Original subtitles

Danny, I don't want the summer to be over,

I may never see you again.

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.

Hey! Hey!

Foo-foo-foo-foo!

(EXCLAIMING) Whoo! Doody!

Out of my way! Out of my way!

Hey, Kenickie!

Where were you all summer?

I was workin', which is more than any of you skids can say.

Workin'?

Yeah, I got a job luggin' boxes at Bargain City.

That's great practice for after you graduate.

Eat me. (LAUGHTER)

I been savin' up for a new set of wheels.

You got 'em yet?

I'm picking 'em up next week.

Put a little spit shine on it

and Leo and the Scorpions are gonna eat my dust.

(ALL CACKLING)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Danny! Hi.

Hey.

How you been...

Uh...

Cindy. Right. (CHUCKLES)

We had chemistry together last year.

I'm sure we did. (CHUCKLES)

Well, maybe this year you could give me a hand with my biology.

Yeah. Yeah?

Sure. (CHUCKLING)

KENICKIE: Hey, Zuko! SONNY: Zuko!

(ALL EXCLAIMING) Zuko, Zuko!

(LAUGHING)

You already filling out your dance card?

Nah, it's all the same chicks as last year.

What'd you do for vacation, huh?

We didn't see you around the neighborhood.

I was down at the beach, lifeguarding and whatnot.

Ooh, "whatnot".

Must be tough with all those chicks hanging around you. Nah.

The only thing that hangs around Sonny are the flies.

(LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY)

You ever gonna learn to play that thing?

Hey, I've been practicing!

I already know three chords. You wanna hear?

ALL: No!

Hey, how was the action at the beach?

Oh! (EXHALES) It was flippin'.

Yeah? (STUTTERS) Was it crazy?

I don't 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?

I thought that's all any of us think about.

Grow up.

What's with you?

Nothin'.

Hey, what you got there, Eugene?

Give that back!

That's my rocket club poster!

Yeah? Maybe we send you into space

instead of them monkeys.

Space is the next frontier!

For you, puberty's the next frontier.

Hey! (LAUGHTER)

Here.

Now beat it. (BELL RINGING)

Get out of here.

Geez, every teacher I got this year

has already flunked me at least once.

Well, you 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'm gonna 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.

Look, Principal McGee...

Aren't you supposed to be in Homeroom, Mr. LaTierre?

This is no way to start a new semester.

No, ma'am.

Well, are you just going to stand there all day?

Yes, ma'am.

I mean, no, ma'am. I mean, no, I'm not.

So, move! Okay.

(GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION)

(CHUCKLING)

I'm sure glad you didn't take any of her crap, Sonny.

Shut up! Just shut up! (ALL LAUGHING)

(SQUEALING) Girls!

Homeroom! Now!

You, too, Miss Rizzo.

Oh, we're just trying to start

our senior year off right...

Oh. ...Principal McGee.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, because this year, we're gonna rule the school.

Ew!

Jan, Twinkies are so adolescent!

(MUFFLED) We are adolescent.

We don't have to flaunt it.

Okay, girls, let's go get 'em.

(SONNY WOLF-WHISTLES)

(WHISTLES) Hello, ladies.

Hey, Jan.

That looks good.

(MUFFLED) See?

You have an okay summer, Marty?

Oh, you know. Some 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.

(OBJECTS CLATTERING) Oh, fudge!

SANDY: 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. (EXHALES)

That's a heck of a walk.

We just moved here.

Oh, here, let me help you.

I'm... I'm Sandy, by the way.

I'm Frenchy. Welcome to Rydell.

Thanks.

Um, do you know where room 207 is?

207? Hey, we got Homeroom together!

Mr. Griggs. Is he nice?

Yeah. He teaches health class.

But mostly, he just sits in the corner and smokes.

I have a feeling I'm not in Salt Lake anymore.

(CHIMING)

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 PLAYING)

(HUMMING IN BACKGROUND)

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've had a previous head injury.

I want to see plenty of support for Coach Calhoun

and the Rydell Rangers! (HUMMING IN BACKGROUND CONTINUES)

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.

ALL: ♪ Through all the years, Rydell

♪ And tears, Rydell

♪ We give three cheers, Rydell, for thee!

