Sandy, don't talk that way. But it's true. I've just had the best summer of my life and now I have to go back to Salt Lake. It isn't fair. Danny, don't spoil it. It's not spoiling it. It's only making it better. Is this the end? Don't think about that. Just be here in the moment. All that matters is what's happening right now. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) # I saw my problems and I'll see the light # We got a lovin' thing, we gotta feed it right # There ain't no danger we can go too far # We start believin' now that we can be who we are # Grease is the word # They think our love is just a growin' pain # Why don't they understand? # It's just a cryin' shame # Their lips are lyin', only real is real # We stop the fight right now, we got to be what we feel # Grease is the word # Grease is the word, is the word that you heard # It's got groove, it's got meaning # Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion # Grease is the way we are feeling # We take the pressure, and we throw away # Conventionality, belongs to yesterday # There is a chance that we can make it so far # We start believin' now that we can be who we are # Grease is the word # Grease is the word, is the word, that you heard # It's got groove, it's got meaning # Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion # Grease is the way we are feelin' # This is a life of illusion, a life of control # Mixed with confusion, what are we doin' here? # We take the pressure, and we throw away # Conventionality belongs to yesterday # There is a chance that we can make it so far # We start believin' now that we can be who we are # Grease is the word # Grease is the word, is the word that you heard # It's the groove, it's the meaning # Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion # Grease is the way we are feelin' # Hey, hey, yeah # Whoo, ah # Doo doo doo # Da da # Doo doo doo # Da da # Da ya ya ya # Da da da da oh # Grease is the word, is the word, that you heard # It's got groove, it's got meaning # Groove and meaning # Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion # Grease is the way we are feelin' # Yeah # Yeah, yeah # Grease is the word, is the word, is the word # Word # (CHEERING) (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) Whoo! Hey, hey, hey! Whoo! Doody! Hey, Kenickie! Where were you all summer? I was working, which is more than any of you skids can say. Working? Yeah, I got a job lugging boxes at Bargain City. Great practice for after you graduate. Eat me! I'm saving up for a new set of wheels. You got 'em yet? Pickin' 'em up next week. Put a little bit of spit shine on it and Leo and the Scorpions are gonna eat my dust. (LAUGHTER) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Danny. Hi. Hey. How you been...uh...? Cindy. Right. We had Chemistry together last year. I'm sure we did. Well, maybe this year you could give me a hand with my Biology. Yeah, sure. Yeah? Hey, Zuko! (ALL CHEER) (LAUGHTER) Already fillin' out your dance card? Nah. It's all the same chicks as last year. What did you do for vacation? Didn't see you round the neighbourhood. I was down the beach, lifeguarding and whatnots. Must be tough with all those chicks hanging around. The only things that hang around Sonny are the flies. Ha-ha (!) You ever gonna learn to play that? I've been practising. I already know three chords. Wanna hear? ALL: No! Hey, how was the action down at the beach? Oooh! It was flipping. Yeah, was it...was it...crazy? You know, uh... ..I did meet this one chick. She was... ..she was sort of cool. You mean she puts out? Is that all you ever think about? That's all any of us think about! Grow up! What's with you? Nothing. Hey! What you got there, Eugene? Give me back my Rocket Club poster. Maybe we'll send you into space instead of monkeys. Space is the next frontier. For you, puberty's the next frontier. (THEY MAKE MONKEY NOISES) Here. Now beat it. (SCHOOL BELL RINGS) Get outta here! Jeez, every teacher I got this year has already flunked me. Better be careful or you'll be spending all your time in McGee's office. No way. I ain't taking none of her crap this time. Oh, yeah? Yeah. This year I'll make that old broad wish she'd never seen me. That's what I wished for last year. (CLEARS THROAT) Now, why don't you be a doll, Sonny, and make an old broad's dreams come true. I've got 17 years to retirement and I would love to see you leave Rydell before I do. Principal McGee, I... Aren't you supposed to be in Home Room, Mr LaTierre? This is no way to start a new semester. No, ma'am. Well, are you gonna stand there all day? Yes, ma'am. I mean, no, ma'am. I mean no, no, I'm not. So move! OK. Grrrrr! (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) I'm glad you didn't take any of her crap, Sonny. Shut up! Just shut up! (LAUGHTER) Girls, home room now! You, too, Miss Rizzo. Oh, we're just trying to start our senior year off right, Principal McGee. Mm-hm (!) Because this year we're gonna rule the school! Euw! Jan, Twinkies are SO adolescent. We are adolescent. No need to flaunt it. OK, girls, let's go get 'em. (WOLF WHISTLE) Hello, ladies. Hey, Jan, that looks good. See? You have an OK summer, Marty? Oh, you know, cocktail parties, some travel. You call a week at a trailer park travel? We had our own shower. Looking good today, Rizzo. Oh, thanks, Nickie. You don't look so bad yourself. Zuke? Rizz? Come on, guys. Let's go, ladies. (SCATTERED DROP) Oh fudge! Am I late? Am I gonna get in trouble? I didn't know where to catch the bus so I ended up walking. I'm from Utah. That's a heck of a walk. We just moved here. Oh, here, let me help you. I'm Sandy, by the way. Frenchy. Welcome to Rydell. Thanks. Do you know where room 207 is? 207. Hey, we got Home Room together! Mr Griggs. Is he nice? Yeah. He teaches health class. But mostly he just sits in the corner and smokes. I've a feeling I'm not in Salt Lake anymore. (PLAYS ASCENDING NOTES ON XYLOPHONE) Good morning, boys and girls. And welcome to Rydell. I'm not sure yet if this year's seniors will be the best class of the decade, but at least you'll be the last. So let's start off the class of 1959's final year on a high note. (PIANO INTRO) # As I go travelling down life's highway # Whatever course my fortunes may foretell # I shall not go alone on my way # For thou shalt always be with me, Rydell # (THEY CONTINUE HUMMING THE TUNE) Now for a few short announcements. We have a new Rocket Club starting up for our space enthusiasts, led by our own Eugene Felsnick. And speaking of explosives, the school district has decided this year to suspend our duck-and-cover exercises at the high school level since most of you are too big to fit under the desks. But please note, we are actively looking for a place to build a new bomb shelter, with enough room for almost everyone. Oh! Next Friday will be our first Pep Rally. And everyone knows, you can't have pep without cheer. So don't forget to sign up for cheerleading, girls, unless, of course, you had a previous head injury. I want to see plenty of support for Coach Calhoun and the Rydell Rangers. Remember, if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter. And finally, the National Bandstand television show is considering Rydell as a representative American high school, to broadcast live from our gym. If chosen, we will have the chance to show the entire nation what