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 : 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]
