Descendants 2 Cast
The World Was Wide Enough for both Mal and Me
[PIRATES]
One two three four

[FULL COMPANY (EXCEPT UMA AND MAL)]
Five six seven eight nine—

[UMA]
There are ten things you need to know

[PIRATES & VKs]
Number one!

[UMA]
They broke through the barrier at dawn
My friend, Harry Hook (the best!) signed on as my—

[UMA, PIRATES, & VKs]
Number two!

[UMA]
Then Mal arrived with her crew:
The new King Benjamin, and a doctor that she knew

[PIRATES & VKs]
Number three!

[UMA]
I watched little Mal examine the terrain
I wish I could tell you what was happ’ning in her brain
This girl has poisoned my diabolical pursuits!

[PIRATES & VKs]
Most disputes die and no one shoots!
Number four!

[UMA]
Then Mal drew first position
Looking, to the world, like a girl on a mission
This is a villain with a marksman’s ability
The doctor turned around so he could have deniability

[PIRATES & VKs]
Five!

[UMA]
Now I didn’t know this at the time
But we were—

[UMA AND MALEFICENT & MAL]
Near the same spot (Near the same spot)
Your mom died, is that (My mom died, is that)
Why—(Why—)

[PIRATES & VKs]
Six!

[UMA]
She examined her gun with such rigor?
I watched as she methodically fiddled with the trigger

[PIRATES & VKs]
Seven!

[UMA]
Confession time? Here’s what I got:
My fellow pirates'll tell you I’m a terrible shot

[PIRATES & VKs]
Number eight!

[UMA/MAL/PIRATES]
Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds, see if they can set the record straight

[UMA]
They won’t teach you this in your classes
But look it up, because Mal was wearing her glasses
Why? If not to take deadly aim?
It’s her or me, the world will never be the same
I had only one thought before the slaughter:
This girl will not make a fool of this plotter!

[PIRATES & VKs]
Number nine!

[UMA]
Look her in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then count:

[PIRATES & VKs]
One two three four five six seven eight nine
Number ten paces! Fire—!

[MAL]
I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory
Is this where it gets me, on my feet, sev’ral feet ahead of me?
I see it coming, do I run or fire my gun or let it be?
There is no beat, no melody
Uma, my first friend, my enemy
Maybe the last face I ever see
If I throw away my shot, is this how you’ll remember me?
What if this bullet is my legacy?

Legacy. What is a legacy?
It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see
I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me
Auradon, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me
You let me make a difference
A place where even the Isle's immigrants
Can leave their fingerprints and rise up
I’m running out of time. I’m running, and my time’s up
Wise up. Eyes up
I catch a glimpse of the other side
Evie leads a lovely chorus on the other side
My mom is on the other side
She’s with my father on the other side
The world is watching from the other side

Teach me how to say goodbye

As I stand up, stand up, stand up
I realize that--

Oh, Ben, take your time
I’ll see you on the other side
Raise a glass to freedom...

[UMA, PIRATES, & VKs]
She aims her pistol at the sky—

[UMA]
Wait!

(Gunshot)

[UMA]
I strike her right between her ribs
I walk towards her, but I am ushered away
They take her back through the barrier
I get a drink

[VKs]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[UMA]
I hear wailing in the streets

[VKs]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[UMA]
Somebody tells me, “You’d better hide.”

[VKs]
Aaaah
Aaaah
Aaaah

[UMA]
They say

[UMA AND VKs]
All her friends and her fiancé—

[UMA]
Were both at her side when she died
Death doesn’t discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
Now the world obliterates
In every picture it paints
It paints me and all my mistakes
When my friend Mal aimed
At the sky
She may have been the first one to die
But I’m the one who paid for it

I survived, but I paid for it

I’m still the villain on your movie screen
I was too young and blind to see...
I should’ve known
I should’ve known
The world was wide enough for both my old friend and me
The world was wide enough for both my old friend and me