♪ And sing, Rydell, to thee ♪

(MUSIC STOPS) Oh, that was a nice, tight cut-off.

Thank you, Reginald.

Hey, 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!

JAN: Hey, French. MARTY: Hiya, Frenchy.

This here is Sandy Young. Hi.

Have a seat, honey.

This is Marty, and that's Jan and Rizzo.

Sandy just moved here all the way from Salt Lake City, Utah.

Oh, Salt Lake, huh?

That means you're one of those, uh...

Skiers.

Well, it's all downhill from here.

Hey, Marty, those new glasses?

Yeah, I got 'em just for school.

Don't you think they make me look smarter?

Well, sure, until you open your mouth.

How'd you like a fruit cocktail down your bra?

Ooh, I'll take it.

The corn syrup is full of vitamins.

PATTY: Hi, kids!

Well, 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! (EXCLAIMING)

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?

MARTY: Mmm-hmm. Oh!

Oh, you must think I'm the rudest and the crudest

for not introducing myself to your friend!

Hi!

I'm Patty Simcox.

Welcome to Rydell... (SCREAMS)

(LAUGHING)

It's a Macin-tush.

Anyway, I hope you'll be at cheerleader tryouts, hmm?

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.

Oh, well, I'm cheer captain for the past two years,

plus All-State gymnastics... Oh.

...but hey, you can't have a pyramid without the people on the bottom.

What's your schedule?

You guys, how do you like Sandy?

You think we could let her into the Pink Ladies?

Well, she looks too pure to be pink.

What do you think?

You guys goin' out for football this year?

With Tom Chisum as captain?

Are you kidding?

(FOOTBALLERS MUMBLING)

Hey, hey, hey.

Catch that!

You're really good at that. Missed it.

Hey, did you guys see that hot chick at registration?

Sure beats them foam-domes around here.

You mean her jugs are bigger than Annette's?

Oh-ho! Nobody's jugs are bigger than Annette's.

Oh, hey, I wanna hear what Danny did down at the beach.

All right. It was nothing.

Oh, sure, "nothing," Zuko. Come on!

You got in her drawers, right?

Come on, tell us about the girl.

So, what'd 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?

Oh, he was sort of special. (SCOFFS)

There ain't no such thing.

Oh, you haven't met this boy.

It was really romantic.

(ALL CLAMORING) Come on! Tell us!

What? What? You guys really want to hear all the horny details?

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

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.

(LAUGHS) He sounds so nice!

Yeah, real marriage material.

Like Rock Hudson.

True love.

True love and he didn't lay a hand on you?

He sounds like a creep.

He was a gentleman.

Then he wasn't from around here.

All the Rydell boys are so immature.

No class.

Hey, four-eyes! Stuff it, dirt bag!

(LAUGHS) So what was your guy's name, anyway?

Danny. Danny Zuko.

That's a nice name.

And did you ever get around to asking where this Danny Zuko goes to school?

He goes to a fancy boarding school.

He's an honors student.

Well, 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.

PATTY: Stop!

Vandal!

You're supposed to be at cheerleading tryouts!

That's not till 3:00.

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.

(SCOFFS) Clearly you know nothing about politics.

What if I deliver the unpopular vote?

(CHUCKLING) Oh, please.

Why do I need votes from losers?

Because we're the majority.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

I'll give you from there over.

Thank you.

This never happened.

(CHIMING)

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? Okay! CHEERLEADERS: Okay!

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!

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Candidates, please observe.

Ready? Okay! CHEERLEADERS: Okay!

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, Rydell High!

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

How come we never tried out for cheerleading?

Well, I prefer to do my screaming in private. (CROWD CLAPPING ALONG)

I read in McCall's that men really respect cheerleaders,

almost as much as secretaries.

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

See? Easy, right?

Okay, who's ready to try out?

Oh, come on, don't be shy!

Let's see. Hmm.

How about... (GASPS)

Sandy Young!

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Ah, 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 our routines by heart. SANDY: Mmm-hmm.

But she's gonna give it her best shot, right, Sandy?

I'll try.

Oh, you poor thing! (CHUCKLES)

Okay. Watch this.

Mr. Conductor, if you please.

