Currently in the process of transcribing.CUT TO: EXT. EAST HIGH, DAY

”Disney Channel Original Movie” and the “High School Musical 2” logo appear on screen over a swooping shot of East High.

CUT TO: INT. EAST HIGH

The screen fades to an empty East High Cafeteria, gym, auditorium, and hallway.

CUT TO: INT. MISS DARBUS’ HOMEROOM, DAY

The students sit at their desks as Miss Darbus gives a speech. Zeke sits in the front with a dunce cap.

MISS DARBUS: You must remember, young thespians, learning is never seasonal. So, do allow the shimmering lights of summer to refresh and illuminate...

CHAD: What's she talking about?

MISS DARBUS: ...your fertile young minds. The future greets you with its magic mirror, (a shot of the ticking clock) reflecting each golden moment, (Troy looks back at Gabriella) each emboldened choice.

TROY: (to Chad) Dude, Miss Darbus has snapped her cap.

CHAD: Dude, you're actually listening?

Jason raises his hand.

MISS DARBUS: Yes, Jason.
JASON: So, what was your favourite summer memory, Miss Darbus?

The class groans.

MISS DARBUS: Summers have passed fleetingly since I was your age, but I remember each with poignant clarity. There was that unforgettable...

CHAD: Summer.

CHAD & MARTHA: Summer. Summer. Summer

KELSI: Summer.

CHAD: Summer.

GABRIELLA: Summer.

CLASS: Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer. Summer.

The class throws up their school papers and rush out the classroom door as the clock strikes the time of release.What Time Is It?As the class celebrates, Chad grabs Miss Darbus, spins her around, and gives her a kiss on the cheek. Chad bounces a ball to Troy and they grip hands as they stand up. Chad jumps on a desk and leads the number.

Sharpay signs yearbooks. Chad throws a ball backwards and Ryan looks disgusted as it touches him. Troy high-fives a Wildcat. A student rolls out a chalkboard reading “School’s Out!!!”. As Ryan and Sharpay sturt out the classroom, Sharpay gives Troy a little wave, which he returns. As the students exit out, Troy is left at his desk. He turns his attention to Gabriella, who takes his hand and they exit the classroom. Miss Darbus slams a pile of books on Jason's desk to wake him up.

The musical number cuts to the East High Hallways, where the students dance as they run down the halls. Troy and Gabriella lead the way and she jumps on his back.

The musical number cuts to the Sharpay and Ryan, who are sign yearbooks and take photos with students. Zeke follows Sharpay with his yearbook open to the “Wildcats Play” page, which features Ryan and Sharpay performing “Bop to the Top”. She signs his book and gives it a kiss. Zeke hugs the book with a look of joy on his face.
In the hallway, Chad dances with cheerleaders. On the stairs, Troy leads Gabriela down the stairs. They pass by Sharpay and Ryan, who shut the door on a photographer and they run up the stairs, only to run into more photographers.

Troy, Chad, and other students perform a synchronized basketball dance routine in the hall. They dribble and bounce the balls high and clap under their legs. Forming a single line behind Troy, they reach out with their basketballs. Students dance in the halls and a girl does a flip. In a single file line, the students sway, one after another in a wave-like motion.

In the cafeteria, they dance in sync as the marching band plays. At the end of the song, they hug each other and celebrate.

TROY: (as he slides on the floor)Yeah!

CUT TO: INT. EAST HIGH HALLWAYS, DAY

TROY: No, but seriously, guys, this summer I gotta make bank. My parents keep talking about how much college is gonna cost.

ZEKE: Yeah, my folks are gonna match whatever I make, but I gotta get hired first.

CHAD: Me, too. I'm saving up for a car, (Taylor and Martha walk past), so I can take that little hottie on a proper date.

Gabriella walks past Sharpay’s locker. Sharpay grabs her arm.

SHARPAY: Gabriella, I understand you've moved every summer for the past five years, and I'd hate to think today is goodbye.

