Wicked Lines
Posted by WiCkEDrOcKS 2004-07-01 18:23:42.0

Since there's already a post about funny Ave. Q lines, what are some of the funny/moving/best lines from Wicked? I can't wait for the book to come out! Winnie Holzman really did wonders for the show!
*QUOTES??/POSTS???*

I've always loved the line in The Wizard and I where Elphaba says, "I'd be so happy, I could melt". Ironic, huh?

"ive had so many friends"

OH, and in What is this feeling?, when Galinda says, "unuuuusually and excedingly pecuuuuuliar and all together quite impooooossible to descriiiiiiibe" and Elphaba says, "blonde!"

some favorites:

"well, the artichoke is steamed" - glinda

"we cant all come and go by bubble" - elphaba

Nessa: What are you doing here?
Elphaba: theres no place like home

"Elphie, i no you dont want to hear this but someones got to say it! You are out of control, theyre just shoes let it go!" ~ Glinda

"Let the girl go and her poor dog dodo"~ glinda

"yes, just follow that one road the whole time"~ glinda

"youve been galindafied"~ fiyero

blah
blah
blah

I don't understand why you can't just teach us history instead of all this harping on the past.

O yeah and...

Nessa: Oh, Elphaba SHUT UP....First of al, I can't harbor a fugitive, I'm an unelected official.


Fiyero: So...I've been thinking.
Elphaba: Yes, I...heard.


and many more.

i think that the reasons a lot of those lines work is because Kristin is a comic genious

double posting! i am ashamed...

The line I posted was hilarious was Laura Bell Bundy said it as well, and she did it completely differently from Kristin.

Also Laura (and Kristin) does this line great:
"Have you ever thought of how you'd fair in captivity....prison? My personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong...I doubt you will."


And now I will shut up before I type up the entire book of this show.

i'm partial to

back where i come from we believe all sorts of things that aren't true....we call it history

i love the line when galinda changes her name.

i forget the actual line but its in the galinda/ elphie catfight when galinda says "speaking of taking things that don't belong to us" or something like that

and then moments later with "are you done...good" slap back.

HAHAHA! These are all great! Keep posting! Kudos to Winnie Holzman!

when is the book coming out????!!!!????!!!

not any time soon....if ever.

You must think I'm really stupid don't you

No not really stupid

Galinda: "Something is wrong. I didn't get my way...I need to lie down!"

Then later...

"This must be what everyone else feels like!"

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

Morrible: Miss Elphaba, I hear you're very...bright.
Galinda: Bright? She's phosphorescent.

directorkid, the book was written in 1995.

Book is another term for the script, I think. Could be wrong though.

I love the line, "Stupid farmgirl... who takes a dead woman's shoes... must've been raised in a barn!" LOL I don't know, just the way Idina says it makes me laugh.

lol...swankified, i love that line too....I love how Idina changes her voice there and she speaks more like the witch in the movie would have.

I'm partial to the scene at the Ozdust Ballroom:
Galinda: "what's in this punch?"
Fieryo: "Mellons and lemons and pears"
Galinda: "oh my!"

DT-
I could be mistaken, but aren't those lines said bt Nessa and Boq??

tennis, they are...in previews they were said by Glinda and Fiyero.

oh i have a bunch!

Galinda: Can I call you Elphie?
Elphaba: Well, its a little perkie
Galinda: and you can call me.....Galinda!

Glinda:I'm a public figure now, people expect me to...
Elphaba: Lie?
Glinda: BE ENCOURAGING!!!!

Galinda: Fiyero and I are going to be married! EEEEEE! [high pitched cheno-squeal]
Elphaba: He asked you already?
Galinda: No..he doesnt know yet

Elphaba: What, what're you all staring at? Is there something in my teeth? Alright fine, lets get this over with. No I'm not seasick. Yes I've always been green. No I did not eat grass as a child.

Galinda: Is that the grimery?!
Madame Morrible: Yes.
Galinda: Can I touch it?
Madame Morrible : (Pause)...no.

Galindao you remember my essay? 'Magic Wands- Need they have a point'

Glinda: I don't even think he's perfect anymore and I still want him. This must be what other people feel like.

Nothing can beat the opening entrance of Kristin Chenoweth. The audience are in such anticipation of this majorly-hyped show and then suddenly, in a matter of seconds, its reputation is confirmed.

Broadwaygirl, that is an interesting fact. Thanks! I guess we are both correct :)

Two of my favorite tender moments...(paraphrased from memory)

Fiyero: Look at her. Well you can say one thing about her, she doesn't give a damn what anybody else thinks.
Galinda: Of course she does, she just pretends not to...