bright, clean-cut, wholesome students we have here at Rydell. Good luck to us all. # Though all the years, Rydell # And tears, Rydell # We give three cheers, Rydell # For thee # Through everything, Rydell # We cling, Rydell # And sing, Rydell # To thee # Oh, that was a nice, tight, cut-off. Thank you, Reginald. Did you guys get a look at Zuko this morning? He's looking pretty good this year, huh, Rizz? That's ancient history. Well, you never know. Sometimes history repeats itself. Hey, guys. Hey, French. This here, is Sandy Young. Have a seat, honey. This is Marty, that's Jan and Rizzo. Sandy just moved here all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah. Salt Lake, huh? That means you're one of those, uh... Skiers. Oh, well, it's all downhill from here. Hey, Marty, those new glasses? I got 'em just for school. You think they make me look smarter? Sure, until you open your mouth. How would you like a fruit cocktail down your bra? I'll take it. The corn syrup is full of vitamins. Hi, kids! If it's not Patty Simcox, the bad seed of Rydell. Hi! Oh, I just love the first day of school, don't you? Oh, it's the biggest thrill of my life (!) (GASPS) They just announced this year's nominees for Student Council. And guess who's up for vice president? Who? Me! Oh, isn't it the most, to say the least?! The very least. I just hope I don't make too poor a showing. Are we still talking about this? Oh, you must think I am the rudest and crudest for not introducing myself to your friend. Hi. I'm Patty Simcox. Welcome to Rydell... (SHRIEKS) (LAUGHTER) It's a Macintousch. (LAUGHTER) Anyway... ..I hope you'll be at cheerleader trials. We'll have so much fun and get to be lifelong friends. Have you ever cheered before? A little, back home. I might remember a few routines. I'm cheer captain for the past two years plus All-State gymnastics. But, hey, you can't have a pyramid without the people on the bottom. What's your schedule? How do you like Sandy? Think we could let her into the Pink Ladies? She looks too pure to be pink. What do you think. You guys going up for football this year? With Tom Chisum as captain? You kidding? Dingleberries on parade! (SHOUTING AND LAUGHTER) Hey, did you guys see that hot chick at registration? Sure beat some foam domes around here. You mean her jugs are bigger than Annette's? Nobody's jugs are bigger than Annette's. Hey, I wanna hear what Danny did down at the beach. All right. It was nothing. Sure, nothing, Zuko. come on! You got in her drawers, right? Tell us about the girl. So what did you do this summer, Sandy? Oh, I spent most of it at the beach. I met a boy there. Hauled your cookies all the way to the beach for some guy? He was sort of special. There ain't no such thing. Oh, you haven't met this boy. It was really romantic. (ALL SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT) You guys really wanna hear all the horny details? (EXCITED SHOUTING) All right, all right, all right. # Summer loving had me a blast # Summer loving happened so fast # I met a girl crazy for me # Met a boy cute as can be DANNY & SANDY: # Summer days drifting away # To uh-uh, oh, those summer nights BOYS: # Well-a well-a well-a huh # Tell me more, tell me more # Did you get very far? GIRLS: # Tell me more, tell me more # Like does he have a car? # Uh-huh doo-doo uh-huh doo-doo uh-huh doo-doo # She swam by me she got a cramp # He swam by me, got my suit damp # I saved her life, she nearly drowned # He showed off, splashing around DANNY & SANDY: # Summer sun something's begun # But uh, oh, these summer nights # Well-a well-a well-a huh # Tell me more, tell me more # Was it love at first sight? # Tell me more, tell me more # Did she put up a fight? # Uh huh-huh, huh-huh # Doo-be-doo-be # Huh-huh, huh-huh, huh-huh # Doo-be-doo-be, doo-be-doo-be # Took her bowling in the Arcade # We went strolling, drank lemonade # We made out under the dock # We stayed out till ten o'clock DANNY & SANDY: # Summer fling don't mean a thing # But uh, oh, those summer nights # Oh, oh, oh # Tell me more, tell me more # But you don't gotta brag # Tell me more, tell me more # Cos he sounds like a drag # Shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop # shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop shoo-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop, yeah # He got friendly, holding my hand # She got friendly down in the sand # He was sweet, just turned eighteen # She was good, you know what I mean DANNY & SANDY: # Summer heat, boy and girl meet # But uh, oh, the summer nights # Oh, oh, oh # Tell me more, tell me more # How much dough did he spend? # Tell me more, tell me more # Could she get me a friend? (SLOWER PACED MUSIC) # It turned colder, that's where it ends # So I told her we'd still be friends # Then we made our true love vow # Wonder what she's doing now # Summer dreams ripped at the seams # Bu-ut...oh... # Those summer nights # Tell me more # Tell me mor-or-ore # (CHEERING) I wonder how many spots they have on the squad? Well, I'm sure there's plenty of room for you, candy cane. I keep thinking about that boy you told us about. He sounds so nice. Yeah, real marriage material. Like Rock Hudson. True love. True love and he didn't lay a hand on you? Sounds like a creep. He was a gentleman. Then he wasn't from around here. The Rydell boys are so immature. Hey, four eyes! Stop it, dirtbag! So what's your guy's name, anyway? Danny. Danny Zuko. Well, that's...a nice name. Did you ever get around to asking where this Danny Zuko goes to school? He goes to a fancy boarding school. He's an Honours student. Oh, imagine that. I know. It's almost as if he was too good to be true. Well, I think he sounds peachy-keen. And you never know. Maybe Prince Charming will show up again... somewhere unexpected. Knock 'em dead. Come on, girls. But, Rizz... When the time is right. You think she's right, Frenchy? About what? Seeing Danny again. I feel like he was really the one. Oh... Well, anything's possible. But, hey, remember... ..life doesn't revolve around men. We girls gotta be our own people. Like they tell us in Home Ec. Stop! Vandal! You're supposed to be at cheerleading tryouts. Not till three. It's 2.57. What do you think you're doing? I need space for my Rocket Club poster. Back away before I call the authorities. I have to get my message across. But people are sick of it. Clearly you know nothing about politics. What if I deliver the unpopular vote? (CHUCKLES) Please! Why do I need votes from losers? Because we're the majority. (WHEEZY HALTING LAUGH) I'll give you from there over. Thank you. This never happened. (PLAYS ASCENDING NOTES) (PLAYS RANDOM NOTES) Good afternoon, boys and girls. Here's a quick announcement that tryouts for this year's cheerleading squad are about to begin. And we all know nothing makes a cheerleader more nervous than when she's late. Now, Coach Calhoun has advised me that some of you may be asked to attempt a pyramid formation, so, ladies, please, put safety first and wear appropriate undergarments. Remember, your future hangs in the balance. Ready, OK! ALL CHANT: Go, go, go, Rydell Go, go, go, Rydell Tell every team in town to go and take a hike And go to hell-o Hello, hello, victory (CHEERING) Candidates, please observe. Ready. ALL: OK! With a V, with an I, with a V-I-C With a T, with an O, with a T-O-R With an O, with an R, with an O-R-Y # Victory, victory for Rydell High! (CHEERING) (PARADE-MARCHING MUSIC) How come we never try out for cheerleading? Well, I prefer to do my screaming in private. I read in McCall's that men really respect cheerleaders. Almost as much as secretaries. (CHEERING) See? Easy, right? OK, who's ready to try out? Oh, come on, don't be shy. Let's see. Hmm. How about... (GASPS) Sandy Young? Yep! Get on up here, you! All right. Everyone, this is Sandy. Hi. Sandy is new to Rydell, so we can't expect her to know all the routines by heart. But she's gonna give it her best shot. Right, Sandy? I'll try. Oh, you poor thing. (LAUGHTER) OK. Watch this. Mr conductor, if you please. (MUSIC WITH DRUM BEAT) High V, low V, clap, clap, clap Prep, swing, kick, slap! Think you can handle that? I hope so. Great. Hit it! (MUSIC STARTS) High V, low V, clap, clap, clap Prep, swing, kick, slap. (CHEERING) Not bad. OK, OK, let's try something a teensy weensy bit more complicated. Sure. Mr conductor, if you please. (MUSIC STARTS) ..and finish! (MUSIC STOPS) (MUSIC STARTS) ..and finish! (CHEERING) Is that OK? Am I all done? Nope. Um...you definitely have some basic skills but you need more than that to make this squad. Are you familiar with the middle section of the North West Spirit Cheer as performed in last year's National Cheer Meet, Junior Division? I think I might know that one. It's probably a simpler version. (HARSHLY) Mr conductor, if you please! (MUSIC STARTS) (JAZZED UP MUSIC) (CHEERING) (PARADE MARCHING MUSIC) (CHEERING) (MUSIC STOPS) That's the spirit. That's the spirit! Settle. Now settle. Settle. Let's settle, please. Now, boys and girls, welcome to the Rydell Rangers pep rally! (CHEERING) Settle. Settle. Settle. And now, boys and girls, I give you the man of the hour. The man who, after seven seasons coaching the football team, is uniquely qualified to pull the Rydell Rangers out of their seven-season slump. Our very own Coach Calhoun! (CHEERING) Who's the best? ALL: Rydell! Give 'em hell, Rydell! (CHEERING) Oh, sorry, ladies. We have a banner year coming up. And I'll tell you what I told my boys. We may not have size, speed or skill on our side, but after seven years we have something better. Know what that is? The law of averages! (CHEERING) Yeah! Give a hop, give a yell, lose your top for Old Rydell! Boo-ba-boo-boo-boo... Hey, guys... ..be cool. You heard the man. We're cool. Pep ain't cool. Kenickie's late. Let's go in. Fellas, I'm up to four chords. You wanna hear? No! Hey, guys, here comes Kenickie! (CHEERING) So what do you think? What a hunk of junk! Wait till I give it a paint job and soup up the engine. She'll run like a champ. I'm gonna race her. What? This jalopy? You are cruising for a bruising. You watch. I'm gonna race her at Thunder Road. You couldn't race that thing in my grandma's driveway. What are you Scorpions doing here? This here's our turf. Not for long if you plan to hold it down with a beat-up tin can like that. If my friend here says he'll race Thunder Road, he'll race Thunder Road. That's right. Oh, OK. Well, you just tell me when. Meantime, I wouldn't work on this thing indoors cos clearly the fumes is already getting to your heads. Come on, fellas. Hey, yeah. Nick, let's go in. I wanna go sort out this year's assortment of pom-poms. They're all the same. Not when you shake 'em. (LAUGHTER) Here we go, here we go, here we go! I wanna see 'em in their skirts! (CHEERING) So, in conclusion... ..I want you all to remember this. Out on that field... ..all that matters is who wants it more. And here at Rydell, we want it! (CHEERING) We've never had it, so we really want it! (CHEERING) And when we finally get it, we're gonna come back here and ring that victory bell! (CHEERING) Ring that victory... Where the hell is the bell? Um...we think that maybe someone stole it. It's been so long. (MOUTHS) Go Rangers! (CHEERING) What was he talking about? I have no idea. You're pretty. Thank you. You are, too. Sandy. Hey, Frenchy! You look simply divine out there. Thank you. I'm having a sleepover tonight. Do you wanna come? Sure. Oh, except... Your folks won't let ya? They are pretty strict. It's not as if there's gonna be boys there or anything. It's going to be a kind of...uh...initiation. You mean to be a Pink Lady? Maybe. We'll see. Wow, OK. I'll figure something out. What time shall I get there? 8.30? Or is that past your bedtime? No, on Fridays it isn't till ten. Come on, Sandy. (FRENCHY AND SANDY MOVE AWAY) I still don't know about this. You're just sore about Danny? (SCOFFS) Is that true? Please. As a matter of fact... Oh, Sandy. What are you doing? Well, the time is right. Yeah, Rizz? We got a little surprise for you. Follow me. OK, so, you with me here or what? You got vision, my friend. If we fix up that car, it could be make-out city. The chick's gonna have to put out before she even gets in. (LAUGHTER) Hey, Zuke. Rizz? What do you want? I got a surprise for you. Oh, yeah? Oh, yeah. (BOYS TAUNT) Sandy? Danny? What are you doing here? I-I thought you had to go back to Utah? We had a change of plans. What happened to your boarding school? No, I just didn't want you to think... (SCOFFS) I just didn't want no ties, you know what I'm sayin'? I mean, you know how it is. Rockin' and rollin' and whatnot. Danny? That's my name. Don't wear it out. What's the matter with you? What's the matter with me, baby? What's the matter with you? What happened to the Danny Zuko I met at the beach? I dunno. Maybe there's two of us. Take out a missing persons ad, try the Yellow Pages. I don't know. You lied to me? You're a fake and a phony and I wish I'd never laid eyes on you! (BOYS LAUGH) I bet that's not all she laid on you. You happy, Rizz? Yeah, come to think of it. Girls. Hey, let's chip in for a six-pack. I swiped my brother's ID. Danny! Coming or what? Yeah. Come on, Sandy, it's not as bad as all that. Yes, it is. Men are rats. Worse. They're fleas on rats. They're amoebas on fleas on rats. They're too low for even dogs to bite. The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Well, see you tonight. Hey, Zuko. What's the matter? Nothing. I'll catch up with you in a minute. (PARADE-MARCHING MUSIC IN BACKGROUND) # Summer dreams # Ripped at the seams (PARADE-MARCHING MUSIC) (CHEERING) TV: 'Ipana presents... (SHRIEK) ..Bucky Beaver Space Guard! # (SINGS ALONG) Brusha brusha brusha # Here's a new Ipana # With a brand new flavour # It's dandy for your teeth # Frenchy, my toes! Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. Here, I got Cutex. (TV OFF) You've had a rough day. That Zuko's got some nerve. He's so terribly immature. He was so different at the beach. Yeah, that's why I prefer a more wordly kind of guy. Excuse me. I'm feeling a teeny bit chilly. (GASPS) Hey, where did you get that? Freddy. From Korea. Ooh. You're going with a Korean? No, dummy, he's a Marine. Straight from the halls of Montezuma. Wanna see a picture? (ALL EXCLAIM) Who are all of these guys? Oh, just some of my correspondents. Marty here is a one-woman USO. Here he is. Oh...that's Sammy. That's Bobby. There he is. Why's it torn in half? His old girlfriend was in the picture. Oh, and I got a jewel box and a bracelet, too. How can he send so many presents? I'm a terrific pen pal. I write a letter and he sends a present. Gosh. What do you write? (MUSIC INTRO) # I pull out my pink stationery # From the desk of Marty Maraschino # Spritz a little Jean Nate and write # Freddy my love, I miss you more than words can say # Ah ah ah ah # Freddy my love, please keep in touch while you're away # Oh, yeah # Hearing from you can make the day so much better # Getting a souvenir or maybe a letter # I really flipped over the great cashmere sweater # Freddy my love (CHEERING) # Freddy you know, your absence makes me feel so blue # Ah ah ah blue # That's OK though, your presents make me think of you # Sure they do # Mama will have a heart-attack when she catches # Those pedal pushers with the black leather patches # Oh, how I wish I had a jacket that matches # Freddy my love # Freddy my love, Freddy my love # Freddy my love # Don't keep your letters from me, I thrill to every line # Your spelling's kinda crummy, but honey so is mine # I treasure every gifty, the ring is really nifty # You say it cost you fifty, so you're thrifty, I don't mind # Whoa oh oh oh # Freddy you see, you'll hold me in your arms someday # Freddy my love # And I will be wearing by bridal bou-bouquet # Freddy, I'm yours # Thinking about it, my heart's pounding already # Knowing when you come home, we're bound to go steady # And throw your service pay around like confetti # Freddy my love # Freddy My Love, Freddy my love # Freddy my love # Freddy my love # Freddy my love, Freddy my love # Freddy my love # Freddy my love # Freddy my love, Freddy my love (CHEERING) # Freddy my lo-o-ove # (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) All that for a kimono? You don't understand love. Oh, gosh, this nail polish remover sure smells. It stings, too. It does? Oh, my gosh, I got mixed up. That's not Cutex, it's Nair. You would make a terrible pharmacist. (LAUGHTER) I'm sorry, sweetie. I got so much on my mind these days. Like what? OK, but swear on your Pink Lady pinkies you won't tell anyone. ALL: Pink Lady swear. I feel like Rydell's a dead end for me. All that education's just holding me back. I've had enough of Emily Dickinson. Is she that sophomore? I feel like I'm ready to live up to my full potential, you know? Do something to really make a difference in the world. So, I applied to beauty school. You're dropping out of Rydell? I don't look at it as dropping out. I look at it as a very strategic career move. Say hello to a future graduate of La-Cafury Beauty Academy. I think this calls for a toast. How about a little sneaky pete to get the party going? (ALL SHRIEK) It's an Italian Swiss Colony. Wow, it's imported. Who wants a Twinkie? I read that a Twinkie or two before bed fires up the metabolism so you burn calories while you sleep. Twinkies and wine? That's real class, Jan. It says right here it's a dessert wine. Don't forget about Sandy. Oh, no, I'm OK. Thanks. You don't drink? I had some sparkling cider at my cousin's wedding once. Oh, ring-a-ding-ding (!) I bet you don't smoke, either? No. How about you let me pierce your ears, huh? It'll be good practise. Practise? You afraid? No. Wanna use my virgin pin? Nice to know it's good for something. I don't think this is a very good idea. Ow! Why don't we go into the bathroom? My mother will kill me if I get blood on the carpet. Blood? Oh, it only bleeds for a second. Frenchy, I don't feel so good. Hey, don't worry, Sandy. If she screws up, she can fix your hair so your ears don't show. Would one of you get me some ice to numb her earlobes? Just run some cold water and stick her ear under the faucet. Hey, I heard Putzie say the T-Birds might swing by later. How do they even know we're here? Did you tell 'em we're having a sleepover, Rizz? Kenickie might have asked what I was up to. Since when have you got the hots for Kenickie? Sometimes you want a guy who's willing to put up or shut up. (THEY LAUGH) Sandy's sick. I did one ear and she saw the blood and...eugh! You're not getting your hands on my ears. You think I ought to call her folks? What did I tell you? Forget pink. She can't even handle off-white. (KNOCKS) You OK in there, Sandy? I brought your toothbrush. Oh, thanks, Frenchy. I'm sorry to be such a bother. No, that's OK. Can you believe her? Miss goody-two-shoes makes me wanna barf.

Vroom, vroom. (BOTH CHORTLE) Mr Weaver, we would be proud to show the entire nation what fine, bright, clean-cut...wholesome students we have here at Rydell. Ah, Blanche. This is Mr Weaver. He's a producer for Vince Fontaine's National Bandstand television programme. He's making a surprise visit to all the high schools being considered for a live broadcast. Live broadcast? How exciting. Ooh. But what if something goes wrong? Oh, that doesn't matter. The television audience is pretty forgiving. What we're looking for here is a true representation of American youth. Principal McGee, we need your help. What is it, fine, wholesome students? I want Rocket Club meetings in the all-purpose room on Thursdays. And I want it for Future Homemakers of America. Think of the children. Think of the children on rockets. Yes, well, these are the kind of outstanding citizens you would have gracing your airwaves. I think I've seen everything I need to see. You're late again, Marty. I've got a note from my mother. I had a visit from my friend. My friend came early this month and it really cramped my style. You know what I mean. Who are you? Stan Weaver, National Bandstand. Who are you? Marty Maraschino. Senior. Did you say National Bandstand? With Vince Fontaine? That's the one. They're considering Rydell for a live broadcast from our Spring Dance. Vince Fontaine may come here? Well, if Mr Weaver feels we truly represent an American high school. Well, if there's one thing I know how to do, it's represent. You tell Mr Fontaine...that Marty is waiting for him. Miss Maraschino! Please! Well, it's, uh...looking more and more like Rydell has got what it takes. (DELIGHTED SHRIEK) Wonderful! Well, let's just hope it doesn't rain. So you were at Lovers' Lane, then what happened? Did you make it with Rizzo? Yeah, but my heart wasn't in it. As long as something was, who cares? (LAUGHTER) I'm so mad about what Leo did to my car. We can fix it, though, right? I don't know. It looks pretty hopeless. Did somebody say hopeless? Hey, Mrs Murdock. How you doin'? Any car can be fixed. Did you boys learn nothing in my class? Don't answer that. How's the patient? We just got to bang out the dent, that's all there is to it, right? Yeah, and replace a part. What part? The engine. Where do I get a new engine? Guys, there's an old saying 'There's spare part in every parked car.' Where'd you hear that? Prison. I learned a lot. You have no idea. So, we should steal from other cars? I said no such thing and I will deny it to the Board of Education. I am just inspiring to follow that automotive dream. And keep your hands off the Chevy Impala, that one's mine. Good luck. OK. Well, whaddya guys say? You in? I don't know. I don't want to get in any trouble. It would be a lot of work. It'll still be a piece of junk. Danny? Yeah, I'm in. Because I know what this car can become. Scrap metal? Beep, beep! Hey, Sonny, what do you drive, huh? I drive. Yeah? How about you, Putzie? Me? What about Doody? I... I... That's what I thought. Now come on, guys. This car could be a major piece of machinery. (RASPBERRY BLOWN) This car could be systematic! Hydromatic! Ultra-matic! Why, it could be...Greased Lightning! Greased Lightning.

