Glinda: Elphie wait! Where are you going?!
Elphaba: There are no more stairs! This must be the attic! The guards are coming up we have to barricade the doors!
Glinda: What?!
Elphaba: We'll use this!(She barricades the doors with a broom)
Glinda: Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once instead of flying off the handle?! I hope you're happy! (SIngs) I hope you're happy now! I hope you're happy how you'd hurt your cause forever, I hope you think You're clever!
Elphaba: I hope you're happy! I hope you're happy too! I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission to feed your own ambition!
Both: So though I can't imagine how I hope you're happy right now!
(Spoken) Morrible: Citizens of Oz! There is an enemy who must be found and captured. Believe nothing she says, she is evil. Responsible for the mutilation of these poor, innocent monkeys. Her green skin in an outrage of manifestorium of her twisted nature. This distortion, this relation, this WICKED WITCH!
Glinda: Don't be afraid.
Elphaba: I'm not. It's the Wizard who should be afraid of me.
Glinda: Elphie, listen to me just say you're sorry before it's too late. (Sings) You can still be with the Wizard. What you've worked and waited for. You can have all you ever wanted.
Elphaba: I know, but I don't want it... No... I can't want it anymore. Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game. Too late for second guessing too late to go back to sleep. It's time to trust my instincts close my eyes... and leep It's time to try defying gravity. I think I'll try defying gravity. And you can't pull me down.
Glinda: Can't I make you understand you're having delusions of grandure.
Elphaba:I'm through excepting limits 'cause someone says they're so somethings I cannnot change but Till I try I'll never know. Too long I've been afraid of loosing love I guess I've lost. Well, if that's love it comes at much too high at cost. I'd sooner buy defying gravity. Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity and you can't pull me down.
Guards: Open this door in the name of his supreem Ozness!
(Elphaba starts chanting a spell)
Glinda: What?! What are you doing?! That's what started all of this in the first place! That hideous levitation spell?! STOP!!
(She stops chanting)
Glinda: Well, where are your wings? Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you are. Sweet Oz!
(The broom starts to levitate towards Elphaba and she grabs it)
Guards: Open this door!
Elphaba: Quick! Get on!
Glinda: What?!
Elphaba: Come with me, think of what we could do together. (Sings) Unlimited, together we're unlimeted. Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been, Glinda. Dreams the way we planned 'em.
Glinda: If we work in tandem
Both: There's no fight we cannot win. Just you and I defying gravity. With you and I defying gravity
Elphaba: They'll never bring us down. Well, are you coming?
Glinda: Elphie, you're trembling. Here put this around you.
(Glinda puts a black cape around Elphaba and she looks just like the Wicked Witch of the West)
Glinda: I hope you're happy, now that you're choosing this.
Elphaba: You too, I hope it brings you bliss.
Both: I really hope you get it, and you don't live to regret it. I hope you're happy in the end. I hope you're happy... my friend.
(Elphaba runs to the back of the stage and the guards come in and grab Glinda)
Glinda: Stop! Let go of me! Do you hear?!
Elphaba: It's not her! She has nothing to do with it! I'm the one you want! it's me! It's me!!!
(She flies and purple and blue light's are beeming down on her)
Elphaba: So If you care to find me look to the Western sky! As someone told me latley everyone deserves the chance to fly! And if i'm flying solo at least I'm flying free. To those who ground me take a message back from me! Tell them how I am defying gravity. I'm flying high defying gravity. And soon I'll match them in renown. And nobody in all of Oz, no Wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring ME DOWN!!!
Glinda: I hope you're happy
Guards: look at her she's Wicked get her!
Elphaba: Bring ME DOWN!!!
Guards: No one mourns the Wicked. So we have to bring her
Elphaba: AHAHAH!!!!!!!!
Guards: Down!!!!!