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

High "V," low "V," clap, clap, clap.

Prep, swing, kick, slap!

You think you can handle that?

I hope so. Great!

Hit it. (MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

High "V," low "V," clap, clap, clap.

Prep, swing, kick, slap!

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Not bad. (CHUCKLES) Okay, okay.

Let's try something a teensy-weensy bit more complicated, 'kay?

Sure.

Mr. Conductor, if you please.

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

And finish!

And finish!

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Is that okay? Am I all done?

(CHUCKLING) Nope. Uh...

Well, 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 Northwest Spirit Cheer

as performed in last year's National Cheer Meet, Junior Division?

Oh, I think I might know that one.

Oh, it's probably a simpler version.

Mr. Conductor, if you please!

(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)

(ORCHESTRA PLAYING SWING MUSIC)

(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

Was that okay?

(STUDENTS WHISTLING AND CHEERING)

(MARCHING MUSIC PLAYING)

(WHISTLING)

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. 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) (BLOWING WHISTLE)

Yeah.

Who's the best?

STUDENTS: Rydell!

Give 'em hell, Rydell! Yeah! (STUDENTS CHEERING)

Oh, um...

Sorry, ladies.

We have a banner year coming up!

Now, 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.

You know what that is? STUDENTS: What?

The law of averages. (STUDENTS CHEERING)

BOTH: Give a hop, give a yell, lose your top for old Rydell!

(MIMICKING BAND MUSIC)

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... BOTH: No!

Hey, guys, here comes Kenickie!

(CROWD CHEERING) (CAR APPROACHING)

(BOYS SNICKERING)

(CAR BACKFIRES)

So, what do you think?

What a hunk of junk. (LAUGHING)

Wait till I give it a paint job and soup up the engine.

She'll run like a champ.

And I'm gonna race her.

SONNY: What? This jalopy? (LAUGHS)

You're cruising for a bruising.

Ow! You watch.

I'm gonna race her at Thunder Road. (BLOWS A RASPBERRY)

You couldn't race that thing in my grandma's driveway.

What're you Scorpions doin' here anyway?

DOODY: 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, okay.

You just tell me when.

Hey, in the meantime, I wouldn't work on this thing indoors.

'Cause clearly the fumes is already gettin' to your head.

(ALL SHOUTING) Come on, fellas.

(CHUCKLING) Yeah!

Nick, let's go in.

I want to check out this year's assortment of pom-poms.

They're all the same.

Not when you shake 'em.

Brr! (LAUGHING)

SONNY: Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

I want to see them! Skirts!

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!

(ALL 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.

(STUDENTS CHEERING)

Ring that victory...

Where the hell's the bell?

Um, we think that maybe someone stole it.

It's been so long. (WHISPERS) Go ahead.

Go Rangers!

(CHEERING)

Whoo!

What was he talking about?

I have no idea.

You're pretty. Whoo!

Thank you.

You are, too. Oh.

Sandy!

Oh, hey, Frenchy!

You looked simply divine out there!

Thank you.

Listen, I'm having a sleepover tonight.

Do you wanna come?

Sure! Oh, except...

What, your folks won't let ya?

They are pretty strict.

It's not like there's gonna be boys there or anything.

It's gonna be a kind of, uh,

initiation.

You mean, to be a Pink Lady?

Maybe, we'll see.

Oh, wow! Okay, I'll figure something out.

What time should I get there? 8:30.

Or is that past your bedtime?

No, on Fridays it isn't till 10:00.

FRENCHY: Come on.

You know, I still don't know about this.

Mmm-hmm. You're just sore about Danny. (GRUNTS)

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.

KENICKIE: Okay. So, you with me here or what?

SONNY: You got vision, my friend.

DOODY: You know, if we fix up that car, it could be make-out city.

SONNY: Right. A chick is gonna have to put out

before she even gets in! (BOYS LAUGHING)

Hey, Zuke.

Rizz.

What do you want?

Well, I got a surprise for you.

Oh, yeah? (LAUGHS) Oh, yeah.

(BOYS SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Sandy? Danny!

What are you doing here? I thought you had to go back to Utah.

(CHUCKLING) We had a change of plans!

What happened to your boarding school?

