* In the stage version, Rizzo sings "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" to Sandy, not alone as she does in the film versions. It may be that Rizzo's outline of her [[EthicalSlut ethical]] [[EveryoneHasStandards standards]] makes Sandy realize that she herself can hold onto her core values without needing to be a "good girl." Rizzo is sexually active, but she doesn't steal, doesn't lie, doesn't lead men on, doesn't hurt people out of spite or jealousy... and Sandy won't need to do those things either. Likewise, Sandy can demand more respect from Danny and still refuse to sleep with him until she's ready (in their original stage duet, "All Choked Up," she tells him to "take it slow" and that she doesn't want "strings attached"), but she can do it while loosening up and joining Danny's world.

*Speaking of rape, Marty mentions very flippantly that Vince Fontaine tried to roofie her at the dance. How many other girls has he done this to successfully, and plans to again if his show goes to more schools?

** There's honestly no reason why the name of Danny's school would have come up at all, or (as in the FOX special) any reason to assume Danny would tell her the truth if it did. It might have been different if Sandy and her family regularly made holiday visits to the area so she'd actually know the school he was talking about but since they likely don't make regular visits there and Sandy assumed it was just a summer holiday instead of a permanent relocation...why should Danny bother to tell her (or she bother to remember) the name of a school that would mean literally nothing to her at the time..?

* If you look at the lyrics of {{Summer Nights}}, it has the lyrics "Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight? Tell me more tell me more, did she put up a fight?" The boys were asking Danny whether he and Sandy had sex, and whether Sandy fought back. That means... you guessed it..... [[spoiler:rape]]

** Also it’s just worded to rhyme with the rest of the lyric and it simply questions whether or not Sandy rejected Danny and it pokes fun at his possible failed pursuits. Remember Danny's supposed to be a teenager and the rest of his friends are inexperienced, horny teenage boys in the 1950s.

** People often forget that PlayingHardToGet was urged as the ideal way for a young woman to flirt with a young man throughout most of the 20th century. Dating books of the 1950s and 1960s often scolded young men for cowardice if they weren't a bit pushy and advised young women to avoid young men who were so "weak" as to accept the very first "no" rather than try two more times; they also scorned young women who failed to say "no" the first two times before finally saying "yes" to an invitation to a date.

* During "Summer Nights", both Danny and Sandy recall and tell with their respective groups how they met and spent the summer together. While it's very obvious that Danny is exaggerating or even blatantly lying about what happened (let's remember, Danny has a reputation to maintain, while Sandy had just met the girls and has no reason to lie to them), Sandy's version of the events might not be true either. She's a sweet, naïve town girl who just met who she might see as the love of her live; her idealism probably has a hand in how she perceived Danny's behavior over the time they spent together. In other words, she's telling the story of how she experienced it, but not how it really was. Therefore, we probably don't know what really happened. It might be somewhere in between the two versions, but leaning a little bit more towards Sandy's version.
