Grease

# Love

# Is a many splendoured thing

I'm going back to Australia,

I won't see you again.

Don't talk that way, Sandy.

But it's true.

I've had the best summer of my life.

Now I have to go away. It isn't fair.

- Danny, don't spoil it.

- Sandy, it's only making it better.

Danny, is this the end?

Of course not.

It's only the beginning.

This is the main brain,

Vince Fontaine,

beginning your day the only way.

Music, music.

Get out of bed, first day of school.

Don't be a slob, don't get a job,

go back to class, you can pass.

To start the day off nice and fine,

here's a new old favourite of mine.

# I solve my problems

and I see the light

# We got a lovin' thing

# We got to 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 lying,

only real is real

# We stop the fight right now

# We got to be what we feel

# Grease is the word

# Is the word,

is the word that you've 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'

# 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

# Is the word,

is the word that you've heard

# It's got groove, it's got meaning

# Grease is the time,

is the place, is the motion

# Now grease is the way

we are feelin'

# This is a life of illusion

# Wrapped up in troubles

# Laced in confusion

# What are we doing 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

# Is the word,

is the word that you've 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'

# Grease is the word,

is the word that you've 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'

# Grease is the word,

is the word, is the word

- You don't eat this, you bury it.

- That's a home-made lunch.

Your old lady drag her carcass

out of bed for you?

- She does it first day of school.

- Big deal.

- Kenickie. Over here.

- Where you at?

We're right here.

- Where were you all summer?

- Are you my mother?

- Just askin'.

- Working. More than you can say.

- Working?

- Yes, lugging boxes at Bargain City.

- Nice job.

- Eat me.

I'm saving up to get me some wheels.

- Wanna hear what I did?

- No.

Hey, there's Danny.

Danny! Danny!

You seen any new broads there?

Nah, same old chicks,

everybody's made them.

So what'd you do all summer?

I was hanging around at the beach.

You know.

It's tough with all those chicks

hanging around you.

The only thing

that hangs around you are the flies.

How was the action

at the beach, man?

Whew. It was flipping.

Yeah? Crazy?

I did meet this one chick.

She was sorta cool.

You mean she puts out?

Come on, Sonny,

is that all you think about?

- Freakin' A.

- (bell)

Hey, guys, wait up.

- Do I look OK, Frenchy?

- Sure, you look good.

- I'm really nervous.

- You look terrific.

- So, this is Rydell?

- Yep. You'll love it.

I loved the last school I was at.

I wish I was there right now.

Still, I'm no stranger to heartbreak.

Why? You got psoriasis?

(car backfires)

Well, here we are again.

- But this time we're seniors.

- We're gonna rule the school.

(all laugh)

Jan, that is so adolescent.

- We are adolescent.

- We don't have to flaunt it.

OK, girls.

Let's go get 'em.

Blanche, do you have

the new schedules?

Yes, Miss McGee,

I just had my hands on them.

Oh, good, they'll be

nice and smudged.

Here we are. If it had been a snake,

it would've bitten me.

These are the schedules

we couldn't find last semester.

Next year,

you might find this semester's.

- I've got Kenickie again.

- He's been here longer than I have.

First day of school and already

my castor oil is missing.

How many days

till Christmas vacation?

- 86?

- And counting.

- Can I help you?

- Yes, it's my first day.

- I'm not sure where I should be.

- Welcome to Rydell.

You'll have to fill out

these forms, but...

Excuse me a minute.

I'll be right back.

- Do you have a pencil, please?

- Yes, dear. There you are.

(bell)

Jeez. Every teacher I got this year

has flunked me at least once.

You'll spend your time

in McGee's office.

- She'll wish she'd never seen me.

- Yeah? And what are you gonna do?

I just ain't gonna take her crap.

I don't take no crap from nobody.

- Sonny?

- Oh, hello, ma'am.

- Shouldn't you be in home room?

- I was going for a walk.

- You were dawdling.

- Yes, ma'am.

That is no way to start

a new semester, Mr LaTierri.

(mutters in Italian)

Perhaps a session of banging erasers

after school would put you on track.

Yes, ma'am.

- Do you plan to stand there all day?

- No, ma'am. I mean, yes.

- Well, which is it?

- No, ma'am.

- Good. Then move.

- Yes, ma'am.

I'm glad you didn't take

any of her crap, Sonny.

You would have told her off, huh?

Mr LaTierri.

Yes, ma'am, no, ma'am...

Hey, Eugene.

How you doin'?

- Shake, buddy.

- (buzzing)

What's wrong?

You're wearing glasses.

- I got an astigmatism.

- Too bad.

(students) # As I go travelling down

life's highway

# Whatever course my fortunes

may foretell...

(chimes)

Good morning, boys and girls.

Welcome to what we're sure will be

our greatest year at Rydell.

Saturday night will be

our first pep rally and bonfire.

I want to see all of you students

out there,

with plenty of support for Coach

Calhoun and the Rydell Rangers.

If you can't be an athlete,

be an athletic supporter.

And now for the really good news.

One of the most exciting things

to ever happen at Rydell High.

National Bandstand television show

has selected Rydell as

a representative American high school

and will do a live broadcast

from our very own gym.

(cheering)

It is our chance

to show the entire nation

what fine, bright, clean-cut,

wholesome students

we have here at Rydell.

(screams)

# Ba, ba, bamba

# Ba, ba, bamba

# La, la, la, la, la bamba

Did you guys get a look

at Zuko this mornin'?

Lookin' pretty good this year,

huh, Rizz?

- That's ancient history.

- History sometimes repeats itself.

- Hey, you guys.

- Hi, Frenchy.

Go sit down.

This here is Sandy Olsen.

And that's Jan and Marty,

and this is Rizzo.

She just moved here

from Sydney, Australia.

- How are things down under?

- Oh, fine, thanks.

Marty, are those new glasses?

Yeah, just for school.

Do they make me look smarter?

Nah, you can still see your face.

- How d'you like school, Sandy?

- It's different.
