1. Grease is a 1978 American musical romantic comedy film. Grease was successful both critically and commercially, becoming the highest-grossing musical film ever at the time. Its soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, and earned an Oscar nomination for "Hopelessly Devoted to You" at the 51st Academy Awards.

When summer comes to an end, Sandy—who is going back to Australia—frets that they may never meet again, but Danny tells her this is "only the beginning." Danny's senior year at Rydell High School starts, and he resumes his role as the leader of the T-Birds greaser gang, consisting of his best friend Kenickie, plus Doody, Sonny, and Putzie.

While Sandy is out of the room, Rizzo starts to make fun of her ("Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee").

Its soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, and earned an Oscar nomination for "Hopelessly Devoted to You" at the 51st Academy Awards. In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

1. Grease is a 1978 American musical romantic comedy film. Grease was successful both critically and commercially, becoming the highest-grossing musical film ever at the time. Its soundtrack album ended 1978 as the second-best-selling album of the year in the United States, and earned an Oscar nomination for "Hopelessly Devoted to You" at the 51st Academy Awards. In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

2. In the summer of 1958, local boy Danny Zuko and vacationing Sandy Olsson meet at the beach and fall in love. When summer comes to an end, Sandy—who is going back to Australia—frets that they may never meet again, but Danny tells her this is "only the beginning." Danny's senior year at Rydell High School starts, and he resumes his role as the leader of the T-Birds greaser gang, consisting of his best friend Kenickie, plus Doody, Sonny, and Putzie. The Pink Ladies, a clique of greaser girls, also arrive, consisting of leader Rizzo, Frenchy, Marty, and Jan.

Unaware of each other's presence at Rydell, Danny and Sandy recount the events of their brief romance to their respective groups without mentioning names. Typical of a lot of teenage boys when Danny tells the story of his summer to the T-Birds he and Sandy "got down in the sand. If you know what I mean". While Sandy tells the Pink Ladies "He got friendly, holding my hand".

While Sandy is out of the room, Rizzo starts to make fun of her ("Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee").
