Unwavering Love and Acceptance of Reality
Elphaba Thropp
Now you just wait a clock tick! It might be hard for you to comprehend that someone like him could choose someone like me, but it's happened, and it's real. And you can wave that ridiculous wand all you want, you can't change it. He never belonged to you. He doesn't love you; he never did. He loves me.

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.