GABRIELLA: No worries. My mom promised I'm here until graduation next year.

SHARPAY: Bless Mom's little heart.

Sharpay turns around and fixes her hair.
GABRIELLA: Sharpay, we got off to a rough start, but you really came through. (Gabriella taks Sharpay’s hand and she turns around again.) I mean, you helped me with the winter musical.

SHARPAY: (with a confused look) I did?

(Sharpay glances down and quickly releases Gabriella’s hand.)

GABRIELLA: Those vocal exercises?

Gabriella does the vocal exercises Sharpay and Ryan use. Sharpay is startled and backs up against the lockers.

GABRIELLA: (waving kindly and turning away) See you.

Sharpay glares.

In another part of the hallway, Martha and Taylor walk together.

TAYLOR: Gabriella and I have had, like, five job interviews, but we keep getting beat out by college kids.

MARTHA: Yeah, same here. I guess I'm back in the babysitting business.

KELSI: (joining the girls) Hey, Martha. Hey, Taylor.

MARTHA: Hey, Kelsi, what are you planning to do this summer?

KELSI: Grow, write music. Grow.

Martha laughs. Troy runs past the girls to a connecting hallway that leads him to Gabriella’s locker.

TROY: Your summer activities consultant has arrived.

GABRIELLA: Hopefully some of those activities will include a job.

TROY: Hey, whatever happens, as long as we're together, it's cool, right?

GABRIELLA: You promise?

TROY: Here's my promise.

Troy stands behind Gabriella and puts a pendant necklace around her neck with the letter “T”. Gabriella touches the necklace.

Taylor and Chad turn the corner and see the couple.

GABRIELLA: (turning back to look at Troy) "T" as in Troy?

TROY: (nodding) Well, I... Yeah.

As the couple is about to kiss, a younger student holds out a yearbook for Troy to sign.

TROY: (to the student) Hey, man, how's it going? (Troy signs the yearbook) There you go, boss.

The couple leans in to kiss once again, but are interrupted by Chad.

CHAD: Hoops. Let's go.

TROY: Yeah, sure, sure.(pointing between himself and Gabriella) We're not busy or anything. Let's go.

Taylor and Gabriella share a look and the group of friends all start walking.

TROY: (holding Gabriella’s hand) We could go to the movies, download music. Oh, I'm definitely teaching you a twisted-flip on the skateboard.

GABRIELLA: Oh, and I have first-aid training, so I can patch myself up afterwards.

TROY: All right!

Troy laughs and they pass by Sharpay’s locker. Sharpay looks onward.

SHARPAY: (in a mocking tone) "Going to movies, listening to music.” "And, golly, Troy, I have first-aid training." (in her normal voice) Oh, please. (turning to Kelsi and putting a hand on her shoulder) Oh. Come here, Kelsi. I have a summer job for you. At our country club, our rehearsal pianist is evidently moving.

KELSI: (with wide eyes)Or hiding.

SHARPAY: (turning around) Pardon?

KELSI: Sounds great!

Kelsi turns and leaves.

RYAN: (putting a hand on her shoulder) Cheer up, Shar, it's summer. We can do whatever we want to. Everything changes.

SHARPAY: Ryan, who's the absolute primo boy at East High?

RYAN: I'd say, uh, Troy Bolton has that category pretty much locked up, don't you think?

SHARPAY: (crossing her arms) And East High's primo girl?

Ryan leans sideways to look down the hall.

SHARPAY: (in an angry tone) Just answer the question!

RYAN: Gosh, uh, you?

Sharpay smirks and Ryan looks to the side.

SHARPAY: Troy, Sharpay. Sharpay, Troy. Sharpay...

RYAN: (snapping his fingers) Shar.

SHARPAY: (defensively) It just makes sense.

RYAN: (giving an awkward look to the side) Evidently not to Troy.

SHARPAY: But it's summer, Ry. (Sharpay puts on sunglasses) Everything changes.

