- Frenchy: Men are rats, listen to me, they're fleas on rats, worse than that, they're amoebas on fleas on rats. I mean, they're too low for even the dogs to bite. The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.
- Danny: Uh, I'm not very hungry; just gimme a double Polar Burger wit' everything and a cherry soda wit' chocolate ice cream.
- Rizzo: [singing] I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I can cry, a fact I bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you, that's the worst thing I could do.
- Coach Calhoun: [Danny is trying out for wrestling and smoking a cigarette] All right, let's trying cutting it to two packs a day. Now, you have to change.
- Danny: Well, yeah. That's why I'm here, ya know? To change.
- Coach Calhoun: No, I mean your clothes.
- Danny: Oh.
- Danny: That's cool baby, you know how it is, rockin' and rollin' and what not.
- Sandy: Danny?
- Danny: That's my name, don't wear it out.
- Sandy: What's the matter with you?
- Danny: What's the matter with me, baby, what's the matter with you?
- Sandy: What happened to the Danny Zuko I met at the beach?
- Danny: Well I do not know. Maybe there's two of us. Why don't you take out a missing person's ad? Or try the yellow pages, I don't know.
- Sandy: You're a fake and a phony and I wish I never laid eyes on you!
- Vince: Thank you, fans and friends 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 about the camera and think about the beat. We'll give the folks at home a real big treat. Don't worry about where the camera is, just keep on dancin', that's your biz. Hey, if I tap your shoulder, move to the side. Let the others finish the ride! This is the event you've all been waiting for, the National Dance-Off. And away we go with Johnny Casino and the Gamblers!
- Kenickie: Hey Rizzo, I hear you're knocked up.
- Rizzo: You do huh? Boy, good new really travels fast.
- [shoots Marty a look of contempt]
- Kenickie: Hey listen, why didn'tcha tell me?
- Rizzo: What's it to ya?
- Kenickie: Anything I can do?
- Rizzo: You did enough!
- Kenickie: I don't run away from my mistakes
- Rizzo: Don't worry about it Kenickie, it was somebody else's mistake.
- Kenickie: Thanks a lot kid.
- [Kenickie walks away]
- Rizzo: [calls out to Kenickie] Any time...
- Danny: [singing] I got chills, they're multiplyin', and I'm losing control, cause the power you're supplying, It's electrifyin'!
- Rizzo: Look who's coming. Patty Simcox, the bad seed of Rydell Hi-
- [to Patty]
- Rizzo: Hi.
- Patty: Oh I just love the first day of school, don't you?
- Rizzo: [sarcastically] It's the biggest thrill of my life.
- Patty: Hey, they just announced the nominees for student council this morning and guess who's up for vice president?
- Rizzo: Who?
- Patty: Me, isn't that the most? To say the least?
- Rizzo: The very least.
- Sonny: Geez! Every teacher I got this year has flunked me at least once!
- Doody: Yeah, and if you don't watch it, you're gonna be spending all your time in McGee's office.
- Sonny: Yeah, well, this year, she's gonna wish she's never seen me.
- Doody: Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do?
- Sonny: I just ain't gonna take any of her crap, that's all. I don't take no crap from nobody.
- Principal McGee: Sonny?
- Sonny: Oh, hello, ma'am.
- Principal McGee: Aren't you supposed to be in homeroom right now?
- Sonny: I was just going for a walk.
- Principal McGee: You were just dawdling, weren't you?
- Sonny: Yes, ma'am.
- Principal McGee: That is no way to start a new semester Mr. LaTierre.
- Sonny: [in Italian] Go to Naples, all whores.
- Principal McGee: Perhaps a session of banging erasers after school would put you on the right track.
- Sonny: Yes, ma'am.
- Principal McGee: Are you just going to stand there all day?
- Sonny: Uh no, ma'am. I mean, yes, ma'am. I mean I'm just...
- Principal McGee: Well, which is it? Yes or no?
- Sonny: No, ma'am.
- Principal McGee: Good! Then *move*!
- Sonny: Yes, ma'am.
- Danny: I'm sure glad you didn't take any of her crap, Sonny. You would've really told her off, huh?
- Doody: [imitating McGee] Mr. LaTierre. Yes, ma'am. No, ma'am.
- Danny: I don't know about these chicks.
- Kenickie: Yeah, they're only good for one thing.
- Sonny: Then what are you suppose to do with them for the other 23 hours and 45 minutes of the day?
- Putzie: [With a serious but confused face] Is that all it takes, 15 minutes?
- [Sonny throws a napkin ball at his face, then Doody pinches his cheek. As Kenickie reaches into Putzie's ice cream dish and steals the cherry out of it]
- Rizzo: Hey Zuko! I've got a surprise for you.
- Danny: Oh, Yeah?
- Rizzo: [chuckles] Yeah
- Danny: [throws Sandy in front of him] Sandy!
- Sandy: Danny!
- Danny: Wha-what are you doing here, I thought you were moving back to Australia?
- Sandy: We were but we had a change in plans!
- [His friends stare at Danny with a strange face and he changes moods, pretending like he doesn't care]
- The Teen Angel: [singing] Well they couldn't teach you anything, you think you're such a looker, but no customer would go to you, unless she was a hooker.
- Danny: Hey guys, look!
