SIDE 1

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

 

 

TAYLOR

You're a genius.

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

Please, it's just an equation.

 

 

 

 

SHARPAY

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

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

I thought Ms. Darbus took your cell phone.

 

 

 

 

SHARPAY

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

(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.

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

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

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

Promise.

 

 

 

 

SIDE 2

 

 

GABRIELLA

(stunned)
Where did those come from?

 

 

TAYLOR

Didn't you slip them in my locker?

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

Of course not.

(SHARPAY eavesdrops.)

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

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

 

 

 

 

SHARPAY

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

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

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

(hugging GABRIELLA)
Yay!

 

 

 

 

GABRIELLA

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

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.)

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

You really think that's going to work?

 

 

 

 

CHAD

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

Sounds good to me.

 

 

 

 

CHAD

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

 

 

 

 

TAYLOR

Save it for Charlie's Angels, Chad.

(smiles)
Au revoir, mon ami.
