P. 22 Rachel loves to fondle her MG gearshift and Benny, having just listened to Duke who 'almost but not quite made it' with Rachel, knew what she was doing. "He did not want to see anymore."
Hand Jive
"choreographer Patricia Birch mentions that the dance also went by the much more risque name "hand job", but the title was changed as Grease was aimed at a family audience."
Filmed by a young Ken Russell in Soho, London in 1957 and an R & B hit "Willie and the Hand Jive" in 1958 and more:

TRP makes real our love of our cars. "We'll always be together" Rachel sez to her MG.
P.S. p. 18 Notice that TRP gets right the fact that Rachel's MG is British-made with the steering wheel on the English side. Sitting next to her
he sees 'the harmonic motion of her left breast".....the closest one to him, the right one hidden by the left and distance.
