High School Musical Page #3

l'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,

l'm not an expert

on that particular sub-species,

however, unless you speak cheerleader,

as in, ''Oh, my gosh! lsn't Troy Bolton

just the hottie super-bum?''

Oh, he's so beautiful,

- See what l mean?

- l 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,

- lt 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,

l 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,

Just something for you,

l expect we all learned our homeroom

manners yesterday, people, correct?

lf 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,

l 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?

l can't make it,

l gotta catch up on some homework,

What? Hello, it's only the second day back,

l'm not even behind on homework yet,

And l've been behind on homework

since preschool,

That's hilarious,

l'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,

l'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?

- ls 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 l 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?

lt's hard

to believe that l couldn't see

That you were always right beside me

This feeling like no other

l want you to know

Uh-huh, Yes, thank you, Next!

lt's hard to believe

That l couldn't sneeze... see

That you were always right there

next to beside me

Alan, l admire your pluck,

- As to your singing...

- ...like no other

That's a wonderful tie

you're wearing, Next!

lt's hard to believe

that l couldn't see

That you were always there beside me

This feeling's like no other

l want you to know

Uh... stop,

so lonely before l finally found

What l'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,

- lt's hard to believe that l could not see

- Can't see

- That you were right beside me

- Beside me

- Thought l 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! l'm not afraid, l...

- l'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,

l 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!

b"What I've Been Looking For"/b

lt's hard to believe that l couldn't see

You were always there beside me

Thought l was alone with no one to hold

But you were always right beside me

- This feeling's like no other

- l want you to know

l've never had someone

that knows me like you do

The way you do

l've never had someone

as good for me as you

No one like you

So lonely before l finally found

What l've been looking for

So good to be seen,

so good to be heard

Don't have to say a word

For so long l was lost,

so good to be found

l'm lovin' having you around

This feeling's like no other

l want you to know

l've never had someone

that knows me like you do

The way you do

l've never had someone

as good for me as you

No one like you

So lonely before l finally found

What l'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

l told you not to do the jazz squares,

lt'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, lt needs fans too,

Buy tickets!

Oh, actually,

if you do the part with that particular

song, l imagined it much slow...

lf we do the part?

Kelsi, my sawed-off Sondheim,

l've been in 17 school productions,

How many of your

compositions have been selected?

- This would be the first,

- Which tells us what?

- That l need to write you more solos?

- No, lt 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, l mean, Sharpay,

Nice talking to you,

Any last-minute sign-ups?

- We should go,

- No? Good, Done,

l'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,

l'll sing with her,

Troy Bolton? Where is your sports posse

or whatever it's called?

- Team,

- Ah,

But l'm here alone,

Actually, l'm here to sing with her,

Yes, well, we take these shows very

seriously here at East High,

l called for the pairs audition,

and you didn't respond,

Free period is now over,
