[00:00.00] Fiyero
[00:00.92] The trouble with schools is
[00:02.83] They always try to teach the wrong lesson
[00:08.10] Believe me, I've been kicked out
[00:09.66] Of enough of them to know
[00:14.72] They want you to become less callow
[00:16.36] Less shallow
[00:18.17] But I say: why invite stress in?
[00:22.86] Stop studying strife
[00:26.08] And learn to live "the unexamined life"...
[00:40.35] Dancing through life
[00:41.99] Skimming the surface
[00:44.05] Gliding where turf is smooth
[00:48.64] Life's more painless
[00:50.73] For the brainless
[00:52.50] Why think too hard?
[00:54.44] When it's so soothing
[00:56.71] Dancing through life
[00:58.45] No need to tough it
[01:00.77] When you can sluff it off as I do
[01:04.91] Nothing matters
[01:06.63] But knowing nothing matters
[01:09.07] It's just life
[01:11.35] So keep dancing through...
[01:17.12] Dancing through life
[01:18.96] Swaying and sweeping
[01:21.31] And always keeping cool
[01:25.87] Life is faught less
[01:27.52] When you're thoughtless
[01:29.51] Those who don't try
[01:31.49] Never look foolish
[01:33.84] Dancing through life
[01:35.70] Mindless and careless
[01:37.74] Make sure you're where less
[01:39.73] Trouble is rife
[01:41.82] Woes are fleeting
[01:43.90] Blows are glancing
[01:46.09] When you're dancing
[01:49.12] Through life...
[01:58.93] So—what's the most swankified place in town?
[02:01.95] Galinda
[02:02.29] That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.
[02:03.18] Fiyero
[02:04.54] Sounds perfect.
[02:07.07] Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:10.71] We'll meet there later tonight
[02:15.36] We can dance till it's light
[02:18.19] Find the prettiest girl...
[02:20.87] Give her a whirl
[02:23.02] Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:27.65] Come on—Follow me
[02:31.37] You'll be happy to be there...
[02:34.67] Students
[02:34.73] Dancing Through Life
[02:37.16] Down at the Ozdust...
[02:38.59] Fiyero
[02:39.43] If only because dust
[02:41.29] Is what we come to
[02:42.88] Students
[02:43.18] Nothing matters
[02:45.21] But knowing nothing matters
[02:47.51] It's just life...
[02:53.69] Fiyero
[02:53.89] So keep dancing through...
[02:58.78] Boq
[02:59.74] Miss Galinda—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me.
[03:03.16] I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
[03:04.70] Galinda
[03:05.18] Oh—that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
[03:12.05] See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
[03:15.30] The one in the chair
[03:18.09] Iit seems so unfair
[03:20.06] We should go on a spree
[03:21.96] And not she
[03:23.12] Gee—
[03:24.14] I know someone would be my hero
[03:27.31] If that someone were
[03:30.13] To go invite her...
[03:33.11] Boq
[03:33.34] Well maybe, I could invite her?
[03:34.99] Galinda
[03:36.25] Oh, Bick, really?
[03:38.47] You would do that for me?
[03:41.43] Boq
[03:41.53] I would do anything for you Miss Galinda.
[03:43.80] Galinda
[03:45.18] So...
[03:46.34] Fiyero
[03:46.76] So I'll be picking youup around eight?
[03:48.91] Galinda
[03:49.87] After all
[03:52.54] Now that we've met one another
[03:55.68] Galinda & Fiyero
[03:55.90] It's clear we deserve each other
[03:58.42] Galinda
[03:59.57] You're perfect...

[04:01.24] So we're perfect together
[04:03.72] Born to be forever...
[04:07.02] Dancing Through Life...
[04:10.74] Nessarose
[04:14.12] Oh, Elphaba—Isn't it wonderful?

[04:25.06] With this Munchkin boy
[04:27.03] Galinda found for me
[04:30.01] And I only wish there were
[04:32.70] Something I could do for her
[04:36.08] To repay her
[04:38.97] Elphaba, see
[04:41.84] We deserve each other
[04:43.90] And Galinda helped it come true

[06:30.20] Now I know it isn't fair...
[06:32.78] Nessarose
[06:33.43] Oh, Boq. I know why.
[06:35.14] Boq
[06:35.80] You do?
[06:35.95] Nessarose
[06:37.02] It's because I'm in this chair
[06:39.55] And you felt sorry for me

[06:43.74] Boq
[06:43.99] No! no! It's because...because...
