Tell me again.

You missed me all winter
like crazy.

I'll tell you again.

I missed you the whole winter
like crazy.

Outside!

Gidge...

Would you, uh...

Would you wear my pin?

Oh, boy! Would I?

Good morning, honey.

Good morning, Mom!

Oh!

Morning, dear.

Francie...

Your mother and I have a
little surprise for you.

We're all going to, uh...

Hawaii.

Hawaii!

Are you kidding?

Oh, you wouldn't spring

a trip to Hawaii on me...

Of course we sprung it on you.

That's the whole idea.
It's a surprise.

A surprise!

Oh, some surprise.

I've been pinned to Jeff
for exactly two days,

and you expect me
to go callously off to Hawaii?

Well, certainly. Why not?

Wouldn't that make me
the kind of wife

who would want separate vacations?

Even twin beds?

Oh, I'm sorry,

but it's simply
out of the question.

Out of the question?

Yes. Any other time, I'd be...

Well, Jeff's only going
to be here two more weeks.

Now, if you had asked me, we could
have made the trip a later date.

I beg your pardon, your highness.

I didn't realize
we had to consult you.

I know you didn't,
and that's the whole trou...

I'm in no mood for a lecture.

Oh, well, if you'd
only listen to this one...

Mother, help.

Daddy, you think that,

because of an accident of birth,

that you can run my life.

Some accident.

Something happens to parents
when they have children.

They forget that their kids
are human beings.

You're out two minutes late.
Two minutes!

They're shattered.

After years and years

of proving that you can
be trusted,

leave room for one little doubt,
they're in hysterics.

They've got to know
where you were,

what you've been doing,

who you've been out with
every single second.

They've got to be

completely involved
in their kids' lives.

You ever see a kid
make that mistake?

You show me one kid
that'll go out of his way

to become involved
with his parents.

I've heard enough.

I'm glad.

I know it isn't easy for you

to change
your whole point of view.

That's good, because you're
gonna have to change yours!

Please, Father,
let's not have a fight.

Oh, we're not gonna have a fight.

We're gonna have a war!

After all my plans,

we, including you, young lady,

are going to Hawaii,
and that's final!

And we're going to have fun.

Accident of birth, indeed.

Honey, don't be hurt.

Who's hurt?

She'd rather be with him.

All you have to offer
is a trip to Hawaii.

And that's nothing.

They're giving trips away
this year.

Jeff is her world now,

at least at this stage
of the game.

I don't think we should
let her get so serious.

How are you going to stop it?

No surfboarding for a week?

She is growing up.

Amen.

She could stay

with my brother and his wife.

Of course, the only
trouble with that

is that you and I,

we'd have to make
the trip together...

alone.

Yeah, that'd be rough.

Murder.

I suppose we could
make the best of it.

You bet your life we could.

Darling, a second honeymoon,

just what I've always wanted.

That's exactly
what you're gonna get.

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Jeff!

Oh, Moondoggie!

Oh, Jeff, the most awful thing...

What's the matter?

They can't make me do it.

I want you to know that.

Do what?

Go to Hawaii.

My folks, they want
to take me away to Hawaii.

Hawaii! That's great!

Is that what you're crying about?

Great?

Everybody wants to go to Hawaii.

The surf down there
is sensational.

They have some waves 30-feet high.

But I'd have to leave
Saturday morning.

That's this Saturday morning.

So?

Well, what about
the rest of your vacation?

Oh, I'll still have it.

You mean you don't mind

my going away
and leaving you here?

No, I'll knock around
with the guys.

I'll find something to do.
Don't worry about me.

I won't.

Now what's the matter?

I thought our being together

was the most important thing
in the world.

Of course it is, Gidge,

but going to Hawaii
is a chance in a lifetime.

Well, what's this?

Hey, Gidget, wait a minute!

Hey, Gidget!

Hey, what gives?

Why'd she cut out like that?

Who knows what gives?

What was I supposed
to say, "don't go"?

Don't go where?

What am I supposed to do now,

Go running after her saying I'm sorry?
For what?

That's the trouble with women.

It isn't enough you being
in love with them,

they want you to
come right out and say so.

Of course I didn't want her to go.

Boy, women, you can have them.

Here, you can have that too.

Hey!

Does this mean we're going steady?

Dorothy? Dorothy?

Hi, honey.

Hi.

How did you make out?

Oh, canceling a reservation
is no problem.

It's trying to get them
that's tough.

Ahem.

Am I too much?

I couldn't resist it.

I bought it this afternoon.

Can we still afford the trip?

On sale.

Nice... but very nice.

The negligee's not bad, either.

Russ, I feel like a bride.

What do you feel like?

A martini.

Oh!

Really.

Hey, I'm gonna make you
a very happy girl.

You don't have to go to Hawaii.

But I want to go!

I want to go very much.

But you said...

That was this morning.

Since then...

Well, I've been... I've been
walking around for hours,

and I've made up my mind.

Now I want to go...

to forget.

Forget?

Forget what?

Oh, Mr. Horner,

I saw you on television
the other night.

You were marvelous.

Yeah, I was a smash, wasn't I?

Excuse me.

Cute, isn't he?

Who?

Eddie Horner, the dancer.

Don't you recognize him?

He's gonna play The Moana,

and according to the gossip...

columns...

Let's see now...

three of us and two of them.

Who's good at subtracting?
I am.

Good.
We'll subtract you.

Har-har-har.

All this and Eddie Horner too.

React, girl, react.

I'm not interested in men.

Oh? When'd
you break up?

How did you know?

Honey, that's what
"not interested in men" means.

Recently?

Only just the other...

All I have to do
is start crying again.

My folks'll go out of their minds.

Where are they?

In the lounge,
sitting with those weirdies.

