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

I always assumed that if I got
trapped with a group of people,

I'd be the den mother.

But even though a candle is better
than a feather duster during a blackout...

Gina tried to generate power...

Waters, flashlights...

...in more ways than one,
which I really respect.

Why don't you choreograph
the show yourself?

So, while Nini was off having
a light bulb moment of her own...

When did you realize
that Broadway wasn't your dream anymore?

I'm right here, craving the spotlight.

And a little afraid of it, too.

(SHEEP BLEATING)

(COW MOOING)

Why do I hear sheep but don't see sheep?

Oh, that's Jimmy. He has social anxiety.

Well, I'm team Jimmy.

I don't camp, glamp or sleep
without a silk pillow case.

-NINI: Yes!
-(CHUCKLES)

-(SHEEP BLEATING)
-(GASPS)

-(CHICKEN CLUCKING)
-(LAUGHING)

EJ: Cool.

Listen, I'm sure Seb
and Gina have a good reason

for bringing us to his barn
so late, on a school night.

Not that I mind the romantic setting.

Romantic is debatable.
But I like where you're headed.

Okay, so, we gathered you guys
here tonight 'cause I've got this idea.

And because we only have
48 hours to pull it off,

it's gonna take all of us.

The whole family.

Aw, you guys.

I've only been back for two weeks
and it's the best decision I've ever made.

I'm with my favorite people
in the world doing what I love best.

Coming up with an awesome plan
and then doing it.

Without asking for permission.

Do you have any idea
what we're agreeing to?

-Literally no idea.
-Cool.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

How are we going to pull off the beast
to prince transformation without CGI?

If anybody's good at smoke
and mirrors, it's Miss Jenn.

Last time Miss Jenn brought smoke,
she burned down a building.

(SIGHS) Poor thing. She still flinches
every time I even say the word Lumière.

It's like, "Hello?
These aren't real candles."

(LAUGHS)

Although, speaking of candles,

if they were real,
there would be 16 of them this weekend.

Oh, like the movie?

Well, that movie was about something, Seb.

-Was it candles?
-No, Seb.

Double Hanukkah?

It's my birthday weekend.

But I don't like
just telling people that because, like...

How thirsty am I, you know?

But I'm not above dropping a hint or two.

My love language is riddles.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

Honey, I don't think you're getting this.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Anyway, gotta go to class. See you around.

So, I talked to Gina
and we thought we could throw

a big surprise party
to celebrate the guy Carlos is.

And a quinceañero
he always wanted and never got.

It's a birthday party
but seriously zhuzhed up.

'Cause Carlos is one of the good guys.

Okay, somebody say something
because maybe this is a terrible idea?

It's an amazing idea. I'm in!

-I'm down!
-(ALL CHEER)

(SIGHS IN RELIEF)

-For Carlos.
-ALL: For Carlos!

Whoo!

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY ON SPEAKERS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Two creams, four sugars.
You are so predictable.

I use raw sugar now, Zackey.
So the joke's on you.

Mmm.

It's a matcha latte.
It's considered a more evolved caffeine.

-Mm-hmm.
-You know, we should

really stop meeting up like this.

Then pick another coffee shop, hon.

I was here first.

I always loved your competitive spirit.

The way I would push you,
and then you would push me,

and then I would push you.

You push me,
and then pretty soon it's a... A salsa.

Those hips, they never lie.

(MISS JENN GRUNTS)

Your little mind games
may have worked in the past, Zack.

But Jenn 2.0 is laser focused
on winning that hardware at the Menkies.

And with the cast I've got,
and a litter of actual rescue puppies,

standing by to play the wolves
in our big act one forest climax,

I'm not really sweating
your little fish show.

Did you say puppies?

(WHISPERS) I did.

Oh, and you might
wanna work on that cha-cha.

Seems a little rusty.

It was a salsa.

I don't like her.

-I know.
-(DOOR CLOSES)

Be patient. Your moment is coming.

