--> '''Boq''': Let's dance.
--> '''Nessa''': ...what?

* On a meta-note (and counting also as TearJerker), Kristen Chenoweth singing "''For Good''" at the private funeral of her "''[[TheWestWing West Wing]]''" co-star John Spencer.

** In a similar way when in the german musical "Glinda"-actor Lucy Scherer sang the "''For Good''" reprise in dutch when her dutch "Elphaba" co-star Willemijn Verkaik was leaving the musical on the 27.02.2011.

* Before "As Long as You're Mine" in the musical:
--> '''Elphaba''': I wish I could be more beautiful. For you. And don't say that I am, you don't have to lie to me.
--> [[spoiler: '''Fiyero''']]: It's not lying. It's seeing things differently.

* Elphie and Galinda have been changed... [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome For]] [[LesYay Good.]]
** A slight bit of MoodWhiplash, as Glinda gets in a laugh before getting serious;
--->'''Elphaba''': You're the only friend I ever had.
--->'''Glinda''': I've had so many friends...but only one that mattered.

* In the fourth book, Rain, who didn't pay much attention to other people as a child, has her earliest memories of playing with some animals by herself. At the end of the book, she confronts Glinda with her lonely upbringing - only for Glinda to remind her that she wasn't alone - [[spoiler: Glinda was with her every time]]. She fills in the gaps in Rain's memories, and in doing so completely changes the nature of their relationship.

** [[{{Yandere}} It's more ''obsession'' than anything else.]]

--> '''Galinda: (holding up her new wand)''' Of course she does. She just pretends not to.

** And then when Glinda finally gets the nerve up to dance with Elphaba.

--> '''Boq''': Let's dance!

* A subtle one but think about it: Nessarose's only reaction to Boq's [[spoiler: transformation]] is mild shock at first and then pinning all the blame on Elphaba. How is this heartwarming? Because she could have very ''easily'' rejected him. But she doesn't. That's right, Nessa still loves Boq, still wants him to be with her and doesn't think any less of him, even after [[spoiler: he's been turned into a subhuman being...and ''rejected her'']]. That's real love and dedication right there.

* Watching the last third of the second act in the Musical, knowing the ending. [[spoiler: Knowing what the note Elphaba gets REALLY reads. And what is REALLY driving her subsequent actions. It isn't despair. It is hope that she had long since cast aside.]]

** At the end of the song, when Glinda says they're just "two friends" touring the Emerald City, Elphaba hesitantly adds, "Two ''good'' friends". Glinda gently corrects her; "Two ''best'' friends".

** Just before the "Wiz-o-Mania" performance, Elphaba gushed that she always wanted to remember what it was like being in the Emerald City where no one pointed at her green skin as being odd. Glinda smiled and said, "Elphie, you look positively...emerald!"

-->"Entrancing," she said. "There's some strange exotic quality of beauty about you. I never thought."

* Page 78 in the book:

->They both gazed at the green and flowery spectre reflected in the watery old glass, surrounded by the blackness, driven through with the wild rain beyond.
->A maplefruit leaf, shaped like a star with blunted points, or like a heart grown lopsided, suddenly whirled out of the night and plastered itself on the
->reflection in the glass, gleaming red and reflecting the firelight, just where the heart would be - or so it seemed from the angle at which Glinda stood.
->"Entrancing," she said. "There's some strange exotic quality of beauty about you. I never thought."
