Oncie looked over to Once-ler, who stood with his eyes down casted. His mother was making him leave his one true love. Once-ler looked at him with sadness. The Fullmetal Heart agency offered both of them a job at the agency. Oncie would work for Sector 7 and Once-ler would work with his brother-in-law in Sector 13. Two of the agents, Phineas Flynn-Fletcher-Jones and Belle Kirkland, were standing next to Once-ler, waiting for his answer. "Oncie, time to go," his mother said, standing near the RV. Once-ler looks at him, now wearing his S-13 uniform similar to his green suit, except it was black sadly asked, "Are you coming or going with them?" He then begins to sing:
I hope you're happy!
I hope you're happy now
I hope you're happy how you hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you're clever!
Oncie then begins to sing along:
I hope you're happy
I hope you're happy, too
I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
Together their voices rang through the skies.
So though I can't imagine how
I hope you're happy now
His mother looks into Oncie's eyes. "Oncie, listen to me. Just come with me."
You can still be with me
What you've worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted
Oncie looks at her. "I know…"
But I don't want it
No-I can't want it
Anymore
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
She looks at her son as if he's gone crazy. She then said:
"Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur!"
He looks at her with a brand-new light. His clothes turn into a beautiful white and golden uniform. He had made his decision.
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Once-ler smiles at Oncie's decision. They can be together forever. "Come with me," he says, "Think of what we could do together…."
Unlimited
Together we are unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Once-ler grabs a hold of Oncie's hand. "Dreams, the way we planned 'em."
If we work in tandem
Oncie then joins in.
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
Oncie then sing alone.
They'll never bring us down!
"Well? Are you coming?" Oncie look at Once-ler when he asked that question. Once-ler then sang:
I hope your happy now
Now that you're choosing this
Oncie squeezed his hand, "You too."
I hope it brings you bliss
White bird and black bat wings appeared on their backs. As they headed towards the sky with the two agents right behind them.
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend
Oncie then looked down at his mother and with anger in his voice, he sang.
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'rybody deserves a chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Thneedville or Oz
No axes that there is or ever was
Is ever gonna bring me down
Once-ler joins in with his own solo.
I hope you're happy!
The townspeople see them in the sky. They sing along with them.
Look at them, their wicked!
Get them!
Oncie looks at them.
Bring me down!
The townspeople sing again.
No one mourns the wicked
So we've got to bring them…
Oncie, Once-ler, and the townspeople sing in unison.
Ahhh!
Down!