Come on.

I'll take a picture
of the three of you.

I want to finish this roll.
Yeah, come on.

Oh, you don't want
a picture of us.

Sure we do.

Why would you want us?
You don't even know us.

We've got millions of pictures
home of people we don't know.

What do you know,

those weirdies are my weirdies.

Your folks?

My dad's Monty Stewart.

Monty Stewart's Restaurant
in New York?

Don't you know anybody?

Oh, sure.
I've heard of the restaurant.

Who hasn't?

My dad's a gasser.
So's my mother.

She used to be in show business.

She was next in line
to be a Copa girl.

Well, my mom
never was in anything,

I don't think,

except college.

Aw.

That's my Gidget,

the little one with the red hair.

Oh, and that's my Abby with her,

the one with the raven black.

Everybody comes to my place:

actors, sportswriters...
when were you in my joint?

It must have been a year ago.

It's quite a restaurant.

Well, the food's not so hot,
but outside of that,

it's the best eating place
in town.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

Do you know what I pay for beef?

Quite a lot, I imagine.

It's aged, isn't it?
Aged? Antique!

My name's Abby, Abby Stewart.

My name's Francie Lawrence,

but they call me Gidget.

At least that's what
he used to call me.

I used to call him Moondoggie.

"Moondoggie"?

No, Abby, there's some people
that only love once.

I'm afraid
I'm one of those people.

But, Gidget, it's like
when you fall off a horse.

You gotta get right back on,

or you may never ride again.

Right from the start,

the moment we met,
it was love at first sight.

Why don't you run along home, kid?

Boy, are you a grouch.

One look,

and we knew we were meant
for each other.

I went overboard.

Overboard?

Uh-huh. We both did.

Boy, this is great fun!

I'm glad you like it!

It was never kid stuff with us.

Even our song
was deep and meaningful.

I almost cried
when he first sang it to me.

# She acts sort of teen-aged #

# Just in-between-aged #

# Looks about four-foot-three #

# Although
She's just small fry #

# Just about so high #

# Gidget is the one for me ##

That was over a year ago.

Then, just before
he went back east to college,

we swore our undying love
for each other.

Then,
when he came back this summer,

he proposed.

Would you, uh...

Would you wear my pin?

Oh, boy! Would I!

Naturally, I said yes.

I got carried away.

I gave myself to him completely.

Completely!

Gee, I talk a good game, but...

but I never...

Well, it gives them
such an advantage, doesn't it?

What?

Men?

Yeah... men.

Oh, and I was so sure.

That's why it was such a shock

when I found out
that he didn't love me.

I was prepared
to make any sacrifice,

and he couldn't have cared less.

So I'm through with men.

Nice flight.

You say he's playing at The Moana?

If you'll excuse me, I...
I think I'll go join my folks.

Try unfastening your seat belt.

Gotta send that kid to camp.

I'm not running away.

That's what I like,

a doll who faces the inevitable.

May I join you?

Certainly.

Now, shall I talk about me

or should you talk about me?

I think it was wonderful

the way you became a star
overnight, practically.

Well, what's with
the "practically"?

Why, I'm three years
ahead of myself.

I expect to retire
by the time I'm 25.

Really?

Pay attention.

I ask questions later.

What about your friend...

Excuse me, sir.

It's not for me, it's for Mother.

"Hi, Mumsy."

Hi, Actor.

Wally Hodges, Larry Neal.

Judge Hamilton.

Eddie Horner and Abby Stewart.

And why "Judge"?

And why "Abby"?

Why does everybody
always ask me that?

I'd ask you fellas to join us,

but you see, I do a single.

I work alone.

Are, uh, you boys

going to Hawaii on vacation too?

Vacation?

Why, there's nothing ahead of us

but hard work, girl.

You see before you
three devoted men,

dedicated to books,
study, knowledge,

and women.

Uh, we're going to matriculate

at the University of Hawaii,

majoring in flora and fauna.

Care to join our curriculum?

The, uh, sex life
of the anti-social octopus...

And the sex life
of the cymbidium orchid.

And the sex life
of advanced hula appreciation.

Forget this hokey bit.
Everybody's a comedian.

No straight men left.

Excuse me, sir,
is that showbiz talk?

Isn't that clever?

Wouldn't you like to hear
some more of that clever?

Cool it with the needle smarts.

Yeah, just because
Eddie's a performer

is no reason
to treat him differently.

Absolutely right.

We should treat him like an equal.

Agreed.
Agreed.

Gee, I'm all choked up.

The kid ate the tickets,

and you're gonna give me trouble?

I heard it.

Honey, why don't you join
Abby and her friends, huh?

Oh, I'd only be a drag, Dad.

Do you want me to spoil their fun?

Oh, no, dear, we
wouldn't think of it.

You stay here and spoil ours.

Dorothy!

Oh.

Sorry, Mr. Lawrence,
but after all,

you did cancel the single room.

I know I did,

but I sent a telegram
and uncanceled.

There's no suite

with an adjoining
single available.

I could give you
a separate single.

I don't want a separate single.

I want what I...

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Let me handle this.

Now...

Has, uh...

he got what he wants,
or hasn't he?

He hasn't.

The single is only
a few doors down

from your suite, sir.

Well, honey,

as long as it's on the same floor,

what's the difference?

I know Gidget will be alone...

but so will we.

All right, we'll take it.

Come on.

I never heard of a room clerk
you couldn't grease.

What's he starting, a new trend?

What gives?

I guess Daddy doesn't
like the idea

of my being in a room by myself.

Locking the barn door, huh?

Huh?

Oh, you got to be kidding.

How to lose 10 pounds
in two minutes.

Get yourself a muumuu.

Oh, besides, now I can
eat all I want.

Here, get this bit.