Oh, no, I just didn't want you to think...

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

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?

Oh!

What happened to the Danny Zuko I met at the beach?

I don't know, maybe there's two of us.

Why don't you take out a missing persons ad,

or try the Yellow Pages, I don't know. (BOYS LAUGHING)

You lied to me?

You're a fake and a phony and I wish

I'd never laid eyes on you! (BOYS EXCLAIMING)

Bet that's not all she laid on you.

(BOYS LAUGHING)

You happy, Rizz?

Yeah, come to think of it. Mmm.

Girls.

PUTZIE: Hey, let's chip in for a six-pack.

I swiped my brother's I.D.!

Danny, you comin' or what?

Yeah. Whoo!

Come on, Sandy. It's not as bad as all that.

Yes, it is.

Men are rats.

Worse. They're fleas on rats. (CHUCKLING)

They're amoebas on fleas on rats. (CHUCKLING)

They are too low for even dogs to bite.

The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

I'll see you tonight. Okay.

Hey, Zuko, what's the matter? Nothin'.

I'll catch up with you in a minute. (GRUNTS)

Oops, sorry, sweetie!

Here, I got Cutex.

(JAN SIGHS)

You've had a rough day.

That Zuko's got some nerve.

He's so terribly immature.

He was just so different at the beach.

Hmm. Yeah.

That's why I prefer a more worldly kind of guy.

Excuse me, I'm feeling a teeny bit chilly. (FRENCHY GASPS)

Gee, where'd you get that?

Freddy. From Korea.

Ooh! Yeah, you're goin' with a Korean?

No, dummy. He's a Marine.

Straight from the halls of Montezuma.

Wanna see a picture? Yeah!

(EXCLAIMING)

Oh! Who are all these guys?

Oh, just some of my correspondents.

Well, Marty here's a one-woman U.S.O.

Here he is. Oh!

That's Sammy, that's Bobby.

There he is.

RIZZO: 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 come he sends so many presents?

I'm a terrific pen pal.

I write a letter, and he sends a present.

Gosh. What do you write?

I pull out my pink stationery,

"From the Desk of Marty Maraschino,"

spritz a little Jean Nate, and write...

All that for a kimono?

You don't understand love. (RIZZO SNORTS)

Oh, gosh, this nail polish remover sure smells.

It stings, too.

It does? Oh, my gosh,

I got mixed up. That's not Cutex, that's Nair!

You would make a terrible pharmacist.

(RIZZO CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry, sweetie! I just... I got so much on my mind these days.

Like what?

Okay. 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.

Like all that education's just holding me back.

I've had enough of Emily Dickinson.

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!

(ALL GIGGLING) Well, you know what? This calls for a toast!

How 'bout a little sneaky Pete to get the party going? ALL: Whoo!

Oh, my gosh! It's the Italian Swiss Colony!

Wow, it's imported!

Who wants a Twinkie? Ugh!

Oh, I read that a Twinkie or two before bed fires up your metabolism

so you burn calories while you sleep!

Twinkies and wine? That's real class, Jan.

Mmm. It says right here it's a dessert wine!

Don't forget about Sandy!

Oh, no, I'm okay. Thanks.

What? You don't drink?

I had some sparkling cider at my cousin's wedding once.

Oh! Well... Ring-a-ding-ding.

I bet you don't smoke, either.

Nope.

How 'bout at least you let me pierce your ears, huh?

It'll be good practice. Practice?

What's the matter, you afraid? No.

Here, wanna use my virgin pin?

Oh, nice to know it's good for something.

Frenchy, I really don't think this is a very good idea. My mother... Ow!

Oh! Why don't we go into the bathroom?

My mother'll kill me if I get blood all over the carpet.

Blood? Oh, it only bleeds for a second.

(SIGHS)

Frenchy, I don't feel so good.

Hey, don't worry, Sandy.

If she screws up, she can always fix your hair so your ears don't show.

(GROANS SLOWLY)

Would one of you get me some ice to numb her earlobes?

Why don't you just run some cold water and stick her ear under the faucet?

Oh. JAN: 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 were havin' a sleepover, Rizz?

Well, Kenickie mighta asked what I was up to.

Oh, since when have you got the hots for Kenickie?

