Quote from Wicked...

I saw Wicked the other night for the first time (and by the way, it was AMAZING!), and I was wondering if any of you out there knew a quote from it.

Galinda says it to Dr. Dillamond towards the beginning about history. I'm a history major and I loved it 'cause it was so funny. She said something like, "Why don't you teach us history and stop going back in the past?"

Does anybody know the exact quote?! Thanks so much for your help!

I think this is it if my memory serves


Galinda: I don't understand why you can't just teach us history instead of always harping on the past.

a little offtopic but another great history quote from wicked is when elphaba confronts the wizard during "Wonderful", the Wizard says to her:
"Where I'm from, we believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it 'history'."

the quote is

"And I don't see why you can't just teach us history instead of always harping on the past."
