Okay, I admit it I'm gonna miss school.

Oh, we're gonna have class today,

but it's just not gonna be in here That's what the school is all about why I'm gonna miss it so much Hey,

I'm gonna live forever.

I'm gonna learn how to fly.

I'm feeling calm and together.

People will see me cry.

Hey, I'm gonna make it to heaven.

Light up the sky like a plague.

Hey, I'm gonna live forever.

Remember, remember, remember, remember, remember.

You got big dreams.

You want fame.

Well fame costs.

And right here is where you start fame.

Hey, I'm gonna live forever.

Can you remember my name?

Remember, remember, remember, remember.

I'm gonna live forever.

I went across a copy of Stanislavski on acting that I lent you last October.

I'd like to have it back.

Look from the looks of this locker.

I think you have a better chance of finding his original draft.

Neatness is not everything.

When are you going to learn, ma'am?

Probably this summer.

You know, I hear the Arts Festival in New Mexico is real primitive.

Something about no running water.

But you're going anyway.

Yep.

I'm going to miss you, Jess.

I'm going to miss you, too.

I'm going to miss a lot of things.

Like this school?

Come on, come on, admit it.

This is probably the only school in America where the kids actually dread summer vacation.

Okay, I admit it.

I'm going to miss school.

But mostly you.

What's that?

Shh.

Sounds like someone's car.

Oh, somebody probably left the water running.

You know, like what you're not going to have in New Mexico.

No, shh, I'm serious.

Come on.

It's coming from in there, come on.

You know, someday I hope you realize what's important in life.

Come on.

Cleo, what are you doing here?

Um, I was just cleaning up my locker.

Are you okay, Cleo?

No, I mean, why shouldn't I be okay?

School is out, summer's in, everything's fine, right?

You say I guess you're going to miss this place.

I'm sad because I'm not coming back to this place.

Not coming back?

I'll come.

My family's moving to California.

Oh, that's terrible.

I guess there are terrible places in California, huh?

Well, you're moving to California.

I'm moving to Hollywood.

Hollywood?

Gee, rough break.

I just got so much out of being here.

I mean, when I first came here, I was shy and everything, and I never had any confidence in myself, remember?

Why does everyone in this school treat me like I'm invisible?

I mean, what does it take around here to get noticed?

Look around here.

Everybody here's got something going.

Well, I've got something going, too.

If somebody will just give me the chance to show it.

If anybody here is going to give you a chance, you've got to take your chance.

You've got the guts.

Well, I've got guts.

I've got more guts than anybody in this whole school.

What are you waiting for?

Will you come with me?

Yeah!

I know we just met, but I feel like I've known you before There's something about you,

my heart has been searching for I don't understand it, it's all my hair So don't try and solve it,

just feed yourself It is always such a mystery And when you are here,

it turns out to be You are too old to love me I'll save my life, do it,

do it I don't think you'd be too shy after that What is it about this place that makes you so special?

I don't know.

It's like a big family.

Yeah, I guess that's it.

Like that time we had the big old blizzard and we all had to spend the night in the school.

I know.

I wasn't scared, though.

It was like a big party to me.

Some party.

The boiler was broken.

We were all freezing.

Yeah, but Miss Grant made up a great way to keep moving.

Come on, y'all!

Hey!

Hey!

I ain't about to sit here and read this song.

All these guys are doin' stuff up here.

That's the way to make it to the party.

Get off the floor, the party's all ready.

Go over here and have a cup in the air.

Go over here and have a cup of tea.

Go over here and have a cup of tea.

All this party is about to end.

I ain't about to sit here and have a cup of tea.

Feel that Get my band, spin around Get my band, spin around Get my band, spin around Get my band,

You can break a heart, walk away when it falls apart You can tell your eyes,

you can kill with your pretty eyes You can turn me away,

but don't worry why Please remember that you're the night You can turn me away,

you never have to die No, you never have to die You never have to die No,

you never have to die How many times did we break up this year?

About three?

Oh no, it was at least four.

No, you guys are something else.

You guys are always fighting.

That's because this woman lives to drive me crazy.

Oh, right, and you were the saint.

What was that fight about, anyway?

You don't remember?

You were locked in a music cubicle, and you had your own ideas about how to keep warm.

Well, it was freezing.

Yes, any excuse.

Yeah, that definitely wasn't all-out blizzard.

And remember when Leroy kept running out trying to make it to an audition?

No, you don't remember.

No, you don't.

I'm Leroy Johnson.

You know he's a passion for you.

He has to stay and check his side.

I feel a fancy tingle down to my toes, and with every step, it grows and it grows.

I'm oh so happy where I just know somebody must be running down on me.