BARISTA: One scalding
hot black coffee for Lily.

That's me. (CHUCKLES)

(MOUTHING) Okay.

-(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
-And on the third count of eight,

the wolves will attack the beast.

Can't wait.

Ricky, stand center stage and look afraid.

Dancers, please stand in for the wolves

who are currently
being potty-trained at the animal shelter.

Hey, I need to talk to you for a second.

Okay.

-Why do you look guilty?
-Do you have any plans for Saturday?

Spending it all day watching football.

-Really?
-(CHUCKLES)

I love how you still
can't tell when I'm being sarcastic.

Well, can you keep it open?

I'm going to need some help in the barn
with something involving tractors.

-(STUDENTS ULULATING)
-We're talking this Saturday?

-Mm-hmm.
-Just come over and help in the barn

and not to celebrate something else

that you could figure out
with a quick search of public records?

Mm-hmm.

Seb, are you okay?

Mm-hmm.

I never learned how to lie

but I figure as long as I keep
my mouth shut, I can't tell the truth.

It's going great.

It takes a real leading lady
to swing by and support her friends.

When I lived in Hoboken,
which is basically New York,

I wouldn't miss
any of my friends' opening nights.

Oh. No, it's fun to watch.

Everyone looks like they're having
so much fun and I'm here, too.

It's sort of, adjacent to the fun having.

Well, sit tight. We'll be done soon.

Oh, no worries.

Got plenty of homework to keep me busy.

Homework is the new fun.

-Attack!
-(ROARING)

Yes! Get 'em.

-(ROARING)
-(STUDENTS GROWLING)

Get... Deep roar, Ricky.

(ROARING)

Thank you. Yes!

KOURTNEY: Keep in mind,
this is only a mock-up.

It's perfect, Kourt.

His favorite color is glitter.

Once this is done,
he's gonna go nuts for this.

Let me just try... (EXHALING SHARPLY)

Oh. Hello?

Sorry. For the party,

I'm recreating
this crazy home movie dance video

that Carlos made in seventh grade.

Uh, since when did you two
become so close?

'Cause two weeks ago,
you weren't even talking

and now you're throwing
him the party of the century?

Honestly, I always know
where I stand with him.

Which is more than I can say
for most boys at this school.

Anyway, you are a lifesaver
for making this so fast.

You showed up on opening night
of HSM and saved my life.

It's the least I can do.

And then, after all of that,
you get a chance to stay?

We truly are blessed sometimes.

I just wish I had known
ahead of time that I was staying.

I did something that night
that I wish I could take back.

Okay, what are you trying to say
right now? Because I need subtitles.

You ever put yourself out there
and just get nothing back?

Honestly, I try not to.

I gotta learn how to be
more like you, Kourt. (CHUCKLES)

Well, I'm still trying to be more
like Carlos. Loud and proud.

And for that alone,
he deserves a goodbye party.

You mean a surprise party?

CARLOS: G, where are you?
I need your eyes on the wolf sequence.

I'm gonna... Thanks again, Kourt.

MIKE: Hey, hey. Big party day.

Looks like you're up
to your ears in rose petals.

Yeah. So far no thorns, so...

Is that a euphemism?

You used the word "euphemism,"
yet you're tanking English class.

Okay, boomer.

I was born in the '70s.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay. Are you ready?

I am, like,
the Picasso of flower arrangements.

Uh, wait, what's that?

Yeah, Picasso
wasn't appreciated in his own time.

Is that true?

No, he was extremely wealthy
and a terrible person.

Nini, I thought you said
you could do the centerpieces.

I know, but everyone was so excited
about helping out with the party

and I just wanted to be part of it.

Well, this is, like, part of a nightmare.

(SCOFFS) I am part offended.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Well, can I see yours?

I mean, uh, it's not much. But...

Ricky Bowen, are you crafty?

(LAUGHS) Honestly,
I don't know who I am anymore.

-(NINI CHUCKLES)
-Cheers!

