Headmaster: I reviewed your impressive transcripts your light Troy: see you later. it’s all good. ugh I, she’s crazy!

Troy: No just pink jelly I? the(whisper)singing thing.
Gabriella: excuse me
Zeke: What’s up?
Troy: Hey!
Gabriella: Too much for them to handle?
Troy; No, no it was cool, but you know my friend’s it’s not
what I do it was like another person
so uh welcome to east high. well, now you’ve met miss
Darbus I bet you can’t wait to sign-up for that.
Gabriella: I won’t be signing up for a while I just wanna get to
know the school, but if you sign up I?d consider coming to the
show.
Troy: Yeah, that’s completely impossible.
Sharpay:what’s impossible troy? I wouldn’t even think
“impossible? is even in your vocabulary. oh so nice of you to
show your new classmate around oh uh were you going to
sign up too my brother, Ryan & I have starred in all the school
productions and we really welcome newcomers. there are a
lot of supporting roles. I?m sure we could find something for
you.
Gabriella: No, no, no I was just looking at all the bulletin
boards! there?s a lot going on at this school. wow! oh nice
penmanship!
Sharpay: so Troy, I missed you in the holidays what’d you do?
Troy: you know um…played basketball, snowboarding, more
basketball
Sharpay: so when’s the big game?
Troy:2 weeks
Sharpay: You are so dedicated just like me. I hope you can
come watch me in the show. Promise me?(Troy nods)toodles!
(wave)
Troy: Toodles
Troy: Hey! dude you know that school musical thing? as a
treat don’t you get extra credit?
Chad: So what who cares?
Troy: Well it’s always good to get extra credit…for college
Chad: Show music it’s all make-up and costumes(shiver)
dude, it?s frightening.
Troy: Yeah I know. I thought it’d be a good laugh. you know
sharpay’s kinda cute too
Chad: yeah so is a mountain lion. but you don’t pet it.
Troy: ALL RIGHT WILDCAT’S! PAIR UP! Let’s go! come on!
(get’cha head in the game song)
Sharpay: So it seemed you knew troy Bolton.
Gabriella: Not really. he was just showing me around well,
Troy usually doesn?t interact with new student’s.
Gabriella: uh why not?
Sharpay: Oh it?s, pretty much basketball 24/7 with him
Gabriella: That should be 16 over pi…
Teacher: Yes miss Montez
Gabriella: Oh I?m sorry I was just…uh…shouldn?t the second
equation read 16 over pi?
Teacher: 16 over pi? That’s quite impossible. I stand
corrected. oh and welcome aboard!
Ryan: Troy Bolton was looking at our audition list.
Sharpay: Again? You know he was hanging around here
earlier with the new girl and they were both looking at the list,
there’s something freaky about her, where did she say she
was from?
Ryan: Wow an einsteinette. so why do you think she’s
interested in the musical?
Sharpay: I?m not sure she is. and after all we needn’t concern
ourselves with amateurs. but… there is no harm in making
certain that Gabriella?s welcome to school activities that
are…well appropriate for her. After all… she loves pi.
Miss Darbus: Gold more gold! Paint, paint let’s go!
Taylor: The answer is yes
Gabriella: Huh?
Taylor: Our scholastic decathlon team has it’s first competition
next week and there is certainly a spot for you.
Gabriella: Where did those come from?
Taylor: Didn’t you put these in my locker?
Gabriella: Of course not.
Taylor: Well, we’d love it if you joined our team. We meet
almost everyday after school. please?
Gabriella: I need to catch up on the curriculum here before I
think about joining any clubs.
Sharpay: Well, what a perfect way to get caught up meeting
with the smartest kids in school, what a generous offer Taylor
Miss Darbus: So many new faces in detention today. I hope
you don’t make a habit of it. But the drama club could always
use an extra hand. And while we are working, let us probe the
mounting evils of cell phones
Coach: Come on, guys, huddle up! We got two weeks to the
big game. Where?s troy and Chad? Don’t make me ask
again. Where?s Troy and Chad?!
All: Detention
Miss Darbus: Perhaps the most heinous example of cell
phones abuse is ringing in the theatre. What temerity! The
theatre is a temple of art. A precious cornucopia of creative
energy.
Coach: Where?s my team, Darbus? What the heck are those
two doing in a tree?
Miss Darbus: It?s called crime and punishment, Bolton.