The winter wind is blowing, it's cold right now I'm cold and I'm wet,

but I don't care I'm here for a sunny day day I'm well,

somebody must be pretty down on me You may go down in my mind You're gonna let my spirit fly I said,

you're gonna let me fly The whole night is fine Don't push me shy It's time to tell your heart It's time to let go I'm

gonna rock it And tear up the town You'll see so much That you're gonna want to be Somebody must be pretty down I'm

gonna rock it It's time to tell them all who's caught it all Gonna walk in a tear of the dust And dance on my back I

want more joy Somebody might make it when it's time for me Somebody might make it when it's time for me Somebody might

make it when it's time for me Somebody might make it when it's time for me That Leroy,

you know he really put me through some changes Well I think he went through a few changes himself Yeah,

like that time that his father came back through all these years I'll be back.

I'll be here.

You know what would have been nice?

If we could have danced together.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We've got two of them.

It's not denying that we're all the same.

It doesn't matter.

They come from just like anyone.

They're all the same.

And since we're beginning our time.

We've been looking for a side.

These are things that make us sing.

To do what's that we'll do.

I think we do.

We've been together together.

We've been here forever.

As one.

We've got the movement here.

And it's all about the times of age.

Cause we're running out of movement.

And we're running out of movement.

And I know there's a mental way to keep us alive People have got to say that we're never ever going to be free Tell me

that we are there together as one We're here together forever as one We're here together together as one We're here

together forever as one We're here together again But take a step ahead,

take a step ahead We're here together forever as one Don't you know we stand together, we stand together,

Oh count on it.

You know something dad?

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Leroy Johnson.

You know, it took me a whole semester to get a date with that guy.

Well, that's because you didn't like the game play.

Yeah, but you and Holly sure did set me straight.

You guys taught me all kinds of tricks about getting back.

They did, huh?

Well, they had to, Jesse.

Leroy had me on the ropes.

He's a jerk, a tall old jerk.

The man is not a jerk, okay?

Hey, look, you're a cute girl with a lot going for you.

And if Leroy Johnson can't see that, then he's a jerk.

Well, how do I get his interest?

There's only one way.

Other guys.

You guys, I don't know if I like all this game-playing stuff.

She doesn't like the game-play.

I'm glad that you're still alive.

My soul is now and I wasn't.

This girl was not a good girl to get.

It's a love, it's a love It's a love I'm a man, I do it one more last time It's a love,

I do it one last time You said you do it one more time Don't want your peace It's a love,

it's the only thing You know, I can't believe that you're proud of handing out that kind of advice.

Well, it worked, didn't it?

It sure did.

Oh, come on, Jesse.

Everyone doesn't have your moxie, you know.

I mean, he was here for only five minutes and he was running for president of the whole school.

I think that's what we're going for.

Those here are ah...

Hi...

Hello.

A lot of good it did mean.

Mr.

Morlock disqualified me.

Well, look on the bright side.

We ended up with Dwight Mendenhall for president.

Yeah, that was pretty weird.

It must have been the weather.

The heat went to everybody's heads.

And from there to the ballot box.

That heat wave was so bad that we couldn't even concentrate in dance class.

Miss Grant, actually, let's have class in the streets.

Yeah, boy, we must have been some side.

It's your scene, do a scene I see Hot dogs in the city Can you feel my body see?

Your hot dogs in the city Take it and bring it away Hot dogs in the city Let your scene,

do a scene I see Hot dogs in the city Can you feel my body see?

Hot dogs in the city Don't break your heart Yeah, it was definitely hot.

You know, I've had so many of my first experiences here.

Yeah, like what?

Well, like my first love, and my first lead in a play.

Your first time stage managing.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

The monster that devoured Las Vegas.

Yeah, well, we didn't have the rocket to start the show with, and Steven Spielberg was coming to see it.

And it was only 45 minutes before curtain.

And I had to go all the way uptown to get it.

I'm talking about suspense.

I didn't even know if I was going to make it on time or not.

You think that was suspense?

Doris was locked in the pantry room with that new wave girl, and I was understudy,

so Miss Grant had to take me through the number.

What was the number called, Mickey?

Miss Grant.

Tango's open up, Mr.

E.

Because I love you.

The thrill of living dangerous.

Me, I need more tonight.

I'm on the run, John Glenn, all in.

Oh, life is never long.

Oh, there's always something to say.

The wind that really spins.

I know I'm being watched.

I feel inside the ground.

There's truth with him.

But this is so big.

He's supposed to be anywhere.

Why is he so quiet?

He must never see his own.

Why do we always think we were in freedom?

Oh, no.

Miss Grant.

Tango's open up, Mr.

Because I love you.

The thrill of living dangerous.

