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! Come out! She's gone!
Munchkins, she's dead!
Good news!
Munchkins, wake up!
Come out! Come out! She's gone!
Good news!
The Wicked Witch is dead!

It's good to see me, isn't it?
Ah.

- 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.

But from the moment the Witch was born,

different.
- It's coming. - Now?
The baby's coming.
Oh, and how!

Oh.
It's all right, little one.
Shh.
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.
Stop!
Ow!
Elphaba!
Elphaba Thropp!
What have you done this time?
Okay. 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.
- Shall we go inside, Nessa? - 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!
Hi! -Galinda, hi!
Oh, we're so proud of you.
Oh, 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. - Bye, 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.
Hmm.
I know we don't really know each other yet, but I...
You know what I believe, Bick?
It's Bick... It's Boq.
That strangers are just people I've never met.
Hmm.
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.
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.
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, by the way.
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 me. - Don't help her.
She'll be fine.
All new Shiz students,
please report to the quad.
- Oh, 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.
Mwah!
- Miss Nessarose, isn't it? - Yes.
- The Governor's daughter? - Mm-hmm.
Oh. 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, I wasn't made aware.
I know. I was just...
Not to fret.
Just a slight gulch.
We'll find someplace 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 that...
Oh, the Governor made his concern
-for your sister quite apparent. -Wait.
Please assure him I am honored to help her.
Well, she doesn't need your help.
Stop. I just need to find my room.
I'll bring you there myself.
- Miss Coddle, I-I don't think you... - Now...
Miss Coddle, I promised my father that I...
- I don't want help. - Can you... Stop, Miss Coddle.
- She can do it alone. - I'm fine. -
- Please let go. - Please, you don't understand!
Stop! -
Let her go!
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.
You can room with Miss Galinda.
Wh-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?
Something is very wrong.
I didn't get my way.
I need to lie down.
- Yes. Good. -Okay. Get her. - I need to lie down.
- Get her. Get her. Get her. - Go, go, go, go. Grab her.
- How? - We need a pastry.
- Nurse! - 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.

Fine.

Oh!
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.
- Although, some of us... - Thank you.
...still tend to favor form over content,
Glinda.
Oh, actually, it's "Ga-linda."
With a "Ga." Mmm.
Yes, of course.
Glinda.
- No, it's... - - Not even close.
Um, I don't see what the problem is.
You know, every other professor
-manages to pronouncify my name. -Mm-hmm.
Maybe the pronuncification 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.
The worst way to cook an artichoke.
Quiet, please. Please.
Yes, we goats lack upper front teeth,
which accounts for the mispronunciation,
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?
Uh, 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 "Ga-linda."
"Ga-linda." "Ga-linda."
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.

- No, you can't. - Oh, leave Oz?
Take it away! Stop jabbering.
- Shh. - Oh.
- Someone's there. - What is it?
Miss Elphaba,
what are you doing here?
Well, I was just...
- Uh... - 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.

Um, you might want to,

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.
Shh.
Ooh, 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.
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? - Oh, hi.
Yeah.
Are you looking for something?
Or...
...someone?
No, I was...
What was I doing?
How would I know?
Our first fight.
Hmm.
- 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.
Hmm.
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.
Hmm.
Uh, excuse me.
Whoa.

That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked me out.
He said he was too shy to ask me at first,
but then Galinda emboldened him.
Wait. Galinda?
Don't.
Don't you dare say another word against her.

- Oh, sweet Oz. - Wow.
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...
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. Right. - Super rouge.
- Bye, Elphaba. - I do it every day.
- 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... well, because everyone will be there.
And don't tell me you have nothing to wear,
because you could wear this.

You.

Yeah.
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.
What is she doing?
Oh, look at her go.
What does she think she's doing?
Is she dancing?
Hi.
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.
Hmm.
Just do it.

Wait a second.
You're telling me that was your first party ever?
Well, do funerals count?
That was funny.
Thank you.
Ah, 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.
He asked you already?
Oh, he doesn't know yet.
Oh, okay.
Okay, now you tell me a secret.
Like what?
Like...
Why do you sleep
with this funny little green bottle under your pillow?
- What is this? I want to know. - No, please, give that back.
- ♪ I want to know. ♪ - No, give it back, please.
- Serious... Oh. - Give that... 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 milkflowers
day and night.
Only...
the milkflowers 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 milkflowers' 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 don't really... -I know.
I know. I'm gonna call you that.
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.