Besides, prominently to the art?s is cleansing into the soul.
Coach: Can we have a talk, please? And you two, in the gym,
now! If they have to paint sets for detention, they could do it
tonight, not during my practise
Miss Darbus: If those were performers, would you seek
special treatment?
Coach: Darbus, we are days away from our biggest game of
the year.
Miss Darbus: And we, Bolton, are in the midst of our auditions
for our winter musicale as well! This school is more than just
young men in baggy shorts flinging? balls for touch downs!
Coach: Baskets, they shoot baskets!
Headmaster: Stop! Guys, listen, you?ve been having this
argument since you both started teaching here. We are one
school, one student body, one facility! Can we not agree on
that? So, coach, How?s the team lookin?? Troy got em?
whipped into shape?
Coach: West high knights have knocked us out of the playoffs
three years running, and we are one game away from taking
that championship right back from ?em! It?s time to make our
stand. The team is you. You are the team and this team does
not exist unless each and every one of you is fully focused on
our goal. Am I clear?
Chad: Hey, what team?!
All: Wildcats!(x3)
All: wildcats! Get your head in the game!
Taylor: We?ve never made it past the first round of the
scholastic decathlon. You could be our answer.
Gabriella: I?m focusing on my studies this semester, and help
my mom get the new house organised. Maybe next year. But
what do you know about troy Bolton?
Taylor: Troy? Hmm. I?m not an expert on that particular sub-
species, however, unless you speak cheerleader, as in, ?oh
my gosh! Isn?t troy Bolton just the hottie super-bum??
Cheerleader: Oh, he?s so beautiful.
Taylor: See what I mean?
Gabriella: I guess I don?t know how to speak cheerleader!
Taylor: This is why we live in an alternative universe to troy
the basketball boy.
Gabriella: Have you tried to get to know him?
Taylor: Watch how it works tomorrow when you have lunch
with us. Unless you?d rather sit with the cheerleaders and
discuss the works of firm nail beds.
Gabriella: my nail beds are history.
Taylor: Sister!
Coach: I still don?t understand this whole detention thing.
Troy: It was my fault sorry, dad
Coach: Cross court. You know Darbus will take any
opportunity to bust my chops. That includes yours too.
Troy: Hey, dad? Did you ever want to try something new, but
were afraid of what your friends might think?
Coach: Like, going left? Your fine. Come on
Troy: Well? no. I mean, what if you wanna try something
really new and it?s a total disaster and all your friends laugh
at you.
Coach: Then maybe there not your friends. That was my
whole about team today. You guys gotta look out for each
other. You?re the leader. There?s gonna be college scouts at
our game next week. Know what scholarship is worth these
days?
Troy: loads!
Coach: Yeah. Focus, troy, come on.
Miss Darbus: I expect we all learned our homeroom manners
yesterday, people, correct? If not, we have some dressing
rooms that need painting. Now, a few announcements. This
morning during free period will be your chance for the
musicale auditions, both single and pairs. I will be in the
theatre until noon for those of you bold enough to extend the
wingspan of your creative spirit.
Chad: When?s she due back on the mother ship? Discussing
the importance of Shakespeare? what?s up, man?
Troy: what?s up?
Chad: The team?s hitting the gym during free period. What
should we run?
Troy: I can?t make it. I gotta catch upon some homework.
Chad: What? Hello, it?s only the second day back. I?m not
even behind on homework yet. And I?ve been behind on
homework since preschool.
(Both laugh
Troy: That?s hilarious I?ll catch you later.
(puts arm out to stop Chad and walk off)
Chad: Huh homework there?s no way.
(Follow him)
Troy: How?s it going?
Jason: Just hanging out? Good to see you
Chad: What?s he doing?
Basket ball person: (shake hands) hey!(walk in room troy walk
off teacher walk past coach walk past and look for troy walk
past car man)
Troy: Short-cut. Late for class (hide behind a mop)
Miss Darbus: That?s good just leave it here(troy hide while
auditioneer?s miss Darbus claps x3)
This is where the true expression of the artist is realized.
