Chad: Have you ever seen Michael Crawford on a cereal box? 
Troy Bolton: Who's Michael Crawford? 
Chad: Exactly my point. He was the "Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway. 
Now my mom, she's seen that musical

HYPERLINK "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727317/" Ryan: Besides, she hasn't even asked our permission to join the drama club. 
HYPERLINK "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0864308/" Sharpay: [slams hands down on table] Someone's gotta tell her the rules. 
HYPERLINK "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727317/" Ryan: Exactly. 
[long pause] 
HYPERLINK "http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1727317/" Ryan: ... And what're the rules?