- Oh, hi, Elphaba. - Oh, hey.
Hey, Elphaba.
- Hi. How are you? - Good.
Toss, toss.
No.
You've been Galinda-fied.
You don't need to do that, you know.
Hmm.
Come on. Let's get to class.
It's Dr. Dilly.
Or Dr. Dilly, because you can't call him that.
- It's Dr. Dillamond. - Well, he calls me...
- Hey, 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. - It was upside down, I guess.
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-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. -Yeah.
- There we go. - 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 want to be this way?
-I... -You think I want to care this much?
- No, I mean... - I know that 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!
Elph... Elphie, you got to get down there.
Come on.
Miss Elphaba,
I finally heard back from the Wizard.
Look!
Oh, stop.
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 nontransferable."
- Bye. - Bye.
This is your chance to make good.
Of course, you're going to have to prove yourself first.
- Prove myself? - Prove yourself worthy.
Deary...
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 got to 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, uh, 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.
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 "Ga-linda"
but simply...
...Glinda.
Clapping.
- She's so good. - Oh, she so is.
Such braverism.
Oh!
Galinda no more. Glinda henceforth.
Glinda, you're wonderful!
Glinda!
Good luck.
See?
There. Wh-Wh-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.
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... It doesn't matter. Just come with me.
I couldn't possibly. This is your moment.
I'm coming.

Hello.
Elphaba Thropp.
Listen to me.
You can do this.
You can do anything.
- What is that sound? - I don't know.
- Oh, no. I do not... - No, go.
- I cannot go. - Go, go, go.
- Go. Elphaba. Go. - I don't... Oh.
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? - Just say something. Anything.
- Say something. - Um...
Say something!
My name is Elphaba Thropp...
...Your Ozness.
And-and this is...
E-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?
- S-Sure. Yes. - Okay, now, just... It's okay.
Oh.
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. Oh, 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. - Mmm.
When this thing gets built, everybody, always,
is gonna 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?
Hmm.
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.
'Cause 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.
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 why I do the best I can ♪
♪ To treat each citizen of Oz ♪
♪ As son ♪
♪ Or daughter ♪
♪ So, Elphaba, I'd like to raise you high ♪

All right.
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, deary.
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.
Deary, I, myself, can only read a word or two,
and that took years.
"Ah ben tah kay.
"Ah ben tah kay ah.
- "An tay deh tum. - Oh, Elphie.
- "En-tay ah. - Praise Oz.
"Ah ben tah kay ah.
"En-tay ah. Tin feh tah.
"Ah ben kanaph. Ah ben janah.
"Ah ben vinge. Ah ben ala.
"Ah ben krahu. Ah ben kanat.
"Ah ben nku. Ah ben kanaph.
"Ah ben janah. Ah ben vinge.
"Ah ben ala. Ah ben krahu.
"A ben kanat. Ah ben nku. Ah ben kanaph.
- Ah ben janah. Ah ben vinge." - What did I tell you?
"Ah ben ala. Ah ben krahu.
"A ben kanat. Ah ben nku.
"Ah ben kanaph. Ah ben janah.
"Ah ben vinge. Ah ben ava.
"Ah ben ah krahu. A ben kanat.
Ah ben nku. Ah ben ka..."
Chistery, are you all right?
Chistery?
It's just the transition, deary.
It's just the transition.
Oh.
But it's hurting him.
Chistery.
Don't bite. Don't bite.
Glory-osky.
You did it.
You actually did it.
He's in pain.
Quick. How do I reverse it?
- Reverse it? - 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.
Elphie? Elphie?
You're right. That's a very harsh word.
Oh, "scouts." What about "scouts"?
'Cause they're gonna be flying around Oz
reporting back on any seditious animal activity...
Seditious animal activity? What does that mean?
- Elphie. - What are you s...
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, deary.
- 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.
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-an enemy. You...
You have no real power.
Exactly.
That's why I need you.
Think of your future, deary.
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?
No, no, no, no!
Take it!
Elphie!
Oh! Oh, my gosh!
Guards.
There's a fugitive at large here in the palace.
Bring her to me.
- 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.
- Get in quickly. - Absolutely ridi...
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.
- Move! - Faster!
- Push! - Help me with this!
Hey! No!
Oh, no, no.
Elphie, Elphie, Elphie.
- Faster! - Look out!
No!
Quick. Get off.
Ow, ow.
Don't look back!
Get out of the way!
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.