-(SNAPS FINGERS)
-Oh.

Well, hello, sir. Have you seen my dad?
Who're you are all dressed up for?

Oh. Well, I figured if I was giving
you a ride to this thing,

I might as well chaperone, too, right?

Why? Who's gonna be there?

Just the theater kids and Miss Jenn.

Oh, no kidding.

All right, chop-chop.
Let's get a move on. Go, go.

(SIGHS) Okay, I'm glad we offered to cater

but can we really make
this many pizzas by ourselves?

Relax, Ash. I'm in the business.

Okay, that doesn't give you 20 arms.

I'm a Redonovich.
When you cut us, we bleed red.

(GASPS) It's Carlos. Duck!

I know it's a little pathetic.

But with nothing fun
to look forward to this weekend,

I thought I would just
come by and carb-load.

And I can't even do that.

Sometimes when I'm sad,
I dress like Éponine.

Hey, I was thinkin',

seeing you in the rehearsal room
yesterday, I don't know.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt
if you talked to Miss Jenn

about getting you back
on stage with the rest of us.

Oh, well,
I wasn't there for the audition,

so it's not really fair.

Yeah, but if you talked to her,
I'm sure...

Honestly, maybe it's a sign.

I should just focus on making
new music and do my own solo thing.

If I'm in rehearsals
and you're doing your solo thing,

when will we see each other?

We see each other all the time, Ricky.

It's not that deep,
if I wanna try new stuff.

All right. Let's load up, guys.

Oh, are you sure
you don't wanna just go full tuxedo?

-Get in the truck.
-RICKY: Okay.

Yeah, no, you're good. You're good.

(GASPS) Michael Bowen,
I didn't expect to see you here.

Hey, anyone Ricky loves, I love.

Carlos, that is. Uh, Ricky loves that kid.

Of course.

Hmm. I almost called you
about a hundred times

after we ran into
each other on Valentine's Day,

but I didn't wanna come on too strong.

I wouldn't worry about that.

Save me a dance tonight?

You got it.

(LAUGHTER)

Hey, Gina. You got a second?

Sure. What's up?

I have a proposal to run past you.

Yeah?

Do you think it's a crazy idea
if I talk to Miss Jenn

about getting Nini into the show somehow?

Does Nini want that?

I... I think she feels
a little weird about it.

Maybe you should make sure
Nini's cool with it before you...

I mean, would you be cool with it?

Theoretically, if we were dating

and I went behind your back
but for, like, a good reason,

wouldn't you be flattered?

Yeah, Ricky. I'd be flattered.

Okay. Cool. You're the best.

-But we aren't.
-Sorry?

We aren't dating.

(CHUCKLES) Obviously.

So, maybe there are better people
to confide in about Nini.

Yeah. No. I just...

No, it's fine. I know what you meant.

I'm just saying, tonight's about Carlos.

And I wanna go out big.

Wow. You guys
decorated this place crazy fast.

You should see him at the pizza shop.

Nobody folds a box faster.

-(NINI CHUCKLES)
-We call him Oregano Origami.

Wow, really? I always wanted a nickname.

Oh, this makes me so happy.

Big Red doing manual labor?

No, you guys!

Uh, for a minute I was feeling sad
about not being in the show

but now looking at you both,
spreading your wings,

working at the pizza shop,
doing a thousand different things at once.

I don't know,
it's like a very small reminder

that the world is my oyster. (CHUCKLES)

Okay. Uh, but never mix oysters and pizza.

NINI: Oh.

Wait, do you want a job?

Oh, we aren't currently hiring.

That is, unless Howie
and Kourtney actually get together.

And then they break up.
And then one of them quits.

NINI: Wait, what?

(CHUCKLING) Wait. What are you even...
That's crazy.

You can't... (SNORTS)
It's insane with that...

(CLEARS THROAT)
That little man is my employee.

Technically, not really.
So, you are free to date each other.

You know what?
I think I'm gonna go. That's enough.