(Kelsey appears on stage)where inner truth is revealed
through the actors journey?(bell like a cell phone]was that a
cell phone?!
Alan: Is it mine?
Kelsi: No, ma?am. That was the warning bell.
Miss Darbus: Ah! Those wishing to audition must understand
that time is of the essence. We have many roles to cast and
final call-backs will be next week. First, we will sing a few bars
and I will give you a sense of whether or not the theatre is
your calling. Better hear it from me than your friends later. Our
composer, Kelsi Neilson, will accompany you and be available
for rehearsals prior to call-backs. Shall we?
First auditioneer: [singing)it?s hard to believe that I couldn?t
see you were always right beside me this feeling likes no
other I want you to know
Miss Darbus: Uh-huh. Yes, thank you. Next!
Alan:[singing]It?s hard to believe that I couldn?t sneeze?see
that you were always there next to?beside me
Miss Darbus: Alan, I admire your pluck. As to your singing?
Alan:?like no other
Miss Darbus: That?s a wonderful tie your wearing. Next!
Second auditioneer: It?s hard to believe that I couldn?t see
you where always there beside me this feelings like no other I
want you to know
Miss Darbus: Ugh?stop.
Cindra:.. So lonely before I finally found what I?ve been
looking? for
Miss Darbus: ah? Cindra. What courage to pursue a note that
hasn?t been accessed in the natural world. Bravo! Uh brava!
Perhaps the spring musicale.
Third auditioneer:[ballet dance then fall over]
Punks: it?s hard to believe that I could not see (See)
That you were right beside me (Beside me)
Thought I was alone (Alone)
With no one to hold (To hold)
But you were always there beside me
(Beside me)
Miss Darbus: Well that was just? very disturbing go see a
counsellor. Uhh. Next!
Gabriella: hey! So you decided to sign up for something?
Troy: uh? no. you?
Gabriella: no. um? why are you hiding behind a mop?
[Troy laugh and push behind him] your friends don?t know
you?re here, right?
Troy: right.
Fourth auditioneer: huh
Miss Darbus: Thank you. Next! [Run of]
Troy: Miss Darbus is a little… harsh.
Gabriella: The wildcat superstar?s afraid?
Troy: No! I?m not afraid, i?I?m just?. Scared.
Gabriella: Me too? usually.
Miss Darbus: and the lead roles for Minnie and Arnold we only
have one pair signed up. Sharpay and Ryan it might be useful
for you to give us a sense of why we gather in this hallowed
hall.
Kelsi: What key?
Ryan; Oh we had our rehearsal pianist do an arrangement.
Kelsi: Oh.
Both: Burr, burr
Sharpay: Go
(it?s hard to believe song) I told you not to do the jazz
squares
Ryan: It?s a crowd favourite. Everybody loves a good jazz
square.
Miss Darbus: Well? are there any last-minute sign-ups?
Kelsi: Oh, actually, if you do the part with that particular song I
imagined it much slower
Sharpay: ha if we do the part Kelsi, my sawed-off Sondheim,
I?ve been in 23 school productions. And how many of your
compositions have been selected?
Kelsi: This would be the first.
Sharpay: Which tells us what?
Kelsi: Uh, that I need to write you some more solos?
Sharpay: No, it tells us that you do not offer direction,
suggestion or commentary. And you should be thankful that
me and Ryan can lift your music out of it?s obscurity. Are we
clear?
Kelsi: Yes, ma?am. I mean Sharpay.
Sharpay: Nice talking to you.
Miss Darbus: Any last minute sign-ups? No? good, Done.
Gabriella: I?d like to audition, Miss Darbus.
Miss Darbus: Timeliness means something in the world of
theatre, Young lady. The individual auditions are long, long
over and there are simply no other payers.
Troy: I?ll sing with her.
Miss Darbus: Troy Bolton? Where is your sports posse or
whatever It?s called?
Troy: Team.
Miss Darbus: Ah.
Troy: But I?m here alone. Well actually, I?m here to sing with
her.
Miss Darbus: Yes, well, we take these shows very seriously
here at east high. I called for the pairs audition and you didn?t
respond. Free period is now over.
Troy: She has an amazing voice.
Miss Darbus: Perhaps the next musical.
Troy: So, you?re the composer? You wrote the song Ryan
and Sharpay just sang? And the entire show? Well, that?s
really cool. I uh can?t wait to hear the rest of the show. So
why are you so afraid of Ryan and Sharpay? I mean, it is your
show.
Kelsi: It is?
