At the time.

To a very different kind of music,

Hey, Kate, I'm getting some static.
Not as much as you're going to get.
So, this is the type of behavior that I can expect.
The minute there's not a teacher in the room,
The entire school erupts
Into a shameless display of adolescent abandon.
If it's discipline that you students need,
I am the one who can provide it for you.
Well, now,
I'm not interested in punishing anyone,
But I think for the good of the whole school,
The person responsible for this deviation from the schedule
Should step forward.
Kate, what are you doing?
What is your name?
Kate Rambeau.
And who are you?
I'm Riff Randell, rock-'n'-roller.
(students laugh)
Obviously you do not know who I am.
I am Miss Togar,
And I am the new principal of this school.
(whoop over pa)
I want you to go to your classes... Now.
This incident is going down on your permanent record,
A record that's going to follow you
Throughout your entire life.
You have managed to upset the entire school
With this godforsaken noise.
Noise? That's the Ramones' best album.
Number one with a bullet.
Randell, I want to see both of you in detention center
Before the next bell, or else.
Oh, Riff, detention center?
I've never served a detention before.
Oh, don't worry.
I've done more detentions than anyone in the school's history.

Whoo-hoo! Come on, Kate. Loosen up.

Oh, come on. It's not the end of the world.

(laughs) oh, boy, detention with my best friend.
I don't understand it.
I mean, I'm captain of the football team...

And soon, I'm gonna be going to the college of my choice.

Nice weather we been havin', huh?
Little dry lately, though,
But I hear it's raining cats and dogs in Idaho.

All right.
What went wrong?
Maybe I'm too forward.
Hi, Tom.
Hey, Shawn, baby, how you doin'?

Nice weather we been havin'' lately, huh?
It's been a little dry, though.
I hear it's been raining cats and dogs in Idaho.

Ever since Togar took office.
The whole school's in turmoil! Well, look.
Look at this.
Fake ids down 50%.
Test answers down 60%.
Hall passes are fallin'' off the board.
Let's get back to you.
Tell me exactly what you want out of life.
I want someone with huge breasts.

Include splitting protons and checkers.

Thank you, Johnny. There she is, Tom.
I had somebody else in mind.
Oh, Tom, my files indicate she's perfect for you.
I know, I know, but I was kinda hopin'
That you'd set me up with Riff Randell.
Riff Randell?
How about a cheerleader? Nice set of pompoms.
No! The only girl I ever dream about at night is Riff,
But I always keep waking up just before the good part.
Well, how are you set for large amounts of hard cash?
(snaps fingers) I have a major credit card.
Uh, Norma, dear?
Yes, Mr. Eaglebauer.
Yes, would you draw up a contract for Tom Roberts

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Randell.

Sorry to hear that, Randell!
Fine. How are you?
Oh, I'm fine, thank you!
Oh, I'd say about a quarter to two.
Come on, Riff, let's go.
But I just had lunch.
So young.
(giggles)
That was close.
We just got out of trouble. You wanna put us back in?
Are you kidding? "what's that thing in your ear?"
She doesn't even know the Beatles broke up.
I know something is going on behind my back.
(chuckles)
You two are not doing your jobs.
Look at me when I'm talking to you.
You're supposed to be my eyes, my ears, my nose.
(both) ahchoo!
Thank you.
If this school is going to get back on the winning track,
We have to start cracking down immediately...
And I know just where to begin.
Ok, you take a note to Mr. Mcgree,
And I want you to take the same note to coach steroid.

Class, I have to go to Miss Togar’s office.
I'd like you to look over the chapter on Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony
While I'm gone.
Oh, and, class, as soon as I get back,
There's going to be a surprise quiz on this material.
(all) aww!
Come on.
Nice work, Rambeau. I knew you could do it.
Ok, now come on down.
I'm stuck.
Nonsense. There's nothing to it.
Just go hand over hand,
But above all, do not slide.

Kate, are you all right?
All right, girls, she's ok. You're ok, Rambeau.
Get up and walk it off.
Come on. Come on, girls.
Let's move it. Hey!

Yes? Note.
"darling Evelyn, how I long for the feel your luscious thighs--"
Oh, wrong note.
All right, class...

