(crowd cheering and whistling)
- Troy,
- Sharpay,
But seriously, you have an amazing voice,
You're a singer, right?
Just church choir is all,
I tried to solo and nearly fainted,
Really? Why is that?
I looked at the people staring at me, Next
thing I knew, I was staring at the ceiling,
- End of solo career,
- The way you sing, that's hard to believe,
That was the first time I did that,
It was so cool,
- I know! Completely!
- You sound like you've sung a lot, too,
Yeah, sure, My showerhead
is very impressed with me,
(crowd) 9, 8, 7...
...6, 5, 4...
...3, 2, 1!
(cheering/fireworks explode)
I guess I better go find my mom
and wish her a happy new year,
Yeah, me too, I mean, not your mom,
My mom... and dad,
Uh... I'll call you,
I'll call you tomorrow,
- Yeah!
- Here, put your number in,
Here,
- You too,
- Oh, OK,
(beeping)
There you go,
Just so you know, singing with you
was the most fun I've had on this vacation,
So, um... where do you live?
Sharpay,
& Wildcats sing along
They really got it going on
& Wildcats in the house
Everybody sing out
& Wildcats, everywhere
wave your hands up in the air
& That's the way we do it
let's get to it
& Time to show the world
& Wildcats, sing along
They really got it goin ' on
& Wildcats in the house
everybody sing out...
- Troy! How ya doing, man?
- Hey, Chad, what's up?
- Hey, guys, happy new year,
- Yeah!
- It's a happy Wildcat new year!
- You're the man!
In two weeks
we're going to the championships
with you leading us
to infinity and beyond,
- (boy) What team?
- (all) Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats! (cheering)
(cell phone rings)
Ooh! Whoo-hoo!
(all) Ooh!
The ice princess returned
from the North Pole,
She spent the holidays
the way she always does,
- How's that?
- Shopping for mirrors,
(all) Ooh!
Ugh, behold the zoo animals
heralding the new year, How tribal,
(bell rings)
Mom, my stomach...
Is nervous on first day at a new school,
You'll do great, You always do,
I made my company promise that I can't
be transferred again until you graduate,
I reviewed your impressive transcripts,
Your light will shine brightly at East High,
I don't want to be the school's
freaky genius girl again,
Just be Sharpay,
This way,
(chatter)
Troy! Troy! Hey!
How's it going'? How are you?
Miss Darbus?
- Do you remember the night before?
- No, not at all,
All I remember is like, pink jelly, I...
Excuse me,
(boy) Ooh!
- Hi, Troy,
- Hi,
(bell rings)
I trust you all had splendid holidays,
Check the sign-up sheets in the lobby
for new activities, Mr, Bolton,
Especially our winter musicale,
We will have singles auditions...
- You OK?
- Yeah,
- ... and pairs auditions for our two leads,
- Pfft,
Mr, Danforth, this is a place of learning,
not a hockey arena,
There is also a final sign-up for next week's
scholastic decathlon competition,
Chem Club president Taylor McHessey
can answer all of your questions about that,
(rings)
Ah, the cell phone menace
has returned to our crucible of learning,
- Is it your phone?
-Gabriella and Ryan, cell phones,
- I will see you in detention,
- Ahh!
We have zero tolerance
for cell phones in class,
so we will get to know each other
in detention, Cell phone,
And welcome to East High, Miss Evans,
Mr, Bolton, I see your phone is involved,
- So we will see you in detention as well,
- That's not a possibility, Miss Darbus,
Your Honor, see, 'cause we have
basketball practice, and Troy...
Ah, that will be 15 minutes
for you too, Mr, Danforth, Count 'em,
Could be tough for Chad,
He can't count that high,
- Taylor McHessey, 15 minutes,
- (Taylor gasps)
Shall the carnage continue?
Holidays are over, people,
Way over!
Now, any more comments, questions?
- Jason,
- How were your holidays, Miss Darbus?
What?
(bell rings)
- Sorry, man, See you in detention,
- See you later, It's all good,
Uhh, she's crazy,
Hey!
- I don't...
- Believe it,
- Well, me...
- Either, But how?
My mom's company transferred her
here to Albuquerque,
I can't believe you live here, I looked
for you at the lodge on New Year's Day,
- We had to leave first thing,
- Why are you whispering?
What? Oh, uh... my friends
know about the snowboarding,
I haven't quite told them
about the singing thing,
- What's up?
- Hey,
- Too much for them to handle?
- No, it was cool,
But, you know, my friends, it's, uh...
It's not what I do,
That was, like, a different person,
So, uh... anyway, welcome to East High,
Now that you've met Miss Darbus,
I bet you just can't wait to sign up for that,
I won't be signing up for anything for a
while, I just wanna get to know the school,
But if you sign up,
I'd consider coming to the show,
- Yeah, yeah, That's completely impossible,
- What's impossible, Troy?
I wouldn't think "impossible"
is even in your vocabulary,
Oh, so nice of you to
show our new classmate around,
Oh, were you going to sign up too?
My brother and I
have starred in all the school's productions
and we really welcome newcomers,
There are a lot of supporting roles,
I'm sure we could find something for you,
No, no, no, I was just looking at
all the bulletin boards,
Lots going on at this school, Wow,
Nice penmanship,
So, Troy, I missed you during vacation,
What'd you do?
You know, um... played basketball,
snowboarding, more basketball,
- When's the big game?
- Two weeks,
You are so dedicated,
Just like me,
I hope you come watch me in the musical,
Promise?
- Toodles!
- Toodles,
Dude, you know that school musical thing?
You get extra credit just for auditioning?
- Who cares?
- It's always good to get extra credit...
... for college...
Think LeBron James or Shaquille O'Neal
auditioned for their school musical?
- Maybe,
- Troy,
The music in those shows isn't hip-hop,
or rock, or anything essential to culture,
It's, like, show music,
It's all costumes and makeup...
- Oh, dude, it's frightening,
- I know, I thought it'd be a good laugh,
-Gabriella's kinda cute, too,
- So is a mountain lion,
But you don't pet it,
All right, Wildcats! Pair up!
Let's go! Come on!
(balls bouncing rhythmically)
& Coach said to fake right and break left
& Watch out for the pick
and keep an eye on defence
& Gotta run the give and go
and take the ball to the hole
& And don't be afraid
to shoot the outside "J"
& Just keep your head in the game
Just keep your head in the game
& And don't be afraid
to shoot the outside "J"
& Just keep your head in the game
You gotta get your head in the game
& We gotta get our, get our, get our,
get our head in the game
& You gotta get your,
get your head in the game
& We gotta get our, get our, get our,
get our head in the game
& Come on, get your,

& We gotta get our, get our, get our,
get our head in the game
& You gotta get your,
get your head in the game
& We gotta get our, get our, get our,
get our head in the game
- & Whoo!
- (whistle blows)
& Let's make sure
that we get the rebound
& 'Cause when we get it
then the crowd'll go wild
& A second chance, gotta grab it and go
& Maybe this time we'll hit the right notes
& Wait a minute, not the time and place
wait a minute, get my head in the game
& Wait a minute
get my head in the game
& Wait a minute, wait a minute
I gotta get my, get my head in the game
& You gotta get your, get your,

& Why am I feeling so wrong?
& My head's in the game
but my heart's in the song
& She makes this feel so right
Should I go for it?
I better shake this, Yikes!
& I gotta get my,

& You gotta get your, get your,

(players whooping and yelling)
- (boy) What team?
- (all) Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- Wildcats!
- Get your head in the game!
(cheering)
So, it seemed like you knew Troy Bolton,
Not really,
He was just showing me around,
(laughs) Well, Troy usually doesn't
interact with new students,
- Uh, why not?
- It's pretty much basketball 24/7 with him,
- That should be 16 over pi...
- Yes, Miss Montez?
I'm sorry, I was just... Uh...
Shouldn't the second equation
read 16 over pi?
16 over pi? That's quite impossible,
I stand corrected,
Oh... and welcome aboard,
- Catch you later, guys,
- OK,
Troy Bolton was looking at our audition list,
Again?
He was hanging around with that new girl
and they were both looking at the list,
There's something freaky about her,
Where did she say she's from?
(scoffs)
Wow! An Einsteinette,
So why do you think she's interested
in our musical?
I'm not sure that she is, And we needn't
concern ourselves with amateurs,
But... there is no harm in making certain
that Sharpay's welcome to
school activities that are...
... well, appropriate for her,
After all...
... she loves pi,
Gold! More gold!
Paint, paint! Let's go!
- The answer is yes!
- Huh?
Our scholastic decathlon team
has its first competition next week,
and there is certainly a spot for you,
- Where did those come from?
- Didn't you put them in my locker?
- Of course not,
- Well, we'd love to have you on our team,
We meet almost every day after school,
Please?
I need to catch up on the curriculum here
before I think about joining any clubs,
Well, what a perfect way to get caught up,
Meeting with the smartest kids in school,
- What a generous offer, Taylor,
- So many new faces in detention today,
I hope you don't make a habit of it,
but the drama club can always use
an extra hand,
And while we are working, let us probe
the mounting evils of cell phones,
(whistle blows)
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,
(sighs)
(whistle blows)
Perhaps the most heinous example of
cell-phone abuse is ringing in the theater,
What temerity!
The theater is a temple of art,
- A precious cornucopia of creative energy,
- Where's my team, Darbus?
What the heck are those two
doing in a tree?
It's called crime and punishment, Bolton,
Besides, proximity to the arts
is cleansing for the soul,
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 practice,
If these were theater performers,
would you seek special treatment?
Darbus, we are days away
from our biggest game of the year,
And we, Bolton, are in the midst of our
auditions for our winter musicale as well!
This school is about more than
just young men in baggy shorts
flinging balls for touchdowns!
Baskets! They shoot baskets,
Stop! Guys, listen,
you've been having this argument
since the day you both started
teaching here,
We are one school, one student body,
one faculty!
Can we not agree on that?
So, Coach, how's the team lookin'?
- Troy got 'em whipped into shape?
- Oh!
(whistle blows)
West High Knights have knocked us out
of the play-offs three years running,
and now we are one game away from
taking that championship 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?
- Hey, what team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- Wildcats!
- Get your head in the game!
We've never made it past the first round
of the scholastic decathlon,
You could be our answered prayer,
I'm focusing on my studies this semester,
and mom get the new house
organized, Maybe next year,
- What do you know about Troy Bolton?
- 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?"
Oh, he's so beautiful,
- Ha-ha, See what I mean?
- I don't know how to speak cheerleader,
We exist in an alternate
universe to Troy the basketball boy,
Have you tried to get to know him?
Watch how it works tomorrow
when you have lunch with us,
Unless you'd rather sit with the
cheerleaders and discuss firm nail beds,
My nail beds are history,
Sister!
- Still don't understand this detention thing,
- It was my fault,
- Sorry, Dad,
- Cross court,
Darbus will take any opportunity to
bust my chops, That includes yours too,
Hey, Dad?
Did you ever want to try something new,
but were afraid of what your friends think?
Like, going left? You're doing fine,
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,
Maybe they're not your friends,
That was my whole point about team today,
You gotta look out for each other,
You're the leader,
There's gonna be college scouts
at our game next week,
Know what a scholarship
is worth these days?
- A lot,
- Yeah, Focus, Troy, come on,
Whoo,
Just something for you,
(bell ringing)
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 theater until noon
for those of you bold enough to extend
the wingspan of your creative spirit,
When's she due back on the mother ship?
Discussing the importance
of Shakespeare...
- What's up, man?
- What's up?
The team's hitting the gym during
free period, What should we run?
I can't make it,
I gotta catch up on some homework,
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,
That's hilarious,
I'll catch you later,
Homework? There's no way,
- How's it going?
- (Troy) Just hanging out?
- Good to see you,
- What's he doing?
How's it going, man?
Short-cut,
I'm late for class,
(boy) That's good, just leave it here,
(overlapping chatter)
This is where the true expression
of the artist is realized,
Where inner truth is revealed
through the actor's journey...
(bell ringing)
- Was that a cell phone?
- Is it mine?
- No, ma'am, That was the warning bell,
- Ah!
Those wishing to audition must
understand that time is of the essence,
We have many roles to cast
and final callbacks will be next week,
First, you will sing a few bars and I will
give you a sense of whether or not
the theater is your calling, Better to hear it
from me now than from your friends later,
Our composer, Kelsi Nielson,
will accompany you
and be available for rehearsals
prior to callbacks,
Shall we?
(off-key) & It's hard
to believe that I couldn't see
& That you were always right beside me
& This feeling like no other
& I want you to know
Uh-huh, Yes, thank you, Next!
(badly off-key)
& It's hard to believe
& That I couldn't sneeze... see
& That you were always right there
next to beside me
Alan, I admire your pluck,
- As to your singing...
- &... like no other
That's a wonderful tie
you're wearing, Next!
(off-key) & It's hard to believe
that I couldn't see
& That you were always there beside me
& This feeling's like no other
& I want you to know
Uh... stop,
(high-pitched)
&... so lonely before I finally found
& What I've been looking...
&... for
(holding note)
Ah... Cindra,
What courage to pursue a note that has
not been accessed in the natural world,
Bravo! Brava!
Perhaps the spring musicale,
(crashing)
- & It's hard to believe that I could not see
- & Can't see
- & That you were right beside me
- & Beside me
- & Thought I was alone
- & Alone
- & With no one to hold
- & To hold
- & But you were right beside me
- & Beside me
(Darbus) Well, that was just...
... very disturbing,
Go see a counselor, Uhh,
Next!
Hey!
So you decided to sign up for something?
- Uh... No, You?
- No,
Um... why are you hiding behind a mop?
Your friends don't know you're here, right?
Right,
(& plays intro)
Thank you, Next,
Miss Darbus is a little... harsh,
- The Wildcat superstar's afraid?
- No! I'm not afraid, I...
- I'm just... scared,
- Me too... usually,
And for the lead roles of Minnie and Arnold
we only have one couple signed up,
Gabriella and Ryan,
I think it might be useful for you
to give us a sense of why
we gather in this hallowed hall,
What key?
Oh, we had our rehearsal pianist
do an arrangement,
Oh,
(whinnies like a horse)
Go!
& It's hard to believe that I couldn't see
(both) & You were always there beside me
& Thought I was alone with no one to hold
& But you were always right beside me
- & This feeling's like no other
- & I want you to know
& I've never had someone
that knows me like you do
& The way you do
& I've never had someone
as good for me as you
& No one like you
& So lonely before I finally found
& What I've been looking for
& So good to be seen,
so good to be heard
& Don't have to say a word
& For so long I was lost,
so good to be found
& I'm lovin' having you around
& This feeling's like no other
& I want you to know
& I've never had someone
that knows me like you do
& The way you do
& I've never had someone
as good for me as you
& No one like you
& So lonely before I finally found
& What I've been looking for
& Do-do-do
& Do do-do-do do-do
& Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
& Do-do-do-do
& Do do-do-do do-do
& Oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I told you not to do the jazz squares,
It's a crowd favorite,
Everybody loves a good jazz square,
(applause)
Well...
Are there any last-minute sign-ups?
Don't be discouraged, The theater club
needs more than singers, It needs fans too,
Buy tickets!
Oh, actually,
if you do the part with that particular
song, I imagined it much slow...
lfwe do the part?
Kelsi, my sawed-off Sondheim,
I've been in 17 school productions,
How many of your
compositions have been selected?
- This would be the first,
- Which tells us what?
- That I need to write you more solos?
- 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 its obscurity,
- Are we clear?
- Yes, ma'am, I mean, Gabriella,
Nice talking to you,
Any last-minute sign-ups?
- We should go,
- No? Good, Done,
I'd like to audition, Miss Darbus,
Timeliness means something in the world
of theater, young lady,
The individual auditions are long over
and there are simply no other pairs,
I'll sing with her,
Troy Bolton? Where is your sports posse
or whatever it's called?
- Team,
- Ah,
But I'm here alone,
Actually, I'm here to sing with her,
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,
- She has an amazing voice,
- Perhaps the next musicale,
So, you're a composer?
You wrote the song
Ryan and Gabriella just sang?
And the entire show?
Well, that's really cool,
I can't wait to hear the rest of the show,
So, why are you so afraid of
Ryan and Gabriella?
- I mean, it is your show,
- It is?
Isn't the composer of a show kind of
like the playmaker in basketball?
Playmaker?
The one who makes everyone else
look good,
Without you there is no show,
You're the playmaker here, Kelsi,
I am?
Do you wanna hear how the duet's
supposed to sound?
& It's hard to believe that I couldn't see
& You were always there beside me
& Thought I was alone with no one to hold
& But you were always right beside me
& This feeling's like no other
& I want you to know
& That I've never had someone
that knows me like you do
& The way you do
& And I've never had someone
as good for me as you
& No one like you
& So lonely before I finally found
& What I've been looking for
& Ooh-ooh-ooh
Wow, That's nice,
Bolton, Evans - you have a callback,
Kelsi, give them the duet
from the second act,
- Work on it with them,
- 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 come to my house for breakfast,
I have a piano, we can rehearse there,
After school, before school - whatever
works, After basketball class...
What?
(Gabriella) Callback? Aah!
"Callback for roles Arnold and Minnie
next Thursday, 3:30pm,
Ryan and Gabriella Montez,
Sharpay Evans and Troy Bolton,"
Is this some kind of joke?
They didn't even audition!
- Maybe we're being punked?
- What?
Maybe we're being filmed right now,
Maybe we'll get to meet Ashton!
Oh, shut up, Ryan!
What's wrong?
(Chad) What?
Uhh!
How dare she sign up! I picked out
the colors for my dressing room,
She hasn't even asked our permission
to join the drama club,
- Someone's gotta tell her the rules,
- Exactly,
- And what are the rules?
- Ohh!
& You can bet there's nothin' but net
when I am in a zone and on a roll
& But I got a confession,
my own secret obsession
& And it's making me lose control
& Everybody gather 'round
If Troy can tell his
secret, then I can tell mine,
- I bake,
- What?
I love to bake! Strudels, scones,
even apple pandowdy,
& Not another sound
Someday I hope to make
the perfect creme brulee,
& No, no, no, no!
No, no, no
& Stick to the stuff you know
& If you wanna be cool
follow one simple rule
& Don't mess with the flow
no, no
& Stick to the status quo
& Look at me and what do you see?
Intelligence beyond compare
& But inside I am stirring,
something strange is occurring
& It's a secret I need to share
& Open up, dig way down deep
Hip-hop is my passion,
I love to pop and lock and jam and break!
Is that even legal?
& Not another peep!
It's just dancing,
I think it's cooler than homework,
& No, no, no, no!
No, no, no
& Stick to the stuff you know
& It is better by far
to keep things as they are
& Don't mess with the flow,
no, no
& Stick to the status quo
& Listen well, I'm ready to tell
about a need that I cannot deny
& Dude, there's no explanation
for this awesome sensation
& But I'm ready to let it fly
& Speak your mind and you'll be heard
If Troy wants to be a singer,
then I'm coming clean,
- I play the cello!
- Awesome! What is it?
- A saw!
- No, dude, it's like, a giant violin!
& Not another word
- Do you have to wear a costume?
- Coat and tie,
& No, no, no, no!
No, no, no
& Stick to the stuff you know
& If you wanna be cool,
follow one simple rule
& Don't mess with the flow,
no, no
& Stick to the status quo
& No, no, no
& Stick to the stuff you know
& It is better by far
to keep things as they are
& Don't mess with the flow,
no, no
& Stick to the status quo
& This is not what I want
& This is not what I planned
& And I just gotta say
& I do not understand
& Something is really
- & Something's not right
- & Really wrong
& And we've gotta get things back
where they belong
- & We can do it
- & Gotta play
- & Stick with what you know
- & We can do it
- & Hip-hop hooray
- & She has got to go
- & We can do it
- & Creme Brulee
& Keep your voice down low
- & Not another peep
- & No
- & Not another word
- & No
- & Not another sound
- & No
& Everybody quiet!
Why is everybody staring at you?
- Not me, you,
- Because of the callbacks?
I can't have people staring at me,
I can't,
& No! No, no, no
& Stick to the stuff you know
& If you want to be cool,
follow one simple rule

