SCENE 3
(GALINDA and ELPHABA are in their dormitory room, both dutifully writing home.)
GALINDA

ELPHABA
My dear Father…

THERE’S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
OVER ROOMING HERE AT SHIZ…
ELPHABA
BUT OF COURSE, I’LL CARE FOR NESSA…
GALINDA

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
