MARTY - Hey, Rizzo, over here!

Hey, hey hey! Hey, where’s all the guys?

JAN - Those slobs. You think they’d spend a dime on their lunch? Their baggin’ it.

Pretty cheap.

JAN - Yeah, her name’s Sandy. She seems pretty cool. Maybe we could let her into the Pink Ladies.

Just what we need. Another broad around.

MARTY - Yeah, I just got ‘em for school. Do they make me look smarter?

Nah. We can still see your face.

JAN - I’ll take it!

How long you been livin’ around here?

PATTY - Hi kids!

Hey, look who’s comin’. Patty Simcox, the Little Lulu of Rydell High.

MARTY - Yeah. Wonder what she’s doin’ back here with us slobs.

Maybe she’s havin’ her period and wants to be alone.

PATTY - Well, don’t say hello.

We won’t.

PATTY - Oh, I just love the first day of school, don’t you?

It’s the biggest thrill of my life.

PATTY - You’ll never guess what happened this morning.

Prob’ly not.

PATTY - Me! Isn’t that wild?

Wild.

PATTY - I just hope I don’t make too poor a showing.

Well, we sure wish ya all the luck in the world.

PATTY - Goodness gracious!

Nice language. What was that all about?

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

Yeah, if ya like swimmin’ in Clorox.

SANDY - This was sort of a special boy.

Are you kiddin’? There ain’t no such thing.

DOODY - She really sounds cool, Danny.

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

SANDY - Did you say Danny Zuko?

DANNY - I didn’t say that, Sonny!

Hey, was he the guy?

PATTY - Listen, Sandy, Forget Danny Zuko. I know some really sharp boys.

So do I. Right, you guys? C’mon let’s go.

FRENCHY - See ya ‘round, Patty!

Yeah, maybe we’ll drop in on the next Student Council meeting.

MARTY - Not you, greaseball! Danny!

Yeah. We got a surprise for ya.

JAN - Yeah, those guys are all a bunch of creeps.

Yeah, Zuko’s the biggest creep of all.

MARTY - Who cares, as long as they don’t get their hooks into “Kookie”.

Hey, Frenchie, throw me a ciggie-butt will ya?

SANDY - Well, no, but…

Go on, try it. It ain’t gonna kill ya. Give her a Hit Parade…. Now, when she holds up the match, suck on it…. Oh, I shoulda told ya, don’t inhale if you’re not used to it.

FRENCHY - Nah, the guys really go for it. That’s how I got my nickname, Frenchy.

Sure it is. Jeez, you guys, I almost forgot!.. A little sneaky pete to get the party goin!

FRENCHY - Hey, we need some glasses.

Just drink it outta the bottle, we ain’t got cooties.

MARTY - It’s kind of sweet. I think I like thunderbird better.

Okay, Princess Grace.

JAN - It’s says right here, it’s a dessert wine.

Hey, Sandy didn’t get any wine.

SANDY - Oh, that’s okay. I don’t mind.

Hey, I’ll bet you never had a drink before, either…

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

Oh, ring a ding ding… Hey no! Ya gotta chug it. Like this! (drink) Otherwise you swallow air bubbles and that’s what makes you throw up.

SANDY - Well…no. But isn’t it awfully dangerous?

You ain’t afraid are ya?

SANDY - Look, sorry, but I’m not feeling too well and I…

Look, Sandy, If you think you’re gonna be hangin around with the pink ladies, you gotta get with it! Or else, forget it.. and go back to your hot cocoa and girl scout cookies.

FRENCHY - Hardeeharhar

That chick’s gettin to be a real nerd.

MARTY - Yeah, she can’t help it if she ain’t been around.

Yeah, well how long are we supposed to play babysitter for her?… What was that?

FRENCHY - Nah. I only did one. As soon as she saw the blood she went bleugh.

God what a party poop

MARTY - Oh. You like it? It’s from Japan

Yeah, everything’s made in Japan these days.

JAN - You never told us you knew any marines

How long you known this guy?

KENICKIE - Ok, Rizzo, well if that’s how you feel, then why don’t you go back to the pajama party? Plenty of chicks would get down on their knees to ride around in this little number.

KENICKIE - Aahh, come on! You ain’t takin your record player already! The party’s just gettin started.

SANDY - No I’m not! I didn’t come here to see him.

SANDY - Uh, because I was invited.

We only invited ya cause we needed a record player.

MARTY - Jesus, you’re really a barrel of laughs tonight Rizzo, you havin your friend?

Huh?

MARTY - Your friend. Your period.

Don’t I wish! Im about five days late.

MARTY - You think maybe your p.g.?

I don’t know, big deal.

MARTY - How’d you let a thing like that happen anyway?

It wasn’t my fault. The guy was using a thing but it broke.

MARTY - Holy cow!

Yeah. He got it in a machine in a gas station. Y’know, one of those four-for-a-quarter jobs.

MARTY - Jeez, what a cheapskate! Hey, it’s not Kenickie is it?

Nah! You don’t know the guy.

MARTY - Aahh, they’re all the same! Ya remember that disk jockey I met at the dance. I caught him puttin aspirin in my Coke.

Hey, promise you won’t tell anybody, huh?

MARTY - Sure, I won’t say nothin.

Hey, what happened to the music? Why don’t you guys sing another song?

KENICKIE - Hey Rizzo, I hear you’re knocked up.

You do huh? Boy, good news really travels fast!

KENICKIE - Hey, listen, why didn’t you tell me?

Don’t worry about it Kenickie. You don’t even know who the guy is.

SONNY - Hey, Rizz, how’s tricks? Look, if you ever need somebody to talk to…

All of the sudden you think you can get a little? Get lost Sonny.

ROGER - Listen Rizz, I’ll help you out with some money if you need it.

Forget it, I don’t want any handouts.

JAN - Hey, you want to stay over tonight Rizz?

Hey, why don’t you guys just flake off and leave me alone?

JAN - Just leave that stuff Rizzo. I’ll get it.

Look, it’s no bother. I don’t mind.

SANDY - I’m sorry to hear you’re in trouble Rizzo.

Bull! What are you gonna do? Give me a whole sermon about it?

SANDY - No. But doesn’t it bother you that you’re pregnant?

Look, that’s my business. It’s nobody else’s problem.

SANDY - …It’s Kenickie, isn’t it? Well I guess i’ve said too much already. Good luck, Rizzo.

Just a minute Miss Goody Goody! Who do you think you are? Handing me all this sympathy crap! Since you know all the answers, how come I didn’t see Zuko here tonight? You just listen to me, Miss Sandra Dee…

(SANDY comes in, changed)

Remember, play it cool.

MARTY - Ohh, would you paint my name on it?(RIZZO crosses to KENICKIE)

Hey, Kenickie, can we stop at the drugstore? I think I’m getting my friend.