(all gasping)
(Gabriella) Aah!
I am so sorry,
You do not want to get into that, man,
- Too much drama,
- Yeah,
What is going on here?
Look at this! That Sharpay girl
just dumped her lunch on me!
On purpose! It's all part of their plan to
ruin our musical,
And Troy and his basketball 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,
- What's up?
- What's up? Oh, let's see...
You missed free-period workout
to audition for a heinous musical,
And now suddenly people are confessing,
Yeah, and Zeke,
Zeke is baking... creme brulee,
What's that?
Oh, a creamy custard
with a caramelized surface,
- It's really satisfying,
- 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 and
the brainiacs suddenly think that they can...
... talk to us,
- Look, the skater dudes are mingling,
- Yo!
Suddenly people think that they
can do other stuff,
Stuff that's not their stuff,
You're thinking about show tunes,
when we've got a playoff game next week,
Whoa!
Whoa!
- Ooh!
- (boy) Head's up!
- All right, Cards on the table right now,
- Huh?
You're tweaked because I put your stars
in detention and now you're getting even,
What are you talking about, Darbus?
Your all-star son
turned up at my audition,
Now, I give every student an even chance,
which is a long and honorable
tradition in the theater,
Something that you wouldn't understand,
But, if he is planning some sort of practical
joke in my chapel of the arts...
- Troy doesn't even sing,
- Oh, well, you're wrong about that,
But I will not allow my Twinkle Town
musicale to be made into farce,
- Twinkle Town?
- See? I knew it!
- Hey...
- I knew it!
Sounds like a winner,
Good luck on Broadway!
Is Sharpay really, really mad at me?
I said I was sorry,
Look, no one has beaten out Sharpay for
a musical since kindergarten,
I wasn't trying to beat anyone out,
We didn't even audition,
we were just singing,
You won't convince Sharpay of that,
If that girl could play both Romeo and
Juliet, her own brother would be aced out,
I told you it just happened, but I liked it,
A lot,
Did you ever feel like there's
a whole other person inside you
just looking for a way to come out?
Not really, No,
(bell ringing)
Let's go,
Hey, Sharpay, I thought since Troy Bolton's
gonna be in your show...
Troy Bolton is not in my show,
OK, um... well, I thought maybe
you could watch me play ball sometime,
- I'd rather stick pins in my eyes,
- Wouldn't that be awfully uncomfortable?
Evaporate, tall person!
I bake!
If that helps,
- Wow! It's like a jungle up here,
- Yeah, just like that cafeteria,
Well, I just humiliated myself into
the next century,
- No! Come on,
- So this is your private hideout?
Yeah, Thanks to the science club, Which
means my buddies don't know it exists,
You pretty much have the school wired,
don't you, Troy?
Seems to me like everyone on campus
wants to be your friend,
Unless we lose,
Well, I'm sure it's tricky
being the coach's son,
Makes me practice a little harder,
I guess,
I don't know what he'll say
about the singing,
- You worried?
- My parents friends are always saying,
"Your son's the basketball guy,
You must be so proud,"
Sometimes I don't wanna be
the "basketball guy."
I just wanna be a guy, You know?
I saw the way you treated Kelsi at
the audition yesterday,
Do your friends know that guy?
To them, I'm the playmaker dude,
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,
You even look like one, too,
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,
- Yeah,
- Singing with you felt like that,
Well, uh... I never thought about singing,
That's for sure,
Till you,
So you really wanna do the callbacks?
Hey, just call me freaky callback boy,
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,
(bell ringing)
(both sigh)
& We're soarin', we're flyin'...
(Troy singing)
& Breaking...
& Creating space between us...
& There's not a star in heaven that we...
& Flyin'
& There's not a star in heaven that we...
(whistle blows)
Let's go, guys! Make it sharp!
To the chest, come on! Pop it!
Come on, guys, Step with it!
Let's go!
Come on, move it! Let's go!
Come on, guys, focus! Focus!
Get your head in the game!
Move it!
- You seen Troy?
- No... Coach,
(blows whistle) Again, let's go!
(whistle blows)
That's it, guys, Let's hit the showers,
Good hustle, Let's see that in the game,
I, uh,, think I'm gonna stay a while,
Work on some free throws,
Since you missed practice, I think your
team deserves a little effort from you today,
Wow, So this is your real stage,
Yeah, I guess you could call it that,
Or just a smelly gym,
Whoa!
Don't tell me you're good at hoops, too,
You know, I once scored 41 points
at a league championship game,
- No way,
- Mm-hm, And the same day,
I invented the space shuttle
and microwave popcorn,
Oh! Microwave popcorn, Ha-ha, Funny,
- I've been rehearsing with Kelsi,
- Me, too, And, by the way,
I missed practice, So if I get kicked off
the team it'll be on your conscience,
- Hey, I wasn't the one who told you...
- Gabriella, chill,
Hey, that's traveling,
No, that's really bad traveling,
(laughing)
Miss! I'm sorry, this is a closed practice,
- Dad, practice is over,
- Not till the last player leaves,
- Team rule,
- Oh, I'm sorry, sir,
- Dad, this is Gabriella Montez,
- Ah, your detention buddy,
I'll see you later, Troy,
Nice meeting you, Coach Bolton,
You as well, Miss Montez,
Dad, detention was my fault,
not hers,
You haven't missed practice in three years,
That girl shows up...
That girl is named Gabriella,
She's very nice,
Helping you miss practice doesn't
make her very nice, Not in my book,
- Or your team's,
- Dad, she's not a problem,
- She's just a girl,
- But you're not just a guy, Troy,
You're the team leader,
What you do effects not only this team,
but the entire school,
And without you completely focused,
we're not gonna win next week,
The championship games -
they don't come along all the time,
- They're something special,
- Yeah, a lot of things are special, Dad,
But you're a playmaker...
not a singer, right?
Did you ever think maybe I could be both?
- What?
- Let's go,
What spell has this elevated-IQ
temptress girl cast
that suddenly makes you wanna be
in musical?
Look, I just did it, Who cares?
Who cares? How about your most
loyal best friend?
- Quiet in here, Mr, Danforth,
- It's him, Miss Falsaff, not me,
Look, you're a hoops dude,
not a musical singer person,
Have you seen Michael Crawford
on a cereal box?
- Who's Michael Crawford?
- 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're in musicals, you'll
end up in my mom's refrigerator,
Why in her refrigerator?
One of her crazy diet ideas, I won't
attempt to understand the female mind,
It's foreign territory,
How can you expect the rest of us to be
focused on a game if you're off somewhere
in leotards singing "Twinkle Town"?
No one said anything about leotards,
Not yet, my friend, but just you wait,
Look, we need you, Captain,
Big time,
- Mr, Danforth,
- I tried to tell him, Miss Falsaff,
Really tried,
Something isn't right,
- Hey, look, We need to talk,
- Go,
They must be trying to figure out a way to
make sure Troy and Gabriella beat us out,
The jocks rule most of the school,
but if they get Troy into a musical,
then they've conquered
the entire student body,
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
people who don't know the difference
between a Tony Award and Tony Hawk,
Do you think that'll work?
It's the only way to save Troy and Gabriella
from themselves,
- So we on?
- Yeah,
- Good, So we start tomorrow then,
- OK, the first thing,
- Nice, Let's go,
- Cool,
(bell ringing)
So, my watch is 7:45 Mountain Standard
time, We synched?
- Whatever,
- Then we're on go mode for lunch, 12:05,
Yes, Chad, we're a go,
But we're not Charlie's Angels, OK?
I can dream, can't I?
(bell ringing)
"Spider" Bill Netrine,
class of '72,
He was the MVP in the league
championship game,
Sam Nedler, class of '02,
Also known as "Sammy Slamma Jamma."
Captain, MVP of the league
championship team,
The "Thunder Clap," Hap Hadden, '95,
Led the Wildcats to
back-to-back city championships,
- A legend,
- 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?
- Get your head in the game!
- No,
These Wildcat legends became legends
because they never took
their eye off the prize,
Get your head in the game!
Who was the first sophomore ever
to make starting varsity?
- Troy!
- Who voted him team captain this year?
- Us!
- And who is gonna get their butts kicked
in Friday's championship game if Troy's
worried about an audition?
- We are,
- Guys, come on,
There's 12 people on this team,
not just me,
Just 12? Oh, no,
I think you're forgetting about one very
important 13th member of our squad,
- My dad,
- Yes, Troy,
Wildcat basketball champion,
class of 1981,
Champion, father, and now coach,
It's a winning tradition like no other,
From lowly Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon,
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,
Uh, but, what is...?
I've got Kelsi waiting for me to rehearse,
Gabriella!
Troy Bolton represents one side
of evolution,
And our side, the side of education
and accomplishment
is the future of civilization!
This is the side where you belong,
Guys, if you don't know that I'll put
a 110% of my guts into that game,
then you don't know me,
- But we just thought...
- I'll tell you what I thought,
I thought that you're my friends,
Win together, lose together, teammates,
- But suddenly the girl... and the singing,
- Man, I'm for the team!
I've always been for the team,
She's just someone I met,
All right the singing thing is nothing.
A way to keep my nerves down.
It means nothing to me.
You're my guys 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?
Behold lunkhead basketball 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,
- Wildcats!
- Get your head in the game!
Whoo!
- Let's go!
- (girl) Go, Wildcats!
& Everybody sing out
& Wildcats everywhere
wave your hands up in the air
& That's the way we do it
let's get to it, time to show the world
& Wildcats, sing along,
they really got it going on
& Wildcats in the house
everybody sing out
& Wildcats everywhere,
wave your hands up in the air...
(team) Troy, Troy, Troy...
& It's funny when you find yourself
& Looking from the outside
& I'm standing here but all I want
is to be over there
& Why did I let myself believe
& Miracles could happen?
& 'Cause now I have to pretend
that I don't really care
& I thought you were my fairy tale
& A dream when I'm not sleeping
& A wish upon a star that's coming true
& But everybody else could tell
& That I confused my feelings with the truth
& When there was me and you
& I swore I knew the melody
that I heard you singing
& And when you smiled you made me feel
like I could sing along
& But then you went
and changed the words
& Now my heart is empty
& I'm only left with used-to-bes
and once upon a song
& Now I know your not a fairy tale
& And dreams were meant for sleeping
& And wishes on a star
just don't come true
& 'Cause now even I can tell
& That I confused my feelings with the truth
& 'Cause I liked the view
& When there was me and you
& I can't believe
that I could be so blind
& It's like you were floating
while I was falling
& And I didn't mind
& Because I liked the view, ooh
ooh, ooh, ooh
& I thought you felt it too
& When there was me and you
(students chattering)
Hey, how you doin'?
I wanna talk to you about something,
And here it is: I know what it's like
to carry a load with your friends,
I get it, You've got your boys, Troy,
It's OK, So we're good,
Good about what?
I wanna talk about the final callbacks,
I don't wanna do the callbacks 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,
- But I...
Me neither,
(horn blows)
Gabriella?
(horn)
Go Wildcats!
Hey, Captain!
- What's with Troy?
- Don't worry about it,
(grunting)
(frustrated grunt)
Oh, hey!
- Troy! Hey,
- Hey, Troy!
Hey, um...
We just had another team meeting,
Oh... wonderful,
We had a team meeting about how
we haven't been acting like a team,
I mean us, not you,
- About the singing thing...
- I don't even wanna talk about it,
We just want you to know
that we're gonna be there,
- Cheering for you,
- Huh?
If singing is what you wanna do,
we should boost you up,
not tear you down,
Yeah, Win or lose, we're teammates,
That's what we're about, Even if you turn
out to be the worst singer in the world,
Which we don't know, because we
haven't heard you sing,
You're not gonna hear me sing, guys,
Because Gabriella won't even talk to me...
... and I don't know why,
We do,
I baked these fresh today,
You'll probably want to try one
before we tell you the rest,
Gabriella, we were jerks,
No, we were worse than jerks
because we were mean jerks,
We thought Troy
and the whole singing thing was
killing our chances of having you
on the scholastic decathlon team,
I heard what he had to say,
I'm on your team now, Done,
No, not done,
We knew that Chad could get
Troy to say things
to make you want to
forget about the callbacks,
We planned it,
and we're embarrassed and sorry,
No one forced Troy to say anything,
And you know what? It's OK,
We should prepare for the decathlon,
it's time to move on,
No, it's not OK,
The decathlon is whatever, but how you
feel about us, and even more, Troy -
- that's what really matters,
(whispers) We tried,
(dog barking)
Hi, uh... Just came to say I'm sorry,
- Hi, Miss Montez, I'm Troy Bolton,
- Oh, Troy!
(mouths) No,
Um... Gabriella is kind of busy with
homework, so now's not a good time,
I made a mistake, Miss Montez, and I
would really like to let Gabriella know that,
- Could you tell her I came by to see her?
- I will... Troy,
- Good night,
- Good night, Thank you,
(phone beeping)
(phone ringing in receiver)
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- What you heard, 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,
You sounded pretty convincing to me.
The guy you met on vacation is more me
than the guy who said those stupid things,
The whole singing thing
is making the school whack,
You said so yourself, Everyone's
treating you differently because of it,
Maybe because I don't wanna
only be the basketball guy.
They can't handle it.
That's not my problem, it's theirs.
- How about your dad?
- And it's not about my dad.
This is about how I feel,
and I'm not letting the team down.
They let me down.
So I'm gonna sing. What about you?
- I don't know, Troy,
- Well, you need to say yes.
Because I brought you something.
What do you mean?
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 pairs audition,
(whistle blows, players yelling)
Whoo,
Yeah!
Zn4, and by doing that,
you end up with two...
... and two, Got it?
Yes!
What's happening?
Come here, Go ahead
and put five grams of this in,
and that causes it to change
from an acidic state,
Causing the color to change from
pink to blue,
Just like those pH strips,
Oh, gotta go, See you guys later!
Whoa!
You're late!
(both) &... strength to believe
& We're soarin'
& Flyin'
& There's not a star in heaven
that we can't reach
& Bop bop bop...
(Troy) & If we're tryin'
(both) & Yeah, we're breakin' free
(gasps)
Wow, They sound good,
(scoffs)
& Like a wave the ocean just...
We have to do something,
OK, our callbacks 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,
That wouldn't work out because then Troy
and Gabriella wouldn't be able to make...
I'm proud to call you my sister,
I know,
(Darbus) I don't want to hear any more
about Troy and that Montez girl,
So, if you're telling me as co-presidents of
the drama club that changing the callbacks
would be what's best for our theater
program, I might actually agree with you,
Is that a yes?
& Bop bop bop, up to the top
& And wipe away your inhibitions
& Stomp, stomp, stomp
do the romp and strut your stuff
& Bop bop bop, straight to the top...
(Chad) No problem at all,
It was crazy, man,
Callbacks the same time as the game?
- And the scholastic decathlon,
- Why would they do that?
- I smell a rat named Darbus,
- I think two rats, neither named Darbus,
Do you know something about this,
small person?
Miss Darbus thinks
she's protecting the show,
but Ryan and Sharpay are
only concerned with protecting themselves,
Do you know what I'll do to
those two show dogs?
Nothing, We're not gonna do
anything to them,
Except to sing, maybe,
Now this is only gonna happen if
we all work together,
- Now who's in?
- You know I'm in,
(classroom chatter)
- A pi pie,
- (gasps)
- Oh, my goodness!
- Oh, my gosh!
What? Thank you!
- Oh, we have something for you too,
- Yeah, come here, look,
(both) Ta-da!
Oh... it's an equation,
Oh!
That's awful!
Stay right there, Watch,
From our team, to yours,
G - O - D - R - A - M - A- C- L - U - B
Exclamation point,
Well, seems we Wildcats are in for
an interesting afternoon,
Go,
G-O-D... dra,, Go dra... Go dray...
- Ugh!
- Drame?
(bell ringing, students yelling)
(rhythmic clapping)
How you feeling?
- Nervous,
- Yeah, me too,
- Wish I could suit up and play with you,
- Hey, you had your turn,
You know what I want from you today?
- The championship,
- Well, that'll come or it won't,
What I want is for you to have fun,
I know all about the pressure,
Probably too much of it has come from me,
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 what the score,
Thanks, Coach... uh...
... Dad,
(cheering, drummers drumming)