A buck 85
for a corned beef sandwich,

and I only got a buck 80.

Here, cry a little.

Thank you, sir.

Well, at least you can
grease the waiters.

I was getting worried.

Oh!

Corned beef sandwiches in Hawaii?

If that isn't
the height of something.

What? A tuna fish
got more style?

Mom, I'm going to the beach now.

Can I have some money?

Oh... why does
she have to have money

to go swimming?

Swimming, in this?

Don't be ridiculous.

It's not waterproof.

Look.
"Dry-clean only."

Why don't you go play with
that nice little Lawrence girl?

Play?

Yeah, the whole family,
they're not like us.

They're normals.

Hang around with her.
Maybe some of it'll rub off.

You mean use her
as a good example?

What a droll idea.

What's "droll"?

I don't know.

Some kind of new slang expression.

Hey, I gotta call Dottie.

Dottie?

Who's Dottie?

Gidget's mother.

You can't wait, can you?

You gotta get thick right away.

Gradually,
you should get to know people.

Maybe we wouldn't know
the Lawrences so good,

but we'd know them longer, huh?

Novelty time?

You're so... droll.

Oh, yeah...

I'm dazzled.

There she is, folks.
Miss America.

Miss Universe.

Miss, um, Miss, uh...
there's nothing left.

Every time it gets to me,
there's always nothing left!

Oh, hi,
Mr. Lawrence.

Oh, hi.
Have you seen Gidget?

No. I was looking for her.

Abby, about tonight...

Abby's going with me tonight.

Oh, no she's not.

Hold it, Boy Scouts.

This little gem is all mine.

Aren't you, little gem?

You're wrong.

How can I choose between you?

But I know.

I'll take the coward's way out.

I'll go with all of you.

Won't that be nice?

All of us.
That's wonderful.

I won't even have
a chance to dance once.

Gidget?

Aren't you going in?

No, I couldn't, Daddy.

That's the same ocean
that Jeff and I used to swim in.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Honey, is it that bad?

Well, look, honey,
if you care that much,

I'd like to help.

What can I do?

There isn't anything
that anybody can do.

I feel all black
and hollow inside.

I can't even cry anymore.

Oh, Gidget,
being a father is murder.

Oh, I don't care
what anybody says,

I like Hawaii.

Thank you, darling, so much

for bringing us over here.

What's the matter?

Gidget.

She's sitting in the lobby,

reading a book.

I thought once she got over here...

Talk about a mother hen.

Oh, darling, it kills me

to see her this way too,

but she's got to live
her own life.

Outside of being sympathetic,

there's nothing we can do.

Yes, there is.
What?

Never mind.

Hey, haven't you heard
a word I've said?

Uh, yeah, yeah, you like Hawaii.

Uh, miss?

Like, man, you are
a million laughs.

Remind me to invite you
every summer,

especially when you're gonna
break up with your girl.

Girl has nothing to do with it.

I just don't feel like laughing
and hollering up a storm.

Do you mind?
No, not a bit.

I'm crazy about moping around.

Love to hear myself talk.

I can't wait to hear
what I'm gonna say next.

Oh, look, could I make
a recommend?

If you are that batty
about Gidget...

I'm not batty about Gidget.

That's over and done with.

Can't you get that
through your thick head?

Yeah, I can.
Can you?

Look, will you knock it off, Clay?

I don't even want
to hear her name anymore.

House of laughs.

What's your problem?

It's for you.

Western Union.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

Yes.

Yes, thank you very much.
Thank you.

Boy, I'll say I will.
The first plane I can get!

That was Gidget's father.

He wants me to come to Hawaii.

He says she is miserable!

Now, isn't that great?
She's miserable!

"I am not batty about Gidget.

That is all
done and past."

Knock it off!
I'm insane about her.

Totally, absolutely insane!

# It's gotta be love #

I'm just crazy about that kid.

Hi.

Hi.

Where've you been?

I've been looking
all over for you.

You still unpacking?

Say, that's darling.

Oh, thanks.

Could I borrow it sometime?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, what about tonight?

Oh, sure.

Oh, no, no. I mean you.

What are you gonna do?

Oh, I'll... read.

Maybe have dinner in my room.

You know, it's legal
to go out and have fun.

I can't.

Don't you get it?

I'm inviting you to be competition

with every jealous bone
in my body.

Thanks, but...

oh, go ahead, wear it tonight,
if you like.

Well, it'll be perfect
with my rose.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Hey, I've got some earrings
that'll look great on you.

Would you like to wear those?

Why not?

Just because you're going
out of circulation

is no reason
why the earrings should.

Thanks.

Who is it?

Me.

Hi, honey.

Hey! Wow.

Thank you.

How goes it?

Oh, terrible.
That's how it goes.

Boy, when I think

how much I wanted to be in love...

Well, I just can't
go on any longer.

Oh, Gidget.

No, I can't, Mom.

It's just not fair
to you and Daddy.

Me and Daddy?

Well, yes.
It's terribly unfair.

I know I'll never get over Jeff,

but that's my problem, not yours,

and that's no reason for me
to make you miserable too.

Why that's very thoughtful
of you, Francie.

Well, I just can't be
that selfish, that's all.

Who knows

when we'll get the chance
to come to Hawaii again.

Well, that is something
to consider.

So, for your sake,
for you and Daddy,

I'm going to stop holing up
like a sick cat.

Well, I'm awfully glad...
uh, grateful.

And I'm sure your father
will be too.

Oh, besides, I challenge anybody

to be torchy
in these surroundings.

Whoo!

Wasn't that something?

It was great!

Oh. A wire.

Now, who could be
sending me a wire?

What is it, dear?

Who's it from?

Well, isn't that nice?

That's awfully nice of them.

I didn't even see it!

