Beneath its veneer of good music, this is the story of Grease in a nutshell:
"I like you, Sandy, and you like me. Perhaps this could be the beginning of something beautiful!"
"Oh, but you're a wholesome, clean, all-Australian girl and I'm a greasy nogoodnik who hangs out with a bunch of juvenile delinquents! (Emphasis on juvenile.)"
"Time to put on my asshole face and treat you like shit. After all, I can't let the guys know I like girls like you."
"I like Danny, and I know that under the PRICKly exterior he's a pretty nice guy, but nothing is working out between us. What should I do?"
"Me and my girlfriends are going to mock you and beat you down until you get with the program, bitch!"
"I understand now! In order to be together, Danny and I don't need to respect one another's differences and love each other for who we are. I just need to ..."
"... change into a skank who wears leather and sucks carcinogenic toxins into her lungs."
"Watch us drive away into a future of unwanted pregnancy, mutual loathing, adultery, alcoholism, and possibly spousal abuse."