Troy: Isn?t the composer of a show kind of like the playmaker
in basketball?
Kelsi: Playmaker?
Troy: You know the one who makes everyone else look good.
Without you there is no show. You?re the playmaker here,
Kelsi.
Kelsi: I am? Do you wanna hear how the duet?s supposed to
sound?
(Hard to believe reprise)
Troy: That?s nice.
Miss Darbus: Bolton, Montez you have a call-back. Kelsi, give
them the duet from the second act. Work on it with them.
Kelsi: All right. If you guys wanna rehearse, I?m usually here
during free period and after school, and even sometimes
during biology class. You can come and rehearse anytime. Or
you can come to my house for breakfast. I have a piano, we
can rehearse there. After school before school whatever
works. After basketball class.
Troy: What?
Sharpay: call-back?!! Aah!!!!!!!!
Ryan: Call-back for roles next Thursday, 3:30pm Ryan and
Sharpay Evans Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton.
Sharpay: Is this some kind of joke? They didn?t even audition!
Chad: What?s wrong? What
Sharpay: Uhh! How dare she sign-up! I already picked out the
colours for my dressing room.
Ryan: and she hasn?t even asked our permission to join the
drama club somebody?s gotta tell her the rules.
Ryan: Exactly. And what are the rules?
Sharpay: Ohh!
[stick to the status quo song]
Gabriella:Why is everybody staring at you?
Taylor: Not me you
Gabriella: Because of the call-backs, I can?t have people
staring at me I really can?t
Sharpay:Aah!!!!!!!!
Gabriella: I am so sorry
Chad: You do not want to get into that man too much drama
Zeke: Yeah
Miss Darbus: What is going on here?
Sharpay: That Gabriella girl just dumped her lunch on me! On
purpose! It?s all part of their plan to ruin our musical. And troy
and his basket ball robots are obviously behind it. Why do you
think he auditioned? After all the hard work you?ve put into
this show it just doesn?t seem right.
Troy: What?s up?
Chad: What?s up? Oh let?s see? um you missed free-period
work-out to audition for some heinous musical. And now
suddenly people are confessing. Yeah,and Zeke. Zeke is
baking? cr?me brulee.
Troy: Oh what?s that?
Zeke: Oh, it?s creamy custard with a caramelized surface. It?
s really satisfying.
Chad: Shut up, Zeke! Look? do you see what?s happening
here, man? Our team is coming apart because of your singing
thing. Even the drama geeks think they can? talk to us. Look
the skater dudes are mingling
Skater dude: Yo!
Chad: Suddenly people think that they can do other stuff. Ok
stuff that?s not there stuff. Your thinking about show tunes,
when we?ve got a playoff game next week.
Miss Darbus: All right. Cards on the table right now.
Coach: Huh?
Miss Darbus: You?re tweaked because I put your stars In
detention and now were getting even.
Coach: What are you talking about, Darbus?
Miss Darbus: Your all-star son turned up at my audition. Now,
I give every student an even chance, which is a log and
honourable tradition in the theatre. Something you wouldn?t
understand. But, if he is planning some sort of practical joke in
my chapel of the arts?
Coach: Troy doesn?t even sing.
Miss Darbus: Oh, well you?re wrong about that. But I will not
allow my twinkle town musicale to be made into farce.
Coach: Twinkle town?
Miss Darbus: see? I knew it!
Coach: Hey?
Miss Darbus: I knew it!
Coach: Sounds like a winner. Good luck on Broadway!
Gabriella: Is Sharpay still really, really mad at me? I said I was
sorry.
Taylor: look no one has beaten out Sharpay for a musical
since kindergarten.
Gabriella: I wasn?t trying to beat anyone out. We didn?t even
audition, we were just singing.
Taylor: You won?t convince Sharpay of that. Believe me if
that girl could play both Romeo and Juliet, her own brother
would be aced out of the job.
Gabriella: Have you ever felt like there?s a whole other
person inside of you just looking for a way to come out?
Taylor: not really. No. Ugh come on let?s go.
Zeke: hey, Sharpay, I thought since Troy Bolton?s gonna be
in your show?
Sharpay: Troy Bolton is not in my show.
Zeke: ok, um? well, I thought you could come watch me play
basketball sometime
Sharpay: I?d rather stick needles in my eyes
Zeke: well, wouldn?t that be awfully uncomfortable
Sharpay: evaporate tall person
