Grease - the deleted scenes: major correction!

I have to make a huge correction in regards to the 'part 2' post... I missed something entirely while skimming the script for material!

The 'jukebox' conversation between Danny and Sandy, which is different in the shooting script, is more different than I originally realized - in fact, it doesn't take place in front of the jukebox at the Frosty Palace this time, but rather in a hallway at Rydell.  On top of that, there's a totally different ending to the scene before it (at the Frosty Palace) that I missed.  Overall, this whole chunk subtly makes Sandy seem a bit less 'virginal' then she should've been by this point in the movie.

This happens right after Putzie's "Is that all it takes?  Fifteen minutes?":

=======================================

Danny cannot take his eyes off Sandy and Tom.

Vi arrives with their order -- a single giant sundae with two spoons.  This is too much for Danny who rises, looks around the room and spots Patty Simcox entering.

Danny takes her arm and swirls her into an empty booth.  She is surprised and flattered.  He gives her a false smile and looks to see if Sandy is watching.  She isn't.

He is seething.

Sandy looks up surreptitiously from her sundae, then smiles a bit too hard as she sees Tom looking at her.  She feeds him a bite of melting ice cream just as Danny puts his arm around Patty.  Sandy spills the ice cream on Tom's shirt.

Patty turns out to be a lot hotter than anyone has given her credit for and she leans against him.

Sandy busies herself dipping a napkin in water and wiping Tom's shirt.

Danny watches Sandy in anger as she daintily scoops up the cherry on top of the sundae and lovingly feeds it to Tom who takes a big bite of it and chews for a long, agonizing time.

This is the last straw for Danny who rises, looks at Sandy as though she were beneath contempt, and swaggers toward the door where Kenickie stands.

KENICKIE
He's just a dumb jock.

DANNY
It ain't the dumb that counts; it's the jock.

CUT TO:

92A. EXT. HALLWAY - LATE DAY

The hallway is deserted.  Late afternoon sun shines in dusty shafts through the windows as Sandy stands in the hall tacking up a poster about dental hygiene week.  She wears Tom's oversized football jacket.

Behind her is a door with a sign on it reading DETENTION.

The door opens and Danny steps out.  Sandy turns and the two of them look at each other silently, unsure of how to act.

Danny starts away, then stops and turns to see that Sandy is still looking at him.

DANNY
How's it going?

SANDY
(coolly)
Oh, it's wonder.  I just love Rydell and I've got so many new friends.
