Also having Zuko not in the classic black and pink suit is a crime but i’ll settle for all white

Never did i ever think this would be retold by SONNY

(its same same but also very different so far - cannot wait for some iconic lines)

"By the fall, things started changing, too quickly. It was too much to face and keep up with at the same time. We had to look for jobs, clean up our act,.That New Year’s Eve we had a big party with the T-Birds and the Ladies as we saw the last of the Nifty Fifties—and, to be perfectly honest, I don’t think any of us felt all that terrible about seeing that decade and that part of our lives finally coming to a close"

"it was Sandy. This beautiful chick, who we had known only
as a cute little church mouse, suddenly appeared as the greaser’s dream. We stood there flabbergasted, completely at a loss for words. Sandy just stared back, cracking her gum, cooled out, calm, and collected."

"It had been a little more than a week since the race at Thunder Road, and
still Marsha, Sandy, and Rizzo hadn’t broken the ice. Me, Danny and
Kenick spent a lot of lonely nights together trying to talk each other into
going after them. But it struck me that as long as we had each other then we could wait it out."

"'There’s nothing weird about you. What? You should feel bad because it’s weird to be nice?'"

“'What’s it, huh?' Danny moaned. 'I mean, what the hell is it? Why ain’t we
with our chicks?'
'Why ain’t they with us?' I wondered.
'Why ain’t we together?' Kenick said sadly."

“'Funny, how everybody got off on that today. They all went home tastin’ it, feelin’ good about it, but now that we did our job and it’s over, here we are left drunk and down to it.'
Kenick was known to get sappy and sentimental when he was drunk. He
was an influence on all of us."

"Kenickie smiled and pinched her cheek. Marty was good people. Kenick
flipped the penny, but dropped it on its way down. As he bent over to pick it up, Doody came winging out of the car, smashing Kenickie in the head with the door. Kenick hit the ground like a stone and was out cold instantly."

"Me and Danny had kind of resolved ourselves to the fact that Sandy and
Marsha weren’t showing up at the race, and that was that. We hadn’t quite
admitted that they might not show up ever again, anywhere in our lives, but
that was starting to look like a possibility. When Danny put that to me, and
asked me what I thought, I told him, 'Hell, we’ll just have to chase them.'”

"Just then, Rizzo’s pink Stude came out of the tunnel. Kenickie lit up. He
watched her pull up. Jan, Marty, and Frenchy got out of the car, then Rizzo
drove away. Kenickie’s face dropped. He never said anything, but he didn’t
have to.
Jan, Frenchy and Marty watched Rizzo leave, then looked at each other in
surprise."

"The Scorpions had a tough-looking crew just hanging out across the track
staring us down. The chicks had close-cropped hair, and were swigging
whiskey and mugging smokes, and looking meaner than the guys. They
made the Pink Ladies really look like ladies."

“'Then you’re gonna do it!' Danny told him.
'Gonna do it! Gonna do it!' Kenick yelled.
He turned and hit us each in the shoulder, a love tap I guess you’d call it."

“'You guys are something—I mean, you are like the best. Hell,
every time I look around for someone, there’s one or both of you guys, right beside me. Like that night at the drive-in with Rizzo. That’s what good
friends are all about, and you guys are good friends…so, you know then
that I gotta do this.'”

“'Where’s your spirit of adventure?' Kenick asked.
'About two steps behind my spirit of survival,' Danny said."

"She was painted a blinding white from nose to tail, with bolts of yellow
lightning running along her sides spelling out GREASED LIGHTNIN’. To
actually see her in motion was something else. Kenickie looked like a proud
father. Mrs. Murdock, the grandmother. And to us, she was one of our own. We could do nothing less than applaud her beauty."

"I pulled up and Danny opened the door. Kenick got in, shut the door, and
kept staring straight ahead. I don’t think he even realized whose car he’d
gotten into. We drove home without saying anything."

"That dropped on him like a bomb. He was flooding, and was about to say
something when he looked around and realized that we were standing
around listening to everything as it was coming down. He pulled himself
together, barely, and shrugged his shoulders.
'Thanks a lot, kid,' he said, then walked out."

'C’mon, Riz, you know me well enough to know that no matter what my
faults are, I don’t run away from my own mistakes. So, let’s talk about it,
huh?'
'Don’t worry about it, Kenickie. It wasn’t your mistake, anyway. It was
somebody else’s.'”

“'Hey, Rizzo. I hear you’re knocked up,' he said...
Kenickie couldn’t keep his cool anymore. Everybody knew he really cared
about Rizzo—everybody except Rizzo.
'Hey, Riz, listen, why didn’t you tell me?' 'What’s it to ya?' Rizzo had a
hard time softening her edges"

“'See.' she said, turning the ring, 'when a girl holds her standards high, a
boy respects her.'
It really did sound like Sandy had been reading Connie Francis, no joke."

"When I picked up Danny he was smiling the kind of smile I had seen on the faces of the people in a film we saw in health class on crazies. It was a calm and peaceful smile, as if he had lost his mind."

"The way me and Danny had it figured, we saw Marsha and Sandy just about any time we wanted over at the Palace, and it didn’t cost us any bread to take them out, except for maybe a shake or burger we’d spring for in the Palace...And we saw them when we wanted. Now, all of a sudden, they’re getting ideas."

“'They know better than to mess around with us, huh?' Danny said. 'I
mean, what we got the most of is determination—and that’s enough to keep
things cool down here, ehh?'
'And you know why, don’tcha Danny?' Kenickie asked. "‘Cause Nobody
cuts the Killer,' he said"

“'That was really using your head, Kenick,' Doody said. 'Best way to avoid
a fight is to talk your way out of it.'
'But it wasn’t just talk, and I think those guys knew it. It was like Jerry Lee
told ‘em when everybody was givin’ him spit—'Nobody cuts the Killer!'”

"'The Kenick can be a killer, so I sent a little message over to the Scorpions early tonight, saying if Leo shows up he better be ready to die or he shouldn’t bother to come. I have a feeling that Leo and the Scorpions won’t be coming.'
Kenick closed his blade and smiled. He lost the crazy look in his eyes, and
turned into dumb little, cute little Sicky-Nicky-Kenickie again."
