It's so exciting.

Just the greatest drummer in Austin.

I don't know if I'm the greatest.

Not you.

Lawrence will the drum machine.

As an old school rocker, I'm opposed to haircuts, the man, and a machine making

music. But that box rocks.

Okay, we already have a drum machine, Lawrence, and it's mom drives you to

soccer.

I can build this thing to replace you, buddy. Good.

The Freddy 5000 has nothing to do with you.

Wow. It's like Freddy, but 5 ,000 times better.

Okay, at least it doesn't have my hair. Actually, it does.

No machine could come close to Fred... OMG, it's so adorable.

I want to hug it.

And while humans get tired, nothing can stop the Freddy 5000.

Really.

I see you found its flaw.

Like so many other drummers that went out smashed on the floor.

So now we can go back to rockin' old school.

Actually, not yet. I have to hit the little rocker's room.

Principal Mullins is coming down the hall.

Why did the alarm go off?

Stall her!

Okay, everybody, we're in.

Did you disconnect the security system to plug in your drum machine? That is so

irresponsible. Nobody's cell phone's plugged in. Oh, it's mine.

In my defense, I got mad before I knew I was the problem.

Jeff Garmolin!

It's Garmolin!

Um, I need to talk to you.

But not here. Too many people around.

But there's no one.

Are you sharpening these, Freddy?

This is another great argument for the drum machine.

Stupid drum machine!

This is better.

So, what did you want to tell me?

Wait!

Principal Mullins!

I just remembered what I wanted to say.

No. And that's why there are two I's in Hawaii.

Excuse me, Mr. Finn.

Oh, Principal Mullins, what a surprise.

We had no idea you were going to come visit our class. Why would we? It's not

if we keep tabs on your movements.

Why would I even say that?

Attendance has been down the last two dances. So to get more kids on the dance

floor for the fall dance... We found a little money in the budget to really

goose up the fun factor.

We're going to allow the whip, the nay -nay, oh, but not the stanky leg.

Consider our fun factors officially goosed. High five.

Oh, no, Mr. Finn, this is a workplace, not a dog track.

Okay.

The dancers here are so lame.

Yeah, they always let Clark be the DJ.

Yo, everybody!

I wish we could play the fall dance.

Why can't we?

If I know one thing, if you get the chance to rock, you rock!

Except when you need to keep the band a secret from everyone at school, and the

dance is...

cool to play in front of everyone.

They wouldn't have to know it's us. Just seeing our skull rock out to our music

would be enough.

What if we wear disguises like Daft Punk or Kiss?

No costume.

As manager of the band, I still say it's too risky.

I guess it's okay.

Kale already asked me if I would dance with her on Saturday, so it would be

pretty hard if I was playing in the band.

in mind last night.

Tamika, you are so funny.

And Summer, you are so smart.

You're both just amazing people.

Bye.

She's a monster.

I don't know. She seems pretty nice.

That's what makes her so terrible.

I wanted Freddie to dance with me. Not her.

It's just a dance.

Don't you...

how you feel. Come on, girl up.

I'm going to next time I see him. Really?

Here he comes. Now's your chance.

Hey, Freddy.

Hey, Tamika. Summer.

Freddy, I, uh...

She's training for 5K.

Mr. Finn. What's up, Freduardo?

Maybe you can help me. Kale seems really excited about us dancing together.

Sorry, buddy. I'm not dancing with you.

Not you and me.

Me and Kale dancing.

Oh. Yeah, she keeps talking about it, and now that School of Rock is playing,

can't dance with her.

So how do I get out of it without hurting her feelings?

I think you're talking to the right guy.

I'm a bit of an expert in this area.

Being smooth with the ladies?

No, getting dumped.

I've lost count of how many women have gotten out of dates with me.

One faked her on death.

Okay, I don't know that. Yeah, yeah, in order to do it right, you kind of need a

grave and a New Orleans -style jazz band.

Guys,

those are rad. Are those the disguises we're going to use to play the dance?

Well, we like these.

But we have one holdout.

Greetings, my fellow Americans.

in a great civil war.

Even with the beard, I can tell it's you, Lawrence.

Who is this Lawrence you speak of?

My name is Abraham something Lincoln.

Ain't gonna happen, Abe.

Okay, everybody, huddle up. Let's go over the plan again.

We all show up to the student council meeting.

We all laugh. Your clever joke about the gavel. Ha ha ha.

But not so much that it seemed to hurt.

Hee hee hee.

Happy.

Then Summer explains the rule that allows the student council to choose the

music. Then I stand up and I nominate School of Rock.

I second it, then I start chanting School of Rock.

And then we play the dance and it's the best one ever.

Okay, let's do this.

Wait to me.

There's one more part of the plan.

What?

I'm going to do it.

Do what?

I'm going to tell Freddy how I feel at the dance.