I got a hot date tonight with that new guy at the grill, so I can't be staying late mopping blood off the floor. You hear me? We hear you, right. Yeah. Come on! You got lucky this time. The Scorpions area asking for it, Danny. What's with you? Still stuck on that chick? What are you, nuts? Come on, come here. Kenickie, come here. The meeting is now in session. You know what I heard? Last year the fuzz had Thunder Road staked out and everybody got hauled to the clink. When we're done with her, nobody is going to catch Greased Lightnin'. Yeah? Yeah. Somebody snakin' you, Danny? Ah, bite the weenie, Rizz. Oh, with relish. I don't know about these chicks. Only good for one thing, right? What do you do with the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day? Is that all it takes, 15 minutes? Only when he does it twice. Yeah, put that thing away. I've been practising. Look, if I get good enough, maybe Vince Fontaine will put me on National Bandstand or something. Maybe(!) Check this out. OTHERS: No! # C, C-C, C-C-C # A, A-A, A minor - Wait, give me a minute. You want some new music? Yeah, sure. I'll need some money. Uh... Thanks. I'll be right back. Hi, Danny! I can't talk right now. Hey, listen, what are you doing later? I can't talk. Call me! No. Uh-uh, uh-huh. Hey, Sandy. Oh, hi. How are you? Fine, thanks. That's good. Been wanting to talk to you for a while now. What about? About that night at the pep rally. The way I acted was terrible, it really was. That wasn't me. You gotta believe me. Well, I mean, it was me but it wasn't...me. Sandy, I have this image around here - I know and that's why I'm so glad that Tom is such a simple person. Yeah, simple's right. It's too bad that his brains are in his biceps. You sound jealous. Jealous? Come on, Sandy. Don't make me laugh. Ha-ha-hah! Tom is a great athlete. What have you ever done? Oh, come on, Sandy. I could run circles around those jerks. I'll believe that when I see it. Oh, I figured it out. Sandy, play J14 for me. Ahem! (BASS PLAYS INTRO) Excuse me. # What's that playing on the radio? # Why do I start swaying to and fro? # I have never heard that song before # But if I don't hear it any more # It's still familiar to me # Sends a thrill right through me # Cos those chords remind me of the night # That I first fell in love to... # Those magic changes # My heart arranges # A melody that's never the same # A melody # That's calling your name # And begs you, please, come back to me # Please return to me # Don't go away again. # Oh, make them play again # The music I want to hear as once again # You whisper in my ear # Oh my darling, uh-huh...

Like track. You mean running? Not just running. Long-distance running, cross-country, running so long I don't have to deal with you at all. # I'll be waiting by the radio # You'll come back to me someday I know # Been so lonesome since our last goodbye # But I'm singing as I cry-y-y... All right, Zuko, I want you to run through these doors, three times around the track, up past Woodworking and then back here. Go! Oh! That's a new Rydell record. Welcome to the team. Hey, thanks. Congratulations, Danny. Are you all right? Danny, talk to me. It's the least you could do after the way you treated me. I already told you I was sorry about that. Got you talking. You still going out with that jock-strap? We're just friends. Is he taking you to the dance? Well, that all depends. On what? On you. On me? Although I don't want to hurt Tom. I think he'll pull through. Hi, Tom! (SPLUTTERS) So, will you go to the dance with me? I'd love to go to the dance with you. (GIGGLES) # While the bass is sounding # While the drums are pounding # The beating of my broken heart # Will rise to first place on the charts # So my heart arranges # All those magic changes # Oh, whoa # Whoa # Whoa-oh, oh yeah # Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh # Ooh, ooh, ooh # (CHEERING) I told you I had something. Just gotta believe in me. TEXT ALERT CHIMES (BOPPY MUSIC PLAYS) Is that what you're going to do at the dance on Saturday? Yeah. What do you think I'll win? Erm...Sympathy! You think I'll look good on TV? Sure, you're already two-dimensional. What's with the torpedoes? I read that Vince Fontaine likes a full-figured girl. Whaddya think? Nice, and just in time for flu season. Jan! Hi, Patty. Has anyone asked you to the dance yet? Not yet, but I'll show 'em. I'll show 'em all! I'll pop split. Yeah! That floor is sticky. I'm aware of that. Hey, let's go someplace else. Why? It's too crowded, we can't be alone. Danny... OK. Come on. Hi, Doris, hi, Kim. Your hair looks really cute like that. Oh, I'll see you in Biology. You nearly pulled my arm out of the socket. I didn't want to lose this table. It's the best they got. What are you doing? Just want some privacy for us, that's all. Hey, what are you having, kids? Coca-Cola, please. Danny? Not really hungry. Just a Double Polar Burger with everything, and a Cherry Coke with chocolate ice cream and some French fries. Too straws with that soda? She can use mine. Oh, watch out. You really are funny, you know. No, I'm not. You are! You are! How are you doin', Zuke, huh, nice? Yeah, it's cool. It's uh, you know, swinging. Well, well, Danny's back and Sandy's scratching it. Hey, Rizz, how are you? Peachy keen, jelly bean. Hey, you got a couple of quarters? We could split an Eskimo Pie and a coke. My Dutch treat days are over. Planning on staying home a lot? You ain't the only barracuda in these waters. Greeting, pals and gals, I got 23 cents. Who wants to chip in for a Dog-Sled Delite? I don't know where my money goes. A dime here, 15 cents there. Frenchy, another couple of months you'll pick up the tab for everybody. A working girl with income. They don't pay you much to start off with. Still more than we make, you know? Loan me, will ya? I don't get my allowance till Friday. You still get an allowance? When I'm a good boy. Hey, Viola, a Dog-Sled Delite with four spoons. And an Eskimo Pie, with a knife. I'm going to get another order of fries. What do you want? Oh, ice water. I'm reducing for National Bandstand. They say the camera adds ten pounds depending on your reception. Yeah? Well, just make sure they keep all the good parts. OK. Grab it and growl. I've got so many hickeys people will think I'm dating Dracula. Cheer up, a hickey from Kenickie is like a Hallmark card - 'When you care enough to send the very best.' Oh, you pig! I love it when you talk dirty. My parents want to invite you to a barbecue the day after the dance. You want to come? I don't like barbecue. You don't have to eat anything. I don't like parents. (SNIGGERING) You want some? You sure are a cheap date. That didn't come out the way I meant it. Oh, I understand. I always thought you were an understanding person, and I always thought there's more to you than just