(blows whistle)
East High wins the opening tip,
pushing the ball up the court.
(ding)
(man) East High,
We did it!
Great job!
& Shake some booty and turn around
& Flash a smile in their direction
& Show some muscle
& Do the Hustle
All right, Wildcats, time for
an orderly exit from the gym,
(buzzing)
And West High pushes the ball around
the perimeter on the offensive end.
Nice ball movement by West High.
Driving the lane...
shot is up and...
(buzzer sounds)
We seem to be experiencing
some technical difficulties,
(whistle)
We've got a timeout on the court here.
We have a problem,
Stop the game, Stop the game,
Referee has signaled timeout.
Everyone please remain calm.
Go, go, go, go,
We'll get this figured out real soon,
In the meantime, per safety regulations,
we need to all make an orderly exit
from the gym, please,
Thank you,
(both) & Yeah, we're gonna
bop, bop, bop
- & Bop to the top

& And strut your stuff
& Bop, bop, bop
straight to the top

and we just won't stop, stop
& Till we reach the top
& Bop to the top
(applause)
Oh, hi! Call me,
Do you see why we love the theater,
people? Well done!
Ah, Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez,
Troy? Gabriella?
- They'll be here,
- The theater, as I have often pointed out,
waits for no one, I'm sorry,
Well, we are done here,
Congratulations to all,
The cast list will be posted,
Wait! Miss Darbus, wait!
- We're ready, we can sing,
- I called your names, twice,
- Miss Darbus, please! Please!
- Rules are rules!
(students murmur)
We'll be happy to do it again
for our fellow students,
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,
- Well, that's show biz,
- We'll sing without a piano,
Oh, no, you won't,
Pianist here, Miss Darbus,
- You really don't wanna do that,
- Oh, yes, I really do,
Ready on stage,
Now that's show biz,
(Kelsi plays intro)
I can't do it, Troy,
not with all these people staring at me,
Hey, hey, look at me, right at me,
Right at me, Like the first time
we sang together, Remember?
Like kindergarten,
& We're soarin', flyin'
& There's not a star in heaven
that we can't reach

Oh, but it's stolen by number heading back the other way!

Time is running down on the clock!
Looking for an open man.

I might even make you a creme brulee,
High School Musical 2 Script
You must remember, young thespians,
learning is never seasonal.
So, do allow the shimmering lights
of summer to refresh and illuminate
- your fertile young minds.

The future greets you
with its magic mirror,
reflecting each golden moment,
each emboldened choice.
Dude, Miss Darbus
has snapped her cap.
Dude, you're actually listening?
Yes, Jason.
So, what was your favourite
summer memory, Miss Darbus?
Summers have passed fleetingly
since I was your age,
but I remember each
with poignant clarity.
Summer. Summer.
Summer.
Summer.

