Quotes 

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [narrating]  I am happy to report that falling in love was as easy and natural as learning how to surf.

  [Gidget then falls off her surfboard] 

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [to Russell about Anne and John]  It's a good thing they got married. Saves two other people.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [narrating]  Meanwhile, to pass the time of day, I decided to make some extra entries in my diary.

  [reading from diary] 

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : "And then, dear diary, I knew I had no choice but to give in, and he kissed me as he's never kissed me before."

  [thinking of what to write next] 

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : And I - And I got goose pimples all over. Blech. And I fainted dead away? Yech. Sank into nothingness.

  [sinks down to the floor with a smile] 

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : Well, I've learned my lesson. I'm through with Jeff once and for all.

  Larue : You're through with him? Then what are we doing at the beach?

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : I'm gonna give him a second chance.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [narrating]  I was telling myself to face facts. I was not Sofia Loren. Good grief. Even she would have to think twice about Cornbread.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : Now Jeff has me exactly where he wants me. And when I think it was my idea ...

  Professor Russell Lawrence : Your idea?

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : You don't think Jeff would suggest it? When it comes to things like that, he's not square. He's cube.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : Funny thing about life. A few hours ago, I hit the lowest point of my whole absolute existence. And now I'm riding so high, I can't even see Cloud 9 when I look down. John would say that shows a lack of maturity, and I can't argue with him. When you're young, it's not easy to level off and fly right. It's too bad you can't be born with maturity - and then lose it later on when you're old enough not to need it anymore.

  [gasps] 

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : I wonder if thinking about stuff like that means I'm a philosopher.

  [yawning] 

  Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : Oh, I hope not. Because I'm too tired for all that jazz.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [narrating]  The moment we met, we knew we were meant for each other.

  [Jeff runs past her carrying a surfboard and, feeling her staring at him, turns to face her] 

  Jeff : Get lost.

• Frances "Gidget" Lawrence : [narrating]  I'll never forget the first time he told me he loved me.

  [They're both on a surfboard, Gidget's in front] 

  Jeff : Hey, what was your name again?

  [Gidget turns her head and makes a face at him] 

  Jeff : You know somethin'? You are kinda cute.

  [Gidget, with a smile, falls off the surfboard]