being weird. No matter what everyone says behind your back. And I don't think you're as goofy and immature as everyone says behind your back. Neat-o! Got a date to the dance-off? No. Do you wanna go? Yeah. Danny, I'm worried about the contest. We didn't have a lot dances back home. Don't worry. Just uh... follow my lead. Yeah, could be your big break, Sandy. National Bandstand loves the wholesome type. That camera will be on you the whole time. I don't have to be on camera, do I? Well, it ain't radio. (GUFFAWING) What's the matter? I'm uh... I'm just really camera shy. Besides, who wants to watch a bunch of amateurs dance in a contest on live TV? Well, you know TV, they'll do any cheap stunt to get people to watch. Maybe you ought to stay home with the folks, play Parcheesi. Come on, Sandy, let's get out of here. Oh, OK. Bye, girls. Bye, Frenchy. See you, Sandy. You know, they've got these things called tooth picks! What is with you tonight? Oh, I don't know. I guess I'm just growing up faster than you. There's one thing you're faster at than me, baby. There are times, Kenick, when speed ain't what it's all about. Sometimes you've got the personality of a wet mop. Oh, yeah? Yeah. To you from me, Pinky Lee! Oh! Sorry, French. Oh, the check. The check! Hey, Rizzo! Come back here and give me some money! You want some pie with that check, Kenick? I made an apple pie from a recipe in Good Housekeeping that's supposed to drive men wild with desire for apple pie. Wanna come? Yeah, sure. Hey, Putzie, 15 minutes. If I don't pass this algebra quiz, I'll be a senior for ever. What's so bad about that? I want a diploma before I get my MRS Degree. Well, you are in luck, luscious. You've got an armed escort home. Mm-hm? It's not the arms I'm worried about. She loves me. (LAUGHS) You coming, French? I think I'd like to hang out for a little bit longer. Maybe next time. Are you OK? Terrific. No use crying over a spilt milkshake. I'll be all right. Listen, I don't want to rush ya, but it's almost closing time and I've got - Whoa! What? Oh, well... I hate to tell you this but your hair looks like an Easter egg. Beauty school sure isn't what I thought it was going to be. Nothing ever is. Vi, I've dropped out. Oh, hon. How do you like waitressing? You're too young to know. Or maybe I could be one of those telephone operators. Nah, I wouldn't want to wear those little things over my ears. Don't you worry, hon.

So, uh...Marty, do your folks know that I come into your room every night? Over WZXX. What they don't know won't hurt them. I'm judging the dance contest. I don't think I'm entered. What?! A knockout like you? Oh-ho-ho, things have sure changed since I was in high school. Last year. (CHUCKLES) Stop! Eh? What? What's the matter? I just never realised you're so... Direct? Experienced? Erotically alive? Old. Ouch! Three minutes to broadcast, Vince. Catch you later. (CHEERING & APPLAUSE) Old?! Ridiculous. I need more base! Well, what did you find out? Too much. I mean the cameraman. Oh, Ted. OK, kids, are you ready? CROWD: Yeah! All right, good. We have to go over a couple of ground rules first, OK? (BOOING) Basic rules. Principal McGee. (BOOING) I'll wait. I'll wait. I won't ask again. Now, boys and girls, in just a few moments, the entire nation will be watching Rydell High. (CHEERING) God help us. I want you all to be on your best behaviour. So now... (LAUGHTER) For the rules, Coach Calhoun. (MIXED RECEPTION) Game rule one, couples only, no solos, no threesomes. (MILD JEERING) Game rule two, during the dance contest, if you're tapped on the shoulder you must leave the floor immediately. And rule number three, anyone doing tasteless or vulgar movements will be disqualified.... (JEERING DROWNS ANNOUNCEMENT) Hey, keep it clean, please. 40 seconds! Boys and girls, now, without further 'adieu', I give you the man of the hour, the Prince Of The Platters, Mr Vince Fontaine! (CHEERING) Thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, fans and friends.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's what you do with your dancing shoes. OK, cats, throw your mittens around your kittens and away we go! (CHEERING) # Before I was born, late one night # My papa said everything's all right # The doctor laughed my ma laid down # With her stomach bouncing all around # Cos the bebop stork was about to arrive # Mama gave birth to the hand-jive # I could barely walk when I milked a cow # When I was three I pushed a plough # While chopping wood I move my legs # And I started to dance while I gathered eggs # The townsfolk clapped I was only five # He'll out-dance 'em all # He's a born hand-jive Everybody! # Born to hand-jive, baby # Born to hand-jive, baby # Oh yeah... Hey, break it up! Mr Kenickie, have you no decency? (CHEERING) (AUDIENCE CLAPS ALONG) Whee! Brrr-ha-ha! (CHEERING) (SQUEALS) # How low can you go? # How low can you go? # How low can you go? # Ow! (CHEERING) (SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT) (SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT) # Higher, higher # Higher, higher # Now can you hand-jive, baby? # Oh, can you hand-jive, baby? # Born to hand-jive, baby # Born to hand-jive, baby # Oh yeah # Oh yeah # Oh yeah, yeah # Born to hand-jive, oh yeah! # Oh, yeah! Yeah, and let's meet our new champs. What are your names, kids? Cha-Cha DiGregorio and Danny Zuko! (CHEERING) All right, congratulations. Now, let's celebrate our new champs with a nice little slow dance. Hit it! # Just mooning # So sad and blue # So sad and blue # I spend my nights... # # Guess mine is not the first heart broken # My eyes are not the first to cry # I'm not the first to know # There's just no getting over you # You know I'm just a fool who's willing # To sit around and wait for you # But baby, can't you see? # There's nothing else for me to do # I'm hopelessly devoted to you # But now # There's nowhere to hide # Since you pushed my love aside # I'm out of my head # Hopelessly devoted to you # Hopelessly devoted # To you # Ooh # Hopelessly devoted to you # My head's saying, "Fool, forget him" # My heart's saying, "Don't let go" # Hold on to the end # And that's what I intend to do # I'm hopelessly devoted to you # But now there's nowhere to hide # Since you pushed my love aside # I'm out of my head # Hopelessly devoted # To you # Hopelessly devoted # To you # Ooh # Hopelessly devoted # I'm hopelessly devoted # To you # (APPLAUSE) (GROANS) Welcome back, students. (CLEARS THROAT) I trust you all have fond memories of our Spring Dance, Saturday night. Those of you who can still remember it at all. (CLEARS THROAT) Rest assured, the police have been notified and they will find those individuals who spiked the punch bowl which led to some extremely embarrassing behaviour. And while we're on the subject, a brassiere was found under the bleachers. A size 