beautiful... for you. Fiyero: Elphaba... Elphaba: Don't tell me that I am, you don't need to lie to me. Fiyero: It's not lying! It's... uh... it's looking at things another way. Someday, you and Glinda will make up and we'll all... Elphaba: Shh! Listen... Do you hear that? A Shriek Is Heard In The Distance. It sounds like somebody in pain. Fiyero: It's just the wind. Elphaba : The Siren Is Heard Again. My sister's in danger. Fiyero: What? How do you know? Elphaba: I don't know, I just do... Gasps. Fiyero: Elphaba what's wrong, what is it? Elphaba: This! Don't you see it? Fiyero: What do you mean? What do you see? Elphaba: It doesn't make any sense... It's a house but it's... it's flying through the sky? I have to go to Nessa! Fiyero: I'll come with you! Elphaba: No, you mustn't, it's too dangerous! Fiyero: Listen to me, listen! My family has a castle in Kiamo Ko. Now, no one is ever there except for the sentries who watch over it. We've never lived there. Elphaba: Where do you live? Fiyero: In the other castle... It's the perfect hiding place; tunnels, secret passageways. You'll be safe there. Elphaba: We will see each other again, won't we? Fiyero: Elphaba, we are going to be together always. You can see houses flying through the sky, can't you see that? They Embrace And Elphaba Runs Off.
    [Scene 9 - Elphaba Vs. Glinda]
    Glinda Enters. There Is A House In The Background. The Edge OF The Yellow Brick Road Can Be Seen. Glinda: That's right, you just take that one road, the whole time. Waves offstage. Oh, I hope they don't get lost. I'm so bad at giving directions. She sees the house, picks up flowers and lays them in front of the house. Oh, Nessa. Elphaba Appears. Elphaba: What a touching display of grief. Glinda: I don't think we have anything further to say to one another. Elphaba: I wanted something to remember her by, and all that is left were those shoes, and now that wretched little farm girl has walked off with them. So I'd appreciate some time, alone, to say goodbye to my sister. Glinda Backs Away As Elphaba Walks Toward The House. Elphaba: Nessa, please, please, please forgive me... Glinda: Elphie... you mustn't blame yourself. It's dreadful, it is, to have a house fall on you, but accidents will happen. Elphaba: You call this an accident? Glinda: Yes! Well, maybe not an accident... Elphaba: Well, what do you call it? Glinda: Well... a regime change. Caused by a bizarre and unexpected twister of fate. Elphaba: You think cyclones just appear out of the blue? Glinda: I don't know, I never really... Elphaba: No, of course you never! You're too busy telling everyone how wonderful everything is! Glinda: I'm a public figure, now. People expect me to... Elphaba: Lie? Glinda: Be encouraging! And what exactly have you been doing besides riding around on that filthy, old thing? Elphaba: Well, we can't all come and go by bubble. Who's invention was that, the Wizard's? Of course, even if it wasn't I'm sure he'd still take credit for it. Glinda: Yes, well, a lot of us are taking things that don't belong to us, aren't we? Elphaba: Now wait just a clock tick! I know it may be 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! Glinda Slaps Her. Elphaba: Cackles. Feel better now? Glinda: Yes, I do. Elphaba: Good, so do I. She Slaps Glinda. Glinda Then Twirls Her Wand Skillfully And Elphaba Arms Herself With Her Broom. They Charge At Each Other And Then Drop Their "Weapons" And Beat Each Other Senselessly. Glinda Takes Elphaba's Hat Off Her Head And Begins To Whack Her With It. The Guards Run In. Guard: Halt! In the name of the Wizard! They Grab Elphaba. Elphaba: Stop! Let me go! Glinda: Let me go, I almost had her! Guard: Sorry it took us so long to get here, Miss. Elphaba: I can't