Oh, it was from the hotel.

They hope we're enjoying
our stay here.

They certainly know

how to do things
right here, don't they?

They didn't send us a wire.

I'll send you one.

Ladies and gentlemen,

kamaainas and malihinis...

old-timers and newcomers...

the young ladies
have a message for you,

and for the malihinis,
I will translate.

They say,

"Welcome to The Tiki Room...

and to Hawaii,
the 50th state of the Union."

They wish you
much happiness and joy.

I see we have a special guest
in the audience tonight.

That bright new dancing star,

who opens in The Moana Room
this Friday evening,

Eddie Horner.

Thanks for the plug.

I'll return the favor
opening night.

Too bad nobody's
ever heard of you, Actor.

Yeah, ain't it a shame?

Ain't it?

And now let's everybody dance,
drink, and be happy.

Abby, how about a dance?

How about a cha-cha?

It's my turn, man.

Whoa, whoa. Hey.
Even I can't be this selfish.

There must be
some unattached females around.

That Abby's all heart. Mm!

Look what she picked out
for you boys.

Sorry, we don't
have anybody for you, Actor.

This boy's a dreamer, isn't he?

So come on, join us.

Only remember,
Eddie Horner is mine.

Do you think we should?

I think we'd be

out of our ever-loving minds
if we didn't.

Is it Dutch, or are they paying?

They're paying.

Are any of them over 5'7"?

Gentlemen, we're saved
by the bell.

I should say two belles.

Barbara Jo Wells
and Dee Dee Waters.

This is Wally, Larry,
Judge and Eddie.

And he's yours.

Well, what about your friend?

Couldn't she join us too?

Just to lessen your burden?

Gidget?

Oh, I wish she would.

She's such a darling.

You know, we only met on the plane,
and like that,

we were best friends for life.

So use your influence,
"best friend."

Well, I did, I begged her,

but she's simply not interested

in men, parties, clothes or fun.

Believe me, a pack of wild horses

couldn't drag her here.

Something did.

Oh, is that your best friend?

She's darling.

Which one belongs to her?

I guess she changed her mind, huh?

Something must...
But whatever,

I'm... I'm certainly glad.

Well, I am!

What is that?

That, dear heart,

is your daughter
making the supreme sacrifice.

Hmm?

Hi, everybody.

Hi!

Mind if I join you?
We'd be delighted.

Eddie Horner, remember?

Of course I do.

I'm also delighted,
Judge Hamilton.

Wally Hodges.
I saw you on the plane.

I'm Larry Neal.
How are you?

My name's Francie Lawrence,
but everybody calls me Gidget.

Okay, Gidget.
Why don't you sit...?

Don't sit anywhere.
Let's dance.

But I could help you with your...

Excuse me.
Yeah, certainly.

Hello.

It looks like
you're stuck with me.

Some girls get all the luck.

What happened?

My irresistible charms
finally get through to you?

Uh-uh. Hawaii.

I can see it in your eyes.

Crazy about me
from the moment we met.

How did you guess?

Mambo!

She doesn't have to sacrifice

this much, does she?

Oh...

You get my message?

Oh, clear as a bell.

Whoo!

Hey, how about that?

How about what?

Just wanted to return these, doll.

Can't thank you enough.

Oh, you're welcome.

Anytime.
Anytime at all.

Oh, I don't know
when I've had such fun,

and just a few hours ago,

I thought it was
the end of the world.

I'm so glad you took my advice.

So am I.
I can't tell you.

You sure made a quick recovery.

Didn't I though?
Like that!

Yes, sir, boy.

The operation was
a complete success.

The doctor died.

Huh?

It's just a little joke,
sweetie, on me.

Here I thought

you didn't know how to operate,

and you moved in

like every other place
in town was closed.

Operate? But you invited me.

But you forgot to mention that

in front of all the guys.

Why I wouldn't be a bit surprised
if they didn't think

I was an out-and-out jealous liar.

They couldn't.

Oh, Abby, I'm sorry.
What can I do?

Well, for a starter,

you can stop saying one thing

and doing another.

Oh, I will, I will.

I only did it for my folks.

Well, I hope they enjoyed it

as much as you did.

Well, they were
very worried about me.

All I knew was that I had
to forget about... him.

Put everything,

put it all out of my mind.

But it won't happen again.

Next time, I'll warn you.

Oh, that'll be nice.

Then we won't get
our signals crossed.

What do you do besides dance?

Uh, nothing, honestly,
not a thing.

"Nothing, honestly,
not a thing."

Goodness!

How in the world
did she learn to do that?

Come on, get in the act.

Isn't she great?

Yeah, great.

Hey, let's give it a go, huh?

Alrighty.

I gotta try this bit too.

Hey, Actor, you'd better let

one of us boys check you out.

That soup out there'll knock you around
like you were in a washing machine.

Don't worry.
Gidget'll teach me.

"Gidget'll teach me."

Yahoo!

Hi.

I see you're not
the athletic type either.

Uh-uh. But I sure
would like to learn

how to do that.

Me too.

But first, shouldn't we learn

how to swim?

Hey, you want to learn to surf?

Right here, boy.

No, thanks.

Watch out.

Hey, I'll teach him how to surf.

Come on, buddy.

This is the place, right here.

All right, fellas.

Come on, Gidge...

let's get out of
this low-rent district.

You wouldn't catch me
on one of those things

for all the money
and all the men in the world.

That's suicide...
the hard, wet way.

No!

Hey, this is a breeze!

Get down, Eddie!
Watch this.

No!
Oh!

Hey!

You and the Pacific,
that's quite a combination.

Well, at least,
you stick to one ocean.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought
you were somebody I knew.

Well, that's a rotten
sense of timing for you.

Yeah.

