Chapter 10: Lion Cub Scene

(At the Lion Cub Scene set.)

Elphaba: (lets Lion go)

Fiyero: What the Oz was that??

Elphaba: (sarcastic) Well, you see, right there's a latch, and you have to do is pull it and- bang- the cage opens!! Incredible, isn't it?

Authoress: (holding up a sign that says "Sarcast-o-meter")

Elphaba: Huh?

Authoress: On a scale from 1 to 10, how sarcastic were you just being?

Elphaba: Ten.

Authoress: That's what I thought.

Fiyero: I meant the part where everyone freezes.

Elphaba: I dunno.

Fiyero: And why didn't I freeze.

Elphaba: I'm gonna guess that's because I have secret crush on you, but hey, what do I know?

Fiyero: A secret crush? Hmm... (moves closer to Elphaba)

Elphaba: (getting closer to Fiyero)

Authoress: (jealous) Fiyero, you know you're still dating Galinda.

Fiyero: (swearing) Gilgamesh!

Authoress: So off you two go.. did you just use Gilgamesh as a swear word??

Fiyero: Yep.

Authoress: Siddhartha you!!

Elphaba: OK, now, let's stop using ancient epic heroes as swear words now...

Authoress: Whatever. (storms off stage, leaving Fiyero and Elphaba alone.)

Fiyero: (reading above line) "Leaving Fiyero and Elphaba alone"... (happily) Hey!!

Elphaba: W00t!!

(A/n: Random fact- the Word Of The Year is w00t. So I had to get it in there somewhere...)

Fiyero: (reaching in to touch Elphaba and gets shocked) What in tarnation?? ... O my!! The gods are punishing me for attempting to cheat on Galinda!! (runs away)

Elphaba: Hands touch... eyes meet...

Authoress: There we go!! Sudden silence, sudden heat...

Elphaba: He may be that boy...

Authoress and Elphaba: But I'm not that girl.

Olive Snook: Don't dream too far...

Elphaba: Don't lose sight of who you are...

Authoress: Don't remember that rush of joy.

Snape: She may be that girl... but I'm not that guy.

Elphaba: Umm, hello... This is my soliloquy, you know.

Snape: But we all can relate to this song.

Authoress: Yeah, it's like our life's theme song... Hold on, shouldn't you be torturing Harry Potter?

Snape: I only hate him because of a really complicated plot!!

Elphaba: Ooh, I'd love to hear this.

Snape: Well, it turns out that I'm...

(Beeped out because of spoilers)

Elphaba: Wow.

Authoress: Double wow.

Olive Snook: Triple wow.

Galinda: One thousand wow!!

Elphaba, Authoress, Olive Snook, and Snape: Galinda!! You're not supposed to be here!! Go away!!

Galinda: OK!! (goes away)

Elphaba: Ev'ry so often we long to steal to the land of what might-have-been...

Olive Snook: But that doesn't soften the ache we feel when reality sets back in...

Authoress: (runs sobbing offstage) I'm sorry!! I'm sorry!!

Olive Snook: OK, then...

Snape: There's a guy I know, she loves her so...

Snape, Authoress, Elphaba, and Olive Snook: I'm not that girl...

Snape: Guy...

(It starts to rain)

Elphaba: Wow, this day just keeps getting better and better. (Seeing Authoress's Sarcast-o-meter) Ten.

Olive Snook: O my!! It's Wednesday at 8!! I have to go!! (runs away)

Elphaba: Well, on the bright side, I guess the rain proves to everyone that I don't melt.

Authoress: Oh yeah!!

Madame Morrible: (comes onstage) Hola!! I have tickets to the Emerald City!!

Elphaba: Yay!!

Madame Morrible: And for reasons even I can't fathom, I got two tickets!! Just to complicate the plot even further!!

Elphaba: Two?

Madame Morrible: Yes, two!! Maybe you can take that Hunky Winky Prince With The Scandalicious Reputation!

Elphaba: Umm...

Madame Morrible: Come on... you know you want to...

Elphaba: OK!! But... it's raining.

Madame Morrible: So?

Elphaba: Well, I was wondering if you had any secret talents to, you know, stop the rain or something.

Madame Morrible: Oh yeah!! (Claps and rain stops) Didn't I ever tell you, dear? Weather is my specialty!

Elphaba: And that is in bold because...

Authoress: That statement will be important later in the play.

Elphaba: Ah. I see. I better go pack my clothes.

Madame Morrible: Pack all of them. I don't think you'll be coming back to Shiz.

Elphaba: Why not??

Madame Morrible: Oh, no reason... (gets a text message) "U r now da wzrds press secrtry! Congrats!" How convenient!!

Elphaba: I know... Texting? Isn't there an age limit to that kinda stuff? Like, 20 years old?

Madame Morrible: Lol. C u l8r!!

Elphaba: Spare me...

Madame Morrible: ;-)
