You changed the results?
I just did what as best for the school.
I'd rather feel everything with you

I hope you'll let me

You lost the election.
All students can join

- Check the bylaws.
- We're here to make sure
that the dance is fun for everyone.
No clubs, no dress code,
no expensive tickets.

- He'll side with us.
No, he won't.
He's the one that got Johnny Vavoom.
He's on our side.
If he's not here, that
means Susan's in charge.
I agree with the Pink Ladies.
- What?
- Excuse me?
Their dance sounds fun.
And it is what everybody
wants. Even Buddy.
Susan?
There's a problem, though.
You have to get the dance approved
by Nicholson, the boosters, and the PTA.
And they'll never approve it
if it's coming from a girl gang.

We can't trust Susan. She's Susan.
But what if she's changing?
I mean, we talked during Driver's Ed
and she seemed to be
rethinking a lot of things.
Do you know the story about the scorpion
- and the frog?
- Ah, yes. From the Bible.
Mm, it's not from the Bible.
- Is it?
- I don't know.
We're Buddhists. And I don't read.
A scorpion meets a frog
at the edge of the river
and asks for a ride across.
The frog says, "No
way. You'll sting me."
The scorpion promises not
to. So the frog agrees.
But then, halfway across the river,
the scorpion stings the
frog and they both drown.
Dark. You should put that in the Bible.
The moral is is that you
can't change your nature.
It's in the scorpion's
nature to sting others
just like it's in Susan's.
- I really like that story.
- Whoa!
And I'm sad that you
didn't tell me okay.
♪
[SIGHS]
I know it's hard to trust Susan,
but she's got a point about the PTA.
That's fair. I don't do
great with parents, teachers,
- or associations.
- [SIGHS]
It's a deal with the devil,
but, counterpoint, the
devil gets a lot done.
He's in the Bible, right?
[SIGHS] Guess it makes sense.
Can y'all move your asses?
I cannot get another tardy.
Hey, come on, Richie,
we're gonna be late.
[GRUNTS]
Hey, what gives here, Facciano?
I'd like to keep my
arms in their sockets.
Buddy and Richie both
asked me to the dance.
And they both swore they changed.
And I don't know who to go with.
- It's eatin' me up.
- Ah, complaining
about your multiple love interests.
- So relatable.
- Yeah.
We're the ones who
should be complaining.
None of us has a date, let alone two.
Since when do you care about dates?
It's just the principle.
You should let them drag race for you.
Then at least it'd be entertaining
- for the rest of us.
- [CHUCKLES]
What do you think I should do?
[SIGHS] Well, Buddy's a rat.
And Richie's my brother which
is awkward on a few levels, so
Is there a third option?

Good evening.
I am here today to
discuss the fall dance
and the two biggest threats to Rydell
juvenile delinquency and rock and roll.
What the hell is she doing?
Just give her a chance.
Why not kill two birds with one stone?
Our dance, held in this very gym,
will be free for students to attend.
That means Rydell High's JDs
who might otherwise
be prowling the streets
causing trouble will
be in our very own gym
under the Rydell Code of Conduct
and massive adult supervision.
You have to admit,
it's kind of a brilliant strategy.
And I have invited Channel 8 news.
They will come hoping for a juicy story
about rock and roll mayhem,
but what they will find
is a bunch of well-behaved
kids having good, clean fun
under excellent leadership.
- I like it.
- Me too.
Oh, just a moment.
The PTA has some
concerns about this dance.

all read the articles.

drinking and drugs and

Well, the boosters still need to vote.
Dick? I know you'll be on our side.
Look, I was.
But this dance is important to my boy

him president after all.