- Kenickie: Ladies and gentlemen! Dingleberries On Parade!
- Sonny: Yeah
- [Tom Chisum the football player gets his foot stuck in his helmet]
- Doody: Hey, look! You really put your foot into it this time, Chisum!
- Putzie: Yeah, try hopscotch, you hot dog!
- Sonny: [laughter] What a gavone!
- Doody: Gumdrops, man.
- Rizzo: [singing] Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee, lousy with virginity, won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed, I can't, I'm Sandra Dee.
- Rizzo: [breaks out a bottle of wine] How about a little Sneaky Pete to get the party going?
- [the girls, except Sandy, cheer; Frenchie shushes them]
- Jan: Italian Swiss Colony? Wow, it's imported! Hey, I brought some Twinkies! Anybody want one?
- Marty: Twinkies and wine? Oh, that's real class, Jan.
- Jan: [grabbing the wine bottle from Marty] It says right here it is a dessert wine.
- Rizzo: Hey!
- [Rizzo smacks Jan in the back of the head with a magazine]
- Rizzo: Sandy didn't get any wine!
- Sandy: Oh, that's okay.
- Rizzo: I'll bet you never had a drink before either.
- Sandy: Oh, yes, I did. I had some champagne at my cousin's wedding once.
- Rizzo: Ooooh. Ringa ding-ding.
- [Jan offers the bottle of wine to Sandy; Sandy is hesitant]
- Jan: What's wrong? We don't got cooties!
- Principal McGee: Blanche, do you have the schedules?
- Blanche: Yes Ms. McGee, I just had my hands on them.
- Principal McGee: Oh good, they'll be nice and smudged.
- Blanche: Oh here they are. If they would have been a snake they would have bitten me.
- Principal McGee: Blanche, these are the schedules we had for last semester. Maybe next year you'll find the ones for this semester.
- [Rizzo and Kenickie are making out in Kenickie's car, crawling into the backseat together]
- Kenickie: Oooh, Riz... Riz...
- Rizzo: Would you call me by my first name?
- Kenickie: Ooohh, uhhh... ooohh... uhh...
- Rizzo: Betty.
- Kenickie: Betty, Betty...
- [says her name several times, in increasing passion]
- Rizzo: Hey... ya got something?
- Kenickie: Are you kidding?
- [Sits up and gets a condom out of his wallet]
- Kenickie: My 25-cent insurance policy.
- Rizzo: Big spender!
- [Kenickie opens the condom packet, is shocked as he finds it broken]
- Rizzo: What?
- Kenickie: It broke!
- Rizzo: How could it break?
- Kenickie: I bought it when I was in the seventh grade.
- [the two spend a long nervous moment considering the situation, but look to each other with growing lust]
- Rizzo: What the hell...
- [Rizzo grabs Kenickie, and they resume making out]
- Kenickie: [muffled] Oh Betty...
- Sonny: [after Marty tells Sonny Riz is pregnant, Sonny spreads the news to others] Rizzo got a bun in the oven.
- Principal McGee: Attention seniors. Before the merriment of commencement commences, I hope that your years with us here at Rydell have prepared you for the challenges you face. Who knows? Among you there may be a future Eleanor Roosevelt or a Rosemary Clooney, and among you young men, there may be a Joe DiMaggio, a President Eisenhower, or even a Vice-President Nixon. But you will always the glorious memories of Rydell High. Rydell forever. Bon voyage.
- Principal McGee: We have pictures of you so-called mooners. And just because the pictures aren't of your faces doesn't mean we can't identify you. At this very moment those pictures are on their way to Washington where the FBI has experts in this type of identification. If you turn yourselves in now, you may escape a Federal charge.
- Rizzo: [the girls just convinced Sandy to try a cigarette, she does but starts coughing a lot from it] Ooh... I should've told you! You shouldn't inhale if you're not used to it!
- Frenchy: Sandy, let me show you how to French inhale! It's really cool, watch!
- Marty: [Frenchy starts inhale the smoke from her cigarette through her nose] That is the ugliest looking thing I ever saw.
- Frenchy: Yeah, the guys really go for it! I mean that's how I got my nickname Frenchy!
- Rizzo: Sure it is!
- [Frenchy gets a little offended and play hits Rizzo on the leg]
- Danny: Why, this car is Auto-matic. Its System-matic. Its Hyyyyydro-matic. Why, its Greased Lightning!
- [Frenchy and Sandy are in the bathroom; Frenchy is about to pierce Sandy's ears]
- Frenchy: Sandy, Sandy, beauty is pain.
- [Sandy screams; Frenchy sticks her head out of the bathroom]
- Frenchy: Could you please get me some ice to numb her earlobes?
- Marty: Why don't you just let the cold water run, and stick her ear under the faucet?
- Frenchy: Oh!
- [goes back inside]
- Coach Calhoun: [after Danny has failed at wrestling, basketball, and baseball] Well, you know, there are a lot of other sports that don't require any physical contact.
- Danny: Oh, yeah? Like what?
- Coach Calhoun: Like, uh... track!
- Danny: Whaddaya mean, like running?
- Coach Calhoun: Not just running! Something that needs endurance! Something that needs stamina! Like, long-distance running! Cross-country running!
- Danny: That could be cool.
