Forgiveness and Doubt in Wicked
Madame Morrible:
Glinda, dear, can you not find it in your heart to forgive me? With Oz as my witness, I can see now how truly good you are.
Galinda "Glinda" Upland:
Actually, I'm not. Not yet. But just think, Madame. We have so many cages. And all recently vacated. You'll have your pick. Although I can't imagine you'll hold up very well. I mean, my personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong. I doubt you will.

Fiyero Tiggelar:
You can't leave because you can't resist this. That's the truth.

Well, maybe I can't. Is that so wrong? I mean, who could?
Fiyero Tiggelar:
Well, you know who could. We both know who could and who has. And I have to find her because if someone else gets there first, she...
Galinda "Glinda" Upland:
Fiyero, I'm worried for her, too. And I miss her. Can't you see she doesn't want to be found? You've got to face it. She's made her choice.

Unwavering Love and Acceptance of Reality
Elphaba Thropp:
