Danny Zuko
edit- This car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic. Why, it could be Greased Lightning!
- (Alternate take from the soundtrack): This car is automatic... systematic... hy-y-ydromadic... why it's Greased Lightning!
- [singing] I got chills,
They're multiplyin,'
And I'm losing control.
'Cause the power you're supplyin' —
It's electrifyin'! - That's my name, don't wear it out.
Sandy Olsson
edit- He was so nice to me this summer.
- Tell me about it, stud.
Jan
edit- Did you guys get a look at Zuk this Morning? Looking pretty good this year huh Rizz?
- How much dough did he spend?
Marty
edit- Oh no! I'm going to be a senior forever. I have to study for that Dumb algebra test tomorrow.
Putzie

- The only thing that hangs around you, Sonny, are the flies!
Doody

Sonny
edit- Yea Right here Putzie!
- But you dont gotta Brag
Kenickie

Frenchy

- was it love at first sight?
Principal McGee

- Marty: Twinkies and wine? Oh, that's real class, Jan.
- Jan: It says right here it's a dessert wine. [offers bottle to Sandy who's hesitant]
- Rizzo: Come on. Sandy didn't get any wine.
- Sandy: Oh. that's okay. I don't mind.
- Rizzo: I'll bet you've never had a drink before either.
- Sandy: Oh, yes I did. I had some champagne at my cousin's wedding once.
- Rizzo: Ah, ring-a ding-ding.
