Gidget (1959) Edit

A a a real serious student

A big, big favor, though?

A friend of mine, uh, has a shack down the beach.

A gentleman, Francie, always picks up the young lady...

A gidget.

A girl does have to become a woman,

A girl needs love.

A guy like me, even...

A lady wrestler wouldn't be safe with that octopus,

A little after 5:00.

A little parental interest...

A manhunt?

A manhunt...

A place that you escape from?

A regular tomboy But dressed for a prom

A regular tomboy But dressed for a prom

A surfboard! I mean, I'm a perfectly good swimmer,

A surfboard? A surfboard?

A surfboard.

A very good sport.

A week from Saturday night.

A wish, uh...

About a person knowing when it happens.

About a person knowing when it happens.

About fresh air for a headache.

About her problem,

About your dates and things, huh?

After 5:00? Oh, brother, I got to go.

After all, all I ask is to make sure

After all, this is her first manhunt.

After all, we did have a lot of laughs this summer.

After sunset, they get a little restless.

Ah, beautiful.

Ah, the language of love.

All except one.

All I've got left out of my allowance is 4.50.

All right, do you want to spill it now?

All right, lady, stand back. We'll take care of it.

All right, let's have a little respect

All right, Matthews,

All right, where's the Gidget?

All right, wizard, the job's yours.

All right?

All right.

All right...

All that bilge about the free soul,

All you do is dig in, push yourself forward...

Almost enough for second helpings.

Although she's just Small fry

Although she's just small fry Just about so high

Although she's not king size

Although she's not king size Her finger is ring size

Am I to understand that a daughter of mine would even think of going

And accomplished musician.

And anyway, what if I had?

And as for this king size fiddle...

And at 12:00 It's home we go

And besides, I've already got an escort, and...

And besides, with the plans I've got lined up...

And by the time I shake

And cute...

And even if I was, last night, my dad was on a real rampage,

And goes ahead and does it.

And he says he's running my social life

And I had planned on getting to bed pretty soon.

And I mean it.

And I'll see he gets it!

And if you ever tasted my mom's cheesecake...

And is he the one you like best?

And it's not a weenie roast.

And let's face it, like most of us, she's pushing 17.

And lovely,

And Lover Boy.

And maybe this head of mine

And Moondoggie, your heroic lifesaver.

And my mom and my grandmother.

And never have made the step.

And nothing else matters, hmm?

And nothing like When you fall in love for real

And right now what I want more than anything else in the whole wide world

And run along like a good little girl, huh?

And she always will I'm sure

And sweet...

And the Kahuna has always been a great coach.

And the luau's only 10 days away.

And the magic of her beauty Was gone

And the others?

And then, zoom! Speeding across the ocean, on top of the world!

And we could make it look real, couldn't we?

And we've made some real conquests down at State beach.

And what a way to go.

And what makes you such an authority on Kahuna?

And when that other one went banging on the door,

And worked his way up to be a big wheel.

And you could choose all over again?

And you don't.

And you earned every penny of it.

And you...

And you're coming with me. Come on, get in.

And, gee, I'd be extra super careful.

And, well, about this dream you had

And, well, as for the crew...

And, well, besides, I have to wait for Stinky, anyway.

And... and where's B.L.?

Any kind of taco fine for me.

Any objections?

Anything I can do?

Anything's gonna change my mind about going now.

Anytime I wanted to, just like the guys.

Anyway, I have hopes for the Kahuna.

Anyway, right now, there's one thing I've got to do,

Are you okay?

Are you Stinky? Yeah.

Are you sure that's want you want?

Are you, um...

Aren't we? Aren't we, Stinky, eating? Huh?

Artificial respiration, please.

As a full time surf bum like me...

As a matter of fact, honey,

As long as it was nothing important.

As surely as if you'd been hit on the head with a sledgehammer.

At a friend's house, down the highway.

Aw, come off it, kids.

Aw, gee, Patti, last year and the year before,

Aw, Kahuna...

Aw, Mom, I could perish,

Aw, Mom, the other girls,

Aw...

Aw...

Baby doll, what is it with you?

Baby...

Ball!

Be smart, kid. Why don't you go back to your playmates.

Beach shack!

Beach shack? Who else is going?

Because everything's fixed now.

Because he and I are two of a kind.

Because it's been so long,

Because it's not a coming out party.

Before I forget it's just a game.

Before she has us signed up with the major leagues.

Besides, one of the advantages

Besides, what's it to the great Kahuna

Besides, what's it to you?

Better step on it, Moondoggie, before it bites you.

Betty Louise, do you think Francie didn't want to go?

Boolee! Boolee.

Boy, are you a grouch.

Boy, how cute Can one gal be?

Boy, how cute Can one girl be?

Boy, there's a funny bit.

Boy, was it ever exciting!

Bringing a broad to a place like this, that's one thing,

Bury it.

Bury it.

But are you sure that's gonna happen to me?

But don't give it another thought, baby.

But don't worry,

But I can prove it.

But I can't make it tonight.

But I just got to have one of those boards, I've just got to.

But I thought you enjoyed yourself.

But I was thinking...

But I'm not changing my mind!

But it's too much money.

But last night, you never mentioned it.

But me, I'm hopeless.

But Moondoggie helped himself to my car to follow her.

But my Cinderella's beauty Won't ever stop

But my head would be A thumping

But picking you up first, that's extra for gas.

But she's quite a woman.

But take it from me,

But the rest of the crew might not like it.

But there were too many hours and rules and regulations.

But this time without the papoose in tow.

But we drive home very slow

But when do you work?

But who wants to solve their love life

But why?

But with you, it's different.

But you do. That's right, I do.

But you know the code... Live and let live.

But you, on one of his little private parties?

But you'll be all right.

But you've got it a little mixed up, Francie.

But, I...

But, uh, what is it?

By a 30 foot wave!

