Morrible Enters. She Is Carrying An Umbrella And Holds It Over Elphaba To Protect Her From The Rain.

Gwen: Miss Elphaba, there you are!

Heather: Madame Morrible...

Gwen: Oh Miss Elphaba, I finally heard back from the Wizard!

Heather: The Wizard?

Gwen: Yes, he wishes to meet you!

Heather: He asked for me?

Gwen: Yes! I know how devastated you were the other day for our poor Doctor Dillamond, but I can assure you my dear, as one door closes, another one opens. She Hands Her A Green Envelope.

Heather: Madame, I don't know what to say! How can I ever thank you? She Hugs Her.

Gwen: Oh careful dear, you musn't get wet She Places The Umbrella Back Over Elphaba's Head. Oh, I know! She Waves Her Hands And The Sun Comes Out. Didn't I tell you? Weather is my specialty. Oz-speed, my dear! Make me proud.

Heather: I will, I'll try.

Morrible Exits.

Heather:

AND THERE WE'LL FINALLY BE

THE WIZARD AND I...

The Scene Reopens At A Train Station.

Conductor: All aboard!

Dakota: Remember, eye contact. And don't forget to tell him how wonderful he is, Wizards love that! And be yourself... well... within reason.

Boq Wheels Nessarose Onstage.

Cassie: Elphaba, I'm so proud of you and I know father would be too. We're all proud, aren't we?

Heather: You'll be alright, won't you?

Dakota: She'll be fine! Biq will take care of her, right?

Boq: ...It's Boq... I... I can't do this anymore.

He Exits.

Cassie: Boq...

Dakota: Nessa, maybe he's just not the right one... for you.

Cassie: No, it's me that's not right. Elphaba, just go, I'll be fine.

She Wheels Herself Offstage.

Heather: Nessa, wait!

Dakota: Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will.

Heather: Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone. Besides, you have Fiyero. Where is he, anyway? Not that I expected him to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other.

Dakota: I don't know him either. He's distant, and moodified, and he's been thinking, which really worrries me. I never knew how much he cared about that old goat.

Fiyero Enters.

Dakota: Oh, there he is! Fiyero, over here dearest!

Alejandro: He Hands Elphaba Flowers. Elphaba, I'm happy for you.

Dakota: Yes, we are both so happy...

Alejandro: Uh, listen, I've been thinking...

Heather: Yes, I've heard.

Alejandro: About that Lion cub and... everything. I think about that day a lot.

Heather: Really? So do I.

Dakota: Me too! Poor Doctor Dillamond. It makes one want to... uh... take a stand. So I've been thinking of... uh... changing my name.

Alejandro: Your name?

Dakota: Well, yes! Since Doctor Dillamond had his own way of pronouncing my name, in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known no longer as Galinda, but as simply, Glinda.

Alejandro: Oh well, that's very admirable of you... Glinda. To Elphaba. Elphaba, good luck.

He Runs Off.

Dakota: There, see?

Heather: Galinda...

Dakota: It's Glinda now. Stupid idea, I don't even know what made me say it.

Heather: It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you!

Dakota: I don't care! I want him. I don't even think he's perfect anymore and I still want him. This must be what other people feel like. How do they bear it? They embrace.
