness, Elphaba, you're being ridiculous.

- Just come on. - Where are you going?

Up.

- They're in here! - There she is! The green one.

- Get in quickly. - Absolutely rid--

Quick. Jump.

Jump? Me, jump?

Quick. Jump, Glinda. Jump now!

Slipping--

Just grab my hand. Come on!

Come on. Grab on!

Get off!

Give me my leg.

Give me my leg.

Everyone, wait!

- Move! - Faster!

- Push! - Help me with this!

Hey! No!

Oh, no, no.

Elphie, Elphie, Elphie.

Faster! Look out!

Quick! Get off.

Ow, ow!

Don't look back!

- Get out of the way! Move! - Watch out!

This is not good. This is not good. This is not good.

Elphie.

Elphie!

Calm down. You have got to let him explain.

Over my dead body.

This is everything you've dreamed of.

Elphaba, this is so much bigger than us.

Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,

instead of flying off the handle?

Citizens of Oz,

there is an enemy who must be found and captured.

Believe nothing she says.

She has stolen our Grimmerie.

She is evil,

responsible for the mutilation of these poor, innocent monkeys.

Oh, no.

Her green skin

is but an outward manifestorium of her twisted nature.

This distortion,

this repulsion,

this...

Wicked Witch.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

It's the Wizard who should be afraid of me.

Elphie, listen to me.

Listen to me. Just-- Just say you're sorry.

You don't know what you're doing with that. Please.

Stop! Stop!