Sharpay shuts her locker and walks off. Ryan takes a long, deep breath, then shakes his head and follows.

CUT TO: EXT. EAST HIGH, DAYWhat Time Is It? (Cont.)Students rush outside where the marching band forms a circle around the fountain. Surrounding them, the students dance and sing.

The students disperse as a school bus pulls up.

CUT TO: EXT. BOLTON HOME, DAY

CUT TO: INT. BOLTON KITCHEN, DAY

Coach Bolton leads Troy, Zeke, Chad, and Jason into the kitchen.

TROY: Nice workout. I'm starving.

COACH BOLTON: Me, too. I'll tell you what. I'm seeing moves I didn't see last season. Keep it coming, guys!

CHAD: Yeah. What team?

ALL: Wildcats!

ZEKE: (pulling a gallon of milk out of the fridge and tossing it to Troy) Yo, time for milk.

COACH BOLTON: So, guys, how's the job hunt coming?

ZEKE: The big zero.

The basketball players take waters out of the fridge. Troy’s phone rings and he steps away.

CHAD: Uh, oh. Girlfriend alert.

TROY: (to the phone) Talk to me.

MR. FULTON: This is Thomas Fulton, General Manager of Lava Springs Country Club here in Albuquerque. I understand you've been looking for summer work.

ZEKE: Hey, Troy, does Gabriella still remember your name, or did she find somebody new to karaoke with this summer?

The guys laugh and Coach Bolton points to Zeke.

TROY: (into the phone) That sounds fantastic, Mr Fulton, but how did you get my name?

MR. FULTON: Well, we've always had a student summer work programme here at Lava Springs. So, are you ready?

TROY: Here's the thing. I know the most amazing girl... I mean, student. Straight A's, quintuple straight A's, and it would be so amazingly perfect if… (Troy walks away and continues his phone call)

CHAD: Man, he's really working someone.

COACH BOLTON: It can't be Gabriella. Whenever she calls, he just blushes. (The boys smirk) I never said that.

Coach Bolton and Chad high-five.

TROY: (running back into the room, excitedly) Yes!

Troy jumps up on the kitchen island.

CHAD: What's up, dog?

TROY: Nothing. Nothing. Nothing! (Coach Bolton gives an urging look to Troy)

COACH BOLTON: (unconvinced) Okay. I'll tell you what, you guys stick together this summer, you work on the game, and we are talking back-to-back championships next fall.

Coach Bolton dribbles the ball and the boys cheer. He is about to pass it as his wife walks into the kitchen with a paper bag.

MRS. BOLTON: Woah, woah, woah. Can we all redirect this energy by carrying in the groceries?

ALL: (in unison) Yes, Mrs Bolton.

Coach Bolton hands the basketball over to his wife and they all exit the kitchen.

CUT TO: EXT ROAD, DAY

Sharpay and Ryan ride in a pink convertible car as the radio plays.

RADIO HOST: Hey, we're kicking off another hot summer here in Albuquerque. So, for those cool enough
to have a convertible, crank up the sound, breathe that fresh air and say hello to summer!

Sharpay and Ryan pull up to a gate with the letters “L” and “S”. It opens and they drive in. A valet opens Sharpay’s door and other valets take her belongings.

CHARLES: Miss Evans, Mr. Evans, looking very sharp this summer. Welcome back to Lava Springs.

SHARPAY: Thank you, Charles.

Sharpay hands Charles a travel bag. She takes out her dog, Boi and holds him in her arms. She walks up to Mr. Fulton.

SHARPAY: (speaking to the dog) Hi, Boi! (shouting behind her) Oh, can you find some shade for my car?

MR. FULTON: Even if we have to plant a tree.

SHARPAY: Fulton.

MR. FULTON: And may I say, welcome back.

SHARPAY: (whipping around) It's good to be home.

Mr. Fulton sprays breath freshener into his mouth and behind him valets move Sharpay and Ryans pink luggage.

