• Gabrilla Montez : [about singing previously]  Well, you sound like you've done a lot of singing, too.

  Troy Bolton : Yeah, my showerhead is very impressed with me.

• Gabrilla Montez : When I was singing with you, I felt like just a girl.

  Troy Bolton : You even look like one too!

• Gabrilla Montez : Do you remember in kindergarten how you'd meet a kid and know nothing about them, then 10 seconds later you're playing like you're best friends, because you didn't have to be anything but yourself?

  Troy Bolton : Yeah.

  Gabrilla Montez : Singing with you felt like that.

• Troy Bolton : Whoa, don't tell me you're good at hoops too.

  Gabrilla Montez : You know, I once scored 41 points on a league game.

  Troy Bolton : [looks at her, astonished]  No way.

  Gabrilla Montez : Mmhmm. Yeah, and on the same day I invented the space shuttle and microwave popcorn.

  Troy Bolton : [grins wildly as he realizes she tricked him]  Ah, microwave popcorn. Haha, very funny.

• Chad : Look, you're a hoops dude. Not a musical singer person. Have you ever seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box?

  Troy Bolton : Who's Michael Crawford?

  Chad : Exactly my point. He was the "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. Now my mom, she's seen that musical 27 times and she put Michael Crawford's picture in our refrigerator. Not on it. IN it. So my point is, if you play basketball, you'll end up on the cereal box. If you sing in musicals, you'll end up in my mom's refrigerator.

  Troy Bolton : Why would she put his picture in your refrigerator?

  Chad : I don't know, one of her crazy diet ideas. Look, I don't attempt to understand the female mind, Troy.

  Chad : [Miss Fallstaff, the librarian, appears]  It's frightening territory.

  [Troy sits down at a table and takes out a pencil and a piece of paper] 

  Chad : How can you expect the rest of us to be focused on a game when you're off somewhere in leotards singing 'Twinkle Town'...

  Troy Bolton : [cutting off Chad]  No one said *anything* about leotards.

  Chad : Not yet my friend, but just you wait.

  Troy Bolton : [Gives Chad a really weirded out look] 

  Chad : [Miss Fallstaff appears]  I tried to tell him, Miss Falstaff. I really did.

  Troy Bolton : [Looks like he's thinking] 

• Ms. Darbus : [She is denying Troy and Gabriella the chance to perform their song, as she called their names twice and they didn't respond. She sees everyone from the basketball game and scholastic decathlon filing into the theater to watch them sing]  I... don't know what's going on here, but in any event, it is far too late, and we have not got a pianist.

  Ryan Evans : [Smugly]  Well, that's show biz.

  Troy Bolton : We'll sing without a piano.

  Kelsi : [Runs back onstage]  Oh no you won't. Pianist here, Ms. Darbus.

  Sharpay Evans : You *really* don't want to do that.

  Kelsi : [Steps up to Sharpay]  Oh yes, I *really* do.

  [Runs back to the piano] 

  Kelsi : Ready on stage!

  Sharpay Evans : [Shocked]  Oh!

  Ms. Darbus : [Impressed]  Now *that's* show biz!

• Troy Bolton : Sharpay's kinda cute too.

  Chad : Yeah, so is a mountain lion, but you don't pet it.

• Gabrilla Montez : [music starts playing for "Breaking Free"]  I can't do this, Troy. Not with everyone staring at me...

  Troy Bolton : Hey, hey, hey. Look at me- right at me. Like the first time together, remember...

  [Gabriella nods] 

  Troy Bolton : Like kindergarten.

• Jack Bolton : [in denial about the fact Troy wants to sing]  You're the playmaker... not a singer... right?

  Troy Bolton : Did you ever think that maybe I could be both?

  [drops basketball and leaves, passing his surprised father and friends] 

• 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] 

• Gabrilla Montez : In my other schools, I was the freaky math girl. It's cool coming here and being... whoever I wanna be. So, you wanna do the callbacks?

  Troy Bolton : Hey, just call me freaky callback boy!

• Troy Bolton : [faking excitement after the Scholastic Decathalon reveals their 'surprise' for the basketball team]  Oh... an equation.

• Troy Bolton : Hey! How how you doing?

  [Gabriella ignores him] 

  Troy Bolton : Well, listen, there's something I want to talk to you about.

  Gabrilla Montez : [interrupts Troy]  and here it is. I know what it's like to carry a load with your friends. I get it. You've got your boys, Troy. It's okay. So we're good.

  Troy Bolton : [looking confused]  Good about what? I was gonna talk to you about the final callbacks.

  Gabrilla Montez : I don't wanna do the callbacks either. I mean who are we trying to kid? You've got your team and now I've got mine. I'll do the scholastic decathlon and you win the championships. It's where we belong.

  [pulling something out of her locker] 

  Gabrilla Montez : Go Wildcats.

  Troy Bolton : [still confused]  But I...

  Gabrilla Montez : [cuts him off]  Me neither.

  [walks away] 

  Troy Bolton : [even more confused than before]  Gabriella?

• Mrs. Bolton : Did we really fly all this way just to play more basketball?

  Jack Bolton , Troy Bolton : Yeah.

• Gabrilla Montez : The Wildcats' superstar is... afraid?

  Troy Bolton : No, no, I'm not afraid. I'm just... scared.

• Troy Bolton : What's up?

  Chad : What's up? Oh let's see, um, you miss free period workout yesterday to audition for some heinous musical, and now suddenly people are confessing. Yeah, Zeke, Zeke is baking. Crème brûlée.

