Galinda: Dearest darlingest momsie and popsicle...
Elphaba: My dear father...
Both: There's been some confusion
Over rooming here at Schiz...
Elphaba: But of course I'll care for Nessa...
Galinda: But of course I'll rise above it...
Both: For I know that's how you'd want me to respond.
Yes there's been some confusion
For you see, my room-mate is...
(Both pause, regard each other, trying to find the words...)Galinda: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar
And altogether quite impossible to describe...
Elphaba: (after a beat)
Blond.

"As a youngster I was duly impressed by the fable of George Washington and the cherry tree. But I always had a sneaking suspicion that the reason George's father didn't punish him for chopping down the tree was that young Georgie had an ax in his hand." -Jack Paar
"Wyoming is just a hoax on the people of the East. It's not really there. What they call Wyoming is just a wide expanse of nothingness. The only reason it's on the map is that it fills out the U.S. But when you drive through what they call Wyoming, and look out your car window, there's nothing. It's just closet space that never got to New York." -Milt Kamen
"I don't want to live my life in shame
I hear these voices swimming in my brain
The days are bright and filled with pain
enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again." -Jim Morrison
"She was gonna be an actress
and I was gonna learn to fly
She took off to find the footlights
and I took off to find the sky." -Harry Chapin "Taxi"
"It's all I can do to swing out of bed in the mornings and stumble to the shower, which has come to be my only pleasure. I am beginning to look like the portrait of Dorian Gray; pretty soon I am going to have the mirrors taken out." -Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
"Guaranteed Fear and Loathing. Abandon all Hope. Prepare for Weirdness. Get familiar with Cannibalism." -Dr. Hunter S. Thompson 11/20/00
"Ah, but I was so much older then; I'm younger now." -Bob Dylan
"What is an angel but a ghost in drag." -Stan Rice
"How dreadful! I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about it's use. It is hitting below the intellect." -Lord Henry "Portrait of Dorian Gray" Oscar Wilde
"The loveliness of Paris
Seems somehow sadly grey
The glory that was Rome
Is of another day
I've been terribly alone and
forgotten in Manhatten
And I'm coming home to my city by the bay." -George Cory Jr. and Douglass Cross 1954 "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" (rededicated to Boston)
"After dark, the pools seem to have slipped away
The alligator, who has five distinct calls:
friendliness, love, mating, war, and a warning -
whimpers and speaks in the throat
Of the Indian Princess." -Elizabeth Bishop "Florida" 1946
