EJ: Previously on High School
Musical: The Musical: The Series...

2
00:00:03,128 --> 00:00:06,882
Sure, I did a little "research"
into my girlfriend's text history.

3
00:00:06,965 --> 00:00:10,177
But at least I'm not the guy
leaving her thirsty voicemails

4
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,638
or deliberately damaging people's faces.

5
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:15,349
Luckily, everything is chill
with me and Nini now.

6
00:00:15,432 --> 00:00:17,851
It's not like she knows I took her phone.
(LAUGHS)

7
00:00:23,148 --> 00:00:26,652
Okay, so when Miss Jenn asked me
to be on the costume crew for HSM,

8
00:00:26,735 --> 00:00:29,404
I was like, "But there aren't
any costumes in this movie."

9
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:31,490
They're just high schoolers.

10
00:00:31,573 --> 00:00:34,785
But she was like,
"It's a period piece, get creative."

11
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:38,288
So, I'm digging through old costume racks,
seeing what I can repurpose.

12
00:00:38,372 --> 00:00:41,625
But what did people in 2006 even wear?

13
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:46,004
I pretty much wore diapers.
But my job is to make it work.

14
00:00:46,088 --> 00:00:48,841
We're a team, right?
Everybody pullin' together.

15
00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:50,050
Ugh.

16
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:53,512
That's what makes theater
such a safe and loving environment.

17
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:56,348
Hey, Nini! Hey, wait up.

18
00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:57,641
I don't wanna be late.

19
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,143
-What's up? Where were you?
-Had a costume fitting.

20
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:02,563
But why haven't you answered my texts?

21
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:05,649
-Could we not do this right now, please?
-Do what? Are you mad at me?

22
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:08,610
(SIGHS)

23
00:01:09,486 --> 00:01:12,906
You're mad at me.
Look, there was no fitting at lunch.

24
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:15,325
Fine. Wanna know where I was at lunch?

25
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:16,702
I was at the computer lab,

26
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:18,745
bribing some hacker to crack into my phone

27
00:01:18,829 --> 00:01:20,956
to recover a message you deleted
when you stole it.

28
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:23,000
-Wait. Why do you think that I...
-NINI: Oh, please.

29
00:01:23,083 --> 00:01:25,794
Gina's not the wonderstudy
I need to worry about, is she?

30
00:01:30,465 --> 00:01:32,759
-Can we talk about this over the...
-Don't.

31
00:01:34,636 --> 00:01:37,306
Nini, I was spiraling, okay?

32
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:39,683
I said I loved you
and you couldn't say it back.

33
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:41,226
Hey, you said it to Ricky,

34
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:43,020
now I see the way he looks at you...

35
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:44,980
-I know you guys have more history...
-Yeah.

36
00:01:45,063 --> 00:01:46,231
He'd never steal my phone.

37
00:01:46,315 --> 00:01:48,650
No, I know, he just leaves
sad-face messages on it

38
00:01:48,734 --> 00:01:50,277
asking if you shared a moment over a song.

39
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,447
-Don't make this about Ricky!
-EJ: That is what this is about.

40
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:55,657
I'm trying to hold onto
what we had over the summer.

41
00:01:55,741 --> 00:01:58,035
Yeah, I was too. But you know what?

42
00:02:00,204 --> 00:02:01,538
Summer's over.

43
00:02:04,833 --> 00:02:05,959
(MOUTHING) Yes.

44
00:02:08,753 --> 00:02:11,882
Hey, is the door locked or something?
Why can't we get in?

45
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:15,844
Oh. Natalie Bagley's missing her
emotional-support hamster. He got loose.

46
00:02:15,928 --> 00:02:19,139
Carlos and Gina are helping her find her.
Him. It.

47
00:02:19,223 --> 00:02:21,225
-(HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING)
-(STUDENTS GASP)

48
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:22,976
I think they found it.

