Lyrics: The Monkeys

(He pulls a switch on the large head and monkeys are let loose. They fly around the theatre and then exit.)

[Elphaba:] Go! Fly! You're free! Fly! Chistery, Chistery, you're free, isn't it wonderful?! Go, fly! (She makes her way to another "Monkey" covered by a sheet.)
[Wizard:] No! No! Please!

(She pulls off the cover, revealing Dr. Dillamond.)

[Elphaba:] No! It can't be! Doctor Dillamond...
[Wizard:] Elphaba, we just couldn't keep letting him speak out...
[Elphaba:] Doctor Dillamond, are you alright? Don't be afraid. It's me, Elphaba.
[Dillamond:] Bahhhhh.
[Elphaba:] Doctor, don't you remember me?
[Dillamond:] Bahhhhh.
[Elphaba:] Can't you speak?
[Dillamond:] Bahhhhh.
[Elphaba:] No... We have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I never will be and I will fight you until the day I die!!!

(The wizard climbs into the head and dr. Dillamond runs offstage.)

[Wizard:] Guards, guards!!!
(Fiyero runs in with his men.)
[Guard:] Halt!
[Fiyero:] Are you alright, your Ozness?
[Elphaba:] Fiyero!
[Fiyero:] I don't believe it...
[Elphaba:] Oh, Fiyero, thank God. I thought you were...
[Fiyero:] Silence witch!!!
[Guard:] There's a Goat on the lam, sir.
[Fiyero:] Never mind all that. Fetch me some... some water.
[Guard:] Water, sir?
[Fiyero:] You heard me, as much as you can carry.
[Guards:] Yes, sir!

(They march off.)

[Elphaba:] Fiyero...
[Fiyero:] I said silence!
[Wizard:] (He runs out of the head.) No! No!
[Fiyero:] Don't make a sound, your Ozness, unless you want all your guests to know the truth about the Wonderful Wizard of Oz... Elphaba, I’ll find Doctor Dillamond later, no get out of here.
[Elphaba:] Fiyero, you frightened me. I thought, I though you might have changed.
[Fiyero:] I have... changed.

(Glinda enters.)

[Glinda:] What's going on... Elphie? Oh, thank Oz you're alive! Only you shouldn't have come. If anyone discoverates you ...
[Fiyero:] Glinda, you'd better go.
[Glinda:] Fiyero, what are you...
[Fiyero:] Please, just go back to the ball.
[Glinda:] Your Ozness, he means no disrespectation. Please understand! You see, we all went to school together...
[Fiyero:] Elphaba!
[Glinda:] Fiyero, have you misplaced your mind? What are you doing?
[Fiyero:] I’m going with her.
[Glinda:] What? What are you saying? You mean all this time... The two of you... behind my back...
[Elphaba:] No, Glinda it wasn't like that!
[Fiyero:] Actually, it was...but it wasn't...Elphaba, let's go... let's go!

(They run off.)

[Glinda:] Fine, go! You deserve each other...
(The wizard holds a small bottle with a green liquid.)
[Wizard:] Here, have a swig of this, it dulls the pain.
[Glinda:] No, thank you.
(Mme. Morrible enters, laughing.)
[Morrible:] Oh, is it true? Your betrothed has taken her into custody?
[Wizard:] Our new captain of the guard had other plans.
[Morrible:] You mean she hasn't been captured?
[Wizard:] Quite the contrary. And considering how well she eluded us last time...
[Morrible:] Well, we'll just flush her out and force her to show herself.
[Wizard:] But how?
[Glinda:] Her sister.
[Morrible:] What? What did she say?
[Glinda:] Use her sister. Spread a rumor. Make her think her sister is in trouble and she will fly to her side... And you'll have her.
[Wizard:] Exactly so.
[Glinda:] Now, if your Ozness will excuse me I have a slight headache, I think I’ll lie down.
(She walks out.)
[Morrible:] Yes, well...a rumor won't do it. Elphaba's too smart for that.
[Wizard:] Far too smart.
[Morrible:] Perhaps, a change in the weather...