Are you ok? I'm going to be gone for a few minutes.
While I'm away, I want you to continue
With your exercises for the day.
(girls) aww! Ah, none of that.
(%% piano) let's have a little enthusiasm.
And a... (blows)
...A-one and a-two and a-jumping up and down.
Come on, girls. That's right.
Peppy!
Keep that up till I get back.
Well, you're probably wondering why I called you here.
Me. I know, I know.
Me. I know.
I know, I know. Me.
Go and monitor the halls.
Since assuming office this morning,
I've noticed a number of peculiar incidents
Among the members of the student body,
All having to do with rock-'n'-roll music.
Miss Togar, I have no particular love for rock-'n'-roll,
But it doesn't seem to me that listening to it
Actually hurts the students.
(laughs) but that's where you're wrong, Mr. Mcgree.
Recently, I have been doing a study
Of mice subjected to rock-'n'-roll music.
Here we have a picture of this mouse,
A typical member of the genus rattus rodenti,
As he appeared before the start of my investigation -
Clean, good-natured,
Content to scamper playfully about his cage.
This is a picture of the same mouse...
One week after the introduction of rock-'n'-roll music.
I never dreamed.
Oh, the results were dramatic.
He lost all interest
In keeping his cage tidy.
How scientific.
He played his electric guitar far into the night,
Keeping the other test animals awake.
He did?
And he met this female mouse,
And they have been sharing a cage together
Out of wedlock.
That's fascinating, Miss Togar.
Yes, it is.
Is she crazy?
She's a principal.
Monitor the hall, monitor the hall.
I am sick of monitoring the hall.
Yep.
Let's go monitor the freshman. Good idea.
Get him.
All right, up against the wall.
Spread 'em.
All right, what the hell do you think you're doing out here?
I was just getting my books.
Listen, you have a hall pass? Well, no.
(both) no hall pass? Hit him, hit him.
Guys, I'm allergic to violence. I break out in blood. Hit him anyway.
Calm down. Let me see some id. I haven't got all day.
I need it for the sock hop tonight.
The sock hop. Who'd dance with you?
All you have is a buck? I'll have that.
Is this you? Well, I take a bad picture.
Tell me about it. (both) ugh.
Listen, I'm gonna give you a demerit. What's a demerit?
If you get enough of 'em, you wind up in Miss Togar's office.
(both) %% demerit, demerit well, what for?
Because... (both) ...You're ugly.
Hit him now. Hit him. Hit him.
I have a great idea. Let's go monitor the girls' gym.
All right. Ok?
(muffled speech)
(%% piano)
(turns music off) what are you doing, Riff?
Gym class called on account of boredom.
Got some of my homework instead.
Homework? Yeah, for Mr. Mcgree's songwriting class.
I've written a song for the Ramones.

Next I investigated reports of loss of hearing by individuals
Due to the high decibel level involved
In playing rock-'n'-roll music.
Put on these ear protective devices,
As I am going to - Mr. Mcgree -
Play a song by the Ramones
At the decibel level consistent with that used
In your average concert.
Your standard mouse
And your standard speakers.
Now, back, back.
This is the rock-o-meter. Gee.
It is used to measure comparative rock-'n'-roll intensity levels.
Watch the mouse while I turn it on.

Yeah, but he's such a dork.
No, he's not. I think he's a fox.

Tom Roberts is so boring, his brother is an only child.
He's not half as hot as Joey Ramone.
Who's Joey Ramone?
Where have you been - Mars?
Earth calling Kate.
He just happens to be the lead singer of the Ramones.
I wish we could see them this Thursday at their concert.
So what's stopping you?
We can't cut classes to stand in line for tickets.
That's right. Oh, please.
Ten years from now, no one will care
If you've ever been to high school, much less skipped a few classes.
You all act as if everything's so important around here.
Just because Togar is stuck in the '50s
Doesn't mean there isn't life after high school.
I've got my own future to think about.
I know I can write for the Ramones.
All I've gotta do is get my songs to them.
They won't be in town for another year,
So I've got to see them now.
Hey, we wanna go as much as you,
But we can't all cut classes.
Well, I guess it's up to me, then,
But you'll have to cover for me, Kate.
I'm gonna take a three-day leave from Camp Lombardi
And be first in line.

