GINA: Previously on High School Musical:
The Musical: The Series...

Valentine's Day is a made-up holiday

that I choose not to recognize.

I don't need to pop out of a locker...

(SCREAMS)

Or give out expensive gifts...

It's a sled!

Or write someone a special song.

(SINGING) I hold you in my heart

It's you

And honestly...

Chocolate gives me heartburn.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

I just can't believe
you're leaving again today.

Two home-cooked dinners
together wasn't enough.

I know. It was a crazy-short
Valentine's weekend, right?

I wish I could be there
to see you off, but, you know...

Yeah, I know. School, rehearsals...

Amongst other things.

I literally can't find anything
in this new apartment!

Oh.

Let me guess, you're looking
for the orange hoodie?

How'd you know?

I stole it, Ricky.

It gets cold in Denver.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay. All right.
That's actually really sweet.

You know, you don't have to keep
putting on a smile for me.

If this long-distance thing
is getting hard, we can talk about that.

I'm smiling because
I'm happy for you. Okay?

Just promise me
we'll keep Facetiming every day.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) You always ask that.

Yeah, well,
I've always got time for your face.

-Oh.
-(RICKY CHUCKLES)

Safe travels today. Okay?

And don't you forget about,
you know, Salt Lake.

Impossible. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

Okay, everyone, gather around.

We have got a two-hour window
before the storm is expected to hit,

and I intend to use every minute of it.

Big, splashy group numbers
always succeed at the Menkie Awards.

So we need to workshop a punchy,

breathtaking number that will
put us in the number one spot.

As our head choreographer,

I am so happy to announce
that today we will,

at last, begin rehearsing
one of the most showstopping,

iconic, and bar-raising
numbers of the entire show.

Be Our Guest.

Yeah, it's Be Our Guest, guys.

What?

Look, I know I asked Gina
to be my co-choreographer,

but I kinda meant it like,

"I'm the choreographer
and she's the co-choreographer."

Like how there's a pilot and a co-pilot.

He called me his "co-pilot"?

When I finally agreed
to being a co-choreographer,

I thought that meant we'd be equals.

You know, and by equal, I mean,

I would choreograph most of the show
and he'd, I don't know, clap.

Before we begin,

I'm going to tell you
a little story about hospitality.

-Maybe we should... Okay.
-Once when I was a little girl,

my mom and I heard
a clatter come from the kitchen.

We thought it was a burglar.

So my mom ran over, hog-tied the man,
and promptly called the police.

(GASPS)

As we waited for the cops to come,

I watched my mother place a bowl
of iced tea next to his face.

"Because," she said,

"until the police come and get him,
he's still our guest."

So, did he, like, get arrested or...

No. Turns out, it wasn't a burglar at all,

just a repairman
who entered the wrong unit.

But the point remains the same.

Just like our intruder,

we need to make Belle
and our entire audience feel welcome.

And with that,
Carlos and Gina, take it away.

-(CLAPPING)
-MISS JEN: Oh.

Thank you, Miss Jenn,
that wasn't terrifying at all.

(LAUGHS)

Okay, so, (CHUCKLES)

my vision to make this dance
really soar is to stage...

wait for it, a Cancan-style dance
that features a feather-dusting spectacle.

I don't know, it'll probably
go a little something like...

(STUDENTS EXCLAIMING)

-Absolutely!
-Oh? All right.

KOURTNEY: Yes, Gina! (LAUGHS)

Interesting. I had a different path

that's a little more
elevated and less basic.

Think. A noir-inspired performance

that Lumiere guides
our audience through the entire time.

M'kay. But I actually
spent a month in France once,

so I kinda know this dance inside out.

And I choreographed all three
of my sister's quinceañera dances,

despite not getting one for myself,

so I think I know how to twirl
with a salad fork, okay?

-Hmm.
-Okay! You know what?

Let's stick a pin in Be Our Guest
and brush up on Gaston.

EJ and Big Red,
to the front of the room, please.

Wait, where's EJ?

Yo! I think the feather duster
brigade sounded cool.

Really-really?

Yeah. What, do I need to send you a random
box of chocolates to prove it?

(SIGHS)

Sick burn.

Yes. Yes, I misinterpreted
the whole chocolates thing.

