High School Musical 3: Senior Year Page #7

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.

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.

Gabriella.

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, Gabriella 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 #

Entre.

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.