CUT TO: INT. LAVA SPRINGS LOBBY, DAY

The phone rings and a receptionist picks up. Sharpay, Ryan, and Mr. Fulton walk in.

SHARPAY: Are the flyers ready?

MR. FULTON: (picking up a flyer from the desk) This year we embossed the flyers for the show.

SHARPAY: Inspired.

Sharpay signs a flyer reading “Lava Springs Country Club: Annual Midsummer Night’s Talent Show”.

SHARPAY: Oh, I plan to limit member talent auditions to 30 seconds each. (rolling her eyes) Amateur performers are very...

MR. FULTON:  Draining?

SHARPAY: Yes.

MR. FULTON: (leaning towards Ryan) Understood.

SHARPAY: (grabbing a trophy) And should I… (Ryan clears his throat) --we! Be so fortunate as to win the Star Dazzle Award again. But where would we put it? (Sharpay looks at shelves full of identical Star Dazzle awards)

MR. FULTON: We're planning on expanding the trophy case. The designs are in my office.

SHARPAY: (handing the trophy to Mr. Fulton) Fulton, you are so efficient.

MR. FULTON: (in a gratifying tone) Well…

Mr. Fulton hands the trophy to Ryan, who holds it and looks at it, adoringly. Sharpay pulls Mr. Fulton aside.

SHARPAY: The staffing matter we discussed?

MR. FULTON: Done. With discretion.

SHARPAY: Fabulous.

Sharpay and Mr. Fulton walk off. Left alone, Ryan enacts accepting the award.

RYAN: Oh, stop it. Yes.

SHARPAY: (yelling from offscreen) Ryan!

Ryan puts down the trophy and hurries to Sharpay.

CUT TO: EXT. LAVA SPRINGS POOL AREA, DAY

Sharpay is wearing a bathing suit and floppy hat and carrying two large pink bags and is followed by Ryan, wearing a polo shirt, board shorts, and flip flops.

EMMA, JACKIE, LEA: Sharpay!

SHARPAY: Girls!

Sharpay’s friends follow her.

JAVIER: (as Sharpay hands him the bag with Boi) Your chaise in its usual spot, Miss Evans?

SHARPAY: (as they walk) Thank you, Javier. Emma, Jackie and Lea, east of me. Oh, and you'll be a prince to angle our chaises on the hour, as the sun moves.

JAVIER: Well, thanks to the kind words from your mother last season, I've been promoted. But, no worries, I'll make sure that the new lifeguard is fully briefed on just how you like things.

Javier puts the bag with Boi down. Sharpay sits down on a pink lounge chair and adjusts her hat. Emma, Jackie, and Lea sit beside her on one lounge chair. Ryan throws his hands up.

EMMA: So, what's the theme of the summer talent show, Sharpay?

SHARPAY: Redemption.

LEA: Love it.

SHARPAY: It was a very trying year, ladies. My drama department was invaded by outsiders. (Lea puts her hand to her chest) Singers coming from the chemistry lab and locker room. Shocking, really.

The girls shake their heads.

RYAN: Sis, we've got the pool, the entire club, and the whole summer to enjoy it.

EMMA: And the spa has been redone.

JACKIE: There's a guacamole facial and a seaweed body scrub on the menu.

LEA: What could be more fabulous?

A waiter brings Sharpay a blue drink with an umbrella.

SHARPAY: (in an annoyed tone) More ice.

WAITER: Right away, Miss Evans.

Ryan and the girls sit on chaises as a piano begins to play.FabulousSharpay motions the words she sings with her hands. A fantasy version of Ryan, dressed in a white tuxedo and pink tie plays piano in the pool. Javier takes Sharpay’s sunglasses and a waiter shows Sharpay some turkey on a platter. Sharpay motions to the employees to fetch her things.

Sharpay, Ryan, and the girls dance on their chairs synchronously, waving their arms and kicking their legs. They stand up and Sharpay walks over to her friends, giving each a command. She knocks a beach ball out of Emma’s hands.
