 Frenchy: Oh! Do you have psoriasis?”

- 'Grease'.

20. “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.”

-Frenchy.

It is the songs in the movie that make it one of the best movies of all time. Nothing captures the feeling of a scene as effectively as a well written song.