Bye bye, dear.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Bye. Have a good time.

Can I... can I make you a little more comfortable?

Can't you get on the radio and notify the prowl cars

Carving out a life for myself,

Cash customer?

Cash?

Chains.

Cheer up, angel.

Cinderella's so fine And she's always mine

Closing up shop.

Cold cash, legs of lamb.

Come here.

Come on, beat it.

Come on, doll, follow your coach.

Come on, Francie, I'll take you home.

Come on, get with it.

Come on, Gidget.

Come on, I know she's in there!

Come on, it's five after 12:00.

Come on, open up!

Come on, open up!

Come on, try it.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Cut it out, will you?

Coming out, Kahuna?

Could have seen, the whole summer long,

Could you tell us how to get there?

Count them, girls.

Cozy, huh?

Cramming on math and biology...

Crazy feeling one person can get about another person.

Crazy, crazy.

Crowned!

Daddy, how could you?

Daddy, I'm really very late.

Daddy...

Dames?

Dance all night Up to 12:00

Darling, according to Dr. West,

Darling, do you have a headache?

Darling, try to be gracious.

Darling, what is it?

Darling, what is it?

Darling, why didn't you tell us?

Darling, you like boys, don't you?

Darling... you're right.

Did you get the look that doll gave me?

Didn't we all have a ball?

Do you have ask?

Do you have to come back for more laughs?

Do you know anybody else it impresses?

Do you know what she's talking about?

Do you know where she is? I don't know.

Do you know who that stoop Hot Shot had lined up for the job?

Do you like it?

Do you see those girls over there?

Do you think this is what the young man of today wants?

Do?

Doctor said it was too much sun and water.

Doesn't that kind of stuff make your skin crawl?

Don't underestimate your performance back there, Barrymore.

Don't worry.

Don't you ever give up?

Don't you know that frowning is bad for the face, beautiful?

Dorothy, I tell you,

Dorothy, why did she have to go?

Dorothy... Dorothy.

Duet time, eh, Francie girl?

Easygoing stuff.

Either a guy's got a talent for a certain way of life, or he hasn't.

Either a man's got a talent

Either a man's got a talent

Either you call him up and tell him to come here and pick you up,

Even an old used one is $25.

Every living emotion I've ever had!

Exactly what would you say it is?

Except for one thing.

Excuse me, I... I don't mean to be nosy.

Fastest parking attendant West of the Rockies.

Feel what?

Fine? Fine? Oh, all right. Yeah.

Flat as a pancake, huh?

Follow the sun, and all of that jazz.

For 16 years, I'd gone blindly along enjoying myself

For a cash customer, huh?

For a certain way of life, or he hasn't.

For a regular weekend date

For a summer of sheer happiness.

For at least a couple of weeks.

For them, it's a summer romance.

For whenever you want it.

For you to find new interests,

For your information, you almost drowned.

Forget it? Yes, forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it. Wait a minute!

Forget it. You're not the type.

Frances Lawrence, now, listen to me.

Frances.

Francie has got to make it this summer,

Francie, a boy only thinks more of you if you...

Francie, girl!

Francie, I've told you, there's only one way.

Francie, really.

Francie, Saturday night, concert time!

Francie, this is Jeffrey Matthews.

Francie, won't you... sit down?

Francie, you didn't tell us.

Francie!

Francie!

Francie! How could you?

Francie! Oh, Mama...

Francie? Our little girl?

Francie...

Gee, all I wanted to do is surf. That's all.

Gee, all my life,

Gee, fellows, this is the way I like it,

Gee, I...

Gee, I'm sorry, Kahuna.

Gee, if I could only make Moondoggie jealous.

Gee, if... if I had one of those boards,

Gee, Kahuna, I can't thank you enough.

Gee, Kahuna, thanks.

Gee, this is a real den of iniquity, isn't it?

Gee, with the guys off signing up for fall semester,

Gee, you look dressed to kill.

Gee, you look neat.

Gee... I guess you could call this

Get lost, huh.

Get me one of each, and get something for yourself...

Get off my back, will you?

Get ready.

Gidge, you don't know what you're getting into.

Gidget is the one for me

Gidget is the one for me...

Girl and midget... a gidget.

Glad you had such a good time at the beach.

Go ahead! Go ahead and say all the horrible things you like,

Go ahead. Then I might start.

Go on back to Mama... and run, don't walk.

Go on down and cut some kelp.

Go right ahead.

Going back to senior year.

Going to pick up his glamorous date?

Good idea.

Good night, dear.

Good night.

Gosh, I can hardly wait to try it out.

Gosh, I owe you my life.

Gosh, if I had a whole lifetime of that,

Got a cute little girl And I call her Cinderella

Growing up is a very slow and painful process for a girl.

Guess I'm getting kicked out...

Hardly.

Have a good time.

Haven't you any pride?

He could make something of his life.

He gave a great performance.

He smokes a pipe. Oh, yes.

He started out on a shoestring

He was only a mess.

He wouldn't dig the word.

He'll coach her.

He'll tell you all about himself. He sure will.

He's a college man.

He's a wonderful boy... er, man.

He's going to do it!

He's taken a job.

Hell, when I get down to Peru,

Hello, Francie.

Hello, Jeff. Mrs. Lawrence.

Hello.

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Somebody, help!

Help! Help! Somebody, help!

Her finger is ring size

Her first what?

Her royal coach My hopped up Ford

Here I am, almost 17,

Here, I found these on the floor.

Here, you want to read it?

Here.

Here...

Hey, but my credit's good!

Hey, can we do it again?

Hey, chow!

Hey, come on, you're tickling me.

Hey, couldn't we compromise,

Hey, don't tell me that Gidget's jealous.

Hey, fellows, we're eating again.

Hey, fellows! Let go! Hey! Hey!

Hey, Francie, come here!