49
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,866
Hey, shouldn't you be at rehearsal?
What're you looking for?

50
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:39,993
Scene seven. I took the page out
to memorize

51
00:02:40,077 --> 00:02:43,080
and now I'm thinking
Big Red used it as a napkin.

52
00:02:44,498 --> 00:02:46,291
Is that a hot wing?

53
00:02:46,375 --> 00:02:48,335
Uh... I started to clean up,

54
00:02:48,418 --> 00:02:51,296
but then your mom said
she wanted to meet us at the restaurant.

55
00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:54,299
Straight from the airport?
Why isn't she coming home first?

56
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:56,343
I guess she figured she'd be hungry.

57
00:02:57,219 --> 00:02:59,429
Um, screw it. I'll borrow a script.

58
00:02:59,513 --> 00:03:01,056
You'll be done by 7:00, right?

59
00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:04,017
I mean, give yourself enough time
to get to the restaurant.

60
00:03:04,101 --> 00:03:06,520
The restaurant's, like,
10 minutes from school. I'll be there.

61
00:03:10,232 --> 00:03:12,568
-Mom.
-Hey, you.

62
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:15,487
-Oh, God, I've missed you. Come here.
-(RICKY CHUCKLES)

63
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,698
Wait, is that a hot wing?

64
00:03:17,781 --> 00:03:19,408
I thought we were meeting
at the restaurant.

65
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:21,535
Well, I caught an earlier flight.

66
00:03:21,618 --> 00:03:24,079
But we agreed we would do this
at the restaurant.

67
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:26,748
Agreed to do what?

68
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:34,673
Sometimes a relationship needs
one person looking after the other.

69
00:03:34,756 --> 00:03:38,260
It wasn't divine intervention that got you
into Marian the Librarian's costume.

70
00:03:38,343 --> 00:03:40,012
What does that mean?

71
00:03:42,598 --> 00:03:44,183
You were responsible for Emily Pratt

72
00:03:44,266 --> 00:03:45,851
spending opening night in the toilet?

73
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:47,019
I believed in you.

74
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:49,104
-Answer the question.
-Take it down a notch.

75
00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:51,148
I slipped her a bad deviled egg.

76
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:53,066
I didn't think it would actually work.

77
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:55,027
You got to play the lead, didn't you?

78
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:57,112
Was that gonna happen
if I hadn't stepped in?

79
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,657
I need a moment.

80
00:04:00,741 --> 00:04:02,242
-Is he dead?
-No.

81
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:04,203
Now she thinks he's in her gym locker.

82
00:04:04,286 --> 00:04:05,370
Why the screaming?

83
00:04:05,454 --> 00:04:07,497
That was me. She stepped on my toe.

84
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,791
We're ready to begin, people. (SIGHS)

85
00:04:09,875 --> 00:04:11,668
Miss Jenn talked to Ricky,
he's running late.

86
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:13,003
Who cares?

87
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,297
CARLOS: Hmm. You might,
considering you're his understudy.

88
00:04:15,672 --> 00:04:19,009
We're blocking the Troy, Gabriella duet.
You're on, lovers.

89
00:04:19,091 --> 00:04:20,719
BOY: Really?
GIRL: We don't know... Yeah.

90
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:23,138
GIRL: No, I haven't yet.

91
00:04:23,222 --> 00:04:25,349
Can we do whatever
we're doing at dinner now?

92
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:28,602
We'll have dinner here. I'll order in.

93
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:29,728
No. We can go out.

94
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:31,438
The Thai place
with spring rolls delivers.

95
00:04:31,522 --> 00:04:33,565
-Not the veggie ones...
-Guys, talk to me.

96
00:04:34,608 --> 00:04:36,235
Are we moving to Chicago?

97
00:04:36,902 --> 00:04:37,903
LYNNE: No.

98
00:04:39,738 --> 00:04:40,739
I am.

99
00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:47,371
Sweetheart, we've decided
to legally separate.

