Act 1: Scene 3

SCENE 3



            (GALINDA and ELPHABA are in their dormitory room, both dutifully writing home.)



GALINDA

Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle…



ELPHABA

My dear Father…



BOTH

            THERE’S BEEN SOME CONFUSION

            OVER ROOMING HERE AT SHIZ…



ELPHABA

            BUT OF COURSE, I’LL CARE FOR NESSA…



GALINDA

BUT OF COURSE, I’LL RISE ABOVE IT…



BOTH

            FOR I KNOW THAT’S HOW YOU’D WANT ME TO RESPOND

YES, THERE’S BEEN SOME CONFUSSION

FOR YOU SEE, MY ROOMMATE IS…



GALINDA

            UNUSUALLY AND EXCEEDINGLY PECULIAR

AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE…



ELPHABA

            BLONDE.



GALINDA

            WHAT IS THIS FEELING

            SO SUDDEN AND NEW?



ELPHABA

            I FELT THE MOMENT

            I LAID EYES ON YOU



GALINDA

            MY PULSE IS RUSHING…



ELPHABA

            MY HEAD IS REELING…



GALINDA

            MY FACE IS FLUSHING



BOTH

            WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

            FERVID AS A FLAME

            DOES IT HAVE A NAME

            YES!:

            LOATHING

            UNADULTERATED LOATHING…



GALINDA

            FOR YOUR FACE…



ELPHABA

            YOUR VOICE…



GALINDA

            YOUR CLOTHING…



BOTH

            LET’S JUST SAY—I LOATHE IT ALL!

            EV’RY LITTLE TRAIT, HOWEVER SMALL

            MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL

WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING

THERE’S A STRANGE EXHILARATION

IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTAION

IT’S SO PURE! SO STRONG!

THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST

STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST

AND I WILL BE LOATHING

LOATHING YOU

MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!



STUDENTS

            DEAR GALINDA, YOU ARE JUST TOO GOOD!

            HOW DO YOU STAND IT? I DON’T THINK I COULD!

            SHE’S A TERROR! SHE’S A TARTAR!

            WE DON’T MEAN TO SHOW A BIAS

            BUT GALINDA YOU’RE A MARTYR!



GALINDA

            WELL… THESE THINGS ARE SENT TO TRY US!



STUDENTS

            POOR GALINDA, FORCED TO RESIDE

            WITH SOMEONE SO DISGUSTICIFIED

WE JUST WANT TO TELL YOU:

WE’RE ALL ON YOUR SIDE!

WE SHARE YOUR…