Hey, Francie's no tourist.

Hey, gee, this is neat.

Hey, Gidge, listen, Gidge, about that money...

Hey, Gidge...

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, hotshot, check this one.

Hey, Joanne!

Hey, Kahuna,

Hey, kid.

Hey, look, pal, I'm a little busy in here.

Hey, look, this wasn't my idea.

Hey, maybe we could let the Gidget

Hey, Moondoggie,

Hey, Mr. Lifeguard Hero, sir!

Hey, now. Hey, what's up?

Hey, Red! Hello, Red!

Hey, remember?

Hey, she's a trifle young, don't you think?

Hey, some pull out, huh?

Hey, this is the ultimate!

Hey, wait a minute, fellows.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Hey, what are you, robbing the cradle, Moondoggie?

Hey, what is this?

Hey, what's the matter?

Hey, where are you going?

Hey, who is this guy you're out to turn green?

Hey, you don't look very good.

Hey, you had enough?

Hey, you know...

Hey, you still want to be a member?

Hey, you... really are sweet.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hip, hip, hooray!

Hey...

Hey...

Hi, Francie.

Hi, Mom and Pop. I'm home.

Hi!

Hi! How's the water?

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Not bad for a beginner.

Hi...

Hip, hip, hooray!

Hold it.

Honest to goodness, it's the absolute ultimate!

Honest to goodness, Mama,

Honest, fellows, I'd love a luau.

Honey, maybe you need a few hormone shots.

Hot Shot, big fraternity man,

How about a pipe?

How about one of my little...

How about one of your little private parties?

How about that tunnel back there. Did you see it, huh?

How about what?

How can anyone be so neat?

How can we disregard it?

How can we not take heed?

How could I what?

How soon...

How to get to the luau and make him jealous!

How was I to guess some drip cello student would turn out to be you?

How would you like to do your old dad

How's it going?

How's our mascot?

How's that, angel?

Hubba, hubba, hubba.

Huh?

Huh. It's pretty good for the first time, huh?

Huh. Well, that's a relief.

Hundred to one, they never set foot in the ocean.

Hurry up, Francie, you'll be late.

I admit it's been getting a little hungry around here,

I am different.

I assure you, nothing like this will ever happen again.

I believe the boys call her Gidget.

I bought it in Acapulco for 20 cruddy pesos.

I came as a favor to my dad.

I can hardly wait till we hop that freighter.

I can promise you that.

I can spot trouble through a crack in the blind,

I can tell you right now,

I can't kid anybody.

I come home as pure as the driven snow.

I could be a surfer too. I could come down here and surf

I could just die.

I could perish with shame.

I could use some easy cash.

I don't care what she is, Dorothy, I won't have it.

I don't know how she's going to face

I don't know where it is,

I don't know, dear.

I don't know.

I don't mean to yell, or... or be fresh, or...

I fixed some iced coffee for you, if you'd like.

I got an eye for things like this.

I guess I just don't belong anymore.

I guess I'll have to look up the definition of the word again.

I guess they fell out of your pocket.

I guess we both said a lot of things we didn't mean.

I had to move on and leave all my new friends...

I had to move on and leave all my new friends...

I had to stand her up tonight. I'm working.

I have it!

I have to think of something faster.

I introduced you to him at the convention.

I just don't care anymore.

I just made it up.

I just want to go, and I'm going!

I kind of had some plans of my own at that luau.

I know Flyboy was all you had.

I know that you and Francie

I know what it means in the Lawrence house.

I may have to lose her At 12:00

I mean it. I'd do anything to get Kahuna.

I mean, a girl like you...

I mean, all the fellows around here respect you.

I mean, as... as a friend, I've got to straighten you out.

I mean, doesn't everybody have to have a goal or something?

I mean, how is a guy to measure up

I mean, I just can't stand

I mean, I understand how you said in the war

I mean, I'd feel like a man with a toupee.

I mean, if I...

I mean, if this... if this weren't just a job for pay...

I mean, it's the ultimate!

I mean, it's... it's perfectly obvious

I mean, only because I think Kahuna's looking,

I mean, well, boys are the most fun, but...

I mean, why can't we go on being like that always?

I mean, you don't have to worry

I mean, you know what Saturday night means to most fellows.

I mean, you'd have to be

I mean... well, sure.

I never figured he'd change.

I never heard anything so ridiculous...

I said, you look like you're out to hook some guy.

I say, there's nothing like this in England, you know.

I see.

I should have worked at being an A student in both,

I suppose you'll tell him how you dusted me off.

I swear it scorched my bathing suit half off.

I tell you, why don't we go to Santa Monica,

I think I'll go and lie down.

I told Walter

I told Walter, Call the police.

I told you myself, I'm a surf bum.

I was looking for Stinky.

I wired my dad this morning, and...

I wonder what's taking them so long.

I worked like a dog to get even invited to this brawl!

I would do anything for her, but...

I... I couldn't live that way

I... I don't mean to be edgy or rude to you, but...

I... I got it handled. You don't need to worry.

I... I got the money for my board.

I... I guess I'll get them here sometime.

I... I guess Stinky did it.

I... I guess.

I... I mean, breathing down a person's neck.

I... I mean, golly, who cares about him, but...

I'd better see if I can get one of the guys to drive you home.

I'd do anything for her, and...

I'd lose my love sublime

I'd... I'd do it all over again.

I'll be down in a minute.

I'll be right back.

I'll blow when I'm ready.

I'll do my best.

I'll get me a bird that treats me with a little respect.

I'll have a hamburger with chips.

I'll probably die an old maid

I'll see you later.

I'll see you later.

I'll tell you what I've had enough of...

I'll wait for you in the car.

I'll, um...

I'm a real member now, huh?

I'm a surf bum.

I'm afraid the place you daughter was,

I'm for the birds.

I'm glad you like it.

I'm going lock her in her room.

