EJ: Previously on High School
Musical: The Musical: The Series...
2
00:00:03,149 --> 00:00:06,903
Sure, I did a little "research"
into my girlfriend's text history.
3
00:00:06,986 --> 00:00:10,198
But at least I'm not the guy
leaving her thirsty voicemails
4
00:00:10,281 --> 00:00:12,659
or deliberately damaging people's faces.
5
00:00:12,742 --> 00:00:15,370
Luckily, everything is chill
with me and Nini now.
6
00:00:15,453 --> 00:00:17,872
It's not like she knows I took her phone.
(LAUGHS)
7
00:00:23,169 --> 00:00:26,673
Okay, so when Miss Jenn asked me
to be on the costume crew for HSM,
8
00:00:26,756 --> 00:00:29,425
I was like, "But there aren't
any costumes in this movie."
9
00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:31,511
They're just high schoolers.
10
00:00:31,594 --> 00:00:34,806
But she was like,
"It's a period piece, get creative."
11
00:00:34,889 --> 00:00:38,309
So, I'm digging through old costume racks,
seeing what I can repurpose.
12
00:00:38,393 --> 00:00:41,646
But what did people in 2006 even wear?
13
00:00:41,729 --> 00:00:46,025
I pretty much wore diapers.
But my job is to make it work.
14
00:00:46,109 --> 00:00:48,862
We're a team, right?
Everybody pullin' together.
15
00:00:48,945 --> 00:00:50,071
Ugh.
16
00:00:50,154 --> 00:00:53,533
That's what makes theater
such a safe and loving environment.
17
00:00:54,617 --> 00:00:56,369
Hey, Nini! Hey, wait up.
18
00:00:56,452 --> 00:00:57,662
I don't wanna be late.
19
00:00:57,745 --> 00:01:00,164
-What's up? Where were you?
-Had a costume fitting.
20
00:01:00,248 --> 00:01:02,584
But why haven't you answered my texts?
21
00:01:02,667 --> 00:01:05,670
-Could we not do this right now, please?
-Do what? Are you mad at me?
22
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:08,631
(SIGHS)
23
00:01:09,507 --> 00:01:12,927
You're mad at me.
Look, there was no fitting at lunch.
24
00:01:13,011 --> 00:01:15,346
Fine. Wanna know where I was at lunch?
25
00:01:15,430 --> 00:01:16,723
I was at the computer lab,
26
00:01:16,806 --> 00:01:18,766
bribing some hacker to crack into my phone
27
00:01:18,850 --> 00:01:20,977
to recover a message you deleted
when you stole it.
28
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:23,021
-Wait. Why do you think that I...
-NINI: Oh, please.
29
00:01:23,104 --> 00:01:25,815
Gina's not the wonderstudy
I need to worry about, is she?
30
00:01:30,486 --> 00:01:32,780
-Can we talk about this over the...
-Don't.
31
00:01:34,657 --> 00:01:37,327
Nini, I was spiraling, okay?
32
00:01:37,410 --> 00:01:39,704
I said I loved you
and you couldn't say it back.
33
00:01:39,787 --> 00:01:41,247
Hey, you said it to Ricky,
34
00:01:41,331 --> 00:01:43,041
now I see the way he looks at you...
35
00:01:43,124 --> 00:01:45,001
-I know you guys have more history...
-Yeah.
36
00:01:45,084 --> 00:01:46,252
He'd never steal my phone.
37
00:01:46,336 --> 00:01:48,671
No, I know, he just leaves
sad-face messages on it
38
00:01:48,755 --> 00:01:50,298
asking if you shared a moment over a song.
39
00:01:50,381 --> 00:01:53,468
-Don't make this about Ricky!
-EJ: That is what this is about.
40
00:01:53,551 --> 00:01:55,678
I'm trying to hold onto
what we had over the summer.
41
00:01:55,762 --> 00:01:58,056
Yeah, I was too. But you know what?
42
00:02:00,225 --> 00:02:01,559
Summer's over.
43
00:02:04,854 --> 00:02:05,980
(MOUTHING) Yes.
44
00:02:08,775 --> 00:02:11,903
Hey, is the door locked or something?
Why can't we get in?
45
00:02:11,986 --> 00:02:15,865
Oh. Natalie Bagley's missing her
emotional-support hamster. He got loose.
46
00:02:15,949 --> 00:02:19,160
Carlos and Gina are helping her find her.
Him. It.
47
00:02:19,244 --> 00:02:21,246
-(HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING)
-(STUDENTS GASP)
48
00:02:21,829 --> 00:02:22,997
I think they found it.
49
00:02:34,551 --> 00:02:37,887
Hey, shouldn't you be at rehearsal?
What're you looking for?
50
00:02:37,971 --> 00:02:40,014
Scene seven. I took the page out
to memorize
51
00:02:40,098 --> 00:02:43,101
and now I'm thinking
Big Red used it as a napkin.
52
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:46,312
Is that a hot wing?
53
00:02:46,396 --> 00:02:48,356
Uh... I started to clean up,
54
00:02:48,439 --> 00:02:51,317
but then your mom said
she wanted to meet us at the restaurant.
55
00:02:51,401 --> 00:02:54,320
Straight from the airport?
Why isn't she coming home first?
56
00:02:54,404 --> 00:02:56,364