Zeke: I bake? if that helps!
Gabriella: wow! It?s like a jungle up here.
Troy: Yeah, just like that cafeteria.
Gabriella: Well, I just humiliated myself into the next century.
Troy: No! No come on.
Gabriella: So this is your private hideout?
Troy: yeah. Thanks to the science club. Which means my
buddies don?t know it exists?
Gabriella: you pretty much have the school wired, don?t you,
troy? Seems to me everyone on campus wants to be your
friend.
Troy: I guess, but not if we lose the championship.
Gabriella: Well, I?m sure it?s tricky being the coach?s son.
Troy: Makes me practise a little harder, I guess. I don?t know
what he?ll say about the singing. You know, my parent?s
friends are always saying, your sons the basketball guy. You
must be so, so proud. Some times I don?t want to be the
basketball guy. I just wanna be a guy. You know?
Gabriella: I saw the way you treated Kelsi at the audition
yesterday. Do your friends know that guy?
Troy: To them, I?m the playmaker dude so no not really.
Gabriella: They don?t know enough about you, Troy. At my
other schools I was the freaky math girl. It?s cool coming here
and being? anyone I wanna be. When I was singing with you I
just felt like? a girl.
Troy: You look like one, too.
Gabriella: do you remember in kindergarten how you?d meet
a kid and know nothing about them. Then ten seconds later
you play like you?re best friends because you didn?t have to
be anything but yourself.
Gabriella: Well singing with you felt like that.
Troy: I never thought about singing. That?s for sure. Till you.
Gabriella: So you wanna do the call-backs?
Troy: Hey, just call me freaky call-back boy.
Gabriella: you?re a cool guy, troy. But not for the reasons
your friends think. And thanks for showing me your top-secret
hiding place. Like kindergarten.
Troy: (singing) were soarin?, flyin?? (stop start again)there?s
not a star in heaven?
Gabriella: (singing) creating space between us… Till were
separate hearts There?s not a star in heaven that we can?t?
Troy: flyin? there?s not a star in heaven that we can?t reach
Coach: Let?s go guys! Make it sharp! To the chest, come on!
Pop it! Come on, guy?s. Step with it! Let?s go! Come on,
move it! Let?s go! Come on, guy?s focus! Focus! Get your
head in the game! Move it! to you seen troy?
Jason: No?coach
Coach: Again, let?s go! That?s it guys. Let?s hit the showers.
Good hustle. Let?s see that in the game.
Troy: I, uh… Think I?m gonna stay a while. Work on some
free throws.
Coach: Well, since you missed practise, I think your team
deserves a little effort from you today.
Gabriella: Wow. So this is your real stage.
Troy: I guess you can call it that. Or just a smelly gym. Whoa!
You didn?t tell me your good at hoops, too.
Gabriella: You know, I once scored 41 points at a league
championship game.
Troy: No way.
Gabriella: mm-hm. Yep and the same day I invented the
space shuttle and microwave popcorn.
Troy: oh! Microwave popcorn. Ha-ha. Very funny.
Gabriella: I?ve been rehearsing with Kelsi.
Troy: Me, too. And, by the way, I missed practise, so if I get
kicked off the team it?ll be on your conscience.
Gabriella: Hey, I wasn?t the one who told you to?
Troy: Gabriella, chill. Hey that?s travelling no that?s really bad
travelling.
Coach: Miss! I?m sorry, this is closed practise.
Troy: Dad, practice is over.
Coach: Not till the last player leaves the gym team rule.
Gabriella: Oh, I?m sorry, sir.
Troy: Dad, this is Gabriella Montez.
Coach: Ah, your detentions buddy.
Gabriella: I?ll see you later, troy. Nice meeting you, coach
Bolton.
Coach: You too Miss Montez!
Troy: Dad, detention was my fault, not hers.
Coach: You haven?t missed practise in tree years. That girl
shows up?
Troy: That girl is named Gabriella. And she?s very nice.
Coach: Helping you miss practise doesn?t make her very
nice. Not in my book. Or your team?s book.
Troy: Dad, she?s not a problem. She?s just a girl.
Coach: But you?re not just a guy, troy. You?re the team
leader. What you do affects not only this team, but the entire
school. And without you completely focused, were not gonna
win next week. The championship games-they don?t come
along all the time. There something special
Troy: Yeah, a lot of things are special, dad.
Coach: But you?re a playmaker? not a singer, you know
