bolton:
Ms. Darbus, you asked to see me?

darb:
I know you’re busy

bolt:
What do you need, ma’am? Ma’am?

darb:
I wanna give you a word of warning

bolt:
Ma’am, I don’t know what you heard
But whatever it is, Sharpay started it

darb:
I think Troy saw you and me  this morning

bolt:
You’re kidding

darb:
I need a favor

bolt:
Whatever you say, ma’am, I can talk to Troy a little later

darb:
Shh. Talk less 

bolt:
He’ll never guess
I know the situations grim, but I can always gaslight him 

darb:
I think that we should reassess

bolt:
Yes! We’ll find a way. Nothing really has to change

darb:
No, I think it’s best for us if we just call it quits 

bolt:
Ha! That’s a pretty good one

darb:
This is the end We’re breaking up I’m serious

bolt:
I’m sorry, what?

darb:
One last time
Relax, sing a song with me
One last time
Let’s take a break tonight
And we’ll have no choice but to say goodbye
To say goodbye
You and I

bolt:
No, ma’am, why?

darb:
I wanna talk about your family

bolt:
Ma’am, with me and my wife on the verge of divorce, is this the best time

darb:
Don’t wanna be the cause of you and Troy fighting

bolt:
But—

darb:
Get with the program, stop whining
After everything that has occurred
 The ways of your body I have learned

bolt:
As far as the students are concerned
They’ll never know, please don’t leave me alone
Please! One last time
Dribble my balls with me 
One last time
And if we have tonight
Then maybe we won’t have to say goodbye
Goodbye
You and I

darb:
Mr. Bolton, think of your family!

bolt:
No! We’ve done nothing wrong.

darb:
Your son is my starring lead

bolt:
So maybe you could be his new mom
Why do you have to say goodbye?

darb:
If I say goodbye, your family can hold strong
It outlives you when you’re gone
Like the playwrights say:
Theatre is the art form of the present: 
it exists only in the present, and then it's gone.
And It’s quite a performance we gave
You and I are just the present, no future
The curtain is closed, I’m afraid
Take a bow for the performance you gave
One last time

bolt:
One last time

darb:
Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still,
Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will!
Where shall we dine? O me! What fray was here?
Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.
Here’s much to do with hate, but more with love.
Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O any thing, of nothing first create!
O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms!
Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire,
sick health!
Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!
This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
Dost thou not laugh?…
Why, such is love’s transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;

[Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? a madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.]

bolt:
One last time 

ALL WOMEN:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

darb:

COMPANY:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

bolt:

COMPANY:
Coach bolton’s gonna bone

One Last Time

[ALL]
The class of 2008

[JASON]
Can we get back to high school?

[ZEKE]
Please?

[SHARPAY]
So. Every high school has a scandal, yes it’s bound to happen
My brother’s dating Chad, the Wildcats basketball co-captain.
Poor Troy Bolton? He is missing in action
So now I’m facing—

[ZEKE & JASON]
Gabriella!

[SHARPAY]
To my dissatisfaction

[RYAN]
She can hit a C7. Darbus loves her range.

[SHARPAY]
She’s not that great at acting, could be easily interchanged

[RYAN]
But give her a song, she slays it, no matter how the part’s arranged

[SHARPAY]
they say that  I’m high maintenance, at least they know I own the stage

[RYAN]
That’s the problem, sis, Gabriella’s fresh, new talent

[SHARPAY]
Ha!

[TIARA]
You need to change course, bring theater back into balance

[SHARPAY]
Sorry, who are you?

[TIARA]
Tiara Gold

[SHARPAY]
And?

[TIARA]
You need an assistant, so I’ve been told

[SHARPAY]
Ok sure!

[TIARA]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[TIARA & SHARPAY]
It might be nice, it might be nice
To get Darbus on your side

[KELSI & ENSEMBLE]
Come on guys!
No!
Sing more!
No!
Bring your talent right up to the stage door
No!
Dance with him!
What!
Duet with her!
What!
It’s senior year, ladies, our last chance to bond and rehearse!

[CHAD]
I don’t like singing

[RYAN]
Well, we need some dancers in the chorus

[TAYLOR]
And Darbus—

[ZEKE]
She’s snapped her cap!

[MARTHA]
She wants a grand performance

[KELSI]
You loved the talent show!

[JASON]
I can’t believe we won that thing!

[RYAN]
Then this should be a breeze

[CHAD]
As long as I don’t have to sing

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ENSEMBLE]
Dear Troy Bolton: we all know that your father’s death has been so disappointing

[TROY]
It’s quiet at Chad’s

[ALL]
Theater or sports?
Sneakers or dancing shoes?
Theater or sports?
But if you had to choose
Dear Troy Bolton: (Theater or Sports?)
your fellow Wildcats would like to know if you’ll be joining (Sneakers or dancing shoes?)
But if you had to choose

[TROY]
Well, if it isn’t Ms. Darbus. Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Troy Bolton!

