Gregory Maguire Quote

You need my help? What for? Bread, cash, a fake identity to help you slip sideways through the cracks? Tell me what you need, tell me why I should help, and I'll see what I can do. In memory of Elphaba. You knew her. Her head titled again, but up, this time, and it was to keep the sudden wetness from spilling into her carefully colored false eyelashes. You knew my Elphie!
