Quote #4

DANNY: The way I acted, I was terrible. I mean, it really was. I mean, it wasn't me, you got to know that. I mean, it was me, of course, but it wasn't me. You see, Sandy, I got this image, right?

Danny might think he's apologizing here, but he's missing a few key elements, mainly the fact that he doesn't accept any responsibility for being a jerk. He blames it on his "image." He's putting this "image" above Sandy's feelings, so it's no wonder she's upset about it.

Quote #5

VINCE FONTAINE: And now for you gals and guys, a few words to the wise. You Jims and Sals are my best pals and to look your best for the big contest, just be yourselves and have a ball. That's what it's all about after all.

We have no idea if Vince Fontaine realizes the irony of his statement. At the dance competition, no one is concerned with authenticity. Not only is Danny still hiding certain truths from Sandy, but everyone is trying to look their best for the camera. They want to be noticed, not to be real.

Quote #6

RIZZO: I feel like a defective typewriter. […] I skipped a period.

Rizzo tries to play off her pregnancy with her typical aloofness, but inside she doesn't like the way she's treated because of it. Patty Simcox spreads rumors about her, for example. But Rizzo's solution is to double-down on her fearless persona, acting like she doesn't care what other people think about her, when in fact she really does.
