... and the First-Aid Club will be waiting for them down in the parking lot below. All for now, Peeps.
answer
"But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she." Thank you... thank you very much. Well once again they forgot to announce the auditions for the winter musical, Juliet and Romeo, written by our very own Kelsi Neilson. Kelsi, stand up and take a bow.
question
(Kelsi sinks lower in her chair and hides her head behind a book. One hand rises tentatively to accept the very tepid applause from the class.)
answer
It's a delicious neo-feminist adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tragedy of star-crossed lovers... with three - count 'em three - tap numbers! By thinking outside the box, Kelsi has brilliantly swapped out a tragic ending with a happy ending, in which the two lovers both live... and move to Albuquerque! It's simply bursting with sword fights, meddling parents and teenagers caught in the grip of forbidden love. *If you kids can't relate to THAT, I'll eat my gong. (Dilly) Now, there'll be single auditions for the supporting roles and chorus, as well as pair auditions for our two leads.
question
*Mr. Danforth, this is a place of learning, not a football court. (Dilly)
answer
Save your bilabial fricatives for someone of your own primitive esthetic. This year, as always, the Drama Club faces a dearth of male participants, so please come in and audition. I'm offering you the chance to spread your wings into bold new horizons. I'm offering you the timeless allure of the greasepaint, the magical power of the Klieg light!
question
*All right - I'm offering you extra credit. (Dilly)
answer
(A cell phone starts a wild musical ring.) Ah, the dreaded cell phone symphony returns to our crucible of learning! Sharpay and Ryan Evans, your phones please, and I'll see you in detention. We have zero tolerance for cell phones during class. So, we'll get to know each other at detention. Phone, please... and welcome to East High, Miss Montez.
question
(Notices Troy's phone.)
answer
*Mr. Bolton, I see your phone is involved. Splendid. We'll see you in detention as well. (Dilly)
question
-your honor, sir... because we have basketball practice after school and Troy is-
answer
*That's thirty five minutes for you, too, Mr. Danforth, count 'em! (Dilly)
question
That could be tough for Chad, since he probably can't count that high.
answer
Taylor and Tiffany, thirty-five minutes.
question
But I've never had detention in my life!
answer
Well then, Happy New Year!
question
*This ain't my first time at the rodeo, kiddies! Shall the carnage continue? (Dilly)
answer
Ah, saved by the bell. You may collect your phones after detention. Have a wonderful day.
question
(Detention. Ms. Darbus stands in the center of the Students gathered around her on the stage.)
answer
Yes, my brave little detention menagerie, we thespians often use animals to help us build the characters we play. Be the bear! Be the ostrich! Be the monkey! You're all doing brilliantly! *Chum chum chum now, explore... Wait wait wait- Ryan, do you want to be an ostrich? (Dilly)
question
It's okay... ostriches are cool, I guess.
answer
For Sharpay, maybe, but what about you?
question
Me?
answer
Yes, unless you want to live the rest of your life in the shadow of your sister's ostrich...
question
Maybe not yet, my friend, but just wait!
answer
Lovely work, all of you. James, I had no idea an earthworm could have such depth, such pain. *Now, gather in a circle for our last little exposure to the magic that is theatre. (Dilly)
question
(The Students circle around her)
answer
This is called the Ball of Noise. The idea is to pass around an invisible ball, while making some kind of sound to go with it. Once passed to the next person, the ball can land in any part of the body. You are limited only by your imaginations. I'll start. *Do whatever you feel, Troy. There are no wrong answers. Remember, you're only limited by your own imagination. Now go!
question
*Wonderful, Troy. (Dilly)
answer
Everyone else, help him before the ball crushes him under its weight!
question
*It's called a Ball of Noise, Coach Bolton. (Dilly)
answer
I run my detention my way; you can run yours your way. These students need to be exposed to the arts by any means necessary.
question
You two, into the gym, right now.
answer
*Detention is over for today. (Dilly) You've all done wonderfully. It was an honor and a privilege watching you risk, risk, risk. I expect to see some of you tomorrow afternoon at the auditions. Please remember to be on time. Scoot, now. You may collect your phones.
question
- you can't have them acting like idiots when they should be at practice!
answer
They were not acting like idiots, they were acting like actors! If Troy and Chad were theatre performers instead of athletes, would you seek preferential treatment for them? I think not.
question
Darbus, we are days away from the biggest game of the year.
answer
*GASP* And we in the midst of auditions for our winter musical. *This school is about more than sweaty young men in baggy shorts flinging balls for buckets. (Dilly)
question
The West High Knights have knocked us out of the playoffs for three years.
answer
Yes, and despite your consistent track record of defeat, the school board still sees fit to allocate ten times the amount of money for school athletics as it does for the arts program.
question
... about teamwork, something they can use as adults.
answer
Which is precisely what I am trying to instill in them.
question
How, by making them scream at the top of their lungs?!
answer
*Philistine! (Dilly)
question
*SONG* "You were always there beside me"
answer
Such improvement from last year, James. Now don't be shy... Who's next?
question
"You were always there besides me"
answer
That's lovely, Susan. Such emotion, such... hum.. Joie de vivre! Next!
question
"But you were always there beside me"
answer
What an innovative choice of tempo! Next!
question
"But you were always there beside me"
answer
Elen, I admire your pluck, but not as much as I admire those shoes. You simply must design our costumes! Next!
question
"This feeling's like no other"
answer
Brava!
question
"I want you to know!"
answer
Next!
question
"It's hard to believe"
answer
Delightful!
