OOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD - the reason you couldn't remember any funny quotes from WICKED is because there really aren't any - it's like child soap opera writing, it's dreadful. Make this post go away, please.

No need to be mean. Wicked's book may not be Shakespeare or Sondheim, but the show can be a genuinely enjoyable evening at the theatre, with some actually funny lines. I must say, I enjoyed it. Try simly scripts dot com for a complete script. You've got to search a bit, and follow some other link, which I'm not certain of at this time, so good luck.
The show is very enjoyable, and I was a fan when I saw it in previews - I have a few friends in the cast so I saw it through rehearsals and stuff. I enjoyed it very much, but still thought it was VERY flawed. It's the fans of the show that make me want to hate it so much. They're hte most irritating creatures that walk to face of the earth. Next to Bush, that is.
It's not the show itself that's the problem - it's the rabid fans who make it seem like it's the embodiment of perfection. I enjoyed it as much as the next person, and liked all the lines that have been listed here, but face it people! There are flaws to the show! There's flaws to EVERY show! Just acknowledge that it's not the best thing ever and we're happy!
(This wasn't directed at any in particular. I'm just saying that's what the big beef is.)
Moving on...yeah.
I coudln't agree more.
*nods as well*
I was there last week, and before that not since last Thanksgiving. I like the show a lot... but I can't deal with rabid Wicked fans who think that it's just the best show ever. It is a decent show, and it's fun and easy to enjoy, but I just want to smack my head when people say that Elphaba is the greatest character to ever be on a Broadway stage. *sigh*
That's why we're friends, emcee.
I finally got peaunts. But they're unsalted and taste like vaginal fluid. Now I want soda.

I think that everyone is entitled to thier personal oppinions/likes/dislikes/etc.
I am sorry that some of you have been deterred from liking the show simply because others greatly enjoy it, but to each their own. I personally think the music from Wicked is wonderful, and thoroughly enjoyed the show!
Morrible/Glinda: "My personal opinion is that you do not have what it takes. I hope you prove me wrong. I doubt you will."
Elphaba: "Just wait a clock tick! I know it may be difficult for that blissful, blonde brain of yours to comprehend that someone like him could actually choose someone like me. But it's happened. It's real. And you can wave that ridiculous wand all you want, but you can't change it! He doesn't belong to you, he never loved you, and he never did! He loves me!"
even though this thread has unfortunately completely gone to pot, here are my favorite lines:
elphaba: you really don't have to do that.
galinda: i know. that's what makes me so nice.
(ok, it's on the CD ... sorry, i've only seen the show once.)

Galinda: Elphie. May I call you Elphie?
Elphaba: Well, it's a little perkie!
Galinda: I really don't see what the problem is. Every other
professor seems to be able to pronounce my name.
Elphaba: Maybe perfecting the pronounciation of your precious
name isn't the sole focus of Dr. Dillamond's life. And
maybe he's not like everyother professor. Maybe some of
us are different.
Galinda: Well, it seems the artichoke is steamed!

wow...i was surprised that the string of great wicked quotes went for as long as it did before being bashed by yet another "why do people like this show" quote. Haha. You never disappointment munkus!
i personally like all the glinda vocabulary. Hideodious comes in handy quite often!

The Wizard: So, which is witch?
Glinda:(To Dorothy) Thats right! You just that one road the whole time!....I hope they dont get lost. I'm so bad at giving directions.
Nessa: Whats in the punch?
Boq: Lemons and melons and pears.
Nessa: Oh, my!
And the exact bubble line is...
Glinda: And just what exactly have you been doing besides riding around on the filthy old thing?
Elphaba: Well, we cant all come and go by bubble!

ha, next to bush...
Thanks munkus, that has been the first time I laughed in the past two days. :)
" i personally like all the glinda vocabulary. Hideodious comes in handy quite often! "
-- you use those words in conversation?

Haha - hideodious comes in handy when you're with you are out shopping with girlfriends. "That dress is HIDEODIOUS--DON'T YOU DARE BUY IT!" And this is true even if I am not a teen like 90% of the Wicked fans out there. I'm trying to work it into my legal lingo, ah, but I don't think a judge would like it if I told him that the opposing party's baseless claims are hideodious. Hahaha. If I didn't have to worry about reprimands and monetary sanctions, I'd try it just to see the judge's reaction.

A couple of my favorites are:
One of the guards to Fiyero, I think:
"There's a goat on the lam, sir"
and
Nessa screams when Elphaba shows up at her house.
Elphaba:"I'm sorry. Did I scare you? I seem to have that effect on people.
Nessa:"What are you doing here?"
Elphaba:"Well, there's no place like home."

G(a)linda: (after she has just seen Elphaba get accepted into M.M's sorcery class) This'll probably just make me a better person!
Elphaba: You're the only friend I've ever had...
Glinda: (crying)...and I've had so many..
Fieryo: *something about his castle-how nobody stays in one of them* You'll be safe there!
Elphaba: Well, where do you stay?
Fieryo: The other castle.
Broadway Legend Joined: 10/5/04
Fieryo: Listen, I've been thinking about that day a lot.
Elphaba: So do I
Galinda: *no idea what they are talking about*....Me too! I think about it constantly!
Something like:
Glinda: *introducing herself* Glinda-the 'GA' is silent.
Glinda: I don't even think he's perfect anymore-and I still want him!...this must be what other people feel like..
I'll probably think of more..
"Well, we can't all come and go by bubble...." Elphaba
"Well, it seems the beautiful only get more beautiful while the green just get greener." Elphaba
(This is a line that Jennifer Laura Thompson made up on her own, it wasn't in the script!) "Oh! Pink goes good on green!" Galinda
" I don't even think he's perfect anymore and I still want him! This must be what other people feel like" Glinda
"I don't get my way! Eh, I guess...this...will just make me... a....better person..." Galinda
"What is it? Do I have something in my teeth? Oh, well, let's get this over with. No I'm not seasick. Yes, I've always been green. No I didn't chew grass as a child. No I-" Elphaba
Nessa: What's in the punch?
Boq:Lemons, Melons, and Pears
Nessa: Oh my!
Nessa: What are you doing here?
Elphaba: Well, there's no place like home!
"Oh, let the girl go and that poor little dog, Dodo!" Glinda
Elphaba: Maybe pronouncing your precious name isn't the sole purpose of Dr Dillamond's life. Maybe some of us are different!"
Galinda: Well, it seems the artichoke is steamed!
Elphaba: I want to remember this moment forever, Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring, finally I'm somewhere I belong."
Glinda: You look Positively Emerald!
Glinda: That's right you follow that one road the whole time...Oh, I do hope they don't get lost, I'm so bad at giving directions!"
Elphaba: "Do you ever want to see your Auntie Em and your Uncle What's-His-Name again?? Then get those shoes off your feet! Stupid little brat! Taking shoes off of a dead women's feet, must have been raised on a barn!"
Elphaba: Well, what could he have gotten me, I mean I clash with everything.
Ok, I pretty much know the show better than my name so that's why I'm listing on and on but I'm sure you all are thinking obsessive....Ok that's true but...hmmm... I have no response with a hypothetical argument I'm having... that's sad....