everyone knows that, right?
Troy: Did you ever think maybe I could be both?
Chad: Let?s go. What spell has this elevated-IQ temptress girl
cast that suddenly makes you wanna be in a musical?
Troy: Look, what I just did it. Who cares?
Chad: Who cares? How about you?re most loyal best friend?
Library keeper: Quiet in here, Mr Danforth.
Chad: It?s him Miss Falsaff, not me. Look you?re a hoops
dude, not a musical singer person. Have you ever seen
Michael Crawford on a cereal box?
Troy: Who?s Michael Crawford?
Chad: Exactly my point. He was the phantom of the opera on
Broadway. Now my mom, she?s seen that musical 27 times,
and put Michael Crawford?s picture in our refrigerator. Yeah,
not on it, in it. So my point is, if you play basketball you?re
gonna end up on the cereal box. If you sing in musicals, you?
ll end up in my mom?s refrigerator.
Troy: Why would she put his picture in her refrigerator?
Chad: One of her crazy diet idea?s look I don?t attempt to
read the female mind troy. It?s foreign territory. How can you
expect the rest of us to be focused on the game if you?re off
somewhere in leotard?s singing twinkle town
Troy: No on said anything about leotards.
Chad: Ah not yet, my friend, but just you wait. Look we need
you, captain big time.
Library keeper: Mr Danforth.
Chad: I tried to tell him, Miss Falsaff really tried.
Sharpay: Something isn?t right.
Chad: Hey, look… we need to talk
Taylor: Go on!
Ryan: They must be trying to figure out a way to make sure
troy and Gabriella beat us out. Now the jocks rule most of the
school, but if they get troy into a musical, then they?ve
conquered the entire student body.
Sharpay: And if those science girls get Gabriella hooked up
with troy Bolton, the scholastic club goes from drool to cool.
Ryan, we need to save our show from the people who don?t
know the difference between Tony award and Tony hawk.
Taylor: Do you think that?s gonna work?
Chad: It?s the only way to save Troy and Gabriella from
themselves. So we on?
Taylor: Yeah.
Chad: Good. So we start tomorrow then.
Taylor: Ok, the first thing.
Chad: Nice. Let?s go.
Taylor: Cool
Chad: So, my watch is 7:45 mountain standard time. We
synched?
Taylor: Ok whatever.
Chad: Then we?re on go mode for lunch, 12:05.
Taylor: Yes, Chad, were a go. But were not Charlie?s angels,
ok?
Chad: I can dream can?t I? Spider Bill Netrine, class of 72. He
was the MVP in the league champion ship game.
Zeke: Sam Nedler, class of 02. Also known as Sammy
slamma jamma captain, MVP of the league championship
team.
Jason: The thunder clap hap hadden 95 led the wildcats to
back-to-back city championships. A legend.
Chad: Yes. Legends, one and all. But do you think that any of
these wildcat legends became legends by getting involved in
musical auditions days before the league championships?
All: Get your head in the game!
Chad: No! These wildcat legends became legends because
they never took their eye off the prize.
All: Get your head in the game!
Chad: Who was the first sophomore ever to make starting
varsity?
All: Troy!
Chad: Who voted him our team captain this year?
All: Us!
Chad: And who is gonna get there sorry butts kicked in
Fridays championship game if Troy?s worried about an
audition?
All: We are
Troy: Guys, come on. There are 12 people on this team, not
just me.
Chad: Just 12? Oh, no I think your forgetting about one very
important 13th member of our team.
Troy: My dad.
Chad: Yes, troy. Wildcat champion, class of 1981. Champion,
father, and now coach. It?s a winning tradition like no other.
Taylor: From lowly Neanderthal and cro-mangnon, to early
warriors, medieval knights. All leading up to? lunkhead
basketball man. Yes our culture worshiped the aggressor
throughout the ages and we end up with spoiled, overpaid
bonehead athletes who contribute little to civilization other
than slam dunks and touchdowns that is the inevitable world
of troy Bolton. But the path of the mind, the path we?re on,
ours is the path that has brought us these people: Eleanor
Roosevelt, frida Kahlo, Sandra day O?Connor, Madame
Curie, Jane goodall, Oprah Winfrey and so many others who
the world reveres.
Gabriella: uh, but what is?? I?ve got Kelsi waiting for me to
rehearse.
Taylor: Gabriella! Troy Bolton represents one side of
