[GLINDA]
Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical...
[ELPHABA]
My dear Father...
[BOTH]
THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
OVER ROOMING HERE AT SHIZ ...
[ELPHABA]
BUT OF COURSE, I'LL CARE FOR NESSA ...
[GLINDA]
BUT OF COURSE, I'LL RISE ABOVE IT ...
[BOTH]
FOR I KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU'D WANT ME TO RESPOND
YES, THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION
FOR YOU SEE, MY ROOM-MATE IS ...
[GLINDA]
UNUSUALLY AND EXCEEDINGLY PECULIAR
AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ...
[ELPHABA]
BLONDE.
[GLINDA]
WHAT IS THIS FEELING
SO SUDDEN AND NEW?
[ELPHABA]
I FELT THE MOMENT
I LAID EYES ON YOU ...
[GLINDA]
MY PULSE IS RUSHING ...
[ELPHABA]
MY HEAD IS REELING ...
[GLINDA]
MY FACE IS FLUSHING ...
[BOTH]
WHAT IS THIS FEELING?
FERVID AS A FLAME
DOES IT HAVE A NAME?
YES!...
LOATHING
UNADULTERATED LOATHING ...
[GLINDA]
FOR YOUR FACE...
[ELPHABA]
YOUR VOICE ...
[GLINDA]
YOUR CLOTHING ...
[BOTH]
LET'S JUST SAY -- I LOATHE IT ALL!
EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT, HOWEVER SMALL
MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL
WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING
THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION
IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION
IT'S SO PURE! SO STRONG!
THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST
STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST
AND I WILL BE LOATHING
LOATHING YOU
MY WHOLE LIFE LONG!
[STUDENTS]
DEAR GLINDA, YOU ARE JUST TOO GOOD!
HOW DO YOU STAND IT? I DON'T THINK I COULD!
SHE'S A TERROR! SHE'S A TARTAR!
WE DON'T MEAN TO SHOW A BIAS
BUT GLINDA YOU'RE A MARTYR!
[GLINDA]
WELL ... THESE THINGS ARE SENT TO TRY US!
[STUDENTS]
POOR GLINDA, FORCED TO RESIDE
WITH SOMEONE SO DISGUSTICIFIED
WE JUST WANT TO TELL YOU ...
WE'RE ALL ON YOUR SIDE!
WE SHARE YOUR ...