34, double-D, underwire construction, full support. Will the owner please come to the office to retrieve it? I will - What is it, Blanche? (MUTTERING) Uh...please disregard that last announcement. This has been a test. This was only a test. (IMITATES BEEPING) OK, everybody out. Welcome to the cinema. I wish we had money for tickets. I wish we had gas masks. It was cabbage night! (COUGHING) Here come the chicks. Hi! Hey. Hold my money, don't let me go near the refreshment stand. Everything they sell is bad for you. How about popcorn with extra butter? Is it the artificial kind? Uh-huh. OK. (LAUGHS) French, you ready for a movie? Always. I wish there was a way I could watch movies at home, any time I wanted. (LAUGHS) Let's just get to the moon first. Hey, babe. There's nobody here. Come on, Marty. Let's get some popcorn. Um... (SCOFFS) I guess we gotta watch the movie. At a drive-in? Who does that? Come on, Sandy. I told you I was sorry every day for a week. I know. That's why I'm here. You believe me, don't you? Yes. But I still think you and Cha-Cha went together. We did not go together. We just...went together. It's the same thing. No, it's not. Not like us. Besides, if you hadn't run off I never would have danced with Cha-Cha in the first place. I didn't want to be on camera. That's just silly. You're a good dancer. You shouldn't be so afraid of stuff. I'd lied to my parents. What? I told my parents I was going to Frenchy's to study cos they won't let me go to dances. That's why I didn't want to be on camera. I didn't want them to find out I'd lied to them just to be with you. Oh. I didn't know that. Now you do. Well, I think you're lucky to have parents that care so much about you. I know. Mine don't care about anything. I'm sorry. (DRAMATIC MUSIC FROM FILM) (CHUCKLING) Ow! Sandy, I'm sorry. I didn't... (SIGHS) Sandy, would you wear my ring? Oh, Danny! I don't know what to say! Say yes. Yes! Oh, Danny, this means so much to me because I know now that you respect me. 25 cents for a lousy box of popcorn and two sodas? Forget it. What's with you tonight? I feel like a defective typewriter. Huh? I skipped a period. You think you're PG? I don't know. Was it Kenickie? Nah. You don't know the guy. Hey, it's cool. You get to skip school. Marty, you ain't gonna tell nobody about this, right? I'll take it to the grave. Coming through, coming through. Come on, people, move! Lady with a baby! Rizzo's got a bun in the oven! (GASPS) (WHISPERING) Rizzo's pregnant... Psst! Rizzo's pregnant. Hey, Rizzo. I hear you're knocked up. You do, huh? Good news travels fast. Why didn't you tell me? What's it to you? I don't know. I thought I could do something. Oh, you did enough. I don't run away from my mistakes. Hey, don't worry about it, Kenickie. It was somebody else's mistake. Thanks a lot, kid. Oh, any time (!) (SHOUTING FROM FILM) (GIGGLES) (PRETENDS TO YAWN) (PRETENDS TO SNEEZE) I hope you're not getting a cold. Oh, no. Nothing like that. It's probably just some drive-in dust, that's all. Danny! Oh, Sandy... What are you doing?! Don't worry, there's nobody watching. Get off me! What's the matter with you? I thought I meant something to you? You think I'm gonna stay with you in this...sand wagon? Sandy, come on - Argh! You can take this piece of tin! Sandy! Sandy! You can't just walk out of a drive-in. # Stranded at the drive-in # Branded a fool # What will they say? # Monday at school # Sandy, can't you see? # I'm in misery # You made a start, now we're apart # There's nothing left for me # Love has flown # All alone, I sit and wonder why-y-y # Oh, why you left me # Oh, Sandy # Oh, Sandy, baby # Someday when high school is done # Somehow, someway # Our two worlds will be one # In Heaven forever and ever we will be # Please, say you'll stay # Oh, Sandy Sandy, my darling. You hurt me real bad. You know it's true But, baby, you've gotta believe me when I say... ..I'm helpless without you # Love has flown # All alone, I sit and wonder why-y-y # Oh, why you left me # Oh, Sandy # Sandy # Sandy # Why, why, why, why # Oh, Sandy... # (APPLAUSE) No, not that way. Here we go... Hey, hey, hey. Wow! You guys must have one amazing teacher! Yeah, we do! Murdock! (LAUGHS) This car is as hot as the parts on it. We didn't steal all of it - some of it was donated. Be sure to send 'thank you' notes. The judge will like that. This baby is gonna knock 'em on their ears at Thunder Road. That's right. I mean, you could still change your mind, but... Nothing doing. The flag goes down in three hours and Greased Lightning strikes. Mrs Murdock, you coming? I don't expect my boys to let me down, I'm not gonna let them down. Just be sure to fill her up. I intend to get loaded myself. Every time she does that... Hey, I want to talk to you. Those boys at Thunder Road don't play around. You know that, right? You...you want me to punk out? I'm not saying punking, I'm just... You know what I'm saying. Yeah. Danny, me and you been friends for a long time, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you remember that movie we saw back when we were kids? There was a duel and the guy's best friend, you know, he uh... he went with him like his uh, like his second? Yeah, yeah. So? I was thinking...um, you know... I was thinking maybe you could be my second at Thunder Road. What, you want me to drive with you? No. (SCOFFS) (BOTH LAUGH) What you looking at? Not one thing. Danny's gonna be my second at Thunder Road. We're gonna win this thing! Yeah! No, you won't. What's it to you, Eugene? Yeah. What do you care who wins? I don't. Not particularly. But matters of speed, propulsion, those interest me greatly. And from my calculations and looking at the Scorpions' superior vehicle, there is no way you boys can win Thunder Road. That is, without my help. (HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER) Laugh, make fun of the geek. You guys may be cool, but you don't know everything do you? Why don't you get lost, Felsnick? Go practice kissing your sister. Bye, Eugene. Good luck. You're gonna need it. What did you have in mind? Are you crazy? Let's hear him out. What have we got to lose? How about our reputation? Boy, what you guys go through just to be cool. How about winning instead? Have any of you already been exposed to radiation? Oh, that's the girl I was telling you about. She doesn't even know whose it is! (ALL LAUGH) Hey, Patty. Why don't you mind your own business for a change? Well, well, Sandy Young standing up for the class tramp? I thought you were a good girl. Maybe. But I think it's more important to be kind. I'll stick with being good. That's easy to do when you're unappealing. Did you hear what she said to me? And I taught her how to cheer. I don't need anybody to fight my battles for me. But I got to admit, that was a good one. She had it coming. Yeah, and you're the one who