Quotes 

• Ms. Darbus : That'll be 15 minutes for you as well, Mr. Danforth. Count 'em!

  Taylor : That might be difficult for Chad, since he probably can't count that high.

• Chad : [Looks at the three watches he has on his wrist]  Okay, so, my watch is 7:45 Mountain Standard Time. Are we synced?

  Taylor : Whatever.

  Chad : All right. Then we're on a go mode for lunch period. Exactly 12:05.

  Taylor : Yes, Chad. We're a go.

  [Waves her hand in front of his face] 

  Taylor : But we're not Charlie's Angels, okay?

  Chad : I can dream, can't I?

• Troy Bolton : [Unaware that he's being watched by Gabriella]  You're my guys and this is our team. Gabriella is not important. I'll forget about her. I'll forget the audition and we'll go out and get that champion for the team. Everybody happy now?

  Taylor : Behold lunkhead basketball man.

• Troy Bolton : Callbacks the same day as the game?

  Gabrilla Montez : And the scholastic decathlon!

  Taylor : Why would they do this?

  Chad : I smell a rat named Darbus...

  Kelsi : Actually, I think it's two rats, neither of them named Darbus.

  Chad : Do you know something about this... small person?

  Kelsi : [sighs]  Miss Darbus might think she's protecting the show, but Ryan and Sharpay are pretty much only concerned with protecting *themselves*.

  Chad : Do you know what I'm gonna do to those two overmoussed showdogs?

  Troy Bolton : Nothing. We're not gonna do anything to them. Except sing... maybe. All right. Now this is only going to happen; if we all work together... Now who's in?

  [Everyone joins hands] 

• Taylor : The answer is yes!

  Gabrilla Montez : Huh?

  Taylor : Our Scholastic Decathlon team has its first competition next week and there is certainly a spot for you!

  Gabrilla Montez : Where did those come from?

  Taylor : Didn't you put them in my locker?

  Gabrilla Montez : Of course not...

  Taylor : Well, we'd love to have you on the team! We meet almost everyday after school. Please?

  Gabrilla Montez : I need to catch up on the curriculum here first before I think about joining any clubs.

  Sharpay : [walking over]  Well, what a perfect way to get caught up. Meeting with the smartest kids in school! What a generous offer, Taylor!

• Gabrilla Montez : How well do you know Troy Bolton?

  Taylor : Troy? Well, I don't consider myself an expert on that particular sub-species. But, unless you know how to speak cheerleader, as in...

  [walks up to a group of cheerleaders] 

  Taylor : "Ohmygosh, isn't Troy Bolton just the hottie superbomb?"

  [cheerleaders swoon over Troy] 

  Taylor : See what I mean?

  Gabrilla Montez : [laughs]  I guess I don't know how to speak cheerleader!

  Taylor : Which is why we exist in an alternate universe from Troy the basketball boy.

• Gabrilla Montez : Did you ever feel like there was a whole other person inside you just looking for a way to come out?

  Taylor : No. Not really.

• Chad : So, you're coming with me to the after-party, right?

  Taylor : As in, like, a date?

  Chad : Must be your lucky day.

• Taylor : [the basketball team walks past cheering. To her brainy friends]  Ugh, behold the zoo animals heralding in the new year. How tribal.

• Gabrilla Montez : Why is everybody staring at you?

  Taylor : Not me, you.

  Gabrilla Montez : Because of the callbacks? I can't have people staring at me. I really can't.