I guess my mom decided not
to send me a stuffed bear after all.

Thanks, Mom.

So yeah, I sent an embarrassing
text on Valentine's Day,

but Ricky and I totally cleared it up.

Obviously, I would never step
on what he has with Nini.

It's all good. It's actually kind
of a running joke now between us.

It's funny.

(ASHLYN CHUCKLES)

What's this sick burn?

It's nothing.

Okay, well, if anyone sees EJ,

would you please tell him
that rehearsals are mandatory,

even for soon-to-be college students

who are obviously
suffering from senioritis.

(GASPS) Nini!

I don't wanna interrupt.

I just needed one more group hug.

-(NINI CHUCKLES)
-Hugs available!

-(NINI SQUEALING)
-(RICKY GRUNTS)

I thought you'd be on the road
back to YAC by now.

Well, I wanted to see the whole crew
one more time, so I got a later bus.

Plus, I had to bring you this.

Oh.

Okay. Well, that should help me
get through the month of March.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Oh, no. My driver just canceled
because of the snow,

and the next car is 20 minutes away.

Great. Watch me literally
not make it back to school.

Hey, I mean, you want me to drive you?

I could grab Big Red's car.

Maybe, steal a kiss
for the month of April.

Nonsense, honey,
we're still in the middle of rehearsal.

I can take you to the bus station
and then zip back to school.

Sound good?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, that works.

Listen up, everyone.

I am going to step out for a little while
to make sure that Nini catches her bus.

Please go back to workshopping
Be Our Guest concepts until I return,

and find a path forward.

I've asked Mr. Mazzara to pop in.

(ALL YELP)

And make sure that you don't
get too rowdy while I'm gone.

Thank you, Benjamin.

Miss Jenn and I are colleagues.

No, we never quite shared a slice
at the pizza shop last week,

but we share an understanding,
and that's enough.

That's enough.

EJ?

Hey. Everything cool?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excellent.

Okay. Well, uh, it's nice to see you.

I didn't get into Duke.

EJ, I... I'm really...

I'm so sorry.

I mean, I'm sure you got into a ton
of other schools, though, right?

(SCOFFS)

One state school.

And I'm grateful for that, I am,

but my grandparents met at Duke.

My parents met at grad school there.

We're a Duke family.

(SIGHS) I mean, I thought it was a lock.

What am I gonna tell my dad?

I get it.

If it helps, sometimes dream schools
are a little overrated.

What does that mean?

Nini! Let's roll.

Trust the outcome.

Has anyone seen EJ?

Everybody, listen up.

Great news.

Gina and I agreed
to joint custody of you all.

Oh, so who gets us on weekends?

We're gonna workshop our Be Our Guest
visions on you guys separately

before adding the dancers.

The winning version will then be
decided in an anonymous vote.

Fun and easy.

(SOFTLY) Yay.

(ENGINE STALLING)

MISS JENN: Come on, Bernadette.
Work with me.

Don't worry, we're already halfway
to the bus station. We'll be fine.

She's prone to stalling in the cold.

But she always comes around.

Even when she's scared.

-We still talking about the car?
-(ENGINE STALLING)

If I don't make it back to Denver tonight,

-I'll miss class in the morning.
-(DIALING)

And I already missed
Friday and they're, like,

crazy about the attendance.

-I might even get kicked out.
-(LINE RINGING)

You are not getting
kicked out of that school.

OPERATOR: Thank you for calling Triple-A.

-We are experiencing high call volume.
-(SIGHS)

Don't fret. We'll get you back
where you belong.

This number was inspired
by my second-oldest sister's quince.

Theme, sultry jazz.

Sebastian, you may begin.

-(PLAYING PIANO)
-(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

Oh, what was that?

-(THUDDING)
-KOURTNEY: Ooh!

Maybe a power line went down.

Oh, no, you guys. I missed an alert
from my Farmer's Alman-app.

Salt Lake just got
half a foot in half an hour.

(SCOFFS) My dad says the roads
are completely closed.

CARLOS: Oh, my gosh,
you guys, get out here!

This is insane!

Are we the only ones stuck at school?

Looks like every other club went home.

Should I check on Nini?
I'm checking on Nini.

I don't mind the idea of being
stuck together all night.

