[al:Wicked (Original Broadway Cast)]
[00:00.400] Fiyero
[00:00.500] The trouble with schools is
[00:02.460] They always try to teach the wrong lesson
[00:07.600] Believe me, I've been kicked out
[00:09.660] Of enough of them to know
[00:14.210] They want you to become less callow
[00:15.930] Less shallow
[00:18.110] But I say: why invite stress in?
[00:22.160] Stop studying strife
[00:25.940] And learn to live "the unexamined life"...
[00:39.790] Dancing through life
[00:41.440] Skimming the surface
[00:43.640] Gliding where turf is smooth
[00:48.200] Life's more painless
[00:50.150] For the brainless
[00:52.030] Why think too hard?
[00:53.830] When it's so soothing
[00:56.020] Dancing through life
[00:57.930] No need to tough it
[01:00.110] When you can sluff it off as I do
[01:04.170] Nothing matters
[01:06.230] But knowing nothing matters
[01:08.860] It's just life
[01:10.970] So keep dancing through...
[01:16.750] Dancing through life
[01:18.630] Swaying and sweeping
[01:20.920] And always keeping cool
[01:25.360] Life is faught less
[01:27.340] When you're thoughtless
[01:29.190] Those who don't try
[01:31.560] Never look foolish
[01:33.170] Dancing through life
[01:35.090] Mindless and careless
[01:37.230] Make sure you're where less
[01:39.210] Trouble is rife
[01:41.360] Woes are fleeting
[01:43.310] Blows are glancing
[01:45.480] When you're dancing
[01:48.970] Through life...
[01:58.420] So—what's the most swankified place in town?
[02:01.600] Galinda
[02:01.990] That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.
[02:04.660] Sounds perfect.
[02:06.610] Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:10.200] We'll meet there later tonight
[02:14.740] We can dance till it's light
[02:17.840] Find the prettiest girl...
[02:21.000] Give her a whirl
[02:23.100] Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:26.740] Come on—Follow me
[02:30.890] You'll be happy to be there...
[02:34.400] Students
[02:34.790] Dancing Through Life
[02:36.820] Down at the Ozdust...
[02:38.600] Fiyero
[02:39.210] If only because dust
[02:41.150] Is what we come to
[02:42.400] Students
[02:42.880] Nothing matters
[02:44.740] But knowing nothing matters
[02:47.410] It's just life...
[02:53.400] Fiyero
[02:53.630] So keep dancing through...
[02:58.700] Boq
[02:59.380] Miss Galinda—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
[03:05.000] Galinda
[03:05.520] Oh—that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
[03:11.550] See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
[03:14.840] The one in the chair
[03:17.640] Iit seems so unfair
[03:19.600] We should go on a spree
[03:22.170] And not she
[03:23.700] Gee—
[03:23.980] I know someone would be my hero
[03:26.850] If that someone were
[03:29.580] To go invite her...
[03:33.400] Boq
[03:33.630] Well maybe, I could invite her?
[03:35.400] Galinda
[03:35.850] Oh, Bick, really?
[03:37.930] You would do that for me?
[03:40.700] Boq
[03:41.220] I would do anything for you Miss Galinda.
[03:44.400] Galinda
[03:44.740] So...
[03:45.900] Fiyero
[03:46.460] So I'll be picking youup around eight?
[03:49.000] Galinda
[03:49.450] After all—
[03:52.220] Now that we've met one another
[03:54.700] Galinda & Fiyero
[03:55.330] It's clear we deserve each other
[03:58.700] Galinda
[03:59.120] You're perfect...
[03:59.700] Fiyero
[04:00.290] You're perfect...
[04:00.400] Galinda & Fiyero
[04:00.690] So we're perfect together
[04:03.620] Born to be forever...
[04:06.730] Dancing Through Life...
[04:13.400] Nessarose
[04:13.740] Oh, Elphaba—Isn't it wonderful?
[04:18.900] Fin'lly for this one night
[04:21.420] I'm about to have a fun night
[04:24.650] With this Munchkin boy
[04:26.580] Galinda found for me
[04:29.520] And I only wish there were
[04:32.370] Something I could do for her
[04:35.590] To repay her
[04:38.640] Elphaba, see
[04:41.600] We deserve each other
[04:43.390] And Galinda helped it come true
[04:47.650] We deserve each other
[04:49.930] Me and Boq -
[04:52.000] Elphaba, please try to understand.
[04:53.700] Elphaba
[04:54.370] I do...
[05:00.280] Galinda, listen. Nessa and I were talking about you just now.
[05:02.500] Galinda
[05:03.070] And I was just talking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
[05:08.010] It's really—uh—sharp
[05:10.150] Don't you think?
[05:11.120] You know—black is this year's pink
[05:14.100] You deserve each other
[05:16.230] This hat and you
[05:17.520] You're both so smart
[05:20.110] You deserve each other
[05:22.610] So here
[05:24.080] Out of the goodness of my heart
[06:18.600] Boq
[06:19.130] Listen—Nessa—
[06:19.600] Nessarose
[06:20.340] Yes?
[06:20.700] Boq
[06:21.340] Uh, Nessa.
[06:22.520] I've got something to confess, a
[06:24.880] Reason why, well—
[06:26.280] Why I asked you here tonight
[06:30.050] Now I know it isn't fair...
[06:32.500] Nessarose
[06:32.980] Oh, Boq. I know why.
[06:35.400] Boq
[06:35.630] You do?
[06:36.600] Nessarose
[06:36.980] It's because I'm in this chair
[06:39.380] And you felt sorry for me
[06:42.480] Well—isn't that right?
[06:43.000] Boq
[06:43.520] No! no! It's because...because...
[06:46.190] Because you are so beautiful
[06:51.000] Nessarose
[06:51.560] Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful!
[06:54.710] And we deserve each other
[06:57.070] Don't you see, this is our chance?
[07:01.100] We deserve each other
[07:03.480] Don't we, Boq?
