 4.

2 RYDELL HIGH CAMPUS - CAFETERIA 2

School Bell RINGS. JAN, a funny, loud, compulsive

eater and awkward member of the Pink ladies. Loud
and pushy with the girls, but shy with boys, is
sitting at the CAFETERIA CHAIR. MARTY, the
‘beauty’ of the Pink Ladies but looks older than
the other girls, but betrays her real age when
she opens her mouth and tries to act
sophisticated is siting at the TABLE.

CAFETERIA

PINK LADIES are chatting at the table.

JAN
Ah, jeez! I wish it was
still summer. It’s only a
quarter after twelve and I
feel like I’ve been here a
whole year already.

MARTY
Yeah, what a drag.

JAN
Hey, who did you get for
Economics? Old man Ducker?

Both laughs as Marty sees BETTY RIZZO, the tough,

sarcastic, outspoken but vulnerable leader of the
Pink Ladies, passes by and calls her.

MARTY
Oh! Hey, Rizzo! Over here.

GIRLS
Hey! Hey! Hey!

They all laugh together as Rizzo goes to their

table.

RIZZO
Hey, where is all the guys?

JAN
Those slobs. You think
they’d spend a dime on
their lunch? They’re
bagging it pretty cheap.

All laugh.
 5.

3 RYDELL HIGH CAMPUS - BLEACHERS 3

DOODY, the youngest of the T Birds; small, boyish

and open, with a disarming smile and a hero-
worshipping attitude towards the other guys,
holds a BAG OF LIVER SAUSAGE his mom made for
him. ROGER, the anything-for-a-laugh stocky type
of boy; a clown who enjoys winding people up, is
full of mischief and is always dreaming up half-
baked schemes and ideas, also holds a BAG OF
SARDINES. Whilst the extras are just minding
their own business, chatting to each other near
the bleachers.

DOODY
Hey, Rog! I’ll trade you
sardine for that liver
sausage. My ma just opened
a fresh can this mornin’.

ROGER
You mean your old lady,
drag herself out of bed for
ya’?

DOODY
Sure! She does that every
year on the first day of
school-- Then she goes back
to bed.

KENICKIE, the second in command of T Birds;

tough-looking, surly, offbeat sense of humor, and
avoids any show of softness, enters from the back
of the bleachers

KENICKIE
(entering)
Hey, where you at!

ROGER
Hey, Kenicks! Where were
you all summer?

KENICKIE
What are you, the FBI?

ROGER
I was just asking.

KENICKIE
Yeah, well I was working.
 6.

ROGER & DOODY

Working?!

KENICKIE
Yeah! Working! I’m saving
up to get me some wheels.

DOODY
Hey, cool! What kind?

KENICKIE
I don’t know what kind yet,
you moron. But I got a name
all picked out.

ROGER
Yeah?

KENICKIE
Yeah! “Grease Lightning”.

ROGER
(whist trying to mock
the name of the car)
Oh, nifty!

Roger laughs.

KENICKIE
Go ahead, laugh it up. When
I show up in that baby, you
suckers will be laughing
out the other end.

ROGER
Will we ever.

SONNY LATIERRI, A funny Italian-American braggart

and wheeler-dealer who thinks he’s a real lady
killer member of the T Birds, enters from behind
the bleachers holding his class time-table. MISS
LYNCH, a no-nonsense, serious, loud, English
teacher, scolds the extras from the back of the
bleachers

SONNY
(entering)
Oh, son of a gun!

KENICKIE
Hey, what do you say,
Sonny!
 7.

SONNY
I’ve got old Lady Lynch for
English again. She hates me
so much.

ROGER
No, I think she likes ya’,
my friend. That’s why she
continues to have you back
in her class

SONNY
Oh, yeah? Well, this year,
she’s gonna wish she’d
never seen me.

KENICKIE
Yeah? And what are you
gonna do?

SONNY
(crumpling up the
time-table)
I just ain’t gonna take any
of her rubbish, that’s all.
I don’t take no trash from
nobody.

MISS LYNCH
(entering)
What’s all that rattling
out here? Sonny?

SONNY
Oh, hello, ma’am.

MISS LYNCH
Aren’t you suppose to be in
class right now?

SONNY
Well, I was just go--

MISS LYNCH
(cutting him off)
You were just dawdling,
weren’t you?

Kenickie, Doody, and Roger laughs behind Sonny.

 8.

