Misc Song

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
Have Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stopped Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Lose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Now Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Give So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet~ Michael Buble. song: "Haven't Met You Yet."

Wicked Quotes

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend: ~Elphaba, song: "For Good."

"Her grin became a full fledged smile when the woman in her own arms started snoring softly. “And here I thought you were just in an extra cuddly mood.” She looked down at the sleeping blonde with complete and udder adoration before pulling her closer. “I can’t imagine my life without you in it Glinda Upland.” ~Elphaba from the story Morrible Rising by Love That Wicked

"Well we can't all come and go by bubble." ~Elphaba

"Elphaba couldn’t help but grin, and gently squeezed Glinda’s hand with a warm affection, to confirm her words, before grabbing her black pointed hat that almost flew off her head because of the wind." ~Elphaba

"Unlimited. Together we're unlimited." Elphaba said, with a grin, before taking the blonde's hand. ~Elphaba

"Okay, let's get this over with. No, I'm not seasick, yes, I've always been green, no I didn't chew grass as a child." ~Elphaba

"Elphaba’s heart seemed to melt at these words. She then took Glinda’s hand into her own and squeezed it gently, and wrapped her free around the Good Witch’s shoulder." ~Elphaba

"Glinda! Is it true you were her friend?" "No. I was her lover." That news spread like wildfire. And for the first time since Elphaba's death, Glinda felt good." ~from the story Green Drabbles By: TheatreBrat

"Once Elphaba saw Glinda, she grinned, ran up to her as fast as she could, and threw her emerald arms around the Good Witch in a tight embrace." ~Elphaba

Wizard: "We were having a discussion upstairs when she suddenly...I don't know. Fainted?"

"You'll be all right," Elphaba said, "now you're a seasoned traveler. This is just the return leg of a voyage you already know." She put her face against Glinda's and kissed her. "Hold out, if you can," she murmured, and kissed her again. "Hold out, my sweet."
The driver clucked the reins, and pitched a cry to leave. Glinda craned her head to see Elphaba drift back into the crowds. For all her singularity of complexion, it was astonishing how quickly she became camouflaged in the ragamuffin variety of street life in the Emerald City. Or maybe it was foolish tears blurring Glinda's vision. Elphaba hadn't cried, of course. Her head turned away quickly as she stepped down, not to hide her tears, but to soften the fact of their absence. But the sting, to Glinda, was real.
(Maguire, 178)