Hello, Mr. Eaglebauer.
How are you doing? Great, thank you.
Please, sit down, sit down.
What can I do for you, Kate?
Well, I wanna go out on a date.
Say no more. Eaglebauer enterprises has a man for you.
Tell me, have you had much experience with boys?
Well... Once I played nurse with a boy next door
And got sued for malpractice.
I wish part of Riff would rub off on me.
Everything's so easy for her.
Did you have any one particular person in mind?
Well, I was kind of hoping
That you might fix me up with...
With Tom Roberts.
Tom Roberts? Yeah.
I love him. He's a great guy. I love him.
Well, can you do it?
This will never work.
Tom will never like me. I don't know who I'm kidding.
What possible reason could there be
To put myself through all this?
Sex.
I must admit, as far as reasons go,
It must be one of the best.
Kate, I've known Tom ever since he was a freshman,
When I sold him his first touchdown.
Believe me, you're just the type of girl he goes for.
(%% "did we meet somewhere before?")
Tom, my man.
How's my would-be Romeo? Eaglebauer, what are we doing up here?
I thought we were gonna start training today.
This is the perfect spot for it.
Most romantic setting in the city.
Just you, the skyline and your training partner.
Training partner?
Hi, Tom.
I was kind of expecting Riff Randell.
Eaglebauer, I don't know whether I can go through with this.
Couldn't I just practice with myself?
You done too much of that already. Yeah.
Now, for the next three days,
You two are gonna have nothing but fun.
Now, the first lesson - necking.
The place - lovers' Lane.

The reason -
Well, you're young.
Now, what's the first thing you guys do?
Aw, no, no, no, no.

Is a basic skill that must be mastered.

There is the double hook.
There is the dreaded minihooks.

You're a cheerleader.

A friend that will lead you down the road to expulsion.
I'm a teenage lobotomy.
I have made a full report.
Oh, Mr. Monitor, sir, it's the breathing. It's the...
"you two girls have done nothing but defy me,
You have turned the entire student body against me..."
(gasps) Miss Randell, just what is your problem?
(gulps)
All right, who else has tickets to this concert?
Uh, just us.
We're the only ones.
Miss Togar, perhaps we're taking this a bit too far.
After all, the concert is on their own time, and it's--
Nonsense! They should be made an example for the whole school.
All right, give me your tickets. I will give them to Charity.
No way! Very well.
I'll have my hall monitors take them from you.
(both) body search!
Hey, Riff, thank you.
Thanks for the tickets, Riff.
Hey, Riff, thanks for the ticket.
Yeah, we couldn't have gone without you,
And everybody's gonna be there.
Yeah, we'll see you there. Goodbye.
Thanks. Have a good time.
We won't.
%% yeah, rock, rock, rock %%
(mumbles/sighs)
Can't go to the concert...
Oh, great...
Great day.

It may have taken me two million lawns to mow,
But it was worth it.
(knocks)
Hoo-hoo-hoo.
Look at all this stuff!
Color TV, stereo, wet bar, waterbed!
I'll tell ya, I never knew gettin' laid was so expensive.
Ok, I hope I can remember everything you taught me, though.
Tom, you're nervous.
Here, have a drink. It'll calm you down.
Thanks.
Hey, and whatever you do, don't worry.
Since Riff lost her tickets to the concert,
You can move right in.
She'll be a pushover.
Besides, look how far you've come in three days.
Yeah, but the question is how far will she go tonight?
"if the unknown is 'y' and the binomial is 'x,'
What is the function of the equation 'z'?"
Riff.
Riff! Huh? Uh...
Oh, uh, the, uh,
The, uh, major export of Ecuador is kapok.
Very good, but that's geography, and this is calculus.
Ooh, sorry.
Look at your math book. It looks brand new.
I bet you've never even opened it.
I only use it on special equations.
(giggles)
Oh, I don't feel like studying tonight.
Yeah, I've gotta get home, anyway.
I'm expecting Tom to call me tonight.
You really like him, don't you?
Mm-hmm. I've been seeing a lot of him lately.
You have? Mm-hmm.
Eaglebauer says we were made for one another.
Oh, he did?
I think tonight could be pretty special.
(phone rings)
Hello.
She's on the line.
Great. Just remember what I told you.
Yeah. Hello. Hello, Riff?
Hi. It's Tom.
Tom? Yeah, Tom Roberts. Football player?
No.
I talk about the weather a lot.
Oh, yeah. Hey, Kate, it's Tom Roberts on the phone.
Tom? Why would he call me here?
So how's it been?
Oh.
Little dry lately.
Yeah, but I hear it's raining cats and dogs in Idaho.
Yes. Yes! Oh, man, it's goin' great.
Great. (mutters)
Listen, I'm just lying here in my new van,
On my beautiful waterbed,
Listening to the Ramones' brand-new album
On this fantastically expensive stereo
Wondering if you'd like to maybe go out tonight and get drunk?
All right.
Listen, I really wish you'd reconsider-- what?
Sure, I'll go out with you tonight.
You can't do that. He's mine.
You will?
Just find a date for Kate, ok?
Great, I will. Listen, I'll pick you both up in about an hour.
We got it!
Riff, how can you go out with him?
I never thought about Tom until you mentioned him.
What?!
It'd be a change for me, don't you think?
I never went in much for the jock type. Oh, cut it out.
What about me? What about tonight?
Don't worry. You'll be in the back seat with Eaglebauer.
He's lots of fun. (gags)
I don't wanna have fun. I wanna be with Tom.
(chuckles) hey, I'm only kidding, Kate.
I wouldn't do that to you, huh?
I'll take care of Eaglebauer.
You can have Tom all to yourself.
Hmm? Shouldn't kid like that, Riff.
(mocks) shouldn't kid like that.
You know how hot I am for him. Hot?
Yes, hot. Whoa.
"hot," off the lips of Kate. My goodness. Ha-ha.
Ha-ha, we did it! We did it.
I got you a date with Kate. Whoo-hoo.
Hot equals Joey Ramone.
No, hot equals Tom. Ehh.
Aw, I can't believe it. I can't believe it was that easy.
He looks like a little cherub or something. Looks like he's gonna fly away to Heaven.
He's so sweet-looking, kinda like a cream puff.
That's why I like him.
I like Joey Ramone 'cause he's tall and handsome.
He looks like a poem to me. A poem?
We get them drunk, we go in the back, we hit the waterbed...
We gotta take turns in the back.
All he eats is pizza.
I just love the way he holds the pizza dripping above his mouth.
He slithers and slides it into his mouth.
It's so sexy the way it... (slurps)
Gross.

