Int. Emerald Palace-Morning

(MORRIBLE is sitting on a throne. IDINA and KRISTIN are standing nearby)

MORRIBLE

It's so lovely of you to join me this morning. I have something delightful to show you.

(to SOLDIERS)

Bring me Elphaba!

(SOLDIERS exit and re emerge a moment later dragging ELPHABA)

IDINA

What did you do to her? Why is she not fighting back?

MORRIBLE

My delightful servant transferred all of her powers to me. It's a very draining process. She probably won't survive it, which makes my life so much easier.

KRISTIN

And where did you put Glinda?

MORRIBLE

Oh, she's right here.

(GLINDA and BOQ emerge from behind the throne. GLINDA'S eyes are glazed over)

MORRIBLE

(continued)

Such a lovely little traitor. I think i'll keep her.

KRISTIN

Glinda would never do that!

GLINDA

(monotone and slow)

Yes I would. And I did. You are all on the wrong side. This side has protection and safety. By the time Madame Morrible is done, you will all be dead.

IDINA

You did something to her. Did you brainwash her? Or is it a spell?

KRISTIN

It's a spell. You can tell from her eyes. That's how you can always tell if someone's being magically controlled.

(IDINA looks at her)

What? I'm a Harry Potter fan.

GLINDA

(still monotone and slow)

I am not under a spell. I have just realized that I have been on the wrong side.

MORRIBLE

Shut up.

GLINDA

Yes Madame Morrible.

MORRIBLE

Glinda isn't the point. The point is that I have magic now. And now I'll have hers too.