Let's go and have the time of our lives
Let's go
Yeah
No, but seriously, guys,
this summer I gotta make bank.
My parents keep talking about
how much college is gonna cost.
Yeah, my folks are gonna match
whatever I make,
but I gotta get hired first.
Me, too. I'm saving up for a car,
so I can take that little hottie
on a proper date.
Gabriella.
I understand you've moved
every summer for the past five years,
and I'd hate to think today is goodbye.
No worries. My mom promised
I'm here until graduation next year.
Bless Mom's little heart.
Sharpay, we got off to a rough start,
but you really came through.
I mean, you helped me
with the winter musical.
I did?
Those vocal exercises?
See you.
Gabriella and I have
had, like, five job interviews,
but we keep getting beat out
by college kids.
Yeah, same here. I guess I'm back
in the babysitting business.
Hey, Martha. Hey, Taylor.
Hey, Kelsi, what are you planning
to do this summer?
Grow, write music. Grow.
Your summer activities consultant
has arrived.
Hopefully some of those activities
will include a job.
Hey, whatever happens, as long
as we're together, it's cool, right?
You promise?
Here's my promise.
- "T" as in Troy?
- Well, I... Yeah.
Hey, man, how's it going?
There you go, boss.
Hoops. Let's go.
Yeah, sure, sure.
We're not busy or anything. Let's go.
We could go to the movies,
download music.
Oh, I'm definitely teaching you
a twisted-flip on the skateboard.
Oh, and I have first-aid training,
so I can patch myself up afterwards.
All right!
"Going to movies, listening to music.
"And, golly, Troy,
I have first-aid training."
Oh, please.
Oh. Come here, Kelsi.
I have a summer job for you.
At our country club.
Our rehearsal pianist
is evidently moving.
Or hiding.
- Pardon?
- Sounds great.
Cheer up, Shar, it's summer.
We can do whatever we want to.
Everything changes.
Ryan, who's the absolute primo boy
at East High?
I'd say Troy Bolton has that category
pretty much locked up, don't you think?
And East High's primo girl?
- Just answer the question!
- Gosh, you?
Troy, Sharpay.
Sharpay, Troy. Sharpay...
Shar.
- It just makes sense.
- Evidently not to Troy.
But it's summer, Ry.
Everything changes.
What time is it?
Summertime
Hey
It's our vacation
What time is it?
Party time
That's right
Say it loud
What time is it?
The time of our lives
Anticipation
What time is it?
Summertime
School's out
Scream and shout
Nice workout, fellas.
- I'm starving.
- Me, too.
I'll tell you what. I'm seeing moves
I didn't see last season.
- Keep it coming, guys!
- Yeah. What team?
Wildcats!
All right!
Yo, time for milk.
- So, guys, how's the job hunt coming?
- The big zero.
- Girlfriend alert.
- Talk to me.
This is Thomas Fulton,
General Manager
of Lava Springs Country Club
here in Albuquerque.
I understand you've been looking
for summer work.
Hey, Troy, does Gabriella
still remember your name,
or did she find somebody new
to karaoke with this summer?
That sounds fantastic, Mr Fulton.
But how did you get my name?
Well, we've always had
a student summer work programme
here at Lava Springs.
So, are you ready?
Here's the thing. I know the most
amazing girl... I mean, student.
Straight A's, quintuple straight A's,
and it would be
so amazingly perfect if...
Man, he's really working someone.
It can't be Gabriella.
Whenever she calls, he just blushes.
Yeah, I never said that.
Yes!
- What's up, dog?
- Nothing. Nothing. Nothing!
Okay. I'll tell you what,
you guys stick together this summer,
you work on the game,
and we are talking back-to-back
- championships next fall.
- Yeah!
Can we all redirect this energy
by carrying in the groceries?
- Yes, Mrs Bolton.
- Yes, Mrs Bolton.
Hey, we're kicking off another
hot summer here in Albuquerque.
So, for those cool enough
to have a convertible,
crank up the sound,
breathe that fresh air,
and say hello to summer!
Miss Evans, Mr Evans,
looking very sharp this summer.
Welcome back to Lava Springs.
Thank you, Charles.
Hi, boy!
Oh, can you find
some shade for my car?
- Even if we have to plant a tree.
- Fulton.
And may I say, welcome back.
It's good to be home.
Are the flyers ready?
This year we embossed the flyers
for the show.
Inspired.
I plan to limit member talent
auditions to 30 seconds each.
Amateur performers are very...
- Draining?
- Yes.
Understood.
And should I...
We be so fortunate as to win
the Star Dazzle Award again.
But where would we put it?
We're planning on expanding
the trophy case.
The designs are in my office.
- Fulton, you are so efficient.
- Well...
The staffing matter we discussed?
Done. With discretion.
Fabulous.
- Oh, stop it. Yes. Yes.
- Ryan!
- Sharpay!
- Girls.
Your chaise in its usual spot,
Miss Evans?
Thank you, Javier.
Emma, Jackie and Lea, east of me.
Oh, and you'll be a prince to angle our
chaises on the hour, as the sun moves.
Well, thanks to the kind words
from your mother last season,
I've been promoted.
But, no worries,
I'll make sure that the new lifeguard
is fully briefed
on just how you like things.
So, what's the theme of
the summer talent show, Sharpay?
- Redemption.
- Love it.
It was a very trying year, ladies.
My drama department
was invaded by outsiders,
singers coming from the chemistry lab
and locker room. Shocking, really.
Sis, we've got the pool, the entire club,
and the whole summer to enjoy it.
And the spa has been redone.
There's a guacamole facial and
a seaweed body scrub on the menu.
What could be more fabulous?
- More ice.
- Right away, Miss Evans.
It's out with the old
And in with the new
Goodbye, clouds of grey
Hello, skies of blue
A dip in the pool
A trip to the spa
Endless days in my chaise
The whole world according to moi
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Iced tea imported from England
Lifeguards imported from Spain
Towels imported from Turkey
And turkey imported from Maine
We're gonna relax and renew
You go do
I want fabulous
That is my simple request
All things fabulous
Bigger and better and best
I need something inspiring
to help me get along
I need a little fabulous
Is that so wrong?
Fetch me my Jimmy Choo flip-flops
Where is my pink Prada tote?
I need my Tiffany hair-band
Then I can go for a float
A summer like never before
I want more
She wants fabulous
That is her simple request
All things fabulous
Bigger and better and best
She needs something inspiring
to help her get along
She needs a little fabulous
Is that so wrong?
Fabulous pool
Fabulous splash
Read my lips.
Fabulous parties
Even fabulous trash
Fabulous fashion
No.
Fabulous bling
Yeah.
She's got to have fabulous everything
Nothing to discuss
Everything's got to be perfect for...
Me!
She wants fabulous
That is her simple request
All things fabulous
Bigger and better and best
She needs something inspiring
to help her get along
She needs a little fabulous
Is that so wrong?
This won't do
That's a bore
That's insulting
I need more
I need, I need, I need
I need, I need, I need
I need fabulous
I want fabulous
Fabulous hair, fabulous style
Fabulous eyes and that fabulous smile
Oh, I like what I see
I like it a lot
Is this absolutely fabulous?
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous
Absolutely.
Not.
Yeah!
I got you. I got you. It's okay.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm the new lifeguard.
Wait, are you a member here?
I told you to hire Troy Bolton,
not the entire East High student body!
You told me to hire Troy Bolton.
"Whatever it takes."
Well, why didn't you warn me
about the rest of them?
I did discuss the matter
with the Lava Springs board, of course.
The board. You mean, our...
Mother!
Gabriella Montez and the Wildcats?
Mother, how could you?
Think of your future, kitten.
These are your school chums,
not the fuddy-duddy Lava Springs staff.
These are not my chums!
They'll steal my talent show.
And what fresh talent
you'll have for your summer show.
Mother, did you hear what I just said?
Ryan, talk to Mother.
- Hi, Mom.
- Ducky! How's my dashing boy?
Tell pumpkin if she worries too much,
she'll get frown lines.
Namaste.
- I want them out!
- But your mother specifically said...
Oh, don't mention
that backstabbing yogini to me!
If you can't fire them,
make them wanna quit.
I'm hoping Chef Michael's
gonna teach me
the art of Austrian flake pastry.
And Sharpay's gonna be
where I work every day.
How much better can summer get?
Right? Right?
- A real dream come true.
- Lf you actually get to know her,
- I mean she's...
- Dude.
Hey, I didn't even know
Sharpay's parents owned this place.
Mr Fulton just said, you know,
there's Wildcat fans at Lava Springs,
and jobs are available.
So, I said let's go for it.
Inspiring, Mr Bolton. Truly inspiring.
However, what we're looking for
from all of you,
is not inspiration, but perspiration.
Confirming assignments.
Bolton, Danforth, waiters.
And, when needed, caddies.
What?
Miss McKessie,
I'm told that you're efficient.
- Well...
- Prove it.
You'll handle member activities.
Keep me in sight at all times.
Kelsi, piano.
Lunchtime and cocktail hour.
That means mood music,
not new music.
Capisce?
Martha, chopping, cutting,
preparing plates.
Do complete the summer
with the equal amount of digits
I assume you currently possess.
Oh, Zeke, you will assist Chef Michael
in the...
The promised land.
You hold on to that.
Mr Fulton, Your Excellency, sir,
would it be okay if we draw straws
to see who has to wait on Sharpay?
Please, none of you
will be waiting on Sharpay.
Oh, yes. Snap.
- You will be serving Miss Evans.
- Who's that?
Always address our members as Mr,
Mrs, or Miss. Let's practise.
- Do we have to?
- Shall we?
"Miss Evans,
would you care for lemonade?"
Actually, I'm not Miss Evans. I'm Jason.
- It smells so good and I am so hungry.
- No, wait. You don't...
- No, no, no.
- What's for lunch?
Miss Montez.
It would seem your lunch break
does not start for 3.5 minutes.
I do hope no members drowned
in your absence.
Henceforth, do clock in
and out on time.
Three infractions of any kind,
and your employment is terminated.
Capisce?
Chop, chop, chop.
- Okay, that man officially scares me.
- Yeah.
Suddenly, I'm beginning to miss
detention with Miss Darbus.
- How sick is that?
- Come on.
We got a hoop out back,
two free meals a day,
and we only have to wear
these stupid outfits on duty.
All for one, and one for all. All right?
- This is our summer. Now, what team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
Come on.
How did we get from the top of
the world to the bottom of the heap?
I don't recall you mentioning
the boss is such a creep
We still have the ingredients
to make this summer sweet
Well, we got rags instead of riches
And all these dirty dishes
Just wish I had three wishes
Okay, guys, break it up.
We've got to work, work
to work this out
We'll make things right
The sun will shine
If we work, work, there'll be no doubt
We can still save the summer
if we work this out
Dude, what have you gotten us into?
Come on.
We can totally turn this thing around!
I'd rather face a seven footer
straight up in the post
Yeah
That sure beats hanging here
And burning someone's toast
I needed Benjamins
But this ain't worth the stress
Maybe there's a better way
to fix this greasy mess
We're a champion team
A well-oiled machine
And we've faced tougher problems
than this
I know it's a grind
But I'm sure we can find
A way to have fun
while we get this job done
We've got to work, work
to work this out
We'll make things right
The sun will shine
We got to work, work
There'll be no doubt
If we all come together
We can work this out
Let's work it!
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
A little bit of sugar
A little bit of butter
It's the perfect recipe
Payday
It'll taste so sweet
Payday
Good enough to eat
Gonna make some motion pictures
Hit the mall with all my sisters
Get tickets to the Knicks and Sixers
Kick it with the music mixers
Buy a ride that suits my style
Lounge around the pool awhile
Make a date with my favourite girl
We've got it made
Whoa, we've got to work, work
to work this out
We'll make things right
The sun will shine
If we work, work, there'll be no doubt
We can still save the summer
If we work this out
Work this
Got to work this
We can work this out
So, can we work this out?
Yeah, we can work it out.
Send the waiters right in.
Miss me? Of course you did.
Hey, you ever been on a golf course?
We're employees, Troy. Not members.
And I don't play golf.
Who said anything about golf?
Are you sure it's okay for us
to be out here?
Yeah, unless the jackrabbits turn us in.
So, how's kitchen duty?
Oh, you know, the team that
washes dishes together, wins together.
My mom said summer jobs look good
on college applications.
All part of the frightening concept
called "our future."
Are you worried?
Hey, college costs a fortune.
My parents are saving pennies,
unlike the people at this place.
You're a cinch for a scholarship.
I'm only as good as whatever happens
next season. It's...
I always liked the idea of
being in charge of my future,
until it actually started happening.
So, let's just think about right now,
because I've never been in one place
for an entire summer,
and this means a lot to me,
especially being here with...
Such an outstanding peanut-butter
and-jelly-sandwich maker like me?
I want to remember this summer, Troy.
- Here, catch.
- Oh, I love this game.
- Ready?
- Go.
- Beautiful.
- Very nice! Oh. Your turn.
- You didn't catch a single one of them.
- You...
That was so bad.
Fulton, when I was
on the fourth fairway today,
it seemed bone dry.
Oh, no way!
Could you tell maintenance
to give it a little extra splash?
No way!
- May I have this dance?
- Why, of course you may.
Let's go then.
You are gonna get so wet!
Yeah!
Keep an eye on them tomorrow
and keep me posted.
Why are you smiling?
No worries, Ryan.
This is our turf, remember?
First a break-time infraction,
now frolicking on the golf course.
We are not off to an auspicious start,
are we, Miss Montez?
Actually, Mr Fulton, this was my idea,
so she's...
How gallant, but irrelevant.
We won't allow this to happen again,
will we?
Good morning, everybody.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- Smells good. That smells good.
- Hey, Martha.
- Hey.
- Hey, Jason.
- Hey, morning.
- What's up?
Yeah
You are the music in me
- Sounding good, Kels.
- Thanks.
Actually, I need to go get ready
for the ladies' luncheon.
Won't exactly be rocking out.
You know, I am so excited
about the club's talent show.
I mean, the employees
get to do a number,
and I have ideas for everyone.
You guys can sing the lead,
and maybe Zeke and Chad
can do backup,
and everyone can dance.
Big timeout on that one.
My singing career began and ended
with the East High Winter Musical.
I'm just here to make a cheque
and sneak in the pool after work.
That's... That's really it.
What was that
you were playing a minute ago?
Oh, it's... It's nothing. It's just nothing.
What's this?
Well, I was thinking
if you'd do the show,
that I wanted to be ready,
and I wrote this for you guys.
Come on. Go.
Yeah
You are the music in me
You know the words
"Once upon a time"
Make you listen, there's a reason
When you dream
There's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice above the noise
And like a common thread
You're pulling me
When I hear my favourite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
Because you are the music in me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are the music in me
It's like I knew you before we met
Can't explain it
There's no name for it
I sang you words I've never said
- And it was easy
- So easy
Because you see the real me
As I am, you understand
And that's more than
I've ever known, oh
To hear your voice above the noise
And know I'm not alone
Oh, you're singing to me
When I hear my favourite song
I know that we belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
You are the music in me
Together we're gonna sing
We got the power to sing what we feel
Connected and real
Can't keep it all inside
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
- Oh, yeah
- Yeah, yeah, yeah
You are the music in me
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
You are the music in me
When I hear my favourite song
I know that we belong
We belong
You are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's brought us here because
You are the music in me
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You are the music in me
Yeah
- Oh, I love that song.
- Great job, Kels.
Oh, I've got the talent show sign-up
sheet right here. Are you in?
Maybe we can work this out,
but only if we're all in this together.
Yeah!
This is going to be fantastic.
I'm going to coordinate rehearsal
to coincide with all of our schedules.
Goldenthroat, this is Jazz Square.
We may have trouble.
Now, it's an amazing song,
but Kelsi didn't write it for us.
Hi, Mom.
- Seaweed scrub, darling?
- Maybe later.
Ryan, it might be wonderful
if Troy participates in our talent show.
What? If he sings with Gabriella
then our whole show is going to be
the "Troy and Gabriella Show."
I'm not certain Gabriella
is ideally suited
to help Troy realise his full potential
at Lava Springs.
Mommy, what time
is Daddy gonna be here?
We tee off at noon. Join us?
Love to.
Up. And how shall
we get to the food today, sir?
- I don't know, perhaps skipping.
- Very well then.
Shall we?
Hipty scouty, hipty skipty,
hipty skipty, hipty skipty...
Danforth, Bolton,
you're caddying today.
$40 a bag. You've been requested.
- What?
- By who?
Dude, who cares?
For $40, I'd caddy for Godzilla.
Close, very close.
Thank you.
- Thanks.
- Thanks, man.
Hey, boys! So, Troy, I thought
it was time for you to meet my parents.
Enchantée.
- Awesome.
- Hi.
Hello.
So, where's your dad?
Hi, Daddy!
Where's the first tee
and what's the course record?
I'm just kidding. I built the course
myself and I hold the record,
but who's counting? Princess.
- Son, you've been working out.
- Yoga.
Bring that around, there you go.
Quite a season you boys had.
Oh, Troy played
for the golf team, too, Daddy.
Oh, versatile. How about you, son?
- Baseball. Track and field.
- Outstanding.
Might come in handy the way
I play golf. Fair warning.
Fore!
- Brilliant, darling. Brilliant.
- Lovely.
Chad, you'll be caddying for Mother.
Troy, Daddy.
Daddy.
Bravo!
Brilliant. Let's take a walk.
- Is that a new outfit?
- Yes, just this morning. And yours?
This old thing? I got it last week.
Come on, Chad.
What do you think?
Well, it's 190 to the pin,
