    I can't even put into words how amazing you are. Singing is one thing, but show tunes are a whole different thing. They take an exceptional amount of characterization and emotion that you don't see in regular singing, and you have it and throw it out there like it's easy. You deserve to be seen by the world and have your name up in lights. You are truly talented. And holy crap! Your range is incredible! When you did those high notes, you didn't even sound like you had to strain to get those out there! I can't wait for the day you make it big.

    It was heart wrenching watching Caleb tear through his budding narcissism in order to to allow each of his schizophrenic-born personalities to branch out and reach their full potential. That pain on his faces when the second round of “I hope you’re happy” came about, just, wow.

    [GLINDA, spoken]
    Elphaba, why couldn't you stay calm for once
    Instead of flying off the handle?
    I hope you're happy
    (sung)
    I hope you're happy now
    I hope you're happy how
    You've hurt your cause forever
    I hope you think you're clever
    [ELPHABA, spoken]
    I hope you're happy
    (sung)
    I hope you're happy too
    I hope you're proud how you
    Would grovel in submission, to feed your own ambition
    [GLINDA & ELPHABA]
    So though I can't imagine how
    I hope you're happy right now
    [GLINDA, spoken]
    Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry!
    (sung)
    You can still be with the wizard
    What you've worked and waited for
    You can have all you ever wanted
    [ELPHABA, spoken]
    I know
    (sung)
    But I don't want it
    No
    I can't want it anymore
    Something has changed within me
    Something is not the same
    I'm through with playing by the rules
    Of someone elses game
    Too late for second-guessing
    Too late to go back to sleep
    It's time to trust my instincts
    Close my eyes and leap!
    It's time to try
    Defying gravity
    I think I'll try
    Defying gravity
    And you can't pull me down
    [GLINDA]
    Can't I make you understand
    You're having delusions of grandeur?
    [ELPHABA]
    I'm through accepting limits
    'Cuz someone says they're so
    Some things I cannot change
    But till I try, I'll never know!
    Too long I've been afraid of
    Losing love I guess I've lost
    Well, if that's love
    It comes at much too high a cost!
    I'd sooner buy
    Defying gravity
    Kiss me goodbye
    I'm defying gravity
    And you can't pull me down
    (spoken)
    Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do-together!
    (sung)
    Unlimited
    Together we're unlimited
    Together we'll be the greatest team
    There's ever been-Glinda!
    Dreams the way we planned 'em
    [GLINDA]
    If we work in tandem
    [GLINDA & ELPHABA]
    There's no fight we cannot win
    Just you and I, defying gravity
    With you and I defying gravity
    [ELPHABA]
    They'll never bring us down!