question
"That I couldn't see"
answer
Delicious!
question
"You were always there beside me"
answer
Delovely! Such vision, such risking!
question
"Till we reach the top! Bop to the top!"
answer
Well, people, that was simply brilliant. You've given me hope for the future of the American theatre, you truly have. Now for the lead roles of Juliet and Romeo, we have... *Only one pair signed up.* Is that right? Oh, well... Ryan and Sharpay, show us your stuff.
question
"No, us!" *END SONG*
answer
Ryan, Sharpay, very slick, very polished. You might want to work on some... Oh, I don't know... Some warmth?
question
(The thespians start to pack up)
answer
Well, my dears, it seems as if we are out of time. Any last minute sign-ups for Juliet? Romeo? Anyone? Pretty please? This is your last chance. Going once, going twice... anyone at all? No? Oh, well, then I suppose we're done for today. You were all incredible. Watch the bulletin board for callbacks, which will be held sometime next week.
question
I'd like to audition, Ms. Darbus.
answer
*Oh, I'm so sorry, my dear, but timing means everything in the world of theatre.* (Dilly)
question
But I-
answer
I'm afraid the individual auditions are long over. And well, there is no one to sing with you for the lead parts.
question
- I mean, I'll sing with her.
answer
*Troy Bolton?* Where's your sport posse... Or whatever it's called?
question
Actually... I'm here to sing with her.
answer
Yes, well... I treat these shows just as seriously as your father treats his basketball practices. I called for the Juliet and Romeo auditions, and you didn't respond. I am very sorry, but now we've simply run out of time. *You're out of luck, Jack.* (Dilly)
question
"What I've been looking for" *END SONG*
answer
Keep your eyes shut, Troy.
question
Ms. Darbus!
answer
*Close 'em, I said!* (Dilly) Now, don't think... Just say the first thing that comes to mind. How does it feel?
question
Like I'm soaring through the sky like a bird or something.
answer
*Anything's possible in the theatre, Troy* (Dilly) You can be whoever you want to be. There's not a star in heaven you can't reach, but you have to allow yourself to risk. That's true for the both of you, Ms. Montez. Oh, by the way, you can open your eyes now, Troy... We're not doing "Spider-Man Turn-Off The Dark" you know.
question
Like it's exactly what I heard in my head.
answer
Bolton, Montez, you've got yourselves a callback. Kelsi, finish the finale... and work on it with them.
question
And where is Bolton? That was an open question. I said-
answer
*How dare you?!* (Dilly)
question
What?
answer
In all our years in the theatre, never have we encountered such childish, small-minded subterfuge!
question
Huh?
answer
Your pathetic male ego is bent all out of shape because I put your stars in detention, so now you're getting even?
question
What are to talking about, Darbus?
answer
Don't play dumb with me, Bolton.
question
I'm not playing!
answer
Some very reliable sources told me all about your little plot to humiliate me and the Drama Club, *and I am telling you it ain't gonna fly!* (Dilly)
question
Save the speeches for the stage.
answer
If you and your all-star son are planning some kind of practical joke in my chapel of the arts-
question
Troy doesn't even sing.
answer
I guess you don't know your own son as well as you think you do. But I won't allow Juliet and Romeo to be made into a farce-
question
Juliet and Romeo?
answer
See! I knew it! Very well, Bolton, you leave me no choice: If Troy is actually serious about auditioning, he's going to have to prove it. I won't allow either one of you to make fools out of the Drama Club.
question
Hey, you don't need my help to do that!
answer
*And you, mister "I'm soaring, I'm flying"* (Dilly)
question
Hi, Ms. Darbus... Ms. Dilly.
answer
(Hurt) I thought you were genuine, Troy. Wrong again, I guess.
question
Go Drama Club!
answer
Fasten your seatbelts, kiddies... It's going to be a bumpy ride!
question
... as the red-hot East High Wildcats take the court, led by team captain Troy Bolton.
answer
Ladies and gentlemen, let the callbacks begin!
question
Buy me a Coke. After you get the lead. Run!
answer
Sharpay and Ryan, well done! Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez? Troy... Gabriella? Yoooo hooo? Well, it would seem you were right, Sharpay.
question
See?
answer
Unfortunately, I do.
question
Please, just two more minutes. I'll go look for them-
answer
I'm sorry, Kelsi, but just like in theatre, our lives are defined by our choices. Troy and Gabriella have clearly chosen not to audition. Congratulations to all. The cast list will be posted.
question
Ms. Darbus! We're here!
answer
I called your names. Twice. Where were you?
question
Give us a chance, please, Ms. Darbus.
answer
A chance for what, Troy? To make a joke out of something that means the world to me and to your fellow classmates who came to audition?
question
Please, we only have a few more minutes until the lights come back on.
answer
What's this? A full house?!
question
Shut up!
answer
Is he telling the truth? Did you abuse the presidential privilege and knowingly lie to me?
question
I didn't lie... I improvised... a little.
answer
We'll talk about this later, Ms. Evans. Right now, off the stage!
question
But I-
answer
Off the stage!!!
question
It's all yours, Ms. Darbus.
answer
Troy and Gabriella, you may start your callback.
question
Oh, yes, I really do! Ready on stage!
answer
Now... That's showbiz!
question
And the Wildcats win!
answer
Troy, you were simply brilliant.
question
I almost forgot the words.
answer
I mean your foul shots! Brilliant. Your son sure can shoot the hoops.
question
"We're soaring, flying-"
answer
No, seriously, where does he get it from?