(NINI AND KOURTNEY CHUCKLE)

Okay...

Just the truth.

What's going on?

And I was just thinking,
it would mean so much to Nini...

Ricky, I hear you.
And I miss Nini up there, too.

Every day, I do.

And while her talent
would give us an edge at the Menkies

and put that beautiful,
evil Zackey Roy in his place,

(INHALES DEEPLY)
the show has been cast.

I... I understand.

There's always next fall's musical.

Ben, right?

We met on Valentine's Day when you came
to the pizza shop with Jennifer.

Oh, we walked
into the establishment together

but we didn't go together.

Oh, I know. She said
that you were, uh, close colleagues.

Oh, really? Uh, she say anything else?

Uh, not that I recall.

You teach, uh, shop?

-Engineering.
-Ah.

And the AV Club, which is why I'm here.

-I have to capture the joy.
-(CHUCKLES)

-Well...
-Well...

Well, I should go help out.
It was nice to see you, Ben.

-(SHEEP BLEATING)
-(CHICKEN CLUCKING)

My thoughts exactly.

(COW MOOING)

-We're here.
-(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

I'm so glad you came.

What else would I be doing
on today, of all days?

The ride over here was, um, exciting.

(CHUCKLES) I only have
my driver's license for farm equipment.

All right. Come on,
let's do a quick camera test.

I don't wanna screw this up.

Yeah, I kinda took Mazzara up
on his offer.

I've been dropping by
the AV Club for a couple of weeks.

He wants me to figure out my story.

Stop looking at the old selfie cam

and, uh, try to find
more interesting people to learn from.

Plus, I love Carlos so,
easy math. (CHUCKLES)

I'm gonna make that kid
a birthday tribute he will never forget.

I, uh...

I didn't prepare anything
to say about Carlos.

Oh, that's the whole point.

Just trying to capture things
on the fly tonight.

-(SIGHING) Wow.
-And we're rolling.

They'll be here in two minutes!

Oh, look at this fancy interview setup.
(CHUCKLES)

Don't forget to get my good side later.

Which side is that?

(CHUCKLES) Smooth.

Wait, cut, nope.
That is not going in the birthday tribute.

Too late.

Caswell.

-(COW MOOING)
-Okay.

Gosh, I hope this lives up
to your very high standards.

Honestly, honey, so do I.

Open the doors!

ALL: Happy birthday, Carlos!

Wait. This can't be happening.

-It is.
-I'm not wearin' a party outfit.

We got you covered.

(PEOPLE SHOUTING EXCITEDLY)

(ALL CHEERING)

Yes, Nini and Ricky!

Hey, everyone!
I think you kinda, you know...

It's Carlos' quinceañero!

-ASHLYN: Happy birthday!
-Oh, wow.

-Gina, get on up here.
-Yeah, G! Whoo!

RICKY: Gina, everybody!

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

-Whoo! Gina!
-KOURTNEY: Go, G!

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(SIGHS) Testing, testing.

Hello!

Carlos Rodriguez,

we, um, haven't always seen eye-to-eye
when it comes to running rehearsal...

-(LAUGHTER)
-...and

honestly, I sorta had no idea
what to get you tonight.

And then Sebbie showed me that clip
of you in seventh grade, dancing.

I was like...

"Oh...

"Okay, so, we're actually the exact same."

Because I remember
where I was in seventh grade,

or, uh, all of the places
that I was that year.

And I would just dance and dance

alone in my bedroom to stay busy

and escape.

But the difference between us is,

I never would have
put that out into the world

and I never would have
left that up on Instagram

after some of the comments you got...

(SCOFFS) Haters gonna hate.

Anyways, um,
tonight I'm recreating your dance.

Because, we might not share
a choreography brain,

but I think you know
we share a dancer heart.

(VOICE QUIVERING)
No matter what happens tomorrow,

or the day after that,

we just keep on dancing.

-Yes, we do.
-(LIGHT APPLAUSE)

Roll the tape.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(APPLAUSE)

-(ALL CHEERING)
-Hello, world!