Yeah, real rotten.

That's all right, Gidget.

I can remember where we left off.

Stop it!

I'm sorry,
but there are two things

that I can't stand...

being manhandled...
and surprised.

Oh, and they say
that women are unpredictable.

What's unpredictable?

You let me kiss you
only a second ago.

Well, sure,
but that was your idea.

I'd have never thought of it.

And in the future,
please wait until I do.

Jeff!

Jeff, wait!

Well?

Well, don't you think
an explanation is called for?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.

So do I.

Well, go ahead.

Me?!

Well, certainly.

You're the one

who flew over here unannounced.

I flew over here to try
to straighten things out

on account of I got a blind spot.

I didn't recognize the brush

when I got it.

When you got it?

Who didn't care if I went away?

Who thought a trip to Hawaii
was the chance of a lifetime?

Me, and I still do,

and I intend to take
full advantage of it.

So go back to playing,
uh, "kiss in the ocean,"

or whatever that was.

I'll get a game of my own going.

What?

"Rots of ruck."

Would you like some punge?

I'd love some.

There you are.

Thank you.

As Confucius say,

"If you think this is tough,

wait'll you try
to eat with a fork."

Oh, come on now,

even I don't think I'm that funny.

Well, personally,

it affected me the same way.

I'm waterlogged.

Waterlogged?
She's waterlogged.

If you really want
to get waterlogged,

you ought to go water-skiing.

And I hear it's the living end.

You ought to see
some of the islanders do it.

Hey, what's bothering you, Gidge?

If it's this afternoon, I...

I wasn't making a pass.

Well, I was making a pass,

but it's...
it's not like you think.

I'm tired, I guess.
That's all.

Anyway, if you've got the nerve,

you take off this ramp
at a zillion miles an hour,

then you float through the air
for about 5,000 feet,

and then... plop!
Back in the water, in 80 pieces.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I bet Gidget would do it,
wouldn't you, Gidge?

Uh-uh.
I don't think so.

It sounds kind of dangerous

and foolish.

Hey, there's Abby!

Hey, well, who's her date?

Isn't that the guy this afternoon?

Hi, everybody.

This is Jeff Matthews.

Hi!

Hi there!

I see you found the girl
you were looking for.

Yep, no time at all.

That's nice.

Jeff...

This is Larry, Barbara Jo,
Dee Dee, Judge, Wally,

Eddie Horner and Gidget.

Midget?

Gidget.

Oh, I'm glad you came along.

We needed another fellow
like a hole in the head.

Yeah, hole in the head.

Come on, sit down.

I'm all mixed up.
Is he hers now?

New audience.

Shall I try my chopstick joke

on them too?

Oh, no.

What you ought to do

is learn how to use them.

You hold them all wrong.

Like this...

Hmm.

No, silly, you've got it
all wrong. Look...

Few more
and I'll have an Erector Set.

Hey, why didn't you show me
like this before?

Oh.

There.

Now do you think
you have the idea...

honey?

Yeah, I get the idea,

but I wonder if it's
the same as yours?

Oh, you!

Say, teach,

I don't think I have
the... the knack of it.

Uh, could you show me the grip?

I flunked chopsticks.

I'm also quite nearsighted.

Oh, that's why you have such
long, beautiful eyelashes.

Would you teach me
sometime too, Gidget?

You know, it must be fun
to be so uninhibited,

but me, I'm just...

You? No.

No, you're just fine
the way you are.

There's Gidget.

Oh! There's Abby.

See Abby, honey?

What is Jeff doing here?

Who knows?

Uh, crazy kids,

they show up anywhere.

Russ, did you...?

Doesn't my baby find
the darlingest boys?

Adorable.

Of all things!

There's a guy at the bar I know.

Don't you dare.
Don't get involved.

You don't know him.
I met him in Uncasville.

I've got to say hello.
Russ!

Uh, Monty, thank you.

Psst!

Oh! Oh... Not her.

That fellow over there.

That's my...
my daughter's boyfriend.

Oh...

Mr. Lawrence.

What's the idea?

I sent for you

to be with Gidget, not Abby.

I know, but...

Is that any way to treat
a heartbroken girl?

A guy doesn't do a thing like that,
especially to another guy's daughter.

You should have checked with Gidget
before you sent for me, sir.

Bad move.

Oh?

I know you had

all the best intentions, sir,

but you forget, you're her father.

You have no objectivity.

No objectivity?

Sir, I don't mean
to be presumptuous,

but if you let me,

I could give you
a good piece of advice.

Oh, by all means.
Be my guest.

Don't get involved.
It doesn't pay.

Don't...

Don't get involved.

Oh.

Have you got any children?

Yes.

Do you surf, Abby?

Uh-uh.

Well, how about
if I teach you tomorrow?

You know, surfing
really isn't as hard

as most people make it out to be.

It's just a matter of balance.

That's right, it is rather tame.

30-foot waves, tame.

Sure.

Why don't we all go on a tour

of the pineapple factory?

Now, there's a bad idea.

We could take a drive, maybe,

or... Anyone
for volcanoes?

I've got it.

The water-ski jump.

Right, Judge?

Look who's tired of living.

Well, we're looking for something

that isn't tame, aren't we?

At least I am.

# It's not the same #

# Down by the sea #

# Since the Gidget came #

# To Waikiki #

# You'll hear the native boys
All sigh and wait #

# Down on Maunalua Bay #

# 'Cause when the Gidget

All the way #

Yes.

All the way.

And nothing less.

Lots of luck.

Aw, come on,
let's all go take a swim.

That's a marvelous idea.

Come on.

Well, let's get going.

Hey, right here.
Here you go.

Whoo-whoo!

Well, I'm ready.

Get this hokey bit.

You're not going to back out,
are you?