finally gave it to her. Look, Rizz, I know we haven't been the best of friends, but if there's anything I can do... I can take care of myself. And anybody else who comes along. You're going to Thunder Road? Not a chance. I've gotta go. I have to talk to Danny. I see the way he looks at you, you know. He never looked at me that way. No guy's ever looked at me that way. The right guy will. Right... # There are worse things I could do # Than go with a boy or two # Even though the neighbourhood thinks I'm trashy and no good # I suppose it could be true # That there are worse things I could do # I could flirt with all the guys # Smile at them and bat my eyes # Press against them when we dance # Make them think they stand a chance # Then refuse to see it through # That's a thing I'd never do # I could stay home every night # Wait around for Mr Right # Take cold showers every day # Then throw my life away # On a dream that won't come true # I could hurt someone like me # Out of spite or jealousy # I don't steal and I don't lie # But I feel and I can cry # In fact, I bet you never knew # But to cry in front of you # That's the worst thing # I could do # (APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) Where the hell are they? I bet they chickened out. You think? What's the matter with you? Don't you want to see us win this fair and square? Yeah, I guess. If it were in any better condition it would fly. According to my calculations, it's going to. Or...it might explode. What? Don't worry, it will be over so fast. Hey, hey, hey. You guys think you got a winner there, huh? That's right. It takes more than a coat of paint to make it at Thunder Road. Oh, yeah? You guys aren't thinking about changing your minds, are you? (SCOFFS) No way. Good. Cos we're racing for pinks. "Pinks"? Yeah, pinks, you punk. Pink slips. Ownership papers. Oh-oh-oh! Don't worry about it. We'll take care of it. Back where you belong, right, Chach? I always stick with the winner. Don't I, Danny? We doing this or what? Yeah. Hey, Kenick. Rizzo, what are you doing here? I'm a sucker, I guess. I just wanted to say...be careful. Hey. Kenick. What is it? I can't do this. I might have a kid who needs me some day. I gotta be there for Rizz and I ain't no chicken. Yeah. Hey... (LAUGHS) There's a penny, heads-up. Why don't you pick it up for luck? (CLUNK) Hey! Why'd you...? (SHRIEKING) God! It was an accident! You killed him! Here, put this under his head. What are we gonna do? He's out cold. Talk to me, buddy. Hey, you can still race, right? You ain't no chicken. What? I'm fine. Let me get behind the wheel. Help him up, help him up. Whoa, whoa, whoa! No, he can't drive. I'm OK, just give me a minute. You're hurt too bad. I hate the Scorpions as much as you do. Let me do this. If that's the way it's gotta be...thanks. Come on, buddy. Let's go... Hey, Putzie. Yeah? Take my jacket. Danny! Sandy? What are you doing here? Don't. It's too dangerous. You don't always have to do something just because they expect you to. Yeah. I'm doing this for a friend. And besides, what's the point of living if you don't take a few chances? OK, rules are there ain't no rules. First one to the overpass wins. Leo, baby. Wait... What's she giving him? A lock of hair...from her chest. Urgh! Haul ass, kid. All right, boys. Start your engines. (REVVING) (TYRES SCREECH) # GREASED LIGHTNING # (MUSIC CONTINUES) 1 1 (TYRES SCREECH) ("GREASE LIGHTNING" CONTINUES) 1 1 1 (WHOOPING AND CHEERING) We won! Yeah! Whoo! It wasn't me who won, though. Where's my jacket? Hey, Eugene. Yeah, Danny? Thanks for taking us into the Space Age. You mean...I'm a T-Bird? You wear the jacket...we'll see how it goes. Wow. Me, Eugene Felsnick... It's cool baby. It's swinging, am I right? Give it time... # Look at me # There has to be # Something more than what they see # Wholesome and pure # Oh so scared and unsure # A poor man's Sandra Dee Well, they did it. Why do the guys get all the glory and the girls get the blues? You're asking me? I think it's time we did something about it. Where'd you come from? I mean...what's the point of living if you don't take a few chances? That's my motto. You think you could help me? We might know a trick or two. Thanks, Rizz. Hey, Frenchy! Guess what? New victim! # Sandy, you must start anew # Don't you know what you must do? # Hold your head high, take a deep breath and sigh # "Goodbye to Sandra Dee" # (APPLAUSE) (GIGGLING) (CRYING) I'm sorry... (BLOWS NOSE NOISILY AND SOBS) Attention, seniors. Before the merriment of commencement commences, I hope your years with us here at Rydell High have prepared you for the challenges you face. Who knows? Among you there may be a future Eleanor Roosevelt or a Lucille Ball. And among you young men there may be a Joe DiMaggio, a President Eisenhower or even a Vice President Nixon. But always, you will have the glorious memories of Rydell. Rydell forever. Bon voyage. (CRYING) Blanche, stop blubbering. Now I'm...here I go. I'm over the falls. I don't understand. How can I flunk Phys. Ed.? Step right up, it's all for a great cause, the teachers retirement fund and you're the ones that have driven us to it. Three chances to put a pie in the puss. Coach Calhoun, how could you have flunked the T-Birds? Don't worry, you'll get your diplomas. All you boys have to do is come back to summer school. Summer school? Come on! Ow! You see? If you'd have come to class, you wouldn't have missed. Oh, wise guy, huh? Ah, you see? You couldn't pitch one inning. (LAUGHS) OK. Close enough, Eugene. Not bad. Thank you, Patty. Do you want to show me your rocket? Not here. We have lift off. Rizzo! Should you be doing that in your condition? What's it to you? I was thinking... I don't care if it wasn't my mistake. I want to help and I want to be your second. I think you're more like my third. No. I mean, I want to be there for you. Come on, I'll make an honest woman out of you and no-one will ever know. Forget it, it was a false alarm. What? I'm not pregnant. OK. Well, the offer still stands. If that's a line, I ain't biting. It ain't a line. Wow. What? Nobody's ever looked at me that way before. Is that a yes? That's so beautiful. I wish I could have something like that. Why don't you give me a chance, Marty? You know what? Maybe I will. Maybe I'm not ready for a real man. You won't be disappointed. I got you your favourite. Red dye number two? Yep. Yum. Hey, hey, hey! Zuko? You gotta be kidding me! What is this, Halloween? How did you get a letterman sweater? While you guys were out stealing hubcaps, I lettered in track. I don't believe it. Danny Zuko turned jock. What are you doing? Deserting us just to win over some chick? You know, you guys mean a lot to me, but Sandy does, too. And besides, I don't want to be the same thing all the time. It's boring. (WOLF WHISTLES) (GASPING AND CHEERING) Sandy?