  Troy Bolton : Oh. What's that?

  Zeke : Oh, it's a creamy custard-like filling with a caramelized surface, it's really satisfying.

  Troy Bolton : Oh, cool.

  Zeke : Shut *up*, Zeke!

• Troy Bolton : So dude, you know that school musical thing? Umm, is it true you get extra credit just for auditioning?

  Chad : Who cares?

  Troy Bolton : You know it's always good to get extra credit, for... college.

  Chad : Do you ever think Lebron James or Shaquille O'Neil auditioned for their school musical?

  Troy Bolton : Maybe?

• Troy Bolton : [after Gabriella takes the ball and starts walking around with it]  That's travelling. No, that's really bad travelling.

• Troy Bolton : [after Homeroom]  Hey.

  Gabrilla Montez : I don't...

  Troy Bolton : Believe it.

  Gabrilla Montez : Well me...

  Troy Bolton : Either. But how?

  Gabrilla Montez : Well my mom's company transfered her here to Alberquerque.

• Troy Bolton : [singing]  I gotta get my, get my head in the game.

  The Basketball team : [singing]  You gotta get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game.

• The Basketball team : From our team to yours.

  [Spelled out on their T-shirts] 

  The Basketball team : G-O-D-R-A-M-A-C-L-U-B

  Troy Bolton : Exclamation point.

  Ms. Darbus : Well, looks like us Wildcats are in for an interesting afternoon.

  Ryan : [Trying to read the shirts]  Go, go-go dray, go drame?

  [Sharpay scoffs and walks away] 

  Ryan : Drame?

• Troy Bolton : I'll call you, I'll call you tomorrow.

  Gabrilla Montez : Yeah.

  Troy Bolton : Here put your number in. Here.

  [He takes her picture] 

  Gabrilla Montez : You too.

  Troy Bolton : There you go. Well, just, so you know singing with you was the most fun I've had on this entire vacation. So, uh, where do you live?

  [He realizes that she has already left] 

  Troy Bolton : [looks at her picture, then says her name to himself]  Gabriella.

• Troy Bolton : Okay, now we will only be able to do this if we all work together.

• Troy Bolton : I'll sing with her.

  [meaning Gabriella] 

  Ms. Darbus : Troy Bolton? Where is your sports posse, or whatever you call it?

  Troy Bolton : Uhh, team.

• Troy Bolton : Dad, did you ever think about trying something new, but were afraid of what your friends might think?

  Jack Bolton : What, you mean like going left? You're doing great!

• Chad : Look, that music in those shows isn't hip-hop, okay, or rock, or anything essential to culture. It's all show music. It's all costumes and makeup... oh, dude, it's frightening.

  Troy Bolton : Yeah, I know. I just thought it would be a good laugh.

• Chad : Hey, the whole team's htting the gym for free period, what do you want us to run?

  Troy Bolton : I can't - I, uh, have to catch up on, uh, homework.

  Chad : What? It's only the second day back, even I'm not even behind on homework yet. And I've been behind on homework since preschool.

  Troy Bolton : [laugh]  That's hilarious. I'll catch you later?

• Chad : What spell has this elevated IQ temptress girl cast that suddenly makes you wanna be in a musical?

  Troy Bolton : Look, I just did it. Who cares?

  Chad : Who cares? How about your most loyal best friend?

• Troy Bolton : Should I go for it? I better shake this. Yikes.

• Troy Bolton : Dad, detention was my fault. Not hers.

  Jack Bolton : You haven't missed a practice in three years. That girl shows up...

  Troy Bolton : [interrupts]  That girl is named Gabriella. And she's very nice.

  Jack Bolton : Well, helping you miss practice doesn't make her very nice. Not in my book, or your team's.

• Troy Bolton : And you're not gonna hear me sing, guys, 'cause Gabriella won't even talk to me. And I don't know why.

  Chad : Um, we do.

  Zeke : [taking something out of his lunch bag]  Here, I baked this fresh this morning. You might want to try some before you hear the rest.

• Chad : [interrupting Troy and Gabriella's kiss]  The team voted you the winning ball.

  [shoves it in Troy's arms] 

  Troy Bolton : Thanks, thanks a lot man.

• Gabrilla Montez : Well, I guess I better go find my Mom and wish her a "Happy New Year."

  Troy Bolton : Right, me too. Not your mom, my mom... and dad.

• Troy Bolton : She has an amazing voice.

  Ms. Darbus : Perhaps the next musicale.

• Troy Bolton : [laughs]  Now that's impossible.

  Sharpay : [coming out from behind the sign up sheet]  What's impossible, Troy? I wouldn't think "impossible" was even in your vocabulary.

• Troy Bolton : I thought you were my friends! Win together, lose together, teammates.

  Chad : But suddenly the girl and the singing.

• Sharpay : When's the big game?

  Troy Bolton : Uh, two weeks.

  Sharpay : You are so dedicated, just like me. I hope you come watch me in the musical. Promise? Toodles.

  Troy Bolton : Toodles.

• Troy Bolton : [singing]  Coach said to fake right and break left / Watch out for the pick and keep an eye on defense / Gotta run the give and go and take the ball to the hole / And don't be afraid to shoot the outside "J" / Just keep your head in the game / Just keep ya head in the game.

• Troy Bolton : Hey! How's it going? So anyways

  [Troy starts talking and we are unable to hear what he's saying] 

  Jason : Dream? Do you remember the night before?

  Troy Bolton : No, all I remember is like pink jelly.