I guess she figured she'd be hungry.
57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,450
Um, screw it. I'll borrow a script.
58
00:02:59,534 --> 00:03:01,077
You'll be done by 7:00, right?
59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,038
I mean, give yourself enough time
to get to the restaurant.
60
00:03:04,122 --> 00:03:06,541
The restaurant's, like,
10 minutes from school. I'll be there.
61
00:03:10,253 --> 00:03:12,589
-Mom.
-Hey, you.
62
00:03:12,672 --> 00:03:15,508
-Oh, God, I've missed you. Come here.
-(RICKY CHUCKLES)
63
00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:17,719
Wait, is that a hot wing?
64
00:03:17,802 --> 00:03:19,429
I thought we were meeting
at the restaurant.
65
00:03:19,512 --> 00:03:21,556
Well, I caught an earlier flight.
66
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,100
But we agreed we would do this
at the restaurant.
67
00:03:25,393 --> 00:03:26,769
Agreed to do what?
68
00:03:31,691 --> 00:03:34,694
Sometimes a relationship needs
one person looking after the other.
69
00:03:34,777 --> 00:03:38,281
It wasn't divine intervention that got you
into Marian the Librarian's costume.
70
00:03:38,364 --> 00:03:40,033
What does that mean?
71
00:03:42,619 --> 00:03:44,204
You were responsible for Emily Pratt
72
00:03:44,287 --> 00:03:45,872
spending opening night in the toilet?
73
00:03:45,955 --> 00:03:47,040
I believed in you.
74
00:03:47,123 --> 00:03:49,125
-Answer the question.
-Take it down a notch.
75
00:03:49,209 --> 00:03:51,169
I slipped her a bad deviled egg.
76
00:03:51,252 --> 00:03:53,087
I didn't think it would actually work.
77
00:03:53,171 --> 00:03:55,048
You got to play the lead, didn't you?
78
00:03:55,131 --> 00:03:57,133
Was that gonna happen
if I hadn't stepped in?
79
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:00,678
I need a moment.
80
00:04:00,762 --> 00:04:02,263
-Is he dead?
-No.
81
00:04:02,347 --> 00:04:04,224
Now she thinks he's in her gym locker.
82
00:04:04,307 --> 00:04:05,391
Why the screaming?
83
00:04:05,475 --> 00:04:07,518
That was me. She stepped on my toe.
84
00:04:07,602 --> 00:04:09,812
We're ready to begin, people. (SIGHS)
85
00:04:09,896 --> 00:04:11,689
Miss Jenn talked to Ricky,
he's running late.
86
00:04:11,773 --> 00:04:13,024
Who cares?
87
00:04:13,107 --> 00:04:15,318
CARLOS: Hmm. You might,
considering you're his understudy.
88
00:04:15,693 --> 00:04:19,030
We're blocking the Troy, Gabriella duet.
You're on, lovers.
89
00:04:19,113 --> 00:04:20,740
BOY: Really?
GIRL: We don't know... Yeah.
90
00:04:21,616 --> 00:04:23,159
GIRL: No, I haven't yet.
91
00:04:23,243 --> 00:04:25,370
Can we do whatever
we're doing at dinner now?
92
00:04:26,162 --> 00:04:28,623
We'll have dinner here. I'll order in.
93
00:04:28,706 --> 00:04:29,749
No. We can go out.
94
00:04:29,832 --> 00:04:31,459
The Thai place
with spring rolls delivers.
95
00:04:31,543 --> 00:04:33,586
-Not the veggie ones...
-Guys, talk to me.
96
00:04:34,629 --> 00:04:36,256
Are we moving to Chicago?
97
00:04:36,923 --> 00:04:37,924
LYNNE: No.
98
00:04:39,759 --> 00:04:40,760
I am.
99
00:04:45,265 --> 00:04:47,392
Sweetheart, we've decided
to legally separate.
100
00:04:47,475 --> 00:04:50,603
I thought you were coming back to see
some counselor, to make things right.
101
00:04:50,687 --> 00:04:52,313
-Can we sit down?
-I don't want to!
102
00:04:52,397 --> 00:04:54,482
-The last thing you guys told me...
-We saw somebody...
103
00:04:54,566 --> 00:04:55,984
While you were in different cities?
104
00:04:56,067 --> 00:04:57,610
How is that supposed to help?
105
00:04:57,694 --> 00:04:59,904
Ricky, this isn't your fault. You're...
106
00:04:59,988 --> 00:05:02,282
You're the one thing
that's held your dad and I together
107
00:05:02,365 --> 00:05:03,449
these past few years...
108
00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:05,034
MIKE: We're quoting the counselor.
109
00:05:05,118 --> 00:05:06,828
You don't agree? What do you wanna say?
110
00:05:06,911 --> 00:05:09,205
I don't know.
I thought I had two more hours.
111
00:05:09,289 --> 00:05:11,124
You know what? I've got a rehearsal.
112
00:05:11,916 --> 00:05:13,042
Honey, I'm sorry.
113
00:05:13,126 --> 00:05:14,294
MIKE: We'll continue at dinner.
114
00:05:14,377 --> 00:05:15,378
Not sure when I get out.
115
00:05:15,461 --> 00:05:17,881
It's a musical, lots of scenes,
could be tomorrow.
116
00:05:18,548 --> 00:05:19,757
I'll call you. (SIGHS)

