High School Musical Page #6

- 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,

l 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,

lt'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...?

l'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 l'll put

a 110% of my guts into that game,

then you don't know me,

- But we just thought...

- l'll tell you what l thought,

l thought that you're my friends,

Win together, lose together, teammates,

- But suddenly the girl... and the singing,

- Man, l'm for the team!

l've always been for the team,

She's just someone l 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,

Did you wanna grab some lunch?

Well, we'll be there if you wanna come,

- Wildcats!

- Get your head in the game!

Whoo!

- Let's go!

- Go, Wildcats!

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 get it going' on

Wildcats in the house

everybody sing out

Wildcats everywhere,

wave your hands up in the air...

b"When There Was Me And You"/b

lt's funny when you find yourself

Looking from the outside

l'm standing here but all l want

is to be over there

Why did l let myself believe

Miracles could happen?

'Cause now l have to pretend

that l don't really care

l thought you were my fairy tale

A dream when l'm not sleeping

A wish upon a star that's coming true

But everybody else could tell

That l confused my feelings with the truth

When there was me and you

l swore l knew the melody

that l heard you singing

And when you smiled you made me feel

like l could sing along

But then you went

and changed the words

Now my heart is empty

l'm only left with used-to-bes

and once upon a song

Now l know your not a fairy tale

And dreams were meant for sleeping

And wishes on a star

just don't come true

'Cause now even l can tell

That l confused my feelings with the truth

'Cause l liked the view

When there was me and you

l can't believe

that l could be so blind

lt's like you were floating

while l was falling

And l didn't mind

Because l liked the view, ooh

ooh, ooh, ooh

l thought you felt it too

When there was me and you

Hey, how you doin'?

l wanna talk to you about something,

And here it is:
l know what it's like

to carry a load with your friends,

l get it, You've got your boys, Troy,

lt's OK, So we're good,

Good about what?

l wanna talk about the final callbacks,

l don't wanna do the callbacks either,

Who are we trying to kid?

You've got your team and l've got mine,

l'll do the scholastic decathlon

and you'll win the championships,

lt's where we belong,

- Go, Wildcats,

- But l...

Me neither,

Gabriella?

Go Wildcats!

Hey, Captain!

- What's with Troy?

- Don't worry about it,

Oh, hey!

- Troy! Hey,

- Hey, Troy!

Hey, um...

We just had another team meeting,

Oh... wonderful,

We had a team meeting about how

we haven't been acting like a team,

l mean us, not you,

- About the singing thing...

- l don't even wanna talk about it,

We just want you to know

that we're gonna be there,

- Cheering for you,

- Huh?

lf singing is what you wanna do,

we should boost you up,

not tear you down,

Yeah, Win or lose, we're teammates,

That's what we're about, Even if you turn

out to be the worst singer in the world,

Which we don't know, because we

haven't heard you sing,

You're not gonna hear me sing, guys,

Because Gabriella won't even talk to me...

...and l don't know why,

We do,

l baked these fresh today,

You'll probably want to try one

before we tell you the rest,

Gabriella, we were jerks,

No, we were worse than jerks

because we were mean jerks,

We thought Troy

and the whole singing thing was

killing our chances of having you

on the scholastic decathlon team,

l heard what he had to say,

l'm on your team now, Done,

No, not done,

We knew that Chad could get

Troy to say things

to make you want to

forget about the callbacks,

We planned it,

and we're embarrassed and sorry,

No one forced Troy to say anything,

And you know what? lt'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,

We tried,

Hi, uh... Just came to say l'm sorry,

- Hi, Miss Montez, l'm Troy Bolton,

- Oh, Troy!

No,

Um... Gabriella is kind of busy with

homework, so now's not a good time,

l made a mistake, Miss Montez, and l

would really like to let Gabriella know that,

- Could you tell her l came by to see her?

- l will... Troy,

- Good night,

- Good night, Thank you,

- Hello?

- What you heard, none of that is true,

l was sick of my friends riding me,

so l said things to shut them up,

l didn't mean any of it,

You sounded pretty convincing to me.

The guy you met on vacation is more me

than the guy who said those stupid things,

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.

They let me down.
