Quotes 

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : [at the bar]  Gimme another one, Little Buddy.

  Bartender : Don't call me that. I *hate* that!

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : What does that mean, "we're not in?"

  Annette : Wild guess? I think it means they're not in.

  Bobby : Boy, it's quite a piece of dialogue when you intellectual masterminds get together! I should be writing this down!

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : But what does "we" mean?

  Bobby : [impossibly sarcastic]  I think it's the plural form, meaning "more than one." Would you like me to conjugate that for you, Pop? Do you know what "conjugate" means, Dad?

• Michael : We tried to figure where to take you last night, but you kept saying, "Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh did I ever leave Ohio?"

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : That's a damn good question.

• Dick Dale : You're asking me if I, Dick Dale, can play Venus?

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : Yes.

  Dick Dale : No.

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : You look familiar. Have we met?

  Willy Gilligan : I don't think so. I've been away for a long time.

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : Where? Prison?

  Willy Gilligan : No, worse then that. A tropical island in the Pacific. There were chicks there, but you couldn't touch them. Wanna hear about it?

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : No!

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : [Sandi throws her boyfriend's surfboard out the window]  What was that?

  Sandi : What was what?

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : That thing!

  Sandi : What thing?

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : I saw you throw a thing!

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : [to Annette]  Did you see that thing?

  Annette : I think I saw a thing but I don't know what thing I thought I saw.

  Bobby : God I'm proud. It's like a conversation at the Kissingers, isn't it?

• Willy Gilligan : You know, I lived with a guy for years. A real genius. He could take a couple of these pineapples or a couple of coconuts with some strings and wire and make a nuclear reactor. But he couldn't fix a two-foot hole in a boat. Wanna hear the rest?

  Frankie, the Big Kahuna : No!

  Willy Gilligan : Maybe the Midwest is for me.

• Frankie, the Big Kahuna : You're supposed to know what it means when I burn stuff!