downhill lie, elevated green.
I'd go with a full five, sir.
Hi.
- Nice call.
- All right.
Princess, grab your pitching wedge.
This one's yours.
Thanks, Daddy.
Line it up.
That's my girl.
That girl needs to take up knitting.
Or some sport
where she can only injure herself.
- I'm in the sand.
- Me, too.
Knees, hips, shoulders, hat.
Good. Drill it.
Backboard.
Yes!
That's my boy.
- Where...
- I have no idea.
Gabriella! Dinner tonight?
Sneak a swim?
Troy!
- Oh, lovely, darling.
- Nice.
Daddy, why not let Troy try a shot?
- Of course. Of course.
- No, I shouldn't.
- Come on.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah!
- Yes, sir.
- Are you sure it's okay, Mr Evans?
- It sure is.
- Give it a ride.
- Thank you.
- Here you go, Daddy.
- Thank you, dear.
- That's a beautiful swing.
- Really beautiful.
That is a beautiful swing.
- That was awesome.
- Thanks, man.
- Come on! What do you say we...
- What? I don't know.
Off we go.
I'm saving up for a car.
I'm saving up for a car.
Well, Tiger Woods would
have been proud to make that putt!
What a shame that Troy
is only bussing dishes all summer,
given that he's a potential star
for your alma mater, Daddy.
I've seen Troy play basketball.
I think the U of A Redhawks
will be very interested in him.
That's inspired, Daddy.
Troy is very concerned about college.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- How's Coach Bolton these days?
- Oh, fantastic.
Outstanding.
What?
Oh, next time
I see Country Club Princess,
I'm gonna launch her and her pink cart
straight into the lake.
I'll build the ramp, buddy.
Danforth, this is a kitchen,
not a day spa.
You and Jason suit up for dinner duty
in the dining room.
Bolton, you have five minutes
to change and come with me.
In case you're not familiar
with this particular item,
it goes around your neck,
like a dog collar.
Chop-chop.
- And she stepped on the ball.
- I did not.
- Yes, you did.
- I can believe that.
Hey! Here's our superstar.
Troy Bolton, this is Peter.
- Peter. Good to meet you.
- How are you?
- This is Claire.
- Hello.
- And you know the family.
- Hello.
This kid's pretty handy on the fairways
as well as the hard court.
Bet you worked up yourself an appetite
lugging those bags
all over the place, huh?
Yeah, yeah. A little bit.
What do you say we get some food,
and we can talk about your future.
- My future?
- Yeah, sit down.
Have a seat.
Daddy's on the board of directors
at the University of Albuquerque.
So, Troy, I saw your
championship game. I mean, wow!
That last-second shot at the buzzer...
Outstanding.
Actually, my teammates here
stole the ball,
otherwise I wouldn't have
had a chance...
Oh, you're much too modest, Troy.
You were voted MVP
for the entire season.
This shirt positively screams
for a Windsor knot.
- Thank you.
- Let me get that for you.
You know, we've got a heck of
a basketball programme over at U of A,
and an excellent
scholarship programme as well.
Scholarship?
Yeah. You know,
between the two of us here,
we... We pull a little weight over
at the school.
Well, time flies when you're having fun,
but Mr Fulton will probably
want me clocking out.
Come on. Don't be silly.
You haven't had any dessert,
and we haven't talked about golf, yet.
Oh, basketball and golf are
just the beginning with Troy, Daddy.
Have you heard him sing?
Oh, triple threat.
Oh, how wonderful.
Troy can participate in the talent show.
Oh, come on, Troy.
Give them a sample. Kelsi!
Kelsi. No, actually my voice is...
Is feeling a little bit hoarse tonight,
you know, all the talking.
But thank you very much for the food
and the golf and everything.
It was amazing.
But you will sing some other time,
though? With me. Promise?
- Promise.
- Perfect.
Dessert?
Sorry I'm late!
Give me two more minutes.
Nice tie. Your shoes
don't match though. Kidding.
Honey, two minutes is being late,
but an hour is approaching a felony.
Just because Troy's a nice guy, doesn't
mean he's immune to boy disease.
Boy disease?
Yeah, forgetting things
he shouldn't forget.
Oh, so now you're a boy expert?
My older sister has 10 rules
about boy behaviour,
and nine of them involve boys
forgetting things
they should never forget,
like dinner dates.
Well, it wasn't an official date
type of thing.
Rule number three,
all dates are official,
whether the boy knows it or not.
- You're not done.
- But I'm done for the day, sir.
And actually, I have a date.
Mr Bolton, you're under
the mistaken impression
I'm interested in what you have to say.
Just follow me.
- But I...
- No more speaking.
- Hey, where are we going?
- Please, Mr Bolton.
- How long is this gonna take?
- Watch your step. Insurance issues.
I'm supposed to have a date tonight.
But the evening is young
and so are you.
Well, where are we?
Hold your applause until the very end.
What the heck? Mr Fulton?
A long time ago
In a land far away
Lived the pineapple princess, Tiki
She was sweet as a peach
In a pineapple way
But so sad that she hardly speaky
Still, if you listen well
You'll hear her secret wish
Aloha, everybody, my name is Tiki.
I long to free
A truly remarkable fish
My sweet prince
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Ooh
Hawana waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
Ryan, the fog!
She dreams of a boy
Who is under a spell
That has left him all wet and scaly
I sing from my heart
Of the power of love
Just a girl with a ukulele
- Come to me
- Come to her
- My sweet one, and be still
- Be still
I'll grasp your tail
Then stroke each tender gill
My sweet prince
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Ooh
Hawana waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
Now this is where we lead
into the whole Kabuki thing.
The clouds turned grey
And the big sky cried
And the ocean had a fit
Ryan! Where's my ocean?
Then the wind went whoosh
And thunder cracked
And mighty Mount Fufu spit
Mighty Mount Fufu spit
Tiki, Tiki
Want to speaky, speaky, speaky
With the mighty spirit Fufu
Tiki, Tiki
Want to speaky, speaky, speaky
- The words I will not mince
- Word!
Please make a man
Of my fresh fish prince
This is real fish talk. No lie.
And then the fish turns
into a gorgeous prince and sings...
I'm Prince Humu
Humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
No. No way.
Makahiki malihini who
With me.
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Hawana waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
Everybody!
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Makahiki malihini who
Humu, humu, nuku, nuku, a pua'a
Hawana waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
Waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
Waka, waka, waka
Niki pu, pu, pu
One minute.
We'll talk about this later.
So, you love it?
Look, you ever tried just singing?
I mean, without all the lights and sets
and, like, backup people?
Well, it'd be much harder
to get applause that way.
I'm not talking about applause.
I'm talking about hanging out
with friends.
You know, doing nothing,
and singing for fun.
Wait a minute. Not doing anything.
That might work.
A dark stage, a single spotlight.
We break out of darkness
into the circle of light.
- Wait, "we"?
- No set, no frills.
- Oh, man.
- Simple.
Dramatic. Just you and me.
That is such a great idea, Troy.
We could do it at our club talent show.
Look, I'm here to work.
Sharpay, I already told you
being onstage really is your thing,
it's not mine.
It could be our thing.
Time out on that one, okay?
I've got an "our thing,"
it's with Gabriella, and...
And I'm very late for her, so I got to go.
- But the show could be so amazing...
- I love your shoes.
- You like them?
- I really do.
I bought them in New York.
I have them in nine colours.
Girls! Again from the top.
Hey, lifeguard!
You're crazy, Wildcat!
And so late, but I brought food,
a few little candles.
I'm good for a poolside picnic.
What do you say?
Zeke even made desserts.
But first, I dare you to jump in.
You know we're not supposed
to be in the pool. Club rules.
Cramp!
I need a lifeguard!
Rescue me! Rescue me!
Here I come!
Thanks for coming in. Follow me.
Oh, listen.
You know, right now, with you,
it's finally starting to feel like summer.
Yeah, it is.
The water bugs are back.
Look, Mr Fulton, this was my idea,
she had nothing to do with it.
I generously overlooked
your previous break violation,
but then came the golf course jaunt,
and now this. Two strikes.
Don't get a third. Out of the pool.
Sharpay's dad let me play a few holes
and then invited me to dinner
with some U of A alumni.
Really?
And they were talking
about scholarships,
while Jason and Chad
were, like, serving me.
And getting paid for it. It's called a job.
You were invited,
nothing wrong with that.
Yeah. I don't know. It felt weird.
I love that you've got the team
working together,
but you're not gonna be
a Wildcat forever.
The team is now, and that's... It's good,
but everybody's got their own future.
I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Well, when you graduate,
lots of people are gonna be
chasing the same opportunities.
There's nothing wrong with
keeping your eye on the prize.
In fact, if you don't, you get left behind.
Yeah, I know, I'm just saying,
I didn't get my friends jobs at the club
so they could sit and watch me
eat in the dining room.
You know, I'm just saying
never be ashamed of attention,
as long as you've earned it.
You know, a scholarship's special,
that's why there's only a few
to go around.
Yeah, yeah. I get it, Dad.
Okay. So, how was the food
at Lava Springs?
Insanely good.
- Take it out for a spin.
- No way.
Well, you didn't think I was going
to drive this heap, did you?
Yes! Yes!
Okay, bring those knees up as high
as you can and circle those arms.
Hey, water bug. Last night was so fun.
I really didn't mean
to get you in trouble.
Same here.
- So, maybe today we can have our...
- Troy?
What time is your lunch break?
Troy!
- 1:30.
- 1:30, great.
Free cheeseburgers are on me.
Everybody looks great. Awesome job.
Okay, now, some jumping jacks.
Hey. What is she up to?
- Who knows?
- Believe me, she does.
I'm sorry I'm late, Mr Fulton,
but about the pool thing last night,
you can't blame Gabriella...
- I'm promoting you.
- You're what?
There's an opening
as an assistant to the golf pros.
Salaried job, no clocking in.
- But, I...
- $500 a week, plus tips.
What? Per week?
Oh, my... That's off the hook!
I think it sounds very manageable.
Shall we?
Bolton!
- Wait. So you want me to teach golf?
- To kids. Oh, the joy.
- But, sir, I don't think I'm qualified.
- Worry not.
Simply show the little angels
which end of the club to hold,
tee the ball up, then duck.
In addition, the board is extending
membership privileges to you.
You have complete use
of club facilities, but do so prudently,
meaning, fellow Wildcats? Not.
Congratulations.
You'll find an appropriate choice
of clothing here.
Do not mix checks with plaids,
blue with browns,
and avoid wearing white socks
at all cost.
Leave your shoes outside the locker,
they will be buffed and polished
each evening.
Yes! Oh, man!
Save it for the first tee.
And to get there,
this might come in handy.
That's the key to your golf cart.
Number 14.
The same number that's on your
basketball uniform, so I'm told.
Questions?
How did this happen?
It would seem that the Evans family
thinks you have untapped potential.
Young man,
the future is full of uncharted waters,
and this family has real clout,
so I suggest you take the ride.
Yeah.
Italian.
Awesome, junior golfers!
You guys look amazing!
Hey! Hey! Slow down, champ.
Slow down.
Save some for the other kids.
There you go.
Cool shorts, buddy.
All right. Hey. Hey, cutie.
Try holding the club that way,
you're going to hit it way farther.
All right. Nice backswing, man.
Nice backswing.
Good job, killer. Make the ball fear you.
You look good. Great job, everybody.
Good job, guys!
- Bolton. Bolton. Your 11:30 is here.
- Thanks, man.
Good luck, buddy.
Troy!
Oh, man.
- Cool balls.
- Thanks.
You're welcome.
By the end of summer,
you'll have me playing like a pro.
Yeah.
If I live that long.
I'm so excited about the show.
Oh, and don't worry.
We'll find something great to do.
Look, Sharpay, I already told you,
singing really isn't my thing.
And here's the best news,
all the Redhawk boosters will be there.
- Really?
- Of course.
We'll lock up your scholarship
with a high "C" right from centre stage.
We're all in this together, right?
Your parents have been really,
really nice, Sharpay,
but singing with you
isn't a part of my job.
I know,
just something you promised to do.
Remember?
You look fabulous in your new clothes,
by the way.
- You like the shoes? They're Italian.
- Nice.
Let me show you how this is done.
It's really easy.
Just line up to your target.
Nice, easy backswing.
- Hey, Gab.
- Hey!
That girl's got more moves than
an octopus in a wrestling match.
- Nah. He knows how to swim.
- Yeah. Troy can handle himself.
I did overhear him asking her
for her opinion
on his new Italian golf shoes.
He didn't ask me.
So, wake up, sister! She's basically
offering him a college education
just to sing with her in the talent show.
- Troy would never do that.
- You got eyes, use them.
- Let's go eat.
- Yeah, I got to go. Hey, see you later?
- Okay.
- Okay.
You're going to take it back
and through.
- Troy, Fulton wants you in the lobby.
- Fantastic. Thank you. See you.
And she steps on the ball.
- Troy Bolton. This is...
- I've seen them all play at U of A.
Oh, all right.
Well, come scrimmage at our gym.
It'll be good for your game.
- Play with you guys?
- Yeah. Let's get down, bro.
- Awesome.
- All right.
- Let's all get some awesome lunch.
- Yeah.
I knew it! Coral blue!
It's perfect for your skin tone.
And mine, too!
We are majorly skin-tone compatible,
Troy.
- I have no idea what that means.
- You don't need to. I'm here for you.
- Who's hungry?
- Let's eat.
I mean, how can you hit the ball
straight if your clubs don't trust you?
- That's the key. So, it's all in the grip.
- Okay.
You got to hold it just right.
That looks great.
Hey, I almost forgot.
I ordered Swiss on my burger.
So, go ahead and check it out, man.
Try it. See what you think.
Danforth, table three
needs more iced tea.
Now, rotate your hands over the top.
- Put your thumb on that side.
- Okay.
There you go, man. You're good.
I'll see you on the course.
- Yeah. Let's do it, man.
- Yeah.
- Zeke! Troy wants Swiss.
- Coming right up.
You know, you were right.
There's a guy out there
that looks just like Troy Bolton,
but I have no idea who he really is.
Oh, hey.
Kelsi's got some great new ideas
- to spice up the talent show. It's got...
- I'm thrilled.
That new duet
that Troy and Gabriella sang? I need it.
- Actually, it's not available.
- Repeat.
Well, it's something I wrote
for Troy and Gabriella,
just in case they decide to...
You're an employee,
not a fairy godmother. Let's have it.
Transpose it into my key. Troy and I
will be doing it in the talent show.
Oh, and brighten up the tempo.
We'll need to keep people awake.
What about our song?
- What about Humu Humu?
- Change in plans.
What am I supposed to do
with my Tiki Warrior outfit?
Save it for Halloween, go to a luau,
sell it online. I don't know!
But in the meantime,
keep an eye on those Wildcats.
If they're planning on
being in the show,
which I doubt,
once they hear about Troy and me,
I don't want any surprises.
Oh, and don't worry,
I'll find a song for you
somewhere in the show.
- Or the next show.
- Really?
Don't strain yourself, slick.
Entertainers are so temperamental.
Transpose!
Look at you.
- Go, team.
- Yeah. It's a gift from the guys.
The "guys"?
Oh, you mean all those tall people?
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, look. I got to go in a minute,
but I'll be back in about an hour.
I'll pick you up in my new truck
and we'll go to a movie. I promise.
"Promise" is a really big word, Troy.
Yeah. I know.
And we've got
the staff baseball game after work.
Remember, you "promised"
that you'd play?
Right. Right. Baseball.
I will absolutely meet you there.
- You forgot, didn't you?
- No. I just got the date mixed up.
And I'm sorry
I couldn't make lunch today. I just...
It's been wild, you know?
I can't believe
how things are working out here.
So I see. Italian golf shoes,
new clothes, golf carts.
That's crazy stuff.
Hard to keep track of it all, I bet.
So, what's your point?
It just doesn't seem like new stuff,
it seems like a new Troy.
All right, let's see if Tiger Woods
still has a jump shot.
- Hey, hey, Bolton! Come on!
- Hey!
Why don't you tell them
to come over here and mix it up?
We'll show them some game.
You know,
I don't think that's how they roll.
That's not how they "roll"?
No, no, no, that's not what I meant.
I just think it's a closed practice. Sorry.
Wow. Well,
maybe you can get us a video?
Bolton, come on!
But yesterday you said we were
going to play two-on-two after work,
- before the baseball game.
- I know. I know, man. I'm sorry.
Come on, Zeke, that was so yesterday.
You know, when we were all on a team!
- Hey, man.
- Hey, how's it going?
Hey, Bolton! That's my ball.
- Here we go!
- How's it going, guys?
Would you guys be mad at me
if I ask him to get me
one of those cool Redhawk jackets?
Hey. Come on.
I'm so excited about the game.
It's going to be so cool.
Hey, Ryan. No rehearsals?
My sister is working up something new.
So, you coming to the baseball game?
I'm not staff. Wasn't invited.
Hey, everyone's invited.
Come on. Hop in.
All right.
Hold on!
All right! Right here!
Beep, beep!
Beep, beep!
What, did Fulton send you out here
to spy on us?
Nah, my sister did.
She thinks you guys are going to
upstage her talent show.
Oh, no worries.
We were going to do the show,
but then Troy bailed on us,
so, whatever.
What do you mean "whatever"?
It's our summer, remember?
I thought we decided
doing the show would be fun.
- Well, I think so.
- Me, too.
- Who are we kidding?
- I don't think so.
We don't know
how to put together a show.
No, but he does.
If we have a real director
putting it together, it could be great.
Have the employees ever won
a Star Dazzle Award?
- Hey, now...
- I know what you can do, Ryan,
- so why not do it for us?
- All right, look,
if you want to play ball,
then grab a mitt, but I don't dance.
You don't think dancing
takes some game?
- You got game?
- A little.
Yes!
Hey, pitcher. Ball.
All right! Let's hustle!
Come on! Wildcats!
Get your head in the game!