[TROY]
You’ve created quite a stir, Ma’am!

[DARBUS]
Water under the bridge!

[TROY]
Are you having auditions?

[DARBUS]
No!

[TROY]
That’s new

[DARBUS]
Frankly, it’s more entertaining

[TROY]
Ma’am—

[DARBUS]
Yes?

[TROY]
Have you chosen who will play who?

[DARBUS]
No. I’m in between two
And you know what?

[TROY]
What?

[DARBUS]
I learned that from you

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[RYAN]
Is it Sharpay?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[KELSI]
Is it Gabriella?

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose

[ALL]
She’s posting the cast list!

[ENSEMBLE]
If you had to choose
Who will be in the play
We will find out today
Choose
Choose
Choose!

[DARBUS]
So
The students are asking to hear my voice
This production is facing a difficult choice
And if you were to ask me who’ll play the lead—
—Gabriella is who we need
I’ve cast Sharpay many times before
I can’t deny she’s got allure
But when all is said and all is through
Gabriella’s fresh! Sharpay’s old news

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh

[Ryan]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

The roles have been asigned

[ENSEMBLE]
Well, I’ll be damned
Well, I’ll be damned

[KESLI]
And?

[RYAN]
Sharpay’s been pushed aside

[SHARPAY]
Congrats on a job well done
I did give you a fight

[GABRIELLA]
Yeah

[SHARPAY]
I look forward to sharing the stage with you

[GABRIELLA]
Sharing?

[SHARPAY]
As your supporting lead

[GABRIELLA]
Um, Sharpay, I don’t know how to tell you this… Maybe you should take a look at the cast list

[TAYLOR]
It’s crazy that she assumes that she’s a lead… 

[GABRIELLA]
I honestly feel kind of bad

[TAYLOR]
Why?

[SHARPAY]
I’M THE UNDERSTUDY?

The Class of 2008 (The Election of 1800)

[SHARPAY]
How does Gabriella
A know-it-all
Transfer kid, math whiz
Pathetic, rat bitch
Somehow get cast
By Ms. Darbus, my mentor
In a craft she’s only just beginning
Just to keep me from winning?
I wanna be on the stage where it happens—

[SHARPAY AND COMPANY]
The stage where it happens
The stage where it happens

[SHARPAY]
You’ve kept me from—

[SHARPAY AND COMPANY]
The stage where it happens

[SHARPAY]
For the last time

Dear Gabriella:
I am quick to anger
And I toe the line
As I reckon with the effects
Of your life on mine
I look back on failed auditions
And in every place I checked
The only common thread has been you, I suspect
Now they’re saying I’m “pitchy”
That I’ve fallen from grace
If you’ve got a song to sing
Name a time and place
Face to face

I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate,
Sharpay Evs

[GABRIELLA]
Dear Sharpay:

I am not the reason no one likes you
No one likes how you behave
I cannot just go and change the cast list
I’m sorry that you feel betrayed
Even if they said what you think they said
You have always treated everyone with intolerance?
Now you’re not on top, that’s the consequence

[KELSI]
No offense…

[GABRIELLA]
Hey, I used to be shy
Now I soar and fly and you know that I’m 
Tryin’ to do my best for our thee-ate-her
I don’t wanna fight
I’ll see you on stage for opening night

I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate, 
G. Montez

[SHARPAY]
Careful how you proceed miss girl,
Talented as you may be, miss girl
We all know who’s really fit to lead so
You better Practice your high C, miss girl

[GABRIELLA]
Sharpay, your talent is legitimate
I stand by what I said, every bit of it
You sing only for yourself
It’s what you do
I can’t apologize because it’s true

[SHRAPAY]
Then sing, Gabriella
The auditorium. Lunch
Same old rules

[GAB]
You’re on

[GABRIELLA & SHARPAY]
I have the honor to be Your friend and classmate,

[GABRIELLA]
G. Montez

[SHARPAY]
Sharpay Evs.


Your Friend and Classmate (Your Obedient Servant)

It's Quiet at Chad's

[TROY]
Gabriella, come back to lunch

[GAB]
I have rehearsal on the stage right now

[TROY]
But it’s lunch time

[GAB]
I know. I just need to go over my lines

[TROY]
How do you rehearse til your vocal cords will burst?

[GAB]
Troy… 

[TROY]
Come sit with me. That would be enough

[GAB]
I’ll see you soon on the stage

[TROY]
Come back to eat

[GAB]
Kelsi’s waiting on me

[TROY]
Well, I’m going back to eat

[GAB ]
Hey. Best of boys and best of Boltons
