Frex Holds Out A Box.
Frex: My precious little girl: a parting gift.
Nessarose: Now, father... He Pulls Silver Shoes From The Box. Jeweled shoes!
Frex: As befits the future governor of Munchkinland. Elphaba, take care of your sister. And try not to talk so much! He Kisses Nessarose And Exits.

Mme. Morrible Enters
Morrible: Welcome, new students! I am Madame Morrible, headmistress here, at Shiz University. And whether you're here to study logic, literature, or linguification, I know I speak for my fellow faculty members when I say we have nothing but the highest hopes for some of you.

Galinda: Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed.
Dillamond: Class, class! Miss Elphaba has a point! As you know, I am the sole Animal on the faculty. The token Goat, as it were. But it wasn't always this way. Oh, dear students, how I wish you could have seen it as it once was. Where you could walk down the halls and see an antelope explicating a sonnet, a snow leopard solving an equation, a wildebeast waxing philosophic. Don't you see, dear students, how our dear Oz is becoming less and less...looks at Elphaba... colorful. Now, who can tell me what sent these events into motion?
Elphaba: Raises hand. From what I've heard, it all started with the great