If I can do this
Well, you can do that

Lean back, tuck it in, take a chance

There's not a chance
No, no
If I can do this
Well, you can do that
But I don't dance
Hit it out of the park

Not a chance
No, no
If I can do this
Well, you can do that

Hit it out of the park

- Oh
Slide home, you score
Swinging on the dance floor
I don't dance, no
Safe!
That's it!
It's okay!
Hey, Evans.
I'm not saying
I'm going to dance in the show,
but if I did,
what would you have me do?
Hey! Get back, get back!
Here we go, here we go!
Defence, hold him tight!
Oh, dang!
This kid's good. I like what I'm seeing.
Troy gives 110, 24l7,
that you can count on.
Here we go!
- Game. Game.
- Good game!
Was I right?
Great.
All right,
so you call that a "little" game?
Little League. World Series.
Newport, Rhode Island.
Champions.
- Good job!
- Nice hat.
- You're so awesome.
- Hey.
What can I say?
- Troy, you ready to run it back?
- Let's run it, man.
- All right. Let's go, yo.
- Let's go.
Let's go, yo, let's go. Let's run it back.
- Looking good.
- Wow, Wildcat!
- Too much?
- Only in daylight.
- Yeah.
- East High colours, very impressive.
- Hey. Be true to your school, right?
- Absolutely.
Everyone's excited
about doing the show.
Hey, I know everyone thinks
that I'm Sharpay's poodle,
- but I really think that I could...
- Hey.
If they were thinking that,
they're not thinking that today.
How do you do that swing-step
you did last night?
That's easy.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, I called last night.
I got hung up at the gym.
Hey, my dad says you're doing great
with those college guys.
Oh. Yeah. They're awesome.
Playing with them is like being
in another world.
Well, you missed out on a fun night.
It was a great game.
But the dessert afterwards
had to be the best part.
Her mom makes the best brownies
- in the entire world.
- Yeah, I know. I've had them.
Well, I'll see you guys later.
Hey, LeBron,
how'd it go with the Redhawks?
You know, they're very tall.
We got Vince from maintenance
to play, so it worked out.
- In case you were wondering.
- Maybe we could play later today.
I don't know. Check with Vince.
Well, Mr Evans set up the workout,
not me.
Did you even ask to include us,
Captain?
I didn't go looking for the Redhawks,
the Redhawks came to me. Okay?
I didn't sign up for this golf job,
Fulton offered it. I said yes.
My decision. But I show up to work
same as you, so chill, man.
You get a speck of dirt on your pants,
- and someone dry cleans you.
- And you wouldn't do the same thing...
- lf I was as good as you?
- I did not say that.
- You didn't have to!
- And neither did you!
You know what? We didn't vote you
captain because of your jump shot.
Okay, we did it because you're the guy
who usually knows what's up.
- But I guess things change.
- You think you got me all figured out?
Well, I don't think so.
And I don't answer to you.
Then maybe you should
start answering to yourself!
Look, we have been like brothers
since pre-school.
If I don't know who you are these days,
then who does?
Excuse me. You're all being paid
to work, not play Dr Phil. Chop-chop.
Table settings, nice. Oh. No, no.
No. No. No. Now, that? Fabulous.
Troy!
Daddy will make certain the entire
scholarship committee is right here.
Perfect view.
I've already spoken to your mother.
They're going to be sitting at a table
right next to ours.
It's going to be a fabulous evening.
- Come on.
- Great.
Rehearsal, everyone!
- Taylor, I'm signing off on everything.
- Fabulous!
- Thank you, Mrs Evans.
- Good job.
Look, Sharpay. I know I promised
I'd do this, but just take it easy on me.
I'm kind of new
to the whole performing thing.
Five, six, seven, eight!
You are the music in
You are the music in
Are the music in
You know the words
"Once upon a time"
Makes you listen, there's a reason
And when you dream
there's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice
Above the noise
Like a common thread
Sing it to me
When I hear my favourite song
I know we belong
'Cause you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's here
Because you are the music in me
You are the music in
You are the music in
Are the music in
Harmony to the melody
Echoing inside my head
When I hear my favourite song
I know we belong
'Cause you are the music in me
It's living in all of us
It's here
Because you are the music in
Me, me, me, me, me
You are the music in
You are the music in me
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Great job! One second.
Great rehearsal!
Everybody break!
You know, Troy,
I've always known you were special.
And it's pretty obvious I'm special, too.
I think we were meant to sing together,
don't you?
I need some air.
Don't be long!
We're going to run it again!
Show me what you got!
Come on, everybody! Here we go!
You're up! You're up! You're up first!
Here we go! Give it to me!
Come on! Oh, yeah!
You got it! Here we go!
Pass it to me!
Come on, let's dance!
You're up! You're up!
Let's show them what we got!
Come on! All right!
Oh, cut that! Get out of here!
- You got it! Hey.
- Good job!
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
I said keep an eye on them,
not turn them into the cast of Grease!
Pretty cool, huh?
Do you want us to lose the Star Dazzle
Award to a bunch of dishwashers?
Us? Well, I guess that's showbiz.
When did you become one of them?
You know,
I'll take that as a compliment.
But you and Troy
have a good show, sis.
Oh, we plan to.
Give me a beat.
The Midsummer's Night Talent Show
means something to me,
- and to my family.
- Well...
Those Wildcats will turn it into a farce.
I'm... Your brother is one of
"those Wildcats," I'm told.
Oh, don't you mention that traitor to us.
Employee involvement in the show
is a tradition here.
Traditions change. My parents have
important guests coming.
We'll need every employee working
the party, and not on stage.
Pardon moi, but
we're not just talking about employees,
we're talking about your classmates.
You might want to think this one out.
All right.
Done. Now do it.
- Hi, Taylor.
- Hi.
Distribute these in the staff area,
but not until the end of shift.
- What? Wait! Mr Fulton...
- No discussion, Miss McKessie.
This is a business.
Welcome to the world of adults
who wish to keep their jobs because
they have mortgages they wish to pay,
tuition bills, car payments,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
So, sometimes, we have
to perform tasks, however unpleasant,
that are necessary
for that all-too-important paycheque
to land in our all-too-empty pockets!
- May I get you a cup of tea, Mr Fulton?
- Chamomile would be lovely.
- Go, Martha! Go, Martha!
- Go, Martha! Go, Martha!
May I have your attention, please?
You guys,
I need to make an announcement.
All junior staffers will be required
to work on show night.
- What?
- Yeah, it says,
"No staff participation in the show
will be allowed. No exceptions."
- No show?
- There's a show. We're just not in it.
That's great.
I'm sorry, you guys. There's nothing
we can do about it. It's Fulton's orders.
There's no way this is Fulton's idea.
Unless Fulton suddenly has blonde
hair and wears designer flip-flops.
Excuse me.
- Totally!
- Sharpay!
Forget about the rest of us,
how about the fact
that your brother has worked
extremely hard on this show?
Oh, boo-hoo. He'll be in the show.
He'll do his celebrity impersonations.
And don't lecture me about Ryan,
given the way you've been interfering
with Troy's future.
What?
You've gotten him written up by Fulton
for sneaking on the golf course,
swimming after hours.
I had to step in just to save Troy's job.
I'm not interested in what you think
you're doing for Troy.
That's between you and him.
But you're messing with my friends,
my summer,
and that's not okay with me.
You don't like the fact that I won.
What's the prize? Troy?
The Star Dazzle Award?
You have to go through all of this
just to get either one?
No, thanks, Sharpay.
You're very good at a game
that I don't want to play,
so I'm done here.
But you better step away
from the mirror
long enough to check the damage
that will always be right behind you.
Girls!
Hey.
What do you mean you're done here?
I mean, you can't quit.
Us working together sounded good,
but plans change and people change.
The club talent show is a big deal
for Sharpay,
and evidently for your future,
so it's cool.
Just make it happen.
- Wear your new Italian shoes.
- Hey, I'm still me.
Blowing off your friends,
missing dates?
- Lf that's you, it's good to know.
- No, no, no, no, no.
I was only doing that because
I'm working on the scholarship thing.
You know that.
But if along the way
you act like someone you're not,
pretty soon that's who you become.
I meant what I said about movies
and summer and just being together.
I'm sure you did, at the time.
But I also meant what I said,
that I want to remember this summer.
But not like this, Troy.
I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us
doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps getting in the way
Whenever we try
Somehow the plan
is always rearranged
It's so hard to say
But I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find a place
in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way
Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall every time
Another colour turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away
I'm leaving today
'Cause I gotta do what's best for me
You'll be okay
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
We might find our place
in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way
What about us?
What about everything
we've been through?
What about trust?
You know I never wanted to hurt you
What about me?
What am I supposed to do?
- I gotta leave, but I'll miss you
- I'll miss you
Oh, so
I've got to move on and be who I am
Why do you have to go?
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
I'm trying to understand
We might find a place
in this world someday
- But at least for now
- I want you to stay
I gotta go my own way
I've got to move on and be who I am
What about us?
I just don't belong here
I hope you understand
I'm trying to understand
We might find our place
in this world someday
But at least for now
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
I gotta go my own way
You're usually taking these
right off the grill.
Maybe I've been eating too much
at the club.
You've barely been out of this room
the last three or four days.
- Let's call the guys, get a game going.
- They wouldn't come even if I called.
I find that hard to believe.
Dad, do I seem different
to you this summer?
You dress a lot better, that's for sure.
Oh, man, I'm serious.
Maybe my friends are right,
maybe I'm turning into a jerk
with new shoes.
New shoes, not a new kid.
Where's this coming from?
I've been so focused on my future.
I mean, Gabriella quit.
Chad won't talk to me.
I don't see the Wildcats
running around here.
Is this about going after
what you want?
Yeah, Dad.
The scholarship's important. I get it.
Hey, hey.
Look, it's only a big deal
if it makes sense to you.
I don't even know who I am any more.
You know what?
I've known this kid for a long, long time.
And I got a lot of faith in him.
He looks a lot like you.
I'm absolutely sure he's going
to figure out the right thing to do.
It's so good. I cannot wait.
Yeah, I'm eating so much breakfast,
I won't be able to eat my dinner
at night.
Oh, yeah. It's okay, Ryan's gonna help.
- I don't know.
- We'll get it eventually.
Excuse me.
Everybody's always talking at me
Everybody's trying to get in my head
I wanna listen to my own heart talking
I need to count on myself instead
- Did you ever
- Lose yourself to get what you want?
- Did you ever
- Get on a ride then wanna get off?
Did you ever
Push away the ones
you should've held close?
Did you ever let go?
Did you ever not know?
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost?
You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Bet on me
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
How will I know
if there's a path worth taking?
Should I question every move I make?
With all I've lost, my heart is breaking
I don't want to make
the same mistakes
Did you ever
Doubt your dream will ever come true?
Did you ever
Blame the world but never blame you?
- I will never
- Try to live a lie again
I don't wanna win this game
if I can't play it my way
I'm not gonna stop, that's who I am
I'll give it all I got, that is my plan
Will I find what I lost?
You know you can
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Oh, hold up
Gimme room to think
Bring it on down
Gotta work on my swing
Gotta do my own thing
Hold up
It's no good at all to see yourself
And not recognise your face
Out on my own
It's such a scary place
The answers are all inside of me
All I got to do is believe
I'm not gonna stop, not gonna stop
till I get my shot
That's who I am, that is my plan
We'll end up on top
You can bet on it, bet on it
bet on it, bet on
You can bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
Bet on me
I wanna make it right, that is the way
To turn my life around
Today is the day
Am I the type of guy
who means what I say?
Bet on it, bet on it, bet on it
You can bet on me
This way.
What do you mean
you're not doing the show?
- Exactly that.
- We're singing a duet, Troy!
A duet means two people.
Well, mostly me in this case,
but whatever! Duet!
I'm an employee.
Employees aren't allowed in the show.
No, no, no, no. No, no.
You're an honorary member.
Not any more.
- I asked Fulton for my kitchen job back.
- What?
Sharpay, I don't like the way
you've been treating my friends.
And I don't like the way
I've been treating them either,
so I'm doing something about it.
An entire table of University boosters
are coming to see you, thanks to me.
So, I'll be their waiter.
They'll be thrilled.
Troy, Troy. This could change your life!
I'm more interested in
about what my friends think of me,
and what I think of myself.
Oh, we could all hold hands
around the campfire some other time!
Right now we've got a show to do.
No. You've got a show to do.
I got a kitchen to clean.
It's okay.
Kelsi, find Ryan.
Welcome this evening.
You'll be seated at table 21.
Kelly, will you escort them, please?
Excellent.
Ladies, you look gorgeous
- this evening. Beautiful.
- And now, returning with
a abridged version
of last year's tap-dancing epic,
Tina and her Tippety-Tappity Toes!
There you are! Thank goodness
you've come to your senses.
Plug in the volcano.
Humu Humu is back on.
Enjoy your pineapple on your own, sis.
I'm not doing the show.
What? Oh, put some fresh batteries
in your Tiki Warrior costume
- and let's get going!
- Took your advice. Sold it online.
You've always wanted the spotlight.
Now you've got it. Break a leg.
The curtain's up. Showtime!
Kelsi told us what went down
between you and Sharpay.
I'm more interested in what went down
between me and you, man.
- I was a jerk.
- Yeah.
But, hey, brothers fight.
And they're still brothers.
All right!
Guys, I messed up your show
and I'm sorry.
Yeah, because show business
is our entire lives, right?
Hey, I hope you haven't permanently
filled my spot in the two-on-two game.
And, Ryan, I know how hard
you must've worked on this show.
Making these Wildcats look good
couldn't have been easy.
- Hey.
- So, I apologise.
Hey, the truth is,
we've all had a lot of fun.
At least, I have.
Hey, you gotta see
this dude play baseball.
I'm looking forward to it.
- All right!
- Yeah!
Troy, listen, all these people out there,
I don't really want
to see my sister crash and burn.
At least, I think I don't.
I think you should sing with her.
My life is over. I've been a good girl.
I've never lied, except when necessary.
I always bought my parents
expensive gifts,
using their credit card, of course.
But I don't deserve this humiliation!
You need to get out there.
Mrs Hoffenfeffer and her sock puppet
are stinking up the premises.
Well, the only thing that
would make it any lovelier would be
that if I won that Star Dazzle Award!
Sharpay, I'm going to find you.
That award, I tell you, it's mine!
Mine! Mine!
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the...
Oh, forget it.
How's your show going?
How's it going?
My show makes the captain
of the Titanic
look like he won the lottery.
- I'll sing with you, Sharpay.
- What?
I promised. And I keep my promises.
But what was the first thing you said
to me when I started working here?
- Bring me more iced tea?
- Think harder. We're...
- All in this together.
- Exactly.
Well, we are.
So, let's get out there
and knock them dead, Troy Bolton!
I do the show
if the Wildcats do the show.
And I'd think fast.
I just sort of wish
you were doing this for me.
You're a good guy, Troy.
And actually, right now, I think
I like you better than I like myself.
Did I just say that?
Girls! Places!
- Okay. Everyone. Ryan, the show's on.
- Where's the music? Where's Troy?
Talked to Sharpay, everything's cool.
Hey, speaking of my sister,
she wants you to learn a new song.
Everyday. I can't learn a new song!
- Kelsi will help you with it.
- What?
- It's showtime!
- Yeah!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
- What team?
- Wildcats!
Once in a lifetime
And now it's time for our five-time
Star Dazzle Award winner,
Miss Sharpay Evans,
singing this year with
our assistant golf pro, Mr Troy Bolton.
Where is Troy?
- Hey. Why did you switch songs?
- Switch songs? What?
- Yeah, Ryan said...
- Bolton!
- But I didn't learn a new song.
- Exactly.
Girls!
Once in a lifetime
Means there's no second chance
So I believe that you and me
Should grab it while we can
Make it last forever
And never give it back
It's our turn
and I'm loving where we're at
Because this moment's really
all we have
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
Every day
From right now
Gonna use our voices
and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we will celebrate
Celebrate
Oh, every day
They say that you should follow
And chase down what you dream
But if you get lost and lose yourself
What does it really mean?
No matter where we're going
Oh, yeah, it starts from where we are
There's more to life
When we listen to our hearts
And because of you
I've got the strength to start
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
Oh, every day
From right now
Gonna use our voices
and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we will celebrate
Oh, every day
We're taking it back
We're doing it here together
It's better like that
And stronger now than ever
We're not gonna lose
'Cause we get to choose
That's how it's gonna be
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
Keep the faith
Every day of our lives
Wanna find you there
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
Oh, yeah
- Every day
- Every day
From right now
Gonna use our voices
and scream out loud
- Take my hand
- Take my hand
Together we will celebrate
- Every day
- Oh, every day
Oh, oh, every day
Oh, every day
Every day
- Oh, yeah, yeah
- I'm singing every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Yeah
Just fabulous! Fabulous!
Well. If you'll all
please take your seats.
I have one last task
to perform this evening.
The Star Dazzle for this year goes to,
of course, our one and only...
My brother, Ryan Evans!
That's our boy!
Fix the hat.
Yeah
You are the music in me
You know the words
"Once upon a time"
Make you listen
there's a reason
When you dream
There's a chance you'll find
A little laughter, or happy ever after
You're harmony to the melody
That's echoing inside my head
A single voice above the noise
- Here's to the future.
- No. Here's to right now.
And like a common thread
You're pulling me
When I hear my favourite song
I know that we belong
Oh, you are the music in me
Yeah, it's living in all of us
And it's brought us here because
- Because you are the music in me
- Because you are the music in me

