SIDE 1

(TAYLOR moves next to GABRIELLA. SHARPAY takes out her spare phone, dials and whispers into it.)

 

 

You're a genius.

 

 

 

 

Please, it's just an equation.

 

 

 

 

(privately, into her spare phone)
Ryan, it's me. I need you to do something right now...

 

 

 

 

I thought Ms. Darbus took your cell phone.

 

 

 

 

What? We always carry an extra, in case our agent calls.

 

 

 

 

(to GABRIELLA)
Look, our Science Decathlon team has a big regional match on Friday. We've never won it before, but with you on our side,we might stand a chance.

 

 

 

 

Thanks, but I just want to get acclimated to the new school and all.

 

 

 

 

Well... promise you'll think about it?

 

 

 

 

Promise.

 

 

 

 

SIDE 2

 

 

(stunned)
Where did those come from?

 

 

Didn't you slip them in my locker?

 

 

 

 

Of course not.

(SHARPAY eavesdrops.)

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

(interrupting, to GABRIELLA)
What a perfect way to get caught up... meeting with the smartest kids in the school.

 

 

 

 

We've never ever won the Science Decathlon. You could be our answered prayer.

 

 

 

 

(still reluctant)
Well... okay, I guess I can do it.

 

 

 

 

(hugging GABRIELLA)
Yay!

 

 

 

 

Okay, so like what do you know about Troy Bolton?

 

 

 

 

Troy? He has his clique, I have mine. Watch how it works in the cafeteria. You'll see.

 

 

 

 

SIDE 3

(Lights up on the JOCKS and the BRAINIACS sitting together in a summit meeting.)

 

 

 

 

You really think that's going to work?

 

 

 

 

It's the only way to save Troy and Gabriella from themselves.

 

 

 

 

Sounds good to me.

 

 

 

 

My watch says thirteen hundred hours, mountain standard time. Are we synchronized?

 

 

 

 

Save it for Charlie's Angels, Chad.

(smiles)
Au revoir, mon ami.