evolution. And our side, the side of education and
accomplishment is the future of civilization! This is where you
belong.
Troy: Guys, if you don?t know that I?ll put a 110% of my guts
into that game, then you don?t know me.
Chad: But we just thought?
Troy: I?ll tell you what I thought. I thought you?re my friends
win together; lose together, team-mates.
Chad: But suddenly the girl… and the singing.
Troy: Man I?m for the team! I?ve always been for the team
she?s just someone I met. Alright, the singing thing is nothing.
A way to keep my nerves down. It means nothing to me. You?
re my guy?s and this is our team. Gabriella is not important. I?
ll forget about her, forget the audition and we?ll get that
championship. Everyone happy now?
Taylor: Behold lunkhead basket ball man. So, Gabriella, we?d
love to have you for the scholastic decathlon. Did you wanna
grab some lunch well, we?ll be there if you wanna come.
All of the basketball boys: wildcats! Get your head in the
game! Whoo! Let?s go! Go, wildcats!
Cheerleaders: Troy, Troy, Troy?
[When there was me and you song]
Troy: Hey, how you doin?? I wanna talk to you about
something.
Gabriella: And here it is I know what it?s like to carry a load
with your friends. I get your boys, troy it?s ok. So we?re good.
Troy: Good about what? I wanna talk about the final call-
backs.
Gabriella: I don?t wanna do the call-backs either. Who are we
trying to kid? You?ve got your team and I?ve got mine I?ll do
the scholastic decathlon and you?ll win the championships.
It?s where we belong. Go, wildcats
Troy: But I?
Gabriella: Me neither
Troy: Gabriella?
People: Go wildcats!
Chad: Hey, captain!
Jason: What?s with troy?
Chad: Don?t worry about it.
Taylor: Oh, hey!
Chad: Troy! Hey.
Jason: Hey, troy!
Chad: Hey, um? we just had another team meeting.
Troy: Oh? wonderful.
Chad: We had a team meeting about how we haven?t been
acting like a team. I mean us, not you. About the singing
thing?
Troy: I don?t even wanna talk about it.
Chad: We just want you to know that we?re gonna be there.
Cheering for you
Troy: Huh?
Zeke: if singing is what you wanna do, we should boost you
up, not tear you down.
Chad: yeah. Win or lose, we?re team mates. That?s what
we?re about. Even if you turn out to be the worst singer in the
world.
Jason: Which we don?t know, because we haven?t actually
heard you sing.
Troy: And your not gonna hear me sing, guys. Because
Gabriella won?t even talk to me? and I don?t know why.
Chad: We do.
Zeke: I baked these fresh today. You probably want to try one
before we tell you the rest.
Taylor: Gabriella, we were jerks. No, we were worse than
jerks because we were mean jerks. We thought that troy and
the whole singing thing was killing our chances of having you
on the scholastic decathlon team.
Gabriella: I heard what he had to say. I?m on your team now.
Done.
Taylor: No, not done. We knew that Chad could get troy to
say things to make him want to forget about the call-backs.
We planned it, and we?re embarrassed and sorry.
Gabriella: No one forced troy to say anything. And you know
what? It?s ok. We should prepare for the decathlon now, it?s
time to move on.
Taylor: No It?s not ok the decathlon is whatever, but how you
feel about us, and even more, troy? that?s what really
matters. We tried.
Troy:[to self] Hi, uh? just came to say I?m sorry. Hi, miss
Montez, I?m troy Bolton.
Gabriella?s mum: Oh, troy! Um? Gabriella is kind of busy with
homework and such, so now?s not a good time.
Troy: I made a mistake, Miss Montez, and I would really let
Gabriella know that. Could you tell her I came by to see her?
Gabriella?s mum: I will? troy. Good night? Troy
Troy: Good night. Thank you.
Gabriella: Hello?
Troy: What you heard the other day, none of that is true. I was
sick of my friends riding me, so I said things to shut them up. I
didn?t mean any of it.
Gabriella: You sounded pretty convincing to me
Sharpay: We have to do something. Ok, our call-back is on
Thursday and the basketball game and scholastic decathlon
are on Friday. Too bad all these events weren?t happening on
the same day? at the same time.
Ryan: well, that wouldn?t work out. because then troy and
Gabriella wouldn?t be able to?I?m proud to call you my sister.