Coral blue!
It's totally like your skin tone.
And mine, too! We are majorly
skin-tone compatible, Troy.
My daughter.
Then maybe you should
start answering to yourself!
By the end of summer,
you'll have me playing like a pro.
If we live that long.
For you.
Cut!
Troy!
- Put it in forward.
- It is!
Let's go!
- I'm open, I'm open.
- I don't see it!
- Take your time!
- Run!
- Run!
- Go, go!
- Let's go!
- Defense! Defense!
Come on,
man!
- Hustle, hustle!
- Control that ball!
- Bolton! I'm open!
- Set it up! Let's go!
All right, let's go!
Let's move! Let's move!
- Watch the run in.
- Watch the back door!
Get it!
That concludes
the first half of play
in our final game,
with the West High Knights
leading defending champion
East High Wildcats 47- 26.
Sixteen minutes remain in the game.
All right! No more X's and O's. OK?
Forget about the scoreboard because
here's a number that matters.
Sixteen. There's 16 minutes
left in this game, guys.
There's only 16 minutes
left in the season.
And for the seniors
on this squad... guys...
...you've only got 16 minutes
left in a Wildcat uniform.
So make them count.
Sixteen minutes to be a team.
Captains!
All right.
Hey, guys.
Now, you heard Coach.
We're all gonna remember
the next 16 minutes
for a long time
after we leave East High.
So it's now or never.
Chad.

I'm pushing.
- You better be.
- I'm pushing!
- Push harder!
- Chad, tree!
Home sweet home.
- I'm saving for a new fuel pump.
- Mm-hm. Save faster.
Hey, turn it up, Kels.
- How you doing, girl?
- I'm good!
- Great comeback!
- Thanks.
- Watch that tail. It's dangerous.
- You know it!
- Amazing! We won!
- I didn't think they'd come back.
Hey!
- Congratulations!
- Thanks. Can I fix you a plate?
- I want one of everything!
- Are we celebrating?
What's up, Hoops?
- Back-to-back champions!
- Yeah, thanks.
Coach, got a couple
of empty lockers at U of A?
Hopefully not for long.
Charlie Danforth
will suit up next season.
Front row seat will be fine.
That teamwork I saw tonight, that assist
where you gave up the final shot,
that's the kind of players
I'm looking for.
We're going to see you
in Redhawk uniforms?
- Done deal.
- Amen to that.
- Go have some fun.
- OK.
- Congratulations, Troy!
- Hey! Thanks.
- Yo!
- Hey, dude!
Sweet game!
Hey, Troy. Great house, bro.
Your room is way cool.
Thanks, man. You were in my room?
Well, yeah. I just took a picture. Look.
- I'm doing mine the same way.
- Great.
We should hang out tonight.
Get to know each other or something.
I just gotta grab the championship
trophy I left it in my truck.
- Don't sweat it! I'm on it!
- OK.
Hi!
So, another top-secret hiding place?
You're the second girl I've had up here.
The first was my mom.
She only climbed up here to get me down.
Well, I'm honored.
This place is so cool.
Me and my dad built it.
That the coach
from U of A down there?
- Yeah. He's at my house.
- Yeah.
Crazy.
I bet he's already got
your name on a locker.
It's always been my dad's dream. Now
I'm going to end up at his alma mater.
Did I just say that?
My mom and I have been talking about
Stanford pretty much since I was born.
And you're already in. That's so cool.
Except she won't stop talking
about it. It's embarrassing.
Come on. She's proud of you.
I'm proud of you.
The thing about Stanford
is it's a thousand and fifty...
...fifty-three miles from here.
I know.
It suddenly seems like the rest
of the school year is coming so fast.
Yeah. I wish it would all just stop.
At least just slow down.
Can you imagine what would happen
If we could have any dream?
I'd wish this moment
was ours to own it
And that it would never leave
Then I would thank that star
That made our wish come true
Oh, yeah
'Cause he knows that where you are
Is where I should be too
Right here
Right now
- Right now
- I'm looking at you
And my heart loves the view
- 'Cause you mean everything
- Everything
Right here
I promise you somehow
Somehow we're gonna
Tomorrow can wait
for some other day to be
To be, but right now
there's you and me
Oh, we know it's coming
And it's coming fast
It's always you and me
- So let's make every second last
Make it last
'Cause right here
Right now
Yeah, I'm looking at you
And my heart loves the view
'Cause you mean everything
Right here
I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait
For some other day to be
To be, but right now
there's you and me
- You and me
- You and me
You and me
But right now there's
You and me
Is this a pirate's wheel?
No.
Very cute.
I haven't played
with Robo-Rob since third grade.
- I'm Robo-Rob. I am...
- Don't break him. Don't break him.
- That's Chad's.
- Sure it is.
Now it's just like kindergarten.
Troy? You have guests.
Don't make me come up there
and get you again. Hi, Gabriella.
We'll be right down, Mom.
She really will come up here
if we don't go down.
Oh, OK.
Right there, right there. OK,
come on through. Come on. There you go.
Wow.
Hey, Troy.
So, when's the big game?
Uh, yesterday.
Oh, well. Good luck.
- Wow.
- She's so sweet.
What are you? I mean, who are you?
Good morning, Ms. Evans. I'm Tiara Gold.
I transferred
to East High from London
and I noticed on the board you're
in need of a personal assistant.
Yeah, with finals, prom, graduation,
I need someone tracking
my appointments and assignments.
Most important, I need someone
to run lines for the musical.
- That's a theater term for...
- Learning your role. I understand.
It's best to keep
science and math books together,
since those are
first lessons of the day.
How do you know my schedule?
I took the liberty of checking,
simply to make certain
I'd have your nonfat, no-foam,
soy latte ready for free period.
- One packet of sweetener?
- Organic.
I'll e-mail you my wardrobe choices each
morning so that our outfits won't clash.
If you own any orange, get rid of it.
By the way, like the accent.
It's... sweet.
Troy, my brother.
Can I have your gym locker?
- What?
- Like starting next week.
I'll be running the team next season
and it'll help me out with the guys.
- Yeah, why didn't I think of that?
- I don't know.
Tardy again. Later, bro!
Are you serious?
What about her... Hey.
All right, everyone. Settle down.
We are all excited about our Wildcats'
- top-to-bottom championships.
- That would be "back-to-back. "
Whatever the case,
it was a grand slam. Well done!
And our student body president
and co-editor of the yearbook,
Taylor McKessie,
has important announcements.
Senior trip committee meets tomorrow
and reports Thursday to prom committee,
headed by Martha.
Pick up your tickets from her.
This year's theme is "The Last Waltz. "
But don't be last to pick up tickets.
Graduation committee convenes Monday.
Picture deadline is Thursday
and finals study groups alternate
with all of the above. Questions?
What's the lunch special
in the cafeteria?
New York deli. Anyone else?
Moving on. Ms. Sharpay Evans, four-term
president of the drama club,
spring musicale report.
Well, with prom, finals,
everyone is so busy.
I was thinking
I'd select something modest.
Perhaps even a one-woman show.
A little light on the sign-ups, Kelsi?
No. We're actually doing pretty well.
Well, well, well.
Almost the entire homeroom.
How inspiring!
I will happily see all of you
at free period to discuss the show
and to make a very special announcement.
I'll be retaking my finals two or three
times. I'm moving into the library.
I'm working on my truck every day.
I've got five recipes
for Family Science final.
We've got a yearbook to edit, so no.
Sorry! Jeez. I thought since it was the
last show, everyone would want to do it.
- You're wrong.
- We just don't have time.
Hey. Hey, you guys, listen up.
Kelsi's right. We should do this.
This is our last chance
to do something together.
All of us. Something really fun.
Oh, yippee.
So, what do you say, Wildcats?
No, I still don't think
it's a good idea.
- Guys, come on! It's our senior year!
- Troy.
We're all in this together.
This is our senior year.
I'm in.
What?
- It will be fun.
- Yes!
- Oh, boy.
- How much time will it take?
Yeah. And what the heck
is the show about?
You, Mr. Danforth.
Me?
The spring musicale is all about you.
Hold up. If it's about me, then
can I have my ball back? Please?
- It's about all of you.
- Go!
And all of you will create it.
A show about your final days at
East High. We'll call it Senior Year.
Genius.
Uh-uh-uh! Playing a role is easy,
but being yourself,
now that's a challenge.
Miss Darbus, exactly...
Kelsi will compose,
Ryan will choreograph
- and I will direct.
- Thank you.
Now, I have
some very important news from...
...the Juilliard School
in New York City,
America's preeminent college
for the performing arts.
And for the first time
in East High history,
Juilliard is considering four of you
for one available scholarship.
- Miss Sharpay Evans.
- I'm already packed.
- Mr. Ryan Evans.
- Dance.
- Miss Kelsi Nielsen.
- What? They got my letter?
They certainly did.
And, lastly, Mr. Troy Bolton.
What?
Juilliard will be sending
representatives to observe our show.
So good luck to our four applicants.
Yeah, nice. Nice, guys.
That's pretty funny.
So... who's the big comedian?
- Is there something wrong?
- Yeah. Yeah, I didn't apply.
- I've never heard of Juilliard.
- Well, that may be, Mr. Bolton,
but evidently Juilliard
has heard of you.
And as you create this show,
you must dig deep
and think about your aspirations
and dreams for the future.
Line up, downstage, please.
Let's begin with Mr. Danforth.
Step forward, please.
Your future.
It's easy. It's U of A.
Hoops all the way.
- Yeah.
- Miss McKessie.
I'm going to be the President
of the United States.
Oh.
I'm going to finish
college first, of course.
Martha Cox, you're late.
I'm sorry, I just thought maybe
we could use a few more dancers.
I feel a show coming on already!
Mr. Bolton.
- Mr. Bolton.
- Hmm?
- Your future.
- Oh, yeah, uh...
You know... uh...
I've been thinking about...
Uh...
I think we should stage
the perfect prom.
Golly gee, how adorable.
What do I want?
Gosh, I wouldn't know
where to begin.
But I know where it ends.
Center stage.
A single spotlight.
A huge marquee that reads...
New York deli platter, please.
- How can you think about food?
- Maybe because it's lunch time?
No pickles.
Throw that Big Apple parfait in.
OK, this show is our last shot, Ryan.
Sharpay's meal, please.
Thanks. That's great.
Troy pretended
to know nothing about Juilliard.
- Give me a break.
- He seemed surprised to me.
The theater fairy magically
sent in Troy's application?
Performers can't fool me. They're
deceitful, ambitious and ruthless.
- Aren't we performers?
- Exactly.
Hmm.
Imagine having everything
we ever dreamed
- Don't you want it?
- Maybe
- Can't ya see it?
- Kinda
Imagine first audition
after college I get the lead
- A part for me?
- Well, of course
- Yeah, right, keep talking
- You gotta believe it
- You and I, all the fame
- Sharpay and what's-his-name
- Sound exciting?
- Inviting
- Let's do it then
- Listening
Personal stylist
agent and a publicist
- But where do I fit into this?
- With you, we can win
- Win the part?
- Think bigger
- Become superstars?
- That's better
Don't you see that bigger is better
And better is bigger
A little bit it is never enough
No, no, no
Don't you want it all?
You want it
You know that you want it
The fame and the fortune and more
You want it all
You want it
You know that you want it
You gotta have your star on the door
You want the world, nothing less

Oh, dance

Thank you! Thank you all!
It's Oprah calling.
Again.
She wants you on the show.
They're going to get back to you.
- You know how fast you were going?
- Officer Chad!
Hey, it's Ms. Evans.
How you doing? Follow me.