This is a time capsule
because someday I hope I am studied.

It is almost my thirteenth birthday,
and in some cultures that makes me a man.

As a man, I demand
the following gifts for my birthday.

A new phone, a Tony Award, and someday...

I'm putting this out there early,
a quinceañero.

Now, please enjoy this dance I made up.
It is on fleek.

-GIRL: Aw!
-(LATIN POP MUSIC PLAYING)

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

KOURTNEY: Yes, G!

MAN: He's got style. Look at you.

(TRUMPET MUSIC INTRO PLAYING)

-(CLASSICAL GUITAR STRUMMING)
-GINA: (SINGING) Whoa!

-(UPBEAT LATIN MUSIC PLAYING)
-It's time to turn it up

Let the music take over your body

And dance, like everyone is watching

Your moves inspire me
To be the best I can be

Not alone, but in harmony

Fearlessly

This rhythm's hot like the sun
Don't you dare disagree

Yes, Gina!

Then come and join me

When you move I move with you
Together as one

It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars

Different in so many ways
But when we hit the stage

We all share the same thing

A dancer's heart

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Yeah, yeah

-Oh, wow.
-Whoo!

The truth in every turn

One, two, step
I have learned so much from you

And the way you groove
We got nothing to lose

This rhythm's hot like the sun
Don't you dare disagree

If you think so then come and join me

When you move I move with you
Together as one

It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars

Different in so many ways
But when we hit the stage

We all share the same thing

A dancer's heart

Turn the music up
Let the rhythm move your body

No more to discuss
Go and grab someone

Stranger or a friend
It don't matter in the end

Let this feeling take over your life

When you move I move with you
Together as one

It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars

Go, Gina! Gina!

Different in so many ways
But when we hit the stage

We all share the same thing

A dancer's heart

When you move I move with you
Together as one

It don't matter who you are
When we dance, we're all stars

Different in so many ways
But when we hit the stage

NINI: Carlos!

We all share the same thing

-A dancer's heart
-(CHUCKLES IN AWE)

-BOTH: Yeah!
-(PEOPLE CHEER)

-Whoo-hoo!
-Yeah!

Whoo!

NINI: Go, Gina! Yeah!
RICKY: Go, Gina!

NINI: Yeah!

(ALL CHEERING)

ASHLYN: That's my roomie!

I love you! Day one.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Whoo!

-Gina, that was amazing. (CHUCKLES)
-Thank you.

How do you feel right now?

Honestly,

(SIGHS) like I did everything
I needed to do here.

Well, you're glowing.

Remind me to hire you
to throw me a birthday party.

(CHUCKLES) That's sweet.

Um, should I give
a final shout-out to Carlos or...

Uh, yeah, let me hit record here.

(CAMERA BEEPS)

That was just you asking?

How I was feeling?

Is that okay?

Okay, who stole my boyfriend?

(ALL CHEERING)

(ENGINE TURNS OFF)

(SEB SIGHS)

Carlos, hi.

(NINI LAUGHS)

Um, I think you know that there is
nothing greater than the love we share

for power ballads
originally sung by iconic women.

-(LAUGHTER)
-NINI: Yes.

Yes, you're my boyfriend
but you're also sort of my hero.

Here's something I never told you.

That video from when
you were 13 has 1,000 views.

I would say roughly 100 of them
were from me.

(LAUGHTER)

I was 12 years old, and hiding in my room,

in every sense of that word.

Uh, your post kinda went viral.
Semi-viral for Utah. (CHUCKLES)

Um, I didn't know who you were,
I barely knew who I was.

I just knew that I felt inspired.

So, I just kept on hitting repeat.
(CHUCKLES)

So, thank you. (CHUCKLES)

And, happy birthday.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

(PLAYS SOFT MELODY)

Oh, and I hope it's not disappointing
to the King of Fashion

that I'm wearing the same suit
that I wore to homecoming.