What album? Oh, what album?
Oh, what is it? Is it road to ruin?
Yes, that's it! Oh, Kate, how'd you know?
It says it right here on the cassette.
Quick, where's a phone? Where's a phone? We've gotta get to a phone!
Right over there. Aah!
...Very special. What I'm trying to say is, dear, I'd like to ask--
This is very difficult. Please don't hang up.
I'd like to ask you to-to-to be my wife.
Sorry, but you're not my type.

Oh, please, God, don't let it be busy.

Hello? Yes, the answer is "road to ruin."
Aah! We won! We won!
What? Yes, it's Riff Randell and Kate Rambeau.
Of course we'll be there. Yes, thank you. Oh, thank you.
Oh, we're going.
Oh, Kate, we're going, we're going. Oh, we're going.
Aah! What about Tom?
Oh, come on. How often do you get to see the Ramones?
Oh, but tonight we were gonna be meant for each other.
This is my big Chance to get my songs to them. We have to go.
You'll have a great time.
(screamin' Steve) and the super-lucky winners of the two free tickets
For tonight's Ramones concert
Are Riff Randell and Kate Rambeau.

Hello? Hello? Tom?
Kate and I can't make it tonight. We've been in a horrible seven-car accident.
We've gotta go to the hospital for immediate blood transfusions.
We'll see you tomorrow in school. Bye.
Aah!
I think he took it well. Let's go get dressed.
But I am dressed. Yeah, but not for the Ramones.
I got clothes that'll make you fit right in.
Come on, sexy.
The only thing I'll ever lay is a carpet.
You can't take this lying down.
You gotta crash that concert, grab her up into your arms.
Love conquers all.
Besides, I'd have to give ya a refund.

(man #3) how old's that guy? Look at the way he's dressed.
Oh, I'm sorry, we don't let any more mice in here.
They've been exploding all over the place.
Oh, you got headphones? Great, great.
Just don't get too close to the pa. Wait, here's your stub.
Ok, go on in. Enjoy the show.

Really, have you ever seen anyone...

Bottles, cans, cameras on ya?
No, nothing. Nothing.