I'm going to be the best female surfer in California!

I'm going to dump you with the rest of your feathered relatives.

I'm going to get my gear.

I'm going to give that young lady a good talking to.

I'm going to...

I'm going, all right.

I'm her own Prince Charming And her beauty's so alarming

I'm no cruddy sponger.

I'm not going back to school.

I'm not going to light into her,

I'm not the outdoor type.

I'm only going to give her a talking to.

I'm only here to be gracious.

I'm positive.

I'm so in love with her

I'm sorry, but the Kahuna's waiting.

I'm sorry, girls, but I guess I'm just not interested...

I'm sorry, sergeant.

I'm the lucky guy That she calls her fellow

I've been hit on the back of the head with a sledgehammer.

I've found the answer to all my problems

I've got it!

I've got just the thing.

I've got the top down and everything.

I've got to figure out a plan of attack.

I've got to raise a mint in a hurry.

I've never flunked out on a subject yet,

I've never had any trouble

If I came inside for a while?

If I could what?

If I didn't get her home On time

If I have to lock you in your room,

If I just took her up to the...

If I want to be the type of girl to get invited,

If I were ever to, uh, to let myself go...

If it's not what you really want...

If it's that important, come on.

If she says she hates you

If she says she hates you

If she says she loves you

If she says she loves you

If that's a bad feature I'll be the teacher

If that's your bad feature I'll be the teacher

If you could choose all over again.

If you ever dare to go out again without...

If you want to see She's the one with me

If you're really serious about making it

If... If I had to,

If... if something happened,

In front of your parents.

In Hawaiian, it means, Big chief.

In that case, we need the right atmosphere, hmm?

In the book it says That the clock struck 12:00

In the name of heavens, what is this?

Infernal racket...

Is he looking now?

Is it's not up to you.

Is make my little girl unhappy.

Is pretend like we're mad for each other.

Is that right?

Is there!

Is to go to that luau!

Is working for some sort of a goal, or...

Is you're not a... a manhunter.

Isn't it kind of late for you, young lady?

Isn't that wonderful, Russell?

It doesn't mean anything if a guy doesn't really mean it.

It has all the earmarks of a dame.

It just wouldn't smell right if I kept taking handouts.

It looked like a real brawl.

It looks like every surfer from here to San Onofre turned up.

It must be wonderful, if you like that sort of thing.

It probably won't happen to me before I'm middle aged.

It very well may be She's just a baby

It very well may be She's just a baby

It very well may be She's just a baby

It was a beauty, a great piece of chop.

It was like nothing I ever felt before!

It was the little white house

It was the ultimate!

It'll all be different then because you'll feel something magic,

It'll really slay him.

It's a biological fact, Russ.

It's a dame all right, only kind of a pint sized version.

It's a fake and a phony

It's about the best thing that ever happened to me.

It's all over now.

It's an orgy. Yeah.

It's better than trying to keep up a farce

It's called a father complex.

It's fake.

It's just like I wrote my old man,

It's just some beach shack.

It's just the fever.

It's kind of waterlogged.

It's like this, man...

It's my old man.

It's not that.

It's probably a symptom of your whole problem.

It's time for you to go home, that's what it is...

It's too dangerous for dames.

It's up to the young man.

It's your problem.

Jealous of who?

Joe's place? What is that, a restaurant?

Just a good paying job,

Just a minute till I hop on here.

Just a tip, sir.

Just a touch of tonsillitis,

Just about so high

Just about so high

Just by wearing Buck's fraternity pin,

Just for the board, remember?

Just in between age

Just Kahuna and me.

Just keep yourself in the middle of the board. That's it.

Just like the inner Craves for the dinner

Just like you said about...

Just one crazy question?

Just remember, she might be pint sized,

Just right.

Just till midnight, huh?

Just till midnight.

Just to take you to a luau?

Just try and do without it

Just want to take a last look, is all.

Kahuna, I want to come to that luau.

Kahuna, listen...

Kahuna, of course.

Kahuna, that's a boy's name?

Kahuna, what are you doing?

Kahuna?

Kahuna?

Kahuna...

Kahuna... could I ask you

Kahuna... could I ask you

Kahuna's okay, I suppose, but for a kid like you...

Keep your shirts on. She's coming!

Keep your shirts on. She's coming!

Kids need some supervision,

Last night, after all those hours of concentrated effort,

Let alone a babe in arms like you.

Let me in on the gag too, huh?

Let's not kid, huh? You know it was my allowance check.

Letting eligible men see you in an outfit like that.

Lie down.

Like a fool who never guesses what's in store for her.

Like I said,

Like little bells ringing in your heart.

Like you, Kahuna.

Likewise someone to cling to When there's a moon above

Listen, Gidge,

Listen, girl, and please don't get sore

Listen, maybe the Kahuna's gone off his rocker,

Listening to the radio

Look, all I'm thinking about is getting on our way to places we'll see.

Look, I can take a gag.

Look, it's okay.

Look, it's okay. Hot Shot briefed me on the setup.

Look, kid, you've got no obligations to me.

Look, last night,

Look, set her straight, will you,

Look, what I said, it's... it's nothing personal.

Look, when I make up my mind to get something, I get it.

Look, you weren't hired for advice.

Look, you're the one that's been telling me all about this, uh...

Look.

Looks about 4 foot 3

Love is a human need

Love makes room for faults.

Lover Boy!

Make like you can't see them for sand.

Make yourself at home, Gidge.

Man, would I give a tidy sum to be...

Manhunt!

May I see your driver's license please?

Maybe she had amnesia?

Maybe they didn't notice us.

Maybe we ought to initiate her.

Maybe you could take me home?

Mm hmm, mm, mm, mm...

Mm hmm.

Mm, I'm sure of it.

Mom, but what does a person do about it?

Mom, I mean, gee, I'm serious.

