The School of Rock - Band Dynamics and Serious Competition
Dewey:
Hey! What's up? Is that a new song? Who's this guy?
Theo:
Dewey, we're taking the Battle of the Bands seriously this year.
Dewey:
Good, because I need the money. Now, listen. If we're gonna win this thing, we gotta actually start playing some music.
Theo:
I agree. You're fired.
Dewey:
Your lyrics, now, don't take this the wrong way, Theo, are lame. But I've been sitting on some awesome material, so...
Theo:
Dewey, did you hear what I said? We voted. You're out. This is Spider; he's replacing you.
Spider:
What's up, dawg?
Neil:
I was gonna tell you last night, Dewey, but you passed out, man.
Dewey:
Okay, you're gonna kick me out of the band? You're gonna fire me? Well, this is my band. I brought us together.
Neil:
Theo wanted you out. There's nothing I could do.
Theo:
Shut up, man. You voted him out, too. I didn't tell you what to do. Dewey, listen to me. You're a good guitar player, but it's the 20-minute solos, it's the stage dives. We're trying to land a record deal here, man, and you're an embarrassment.
Dewey: [raises three fingers]
Read between the lines, Theo. Read between the lines!
Neil:
Dewey, man, I hope this doesn't come between us. Like, I care about you, man.
Dewey:
You guys, you know what? You're nuts. You're all nuts. You've been focused so hard on making it, you forgot about one thing. It's called the music. And I don't even care. You know what? So what? I don't wanna hang out with wannabe corporate sellouts. I'm gonna form my own band and we're gonna start a revolution, okay? And you're gonna be a funny little footnote on my epic ass. I feel sorry for you guys.