I'd look pretty silly

dancing on one leg,
now, wouldn't I?

I don't think you should.

I don't think anybody should.

Oh, come on.
Wally, Larry, Judge?

Oh, you think I'm some kind
of a nut or something?

I'll phone it over.

You're not going to,
are you, Jeff?

Do I look like

I've lost my marbles too?

Your marbles or your nerve?

Boy, last night,

everyone was complaining
about things being tame.

Now you're all afraid.

Yeah, lucky for you.

You might have had
to make the jump.

Come on, Gidget.
You got your laugh.

Bombs away!

Hey, she'll kill herself!

Hey, come on back, Gidge!

Gidget, be careful!

Ouch!

Let's go! Let's go!

I'll get the stern line.

Go on, Jeff,
you're clear, you're clear.

Go! Go, go, go!

Are you all right?

Yes, Jeff, I'm all right.

You don't deserve to be.

Good grief, Charlie Brown!

That's as high as Diamond Head.

You're a nut.

Thanks, Judge.

You're quite a guy yourself.

Mean that?

Well, what do you say

we go to The Moana tonight
and see Eddie?

You mean that?
Sure.

I'd love to, Judge.

I'd absolutely love to.

Why can't we do something
on dry land for a change?

Uh, tell me the truth, Ab.

Are you really allergic to water?

She can't help it

if she's scared to death of it.

Big mouth.

Scared of the water!

Why that's like being
scared to breathe.

Oh, fine.

Now she's working on Jeff.

All right, how long do we
go on playing this game?

When are you gonna grow up?

Don't you talk to me like that.

I'll talk to you any way I want.

You're behaving like an idiot.

And don't give me
that look, either.

Gidget, I'm warning you,

I'm tired of this act
you're putting on.

You'd better start behaving yourself,
or else.

Or else what?

You know what "or else."

You've had your fun.
The joke is over.

The master has spoken?

Yeah, that's right,
if you want to put it that way.

Well, the master has taken

a little bit too much for granted.

How I act, how I behave,

and how I look
is no concern of yours.

I'm serious, Gidget.

I'm serious too.

Why, I wouldn't take
this sort of thing

from anybody.

Except a husband.

I guess I was jumping the gun.

I'm sorry.

Okay, so she can swim better,

and surf better.

I'll bet, if she tried,

she could even

drown better than anyone else.

How can we get her to try?

Is there anything she can't do?

No.

And there's nothing
she hasn't done, either.

I sure would like
to fix her wagon.

And I could if I wanted to.

No. Even I couldn't do that.

Well, so I'll force myself.

Now, does she or doesn't she?

She did... so she does.

She does?

Are you sure?

How can anyone know

if it's true or not for sure?

Nobody could know,
except Gidget...

and all the fellows.

I have noticed the way
she seems to flaunt herself.

The way the gossip goes,
Eddie was the first...

of all the boys here.

Here?

But you know
how people are in show business.

Hey! I was in show business.

But weren't you an exception?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
I was a big exception.

But she told me herself

that Eddie wasn't the very first.

Oh, well, I suppose
it's like taking dope...

once you start, you...

Just where did you get that idea?

Anyway, please don't
mention it to anyone.

Whatever you do,

don't mention it to her mother.

Her moth...

Oh, poor Dorothy!

See you later, hmm?

At the luau?

Sure, honey, you run along.

Mrs. Lawrence, please.
Suite 270.

Where did you hear this, Mitzi?

Oh, I wouldn't dream

of revealing my source, but I...

I have a good idea.

Someone around 17,

with black hair
and very green eyes.

Abby has brown eyes.

And she would no more dream

of spreading gossip
like this than I would.

I thought you and Abby
were finding Gidget's popularity

a little hard to swallow,

but I didn't dream

you'd think of a method
like this to fight it.

Once a chorus girl, always a ch...

or was it a Floradora girl?

Okay.

Forgive me for trying
to do you a favor.

Operator, I think Mr. Lawrence
is in the barber shop.

Would you call him, please?

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it either.

But how do we know, for sure?

Russ!

Well, who knows
what their kids do today?

She's been very different

ever since we got here.

And she's acting so strangely

with Jeff too.

You should never have sent for him

in the first place.

Well, let's not
go over that again, hmm?

I'll... I'll have
a talk with Gidget.

You? Oh, no!

I'll handle it.
I'm her mother.

Well, what am I all of a sudden,
a second cousin?

You know you can't
discuss things calmly.

Look at you.
You start to yell!

Now, Russ, this is
a very delicate situation.

It must be presented
to Gidget just right.

And I can't handle it?

Well, I'm very glad to know that.

I'm very happy to know
your true opinion of me

after almost 20 years of marriage.

Hey, what gives?

You having a fight too?

Go on.

Handle it.

Gidget, let's sit down over here.

Now, darling, there's...
there's been some talk.

About what?

About you.

Oh, that's nice and delicate.
Fine, fine.

You aren't under the impression
that you're helping, are you?

Certainly not.

Hey!

The thing is, dear, if there's...

if there's any basis
for this talk,

if you've had a...
unfortunate experience,

we'll try to understand.

Do you mean what I think you mean?

Yes!

Now let's get it out into the open.
Russ!

You see, dear, a mistake like that

could just...

well, the thing is,
if you do it once,

you might make
the mistake of thinking

it doesn't matter anymore
how many times you...

Well, you must admit,

you haven't been
behaving like yourself.

And people figure

where there's smoke, there's fire.

Do you?

Do I what?

Never mind.

Now wait a minute, young lady,

we're not through.

There's more?

Well, you haven't said anything.

Obviously I don't need to.

Oh, Gidget!

Oh!

Oh, if you'd only let me
handle it.

Yeah, you were
handling it great, just great.

