Coach Jack Bolton
- Jack Bolton: Where's my team, Darbus?
- [notices Troy and Chad in a tree on stage]
- Jack Bolton: What the heck are those two doing in a tree?
- Ms. Darbus: It's called crime and punishment, Bolton. Beside, proximity to the arts is cleansing for the soul.
- Jack Bolton: Can we have a talk? Please?
- Jack Bolton: [to Troy and Chad] And you two, in the gym... now.
- Jack Bolton: [in denial about the fact Troy wants to sing] You're the playmaker... not a singer... right?
- Troy Bolton: Did you ever think that maybe I could be both?
- [drops basketball and leaves, passing his surprised father and friends]
- Mrs. Bolton: Did we really fly all this way just to play more basketball?
- Jack Bolton, Troy Bolton: Yeah.
- Ms. Darbus: All right, Bolton. Cards on the table right now.
- Jack Bolton: Huh?
- Ms. Darbus: You're tweaked because I put your stars in detention and now you're getting even?
- Jack Bolton: What're you talking about. Darbus?
- Ms. Darbus: Your all-star son showed up at my audition. Now, I give every student an even chance, which is a long and honorable tradition in the theater, something that you wouldn't understand, but if he is planning some sort of a practical joke in my chapel of the arts...
- Jack Bolton: Troy doesn't even sing.
- Ms. Darbus: Oh, well, you're wrong about that, but I will not allow my 'Twinkle Town Musicale' to be made into farce.
- Jack Bolton: Twinkle Town?
- Ms. Darbus: See, I knew it. I knew it.
- Jack Bolton: [Ms. Darbus walks away] Sounds like a winner. Good luck on Broadway.
- Troy Bolton: Dad, did you ever think about trying something new, but were afraid of what your friends might think?
- Jack Bolton: What, you mean like going left? You're doing great!
- Troy Bolton: Dad, detention was my fault. Not hers.
- Jack Bolton: You haven't missed a practice in three years. That girl shows up...
- Troy Bolton: [interrupts] That girl is named Gabriella. And she's very nice.
- Jack Bolton: Well, helping you miss practice doesn't make her very nice. Not in my book, or your team's.
- Jack Bolton: [notices that Chad and Troy are not at practice] Where's Troy and Chad?
- [no answer]
- Jack Bolton: Don't make me ask again.
- Jack Bolton: [yelling] Where's Troy and Chad?
- The Basketball team: Detention.
- Ms. Darbus: This school is about more than just young men in baggy shorts flinging balls for touchdowns.
- Jack Bolton: Baskets. Uh, they shoot baskets.
