A scene from School of Rock 2003
Dewey

[The kids have arrived to find No Vacancy, Dewey's old band, on stage]

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.

Dewey

Gordon, what about the lights?

Gordon

The light board's up in the balcony. I'll patch it up there.

Dewey

Alright. Okay, now, Billy, how's beautification?

Billy

Are you kidding?

Dewey

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.

Zack

But why? I mean...really?

Dewey

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.

Summer

We haven't practiced that one as much. I mean, we might not win.

Dewey

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?

Dewey

(He lowers his hand into the middle of the circle, and the kids place theirs atop it)

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.

All

Amen.

Dewey

Now let's get out there and MELT SOME FACES!

All

Yeah!