And then, of course:

Elphaba: You're the only friend I've ever had.
Glinda; I've had lots of friends...but only one that mattered.

One moment that gives me chills:

"You and I have nothing in common. I am nothing like you and I never will be, and I will fight you 'till the day that I die!"


I'm sorry. I said I would stop doing this but, apparently I never will.

Galinda: That was your very first party...ever?
Elphaba: Do funerals count?

fiyero- listin i have been thinking!
eLPHIE- yes ive heard!!!

glinda- "is this what other people feel like. when you dont get there ways --haha somethign like that

"its really ah...sharp ...dont u think? u know black...is this years pink,u deserve each other...this hat and u both so ....smart! u deserve each other...so here...out of the goodness of my heart"
"i hope ur happy...i hope ur happy now"

"I don't start commotions I am one"-Elphaba

"I'm Beautifully Tragic"-Elphaba

"Oh and this is my younger sister nessarose,as you can see shes a perfectly normal color!-Elphaba

"Ball gown....BALL GOWN!!"-Galinda
"Do you want me to try?"-Elphaba
"No I can do it!:Throws wand:You can just stay in that frock...it's pretty!!"-Galinda

"It's good to see me..isn't it?Do need to answer rhetorical"-Glinda

"::Toss ::Toss:: What??""-Elphaba
"Nothing it's just you've been..Galindafied.You know you don't need to do that"-Fieyro

"LET THE GREEN GIRL GO!!"-Fieyro

"Well we can't all come and go by bubble.Who made that thing?The wizard.But I'm sure even if he didn't he would take the credit for it!"-Elphaba

"Oh Nessa..please please please forgive me"-Elphaba
"Elphie...don't blame yourself.It is a horrible thing to get a house dropped on you."-Glinda

"Thats right just follow that one road the whole time...I hope they don't get lost I'm so horrible at giving directions"-Glinda

I love it when Boq and Nessa arrive at the Stardust Ballroom.

Nessa: What's in this punch?
Boq: Melons, pears and berries.
Nessa: OH MY!!

Gotta love it!

Um....Elphaba4 get your lines right. No where in wicked do they say that.

um, they do actually ... try getting your lines right first

"You know black is this year's pink!"

When i saw it and one of the sets didn't come on, Galinda said
"and to think, this whole set cost 1 million dollars!"

she also later said (when trying out the wand) "If my bed didn't work, how should I expect this too?!?!"

(trying to show shes protesting to help the animals by changing her name) G(a)linda: Hi the name's Glinda the "ga" is silent!

Derech2 and Elphaba4- no, MTRBOI24 was right, that's not said, it's "What's in the punch?" "Lemons, melons, and pears." "Oh my!". Sorry- that was bothering me. And this isn't a line, but I just loved it how in Defying Gravity Glinda finds that shawl out of nowhere to give to Elphaba, I just found it funny. I also liked Galinda saying, "It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to answer! That was rhetorical!". Elphaba and her entrance to Shiz, "What? What's everyone looking at? Is there something in my teeth? Is my underskirt showing? Ok, lets get this over with. No, I am not seasick, yes, I was born green, and no, I didn't eat grass as a child." And my favorite was "Let the green girl go!" It's just so funny in the actual play. And yet another non-line, in the cornfield scene when they fight with the broom and wand- it cracks me up. All my other favorites have been said.

Man I love all of them that have been mentioned. But there are some more I like. One the night I saw it there were a few times where things were meseed up that were totally hilllarious. Like in the scene where Elphaba is talking to Docter Dillamond, the board doesn't latch (so it keeps flipping back to the side with the history notes), and Idina, keeps trying to get it to stay and she says "I can't get this to stay up" 8while laughing* and Dr. Dillamond replies "Just leave it there." It was hillarious. And the part where Elphaba and Glinda start fighting. When Glinda started twirling her wand, Idina started cracking up, causing the others to start laughing, so they couldn't ge out some of there lines for that scene. And Idina was still cracking up when Joey McIntyre (He played fiyero when I saw it) came swinging in on the rope. And you know that scenes s'pose to be all heroic, but it was just so hillarious with her cracking up.

And anoter funny line was when Elphaba went to see Nessa after she was with Fiyero. It went something like:
Fiyero: "My family has a castle in Kiam Ko. No one is ever there except for the sentrals that guard it. We've never lived there."
Elphaba: "Then where do you live?"
Fiyero: "The other castle."
Elphaba: "Oh, es. Of course..."

It was so great. Wicked is my alltime favorite musical