Mom? Hmm?

Money gidget bringer.

Money?

Money?

Moondoggie! Hey, wait...

Moondoggie?

Moondoggie...

Moondoggie...

Moondoggie...

Moondoggie...

Mother, are you going to let Daddy stand there and ruin the whole thing?

Moving around this whole cockeyed hemisphere

Mow the lawn?

My daughter enjoys the pleasures

My daughter, Francie, Jeffrey.

My daughter's out traipsing around luring...

My friend let me have his convertible tonight, and...

My hero, sir. I'm so glad you saved me!

My turn.

Naw, I got to brew up my morning java first.

Near the center of the board.

Necessity gave A cold, cold hand a glove

Nice fishing, Moondoggie,

Nice.

No hurry, just got to get used to the feel.

No substitute Or facsimile thereof

No wonder they call them the Lost Generation.

No, I don't, dear.

No, I don't.

No, I guess not.

No, I told you, not just to take me.

No, I'm to blame.

No, I've forgotten all about him.

No, just a free life, no chains.

No, just a friendly little tousle, officer.

No, Mommy, no, it... it's something else.

No, no, no, it's my fault.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, no. You're all off. Sit down.

No, not a coach, just some books.

No, not a coach, just some books.

No, of course not.

No, sir.

No, this is fine.

No...

No... No, they just like to surf.

Nobody can help you make him jealous.

Nobody ever consulted me about what flight I was in the mood for.

Nobody owes anybody anything.

None of that technique business for me.

Not a care in the world.

Not a chance.

Not a one, not a one and a...

Not a soul.

Not for me, it hasn't.

Not if they don't let themselves get involved.

Not if they play it smart.

Not if you say it's all right,

Nothing They've thought of yet

Nothing, except the guy he pictured

Now I'll take her in a little deeper.

Now make a wish and blow.

Now, ask yourself one vital question.

Now, do you want the job, or do I have to find someone else?

Now, figure it this way...

Now, Gidge, you listen to me.

Now, hear this, Francie Lawrence.

Now, honest, surfing is out of this world!

Now, look, what kind of a gag is this?

Now, take it easy, you hear.

Now, there's a perfectly swell guy

Now, wait till he finds out about me...

Now, you know you don't want that.

Obviously, there's some mistake.

Of an outdoor sport...

Of being a young lady is

Of course, if I were to lose my only family,

Of course, Moondoggie can tell you

Oh gosh, they're all nice boys.

Oh, a couple of weeks.

Oh, anyway, it's too late.

Oh, be realistic, Francie.

Oh, boy, can't you just feel it in the air?

Oh, boy, now, that is hilarious.

Oh, boy, when I think of all the hours I spent

Oh, brother, that guy's glands must be working overtime.

Oh, brother, the bigger the are, the dopier they come.

Oh, but I haven't even thanked you for saving my life...

Oh, but of course, you're different.

Oh, but you've got to. It's delicious.

Oh, but, Daddy, surfing is very outdoorish!

Oh, come on. Don't give up so easily.

Oh, Daddy, I mean,

Oh, Daddy, I'd work like a slave for it.

Oh, Daddy, you've made me so happy!

Oh, darling, your father's so anxious

Oh, don't worry, he...

Oh, don't worry, I will.

Oh, for my birthday! Would that ever be cool!

Oh, Francie,

Oh, Francie!

Oh, gee, I've got a real serious problem.

Oh, gee, thanks for stopping.

Oh, gee, would, uh...

Oh, gee, you make it sound real nice,

Oh, Gidge, yeah.

Oh, golly, it's beautiful.

Oh, gosh, Mom, you know how I feel about dates.

Oh, great.

Oh, he's going to do it!

Oh, hello, girls.

Oh, hey, hey, hey!

Oh, hey, look at this...

Oh, ho, ho.

Oh, I am not interested in Jeffrey Matthews' son

Oh, I boned up on a few basic principles...

Oh, I boned up on a few basic principles...

Oh, I did it!

Oh, I don't think Francie was eager to.

Oh, I know, Oedipus and all that.

Oh, I tell you,

Oh, I told you, a wheel.

Oh, I'd be glad to!

Oh, I'll bring piles of food...

Oh, I'm exhausted.

Oh, I'm not so sure, darling,

Oh, I'm not so sure, darling,

Oh, it'll take forever to add even an inch,

Oh, it's just something between the two of us...

Oh, it's just what Moondoggie fished out yesterday.

Oh, it's Moondoggie!

Oh, it's so icky!

Oh, just a passing impression.

Oh, just on the road

Oh, just wait...

Oh, Kahuna, I'm sorry.

Oh, Kahuna, I'm sorry.

Oh, Kahuna, they won't care,

Oh, let me do it. I'm a wizard in the kitchen,

Oh, listen, B.L., you don't have to go.

Oh, look, I didn't pay for the eats,

Oh, Mom, do I have to go?

Oh, Mom. It's all true,

Oh, Mom. It's all true,

Oh, Moondoggie!

Oh, my purse...

Oh, no, I'm just waiting for my date.

Oh, no, I'm just... just a little...

Oh, no, I'm no dame.

Oh, no!

Oh, no.

Oh, no. Back again?

Oh, no. Thanks all the same.

Oh, not till next month.

Oh, Patti, please...

Oh, please!

Oh, please?

Oh, poor Francie.

Oh, Pop, it could mean sheer heaven

Oh, Pop, Mama, I'm sorry.

Oh, Russ, can't you see?

Oh, she'll live. What time is it, Kahuna?

Oh, she's just a bit skittish.

Oh, sure, I'll be there.

Oh, sweetheart, please believe me,

Oh, that hot wet hand set.

Oh, that'll slay him.

Oh, that's all right, honey. Go have a ball.

Oh, that's only the half of it.

Oh, that's the last of my allowance again.

Oh, them, all they care about is...

