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

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, Gidget, where's that steak?

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.
