Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried to
suppress or hide, is a talent that could help me meet the wizard. If I make good. So, I'll
make good. When I meet the wizard, once I've proved my worth. And then I meet the wizard,
what I've waited for since, since birth. And with all his wizard wisdoms, by my looks he
won't be blinded. Do you think the wizard is dumb? Or like Munchkins so small-minded,
no. He'll say to me "I see who you truly are, a girl on whom I can rely." And that's how
we'll begin, the wizard and I. When I'm with the wizard, my whole life will change. Cause
once you're with the wizard, no one thinks you're strange. No father is not proud of
you. No sister acts ashamed. And all of Oz has to love you when by the wizard you're
acclaimed. And this gift or this curse I have inside. Maybe at last I'll know why, when
we are hand in hand, the wizard and I. And one day he'll say to me, "Elphaba. A girl
who is so superior. Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside have a matching exterior? And
since folks here to an absurd degree seem fixated on your verdigris. Would it be alright
by you, if I de-greenify you?" And of course that's not important to me. "All right, why
not?" I'll reply. Oh, what a pair we'll be, the wizard and I. Yes, what a pair we'll be,
the wizard and... Unlimited. My future is unlimited. And I just had a vision almost
like a prophecy. I know, it sounds truly crazy. And true, the vision's hazy. But I swear someday
there'll be a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with me. And I'll stand there with
the Wizard, feeling things I've never felt. And though I'd never show it, I'd be so happy
I could melt. And so it will be for the rest of my life and I'll want nothing else til
I die. Held in such high esteem. When people see me they will scream. For half of Oz's
favorite team. The wizard and I.