Sometimes you want a guy who's willing to put up or shut up, you know?

(ALL LAUGHING)

Sandy's sick.

I did one ear and she saw the blood and... (RETCHES)

You're not gettin' your hands on my ears.

(RIZZO SIGHS)

You think I oughta call her folks?

What'd I tell you guys?

Forget pink. She can't even handle off-white.

You okay in there, Sandy? I brought your toothbrush.

Oh, thanks, French. I'm sorry to be such a bother.

No, that's okay.

(JAN CHUCKLES) Can you believe her?

Well, Miss Goody Two-Shoes makes me wanna barf!

Hey! You do it. Yeah! Go, go, go!

Oh, Sandy! Sandy, wherefore are thou!

Sandy! Hey! Knock it off!

FRENCHY: They can't come in here, my folks'll kill me!

RIZZO: What's up, Kenick?

KENICKIE: One guess.

RIZZO: You got a lot to offer a girl?

Oh, you comin' down or what?

Get rid of your pals.

That includes you, Zuko.

Oh! Oh, good...

'Cause sloppy seconds ain't my style.

(CHUCKLES) Have fun, Kenick.

Where you goin', to flog your log?

I've done worse. (BOYS LAUGHING)

I'm still here.

You know, you goody-goodies are too much for me.

I'm gonna get my kicks while I'm still young enough to get 'em!

I bought it when I was in the seventh grade. (GROANS)

(LOUD THUD) (RIZZO GROANS)

What the hell do you think you're doin'?

You parked in a no-parking zone, creep.

The whole place is a no-parking zone, hatchet face.

(GRUNTS)

Well, uh, I don't know about you,

but my motor's still running.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah?

Vroom, vroom! (RIZZO LAUGHS)

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. Mmm-hmm.

This is Mr. Weaver.

He's a producer for Vince Fontaine's

National Bandstand television program.

He's making a surprise visit to all of the high schools

being considered for a live broadcast.

A live broadcast?

How exciting!

Oh! But what if something goes wrong?

(SCOFFS) That doesn't matter.

The television audience is pretty forgiving. Oh...

What we're looking for is a true representation of American youth.

(PANTING)

Principal McGee, we need your help.

(CHUCKLES) What is it, fine, wholesome students?

I want to have my 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!

(CHUCKLES) Oh, yes, well, these are the kinds of outstanding citizens

that you would have gracing your airwaves.

Oh, yeah. I think I've seen everything I need to see.

You're late again, Marty!

I 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.

And who are you? Marty Maraschino. Senior.

Did you say National Bandstand?

With Vince Fontaine?

That's the one.

(STUTTERS) They're considering Rydell for a live broadcast from our spring dance.

Vince Fontaine may come here?

Uh, well, if Mr. Weaver feels

we truly represent an American high school.

Oh! 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.

(LAUGHING) (CHUCKLES) Wonderful.

Well, let's just hope it doesn't rain.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

So you were at Lover's Lane, and then what happened?

Did you make it with Rizzo or not?

Yeah, but my heart wasn't in it.

As long as something was, who cares? (LAUGHING)

I'm so mad about what Leo did to my car.

Danny, we can fix it, though, right?

I don't know. It looks pretty hopeless.

Did somebody say "hopeless"?

ALL: Hey, Mrs. Murdock. How you doin'?

Come on, any car can be fixed.

Did you boys learn nothing in my class?

Don't answer that.

Yeah. All right! How's the patient?

Look, we just got to bang out the dent.

That's all there is to it, right?

Yeah, and replace a part.

(SCOFFS) What part?

The engine. Where am I gonna supposed to get a new engine?

Guys, there's an old saying...

"There's a spare part in every parked car."

Where'd you hear that? Prison.

I learned a lot.

You have no idea.

So, you're saying we should steal from other people's cars?

(SCOFFS) I said no such thing

and I would deny it to the Board of Education.

No, I'm just inspiring you to follow that automotive dream.

And keep your hands off the Chevy Impala. That one's mine.

Good luck.

Okay. (SNORTS)

Whaddaya say, guys? Huh? You in? I don't know.

I don't want to get into any trouble.

And it would be a lot of work. Yeah.