MISS LYNCH (CONT’D)

That is no way to start a
new semester, Mr. LaTierri.
Well? Are you just gonna
stand there all day?

SONNY
(Stuttering)
N-N-N-N-No, ma’am!

Kenickie, Doody, and Roger mocks Sonny’s replies

to Miss Lynch.

BOYS
(mocking)
N-N-N-N-No, ma’am!

MISS LYNCH
Good. Then move.

SONNY
Yes, ma’am!

BOYS
(mocking)
Yes, ma’am!

MISS LYNCH looks at the boys with a serious face

while they still mocked Sonny and exits. The
boys, at the back of Sonny, also mockingly waved
good-bye at Miss Lynch.

ROGER
I’m glad you didn’t take
any of her crap, Sonny. You
would’ve really told her
off, huh?

SONNY
Oh, shut up!

4 RYDELL HIGH CAMPUS - CAFETERIA 4

FRENCHY, a dreamer; good-natured but not too

smart, heavily made up, fussy about her
appearance, particularly her hair, holds SANDY
DUMBROWSKI’s hand as they enter. SANDY, a new
girl in town; sweet, wholesome, naïve, cute, and
innocent. They approach table where the Pink
Ladies are sitting.

FRENCHY
Hi you guys!
 9.

PINK LADIES
Hey! Hey! Hey!

FRENCHY
This is my new neighbor,
Sandy Dumbrowski.

Frenchy introduces the Pink Ladies to Sandy.

FRENCHY (CONT’D)
This here’s Rizzo. That’s
Marty. And you remember
Jan.

JAN
Hi!

SANDY
Hi. Pleased to meet you.

FRENCHY
Oh, come on. Sit down,
Sandy.

Sandy sits down.

Frenchy notices Marty’s GLASSES. She gasps.

FRENCHY
(surprised)
Hey, Marty, are those new
glasses?

MARTY
Oh, yeah! I just got it for
school. They make me look
smarter.

RIZZO
Nah! We can still see your
face.

The ladies laugh.*Pink Ladies ad lib*

PATTY SIMCOX, a typical cheerleader; attractive,
athletic, sure-of-herself, but can be given to
bursts of disconcerting enthusiasm. A bit of a
pain and unpopular with the Pink Ladies, and can
twirl a baton, enters at the back of the Pink
Ladies, talking to the extras behind.

JAN
Hey, Sandy. How do you like
the school so far?
 10.

SANDY
Oh, it seems real nice. I
was suppose to go to
Immaculata, but my father
had a fight with the Mother
Superior over my patent
leather shoes.

RIZZO
(confused)
What do you mean?

SANDY
Well she said, the boys
could see up my dress in
the reflection.

The ladies laugh.

JAN
(joking)
Where can I get shoes like
that.

Laughter continues as Jan puts her foot on top of

the table. It caught the attention of Patty
Simcox – she went to their table.

PATTY
(loud and excited)
Hey, guys!

RIZZO
(sarcastic)
Oh, hey, look who’s comin’?
Patty Simcox, the little
Lulu of Rydell High.

PATTY
(filled with joy)
Ooh, ooh, ooh!

Utterly confused because non of the girls

responded back to her

PATTY (CONT’D)
(disappointed)
Well don’t say hello

RIZZO
(sarcastic)
We won’t
 11.

PATTY
(filled with joy)
Oh, I just love the first
day of school, don’t you?

RIZZO
(sarcastic)
It’s the biggest thrill of
my life

PATTY
You will never guess what
just happened this morning

RIZZO
(sarcastic)
Probably not

PATTY
Well, apparently they
announced this year’s
nominees for Student
Council, and guess who’s up
for Vice President?

PINK LADIES
(sarcastic and high
pitched)
Who?

PATTY
Me! Isn’t that just wild?

PINK LADIES
(sarcastic)
Wild!

5 RYDELL HIGH CAMPUS - BLEACHERS 5

Danny enters behind bleachers.

ROGER
Hey, ain’t that Danny over
there?

Roger calls for Danny’s attention. Danny caught

up and go to the bleachers.

ROGER (CONT’D)
Hey, Danny! What are you
doing?
 12.

DOODY
That’s good, Rog. Play it
real cool.

DANNY
Hey, you guys, what’s
shaking?

ROGER
Where you been all summer,
Danny?

DANNY
Well, I spent a lot of time
down at the beach.

KENICKIE
Hey, did you meet any new
broads?