Hi, gang!
This is screamin' Steve Stevens
Steamin' your way over station 666
With the screamin' Steve show.
(man) oh, wow!
(gunshot sound effect)
We're comin' at ya, alive and kickin',
With the hottest band this side of the iron curtain -
The Ramones!
(man) you know it, Steve.
(woman) we love you, Ramones!
Dig it.
But first, I'd like to introduce the two winners
Of the Charity ticket raffle
Donated by the principal of Vince Lombardi high!
(man) Togar eats it!
(woman yells)
Sister Maria Teresa and sister Teresa Maria.
(concert over radio)
Now, that's a step in the right direction.
And to keep this administration moving forward,
I've made a list of new school policy,
Which I would like instituted immediately.
Take this down.
Girls - skirts below their knees
And boys' hair above their collar.
And I think it would be tidy if they wore neckties.
And lunch is to be cut down
To half an hour
Because I am doubling up on silent study hall.
Well, I think that should teach them a lesson in deportment.
How do you spell that?
D-e-portment.
Now I want you to meet the two winners
Of the screamin' Steve ticket contest -
Riff Randell and Kate Rambeau!
(cheering)
(all) yay, Riff!
You're live on the air, girls.
Why don't you say a few words to the folks at home? Go.
On behalf of the students from Vince Lombardi high who are here tonight,
I'd just like to say one thing -
Screw you, principal Togar. We made it to the concert, anyway! Yeah!
Who says today's youth has nothin' to say, huh?
(inaudible yelling)
Those girls have turned the whole school against me.
Hansel, Gretel.
I want you to crash that concert.
I want Randell and Rambeau brought back here immediately.
So you're Kate Rambeau, huh? Yeah.
I just loved your latest scientific American.
Thanks.
Hey, would you two lovely ladies
Like to see screamin' Steve in action
As he interviews the Ramones?
Oh, great. I know just the questions to ask.
That's beautiful, 'cause I can't think of a thing.
I've waited so long to see them. I know they're gonna love my songs.
I can believe it. Ya ready? Here we go.
Hey, you wanna keep it down out here?
They're tuning up. How'd you get in there?
Professional secret. What's this stuff?
Stuff is gonna prove to the Ramones that I can write songs for them,
So out of my way, dew drop.
I'm sorry, but the Ramones' manager,
A personal friend of mine,
Put me in charge of keeping everyone out.
What's all the trouble, Angel, baby, huh?
Screamin'. Well...
Good to see ya. Long time, right?
Uh, who are these two?
These are screamin' Steve's contest winners.
Oh, uh, sorry, girls, you'll have to wait outside.
Oh, man... Can't we just watch?
Angel dearest, why don't you see these sweet young things to their seats?
We'll go ourselves, thanks.
It's gonna be ok. Yeah.
Screamin', I was wondering if you could give us a little more airtime.
I'm hittin' it once an hour.
You can do a little better.
Hey-ho, let's go!

"all my friends from Vince Lombardi high are here tonight.
"even though our principal Miss Togar thinks you make nothin' but noise,
I think you're the greatest."
Do you mean you signed up with Eaglebauer to be with me?
Yes.
Listen, I'm glad you're not Riff.
What do you say we become friends, anyway?
"please dedicate your next song to my friends Tom and Kate.
Love, your number one fan, Riff Randell."
Ok, this is for Tom and Kate, from our number one fan.

Have you seen two young high school girls around?
Yeah, I got 'em on me.
(both) body search! Aah!
Is he all right?
Hey, pizza! Great.
What are you doing here? These are my songs.
I've been trying to get them to you for the longest time.
Hey, it's Riff Randell, our number one fan.
Oh, wow, you remembered my name.
This is the big time, girlie. This is rock-'n'-roll.
Yeah, well, this is "rock 'n' roll high school."
"rock 'n' roll high school"?
Yeah, I wrote it for Mr. Mcgree's music class,
But I really wrote it for you, Joey.
Hey, pizza! It's great. Let's dig in.
Yeah, I want some. Oh, thanks.
How many times do I have to tell you? No pizza for you, Joey.
More wheat germ and riboflavin.
Yeah, come on, Joey. Eat. Good.
I'm gonna eat some myself. Mmm. Mmm.
Organic alfalfa sprouts. Come on, Joey.
Good. Mmm. Come on, eat, Joey. Good boy. Yeah.
Mama'll love ya. You like it, huh? Huh? Good, yeah.
Iron, niacin, b12.
Grown from the earth. Good...
I'll cherish this moment forever.
This is how I like to see you, my son.
Ok. Ok, girlie, the boys'll take a look at 'em
And get back to you tomorrow, huh?
Yeah, we're gonna be in town one more day,
And if we like 'em, we'll come pay you and Mr. Mcglibb a visit.
Say hi to Vince for us. Oh, wow.
This is the happiest day of my life.
Gabba gabba, hey.
(birds chirping)
And I say to you parents,
This high school is a failure.
The past semester has been a black Mark
On the proud tradition of Vince Lombardi high.
Student Riff Randell alone has disrupted classes...
They can't say I haven't contributed anything.
...And banded the students against me
To attend a concert of the Ramones.
Hey, yeah! That's right.
...That awful rock and roll music.
You see before you my first major step
In putting this school back on the winning track.
I give you...
The final solution.
(students gasp)
Those are our records.
Hey, gimme those.
(all complain)
And this is what we think of the Ramones...
(boy) we've gotta stop her!
Somebody stop her! She can't do that!
(boy #2) hey!
Miss Togar,
I cannot stand by and allow you to do this.
Then stand aside, Mr. Mcgree.
Let me through.
(Eaglebauer) she's burning our records! We gotta stop her!
(Tom) I'll get the hose.
Togar!
That's the last straw, Randell.
Detention... For life!
(%% "school's out" by Alice Cooper)
%% school's out for Summer
(all yelling)
(Riff) let's take the school.
My darling Evelyn, how I long for the feel of your luscious thighs.
See you later, Togar. It's already fifth period.
(boy) she's gonna call the cops.
%% no more pencils
%% no more books... %%
Hey, come on, you guys. Follow me into the school.
I regret that I have only one life to give for rock-'n'-roll.
You belong in school with us, Mr. Mcgree. Come on.
Things sure have changed since we got kicked out of high school.
Oh. Where are you going? To Mr. Mcgree's class.
Well, I'm happy to see some students still are interested
In their studies.
We're not students. We're the Ramones.
Ramones? You're responsible for making that horrible rock-'n'-roll music?
You turned the whole school against me.
(cheering)
Do your parents know that you're Ramones?
(cheering)
Come on in.
(girl) yay, Ramones!
(boy) kill the principal!