Maybe we should
hold each other for warmth?

Okay, you guys.

(SIGHS) Listen up, folks.

We need to act fast and gather
supplies in case this gets worse.

(SCOFFS) Love the commitment, Gina,
but I don't think it's that serious.

Rehearsal can wait. Follow my lead.

Contact your parents every half hour,

but conserve your phone batteries.

Waters, flashlights. Let's move, people.

(ASHLYN SQUEALING AND GIGGLING)

See ya!

What? How did we move back in the queue?

An ice cream truck accident?

Who is eating ice cream today,
of all days? (CHUCKLES)

-(LINE DISCONNECTS)
-Yeah, hello? Hello? Oh, come on!

-Miss Jenn, I'm so sorry if I...
-No, no, no, I'm sorry.

You need to get back
so you can do fabulous things

and be the star that you are.

Tell me what you'd be doing
if you were back right now.

Oh, well, Mondays aren't the greatest.

-Nonsense.
-Um...

Well, I guess it'd almost be dinner time,

so I'd be heading
to the dining hall in silence.

-"Silence"?
-Yeah, uh, muted Mondays.

We're not supposed
to over-exert our voices.

Our teachers say
if we're too loud as ourselves,

we'll drown out our characters.

Okay. What else?

Uh, it'd probably be snowing,

so I guess that's not so different.

It's sort of the only thing
that makes me feel at home.

So maybe I'd drink some tea.

No hot chocolate when it snows?

Uh, no, hot chocolate
is on the Y-A-C N-A-Y list.

"Never At YAC."

Um, it causes inflammation and puffiness,
so everyone kind of avoids it.

Oh.

Then, after dinner is bedtime.

Must be like a slumber party every night.

Uh, yeah, it's actually pretty low-key.

Whispering is bad for the voice,
so it's kinda very, very quiet.

I see.

And then I'll listen to Fiona Apple
and try to fall asleep,

so I can put on
my best face in the morning.

Honey, are you okay?

Mmm-hmm.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

Tow truck will be here in 25 minutes.

-Oh, good.
-Is it?

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

BIG RED: It is such a bad idea.

RICKY: She wants me to tell her
how I feel!

Oh, Gina, perfect. We need a girl's
point of view on something.

-Dude, don't!
-Ricky wants to text something so dumb

to Nini, and I'm telling him not to.

-Dude, it's not...
-What's the text?

-Big Red!
-He wants to tell her

that he's happy
she's following her dreams,

but also he wishes that he was her dream,

and wants her to turn around
right now and come back here.

I believe the word he used was "forever."

Mmm, yeah, don't ever text that.

Or say it out loud, for that matter. Ever.

Thanks. And sorry.

We didn't mean to suck you
into a whole thing.

Nah, it's all good.
I'm honestly glad I ran into you.

I found part of a Twix bar near my locker,

and I can only assume
it's your latest Valentine to me.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
I go big, Gina. You know that.

Biggie, there you are.

Way to abandon the fam in a crisis!

(CHUCKLES) We're coming now.

-Told you it was a bad idea.
-Whatever. Shut up.

Hey! What'd I miss?

Not now, please.

(CELL PHONE BEEPS)

(SIGHS) I'm not getting any bars.

KOURTNEY: Try a different angle!

There's only so many ways
a human arm can bend.

Oh, please, you have no idea

how much my human spine
is bending right now.

Why are we doing this?

Because I left my flashcards
at the pizza shop,

and I need someone to take
a picture of it and text it to me.

Kourtney doesn't fail tests.

But if it's your phone,
why do I have to be the one up here?

Because you said you got struck
by lightning that one time on your farm.

So that makes you a better power
conductor than me. Ow!

I'm not a cell phone tower.

And I'm not a body builder.
But we're both doing our best here.

Hi. I need everyone
in the rehearsal room, pronto.

It's the closest thing
we have to a bomb shelter.

-Because it's a bomb shelter.
-Oh, but we...

The less I know, the better.
Where are the others?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

MISS JEN: I know they're in here.

Ah!

I always keep a fun-size
bag for emergencies.

Miss Jenn, there's a fine line between
fun and completely freaked out.

I live on that line.

It's just...

There are a million
things to be grateful for.

