Quotations

This car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic. 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'!

[singing]Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee,Lousy with virginity.Won't go to bed 'til I'm legally wed.I can't, I'm Sandra Dee.

Men are rats. Listen to me, they're fleas on rats. Worse than that, they're amoebas on fleas on rats. I mean, they're too low for even the dogs to bite. The only man a girl can depend on is her daddy.
