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. Now, regarding room assignments... "Elphaba & Galinda Raise Their Hands. She Notices Galinda First." Yes, is this regarding room assignments?"
Galinda: "Oh, Madame, thank you for asking, but I've already been assigned a private suite... "Noticing Her Followers' Disappointment. "But you can all come visit me whenever you want!"
Shen Shen: "How good of you!"
Pfanee: "You are so good!"
Galinda:" No I'm not!"
Both: "Yes you are!"
Galinda: "Now stop! "Swishes Her Hair.
Morrible:" Do you have a question?"
Galinda: "Yes, you see, I am Galinda Upland of the Upperuplands... I've applied to your sorcery seminar, and indeed that is my sole purpose of attending Shiz; to study sorcery with you. Perhaps you recall my essay, "Magic Wands, Need They Have A Point"."
Morrible: "Yes... However, I do not teach my seminar every semester, unless, of course, somebody special were to come along."
Galinda: "Well, exactly!"
Elphaba: "We have not yet received our room assignments."
Morrible: "Yes, yes, of course! Oh, You must be Miss Nessarose, the governor's daughter. What a tragically beautiful face you have! "Sees Elphaba, snorts..."And you must be."
Elphaba: "I'm the other daughter. Elphaba. I'm beautifully tragic."
Morrible:" Yes, yes, I'm sure you're very bright."
Galinda: "Bright? She's phosphorescent. "



Dillamond: "Settle down, now! I have read your most recent essays. And I am amazed to report the progress! Although, some of us still tend to favor form over content... Ms. Glinda."
Galinda: "It's GAlinda. "
Dillamond: "Excuse me... G*weird noise*linda."
Galinda: "I really don't see what the problem is. Every other professor seems to be able to pronounce my name."
Elphaba: "Maybe pronouncing your precious name isn't the sole purpose of Doctor Dillamond's life. Maybe he's not like every other professor. Maybe some of us are different."
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 drought."
Dillamond: "Exactly. Food grew scarce, people grew hungrier and angrier. And the question became "Whom can we blame?" Can anyone tell me what is meant by the term "Scapegoat"?" Elphaba Raises Hand." Someone besides Miss Elphaba? Ah yes, Miss Glinda..."
Galinda: "It's GAlinda... with a GA. I don't see why you can't just teach us history instead of always harping on the past."




Fiyero & Avaric Enter.
Avaric: "Here we are, sir! Shiz University!"
Fiyero: "What? Already?"
Avaric: "Yes, sir."
Fiyero: "What a shame. Well, we'll see you soon, Avaric. Don't worry, I won't last longer at this school than I did at any of the others."
Avaric Exits.
Boq: "Uh, miss Galinda, I know I'm just a munchkin, but munchkins have feelings too, and I've been trying to tell you mine, for you. But sometimes it seems like you don't even know I'm there."
Galinda: "That's not true, Biq."
Boq: "It's Boq."
Galinda: "Biq, do you know who that is? That's Fiyero Tiggular, tha Winkie Prince whose reputation is so scandalacious!"
Boq Looks Disgusted. Fiyero Walks Toward Them. Galinda Swishes Her Hair. Fiyero, Noticing Her Strange Behavior, Does The Same.
Galinda: To Fiyero. "Were you looking for something or someone?"
Fiyero: "Uhhh yea... history... class? I don't know... somewhere?"
Boq: "History building is way over there my friend..."
Galinda: "That class just ended! "
Fiyero: "Oh! Perfect timing! So, uh, what does one do for fun around here?"
Galinda:" Nothing really... until now..."
Boq: "We've been studying!"
Fiyero: "Well, I see that once again the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me. Fortunately, I'm up for the task."





Galinda: "Now I must accessorize myself for Fiyero."
Shen Shen Pulls The Witch's Hat Out Of One Of Galinda's Hat Boxes.
Pfanee: "Galinda, what in Oz's name!?"
Galinda: "Now, just pretend you didn't see that. My granny is always giving me the most hideodeous hats. I'd give it away, but I don't hate anyone that much."
Shen Shen: "Yes you do!"
Pfanee: "Give it to her! Just do it!"
They All Stare At Elphaba. Galinda Walks Forward, Meeting Elphaba Half Way.
Elphaba: "Galinda, listen, Nessa and I were talking about you just now..."
Galinda: "And I was just talking about you! I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!" Gives Her The Hat.





Elphaba: "This is never going to work!"
Galinda: "Oh Elphie, you mustn't think that way anymore! Your whole life is going to change... and all because of me. Okay, stand... I will turn your frock into a beautiful ball gown! Stand up... "She Picks Up Her Wand And Waves It. "Ball gown!!!" Nothing Happens, So She Repeats. "Ball gown!!! "Still Nothing Happens. She Taps Her Wand On The Bed. "Is this thing on?"
Elphaba: "Do you want me to try?"
Galinda: "No, I've got it!" She Throws The Wand Down." Oh, just wear the frock... it's pretty! Now, I'll show you how to flip your hair: Flip flip. C'mon: Flip Flip" Elphaba tries to flip her hair "Okay, now faster: Flip Flip" FLips her hair a little faster, as does Elphaba "Now no hands: FLip Flip" THey both flip their hair "Faster: Flip Flip!" They both start to twitch their heads instead of flipping their hair. "Or, you can use your whole body." Falls onto bed. Squeals. "Now, for the finishing touch." Takes flower out of her hair, puts it into Elphaba's. "Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you, you're beautiful. "Hands her the mirror.
Elphaba: After Looking In The Mirror. "I... I have to go."
She Runs Off.
Galinda:" You're Welcome! "She Admires Herself In The Mirror.




The Students Are In Dr. Dillamond's Class In Desks. Elphaba Walks In Outrageously Dressed.
Fiyero walks over to Elphaba and stares at her.
Elphaba: Flips her hair ".. Flip Flip! What?"
Fiyero: "Nothing, it's just... you've been "Galinda-fied". You don't have to do that , you know?"






Those are part of the first act. I have many more blaugh
