Since there's already a post about funny Ave. Q lines, what are some of the funny/moving/best lines from Wicked? I can't wait for the book to come out! Winnie Holzman really did wonders for the show!

Posted: 7/1/04 at 6:28pmI've always loved the line in The Wizard and I where Elphaba says, "I'd be so happy, I could melt". Ironic, huh?

Posted: 7/1/04 at 6:51pmI don't understand why you can't just teach us history instead of all this harping on the past.

O yeah and...
Nessa: Oh, Elphaba SHUT UP....First of al, I can't harbor a fugitive, I'm an unelected official.
Fiyero: So...I've been thinking.
Elphaba: Yes, I...heard.
and many more.

Posted: 7/1/04 at 6:56pmi think that the reasons a lot of those lines work is because Kristin is a comic genious

The line I posted was hilarious was Laura Bell Bundy said it as well, and she did it completely differently from Kristin.
Also Laura (and Kristin) does this line great:
"Have you ever thought of how you'd fair in captivity....prison? My personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong...I doubt you will."
And now I will shut up before I type up the entire book of this show.

i love the line when galinda changes her name.
i forget the actual line but its in the galinda/ elphie catfight when galinda says "speaking of taking things that don't belong to us" or something like that
and then moments later with "are you done...good" slap back.

Galinda: "Something is wrong. I didn't get my way...I need to lie down!"
Then later...
"This must be what everyone else feels like!"

Morrible: Miss Elphaba, I hear you're very...bright.
Galinda: Bright? She's phosphorescent.

Book is another term for the script, I think. Could be wrong though.
I love the line, "Stupid farmgirl... who takes a dead woman's shoes... must've been raised in a barn!" LOL I don't know, just the way Idina says it makes me laugh.

I'm partial to the scene at the Ozdust Ballroom:
Galinda: "what's in this punch?"
Fieryo: "Mellons and lemons and pears"
Galinda: "oh my!"