100
00:04:47,454 --> 00:04:50,582
I thought you were coming back to see
some counselor, to make things right.

101
00:04:50,666 --> 00:04:52,292
-Can we sit down?
-I don't want to!

102
00:04:52,376 --> 00:04:54,461
-The last thing you guys told me...
-We saw somebody...

103
00:04:54,545 --> 00:04:55,963
While you were in different cities?

104
00:04:56,046 --> 00:04:57,589
How is that supposed to help?

105
00:04:57,673 --> 00:04:59,883
Ricky, this isn't your fault. You're...

106
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:02,261
You're the one thing
that's held your dad and I together

107
00:05:02,344 --> 00:05:03,428
these past few years...

108
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:05,013
MIKE: We're quoting the counselor.

109
00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:06,807
You don't agree? What do you wanna say?

110
00:05:06,890 --> 00:05:09,184
I don't know.
I thought I had two more hours.

111
00:05:09,268 --> 00:05:11,103
You know what? I've got a rehearsal.

112
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:13,021
Honey, I'm sorry.

113
00:05:13,105 --> 00:05:14,273
MIKE: We'll continue at dinner.

114
00:05:14,356 --> 00:05:15,357
Not sure when I get out.

115
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,860
It's a musical, lots of scenes,
could be tomorrow.

116
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:19,736
I'll call you. (SIGHS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

118
00:05:23,407 --> 00:05:25,826
MISS JENN: Can you move
a little closer to each other?

119
00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:31,415
Little more. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

120
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:35,794
Come on, guys, we're blocking this
as a love story,

121
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:37,212
not a SARS epidemic.

122
00:05:37,296 --> 00:05:39,464
I think that chair was over there.

123
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:41,592
Oh, I can move it over in the scene.

124
00:05:41,675 --> 00:05:42,676
Feels awkward.

125
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:44,720
It's light.
I can lift it above my head and walk.

126
00:05:44,803 --> 00:05:47,681
Sweetie, no one is walking
with furniture on their head.

127
00:05:47,764 --> 00:05:49,600
This isn't The Lion King. (INHALES)

128
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:50,767
Strike the chair, please.

129
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:52,102
With what?

130
00:05:52,186 --> 00:05:54,897
Take it away. Remove it. (CHUCKLES)

131

Troy, once the intro begins,

132
00:05:58,859 --> 00:06:01,612
cross downstage
and plant yourself at the piano.

133
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:05,199
Which should be further downstage, okay?

134
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:12,331
No, dear, that would be upstage.

00:06:15,876 --> 00:06:20,130
Okay. Gabriella,
you slowly approach the piano

137
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:23,258
and rest an arm on it, naturally.

138
00:06:23,342 --> 00:06:25,886
Can we make sure her bookbag
is off stage right?

139
00:06:25,969 --> 00:06:27,471
Sure. Um...

140
00:06:29,097 --> 00:06:30,265
Which way is that?

141
00:06:32,226 --> 00:06:34,269
Why do these people talk in code?

142
00:06:34,353 --> 00:06:36,855
"Up" means "down," "strike" means "move."

143
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:40,484
She says, "Break a leg" and I'm like,
"What did my leg ever do to you?"

144
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:42,611
I never should've joined the crew.

that I couldn't see

00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,596
You were always there beside me

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,809
Thought I was alone with no one to hold

153

So lonely before

What I've been looking for

Well, this is a choice.

166
00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:52,723
Okay, I have more chemistry with the woman
who definitely doesn't color my hair.

Okay, freeze.

177
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,334
Nini, sweetie,

178
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:26,089
this reprise comes at
a decisive moment in the story,

179
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:28,300
once your hearts have joined.

180
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:29,718
It's a love song.

181
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,054
Were you not getting that?

182
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:34,932
I'd like you to get to his heart
without cracking his rib cage.

183
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,767
Sorry I'm late.