Oh, life is never hard,

but there's always love to spend Take a look at all the things you'll need Because I know that you've been through a

little bit dangerous You know,

we really did some fun shows I seem to remember a show that wasn't so much fun What's that?

The teacher's show Oh, yeah Oh, it's Mrs.

Lewandowski, student director You guys were making so much fun of her Yo,

a math teacher should not be playing Lady of Spain on an accordion and tap dancing.

I'm sorry.

Man, I'll tell you what's wrong.

The wrong people are on stage.

That's what's wrong.

You know, listen, man, I can't wait to get back into action.

All right, man.

Hold it, hold it, hold it, brother.

Let out your weight.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Who's going to take care of Mrs.

Lewandowski next year?

I mean, I'm not going to be here.

And she's going to need a lot of direction.

Don't look at me.

Don't worry about it.

I'll take care of Mrs.

Lewandowski for you.

Thank you.

And who's going to take care of me?

Well, you're going to camp all summer.

You could come with me, you know.

To New Mexico?

Mm-hmm.

I don't know.

I don't think I could handle that.

Besides, if you don't remember, I almost got deported back to old Mexico not too long ago.

And if you don't remember, I'm the one who found the closet kept you here.

Extraordinary talent.

Still, singing for an immigration officer.

That's a tough audience.

What am I to be, What's in my life for me?

What can I do that no man has done?

What will my life bring me?

Where am I to go, What feeling will I know?

Will I erase the gifts I have, What will I need to show?

Will I be a gentleman, Will I play my song?

Will I make a better place, Will you be alone?

Will I gamble with my dreams, Will I draw it in hand?

Will I keep the child in me, Still be common?

What am I to be?

What's in my life for me?

What can I do that no man has done?

What will my life bring me?

What am I to be?

I almost lost you, Velazquez.

One flat note, and that had been it.

I love Mexico, you know, but everything that I want is right here.

I guess that's what the school is all about.

Why I'm going to miss it so much.

My name is Cleo Hewitt, and someday, Just maybe someday we're gonna be a big star.

And the bus comes in at night with freeway and the dawn.

All these kids is out of the window at the scared of town.

Such a beating of the hearts and the hope deep down inside.

They say the streets are paved with gold, but it sure looks kind of cold outside.

Stepping on the sidewalk with the stars beneath their feet.

It's just a handful of tourists, it's all she's about to mean.

So it's hard to find a room, but it takes more than a day.

And it's like two nights and the price is high.

Somehow she can't help but cry.

In a world full of fantasies, reality can hurt.

It's about the fiction, the odds won't build the horror.

Three of the streets, three of the streets.

And nothing through it all just fade away.

Three of the streets, three of the streets.

When it's hard to find and it won't let hope escape.

From a dream's dream.

A vehicle's fine in the situation, she can't stand.

I came to be an actress, but her waitress is as she lands.

Her colleague smiles at her, through the wrinkles of her face.

She came up to her with his ups and goals.

She never got out of this place.

She makes her mind up, she's gonna leave every night.

It's been so long now since she's felt that good inside She falls into this line There's a message you never heard

She's got a star in a movie bar Suddenly it's all worthwhile Oh,

a little bit closer Never really stood so far Is it always I never reached that bright I'm trying to start Dream Street

Dream Street When I've come through And I'll just fade away Dream Street Dream Street When it's hard to find And I

won't let hope escape From Dream Street Dream Street Dream Street When I've come through And I'll just fade away Dream

Street Dream Street When it's hard to find And I won't let hope escape Dream Street Dream Street When it's hard to find

And I won't let hope escape Dream Street Dream Street Dream Street When it's hard to find And I won't let hope escape

Dream Street Dream Street When it's hard to find And I won't let hope escape Dream Street Dream Street That's what this

place is all about.

I know it's out there, my shining star.

I know I'll find it, no matter how far.

They say, your chance will come in time.

If you say, just hang on, take this again.

So hold on to your dreams.

They say, just give yourself some time.

If you say, hang on, take this again.

They say, just hang on, take this again.

Some way between.

All my life I had so many dreams.

Each waiting moment, in each crossing.

Some way between.

Some way between.

You know, I'm really gonna miss this place.

I'm really gonna miss you guys, too.

We're gonna miss you, Cleo.

Yeah, we really are.

I'll write you guys when I get to Hollywood, okay?

Maybe you can come and visit, huh?

Yeah, maybe.

Bye.

Who knows?

Maybe someday people will be saying...

Cleo Hewitt once went to this school.

You know it.

Goodbye.

Sweet, sweet.

From his house, to his house, and the world, and his feet.

Sweet, sweet.

Sweet, sweet.

Bye.
