you.
Nessarose: What are you doing here?
Elphaba: Well, there's no place like home. I never thought I'd hear myself say this but I
need father's help. I need him to stand with me.
Nessarose: That's impossible. Father's dead.
Elphaba: What?
Nessarose: He's dead. I'm the governor... Well what did you expect? After he found out
what you'd done, how you'd disgraced us he died... of shame.
Elphaba: Good, I'm glad. It's better that way.
Nessarose: That's a wicked thing to say.
Elphaba: No, it's true. Because now it's just us. You can help me and together we can...
Nessarose: Elphaba, shut up! First of all, I can't harbor a fugitive! And why should I help
you? You fly around Oz, trying to rescue animals you've never even met, and not once
have you ever thought to use your powers to rescue me!

Boq: No! You're lying! That's all you ever do! You and your sister! She's as wicked as you
are!
Elphaba: What are you talking about?
Boq: I'm talking about my life. The little that's left of it. I'm not free to leave Munchkinland,
none of us are. Ever since she took power, she's been stripping the Munchkins of our
rights... and we didn't have that many to begin with! And do you know why?

Boq: What is she doing?!
Elphaba: No, Nessa, you're pronouncing the words all wrong! Nessa!
Nessarose: Boq! What is it?
Boq: ( screams)My heart feels like it's... shrinking.
Nessarose: Elphaba, do something!
Elphaba: I can't! You can't reverse a spell once it's been cast!

you.

Wizard: I'm not calling anyone. The truth is I'm glad to see you again. It gets pretty lonely
around here. And I know you must get lonely too.
Elphaba: You don't know the first thing about me.Don't you think I wish I could? That I

See, I never had a family of my own since I was always traveling, and I guess I just wanted
to give the citizens of Oz everything.
Elphaba: So you lied to them?
Wizard: Only verbally. Besides, they were the lies they wanted to hear. Elphaba, where I
come from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true... we call it history!