Hey, quiet! Quiet, everybody! Listen!
This is your principal - Miss Evelyn Togar!
I wanna speak to Riff Randell.
Quiet! Come on. Into my office.
I don't think it's working.
I know how to... You don't think it's working?
Start talking, Togar. It's your dime.
Ok, Randell. I know we've had our differences in the past,
But I think it's time we tried to understand one another.
I think the problem is clear.
I am a reasonable, well-educated, mature adult member of society,
And you are a spoiled heathen punk who has taken over my school.
(applause)
So let's make a deal.
I can have you expelled and turned over to the police.
But I'm gonna forget about that
And just put one black Mark on your permanent record
That will follow you throughout the rest of your life...
(all murmur)
...If you'll just come out of there right now.
(all protest)
I don't think one more black Mark is gonna make too much of a difference.
Eaglebauer, your partner, comes through again. All right.
(screams)
Here's what I think about your school records, Togar!
You handled that very well, Miss Togar.
What's that?
I don't know. I...
Miss Togar!
(both yelling)
Well, now they've done it. Destroying government property.
I think ya failed, Miss Togar. I think we're gonna have to do it my way.
I think you're right.
Randell, I just talked to the chief of police.
You're not out in five minutes, he's going to Storm the building.
Well, you heard it, folks.
Miss Togar has just given the students of rock-'n'-roll high
An ultimatum.
A classic confrontation between mindless authority
And the rebellious nature of youth.
The moment of truth is at hand. What will these kids do next?
Boy, this sure is rock-'n'-roll high school.
Yeah, we liked it so much, we're gonna play it on our next album.
To show our appreciation, we're gonna make you an honorary Ramone.
(students cheering)
(girl yells)
Hey, guys, people say that your music is loud
And destructive and lethal to mice,
But I think you're the Beethovens of our time.
That was a good one, Mr. Mcgree.
(timer ticking)
Kate, is it a go? It's a go.
All right! Everybody follow me. We're gonna evacuate.
I guess we should rush the building.
Not so fast. Look.
They're coming out.
It's over.
We won.
Ladies and gentlemen, school is out.
It appears as if the final bell has rung for these students.
Has Riff Randell given up?
Has she and her fellow classmates
Failed Miss Togar’s final exam?
Is this the end of rock-'n'-roll high?
Just what do you have to say for yourself, young lady?
I have seen the errors of my ways.
I'd just like to say to all students everywhere
That you may think the school is yours for a while,
But it's always run by the principal and her administration.
That's nice.
Vince Lombardi high is...
Is your school, Miss Togar,
So you can have it.
Well, I'm very happy to see that you've come to your senses.
And what would you have done with the school, anyway?
Rock the roof off it. Hit it, Marky!

Well, that about wraps it up here at rock-'n'-roll high.
Remember, if your principal ever gives you trouble
And you want this to happen at your school,
You just give old screamin' Steve a call.
I'm in the book under "screamin'"!
