High School Musical script

Happy New Year's, ladies.

Gabby, it's New Year's Eve. Enough reading.

But, Mom, I'm almost done.

The teen party? I've laid out your best clothes. Come get ready.

Can I have my book back?

- Thank you. - Come on.

Keep working left, Troy.

Got a guard in the championship game we're expectin'. You'll torch 'em!

- Am I going left? - Yeah.

- He looks middle, you take it downtown. - OK, like this?

Whoo! That's it, man. Sweet. Let's see that in the game.

- Boys? - Don't worry about me.

Did we really fly all this way to play more basketball?

Yeah.

It's the last night of vacation.

The party, remember?

Right, the party. The party. New Year's Eve.

Troy, they have a kid's party downstairs in the Freestyle club.

- Kid's party? - Young adults. Now go, shower up.

Come on. One more.

- Last one. - Real quick.

There we go. That's the way to end it.

Howdy, ma'am.

All right! How about that for a couple of snowboarders?

- Yeah! - Hey!

Who's gonna rock the house next?

Huh?

Ha-ha! Ho-ho!

I can't sing. No, you go.

And you! Yeah, come on.

Look, I don't sing. I can't sing. No, guys...

Get up there!

Hey, you know what? Someday you guys might thank me for this.

Or not.

# The start of something new

- Troy. - Gabriella.

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.

9, 8, 7...

...6, 5, 4...

...3, 2, 1!

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.

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?

Gabriella.

# 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.

- What team? - Wildcats!

- What team? - Wildcats!

Ooh! Whoo-hoo!

Ooh!

The ice princess returned from the North Pole.

She spent the holidays the way she always does.

- How's that? - Shopping for mirrors.

Ooh!

Ugh, behold the zoo animals heralding the new year. How tribal.

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 Gabriella.

This way.

Troy! Troy! Hey!

How's it goin'? 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.

Ooh!

- Hi, Troy. - Hi.

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.

Ah, the cell phone menace has returned to our crucible of learning.

- Is it your phone? - Sharpay 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 Montez. 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.

Shall the carnage continue? Holidays are over, people.

Way over! Now, any more comments, questions?

- Jason. - How were your holidays, Miss Darbus?

What?

- 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 \

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.

- Sharpay'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!

# Coach said to fake right and break left

# Watch out for the pick and keep an eye on defense

# Gotta run the give and go and take the ball to the hole

# And don't be afraid to shoot the outside \

# Just keep your head in the game Just keep your head in the game

# And don't be afraid to shoot the outside \

# 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, 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

# Whoo!

# 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, get your, get your head in the game

# I gotta get my, get my head in the game

# You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game, whoo

# 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, get my head in the game

# You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game

# I gotta get my, get my head in the game

# You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game

# You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game

# I gotta get my, get my head in the game

# You gotta get your, get your, get your, get your head in the game

# Whoo!

- What team? - Wildcats!

- What team? - Wildcats!

- What team? - Wildcats!

- Wildcats! - Get your head in the game!

So, it seemed like you knew Troy Bolton.

Not really. He was just showing me around.

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?

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 Gabriella'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.

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?! - Detention.

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!

West High Knights have knocked us out of the playoffs 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 help my 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, 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.

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? - Just hanging out?

- Good to see you. - What's he doing?

How's it going, man?

Short-cut.

I'm late for class.

That's good, just leave it here.

This is where the true expression of the artist is realized.

Where inner truth is revealed through the actor's journey...

- 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?

# 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!

# 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!

# 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.

#... so lonely before I finally found

# What I've been looking...

#... for

Ah... Cindra.

What courage to pursue a note that has not been accessed in the natural world.

Bravo! Brava!

Perhaps the spring musicale.

- # 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

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.

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.

Sharpay 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. Go!

# 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

# 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.

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...

If we 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, Sharpay.

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 Sharpay 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 Sharpay?

- 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, Montez - 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?

Callback?! Aah!

\

Ryan and Sharpay Evans, Gabriella Montez 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?

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!