Like so many kids would kill
to get into a school like YAC.

My moms worked so hard to pay for it,

and Ricky's proud,
and my friends and everyone just...

Honey.

All of those people
just want you to be happy.

Miss Jenn, when did you realize that
Broadway wasn't your dream anymore?

Uh...

I was at an open call for the original
cast of Frozen, on Broadway.

And I was sitting next to a girl
who was auditioning for Young Elsa.

Well, Young Elsa was nervous.

So, I was giving her a pep talk,

and then she threw up
all over my sheet music.

(LAUGHS) Wow.

Yep.

But I realized in that moment
that I was more worried

about Young Elsa than the audition.

And I looked down, and the only words

that were still visible
on my music were "Let It Go."

The next day, my mother texted me

that East High was looking
for a new drama teacher,

and I found a new dream.

Oh! Our ride's here. We're saved.
(CHUCKLES)

Caswell, you're not cavorting
with the other show people.

Not really in a cavorting mood.

Something you wanna talk about?

No.

Do you know where the finest place
in the world is to study robotics?

Stark Industries?

Caltech. I applied four and a half times.
Never made the cut.

A half?

The point is, it was all I ever wanted,
all my dad ever wanted for me too.

I guess you heard about Duke.

Yeah, I might have heard
something in the counselor's office.

EJ, you are a top student
from a successful family,

and a three-season varsity athlete.
You check all the boxes.

That's not enough?

A lot of people check
a lot of boxes these days.

I read your essay.

It was strong,
but it was a little surface.

I'm not sure that Duke
knew what your story was.

Apparently, neither do I.

Well, son, you are welcome to hang out
in the AV club whenever you want,

telling stories is all we do there.

It's up to you though.

Hey, Mister M.

Do you still think about Caltech?

Not as much anymore.

How many hours have we been here?

All of them.

Anyone wanna play Charades again?

(ALL GROANING)

Sounds like no.

You guys,
if we eventually run out of food,

I just wanna say, you can eat me first.

-SEB: Dude...
-I probably taste like pizza.

Hey, whose phone charger is this?

I'm at 6%. You wanna fight me for it?

You guys, this cabin fever isn't good.

What would Miss Jenn do right now?

I wanna say hog-tie a stranger.

-Yep. Probably.
-Where are our choreographers?

Shouldn't we be rehearsing a song?

I wanna believe they're quietly working
out their differences somewhere.

Have you met Carlos?

Maybe they're already laughing about it.

I'm not yelling! I'm saying, with passion,

that the song is called Be Our Guest,
not Be Babette the Feather Duster's Guest.

Why don't you just choreograph
the whole show yourself,

and we'll call it a day?

(SIGHS) Stop! That's not what I'm saying!

I need you!

Do you know how freaked out I am to be
even appearing on stage this semester?

Nobody outside of my family, and Seb,

and my Barbies
has ever seen me sing and dance.

I'm a behind-the-scenes guy.

You wouldn't understand that,
you're in the scene.

No, I'm a change-of-scene.

I'm living in a house I don't own,

playing a supporting role I didn't want,

and I'm still just trying to figure out
who I wanna be at this school.

And I'm sorry
but you wouldn't understand that.

You think I don't know what it's like

to try and figure out
who I'm supposed to be?

Look around you, Gina.

There's not, like,
a ton of me in this school.

Do you have any idea how excited I was

to meet someone who loves dance as much
as I do? And I'm already blowing it.

Carlos, I didn't mean...

Look, it's just a really confusing time,
and it's not about you.

So, we can do the dance however
it makes you comfortable. I mean it.

Okay. But who?

What?

If it's not about me,
then who is it about?

I didn't say it was a who.

You didn't say it wasn't.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

It doesn't matter.

Okay.

But you do matter.

Try to remember that, okay?

(CHUCKLES) I'll try.

-It's nice to feel quiet for a second.
-Mmm.

HOWIE: Excuse me!

Any idea where Kourtney Greene might be?

(SNIFFING)

Wait, do you guys smell that?

-Yeah, sorry.
-ASHLYN AND KOURTNEY: Ugh!

No, no, it's my
Grandpa Noah's pizza recipe.

Dude, don't you even
joke about that, okay?

