doesn't already have a GSA?

If you want to start a new club,

you have to petition

through the school board.

I can't help with that.

For I know that I'll never

Live happily ever after

'Til after I'm a bride

Too forte at the end?

"Forte" means loud,

in musical terms.

I'll teach you all the terms.

Don't worry.

Just wish me luck.

Luck.

Did you have fun last night?

...Happily ever after

'Til after I'm a bride

Then I'll be happily happy

Yes, happily happy...

Hey, Arnett.

How well did you

sweep the stage?

I'm dancing barefoot.

It's clean.

FYI, Mr. Healy,

I'll be performing

all songs as written.

That means that this Lady Larken

will still be pregnant,

as per the author's

original intent.

Diwata, honey, I have to manage

complaints from parents.

This is a high school.

We don't want to make it seem like

we're glorifying a pregnant woman

who isn't in

a stable relationship.

It's just a little trashy.

Sorry, Candace.

Marty, if I start to riff,

you gotta hang with me, bud.

Don't get thrown

like last year, okay?

No, Diwata, last year,

we talked about bringing

your own material

in to my auditions.

Chill, Mr. Healy.

It's a medley.

A med... How is that different?

[exhales deeply]

Oh, here we go.

[piano music playing]

The actress hasn't

Learned the lines

You'd like to hear

She won't join your clubs

She won't dance

In your halls

She won't help

The hungry once a month

At your tombolas

She'll simply take control

As you disappear

And I am not

Throwin' away my shot

I am not

Throwin' away my shot

Yo, I'm just like my country

I'm young, scrappy

And hungry

No, I'm not

Throwin' away my shot

We're gonna rise up

Time to take a shot

We're gonna rise up

Time to take a shot

We're gonna rise up

Rise up

Rise up, rise up

How would you like it

If you were a man

Playing the part of a toad?

Crawling around on your

Elbows and knees

Eating the dust in the road

Toads, toads

All of your people

Are toads

Then I'll be happily happy

Yes, happily happy

And thoroughly satisfied

Satisfied

Satisfied

Whoa, yeah

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

[school bell rings]

[student 1]

Just pick one, Solomon.

[student 2]

Yeah, man. Hurry up.

I can't choose

any of these topics.

Then follow the rules,

or you can leave.

I'm sorry, but I don't

have time for this every week.

Great choice.

Hey. I was wondering

if I could interview you

for an article I'm writing

about the auditions...

for the school paper.

I'm Solomon.

We're friends on Facebook.

I've liked a lot

of your Instagram posts.

Hey.

[phone vibrating]

Seriously, Mark?

You know, I was once

upon your mattress.

Okay, everyone, just remember,
