OK, Teach. Teach. Teach. Alright, look, here’s the deal. I’ve got a hangover. Who knows what that means?
Frankie Doesn't that mean you’re drunk?
No. It means I was drunk yesterday.
It means you're an alcoholic.
Wrong.
You wouldn't come to work unless you were an alcoholic. Dude, you got a disease!
Mmm-hmm. What's your name?
Freddy Jones.
Mmm, Freddy Jones, shut up!
Oh, you wanna learn something?
Yes, I do.
You want me to teach you something? [most of the students nod] Here's a useful lesson for you: give up. Just quit. Because in this life, you can't win. Sure, you can try. [really getting angry] But in the end you're just gonna lose, BIG TIME. Because THE WORLD is run by The Man.
Frankie Who?
The Man. Oh, you don't know The Man? [class shakes their heads] He's everywhere. In the White House, down the hall, MISS MULLINS, she's The Man. And The Man ruined the ozone, and he's burning down the Amazon, and he kidnapped Shamu and put her in a chlorine tank! Okay? And there used to be a way to stick it to The Man. It was called rock ‘n’ roll. But guess what. Oh, no. The Man ruined that too with a little thing called MTV! So don’t waste your time trying to make anything cool or pure or awesome, because The Man’s just going to call you a fat, washed up loser and crush your soul. So do yourselves a favor and just GIVE UP!!!!
I'm just saying, name two great chick drummers.
Sheila E? Meg White from The White Stripes?
She can't drum!
She's a better drummer than you. At least she has rhythm.
Freddy, where are your sleeves? And what have you done to your hair?
It's called punk.
Well, it's not school uniform. [pulls Freddy's sleeves back down]
Frankie Miss Mullins, you're The Man.
Thank you, Frankie.
[Frankie and some of the other students giggle behind her back.]
So, his name really wasn't Mr. Schneebly?
Nah, it was, like, Dewey somethin'...
What about the project?
Frankie Wake up, Marco. There was no project.
He just wanted us to play a show so we could make some money.
I can't believe we weren't getting graded on any of this.
What are you so bummed about? We had a three week vacation. Yeah, it was a waste of time, but it was a lot better than school.
It was not a waste of time.
Hate to break it to you, bro, but yeah, that's what it was.
You're an idiot.
Hey, shut up!
No, you shut up!
Hey, you wanna go?!
Hey, if you touch him, I'll shove those sticks down your throat, got it?! [Freddy retreats] [to class] Mr. S was cool. We worked too long and hard not to play the show!
Okay, so what are we supposed to do?
I say we get out of here and play the show.
Guys, you don't have to listen to those hacks! Come on, band meeting, right now, gather round. Alright. Frankie, how's security?
Frankie We're set.
Gordon, what about the lights?
The light board's up in the balcony. I'll patch it up there.
Alright. Okay, now, Billy, how's beautification?
Are you kidding?
Okay, listen up, you guys, we only have one song to let these guys know who we are...so I think we should play Zack's.
But why? I mean...really?
Yes! The thing is, you guys, I ain't that good. I'm not, I can admit it, but, dude, you're ten years old, you're already better than me, your song rocks harder, so let's play it! But hey, you know what? That's just one guy's opinion. This ain't my band, it's our band, we all have a say.
We haven't practiced that one as much. I mean, we might not win.
Hey. We didn't come here to win, we came to play one great show. And on Zack's song, you guys really rock. You know my vote, who else is with me?
Alright, let's pray. God of Rock, thank you for this chance to kick butt. We are your humble servants, please give us the power to blow people's minds with our high voltage rock. In your name, we pray. Amen.
Amen.
Now let's get out there and MELT SOME FACES!
Yeah!