SONNY: It'll still be a piece of junk.

Danny? (CLANKING)

Yeah, I'm in. (KENICKIE CHUCKLES)

Because I know what this car can become.

Scrap metal? (ALL LAUGH)

I drive... Yeah?

How about you, Putzie? Ah, who me?

What about Doody?

Take a load off. PUTZIE: 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 Lightning.

Yeah? KENICKIE: Yeah.

How are you? Fine, thanks.

What about?

About that night at the pep rally.

The way I acted, that was terrible.

It really was.

That wasn't me. You gotta believe me.

Well... I mean, it was me, but it wasn't... me.

You see, Sandy, I just have this image around here and...

I know, and that's why I'm so glad

that Tom is such a simple person.

Yeah. Simple's right. (CHUCKLES)

It's too bad that his brains are in his biceps.

You sound jealous. Jealous?

Come on, Sandy. (CHUCKLES) Don't make me laugh.

(LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY)

Tom is a great athlete. What have you ever done?

Oh, come on, Sandy.

I could run circles around those jerks.

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.

Thanks. And I don't think you're as goofy and immature

as everyone says behind your back.

Neat-o.

Hey, you got a date for the dance-off? No.

You wanna go? Yeah!

You know, Danny, I'm, kind of worried about the contest.

We didn't have a lot of 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'll be on you the whole time.

Oh, I don't have to be on camera, do I?

Well, it ain't radio. (ALL LAUGHING)

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?

(KENICKIE SCOFFS)

Well, you know TV.

They'll do any cheap stunt to get people to watch.

Yeah, maybe you oughta stay home with the folks, play Parcheesi.

Come on, Sandy, let's get outta here.

SANDY: Oh. Okay.

Bye, girls. Bye, Frenchy. (SUCKING TEETH)

See you, Sandy.

You know, they got these things called toothpicks.

What's with you tonight? Oh, I don't know.

I guess I'm just growin' up faster than you.

(SCOFFS)

There's only one thing you're faster at than me, baby.

There are times, Kenick, when speed ain't what it's all about.

You know, sometimes you got the personality of a wet mop.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

To you from me, Pinky Lee!

ALL: Oh...

Sorry, French!

(ALL SIGHING)

Oh, check! The check. Hey, Rizzo!

Come back here and give me some money!

Hey you want some pie with that shake, Kenick?

That reminds me. 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! (MARTY SIGHS)

If I don't pass this algebra quiz, I'm gonna be a senior forever.

SONNY: Now, what's so bad about that?

I want a diploma before I get my MRS degree, okay?

Well, you are in luck, luscious,

you got an armed escort home.

Mmm-hmm. It's not the arms I'm worried about.

She loves me. (CHUCKLES)

You comin', French?

Nah. I think I'd like to hang out for a little bit longer.

Maybe next time. Hmm?

(SIGHS)

Are you okay?

Terrific.

No use crying over a spilt milkshake.

(CHUCKLES) I'll be all right.

Listen, I don't want to rush you,

but it's almost closing time and I've got...

Whoa.

What? Uh...

Well, I hate to tell you this,

but your hair looks like an Easter egg.

(EXHALES)

Beauty school sure wasn't what I thought it was gonna be.

Nothing ever is.

Vi...

I dropped out.

Oh, hon.

How do you like waitressing?

(CHUCKLES) 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.

You'll find something.

I know you will.

I'm just sayin' you're looking good.

Ooh, feelin' good, too.

Keep your hands off the merch.

Clear, everybody. This way Mr. Fontaine!

Oh, my God, that was Vince Fontaine.

I've seen better heads on a mug of beer.

Grow up. I think he's the living end.

If you like older guys. Anyway, here.

What is it?

Well, you may have noticed that I am stag this evening,

and since I haven't heard you mention a date,

I thought maybe I would do the noble thing and escort you.

A gardenia.

It's pretty.

But I can't take it.

How come?

I read in Teen Tempo that Vince Fontaine hates the smell.

Yeah? Well, it's gotta be an improvement, 'cause right now you stink.

Aw, stuff it! I think you already have.

Hey, Zuko, I want you to meet Cha-Cha DiGregorio.

(CHUCKLES) How ya doin', Zuko, baby.

