WICKED Act 1 Scene 11 -The Lion Cub Part 1




The Students Are In Dr. Dillamond's Class In Desks. Elphaba Walks In Outrageously Dressed.
Elphaba: Flips her hair.. Flip Flip! What?
Fiyero: Nothing, it's just... you've been "Galinda-fied". You don't have to do that , you know?
Dillamond: Alright, take your seats, class! I have something to say, and very little time to say it.
This is my last day here at Shiz. I am no longer permitted to teach. I want to thank you for your sharing your enthusiasm, your essays, no matter how feebly structured, and even, on occasion, your lunch.
Mme. Morrible Rushes In.
Morrible: Doctor Dillamond! I'm so dreadfully sorry.
Elphaba: Madame, we've got to do something.
Dillamond: Miss Elphaba, they can take away my job, but I shall continue speaking out.
Scientist: Come on, goat...
To Men Begin To Carry Him Out Of The Room.
Dillamond: They are not telling you the whole story! Remember that, class! Remember that.
He Is Gone.
Elphaba: Doctor Dillamond! After A Pause. Well, are you just going to sit here in silence?
Morrible: Miss Elphaba, there is nothing we can do. Please take your seat.
Professor: Good afternoon, students!
Morrible: Good afternoon.
Professor: Every day, with every tick of the Time Dragon Clock, in every corner of our great Oz, one hears the silence of progress. For example: this is called a cage!
He Points To A Cage With A Cloth Draped Over It. He Pulls Off The Cloth, Revealing A Lion Cub Inside.
Professor: Now, we will be seeing more and more of them in the near future. This remarkable innovation is actually for the Animal's own good...
Elphaba: If this is for his own good, then why is he trembling?
Professor: He's just excited to be here, that's all. Hits the cage. Now, as I was saying, one of the benefits of caging a Lion cub while he's young is that he never, in fact, will learn how to speak.
Elphaba: What?
He Motions The Students Forward, Toward The Cage.
Professor: That's right! Come closer!
Elphaba: To Fiyero. Can you imagine a world where Animals are kept in cages and they never speak?
Professor: Now, he may seem a bit agitated but that's easily remedied.
Elphaba: What should I do?
Fiyero: I don't know.
Elphaba: Well, somebody has to... Do something!!!

WICKED Act 1
Scene 11 - The Lion Cub Part 2




Sparks Begin To Fly Everywhere.
All Students & The Professor Are Moving Uncontrollably Except Fiyero and Elphaba.
Fiyero: What's happening?
Elphaba: I don't know I got mad...andd
Fiyero: Alright just don't move! And don't get mad at me... He Grabs The Cage.
Well are you coming?
She Runs With Him After He Snatches The Lion Cub.
Elphaba: Careful! Don't shake him!
Fiyero: I'm not!
Elphaba: We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know. We have to find someplace safe...
Fiyero: Don't you think that I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid or something!
Elphaba: No, not really stupid.
Fiyero: Why is it that every time I see you you're causing some sort of commotion?
Elphaba: I don't cause commotions, I am one.
Fiyero: That's for sure.
Elphaba: Oh! So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?
Fiyero: No, I'm...
Elphaba: Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much?
Don't you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't?
Fiyero: Do you ever let anyone else talk?
Elphaba: Oh, sorry... But can I just say one more thing? You could have just walked away back there.
Fiyero: So?
Elphaba: So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you tend to be...
Fiyero: Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.
Elphaba: No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy.
Fiyero: Fine, if you don't want my help...
Elphaba: No, I do! Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling... I didn't mean for...
Fiyero: What did you mean to do? Why was I the only one you didn't do it to?
Elphaba: Oh look, you're bleeding... it must have scratched you. Referring To A Cut On His Face.
Fiyero: Yea... or maybe it scratched me. I better get to safety... I mean the cub... get the cub to safety. He Walks Off.
Elphaba: Fiyero...

Scene 12 - I'm Not That Girl

As Elphaba sings in the foreground, Fiyero and Glinda meet on a bridge in the distance.

WICKED Act 1 Scene 13 -To The Wizard





Morrible Enters. She Is Carrying An Umbrella And Holds It Over Elphaba To Protect Her From The Rain.
Morrible: Miss Elphaba, there you are!
Elphaba: Madame Morrible...
Morrible: Oh Miss Elphaba, I finally heard back from the Wizard!
Elphaba: The Wizard?
Morrible: Yes, he wishes to meet you!
Elphaba: He asked for me?
Morrible: Yes! I know how devastated you were the other day for our poor Doctor Dillamond,
but I can assure you my dear, as one door closes, another one opens. She Hands Her A Green Envelope.
Elphaba: Madame, I don't know what to say! How can I ever thank you? She Hugs Her.
Morrible: Oh careful dear, you musn't get wet She Places The Umbrella Back Over Elphaba's Head. Oh, I know! She Waves
Her Hands And The Sun Comes Out. Didn't I tell you? Weather is my specialty. Oz-speed, my dear! Make me proud.
Elphaba: I will, I'll try.
Morrible Exits.
Elphaba: AND THERE WE'LL FINALLY BE
THE WIZARD AND I...
The Scene Reopens At A Train Station. Conductor: All aboard!
Galinda: Remember, eye contact. And don't forget to tell him how wonderful he is, Wizards love that! And be yourself... well... within reason.
Boq Wheels Nessarose Onstage.
Nessarose: Elphaba, I'm so proud of you and I know father would be too. We're all proud, aren't we?
Elphaba: You'll be alright, won't you?
Galinda: She'll be fine! Biq will take care of her, right?
Boq: ...It's Boq... I... I can't do this anymore. He Exits.
Nessarose: Boq...
Galinda: Nessa, maybe he's just not the right one... for you.
Nessarose: No, it's me that's not right. Elphaba, just go, I'll be fine. She Wheels Herself Offstage.
Elphaba: Nessa, wait!
Galinda: Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will.
Elphaba: Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone. Besides, you have Fiyero. Where is he, anyway? Not that I expected him to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other.
Galinda: I don't know him either. He's distant, and moodified, and he's been thinking, which really worrries me. I never knew how much he card about that old goat.
Fiyero Enters.
Galinda: Oh, there he is! Fiyero, over here dearest!
Fiyero: He Hands Elphaba Flowers. Elphaba, I'm happy for you.
Galinda: Yes, we are both so happy...
Fiyero: Uh, listen, I've been thinking...
Elphaba: Yes, I've heard.
Fiyero: About that Lion cub and... everything. I think about that day a lot.
Elphaba: Really? So do I.
Galinda: Me too! Poor Doctor Dillamond. It makes one want to... uh... take a stand.
So I've been thinking of... uh... changing my name.
Fiyero: Your name?
Galinda: Well, yes! Since Doctor Dillamond had his own way of pronouncing my name, in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known no longer as Galinda, but as simply, Glinda.
Fiyero: Oh well, that's very admirable of you... Glinda. To Elphaba. Elphaba, good luck.
He Runs Off.
Glinda: There, see?
Elphaba: Galinda...
Glinda: It's Glinda now. Stupid idea, I don't even know what made me say it.
Elphaba: It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you!
Glinda: 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? They embrace.

WICKED Act 2
Scene 1 - Thank Goodness Part 2





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
THE WICKED WITCH BURST FROM CONCEALMENT
WHERE SHE HAD BEEN LURKING
SURREPTITIALLY!
Gasps From Among The Crowd.
Ozian:
I HEAR SHE HAS AN EXTRA EYE THAT ALWAYS REMAINS AWAKE!
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!
Glinda 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!