184
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:39,394
My mom, she caught an earlier flight.

185
00:08:39,477 --> 00:08:40,479
Where are we?

186
00:08:40,562 --> 00:08:42,063
-Scene seven.
-RICKY: Right.

187
00:08:42,147 --> 00:08:44,358
I don't have it. Could I borrow...

188
00:08:44,441 --> 00:08:47,069
You need your script, Ricky. And a pencil.

189
00:08:47,152 --> 00:08:48,487
It's a blocking rehearsal.

190
00:08:49,071 --> 00:08:50,322
Could I borrow a pencil?

191
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,033
-You can share mine.
-MISS JENN: No, he can't.

192
00:08:53,116 --> 00:08:56,703
When you come to rehearsal, people,
you come prepared.

194
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:00,249
Was he in your gym locker?

195
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:02,543
No, just my cherry lip balm.

196
00:09:02,626 --> 00:09:04,545
(SNIFFLES) But it had
Elliot's teeth marks in it.

197
00:09:04,628 --> 00:09:05,796
That wouldn't hurt him.

198
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:07,214
It's sparkly.

199
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:08,966
Then it'll be easier to find him.

200
00:09:10,092 --> 00:09:11,385
(NERVOUSLY) If he smiles.

201
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:14,221
Natalie, we feel your pain,

202
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:17,516
but I was just explaining
what a constructive rehearsal requires.

203
00:09:17,599 --> 00:09:20,227
Focus. And honestly, another day like this

204
00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:22,813
and I am showing up
with my emotional support coyote.

205
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,690
Miss. Jenn, I know the scene.

206
00:09:24,773 --> 00:09:26,191
Would you wait in my office?

207
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:27,776
Thank you.

208
00:09:28,819 --> 00:09:30,445
Wait, are we done?

209
00:09:31,363 --> 00:09:32,573
We are, Ms. Darbus.

210
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,283
Take a note.

211
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:37,494
This is what
a frustrated drama teacher looks like.

212
00:09:39,329 --> 00:09:41,081
Go. Scoot.

213
00:09:41,665 --> 00:09:44,126
Come back when you're ready
to be punctual,

214
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:48,755
park your distractions at the door,
and take the work in here seriously.

215
00:09:51,967 --> 00:09:56,263
(INHALES) The bottom line is you made
a commitment to be here, Ricky.

216
00:09:56,346 --> 00:09:58,182
A big role comes with big responsibility.

217
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:00,767
You and Nini set the tone
for the rest of the cast.

218
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:02,686
-Understood.
-MISS JENN: Really?

219
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,771
Well, unless it's a family emergency...

220
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:06,190
My parents are splitting up.

221
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,528
For real.

222
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:15,532
Oh. Um...

223
00:10:17,075 --> 00:10:18,493
I'm so sorry to hear that.

224
00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:23,457
I know exactly how you feel.

225
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,335
I went through the same thing.

226
00:10:26,418 --> 00:10:29,796
When I was 14, my mother and father
called it quits.

227
00:10:30,797 --> 00:10:32,633
Well, not my father, my stepfather.

228
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:35,010
I never knew my real dad.

229
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:39,723
He was a telephone repairman
who fell in love with long distances.

230
00:10:39,806 --> 00:10:43,185
It's not my line. Tennessee Williams,
but you get my drift.

231
00:10:43,685 --> 00:10:45,854
My real father sold pagers.

232
00:10:45,938 --> 00:10:50,734
But Jack, my stepfather,
he was a pivotal figure who inspired me.

233
00:10:51,944 --> 00:10:54,071
He was so gentle and soft-spoken...

234
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:57,491
-Miss Jenn.
-He loved poetry and music,

235
00:10:57,574 --> 00:10:59,159

-Shoo, shoo, shoo.

Can I lure him with that protein bar?

246
00:11:21,056 --> 00:11:22,432
Absolutely not. That's my dinner.

247
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,227
