SANDY:
(Practicing as a cheerleader) do a split, start shouting, today the national team will win.
Oh, I can't.
DANNY:
Hey Sandy
SANDY:
Oh Danny, you scared me.
DANNY:
What happened to your ear?
SANDY:
What? (Covers her ear with her hand) Ah... An accident.
DANNY:
Look, I hope you're not still mad about the first day of class.
SANDY:
You could have been nicer in front of all your friends.
DANNY:
Are you crazy? You don't know those guys, they see you talking to a girl and they think... Well, you know.
SANDY:
It looked like you had a new girlfriend or something.
DANNY:
Are you crazy? Look, if it were up to me, I wouldn't see any girl other than you (Blushes) You know what? We're going to throw a party for Frenchy in the park because she's going to beauty school before she fails again. Do you want to come?
SANDY:
Alright Danny, as long as you're with me. We can't let anything or anyone separate us.
PATTY:
(Running with two batons in a cheerleader outfit) HI Danny!!!!!
Am I interrupting? (Hands a baton to Sandy). Here, twirl this for a while (Takes Danny aside) You know what my mom said when you left last night? She thinks you're great (To Sandy) he's quite the charmer. Come on Sandy, we need to practice.
SANDY:
Oh yes, I can't wait to impress all those athletes.
DANNY:
Ah! I get it, you want to show off in front of those hot jocks.
SANDY:
Don't tell me you're jealous
DANNY:
What? Jealous of those meatballs, don't make me laugh.. ha ha!
SANDY:
Just because they can do something you can't
DANNY:
Yeah... sure... uh-huh.
SANDY:
OK, what have you done?
DANNY:
I won a hamburger eating contest at the school cafeteria.
SANDY:
You don't even know what I'm talking about.
DANNY:
Look, when there's football practice, I'll show you who I am.
PATTY:
Oh, I'm excited, aren't you? Let's practice. Act 1, Scene 7. (In the park)
DANNY:
Hey Frenchy, when do your beauty classes start?
FRENCHY:
I already started them and I have to style these wigs for tomorrow.
MEMO:
Hey 05, you shouldn't eat that hamburger, it's still Friday.
LALO:
And why do you remind me, now I have to confess.
CHIQUIS:
That's the good thing about being Lutheran.
LALO:
Yes, of course, that's the good thing about being Porky's wife.
CHIQUIS:
Look who's talking, dumbo.
FRENCHY:
Hey, Tacho, don't mess up the magazine, there's a picture of Alberto Vasquez that I want to keep.
TACHO:
I was just checking out Marilyn Monroe's assets.
FRENCHY:
You know, they've told me I look like Marilyn Monroe.
TACHO:
You? I don't think so, you don't have assets like hers.
FRENCHY:
They told me she uses Kleenex.
TACHO:
You know that and more, foam rubber.
CHIQUIS:
Hey Lalo, don't you want another hamburger?
LALO:
No thanks, I prefer a Coke.
CHIQUIS:
You shouldn't drink so much Coke, it rots your teeth.
LALO:
Thanks, tooth care beaver.
CHIQUIS:
I heard about a scientist who left a tooth in a glass of Coke, and in a week it was gone.
LALO:
Please, I'm not going to hold a mouthful of Coke for a week, besides, why do you care, they're my teeth, not your problem.
CHIQUIS:
Yeah, I guess not.
DANNY:
Did you guys hear that I got accepted to the sports team this morning?
LICHA:
With those skinny legs? (Lalo laughs)
DANNY:
It's more than you can do, 05.
CHIQUIS:
Why don't you punch him in the face.
LALO:
Why?
CHIQUIS:
He called you 05.
LALO:
That's what they've called me since I was little.
CHIQUIS:
And what does it mean?
LALO:
Can't you see that 05 is the complaint section number of the school.
CHIQUIS:
And what are you complaining about?
LALO:
Everything, I love to mope around and be sad, I'm the king of the sad kids at the national high school.
King of the Sad Kids
LALO:
Of the sad kids, I'm the king just for you
CHIQUIS:
Just for who
LALO:
Of the crybabies, I'm the king
so lonely and sad
CHIQUIS:
so lonely and sad
LALO:
A king shouldn't be as lonely as I am
but my kingdom is one of sadness and pain

CHIQUIS:

LALO:
I'll come looking for you
I know one day I'll find you

BOTH:
And we'll both
MEMO:
Look Danny, here comes your childhood friend.
TACHO:
Strawberry lollipop, don't you want a soda?
SANDY:
No thanks, I just came to collect leaves for biology.
EUGENIO:
I'll wait for you in the van with my grandpa. (they trip him as he exits)
TACHO:
Leaves, huh, well I saw some beautiful red ones by the river.
KIKO:
They're not leaves, they're popped balloons.
MEMO:
Hey, aren't you going to spy on them?
DANNY:
What? No, not at all.
SONIA:
Hey Danny, are you going to the dance tomorrow?
DANNY:
I don't have any other plans.
SONIA:
It's just that you seem sad because little Lulu turned you down.
DANNY:
Who?
SONIA:
The silly Sandra Dee, who else. Hey Danny, give me a ride, I can also tell the good girl story, right guys
Sandra Dee
SONIA:
I'm Angélica María
sweet and good all day
I can't do anything
I'm always locked up
at home with mom
I'm submissive and don't play at love
I'm the teacher's pet
I shouldn't listen to Elvis Presley sing because they say it's immoral
I don't smoke
I don't drink
I don't do silly things
I shouldn't swear
I don't go out at night
I don't ride in cars
you can't even scold me
That's why you Enrique Guzman
I'm not Popotitos leave me alone
you have bad intentions
I'm not like the others
I believe in Santa Claus
I admire James Dean
he wears sneakers and is a rebel
I play with dolls
and suck on lollipops
I'm the Idiot
of Sandra Dee
SANDY:
You were making fun of me, right? Who do you think you are to make fun of me? Let go of me, you liar, don't touch me.
DANNY:
Hey Sonia, what time should I pick you up?
SONIA:
Any time you want, Danny.
LALO:
Hey Chiquis, do you have plans for tomorrow night?
CHIQUIS:
No, why?
LALO:
Do you want to go to the dance?
CHIQUIS:
Really?
LALO:
Yes
CHIQUIS:
Alright.
MEMO:
Hey, Frenchy... Do you think they'll let you into the dance?
FRENCHY:
I think so, why?
MEMO:
Just wondering, see you there.
LICHA:
Hey Kiko.
TACHO:
(interrupts) Don't invite Kiko, he and I are going to ride the Rebel Lightning to pick up some girls from my neighborhood
KIKO:
No way, I asked to be connected with a friend of my sister who they say is a bombshell.
LICHA:
Oh! Well, I don't know if I'm going.
ALL:
Why not Licha
LICHA:
Because I don't have a partner.
DANNY:
Well, I know who the perfect couple is....... Hey Eugenio!
...Intermission...
