"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."

"(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."

"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."

"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."
