[00:00.400]Fiyero
[00:00.500]The trouble with schools is
[00:02.460]They always try to teach the wrong lesson
[00:07.600]Believe me, I've been kicked out
[00:09.660]Of enough of them to know
[00:14.210]They want you to become less callow
[00:15.930]Less shallow
[00:18.110]But I say: why invite stress in?
[00:22.160]Stop studying strife
[00:25.940]And learn to live "the unexamined life"...
[00:39.790]Dancing through life
[00:41.440]Skimming the surface
[00:43.640]Gliding where turf is smooth
[00:48.200]Life's more painless
[00:50.150]For the brainless
[00:52.030]Why think too hard?
[00:53.830]When it's so soothing
[00:56.020]Dancing through life
[00:57.930]No need to tough it
[01:00.110]When you can sluff it off as I do
[01:04.170]Nothing matters
[01:06.230]But knowing nothing matters
[01:08.860]It's just life
[01:10.970]So keep dancing through...
[01:16.750]Dancing through life
[01:18.630]Swaying and sweeping
[01:20.920]And always keeping cool
[01:25.360]Life is faught less
[01:27.340]When you're thoughtless
[01:29.190]Those who don't try
[01:31.560]Never look foolish
[01:33.170]Dancing through life
[01:35.090]Mindless and careless
[01:37.230]Make sure you're where less
[01:39.210]Trouble is rife
[01:41.360]Woes are fleeting
[01:43.310]Blows are glancing
[01:45.480]When you're dancing
[01:48.970]Through life...
[01:58.420]So—what's the most swankified place in town?
[02:01.600]Galinda
[02:01.990]That would be the Ozdust Ballroom.
[02:04.660]Sounds perfect.
[02:06.610]Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:10.200]We'll meet there later tonight
[02:14.740]We can dance till it's light
[02:17.840]Find the prettiest girl...
[02:21.000]Give her a whirl
[02:23.100]Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom
[02:26.740]Come on—Follow me
[02:30.890]You'll be happy to be there...
[02:34.400]Students
[02:34.790]Dancing Through Life
[02:36.820]Down at the Ozdust...
[02:38.600]Fiyero
[02:39.210]If only because dust
[02:41.150]Is what we come to
[02:42.400]Students
[02:42.880]Nothing matters
[02:44.740]But knowing nothing matters
[02:47.410]It's just life...
[02:53.400]Fiyero
[02:53.630]So keep dancing through...
[02:58.700]Boq
[02:59.380]Miss Galinda—I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be right here. Waiting. All night.
[03:05.000]Galinda
[03:05.520]Oh—that's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?
[03:11.550]See that tragic'ly beautiful girl
[03:14.840]The one in the chair
[03:17.640]Iit seems so unfair
[03:19.600]We should go on a spree
[03:22.170]And not she
[03:23.700]Gee—
[03:23.980]I know someone would be my hero
[03:26.850]If that someone were
[03:29.580]To go invite her...
[03:33.400]Boq
[03:33.630]Well maybe, I could invite her?
[03:35.400]Galinda
[03:35.850]Oh, Bick, really?
[03:37.930]You would do that for me?
[03:40.700]Boq
[03:41.220]I would do anything for you Miss Galinda.
[03:44.400]Galinda
[03:44.740]So...
[03:45.900]Fiyero
[03:46.460]So I'll be picking youup around eight?
[03:49.000]Galinda
[03:49.450]After all—
[03:52.220]Now that we've met one another
[03:54.700]Galinda & Fiyero
[03:55.330]It's clear we deserve each other
[03:58.700]Galinda
[03:59.120]You're perfect...
[03:59.700]Fiyero
[04:00.290]You're perfect...
[04:00.400]Galinda & Fiyero
[04:00.690]So we're perfect together
[04:03.620]Born to be forever...
[04:06.730]Dancing Through Life...
[04:13.400]Nessarose
[04:13.740]Oh, Elphaba—Isn't it wonderful?
[04:18.900]Fin'lly for this one night
[04:21.420]I'm about to have a fun night
[04:24.650]With this Munchkin boy
[04:26.580]Galinda found for me
[04:29.520]And I only wish there were
[04:32.370]Something I could do for her
[04:35.590]To repay her
[04:38.640]Elphaba, see
[04:41.600]We deserve each other
[04:43.390]And Galinda helped it come true
[04:47.650]We deserve each other
[04:49.930]Me and Boq -
[04:52.000]Elphaba, please try to understand.
[04:53.700]Elphaba
[04:54.370]I do...
[05:00.280]Galinda, listen. Nessa and I were talking about you just now.
[05:02.500]Galinda
[05:03.070]And I was just talking about you. I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight!
[05:08.010]It's really—uh—sharp
[05:10.150]Don't you think?
[05:11.120]You know—black is this year's pink
[05:14.100]You deserve each other
[05:16.230]This hat and you
[05:17.520]You're both so smart
[05:20.110]You deserve each other
[05:22.610]So here
[05:24.080]Out of the goodness of my heart
[06:18.600]Boq
[06:19.130]Listen—Nessa—
[06:19.600]Nessarose
[06:20.340]Yes?
[06:20.700]Boq
[06:21.340]Uh, Nessa.
[06:22.520]I've got something to confess, a
[06:24.880]Reason why, well—
[06:26.280]Why I asked you here tonight
[06:30.050]Now I know it isn't fair...
[06:32.500]Nessarose
[06:32.980]Oh, Boq. I know why.
[06:35.400]Boq
[06:35.630]You do?
[06:36.600]Nessarose
[06:36.980]It's because I'm in this chair
[06:39.380]And you felt sorry for me
[06:42.480]Well—isn't that right?
[06:43.000]Boq
[06:43.520]No! no! It's because...because...
[06:46.190]Because you are so beautiful
[06:51.000]Nessarose
[06:51.560]Oh, Boq! I think you're wonderful!
[06:54.710]And we deserve each other
[06:57.070]Don't you see, this is our chance?
[07:01.100]We deserve each other
[07:03.480]Don't we, Boq?
[07:04.600]Boq
[07:05.190]You know what?
[07:06.860]Let's dance!
[07:07.600]Nessarose
[07:08.240]What?
[07:10.500]Boq
[07:10.870]Let's Dance!
[07:11.620]Dancing Through Life
[07:13.160]Down at the Ozdust
[07:15.050]If only because dust
[07:17.150]Is what we come to
[07:18.930]And the strange thing:
[07:20.890]You're life could up changing
[07:23.200]While you're dancing
[07:29.390]Through!
[07:35.400]