Oh, there it is then, it proves it.

Oh, this is my wife, Mrs. Lawrence.

Oh, uh, I'm not being picked up.

Oh, um... maybe you'd like to...

Oh, we're all friends.

Oh, well, B.L. would've broken her date,

Oh, well, I think I'll cut out too.

Oh, well, in that case, fellows,

Oh, well, stop worrying.

Oh, well, thank you very much, but I can take care of myself.

Oh, well, uh, it's a little late,

Oh, well, what do you know?

Oh, well... Well, no, I don't think so, no.

Oh, what is it, Francie?

Oh, what's the use.

Oh, yeah, it was creamy.

Oh, yeah, on the surface only, of course.

Oh, yeah, the luau.

Oh, yeah, well, I tried that once,

Oh, you are.

Oh, you doll, you!

Oh, you know I am.

Oh, you know men.

Oh, you know, just kids horsing around, having picnics.

Oh, young man, could you help us?

Oh!

Oh! Oh, hi, Mrs. Lawrence.

Oh! What's happening?

Oh?

Oh.

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh...

Oh... no.

Oh... Oh, but... but you can't.

Ohh!

Oi! Hey, hey! Hey, Moondoggie, baby. Break it up.

Okay if I wait with you?

Okay, I'll bring it.

Okay, it's a deal.

Okay, okay, you guys, knock it off.

Okay, okay. All right!

Okay, so maybe you think I shouldn't have torn it up.

Okay, so now you have.

Okay, so the word's around...

Okay, so you're an A student. That's parent stuff.

Okay. Keep cutting.

Okay...

Old Hot Shot got tied up till midnight,

On a date, ugh, he gets all unglued.

On the surface only, of course.

On the way everybody else lives.

One, two, one, two,

One, two, one, two, one, two,

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two,

One, two, one, two...

Ones of the major steps in my life.

Only what if you could go back

Only, the way I feel about Kahuna...

Only, you see, it's got to be a clean break.

Ooh, ooh!

Or forget about the whole thing.

Or his nephew or his dog!

Or months and months of stark solitude.

Or she'll be a social outcast.

Or... or at the end of every summer,

Or... or at the end of every summer,

Orange dress with some white strings on the front?

Our teenage daughter, Russ.

Peel, girl.

Personally, I find her delightful company, and...

Piles and piles of food.

Please don't feel too bad.

Please, a maneuver like this takes technique.

Please?

Pop, can I get you your slippers?

Pounds? Pounds? Money?

Practically any fool

Presented it?

Pride?

Private parties?

Put her down, boys. Set her right down.

Put one foot a few inches ahead of the other,

Read it.

Really!

Relax, man.

Relax. Listen, I can play Romeo as well as Hot Shot any time.

Respect. That... That's terribly important to you, isn't it?

Right now is the whole turning point of my life.

Right now, right this minute...

Run delivery service from the hot dog stand.

Russ, don't you dare light into that poor child.

Russ, it is Francie's birthday next month.

Russ, she's driving away!

See if I can scare up some coffee or something.

See the very place

See you at the luau, huh?

See, this beach is for surfers only.

She acts sort of teenage

She can't. She can't. I won't let her.

She does make it sound attractive.

She just got thrown under

She went because she had to.

She's about this tall, blond,

She's an accomplished musician.

She's got a real yen to pick up on surfing.

She's in deep enough already.

She's my little girl, my little baby.

She's not here.

She's obviously been to the shack

She's only been surfing a little over a month.

She's real clean When she climbs aboard

She's the one That makes my life complete

She's what?

Shh!

Shoot.

Shut off that infernal racket.

Six gorgeous hunks of male,

Slip into something more comfortable, hmm?

So I borrowed it.

So I've taken over the... assignment.

So if you know what's good for you, you'll take your board

So long, B.L., and thanks for everything.

So long, Mom.

So who needs it.

So who needs them?

So why don't you go, hmm?

Soft...

Some books?

Someday, darling, you will.

Sounds like you're a goner, kid.

Speaking romantically

Speaking romantically

Speaking romantically

Stop forward or back to meet the changing pitch of the wave.

Stop forward or back to meet the changing pitch of the wave.

Suit yourself.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure. I never felt better in my life.

Sure. Where to?

Sweet, but tell it to the boys today.

Take a boy like Jeffrey Matthews' son...

Take it from me. I know the Kahuna.

Talking with girls before in my life,

Tell me about it. I'd like to hear.

Tell them the man said to take the toy back the nursery.

Tell Waikiki I borrowed his car to go into town.

Than student of human nature.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, officer.

Thanks a lot. Thanks loads.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks, I'm not hungry.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That can also mean She loves you

That can also mean She loves you

That gidget?

That looks like your style.

That the boys my little girl goes out with are worthy of her.

That there are such guarantees.

That there are such guarantees.

That time I congratulated you for getting straight A's?

That when you got loose there'd be no more chains,

That you get a man through his own interests.

That's a manhunter?

That's great!

That's how anxious all the fellows are

That's Lord Byron. The beard means he digs existentialism.

That's not the only catch.

That's practically forgotten, and...

That's right.

That's right.

That's right. That's what the man said, he...

That's the place. Right over there. Right down there.

That's the secret to the whole thing.

That's the way It's going to be

That's the way it's gonna be

That's the way it's gonna be

That's what I came here for.

That's what you said then?

That's where my job takes me.

The beach is half deserted already.

The code is, Live and let live.

The day, the hour, and the moment has arrived.

The end of summer.

The female matures earlier than the male.

The Gidget stuck on the great Kahuna...

The kind of lessons you'll pick up around here aren't for you.

The last thing in the world I want to do

The man I'm after sure does want something else,

The man said for me to take the toy back to the nursery.

The minute we saw that girl go in...

The one I'm gone on.

The one you'd do anything for.

