- Francie Lawrence aka Gidget: What'll happen to your future? I mean, doesn't everybody have to have a goal or something?
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: Who said? There's your answer, little one. "Who said?"
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: You done much surfing?
- Francie Lawrence aka Gidget: Uh, no, not too much. Yesterday was my first. Boy, was it ever exciting! It was like nothing I ever felt before! Whoop! We're on an elevator headed for the sky. And then, zoom! Speeding across the ocean, on top of the world! It was the ultimate!
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: The big kick, huh? Sounds like you're a goner, kid.

- Francie Lawrence aka Gidget: Well, not when I want something! Well, it's like anything, you want it bad enough, you work for it! And right now what I want more than anything else in the whole wide *world* is to go to that luau! Well, Kahuna, you know yourself, it's the bang-up finish to the whole summer! Well, it's like graduation day. I mean, it's the ultimate!
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: Oh, Gidget, Gidget, Gidget.
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: Outside, the ocean. Inside, you and me, and nothing else matters, hmm? Who was it that said, "Suspended in time and space," "your lips on mine, the soft contours of... "
- Francie Lawrence aka Gidget: I don't know.
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: I did. I just made it up.
- Francie Lawrence aka Gidget: Well, how about it?
- Burt Vail aka The Big Kahuna: How about what?
