FROM THE SONGS
“ It's good to see me, isn't it? ”
“ Isn’t it nice to know that good will conquer evil? ”
“ Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? ”
“ Many years I have waited for a gift like yours to appear. ”
“ Did that really just happen? ”
“ This weird quirk that I've tried to suppress or hide is a talent? ”
“ My whole life will change. ”
“ No one thinks you're strange. ”
“ I’ve just had a vision almost like a prophecy. ”
“ I will be loathing you my whole life long! ”
“ We’re all on your side! ”
“ The things one hears these days! Dreadful things! ”
“ The trouble with schools is that they always try to teach the wrong lesson. ”

“ We’ll meet there later tonight. ”
“ I’ve got something to confess. ”
“ Now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project. ”

“ I’m determined to succeed. ”
“ There’s nothing that can stop you. ”
“ I am a sentimental man. ”
“ I think everyone deserves the chance to fly. ”
“ Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle?! ”
“ I hope you think you're clever! ”
“ I hope you're proud of how you would grovel in submission to feed your own ambition! ”
“ Listen to me — just say you're sorry. ”
“ You can have all you ever wanted. ”
“ Something has changed within me. ”
“ I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. ”
“ You're having delusions of grandeur! ”
“ Some things I cannot change, but till I try, I'll never know! ”
“ Come with me. Think of what we could do — together ”
“ If we work in tandem, there’s no fight we cannot win. ”
“ Well? Are you coming? ”
“ Let us put aside our panic for this one day, and celebrate! ”
“ Oh what a celebration we’ll have today! ”
“ People are so empty-headed that they'll believe anything! ”

“ Let us put aside our panic for this one day, and celebrate! ”
“ Oh what a celebration we’ll have today! ”
“ People are so empty-headed that they'll believe anything! ”
“ I never asked for this, or planned it in advance. ”
“ Believe me, it's hard to resist. ”
“ See, I never had a family of my own. ”
“ So you lied to them. ”
“ We believe all sorts of things that aren't true. We call it "history” ”
“ It's all in which label is able to persist. ”
“ With my help, you can be the same. ”
“ I need help believing you're with me tonight. ”
“ I've lost all resistance. ”
“ You've got me seeing through different eyes. ”
“ Somehow I've fallen under your spell. ”
“ I don't even know what I'm reading! ”
“ I don't even know what trick I ought to try. ”
“ No good deed goes unpunished. ”
“ One question haunts and hurts. ”
“ Was I really seeking good or just seeking attention? ”
“ You can do all I couldn't do. ”

FROM THE SCRIPT
“ It was a long time ago; we were both very young. ”
“ You can all come visit me whenever you want! ”
“ Would you like to share my lunch? ”
“ I seem to have lost my appetite. ”
“ How I wish that you could have known this place as it once was. ”
“ I won't last longer at this school than I did at any of the others. ”
“ I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. ”
“ Don’t you dare say another word against her! ”
“ Now, just pretend you didn't see that. ”
“ I hope you’ll prove me wrong. ”
“ What? Never apologize for talent. Talent is a gift! ”
“ I shall tutor you privately. ”
“ Something’s wrong — I didn’t get my way! ”
“ I think I need to lie down. ”
“ I really don’t see what the problem is. ”
“ That may be your secret, but that does not make it true. ”
“ This is never going to work! ”
“ Well, are you just going to sit here in silence? ”
“ They are not telling you the whole story! ”
“ You mean … this has happened before? ”
“ Who is responsible for this? ”
“ I do hope that I haven’t misplaced my trust in you. ”
“ Young lady, do you realize who this is? ”
“ I hope you’ll save at least one dance for me. ”
“ I would do anything for you. ”
“ Well, it’s not like it’s your fault. ”
“ You don’t need to do that, you know. ”
“ I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do. ”
“ Well, somebody has to do something! ”
“ We’ve got to find someplace safe! ”
“ You think I’m really stupid, don’t you? ”
“ I don’t cause commotions — I am one! ”
“ You could have walked away back there, but you didn’t. ”
“ Fine. Look, if you don’t want my help— ”
“ I didn’t mean to frighten him. ”
“ I don’t know what to say! How can I ever thank you? ”
“ Will you be alright without me? ”

“ I think about that day a lot. ”
“ It doesn’t matter what your name is, everyone loves you. ”

“ Who are you and why do you seek me?! ”
“ People expect this sort of thing and you have to give people what they want. ”
“ I’m so happy to meet you. ”
“ What would you like me to do? ”
“ It’s a lost language—the lost language of spells. ”
“ Don’t be discouraged if you cannot decipher it. ”
“ What an experience you’re about to have! ”
“ What is it? Is something wrong? ”
“ You did it! You actually did it! ”
“ So it’s you. You’re behind it all. ”
“ The best way to bring folks together is to give them a really good enemy. ”
“ You have no real power! ”
“ You have so many opportunities ahead of you! ”
“ Believe nothing she says, she is evil! ”
“ It’s not her! She has nothing to do with it! I’m the one you want! It’s me! ”
“ I can't just stand here grinning and pretending to go along with all of this! ”
“ We can't leave now, not when people are looking to us to raise their spirits. ”
“ You can't leave, because you can't resist this. ”
“ I'm sorry. Did I scare you? I seem to have that effect on people. ”
“ Nobody can know I’m here! ”
“ It’s just me. I’m not going to hurt you! ”
“ You're lying! That's all you ever do! ”
“ Hear me out. I never meant to harm you. ”
“ The truth is I'm glad to see you again. It gets pretty lonely around here. ”
“ You don't know the first thing about me. ”
“ You've been so strong through all of this, aren't you tired of being the strong one? ”
“ I am nothing like you and I never will be and I will fight you until the day I die! ”
“ I thought — I though you might have changed. ”
“ You don’t need to lie to me. ”
“ Shh! Listen... Do you hear that? ”
“ We will see each other again, won't we? ”
“ We are going to be together always. ”
