SIDE 1

Where's my team, Darbus?! And what the heck are they doing here?!?

(The STUDENTS are frozen by COACH BOLTON's anger.)
 

I run my detention my way; you can run yours your way.
 

(points to TROY and CHAD)
You two, into the gym, right now.

(TROY and CHAD run out.)

(to STUDENTS)
Detention is over for today. I expect to see some of you tomorrow afternoon at the auditions. Please remember to be on time. Scoot, now. You've all done wonderfully!

(The STUDENTS pull their phones from the bucket and exit. SHARPAY lags behind to eavesdrop.)

(to MS. DARBUS)
I need my star players in practice, not detention!

Why should athletes get preferential treatment?

I'm trying to teach these kids about having a goal, about teamwork, something they can use as adults.

Which is precisely what I am trying to do.

How, by making them scream at the top of their lungs?!?

Philistine!

Crack pot!

(MS. DARBUS bangs her gong. COACH BOLTON blows his whistle. They exit in opposite directions.)

SIDE 2

How dare you? How dare you!!??
 

Boys, practice is over. Hit the showers. Now.

(The JOCKS run off.)
 

A very reliable source has told me that you and your all-star son are planning some kind of practical joke in my chapel of the arts. But I won't allow Juliet and Romeo to be made into a farce
 

(tries to stifle a laugh)
Juliet and Romeo???