All
It's ours, Ryan.
Wait a minute. Miss D said that
there's only one scholarship.
There's two of us.
We're twins. They're going
to have to take us both.
Listen, Kelsi always writes her
best songs for Troy and Gabriella.
So you make certain we get those songs.
How?
Polish her glasses, buy her some
ruby slippers, take her to prom.
I don't know.
Just do it.
- Hey, Tay.
- Morning, Sunshine.
- You going to rehearsals today?
- Uh, do I have a choice?
You got us into this. I don't
understand. You might not be here.
Told anyone you're up for
Stanford's Freshman Honors?
No.
You're gonna hear from them any day.
- Hello?
- Taylor, these things take time.
- Hey.
- I need you right away.
- What?
- Look up.
I have to go.
This has two weeks detention
written all over it.
Have fun.
I really need your help.
Which one do you think I should wear?
Because?
Because you're going to have
a pretty dress, so I want to look right.
I've never been asked to a prom, but
this almost sounds like an invitation.
This one.
I've never been to a dance,
much less a prom.
But I was hoping these
might be a good start.
Do you think we're going
to have to waltz?
Because I have no idea how to do that.
All I know is what my dad
taught me when I was a little girl.
I'd stand on his toes, and he'd
waltz me around the living room.
Come here. I'll show you.
- What?
- Come here.
We're on the roof.
Come here. You'll love it.
Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step
Keep your eyes
Locked on mine
And let the music
Be your guide
- Won't you promise me
- Now won't you promise me
- That you'll never forget
- We'll keep dancing
- To keep dancing wherever we go next
- Wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling
The way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
- So can I have this dance?
- Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
Oh
No mountain's too high and no
Ocean's too wide
'Cause together or not
our dance won't stop
Let it rain...
Let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe
that we were meant to be
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding
Someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling
The way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
- So can I have this dance?
- Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
- Can I have...
- This dance?
Can I have this dance?
- So is that a yes?
- In every language.
Yes.
Oh, come on!
Where's our clothes?
- Yo, Rocket Man.
- Oh, there they are.
- Thought you wanted our lockers.
- It's moving day.
Oh, sweet.
- Good job.
- Thanks, man.
Perfect timing, Bolton.
We weren't just given these lockers.
We had to earn them.
Right. Right. Thanks, man.
- Chad, what's the combo?
- What's the combo?
It's like he said.
You got to earn them.
What's that supposed to mean?
Hey, guys! Come back.
What are you talking about?
- Not cool, guys!
- Hey, Bolton! Danforth!
Hey, stop playing games!
This isn't funny, guys!
Chad, up top.
- I got it.
- Spike!
- Let's go! Out!
- Give me my clothes!
- This isn't funny, guys!
- Just give me my clothes, man!
Look out. Coming through.
Hey, those are new jeans!
I need those back!
Arms, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
You're really stressing me out.
I need to breathe.
And I don't know what Ryan is doing.
He's doing some kind of
yoga Fosse thing.
Two, three, four... What are you doing?
... six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, great,
five, six, seven...
Troy, just give me my clothes!
- Yearbook opportunity.
- Photo op.
Smile!
Wow.
- Hi.
- Bold choice, gentlemen.
We all must have the courage
to discover ourselves.
However, at East High,
we will discover ourselves
whilst clothed.
But welcome to our drama club
and our spring musicale.
Yeah, welcome.
The stage crew can use
your help during detention...
...painting sets.
Throw a sheet over them.
Ryan!
OK. All right, guys,
let's go back up to the top.
Jason, why don't you come
down here and help me out.
Fuel pump...
...work in progress.
If my truck falls apart
because I'm spending my time onstage,
it's your fault.
You think I'd be spending any time
at all up there if it wasn't for you?
You know what? I do.
- What?
- You're so good.
I watch you in rehearsals. You love it.
Why is that so hard for you to admit?
It isn't, to you.
But to my dad? To Chad?
Yeah, it's a little hard.
It shouldn't be.
They're happy as long as
we're all talking about U of A.
You chose Stanford. U of A
was sort of chosen for me.
I haven't talked
to anybody about this, but...
...I've had offers from other colleges.
- I'm really listening.
- I get it, Troy.
I still have decisions to make, too.
Like what?
I thought I heard you. I was just making
some snacks inside. Are you guys hungry?
- I interrupted something, didn't I?
- Just talking, Mom.
- Homework.
- OK.
Speaking about homework... come on.
I was joking.
Compliments of Zeke.
Be careful, they're still hot.
He doesn't know they're gone.
Eat the evidence.
Kissing up to the yearbook editors.
Very smart move.
Chad's hoping for two pages on himself.
Maybe even a third page,
just for his hair.
Hey, what's right is right.
Hoops, by the way, could you take me
after school to check out that tuxedo?
Tuxedo? For what?
For prom.
Honey, if that's
what you call an invitation,
you'll be dancing with yourself.
Ohh.
- Yo, yo, yo. It's lunchtime.
- Come on, people. Go!
- You ready?
- Yeah.
It's now or never, man.
The Garden Club is rooting for you.
Mmm.
- OK. I'm going in.
- Go get her.
- Troy, I really just...
- No, we're doing this now.
How long have you been up there?
- Hair's great.
- Don't...
I know. I heard that, too.
- Yes, good.
- Yes. OK.
- Your turn.
- So... Hey.
I was kind of wondering if you'd...
...maybe go with me.
Oh, hey, Chad. They have Tuna Surprise
on the menu. It's good. Really good.
Dude.
Taylor.
Hey, I'm asking you to prom.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you
because it's so loud.
- Did you hear something?
- No.
- Neither did I.
- Excuse me. Excuse me, everybody.
- What are you?
- Yo!
Oh.
My friend has something to say.
Taylor McKessie.
Will you please be
my date to the senior prom?
Aww...
I'd be honored.
Dude, I need to go shoot
some hoops or something.
You nailed it!
Guess now it's official
- Can't back out, can't back out
- No
Gettin' ready
For the night of nights
The night of nights, all right
- Don't panic
- Panic
Now do we have
to dress up for the prom?
Dude, I don't think we have the choice
Yeah it's the night of all nights
Got to look just right
Dressin' to impress the boys
Do I want classic or vintage or plaid
- Where's the mirror
- I think this tux is too baggy
Too tight
It makes me look weird
Should I go movie star glamorous
Sassy or sweet
Don't know, but no one better
wear the same dress as me
It's the night of our nightmares
It's the night of our dreams
It's too late to back out of it
- Hey, makeovers, massages
- Don't know what a corsage is
Been waiting all our lives for this
- It's gonna be a night
- Can't wait
- To remember
- Oh, man
Come on now
Big fun, all right
- It's gonna be the night
- I guess
- To last forever
- Lucky us
We'll never ever ever forget
- Gettin' ready
- Get ready
- Get, gettin' ready
- Get ready
Gettin' ready
Get, gettin' ready
Go
Hey, you've been in there an hour.
So, what should I do with my hair?
- Where's my shaver?
- I love it
- I look like a waiter
- Should I fluff it?
It's getting later already
Should be there
Her mother opens the door
I'm shakin' inside
He's here, it's time
The hour's arrived
Don't know why
her father's starin' me down
Where's my purse, lip gloss?
Now I'm really freakin' out
Then something changes my world
The most beautiful girl
Right in front of my eyes
- It's gonna be a night
- Oh, yeah
- To remember
- That's for sure
Come on now
Big fun, all right
- It's gonna be the night
- Here tonight
- To last forever
- Forever more
We'll never ever ever forget
Guys, right here. Guys!
Who's that girl? She's so fine
Who's that guy? I don't recognize
Who's that girl?
She looks so good, yeah
Guess you never really noticed
But you probably should
Big fun
- On the night of nights
- All right
The night of nights
Tonight
Let's dance
On the night of nights
You know we're gonna do it right
It's gonna be a night
To remember
It's gonna be the night
To last forever
It's gonna be our night
To remember
It's gonna be the night
To last forever
It's gonna be our night
You know it
To remember
For all time
Come on now
Big fun
It's gonna be the night
We love it
To last forever
The rest of our lives
We'll never ever ever forget
It's gonna be our night
Oh, yeah
All together
Say it loud
Come on now
Everyone, that's right
It's gonna be the night
Yeah, the night
To remember
Hear the crowd
And never ever ever
Never ever ever never ever
Never never forget
Bravo! Brava! Lights, please!
Kelsi, splendid music.
Ryan, your choreography
is quite inventive.
- Thank you.
- And, Jason,
we do not chew gum in theatre or prom.
See me at detention.
Lighting crew needs help.
Excellent work, everyone.
Costumes on the rack.
I will see you all tomorrow.
Kelsi's writing something amazing
for Troy and Gabriella.
A song, most likely.
- Just find out what it is.
- OK.
Hi, Boi! How was I? Thank you!
- Hey Troy, good job, man.
- Dude, stop doing that!
I'm sorry.
Look, there's Sharpay.
Now, you didn't hear this from me,
but she has a secret crush on you.
- A secret crush on me?
- Shhh!
Shhh.
- Should I talk to her?
- Yeah.
OK. All right.
Mr. Zara.
Yo! You can call me
"Rocket Man" if you want to.
How generous.
Mr. Zara, since you have become
such a dedicated presence,
I'm making you an understudy. Miss Gold!
- You as well.
- Nice.
I'm in!
I'm playing "The Understudy. "
- Congrats.
- Right. What's up?
"Understudy" isn't a role, you moron.
You go on if one of the leads
can't make the performance.
Well, I hate to break it to you, sister,
but you're one, too.
The difference being I can carry a tune.
Listen, I wouldn't sing with you
if my hair was on fire
and you were the last bucket
of water on Earth.
I wouldn't sing with you
if I were starving
and you were
the last pickle at the picnic.
Want to go to lunch sometime?
Gentlemen, start your engines.
That's what I'm talking about, bro.
Yo, come check out these guitars.
What is this?
"Stanford's Honors Program cordially... "
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my goodness! "You and 29 students
are invited for early orientation. "
Oh, my gosh, that's huge.
Your mom must be so proud.
Taylor, you're the only one that knows.
But you've already accepted, right?
I'm throwing a going-away party.
This is huge!
You can't get rid of me that easy.
We've got a yearbook to do.
- Back to work.
- OK.
- These are Sharpay's yearbook photos.
- Of course they are. Thank you.
- This better be good.
- They select only 30 freshmen
from the entire incoming class. It's
a special three-weeks Honor program.
How prestigious.
But the program starts in two weeks.
She'd miss our sh... your show.
Oh, my goodness. What to do?
The show must go on, mustn't it?
- Morning.
- Morning.
"I just wanna be with you. "
I got a lot of things I have to do
All these distractions
Our future's coming soon
We're being pulled
A hundred different directions
But whatever happens
I know I've got you...
- It's beautiful.
- Thanks.
I mean, really. This,
the prom number, everything.
It's going to be a great show.
- Speaking of prom, what are you doing?
- It's two days before the show.
I'm writing orchestrations and fixing
charts. I still have to write lyrics.
Great. I'll pick you up at 8:00.
You're on my mind
You're in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
We'll be all right
Even if we're miles apart
All I wanna do
Is be with you
Be with you
There's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us
- Nothing can break us apart
- You know it's true
I just wanna be with you
- Great!
- Awesome.
Just be with you
You know how life can be
It changes overnight
It's sunny then raining
but it's all right
- A friend like you
- Always makes it easy
- I know that you get me
- Every time
Through every up through every down
you know I'll always be around
Through anything you can count on me
All I wanna do
Is be with you
Be with you
There's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us
Nothing can break us apart
You know it's true
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you
Bravo! Great rehearsal. Pity
the actor that has to follow you.
I believe that actor is you,
Mr. Choreographer.
Oh, really?
- OK, let's take five and run it again.
- Yes!
- Ryan!
- That's five, everybody.
Did you get a copy
of that song from Kelsi?
No. But I'm taking her to prom.
Brilliant. Keep your friends close,
and your enemies closer.
Now get me that duet.
Uh... Sharpay, you are not Gabriella.
Zzztt!
Don't be so sure.
- Hey, Bobby.
- Hey, the boys are back.
- Hey, Bob.
- How are you?
- Mr. Riley.
- Troy.
There is nothing like the purr of
a well-tuned engine. That wasn't it.
Yeah. My fuel pump's deceased.
You have a radiator cap for me?
- Heard of duct tape?
- That's what I got on it now.
Dig around over there.
I'm sure you'll find what you want.
I am so excited about you boys
playing at the U of A next year.
I bought my season tickets.
I got to take off early today,
so lock up when you're done.
- Yeah.
- You know where the key is.
- Say "hey" to Coach.
- Will do.
Did you hear that? He's got season
tickets. Time to start practicing.
Take a breather, LeBron.
Feel like your future
is laid out in front of you?
- What is your point?
- I don't know.
I just want my future
to be my future.
Do you see what happens when you
do a show? You're, like, five people.
Yeah, but what's so bad about that?
We used to come here as kids,
we'd be ten people.
We'd be spies, superheroes, rock stars.
Hold this. We were whatever we wanted
to be, whenever we wanted to be it.
It was us.
Yeah, we were, like, eight years old.
For the record, I was
a better superhero than you were.
Take it back to the place
when you know it all began
We could be anything we wanna be
We can tell by the noise
that the boys are back again
Together making history
It's time to show how
To be a superhero
Just like a showdown
Will Smith and Bobby De Niro
We're the best, no doubt
Doing it like we used to do
This is our town, yeah
And I'm telling you
Oh, the boys are back
Hey, the boys are back
That's right
The boys are back
Gonna do it again
Gonna wake up the neighborhood
The boys are back, yeah
The boys are back, all right
Climbing up the walls any time we want
The word is out
The boys are back
The boys are back
Back to save the day
The boys are back
Oh, yeah
Keep coming with the right
Win the fight, every single time
Undefeated here in our house
Yeah
We can rock, we can shock
Any time we like
And tonight we're going all out
It's time to show how
To be a superhero, oh
Just like a showdown
Keep the pedal to the metal
Go!
We're the best, no doubt
Doing it like we used to do
This is our town
And I'm telling you
Oh, look out
The boys are back, hey
- The boys are back
- That's right
The boys are back, gonna do it again
gonna wake up the neighborhood
The boys are back, yeah
- The boys are back
- All right
Climbing up the walls any time we
want, the word is out, the boys are back
Here to change the world
To solve the mystery
Fight the battle
Save the girl
No one
No one can stop us now
We're the ones that make the rules
Oooh!
No, no, no, hey!
No, no, no, no! Hey!
The boys are back
Oh, yeah
The boys are back, hey
the boys are back, that's right
The boys are back
Gonna do it again
Gonna wake up the neighborhood
The boys are back, yeah
The boys are back, all right
Climbing up the walls any time we want
No need to worry, 'cause...
The boys are back
Hey, the boys are back
The boys are back
Gonna do it again
And we make it look good
The boys are back
Yeah, the boys are back
Tearing down the walls
any time we want
I'm sure that you know by now
The boys are back
What are you gonna do
if Juilliard says yes?
- I don't know.
- That's not what I wanted to hear.
I'm getting your butt back
in the gym tomorrow. Got me?
So I can whup your butt?
- Dream on.
- With my eyes closed.
Ohhh!
What's up, man?
Hi, Troy!
I realized I haven't
offered my congratulations.
Oh, thank you.
I'm glad the season's over, so...
I didn't mean basketball, silly!
I meant Gabriella.
- What?
- Her missing the show
is a little disappointing, but being
selected for Stanford's Honors Program,
that is amazing for her
and for East High.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Everyone else does.
The whole school's buzzing.
The honorees spend time with Stanford's
top professors starting next week.
- Next week?
- Look, right there.
You really didn't know?
OK, this is a little awkward.
I guess her not telling you means
that she's on the fence about it.
But who better than Troy Bolton to
encourage her to accept the honor?
Since the only thing possibly
holding her back would be... you.
Well, I'll see you at rehearsal.
Toodles.
Hello?
Hello. Somebody order a pizza pie?
- I didn't order a pizza.
- Special delivery!
Margherita pizza!
Shh.
Just the way you like it.
Let's not forget,
what's a picnic without
chocolate-covered strawberries?
It wouldn't be right.
Do you want the last strawberry?
Hmm...
Come on. This might very well be the
best strawberry in the whole world,
you wouldn't know
because you're not gonna eat it.
Fine, then.
Mmm!
You were right.
So here's the thing.
Your Honors Program at Stanford...
- How did you hear about that?
- A lot of people heard about it.
But I wasn't one of them. Why?
Because I knew what you would say.
Of course you should do
the Honors Program.
Is that what you were trying to tell me?
In the backyard the other day?
One of the things.
What else?
I've been thinking about trying
to talk my mom into staying
in Albuquerque another year.
I'll just take some classes here
and go to Stanford when I'm ready.
You can't just put off something
as amazing as Stanford.
You got to go. It's the right thing.
I always do the right thing. Maybe
I want to be a little crazy this time.
Everything about my life has
always been full speed ahead.
I told you, I wish it
would all just slow down...
...to a stop.
We're going to graduate.
That's going to happen.
Nothing is going to slow down.
I guess my heart just doesn't know
it's in high school.
- Well...
- Shh.
You don't have to say anything else.
I'm a lot better at goodbyes than you.
I've had a ton of practice.
Why are you saying goodbye?
We still have prom.
We still have to graduate.
I meant "good night. "
- You OK?
- Yeah.
- Good night.
- Good night.
I guess I should've known better
To believe that my luck had changed
Oh, I let my heart and forever
Finally learn each other's name
I tell myself this time
it's different
No goodbyes
'cause I can't bear to say it
I'd never survive the one
that's coming
If I stay
Oh, no
Just walk away and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks
it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong
but I can't take that
Before it's too late
Oh, just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Oh, just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Oh, just walk away
I've got to let it go
Start protecting my heart and soul
'Cause I don't think
I'll survive a goodbye again
Not again
Just walk away
Oh, and don't look back
'Cause if my heart breaks
it's gonna hurt so bad
You know I'm strong
but I can't take that
Before it's too late
Oh, oh, oh
Just walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away, yeah
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Walk, walk, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Oh, ohhh
All right, everyone!
Attention, please! Listen up.
As some of you know, Miss Montez
is no longer available to us.
However, the show must indeed go on.
So, Sharpay, you will do
Gabriella's duet with Troy.
Tiara, ready to step in for Sharpay?
Those sparkling shoes
are impossible to fill.
- Don't worry. Kelsi will work with you.
- Hmm.
Come on, people. Let's rise to
the occasion. We're all pros here.
Let's do it for Gabriella. OK?
Kelsi, Troy, Ryan. Play piano.
All right, we have a lot of work to do.
There are sets to paint.
Drill that second number. Let's go!
Come on people, double time!
- Hey.
- Hey.
- It's late.
- Yeah.
Hear from Gabriella?
Yeah.
She's knee-deep in geniuses out there.
Believe it or not, she says
the food's better at East High.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
She still coming down for prom?
Yeah.
How's that big show going?
You don't want to know.
When were you going
to tell me about this?
Juilliard.
There's nothing to tell.
Maybe there is.
I heard you're talking to other schools.
I mean, is this serious?
U of A isn't the only school
that's talked to me. You know that.
But it's the only school
we talked about.
Chad would be disappointed
if you changed your mind.
No, Chad would get over it.
Would you?
We've been going to U of A games
since you were a little kid.
You talked about wearing
a Redhawks uniform.
But I'm not a little kid anymore.
You raised me to make my own choices
and I need to make them.
Not you or Chad or anybody else. Me.
Hey.
Troy, come on. Troy!
The day a door is closed
The echoes fill your soul
They won't say which way to go
Just trust your heart
To find what you're here for
Open another door
But I'm not sure anymore
It's just so hard
Voices in my head
Tell me they know best
Got me on the edge
They're pushing, pushing
They're pushing
I know they've got a plan
But the ball's in my hands
This time it's man to man
I'm driving, fighting inside a
World that's upside down
And spinning faster
What do I do now without you
I don't know where to go
What's the right team?
I want my own thing
So bad I'm going to scream
I can't choose, so confused
What's it all mean?
I want my own dream
So bad I'm going to scream
I'm kicking down the walls
I've gotta make 'em fall
Just break through 'em all
I'm punching, crashing
I'm gonna fight to find
myself, me and no one else
Which way, I can't tell
I'm searching, searching
Can't find the way that I should turn
I should turn right or left
It's like nothing works without you
I don't know where to go
What's the right team?
I want my own thing
So bad I'm gonna scream
I can't choose, so confused
What's it all mean?
I want my own dream
So bad I'm gonna scream
Yeah, the clock's running down
Hear the crowd gettin' loud
I'm consumed by the sound
Is it her, is it love?
Can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out
Gotta work it out
You can do it
You can do it
I don't know where to go
What's the right team?
I want my own thing
So bad I'm gonna scream
I can't choose, so confused
What's it all mean?
I want my own dream
So bad I'm gonna scream
Aaah!
Miss D?
I know I'm not supposed to be here.
Aren't you?
Nor should I be at this hour I suppose,
but I am trying to rebalance a show
in which Sharpay now plays
the role of Miss Montez.
And the reason for your visit is?
I don't know. I think I feel
like this is a good place to...
- Scream? Feel free.
- Or just to think.
The stage can be a wonderful partner
in the process of self-discovery.
You seem comfortable up there.
I do?
Which is why I submitted an application
in your name to Juilliard.
It was you.
Better to consider opportunities now
than in ten years when life
may limit your choices.
If I overstepped, I apologize.
No. No, I'm not mad.
I'm just confused.
What a life in the theater
has taught me is
to trust one's instincts.
And that takes courage.
A quality you don't seem to lack.
Last one out turns off the lights.
So walk, walk, walk. Jump in.
Around the world and spin out.
See? You got it.
- You're easier to dance with than her.
- My turn.
OK. Here we go. From the top.
Walk, walk, walk.
Jump down. Around the world.
Heads up! Heads up!
All right, everyone. Let's just
take five, all right? Take five.
You two. House up.
Hoops Man. Over here.
You look like you're having
the time of your life.
I'm messing up the dances.
I'm messing up all the songs. I'm sorry.
It's all of us.
And all of us pretty much know why.
If it wasn't for Gabriella, this musical
would have been another "Sharpay Show. "
- It'll be fine.
- Yeah.
- Hey, Mama!
- Hi.
Wow.
Gorgeous!
I'd like to take credit,
but Gabriella picked it out.
I ordered that corsage you showed me.
It's going to be perfect.
Thanks, Mom.
- You did good.
- Thank you.
It's Gabriella.
Hey! I just showed my mom the tux.
We need to talk.
I can't be a little adult right now,
Troy. I'm hoping you understand that.
No, don't even say that.
Gabriella. Prom is in two days.
You're supposed to be on a plane now.
It's taking me two weeks to
get used to being away from you.
- From East High and all my friends.
- I know. I know.
So, what, I come back,
go to prom and leave again?
And then it's graduation,
and leave again?
- That was our plan.
- I don't think I can do it, Troy.
I think I've run out of goodbyes.
Why do you keep saying goodbye?
I love you, Wildcat.
But I need to stay
right where I am.
I'm sorry Pay.
She's not coming back, man.
- Is she going to miss prom?
- No, she's not coming back at all.
Wow. That's lousy, man.
It really is.
But, hey, man.
Everybody knows you don't bring
the girl with you after high school.
Look, Sharpay is already
one step ahead. As usual.
Right now you got
to snap out of it, dude.
She's off to Stanford.
And, look, I am right there with you.
Taylor's heading to Yale.
And you and me are going to U of A.
It's a new ball game.
Maybe I don't see my life
as a ball game anymore, man.
Look.
You're gonna go to the prom with us,
be with your friends.
You're gonna have
a good time. All right?
I don't plan on missing my prom.
There we go.
I figured you'd be the last one
out of the building.
I don't believe this.
I took a wrong turn on the way to prom.
So did you.
You are so crazy, Wildcat.
And what is it with you and trees?
I guess I see things
more clearly from up here.
You look handsome.
Prom is tonight in Albuquerque.
It's a thousand miles away.
My prom is wherever you are.
If I'm going to have a last dance
at East High, it's going to be with you.
Take my hand
I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid
Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
- And you can't keep us apart
- Even a thousand miles
Can't keep us apart
'Cause my heart is wherever you are
It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling
The way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
- So can I have this dance?
- Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
- Can I have this dance?
- This dance
Can I have this dance?
You know... I'm not the only one
that changed when you came to East High.
Kids that I used to just pass
in the hallway... we're friends now.
And we're supposed to
be doing a show together.
The problem is, East High
changed when you got there.
And now it's changed again
because you left.
You might be ready
to say goodbye to East High,
but East High's not ready
to say goodbye to you.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the
final call for curtain. Find your seats.
Hey, Mommy and Daddy,
how was Africa? No, I mean India.
Oh, fabulous. The show is starting soon.
You're in the lobby?
OK. Toodles. And I love the roses!
Hey, what's up? We haven't formally met,
but I feel like I know you
in sort of a vibe-y level.
I'm Jimmy "The Rocket" Zara.
"Jimmy The Rocket"?
What are you? A Muppet gangster?
Oh. What is that? Is that
your cologne or a toxic spill?
Oh, yeah. It's called "Babe Magnet. "
Bought it just for the show.
You like it?
Eww! That is so gross.
Hello! Send Troy in to see me.
I need to run the song.
Yo! Dion.
Troy Bolton just sent me a text.
Probably just checking in.
"Been driving all night.
I'll try to make it for the second act.
- Break a leg. "
- "Break a leg"? What does that mean?
Dude, that's show biz
for "you're going on tonight. "
- As Troy?
- Yeah.
- Onstage?
- Yeah.
- Oh, no.
- Get it!
All right. Notify Sharpay. I will
take care of Kelsi and the orchestra.
Hold up, Miss D.
I think he stopped breathing.
Well, then give him the Heimlich!
It's showtime!
- Go get 'em.
- Come on.
- Hello, Mrs. Evans.
- Hello.
- Enjoy the show.
- Thank you.
It's so wonderful, yes.
Seats right here.
Thank you for coming. Enjoy the show.
It's our last chance
to share the stage
Before we go our separate ways
High school wasn't meant
to last forever
It's our last chance for us to shine
To bring you music one more time
So come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
W-I-L-D Wildcats!
You know you're on
W-I-L-D Wildcats!
Come on, come on
East High boys
Let's make some noise
Oh, yeah, W-I-L-D Wildcats!
Now's the time
This is the last time to get it right
This is the last chance
to make it our night
We got to show what we're all about
Work together
This is the last chance
to make our mark
History will know who we are
This is the last game so make
it count, it's now or never
Yeahhh
- Entrée.
Good evening, Miss Evans.
Two minutes till places.
Tell Troy to come up.
I want to rehearse the kissing.
Hasn't anybody told you that Troy...
Go!
I want it all I want it
I want it, I want it
I gotta have my star on the door
I want the world
Nothing less
All the glam and the press
Only giving me the best reviews
I want it all
Want it all, want it all
He's the choreographer.
Kick it, girls
I want it all
Want it all, want it all
Want it all, want it all
We want it all
My band! Thank you!
East High, you're amazing! Good night.
Yeah!
Yeah!
That's my boy!
We have to save something. I'm at
the balcony, don't forget the special.
You forget the special. Where's Troy?
OK, he's around here somewhere.
Oh. Cute pants. Oh.
- You're on.
- Oh.
Ma! Ma!
Oooh
Yeah, yeah
Oooh
Yeah
I got a lot of things I have to do
All these distractions
Our future's coming soon
We're being pulled
a hundred different directions
Focus, Jimmy. Come on, man.
You're on my mind
You're in my heart
It doesn't matter where we are
We'll be all right
Even if we're miles apart
Even if we're miles apart
Even if we're miles
and miles and miles apart
I think we have a problem.
All I wanna do
Is be with you
Be with you
There's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
And no matter where life takes us
Nothing can break us apart
- I just wanna be with...
- Eww.
You
Yeah!
Thank you very much.
- You rule!
- Best crowd I've ever had.
Hey!
Perfect. Go for it.
Save the day. Whoopee!
What?
You guys got to see this.
No, you guys are awesome.
Thank you.
- They're here!
- Kels!
- Let's go! You're on!
- Oh, man. Hey!
That's my dress!
I had one made just like it.
Only better.
I'm playing Sharpay, remember?
You're not a singer.
You're a London schoolgirl.
Yes. London Academy of Dramatic Arts.
I took the job with you to learn
the ropes at East High. Now I have.
Now, step aside. I need to warm up
and give a good first impression.
Since it will be
my drama department next year.
But you were so loyal. So sweet.
That's called acting.
You should try it sometime.
Toodles.
You know how life
can be, it changes overnight
It's sunny then raining
but it's all right
A friend like you
Always makes it easy
I know that you get me
Every time
Through every up, through every down
You know I'll always be around
Through anything you can count on me
All I wanna do
- That is Troy Bolton.
- Is be with you
Be with you
There's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us
Nothing can break us apart
You know it's true
I just wanna be with you
You
I just wanna be with you
The sun will always shine
That's how you make me feel
We're gonna be all right
'Cause what we have is real
And we will always be together
All I wanna do
Is be with you
Be with you
There's nothing we can't do
Just wanna be with you
Only you
No matter where life takes us
Nothing can break us apart
You know it's true
I just wanna be with you
All I wanna do
All that I wanna do is be with you
All that I wanna do is be with you
All that I wanna do is be with you
All that I wanna do
I just wanna be with you
Sharpay Evans, I believe
you're in the wrong costume.
Who's that girl?
She's so fine
Who's that girl?
I don't recognize
Who's that girl?
She looks so good, yeah
Guess you never really noticed
but you probably should
Big fun
On the night of nights
The night of nights
Tonight
Let's dance
On the night of nights
You know we're gonna do it right
- It's gonna be our night
- You know it
- To remember
- For all time
- Surprise.
- Big fun
- It's gonna be the night
- We love it
- To last forever
- The rest of our lives
We'll never ever ever forget
It's gonna be...
- My night
- Oh, yeah
- All together
- Say it loud
Come on now
Everyone, that's right
- It's gonna be a night
- You can bet
- To remember
- Hear the crowd
And never ever ever
Never ever ever
Never ever never
ever ever forget
- Thank you so much.
- It was such a great show.
See them out, please. Thank you.
Together, together
Together, everyone
Together, together, come on
Let's have some fun
Ladies and gentlemen! Our seniors!
Kelsi Nielsen, the Juilliard
School Scholarship Recipient.
Music.
Jason Cross.
You did it. You graduated.
Whoo hoo hoo!
Taylor McKessie, Yale University,
with honors, Political Science.
And I am pleased to announce that due
to the excellence
displayed here this evening,
the Juilliard School has made
an extraordinary decision.
Another senior is being offered
a Juilliard scholarship.
Congratulations,
Mr. Ryan Evans, Choreography.
And congratulations, Miss Sharpay Evans.
University of Albuquerque,
Performing Arts.
Miss Evans has agreed
to return to East High next fall
to assist me in running
the Drama Department.
And now a senior who I believe
has a decision to make.
Mr. Troy Bolton. Troy.
I've chosen basketball.
But I've also chosen theater.
The University of California,
Berkeley, offers me both.
That's where I'm going
to be attending next fall.
But most of all, I choose the
person who inspires my heart.
Which is why I picked
a school that's exactly 32.7...
...miles from you.
Miss Gabriella Montez,
Stanford University, Pre-Law.
Next, Mr. Chad Danforth.
University of Albuquerque,
Basketball Scholarship!
He's gone.
Mr. Danforth.
He goes up for the shot and it's good!
East High Wildcat victory
for the record books!
Once they hand us that diploma,
we're done here?
What makes you think
we're getting diplomas?
One question: does Berkeley play?
Oh, yeah. We're scheduled to kick
some Redhawk butt next November.
Game on, Hoops.
Yeah.
Oh! One more steal. The final point.
Danforth! Bolton!
You get out there and you get onstage!
I never thought I'd hear
my dad say that.
We're all in this together
Once we know
That we are
We're all stars
And we see that
East High is a place where teachers
encouraged us to break the status quo.
And define ourselves as we choose.
Where a jock can cook up
a mean crème brûlée.
And the brainiac can break down
on the dance floor.
It's a place where one person...
if it's the right person...
...changes us all.
East High is having friends that
we'll keep for the rest of our lives.
And I guess that means
we really are all in this together.
Because once a Wildcat...
...always a Wildcat.
- Yeah, man.
- Thank you!
Thank you, sir.
Thank you very much.
Looking forward from center stage
to graduation day
Time to get the future started
What we leave what we take
with us no matter what
It's something we're a part of
we learned to fly
Together side by side
I just hope the rest of my life
Will feel as good as my
High School Musical
Who says we have to let it go?
It's the best part we've ever known
Step into the future
But hold on to
High School Musical
Let's celebrate where we come from
The friends who've been there
all along, just like
A High School Musical
Improvisation without
a script, no one's written it
And now we have the chance to
But some day we'll be looking back
memories we'll have
All the songs that we lived through
The best of times
So why leave them behind
Why can't the rest of my life
Be like my
High School Musical?
Who says we have to let it go?
It's the best part we've ever known
Step into the future
But hold on to
High School Musical
Let's celebrate where we come from
The friends who've been there
all along, that's right
Now we finally realize
Who we are
It just took some time
We had to live
and to learn to see the truth
Learn to see the truth
That nothing's ever impossible
into the future we all free fall
But forever
we'll always have high school
Time to party now
Celebrate
Because the world's one big stage
Any part you want can be yours
Everybody sing
But the show is never going to close
It's what got us here, we know
High school lives on forever more

We forgot our pants.