(DOOR CLOSES)
118
00:05:23,428 --> 00:05:25,847
MISS JENN: Can you move
a little closer to each other?
119
00:05:30,143 --> 00:05:31,436
Little more. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
120
00:05:33,271 --> 00:05:35,815
Come on, guys, we're blocking this
as a love story,
121
00:05:35,899 --> 00:05:37,233
not a SARS epidemic.
122
00:05:37,317 --> 00:05:39,485
I think that chair was over there.
123
00:05:39,569 --> 00:05:41,613
Oh, I can move it over in the scene.
124
00:05:41,696 --> 00:05:42,697
Feels awkward.
125
00:05:42,780 --> 00:05:44,741
It's light.
I can lift it above my head and walk.
126
00:05:44,824 --> 00:05:47,702
Sweetie, no one is walking
with furniture on their head.
127
00:05:47,785 --> 00:05:49,621
This isn't The Lion King. (INHALES)
128
00:05:49,704 --> 00:05:50,788
Strike the chair, please.
129
00:05:50,872 --> 00:05:52,123
With what?
130
00:05:52,207 --> 00:05:54,918
Take it away. Remove it. (CHUCKLES)

Troy, once the intro begins,
132
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,633
cross downstage
and plant yourself at the piano.
133
00:06:01,716 --> 00:06:05,220
Which should be further downstage, okay?
134
00:06:09,807 --> 00:06:12,352
No, dear, that would be upstage.

00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:20,151
Okay. Gabriella,
you slowly approach the piano
137
00:06:20,235 --> 00:06:23,279
and rest an arm on it, naturally.
138
00:06:23,363 --> 00:06:25,907
Can we make sure her bookbag
is off stage right?
139
00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:27,492
Sure. Um...
140
00:06:29,118 --> 00:06:30,286
Which way is that?
141
00:06:32,247 --> 00:06:34,290
Why do these people talk in code?
142
00:06:34,374 --> 00:06:36,876
"Up" means "down," "strike" means "move."
143
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,505
She says, "Break a leg" and I'm like,
"What did my leg ever do to you?"
144
00:06:40,588 --> 00:06:42,632
I never should've joined the crew.

Okey-dokey.

that I couldn't see

You were always there beside me

00:07:09,701 --> 00:07:13,830
Thought I was alone with no one to hold

What I've been looking for

Well, this is a choice.
166

Okay, I have more chemistry with the woman
who definitely doesn't color my hair.

00:08:16,351 --> 00:08:17,810
Okay, freeze.
177
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:20,355
Nini, sweetie,
178
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:26,110
this reprise comes at
a decisive moment in the story,
179
00:08:26,194 --> 00:08:28,321
once your hearts have joined.
180
00:08:28,404 --> 00:08:29,739
It's a love song.
181
00:08:30,865 --> 00:08:32,075
Were you not getting that?
182
00:08:32,158 --> 00:08:34,953
I'd like you to get to his heart
without cracking his rib cage.
183
00:08:35,662 --> 00:08:36,788
Sorry I'm late.
184
00:08:36,871 --> 00:08:39,415
My mom, she caught an earlier flight.
185
00:08:39,499 --> 00:08:40,500
Where are we?
186
00:08:40,583 --> 00:08:42,085
-Scene seven.
-RICKY: Right.
187
00:08:42,168 --> 00:08:44,379
I don't have it. Could I borrow...
188
00:08:44,462 --> 00:08:47,090
You need your script, Ricky. And a pencil.
189
00:08:47,173 --> 00:08:48,508
It's a blocking rehearsal.
190
00:08:49,092 --> 00:08:50,343
Could I borrow a pencil?
191
00:08:50,426 --> 00:08:53,054
-You can share mine.
-MISS JENN: No, he can't.
192
00:08:53,137 --> 00:08:56,724
When you come to rehearsal, people,
you come prepared.