Troy: The guy you met on vacation is way more me than the Sharpay: I know. I don?t want to hear any more about that
guy who said them stupid things. Montez girl.

Gabriella: The whole singing thing is making the school Miss Darbus: So if your telling me as co-presidents of the
whack. You said so yourself. Everyone?s treating you drama club that changing the call-backs would be best for our
differently because of it. theatre program, then I might actually agree with you.

Troy: Maybe I don?t wanna only be the basket ball guy. Ryan: So is that a yes?(Sharpay wink)
Sharpay: bop bop bop, up to the top and wipe away your
inhibitions stomp stomp stomp do the romp and strut your
Gabriella: But your dad? stuff bop bop bop, straight to the top?

Troy: It?s not about my dad. It?s about how I feel, and I?m not Chad: No problem at all. It was crazy, man.
letting the team down. They let me down. So I?m gonna sing.
How about you?
Troy: Call-backs the same time as the game?
Gabriella: I don?t know, troy.
Gabriella: And the scholastic decathlon.
Troy: Well, you need to say yes. Because I brought you
something. Taylor: Why would they do that?

Gabriella: What do you mean? Chad: I smell a rat named Darbus.

Troy: turn around. This could be the start of something new it
feels so right to be here with you? oh and now lookin? in your
eyes I feel in my heart the start of something new it?s a pair
audition.
Coach: Whoo.
Troy: Yeah!
Gabriella: Zn4, and by doing that, you end up with two? got it
Taylor and science girl: Yes!
Zeke: What?s happening?
Gabriella: You guys, come here. Go ahead and put five grams
of this in, and that causes it to change from acidic state.
Causing the colour to change from pink to blue. Just like pH
strips. Oh, gotta go. See you guy?s later!
Kelsi: Actually it?s two rats, neither of them named Darbus.
Chad: Do you know something about this, small person?
Kelsi: Miss Darbus thinks that she?s protecting the show, but
Ryan and Sharpay are only concerned with protecting
themselves and my name is Kelsi I play the piano.
Chad: Do you know what I?ll do to those two show dogs?
Troy: nothing. We?re not gonna do anything to them. Except
sing, maybe. Alright this is only gonna happen if we all work
together. Now who?s in?
Jason: you know I?m in.
Troy: a pi pie.
Gabriella: oh, my gosh

Troy: Whoa! You?re late! Taylor: oh, my goodness!

Both: ? strength to believe Both: What? Thank you!

Gabriella: soarin?
Troy: flyin? Taylor: Oh, we have something for you too.
Both: there?s not star in heaven that we can?t reach if we?re
tryin? yeah, we?re breakin? free
Gabriella: Yeah, come here look, look.
Ryan: Wow. They sound good
Troy: like a wave the ocean just? Both: Ta-da!

Troy: oh? it?s an equation.

All: Oh! Sharpay: Stop(fall back into Ryan?s arms.)I trust you.

Troy: That?s awful! Ryan: Energy.

Chad: Stay right there. Watch. From our team to yours Wildcats: Whoo! come on, let?s do it.

Troy: Nervous. Taylor: We did it!

Coach: Yeah, me too. Wish I could suit up and play along side
of you.
Troy: Hey, you had your turn.
Coach: You know what I want from you today?
Troy: The championship.
Coach: Well, that?ll come or it won?t. What I want for you is to
have fun. I know all about the pressure. Probably too much of
it has come from me. Because what I really want is to see my
son having the time of his life playing the game we both love.
You give me that, and I will sleep with a smile on my face no
matter how the score turns out.
Troy: Thanks, coach? uh I mean? dad.
Gabriella: Great job!
Taylor: Alright, wildcats, time for an orderly exit from the gym.
Headmaster: And west High pushes the ball around the
perimeter on the offensive end. Nice movement by west high.
Driving the lane? the shot is up and? we seem to be
experiencing some technical difficulties. We?ve got a time on
the court here. We have a problem. Stop the game. Stop the
game. Referee has signalled out timeout. Everyone please
remain calm.
Scholastic leader: What is that stench?
Headmaster: We?ll get this figured out real soon. In the
meantime, per safety regulations, we all need to make an
orderly exit from the gym, please. Thank you.

Headmaster: Welcome to the tenth annual scholastic
decathlon. The east high wildcats versus the west high

Miss Darbus.
Troy: Oh, what about your team?
Miss Darbus: I don’t know what’s going on here, but in any
event, it’s far too late and we have not got a pianist. Gabriella: We won too!

Ryan: Well, that’s show biz. Chad: yo! Team voted you the game ball, captain!

Troy: We’ll sing without a piano. Troy: Yeah, thank you, thanks a lot

Kelsi: Oh, no, you won’t. Pianist here, Miss Darbus. Chad: So? You’re going with me to the after-party, right?

Sharpay: You really don’t wanna do that. Taylor: like on a date?

Kelsi: Oh, yes, I really do. Ready on stage. Chad: Must be you’re lucky day.

Miss Darbus: Now that’s show biz. Taylor: Chad just asked me out.

Gabriella: I can’t do it troy, not with all these people here [walk Sharpay: Well, congratulations Gabriella. I guess I’ll be the
off] understudy in case you can’t make a show, so? Break a leg.
In theatre that means good luck.

14 heading back the other way! East high has the ball! Time is
running down the clock! Looking for an open man. Fake.
Swing to the outside. Ball on the perimeter. Looks nice from
the inside. Nice screen. Shoots up! And it good! A 12-foot
jump shot as time expires for the victory! East high has won
the championship! Your east high wildcats are champions!
Congratulations, east high!
Troy: Composer, here’s your game ball. You deserve it,
playmaker.