DANNY
Nah!--- just one chick who
was sort of cool, you know.

DOODY
Aaaah, Zuko. Did you get in
her drawers?

DANNY
Look, man. That’s none of
you guy’s business.

ROGER
Ah! Come on, let’s hear a
little!

*T Birds ad lib*

6 RYDELL HIGH CAMPUS – CAFETERIA 6

SANDY
I spent most of the summer
at the beach.

JAN
What for? We got a brand
new pool right here in the
neighborhood. It’s real
nice.

RIZZO
Yeah, if you like swimming
in Chlorox.
 13.

SANDY
Well-- actually, I met a
boy there.

FRENCHY
You went all the way to the
beach for some guy?

SANDY
Well, this was sort of a
special boy.

RIZZO
Are you kidding? There is
no such thing.

SANDY
No, he was really nice. It
was all very romantic.

JAN
Gee, Sandy. He sounds
wonderful.

RIZZO
A guy doesn’t touch you and
it’s true love. Maybe he
was a pansy.

Pink Ladies laugh.

 18.

JAN
What if we said that about
Danny Zuko.

SANDY
Did you say, Danny Zuko?
Doesn’t he go to Lake
Forest Academy.

RIZZO
That’s a laugh!

JAN
Listen, Sandy. Forget Danny
Zuko.

C’mon, let’s go.

Cool. Yeah, well, I guess,
I’ll see you around. Come

DOODY
Where you know her from,
Danny?

DANNY
Ah, she’s just an old
friend of the family’s.

T Bird exits.

I don’t get it. He was so
nice to me this summer.

Don’t worry about it,
Sandy.

Hey, listen, how would you

A PYJAMA PARTY is going on at Marty’s. The girls are

wearing their PYJAMAS.
W.A.X.X. jingle for the Vince Fontaine show is on
the RADIO.

Hey, hey, hey, this is the

at Big Fifteen! Spinning
the stacks of wax, here at
the house of waxx. W.A.
kiss kiss.

OOOGA horn sound plays twice.

VINCE FONTAINE
(CONT’D)
Cruising time, [time].

RICOCHETING BULLET sound plays.

VINCE FONTAINE
(CONT’D)
Ah, yay-yay. Sharp-shooter
pick of the week. A brand
new one shootin’ up the
charts like a rocket. This
one’s going out to Ronnie
and Sheila. The kid’s down
at Mom’s school store, and
especially to little Joe
and the Ladons – so, listen
in, while I give it a spin!

‘Baby, baby, how I want ya…’ plays while radio

fades.

RIZZO
Hey, Frenchy, throw me a
cigarette, will you?

FRENCHY
You want one, Sandy?

SANDY
Oh, no thank. I don’t
smoke.

RIZZO
Ah, go on try it. It ain’t
gonna kill ya’.
 25.

Rizzo HANDS the CIGARETTE to Sandy.

Sandy INHALES the cigarette and starts coughing.

RIZZO
Oh, I should’ve told you,
don’t inhale if you’re not
used to it.

MARTY
That’s okay, Sandy. You’ll
get better at it.

FRENCHY
Then I’ll show you how to
French inhale. That’s
really cool. Watch!

Does a FRENCH INHALE.

JAN
That’s the ugliest thing I
ever saw!
FRENCHY
Nah, they guys really go
for it. That’s how I got my
nickname, Frenchy!
RIZZO
Sure it is.
(pause)

RIZZO
I almost forgot!

Take out a bottle of wine.

RIZZO (CONT’D)
A little sneaky drink to
get the party going.

FRENCHY
It’s kind of sweet. I think
I like Thunderbird better.

RIZZO
Yeah, suit yourself.

Jan takes the bottle from Rizzo’s hand and drinks it

from the bottle.
Rizzo takes bottle from Jan and mockingly shakes it
in front of Sandy.
 26.

RIZZO (CONT’D)
Hey, Sandy didn’t get any
wine.

SANDY
Oh, that’s okay. I don’t
mind.

RIZZO
Yeah, I’ll bet you never
had a drink before, either-
-

SANDY
Sure I did. I had some
champagne at my cousin’s
wedding once.

Sandy laughs at herself.

A sarcastic laugh was followed by
Rizzo.

RIZZO
Oh, ring-a-ding-ding.