The only difference between you and your friends

The only what?

The party's over, now blow.

The right kind of girl.

The same age as Nan and the rest of them.

The sea left its whisper in there.

The sound you now hear is your little baby girl,

The step?

The swells are getting pretty big. I'll see you later.

The two of you can fall down laughing.

The way I always like it.

The way we see it around here, the Kahuna and me,

The young lady be darned.

Then away we fly Cinderella and I

Then you better get out of the sun before you melt.

Then...

There we go.

There won't be any more trouble.

There you go. There you are, honey.

There, now, try and get some sleep, huh?

There, there, dear.

There.

There'll always be a Santa Monica.

There's a price tag on everything.

There's no such thing as The next best thing to love

There's no such thing as The next best thing to love

There's no such thing As the next best thing to love

There's no such thing With the very same appeal

There's nothing more to say.

There's nothing to be sorry about.

There's something I have to ask you.

There's your answer, little one.

They cost about 75 clams apiece.

They don't seem to have any trouble,

They're all bums too?

This crummy tonsillitis,

This is it. Now, hold on for your life.

This is Jeffrey.

This is Jeffrey's son, Jeff.

This is something I would've never pegged you for.

This is supposed to co op venture.

This is the kid I was telling you about.

This luau is not a luau...

This much I'm certain of

This summer was the turning point in my life.

This surfboard is a gilt edge guarantee

Those are not ears.

Those guys just aren't interested.

Those hogs. Somebody must have taken seconds. Here.

Till Kahuna takes notice,

To a certain beach shack.

To a place that she was unwelcome?

To be a real woman is to bring out the best in a man.

To be able to turn your back

To be above the whole crowd,

To be on the lookout for my daughter?

To date, what has your life added up to?

To get this date tonight, I had to fork over cold cash.

To let anyone treat you shabbily.

To me? Nothing. Why should it be?

To our favorite Drive in show

To put it bluntly, the kid's studied up on about everything but sex,

To someone like him?

To take out your darling daughter.

To that time in your life,

Tomorrow.

Tonight must be special.

Trouble.

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

Uh huh. Yeah, there.

Uh, Dorothy, you remember Jeffrey Matthews?

Uh, Francie...

Uh, I hope Moondoggie here

Uh, I suppose, uh, well, you and he talk a lot

Uh, no, not too much.

Uh, remember me? My name is Francie.

Uh, sit down, Jeffrey.

Uh, where's...

Uh, will you give me a lift?

Um, all right, angel.

Um, could you put them back?

Underneath it all, I always did think

Understatement of the year.

Unless you take that daughter of yours in hand,

Waikiki. Aloha.

Wait till the girls get a load of this.

Wasn't last night enough?

We can dance all night At the record hop

We can spend the night Jumping

We can use a mascot around here.

We do. Flyboy and me.

We found her on the road.

We just happen to be on our way

We might be able to help you.

We throw in a free lesson.

We'll have them drooling.

We'll hold you to it.

We'll keep it right there...

We'll, get him.

We're gonna shoot the curl.

We're looking for our daughter, Francie Lawrence.

We're, we're not just gonna barge in on them.

We've got more stuff in our freezer

Well, a girl has to get started sometime,

Well, all we need to do for a while,

Well, almost, anyway.

Well, because, you...

Well, boy, I just hope you're a better actor

Well, do you find that there's anything weird about me?

Well, for crying out...

Well, gee, not any of the high school creeps I know.

Well, he probably was nervous.

Well, he said she went with Kahuna to Joe's place.

Well, he's not the only one who's changed.

Well, hey!

Well, honest. I mean, I don't remember the exact address,

Well, how about it?

Well, how much is a mint?

Well, I don't know. It just sounds like easy money, but...

Well, I don't mind learning

Well, I I I guess we could begin by holding hands.

Well, I just hope we could part friends.

Well, I mean, everybody in life is...

Well, I mean, I mean, you don't have a goal or...

Well, I said it was a crazy question.

Well, I should hope not.

Well, I... I guess I should have told you,

Well, I'll go get my gear.

Well, I'm no different from any of them...

Well, if this is a manhunt, I'll take swimming.

Well, if you must know, it's a bribe.

Well, in the name of heavens will you tell me what is this,

Well, including what I have on hand, an extra...

Well, isn't it usual for friends to...

Well, it positively surpasses

Well, it would depend on who.

Well, it... it may be awfully naive of me,

Well, it... it's already happened, hasn't it, Patti?

Well, it's just not daughterly.

Well, it's like anything,

Well, Kahuna, you know yourself,

Well, let him get undifferent fast.

Well, let's call today a dry run.

Well, let's say I can make a guess,

Well, let's see how much progress we've made.

Well, level with me, Mom,

Well, look, I was wondering...

Well, n now, take me.

Well, not me.

Well, not when I want something.

Well, now, let me see,

Well, now, take Dizzy Maynard, for instance.

Well, say, for example,

Well, she's more fish than dish.

Well, so what. You bought it.

Well, sure.

Well, that's good.

Well, that's it. He's the one.

Well, the girls compare But it stops right there

Well, the weather certainly has been...

Well, then you got to learn to take what you can get.

Well, they're not even looking this way.

Well, this gentleman is different.

Well, uh, don't you find the Kahuna on the lazy side?

Well, uh, I'm...

Well, uh, so long, Fran.

Well, uh...

Well, well, uh,

Well, what's holding us up?

Well, who did you expect, Kim Novak?

Well, who else?

Well, who knows what hoodlums.

Well, why should you. It's my problem.

Well, would it be all right

Well, yeah, I guess so. I mean, they're all nice guys.

Well, you know I buy that, Kahuna.

Well, you know the espresso cafe on Wilshire, Portofino?

Well, you know what they say

Well, you see I left home in such a hurry that...

Well, you see, what I need the money for is...

Well?

Well...