You made it sound as
if we'd believed it.

I did?

I told you I didn't believe it.

I told you I didn't believe it!

Yeah, but you wouldn't let me
get a word in edgewise.

You kept talking
about "mistakes" instead of...

Well, never mind the instead-ofs.

Now that you've ruined everything,
what are we going to do?

Do whatever you like.

I'd like to ask a simple question.

Why?

That's simple, isn't it?

Why?
Why?

Why do you got to butt-in

where you got
no business butting in?

I warned you not to get thick.

I was only trying
to do Dorothy a favor.

When I think of the way
she turned on me...

You're lucky
she didn't belt you one.

Are you taking
her side against mine?

Yeah, and if you had any class,

you'd march right over there
and apologize.

After that crack she made
about a Floradora girl?

I should say not.

Oh, it figures.

What?

I said if you had any class.

Well, thank you,
Mr. Stewart.

Thank you very, very much.

You're welcome,
Mrs. Stewart.

And we can start
with your apology,

when you're ready to make it.

Mrs. Lawrence, please.

Room 270.

Hello.

Dorothy told you.

Dorothy told me.

So you're sore at me too?

Yeah, I'm sore too.

Why can't I make
anybody understand?

I was just trying to do a favor.

Well, if it's any comfort to you,

Monty and I had a beef about it.

Look...

there's nothing you can say
that could possibly

come under the heading of comfort.

So why don't you...

Sit down and have a drink.

Oh, sit down.

Miss World's-Champion-

Number-One- Louse-Everything-Up,

that's me.

Mm-mm.

Not the champ.

Oh, you certainly are a contender

for the title.

So, uh, you and Monty
had a little beef, huh?

Well, by some odd coincidence,

so did Dorothy and I.

Oh...

That's something else
to add to the score.

Say, maybe you are
the world's champ.

I'll take that drink.

Mitzi's this kind of girl:
She acts first and thinks later.

Why else do you think
she married me?

Oh, Monty.

Oh, well, maybe you're right.

We've all made
too big a thing of this.

I said some pretty awful
things myself.

Well, she's still burnt
about the Floradora crack.

She's sensitive about her age,

but only
because she lies about it.

She's a lucky girl.

You're a nice man.

Aw, come on,

let's everybody kiss and make up.

Let's go find Mitzi.

We'll get the kids,
and the four of us

will straighten this out
in no time.

Where's Russ?

Oh, when he left here, he had that

where's-the-nearest-bar look
on his face.

"Where's the nearest bar" look?

Right downstairs.

Go ahead, call him.

Well, I've made my peace with you,

now I ought to make peace

with your wife and Gidget.

And then I ought to give Abby

a hit on the head.

Sound fair?
Very fair.

To the house phones.
Lead on.

And I think I ought
to make up with Monty.

I think I have class.

I'd say so.

And I think I can handle
a delicate situation.

Mr. Rawrence?

Mr. Rawrence?

Telephone call
for Mr. Rawrence.

Not here.

Thank you.

He's not there.

We'll go looking
for him and Mitzi.

We'll have a drink along the way,

all right?

Couldn't hurt.
Couldn't hurt.

No answer.

No answer here either.

Now what?

Well, now let's have
another drink.

Okay.

Uh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That bar is getting
a little blurry.

Let's go some place
that's more in focus.

Hi, Mr. Stewart.

Hi, kid.

You're a pretty good hoofer.

Here, try this one...

Thanks, Mr. Stewart.

Oh, you didn't know
I could dance like that?

I gave it up when I went
in the meat business.

Your plane leaves
at midnight, sir.

They'd like you at the airport

an hour early.

Okay, thank you.

Are you leaving?

Yeah, you have any objections?

No, I'll help you pack.

Would you take the rest
of the guys with you?

You like a clear field, don't you?

I like to work alone,

even when I'm not too sure

of my audience.

How do you figure her?

Who?

Gidget.

I'll be very honest with you.

I don't figure her at all.
Not at all.

Gidge?

I got to talk to you for a minute.

Not now, Eddie.
Can it wait?

All right.

I don't know how to play this bit.

What am I? The lead?

The comic relief? The stand-in?

Hey...

I was...

I wasn't listening.

What did you say?

I'll give you the punch line.

I think I'm in love with you.

Oh, no, Eddie.

Whatever you do,
don't fall in love.

You don't know
how awful it can be.

You behave like an idiot,

you do all sorts of things
that you never should do...

and you're miserable,
absolutely miserable,

all the time.

You're too nice a guy.

I'd hate to see that
happen to you.

Too late.

Well, even if I tried to love you,

I couldn't right now.

I'm going to be too busy

trying to get used to the fact
that I'm a... fallen woman.

What?

According to my folks,
I'm being gossiped about.

You?

They're pretty upset about it.

So am I.

Well, do I look like
the kind of a girl

who would have a...
an "unfortunate experience"?

Of course not.

Well, even if I had,
would I go on having them?

That's just plain stupid.

And that's what I resent the most,

that my parents think

I could be that stupid.

Not you, Gidget.

Not in a million years.

Here I am, worrying about me,
while you...

Oh, I'm sorry, Eddie.

Don't be.

At least now I know

the kind of girl I'm looking for.

Thank you, Eddie.

You're coming
to the luau, aren't you?

No, I... I couldn't face the kids.

I'd be wondering if they'd heard.

I'll just take a walk
or something.

And people figure

where there's smoke, there's fire.

The thing is, dear,

if there's... if there's any basis

for this talk...

Put it back on!

Put it back on!

Put it back on!

- Put it back on!
- Put it back on!

Do I look like the kind of a girl

who'd had a...
an "unfortunate experience"?

Oh, please, Father, please.

I've come home.
Take me in, I beg you.