JAN
Hey, Sandy, you ever wear
earrings? I think they
would keep your face from
looking so skinny.
FRENCHY
Would you like me to pierce
your ears for you, Sandy?
I’m going to be a
beautician, you know.

JAN
Yeah, she’s real good. She
did mine for me.

Sandy’s ear was pierced by Frenchy with a NEEDLE,

but it hurt Sandy in the process.

SANDY
(wince)
Ow!
FRENCHY
Hey, hold still, would you?

MARTY
Hey, French-- Why don’t you
take Sandy into the
 27.

bathroom? My old lady will

kill me if we got blood all
over the rug.

FRENCHY
Ohh, it only bleeds for a
second. Come on!

SANDY
Huh?

Sandy was dragged by Frenchy to go to the bathroom

when Rizzo suddenly stopped them.

RIZZO
(to Sandy)
Look, Sandy. If you think
you’re going to be hanging
around with the Pink
Ladies, you got to get with
it. Otherwise, forget it—
and go back to your not hot
cocoa and Girl Scout
cookies!

SANDY
Okay--
(to Frenchy)
come on, Frenchy.

JAN
Anyway, Sandy, if she
screws up, she can always
fix your hair, so your ears
won’t show.

FRENCHY
Har-dee-har-har!

Frenchy and Sandy enters bathroom

RIZZO
That chick’s getting to be
a real pain in the butt.

JAN
Lay off, Rizzo.

MARTY
Yeah, she can’t help it if
she hasn’t been around.
 28.

RIZZO
Yeah, well how long are we
supposed to play babysitter
for her? What a geek.

Rizzo finds a WIG on the DESK and puts it on.

RIZZO
That chick’s a real little
Sandra Dee.

Some people are so touchy.

5 INT. LOCAL GARAGE 5

PUTZIE
Hey, you guys, these
hubcaps haven’t got a
scratch on them. They must
be worth two bucks each
easy.
DOODY
No kidding? Hey, how much
do you think we can get for
these cool dice?

PUTZIE
Come on, let’s go push
these things off on
somebody!

DANNY
At eleven o’clock at night?
Sure, maybe we could sell
them at a police station!
 30.

DOODY
A police station? What a
laugh! Everybody knows they
don’t use these kind of
hubcaps on cop cars.

RIZZO
(Entering)
Hey, you guys!

DOODY
Hey, it’s Rizzo.

PUTZIE
What you up to, Riz? Got a
new job or something?

DOODY
Yeah. She’s at work right
now.

RIZZO
Yeah, right. Hey, where did
you guys get the spinners?

DANNY
Oh, some old hunk of junk
down the street.
PUTZIE
Hey, and there it is! It’s
coming this way right now.
RUN!

CAR arrives to the stage.

DANNY
Hey, wait a minute… It’s
Kenickie.
KENICKIE
All right, put those things
back on the car.
PUTZIE
Jeez, what a grouch! We
were only holding them for
you so nobody would swipe
them.

RIZZO
Hey, what took you so long?
It’s that your new custom
convertible?
 31.

KENICKIE
Yeah. This is it! Isn’t it
cool?

RIZZO
Yeah, about as cool as a
second-hand ice cream
truck.

KENICKIE
Okay, Rizzo, I that’s how
you feel, why don’t you go
back to your little pajama
party? Plenty of chicks
would get down on their
knees to ride around in
this little number.

RIZZO
Yeah, sure they would! Hey,
what’s with them?

KENICKIE
Alright, look, give me five
minutes… I’ll give them the
brush. What do you say I
pick you up over at the
Burger Palace?
RIZZO
In five minutes?

KENICKIE
Yeah, I’ll be right over…
as soon as I get rid of the
deadwood.
DOODY
Hey, Rizzo. Where you
going?

DANNY
See you around, Riz.

RIZZO
Hey, Danny. I just left
your girlfriend over at
Marty’s house, throwing up
all over the place
DANNY
Girlfriend… What are you
talking about?

RIZZO
Sandy Dumbrowski!… You
know… Sandra Dee. Stay
cool, you guys.

DANNY
Weird chick. Kenickie,
where did you get this
hunk-a-junk, anyway?
KENICKIE
What are you talking about?
This is “Greased
Lightning!”

PUTZIE
What? You mean you really
expect to score in this
garbage heap?

KENICKIE
Come on, you guys. Wait
until I give it a fresh
coat of paint, soup up the
engine a little, she’ll
work like a champ! This car
could be one cool piece of
machinery. Why this car