Oh, down here.

Not in my shoe.

So the judge says, I'm not making a verdict. I'm making a pound cake.

Ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

I'm laughing just the right amount.

Stella, before we begin, do I have time to go to the bathroom?

Oh, sure, Asher. Okay.

All suggestions for musical entertainment.

Freddie!

He didn't even have his hand up. Oh, I saw a hand all right.

Freddie?

Uh,

uh, I second Zach's motion.

He hasn't even made a motion.

Uh, I think what Freddie is trying to say is that there's this new band that

just won Austin's Battle of the Bands, and it's called School of Rock.

Live music, you say?

And what a great name for a band. And how impressive that they won a battle of

the bands.

And... Okay.

the money I borrowed from a guy named the Crippler.

We're not getting paid.

Why didn't I borrow money from a guy named the Cutler?

Oh, no! Principal Mullins!

Okay, everybody, scramble! This is not a drill!

I'll get that for you, Chief. I love that you're such a suck -up.

And that's the story of the man who invented the comma.

Oh, Principal Mullins. What a delight.

Sorry to interrupt.

But Clark here informs me your class has been pulling one over on me.

She knows!

Oh, yes, I know that none of you have signed up for mandatory work shifts at

dance.

What did you think I meant, Lawrence?

That shift thing you were talking about.

I'm very ashamed.

has volunteered to assign each of you a task.

I picked a bunch of very fun jobs to keep you very busy at the dance.

And I'll be watching you every step of the way.

Thank you, Clark. How thoughtful of you. Sorry,

something in my throat. I should probably drink some.

It's a good thing you're not the band.

Otherwise, you'd miss playing the dance.

Clark wins.

People take an interest in discipline.

Clark.

I think Clark's on to us.

Maybe we should do this.

Oh, we're doing this.

We wanted the kids at our school to hear our music. And they're going to.

Who's with me? Me. Me too. I'm in. Let's rock!

What are you...

It's not that I don't want to dance with you.

It's just that I... I'm going to be busy faking my own death.

But your mom's still going to drive me to soccer, right?

Yes.

I'm just trying to figure out what to say to Kale. You better think fast.

There she is.

Need to drop off the grid? I know a guy. Kale will never find you.

Wait, who told you what's going on between...

I'm the school custodian.

No one ever notices me, but I see everything.

Stay strong.

Hey, Kay, I need to tell you something. Oh, Freddie, I cannot wait for Saturday

night. I've been journaling about it nonstop. I now have more pages devoted

dance than I do to compost.

I know how much you love compost.

So much.

I need to tell you that I'm really looking forward to working the ticket

with you at the dance.

I have to get my journal.

The cover has seeds in it, so when I plant it in the ground, my feelings can

blossom.

to his fork in the silverware drawer of life.

You're not gonna say it that way, are you?

No.

Maybe. I don't know.

Hey, sorry I'm late. Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

I made you a boutonniere out of recycled banana peels.

at the beverage table.

Sounds good.

Mr. Finn.

Tamika, didn't see you there.

The disguises are set.

Copy that.

We're going to need to be quick. I haven't seen Clark blink all night.

Of course, we might have been blinking at the same time.

Tamika?

They're free.

Oh, wow, I'm surprised, Zach.

You usually try to make money on these things.

Dude, this is a dance.

Paninis are for the people.

It's hot.

Oh, what's in these?

Ghost peppers, hot sauce, and jalapenos.

Milk, milk, I need milk.

That'll be $7.

The light board is set.

I don't know, Lawrence. Are you sure we can really pull this off?

I can't wait to see School of Rock. Can you?

Oh, can you?

Seems to be getting quite late. I wonder where the band is.

All right, Clark.

They should be playing by now.

DJ Igneous in the house.

Stone cold and ready to spin those wheels of steel.

Slow your roll, LL Uncool J.

all the great bands going a little bit late. They like to build that

anticipation.

I, for one, can't wait to see them take the stage.

Whoever they are.

Unless they're a no -show.

School of Rock!

School of Rock!

School of Rock! School of Rock! Well, if they don't show up soon, Mr. Finn, we

might have a riot on our hands.

And by riot, I mean slight naughtiness.

working again.

I'm obsessed with him.

It's weird.

Yeah, weird.

But she's not with him now.

I just wanted to let you know that I have had a huge crush on you for a long

time now, but never had the courage to tell you how I feel.

I just hope you feel the same way that one day you and I can be boyfriend and

girlfriend. I like you.

Like, like you, like you.

Okay, all right, I gotta go.

Where you been?

I have been looking everywhere for you. I even called my sidekick.

I better cancel him.

Okay, we're good.

I'm glad you found me.

term custodian.

I didn't know the janitor could rock the skins.

You can't. It's my drum machine.

Nice.

I know it's you, and I'll prove it.

Okay, Clark, you stop.
