Ep. 118: Distracted Diving and Concussion Risks with Brooke Earley

[BOLT DAD:]
Meet the latest recruit of U of Albuquerque!
I shouldn't brag, but, he’s worthy of that college jersey!
The ballers say he’s got the same virtuosity and skills as his pops!
And I must say that’s prob’ly where the resemblance stops!
I was having an affair, but I think that’s over
Gotta focus on my son, get him some exposure
So he’ll carry on my legacy with pride
He used to hear me say
That someday he would

[Ensemble:]
Blow us all away

[ZEKE:]
Boys, I'm looking for our captain Troy Bolton
Heard a rumor last week, he might find revoltin’
Something bout his father and Ms. D by word of mouth
Don’t know what’s up with that, but I’ll figure it out

[CHAD:]
I saw him just in the hallway with a couple of jocks
He was going to the stage

[ZEKE:]
Well, I'll go visit him, brah

[CHAD:]
Don’t make him distraught

[ZEKE:]
I guess it might be a shock
And if he needs a snack, I made some bagels and lox

[Both:]
OK!

[Company:]
Blow us all away!

[ZEKE:]
Troy!

[TROY:]
Huh?

[ZEKE:]
Troy!

[TROY:]
What? I'm tryin' to learn the show!

[ZEKE:]
We really need to talk about Ms. Darbus and your father though
I don’t wanna say anything that isn’t true
Your father's been cheating since before Act 2

[Ensemble:]
Ooooooooooh!

[TROY:]
What the fuck?

[ZEKE:]
Yeah, I didn’t know how to tell you
But I thought you should know

[TROY:]
I just can’t believe this
I need to see my dad and find out the sitch

[ZEKE:]
good luck
And Take a bagel on your way out

[TROY:]
Dad, I just cannot believe the shit I heard about you
Mom wouldn’t let this slide and I am not about to

[DAD:]
Slow down

[TROY:]
I heard you slept with Ms. Darbus
She’s not even that hot
And on top of that, how could you do this to me and mom?

[DAD:]
Can you keep quiet just to keep the peace?

[TROY:]
You need to apologize, I think you should see a priest

[DAD:]
What have i done?

[TROY:]
You’re destroying this family

[BOTH:]
Everything about this is insanity

[TROY:]
Alright
So this is what you're gonna do:
Stand there like a man until mom is in front of you
When the time comes, maybe compliment her hair
This will soften the blow of the whole affair

[DAD:]
But what if she wants a divorce?
Then I'm a goner

[TROY:]
No, she'll understand you’re truly a man a honor

DAD:
To ruin a marriage, that is something you can’t shake
Troy, your mother couldn’t take this heartbreak

[TROY:]
Dad

[DAD:]
I’ll tell her
I don’t want this weighing on your conscience

[TROY:]
Okay, you got this

[DAD:]
Come back home after practice

[TROY:]
Good luck dad, be smart
Fix this shitshow 

[DAD:]
My name is Coach
I am a Bolton
And I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, that I cheated on you, wife
It was a simple mistake and only a few times
Mrs. Bolton! Can you ever forgive me?

[MOM:]
How could you do this to me
You hoe

DAD:
Why do you have your pistol

[MOM:]
I’ve had it with men
You better start running, I’m counting to ten

[Ensemble:]
Count to ten!

[DAD:]
Look me in the eye, please don’t do this
I really think that we can talk through this

MOM:
I hope you had fun with Ms. Darbus

DAD:
[miscellaneous pleading]

[Male Ensemble:]
One two three four

[Full Ensemble:]
Five six seven
