Act 3

Michael moves toward his goal on both fronts, by taking Stephanie on a romantic motorcycle ride as the "Cool Rider," and by tutoring her in English as himself. During their tutoring session, Stephanie tries to explain to Michael the mystique of being in love with her motorcycle hunk even though she doesn't know his name: "Don't you think that's a little weird? I mean not weird, weird, but exciting weird?" She also begins to admire Michael for his intelligence: "You know all this deep junk and everything. You must think I am some kinda dummy, right?" Michael: "Actually, I think you're kinda terrific."

Until the talent show, when he can again meet Stephanie as the "Cool Rider," Michael passes the time by moping around and singing badly (see "Charades").

Talent Show

When Johnny and his T-Birds, enraged by jealousy, chase the "Cool Rider" off the edge of Deadman's Curve, Stephanie fears the worst. During the talent show, she goes into a grief-induced trance. But she somehow manages to sing an ode to her lost love, and imagines meeting him again in biker heaven, where they will wear matching silver lame biker jackets.

"Rock-a-Hula-Luau"/"We'll Be Together"

At long last, the happy ending arrives when the "Cool Rider" miraculously returns from the dead to fend off the Scorpions at the end of school luau. Stephanie is not fazed by the revelation of her motorcycle man's true identity, saying: "I got two for the price of one." The rest of the couples reaffirm their love/lust for each other and engage in a highly choreographed sequence in which they are entwined in strands of colored lights.

We hope you enjoyed this introduction to the world of Grease 2, but by all means rent the film to experience the fun first-hand.
