High School Musical

LET"S GET TO IT TIME TO SHOW THE WORLD (second time)

Ah, beholf the zoo animals heralding the new year. How tribal

They were heralding my entrance, dear.

La Diva speaks! So what did you do over the break, Sharpay, your nails or your scales?

(Sharpay does scales)

Scales, just like any other snake.

C'MON EVERYONE

Hi, I'm Taylor McKessie. You must be new.

Gabriella Montez. Hi. Yeah, my mom just got transferred. Again.

Welcome! Moving can be such a drag. Did you at least do something fun over the winter break?

Oh, you know... my Mom took me on a ski trip. All I did was read.

Excellent, another bookworm!

Well, uhm, actually, I did meet a boy.

See, so make with the newsflash, sister! I'm all ears.

How'd you meet her?

Snowboarding?

Yeah, so did Troy.

Singing?

That's thirty minutes for you, too, Mr. Danforth, count 'em!

That could be tough for Chad, as he probably can't count that high.

Taylor McKessie, 35 minutes

But I've never had detention in my life!

Did you know Troy spent a year in juvenile hall? Something to do with cats and lawn mowers...

Be gone! You have no power here!

Whatever.

Well, I'm impressed. You're a genius.

What? We always carry a spare... in case our agent calls.

Look, our science decathlon team has a big regional match on Friday. We've never won it before, but with you by our side, we might stand a chance.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass for now. I just want to get acclimated to the new school and all.

Well, promise you'll think about it?

Yes, unless you want to live the rest of your life in the shadow of your sister's ostrich...

The answer is yes!

Huh?

I'm so glad you changed your mind about the Science Decathlon. With credentials like these, we'll win that title, for sure.

Where did those come from?

Didn't you slip them in my locker?

Of course not.

Well, we'd love to have you on the team. We meet almost every day after school. Please?

But what a perfect way to get caught up...meeting with the smartest kids in the school. What a generous offer, Taylor!

We've never ever won the science decathlon. You could be our answered prayer.

Well... okay, I guess I can do it.

Yay!

Okay, so like quid pro quo: what do you know about Troy Bolton?

Troy? I wouldn't consider myself an expert on that particular sub-species... unless you speak cheerleader as in:

Isn't Troy Bolton just the hottie super bomb?

I guess I don't speak cheerleader.

Which is why we exist in an alternative universe to Troy the Basketball Boy.

Have you tried to get to know him?

He has his clique, I have mine. Watch how it works in the cafeteria when you have lunch with us. You'll see.

It's just a callback. I mean, is Sharpay really mad?

Let's put it this way: no one has beaten out Sharpay in a musical since kindergarten.

Tiramisu? Why did I say Tiramisu? Aarrghh!!!

You really think that's going to work?

It's the only way to save Troy and Gabriella from themselves.

So what you're saying is the individual must be sacrificed for the good of the whole. That's so very Karl Marx.

Works for me.

We'll get Troy in the locker room. You guys nab Gabriella in the lab at exactly sixteen hundred hours.

Whatever. Just work him until he-

Troy Bolton is my best friend -- I know how to push all his buttons. Remember, the line of communication is crucial to the successful deployment of this covert operation.

I didn't know you could say that many syllables in one sentence. I'm impressed.

Thanks... been working on it all night. My watch says thirteen hundred hours, mountain standard time. Are we synchronized?

Save it for Charlie's Angels, Chad.

Au revoir, mon ami.

I love it when you speak German.

Dankë shon.

Not good enough, Captain.

Not good enough, Gabriella.

"Spider" Bill Natrine.

Harriet Tubman

Do you think these Wildcat legends won championships by worrying about some Brainiac chick or auditioning for musicals?

Do you think these paradigms of education and accomplishment concerned themselves with jocks or auditioning for musicals?

Heartbreak Bolton. Missed the last basket of the 1981 Championships. Do it for him, Troy. Give him the championship he always dreamed of.

Heartbreak Bolton. Another lost-cause, bonehead, basketballus moronus jock. But you, you're the future of civilization.

Me either. Goodbye!

So, uhm, Gabriella... do you want to grab a Coke? No, huh? Well, see you later.

Well, let's move it already! We're burning daylight! new scene

I feel like so demeritorious about what we did.

Guys, we have something we want to tell you.

No, us first.

Sorry Troy. This is Jack Scott, over and out.

What???

How can they do this? It's not fair!

How can you be in the Science Decathlon?

We can't

Well, it's clear now you have no choice.

Maybe next year, right?

Audition for the musical.

I thought you wanted to win the Decathlon?

So we come in second. That's no disgrace.

He's fantastic! They both are!

What we did was so wrong. We just want you to know that we will be there cheering for the both of you. In spirit, anyway.

Right.

But you can't!

We can't let them do it.

Yeah, a dream deferred and all that.

We have to figure out a way for them to do both.

Team huddle!

Hey, you spoke Jock!

I'm good with foreign languages, remember?

it's impossible

Leave it to me, I can do anything with my laptop.

Leave it to me, I can do anything with my laptop.

Go Wildcats!!!

See? - Sharpay

Chad! Spelling! Wait-

Question number 17: valences and chemical bonding. - Moderator

You can do these in your sleep, Gabriella.

Question number 72: isotopes. You have two minutes remaining!

You can do it , Gabriella. Focus!

"To the top. Don't ever stop. Bop to the top" (singing)

Yeah - brainiacs

AND WE JUST WON'T STOP

Alright, Wildcats... let's get this party started!

Just take a seat in the school's theater until we know exactly what's happening with the lights, and then we'll continue the match.

Gabriella, what are you still doing here?

What do you mean?

You don't have much time. My laptop can only hack the school's electrical grid for about five minutes. Hurry, Troy's waiting for you on stage.

You did this?

Buy me a coke. After you get the lead. Run!

So, you're going with me to the after party, right?

Like on a date?

Must be your lucky day. - Chad

Or yours!