(NATALIE PANTING)
194
00:08:59,060 --> 00:09:00,270
Was he in your gym locker?
195
00:09:00,353 --> 00:09:02,564
No, just my cherry lip balm.
196
00:09:02,647 --> 00:09:04,566
(SNIFFLES) But it had
Elliot's teeth marks in it.
197
00:09:04,649 --> 00:09:05,817
That wouldn't hurt him.
198
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:07,235
It's sparkly.
199
00:09:07,318 --> 00:09:08,987
Then it'll be easier to find him.
200
00:09:10,113 --> 00:09:11,406
(NERVOUSLY) If he smiles.
201
00:09:12,532 --> 00:09:14,242
Natalie, we feel your pain,
202
00:09:14,325 --> 00:09:17,537
but I was just explaining
what a constructive rehearsal requires.
203
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:20,248
Focus. And honestly, another day like this
204
00:09:20,331 --> 00:09:22,834
and I am showing up
with my emotional support coyote.
205
00:09:23,501 --> 00:09:24,711
Miss. Jenn, I know the scene.
206
00:09:24,794 --> 00:09:26,212
Would you wait in my office?
207
00:09:26,296 --> 00:09:27,797
Thank you.
208
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,466
Wait, are we done?
209
00:09:31,384 --> 00:09:32,594
We are, Ms. Darbus.
210
00:09:33,094 --> 00:09:34,304
Take a note.
211
00:09:34,387 --> 00:09:37,515
This is what
a frustrated drama teacher looks like.
212
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:41,102
Go. Scoot.
213
00:09:41,686 --> 00:09:44,147
Come back when you're ready
to be punctual,
214
00:09:44,230 --> 00:09:48,776
park your distractions at the door,
and take the work in here seriously.
215
00:09:51,988 --> 00:09:56,284
(INHALES) The bottom line is you made
a commitment to be here, Ricky.
216
00:09:56,367 --> 00:09:58,203
A big role comes with big responsibility.
217
00:09:58,286 --> 00:10:00,788
You and Nini set the tone
for the rest of the cast.
218
00:10:01,456 --> 00:10:02,707
-Understood.
-MISS JENN: Really?
219
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:04,792
Well, unless it's a family emergency...
220
00:10:04,876 --> 00:10:06,211
My parents are splitting up.
221
00:10:10,381 --> 00:10:11,549
For real.
222
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,553
Oh. Um...
223
00:10:17,096 --> 00:10:18,514
I'm so sorry to hear that.
224
00:10:22,060 --> 00:10:23,478
I know exactly how you feel.
225
00:10:24,771 --> 00:10:26,356
I went through the same thing.
226
00:10:26,439 --> 00:10:29,817
When I was 14, my mother and father
called it quits.
227
00:10:30,818 --> 00:10:32,654
Well, not my father, my stepfather.
228
00:10:33,613 --> 00:10:35,031
I never knew my real dad.
229
00:10:35,114 --> 00:10:39,744
He was a telephone repairman
who fell in love with long distances.
230
00:10:39,827 --> 00:10:43,206
It's not my line. Tennessee Williams,
but you get my drift.
231
00:10:43,706 --> 00:10:45,875
My real father sold pagers.
232
00:10:45,959 --> 00:10:50,755
But Jack, my stepfather,
he was a pivotal figure who inspired me.
233
00:10:51,965 --> 00:10:54,092
He was so gentle and soft-spoken...
234
00:10:54,175 --> 00:10:57,512
-Miss Jenn.
-He loved poetry and music,
235
00:10:57,595 --> 00:10:59,180
hated violence of any kind...

eating your protein bar.

Shoo, shoo, shoo.

-Hey! Hey, Miss Jenn, stop.
-Shoo, shoo, shoo.
239
00:11:07,981 --> 00:11:10,275
I could just catch it and take it outside.
240
00:11:10,358 --> 00:11:12,694

It's her hamster.

He escaped from his box.
Can you blame him?
242
00:11:14,863 --> 00:11:16,072

-Wait, where did he go?

Might be under the sofa?
245
00:11:19,492 --> 00:11:20,994
Can I lure him with that protein bar?
246
00:11:21,077 --> 00:11:22,453
Absolutely not. That's my dinner.
247
00:11:23,371 --> 00:11:25,248
I can stay here and catch him.

and be with your family.