My parents said that I have to wear this
till I grow out of it.

(LAUGHING)

Okay, here goes.

(PLAYING SOFT MELODY)

(SINGING) I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming

But, there's a voice inside my head saying

You'll never reach it

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels

Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I, I gotta keep trying

Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting
On the other side

It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking

Sometimes might knock me down, but
No, I'm not breaking

I may not know it

But these are the moments
That I'm gonna remember most, yeah

Just gotta keep going

And I, I gotta be strong

Just keep pushing on

'Cause
There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Always gonna be an uphill battle

Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting
On the other side

It's the climb

Yeah, yeah

Oh

There's always gonna be another mountain

I'm always gonna wanna make it move

Whoo!

Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes you're gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there

Ain't about what's waiting
On the other side

Yeah, yeah

It's the climb

Oh, oh, oh

Yeah

It's all about the climb

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah

It's the climb

Whoo!

-(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
-Whoo!

-KOURTNEY: Go, Sebbie!
-(ALL CHEERING)

ASHLYN: Go, Sebbie!

Where did you come from
and why am I so lucky?

Wasatch County and you just are.

Speech, speech, speech!

ALL: Speech!
KOURTNEY: Speech, yeah!

(LAUGHTER)

(CARLOS CHUCKLES)

Um...

I'm not sure
how I can thank you all for this.

I've never been accused
of being speechless.

(LAUGHTER)

I can't thank you all enough
for just getting me.

Everybody should have people
who just get them.

-We love you, Carlos!
-ALL: We love you!

I've done a little research,
and if this is, in fact, your quinceañero,

then he must choose his madrina.

That means godmother.

Honey, I'm not that bad at Spanish.

One, two, three, not it!

(LAUGHING)

I got enough jobs as it is already.

(LAUGHTER)

(SIGHS)

I choose, as my madrina...

So, tell us how you felt the moment
Carlos chose you as his godmother.

(SOBBING) I can't.

-Oh, boy.
-Oh, no, no.

No, I feel like
the clown from It. I need Kourtney.

-All right, you got five minutes.
-Thank you, five.

You have done well tonight.

EJ: It felt good to do this.

So, now that
you've turned the camera around,

who was the most interesting interview?

Sorry, what?

Nothing.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(MISS JENN GASPS)

(SQUEALS)

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

Nothing can ruin this night. It's perfect.

-I'm sure.
-Really?

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(CELL PHONE CHIMING)

(ON VIDEO) Hey, what's up?

Zack Clack, coming at you
with a beautiful bombshell today.

Hey, remember how North High was all set
to make a splash with The Little Mermaid?

Well, after a generous offer
from our pals at a local wildlife rescue,

we've decided to switch gears.

Because, we are all
about these puppies now.

Meet Blaze. (CHUCKLES)

-He and his trained wolf pack...
-(GASPS)

...will be joining North High
in our brand new production of,

Beauty and the Beast.

Playing themselves
in the big act one, forest climax.

(CHUCKLES) So, if you only catch
one beast this spring,

come out for this one.

There is no finer teacher
in the Salt Lake region than Mr. Roy,

who has been generous enough
to let me transfer to North High

and co-direct.

(SOBS)

-Are you crying?
-Well, I'm not not crying. (CHUCKLES)

Sing for Mommy, please? Sing for Mommy.

-(BLAZE HOWLING ON VIDEO)
-Oh.

Oh, my God!

How am I gonna...

How can I...

begin to compete?

(POP MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS)

That's it.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Hi. You know how I always say the craziest
ideas occur either in the shower

or in an airplane bathroom
during turbulence?

You do?

Nini, I think you belong on-stage with us.
No, I know you do. (CHUCKLES)

(LAUGHS) Yes.

I have an idea that'll
blow the competition out of the water.

(DANCE-POP MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKER)

(PHONE LINE RINGING)

Hey, Mom, it's me.

Yeah, we're still on.

I'm ready to come home.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
