High School Musical 3: Senior Year Page #6

Synopsis: Troy and the gang of East High School are going through their senior year, facing graduating and going their separate ways. Coming to terms with the reality of it all, Troy wants to attend the nearby University of Albuquerque next year on a basketball scholarship, but Gabriella wants to attend Stanford University in California. Meanwhile, Sharpay, the school's shallow and spoiled rich girl, plots to go all out planning the school's final musical show with the idea to add music to her hopes and fears about the future. While Sharpay takes an up-and-coming British exchange student under her wing, her flamboyant fraternal twin brother, Ryan, has his sights set on something different after school. In addition, Troy's best friend and basketball teammate Chad, and Garbiella's best friend Taylor, all have their sights set on their plans after high school and come to terms with the reality of the real world.

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.