Uh, all right.

Who is she?

They call me Cha-Cha.

Because I'm the best dancer at St. Bernadette's.

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

With the worst reputation. (BLOWING RASPBERRIES)

(SCOFFS)

Maybe I will sign up after all.

Super!

Who is that girl?

Come on. Let's go in.

Is she? No.

I want you all to be on your best behavior.

So, now...

For the rules, Coach Calhoun.

(WHOOPING)

Game rule one, couples only.

No solos. No threesomes.

(ALL GROANING)

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.

Oh! That leaves us out.

Keep it clean, please! 40 seconds!

Boys and girls now, without further ado,

I give you

the man of the hour,

the Prince of the Platters,

Mr. Vince Fontaine!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, fans and friends.

Thank you and odds and ends!

And now for you gals and guys,

a few words to the wise.

You Jims and Sals are my best pals,

and to look your best for the big contest,

just be yourselves and have a ball,

that's what it's all about, after all.

So forget the camera and think about the beat,

and we'll give the folks at home a real big treat.

Don't worry about where the camera is.

Just keep on dancing, that's your biz.

And if I tap you on the shoulder,

just move to the side and let the others finish the ride.

Oh, there's nobody here.

Come on, Marty, let's get popcorn.

Um... Pfft.

I guess we gotta watch the movie.

At a drive-in?

Who does that?

MAN 1: Fine. What do I do?

MAN 2: Tell Travis to get it. (CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Oh, come on, Sandy. I told you I was sorry every day for a week.

I know, that's why I'm here.

You do 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.

That's the same thing.

No, it's not. (EXHALES)

Not like us.

Besides, if you hadn't run off,

I never would've danced with Cha-Cha in the first place.

I didn't want to be on camera.

Well, that's just silly.

You're a good dancer.

You shouldn't be so afraid of stuff.

I lied to my parents!

What?

I told my parents I was going to Frenchy's to study

because they won't let me go to dances. Mmm-hmm.

That's why I didn't want to be on camera.

I didn't want them to find out that I lied to them

just to be with you.

Oh.

I didn't know that. Well, now you do.

Did you use the right number?

Well, I think you're lucky to have parents

that care so much about you.

Oh, I hope you're not getting a cold.

Oh, no, nothing like that.

It's probably just some drive-in dust. That's all.

(CHUCKLES)

(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)

Danny! Oh, Sandy!

What are you doing?

Don't worry, there's nobody's watching.

Get off me! Hey!

What's the matter with you?

I thought I meant something to you.

You think I'm going to stay with you in this...

Sin wagon?

Sandy, come on. What are you... Argh!

You can take this piece of tin!

Hey, Sandy!

Sandy, you can't just walk out of a drive-in!

Not that way. Here we go.

Look, look. Hey, hey, hey. Guys!

MURDOCK: Wow!

You guys must have one amazing teacher!

Yeah, we do! Murdock! (LAUGHING)

This car is as hot as the parts on it.

We didn't steal all of it. Some of it was donated.

Hey well, be sure to send thank-you notes.

The judge will like that.

Hey, this baby's gonna knock them on their ears at Thunder Road.

That's right, You could still change your mind.

You know, but...

Nothin' doin'.

The flag goes down in three hours

and Greased Lightning strikes.

Hey, Mrs. Murdock, you coming?

Hey, 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.

Oh...

Hey, I want to talk to you.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Those boys at Thunder Road don't play around.

You know that, right?

(CHUCKLES)

You...

You want me to punk out? I'm not saying punkin'.

I'm just... You know what I'm saying.

Yeah. (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Danny, me and you been friends for a long time, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

So you remember that movie that 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.

Yeah. So?

I was thinking...

Hmm? Um, you know.

I was thinking maybe you could be my second at Thunder Road.

What, do you want me to drive with you? (LAUGHING)

No...

(LAUGHING)

Come on.

Yeah.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Hey, what you looking at?

Not one thing, really. That.

Danny's gonna be my second at Thunder Road.

We're gonna win this thing!

Yeah, we are. Yeah!

EUGENE: No, you won't.

What's it to you, Eugene?

Yeah, why do you care who wins? I don't.

Not particularly.

