The School of Rock - Discussing Musical Influences in a Rock Band
Dewey:
Look, the first thing you do when you start a rock band is talk about your influences. That's how you figure out what kind of band to be. So who do you like? Blondie?
Marta:
Christina Aguilera.
Dewey:
Who? No! Come on. What? You, Shortstop.
Leonard:
Puff Daddy.
Dewey:
Wrong. Billy?
Billy:
Liza Minnelli?
Dewey:
What are you...? You guys! This project is called "Rock Band". I'm talking about bands that rock. Led Zeppelin.
Dewey:
Don't tell me you guys have never got the Led out. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant? Ring any bells? What about Sabbath? AC/DC? Motörhead?! OH, WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THIS PLACE?!

The School of Rock - Introducing a New Class Project: Rock Band
Dewey:
Now, listen, normal kids would have been stoked to slack off, but not you guys, because you're not normal, you're special. And because I think you guys have the right attitude, I think it's time we started our new class project.
Lawrence:
A science project?
Dewey:
No. It's called... "Rock Band".
Marta:
Is this a school project?
Dewey: [points to his head; points to his jaw; points to his forehead]
Yes. And it's a requirement. And it may sound easy, but nothing could be harder. It will test your head , and your mind , and your brain too .
Summer:
Will other schools be competing?
Dewey:
You could say that. You could say that every school in the state will be competing for the top prize.
Billy:
What's the prize?
Dewey:
A win will go on your permanent record. Hello Harvard, Yo?
