Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : What's that? Gidget?
[singing]
Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Although she's just small fry, Just about so-high, Gidget is the one for me, A regular tomboy, But dressed for a prom, Boy, how cute, Can one girl be? Although she's not king size, Her finger is ring size, Gidget is the one for me...

Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : This wasn't my idea. I came as a favor to my dad. How was I to guess some drip cello student would turn out to be you?

Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Gosh, I owe you my life!
Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Forget it, will you? The way we see it around here, the Kahuna and me, nobody owes anybody anything. Not if they play it smart. Not if they don't let themselves get involved. Why don't you run along home, kid?
Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Boy, are you a grouch.

Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Cut it out, will you? I'm no cruddy sponger.

Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : But why?
Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Because it's not a coming-out party.
Waikiki : And it's not a weenie-roast.
Hot Shot : As a matter of fact, honey, this luau is not a luau...
Stinky : It's an orgy!
Hot Shot : Yeah! Yeah, yeah.

Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Practically any fool could have seen, the whole summer long, the one I'm gone on. Kahuna, of course.
Moondoggie : Kahuna?
Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Well, who else?
Moondoggie : Why, you must be kidding. He's twice your age.
Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Oh, I know, Oedipus and all that. It's called a father complex. Only, the way I feel about Kahuna - well, it's just not daughterly.

Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Lover Boy! A lady wrestler wouldn't be safe with that octopus, let alone a babe in arms like you.
-
Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : [singing] There's no such thing as, The next best thing to love, No substitute, Or facsimile thereof, How can we disregard it? How can we not take heed? Just like the inner, Craves for the dinner, Love is a human need...

Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : Listen, maybe the Kahuna's gone off his rocker, but you, on one of his little private parties? Gidge, you don't know what you're getting into.
Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Well, a girl has to get started sometime and the Kahuna has always been a great coach.
-
Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna : The party's over, now blow.
Jeffrey Matthews aka Moondoggie : I'll blow when I'm ready.