Well...

Well...

Well... well, how do...

Were you really sick, or did you go hire yourself a coach somewhere?

What a bundle.

What a friend.

What are these boys like?

What are we starting, a baby farm here?

What are you trying to do, spoil the picture?

What boy, or...

What did he mean, Quite a woman?

What did he mean, Quite a woman?

What did he, uh...

What do you think we're running here, a finance company?

What do you think we're running here, a finance company?

What do you want to know, angel? My life's an open book.

What happened?

What is it, little one?

What is it?

What is it? Moondoggie?

What jet propelled him all of a sudden?

What kind of insanity has taken hold of this family?

What luau? Oh, no.

What, did you... did you lose Moondoggie?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? The bird?

What'll happen to your future?

What'll the boss lady have first?

What's all this?

What's she doing upstairs?

What's that, Gidget?

What's the girl's name?

What's the idea?

What's the matter?

What's the use?

What's there to be sorry about?

What's with you two? What's happened?

What's wrong with the Gidge?

When he works. Very funny.

When he's helping me dissect snails in a biology class.

When I get you back to Peru,

When I pick her up at 8

When is it? Not for a couple of weeks.

When it's the real thing, you'll know it,

When that Korean bit was over, I knew there was one thing I didn't want in life...

When they start smooching and pawing and...

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Where the natives presented this to the great Kahuna.

Where they'd been drinking beer, had a fistfight...

Where's all your friends from the beach,

Whether I'm the type or not.

Whether it be the real thing

Who are you out to slaughter? Huh?

Who said anything was the matter?

Who said.

Who says he even prefers tomboys.

Who was it that said,

Who, me?

Who's the poor innocent joker

Whoa, she's asking for it.

Whom.

Whoo hoo!

Whoop! We're on an elevator headed for the sky.

Why don't I like dates?

Why don't we face it? What can replace it?

Why not... Jeffrey?

Why you...

Why, it's like graduation day.

Why, somebody could almost live here.

Why, you must be kidding. He's twice your age.

Why?

Why?

Will have a lot in common.

Will you fellows stop treating me like an infant?

Win a few, lose a few.

With a long boardwalk.

With nothing to show for the whole summer!

With poison or a dagger?

Won't the little girls play dollies with you anymore?

Won't you sit down, dear?

Would you, uh, sort of wear this till I come back?

Wow.

Yeah, and warm.

Yeah, but courtesy of the house,

Yeah, but what if the young man doesn't know you're alive?

Yeah, but when, and I mean, how am I going to know what...

Yeah, but you got to square it with the Kahuna first.

Yeah, either there or Hawaii.

Yeah, get me a hot dog with the works, honey!

Yeah, I bet you would.

Yeah, I guess we did.

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah, I lost him, all right.

Yeah, I'm sure.

Yeah, it's all right, but what do I do now?

Yeah, Patti, all she does is curb our operation.

Yeah, rock bottom.

Yeah, that's right. Come on.

Yeah, the Island of Kauai...

Yeah, there we are.

Yeah, wasn't it?

Yeah, we're pretty close. Why?

Yeah, well, he's an older boy.

Yeah, well, his son is out here for the summer.

Yeah, well, listen, if cutting corners like you...

Yeah, well, listen, if cutting corners like you...

Yeah, who works when the surf's good.

Yeah, yeah. Ha, ha.

Yeah, you better listen to Moondoggie here, miss.

Yeah?

Yeah? When?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah...

Yeah...

Yes, and there's this one extra guy

Yes, I do. I think it's the glasses.

Yes, sir, I'm going.

Yes, sir. Sir, if you just calm down a little,

Yes?

Yes?

Yes. There...

Yesterday was my first.

You aren't gonna scare our Gidget there. Uh uh.

You better get your monocle, Lord Byron.

You better start learning, Moondoggie,

You bring the moolah?

You can bet your boots She loves you

You can bet your boots She loves you

You can learn anything from books, you know.

You can't mean...

You can't quit now.

You crazy tomboy.

You didn't even say goodbye or...

You don't have to tell me who it is till after we get there.

You don't need anybody.

You don't need anybody.

You done much surfing?

You feel okay?

You gonna be sick?

You got sick of all the rules and regulations,

You got tangled in some kelp.

You guess. You sure do.

You guessed it.

You have a visitor. Jeffrey Matthews is here!

You have radios in the cars, don't you?

You have?

You hear that?

You inspire me.

You just can't imagine the thrill of shooting the curl!

You just don't know what it means to me to...

You just lost a customer.

You kept saying Moondoggie.

You kidding? You couldn't even lift one.

You kidding? You couldn't even lift one.

You know Stinky, of course...

You know, about the only thing my father's afraid of is water.

You know, call of the sea,

You know, give me the mad rush.

You know, got to follow the sun.

You know, I almost saw myself pickled in a jar at Harvard.

You know, I... I should've belted you one, right then.

You know, meet somewhere?

You know, something's screwy.

You know, the Kahuna, he's promised to coach me.

You may as well know, she's scarcely the charmer I made her out to be.

You mean, the Air Force?

You must admit, dear,

You said it yourself,

You see, he's meeting me somewhere.

You see, I got a flat.

You see, it's arrived at through osmosis.

You see, the fellows down at the beach are giving a big... a big party.

You sure could've fooled me.

You sure you want to leave so soon?

You sure you wouldn't rather have coffee?

You take a guy who believes in no strings attached,

You want it bad enough, you work for it,

You want to get a certain guy jealous, right?

You were a little bit of a square.

You weren't worried?

You will never again go near those beach hoodlums.

You won't be doing anything away from this room

You'd be surprised what the past, uh, tenants have left here.

You'll be fringed, out in the cold.

You're a person who knows what he wants to do

You're a real responsibility.

You're going to Peru?

You're going to Peru?

You're not coming to the luau?
