00:00I'm Fierro.

00:02Winky country.

00:04What's been amazing for me

00:06is falling into something huge

00:08and trust the free fall.

00:10Is this how you go through life?

00:12Just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?

00:14He is a prince

00:16and therefore charming.

00:18Once again, the responsibility to corrupt

00:20my fellow students falls to me.

00:30Glinda is the absolute prom queen

00:32to his prom king

00:34and they do have a very easy natural chemistry.

00:38the vulnerability of Elphaba,

00:40it strikes in him, I think,

01:04It's actually the vulnerability

01:06of someone else that draws him

01:08closer to himself and I think

01:10the person that he really wants to be.
