Now, listen, normal kids would have been stoked to slack off, but not you guys, because you're not normal, you're special. And because I think you guys have the right attitude, I think it's time we started our new class project.

A science project?

No. It's called... "Rock Band".

Marta

Is this a school project?

Yes. And it's a requirement. And it may sound easy, but nothing could be harder. It will test your head [points to his head], and your mind [points to his jaw], and your brain too [points to his forehead].

Will other schools be competing?

You could say that. You could say that every school in the state will be competing for the top prize.

What's the prize?

A win will go on your permanent record. Hello Harvard, Yo?

Look, the first thing you do when you start a rock band is talk about your influences. That's how you figure out what kind of band to be. So who do you like? Blondie?

Marta

Christina Aguilera.

Who? No! Come on. What? You, Shortstop.

Leonard

Puff Daddy.

Wrong. Billy?

Liza Minnelli?

What are you...? You guys! This project is called "Rock Band". I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin. [the class gives him blank stares] Don't tell me you guys have never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells? What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motörhead?! OH, WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THIS PLACE?!

Negative one.

[singing]

That's riiiiight. And six times a billion is...

Marco

Six billion?

[singing]

Nailed it! And 54 is 45 more than...What is the answer Marta?

Marta

Nine.

[singing]

No it's eight.

Marta
[singing]

No, it's nine.

[singing]

Yes, I was just testing you, it's nine. And that's a magic number.

Marta
[The crowd chants "School of Rock! School of Rock!"] [surprised]

What is that?

[amazed]

It's an encore. They want us to go play another song! It's good! Go, you guys!

[The kids all shriek and run quickly for the stage]

Wait, no, no, just the band! Okay, everybody, go!