But matters of speed, propulsion,

those interest me greatly.

And from my calculations,

and from looking at the Scorpions' superior vehicle,

there is no way you boys can win Thunder Road.

That is, without my help.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Sure, 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. (IMITATING KISSING)

Bye, Eugene. Good luck. You're gonna need it.

What do you have in mind?

Are you crazy? Let's hear him out.

What do 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? (INHALES)

Hmm.

Oh, that's the girl I was telling you about.

She doesn't even know whose it is.

(LAUGHING)

(DOOR CLOSING)

Hey, Patty, why don't you mind your own business for a change?

Oh, well, well, Sandy Young,

standing up for the class tramp.

(GASPS) I thought you were a good girl.

Maybe, but I think it's more important to be kind.

Hmm, I'll stick with being good.

That's easy to do when you're unappealing. (GIRLS LAUGHING)

(SCOFFS)

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 gotta 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,

(SCOFFS) but if there's anything I can do...

Look, I can take care of myself.

And anybody else who comes along.

Are you going to Thunder Road? Not a chance.

I've got to go. I have to talk to Danny.

I see the way he looks at you, you know?

Well, he never looked at me that way.

No guy's ever looked at me that way.

The right guy will.

Right. (SANDY CLEARS THROAT)

What's the matter with you, don't you want to see us win this fair and square?

Yeah, I guess. DOODY: come on.

If it were in any better condition, it would fly.

Well, according to my calculations, it's going to. (CAR APPROACHING)

Or...

it might explode.

PUTZIE AND DOODY: What? Don't worry.

It would be over so fast.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, hey.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

So you guys think you got a winner there, huh?

That's right.

Well, it takes more than a coat of paint to make it at Thunder Road.

(CHUCKLING) Oh, yeah?

You guys aren't thinking about changing your minds, are ya?

(BLOWS RASPBERRY) No way.

Good, 'cause we're racing for pinks.

Pinks?

Yeah, pinks, you punk!

Pink slips. Ownership papers.

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

(SCOFFS) Back where you belong, right, Chach?

I always stick with the winner.

Don't I, Danny?

We doin' this, or what?

Yeah.

Hey, Kenick!

Rizzo, what are you doin' here?

Well, 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 someday.

I gotta be there for Rizz.

And I ain't no chicken. Yeah. (SIGHS)

(CHUCKLES) Hey, there's a penny, heads up.

Why don't you pick it up for luck?

Hey, why'd you... Whoa, whoa!

(SCREAMING) Oh, my God!

It was an accident. You killed him!

Here! Put this under his head!

What are we gonna do? Zuko, man, he's out cold.

Kenickie, 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.

ALL: Whoa! Whoa! (GROANS)

No, he can't drive.

No, I'm okay, just gimme a minute.

You're hurt too bad.

Hey, I hate the Scorpions as much as you do.

Let me do this.

Well, if that's the way it's got to be... Yeah.

Thanks.

Come on, buddy. (GRUNTING)

Come on, let's go.

Hey, Putzie. Yes?

Take my jacket.

SANDY: 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.

But I'm doing this for a friend.

And besides...

What's the point of living if you don't take a few chances?

Okay! Rules are

there ain't no rules.

First one to the overpass wins.

Leo, baby! Wait.

I hope your years with us here at Rydell High

And you're the ones that have driven us to it.

Coach Calhoun, how could you have flunked the T-Birds?

Oh, don't worry, you'll get your diplomas.

All you boys have to do is come back to summer school.

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 outta you and no one will ever know.

Hey, forget it. It was a false alarm.

What?

I'm not pregnant!

Okay, but the offer still stands.

It ain't no line.

Wow.

What?

Nobody's ever looked at me that way before.

Is that a yes? (GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

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.

Ah, you won't be disappointed.

I got you your favorite.

Red dye number two? Yep!

Yum!

(CHUCKLING) Hey! Zuko?

DOODY: You gotta be kidding me!

What is this, Halloween?

While you guys were out stealing hubcaps, I lettered in track.

I don't believe it.

Danny Zuko turned jock? Nah.

What are you doing, deserting us just to win over some chick?

but Sandy does, too.

And besides, I don't want to be the same thing