I'm so hungry, I actually would eat you.

-(DOOR OPENS)
-GINA: Ladies and gentlemen...

CARLOS: We present to you...

A miracle in the snow.

-Howie!
-ASHLYN: Yes!

How? How did you get here?

BIG RED: I will take it...

(EXCITED CHATTER)

ASHLYN: Okay, all right, all right.
One, two, three.

-(ASHLYN VOCALIZING)
-GINA: Yes!

I didn't think my texts
were going through.

Yeah, I strapped a plow
to the pizza mobile,

took some backroads and,
you know, I'm a lot of man.

(CHUCKLES)
Well, if I carried cash, I'd tip you.

I'll add it to your tab.

If not for the pizza,
then maybe for these?

My cards!

By the way, the rarest natural
occurring element is astatine.

I just thought maybe
you could use a head start.

Hit me up if you ever need a study buddy.

Now I have a tip about your attitude.

Attitude's on the house.

Mmm.

-I'm gonna... Okay.
-Yeah.

EJ, you're alive!

-Technically.
-(COW MOOS ON CELL PHONE)

Everyone! That's was an alert
from my Farmer's Alman-app.

It says that the roads are clear,
and the sheep are in heat!

I should have read
that last part in my head.

ASHLYN: Yeah.
RICKY: Let's go!

-Wow!
-BIG RED: Jeez!

Miss Jenn just dropped
Nini off at the bus terminal.

Big Red, can I borrow your car?

Thanks. Later.

Hey. You want a ride home?

You know, 'cause you never get to see me.

Yeah, sure.

Um, so what did happen back there?

With Ricky or with Carlos?

I'll take either.

I...

Yeah, I guess I'm still figuring that out.

Do you wanna talk about...

Nini!

-Hi.
-(CHUCKLES)

(EXHALES)

You're still leaving.

You're still smiling.

-Are you okay?
-(SIGHS)

Is there something you're not saying?

-Did you bring your snow globe?
-Of course.

(NINI CHUCKLES)

Then you got everything you need.

ANNOUNCER:
Last bus to Denver now boarding.

Last bus to Denver now boarding.

NINI: (SINGING)
How can something shake up

Every dream I hoped for?

Wakin' up to everything
Around me turned cold?

Mm-mm-mm

Don't wanna go back
To second guessin' that world

But all I've left behind
Has got me feelin' so torn

Mm-mm-mm

Am I takin' it for granted

Everything that I've been granted

I keep lyin' awake with these
Dreams in the dead of the night

'Cause somethin' don't feel right

Will I take it all for granted

And be leaving emptyhanded?

Oh, I feel shaken

Everything's changin'

Within me

I let my heart lead me home
'Cause I can't do this anymore

Tryin' to be somebody else

If I never left, I never know

Just how far I didn't have to go
To finally feel like myself

Am I takin' it for granted

Everything that I've been granted

I keep lyin' awake with these
Dreams in the dead of the night

'Cause somethin' don't feel right

I won't take it all for granted

And be leavin' empty-handed

Oh, I feel shaken

Everything's changin'

Within me

Am I takin' it for granted

(GASPS) Oh, thank goodness.

I thought you were another
scary ghost girl.

-What?
-Nothing.

Honey, what happened?
Did the bus get stuck in the ice?

No, um, the bus is fine, Miss Jenn.

I just, um...

I couldn't go back.

I mean, they have a fancy campus,
and fancy teachers,

but the one thing they don't have is...

Ricky.

You.

This.

Kourtney, and Gina, and Ashlyn,
and yes, Ricky and Big Red.

And EJ, and Carlos, and Seb.

This is my home.

And, I mean, it's crazy,
'cause I used to feel trapped here, but...

Today I was really sorry I wasn't.

(CHUCKLES)

(MISS JENN SIGHS)

So...

What's the new dream?

Is it okay if I don't know yet?

Come on. Let me give you a ride home.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey! Before you say anything,

I hope you're having a great trip.

But since you asked, I do
wanna be honest with you. Always.

-Ricky, I'm not...
-The truth is...

-I have to tell you something.
-I miss you so much.

And I wish you were staying
home with me forever.

I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

Ricky, where are you right now?

Home, why?

(CHUCKLES)

Stay there.