Certainly.
Come on in, Gidget.

How's the baby?

But that's not the way
it's supposed to go.

I can't even be
a good fallen woman.

She finally made it, huh?

What?

The spotlight.

Could there be any connection?

Gidget's not here
and Abby's full of joy.

Interesting thought
to pursue, huh?

You were wonderful!

Just like a native.

Like a pro.

That's what I call
a real shake in the grass.

Isn't this fun?

Everything you could ask for.

Only, you notice?

One of our ships is missing.

What?

Gidget.

Oh? Oh, yeah.

Terrible, isn't it?

What's terrible?

Well, I thought you knew.

I thought everybody...
Forget I said anything.

Oh, wait a minute.
Not after that teaser.

Come on, what gives?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I don't know how the story

got started in the first place.

All I know is...

Well, it isn't true about Gidget.

She isn't... Oh, what's the word?

Easy.

And she certainly hasn't
had a lot of affairs.

Gidget?

Well, that's what they say.

Well, I happen to know
it's a bald-faced lie.

She's only had one.

And I imagine the talk
got back to her parents somehow.

Oh, I bet she got it good.

Maybe solitary confinement.

Well, what makes you so sure
she had one?

She told me so, on the plane.

On the plane?
Uh-huh.

Her excuse was
she got "carried away,"

but how in the world
anybody could get carried away

by a guy named Moondoggie,
I'll never know.

Moondoggie!

I had exactly the same reaction.

But why would she tell you
something like that?

I don't think she meant to tell me

as much as she did,
but she was so torchy.

You know, real
end-of-the-world stuff.

I sure wish we could help her.

You're a real sweet kid, Ab.

Any other girl wouldn't be
so generous, you know.

But you, you're all heart.

Well, I figure people
can't help being what they are.

For example, I... I couldn't be,

well, like Gidget,
if my life depended on it.

Oh, that's for sure.

No...

you and Gidget are as different
as night and day.

Abby, you're you,

and I'd bet my father's last dime

that there's nobody,
but nobody, like you.

Do you mean that?

Oh, I think you're wonderful.

Oh, I think you are too, doll.

Incidentally, don't call me Jeff.

Why don't you call me
what the people at home do?

All right.

Moondoggie.

Moondoggie?

Oh, Moondoggie!

There's no point
in crying about it, Gidge.

I think the best thing to do
is explain to your folks.

Oh, it was awful, Jeff.

How could they believe
such a thing about me?

Maybe they were
a little upset too.

Why did Abby have to tell you
that I'd had an affair with you?

If I had,

you'd be the last person
I'd want to know.

Oh, Gidget.

Let's go find your folks.

And after that,

I think I ought to have
a quiet little talk with Abby.

Yeah, I think so.

Kids today.

You can't tell them anything.

They know everything.

I'll admit my mother was stupid,

but not as stupid
as Abby thinks I am.

You know, I'm hungry.

Yeah, me too.

You like Hawaiian food?

Crazy.

How about some pizza?

Pizza?
Yeah.

Pineapple pizza.

Ech.

Come on, let's go.

Say, where's the best place
to get pineapple pizza?

San Francisco.

Well, let's go.

To San Francisco?

Unless we find
some place along the way.

Aloha.

I still say that they should have
had faith in me.

They should have known
that I wouldn't...

Aloha.

Oh, there's Dad!

The Moana Room, please.

That's funny.

I wonder where my mother is?

I don't know.
The hotel?

I suppose.

Well, what was I saying before?

Something about how your folks

should have had faith in you.

Yeah.

How could they have
doubted me for a second?

Very funny.

Neither Russ nor Mitzi
are at the hotel.

Oh.

Well, Russ should be
through sulking by now.

Maybe I ought to go back
in case Russ or... or Gidget...

Don't you think?

The kids ain't back yet either.

I checked.

Now, look, we've been to two bars.

Let's try The Moana.

Oh! I hate to see
anything go to waste.

Thank you.

Mother's not upstairs.

Isn't that funny?

Maybe she went out to eat.

It's pretty late.

Alone?

Mr. Matsu,
I'm looking for my mother.

Did she leave a message?

No, they left.

"They"?

Your mother
and Mr. Stewart.

Oh, no.
That was my father and Mrs...

Well, your father and Mrs. Stewart
left the hotel that way,

just as your mother and
Mr. Stewart went that way.

Oh, Mr. Matsu, would you cancel
my plane reservation, please?

I won't be leaving after all.

Mom's with Mr. Stewart.

Now don't you think it's funny?

No, I don't think
it's funny at all.

I wonder if Mom knows
that Dad's with M...

And Dad knows that Mom's with...

I'd better wait for them
in their suite.

I'm sure I'd better.

May I have the key
to their room, please?

Two-seventy.

It's all yours.

See you tomorrow.

Okay, I'll see you in the morning.

Oh, no, come up with me.

How is that gonna look?

What will people think?

No point in worrying
about my reputation now.

I've got the name and I've
never played the game.

I don't even know
exactly how you play it.

Do you?

I pass.

And you have my every apology,

and I am going to see to it

that you have Abby's
every apology as well.

How's that for class?

And you're not sulking anymore?

Oh, no, no, no.

I stopped sulking
exactly 27 minutes ago.

What did I tell you?
To the second.

Aloha, darling.

Aloha.

Well, that calls for a toast.

Let's try the kids.

Oh, yes, let's.

Rum is wonderful.

You can drink gallons of it
and nothing happens.

Oh...

It's the ice you got to watch.

Aloha.

Aloha!

Oh, I'm sure
there's some explanation.

There has to be.

They've never gone out

with anybody else but each other

as long as I've known them.

Gidget, will you stop
imagining things?

Oh, I can't.

Okay, then I'll help you.

Now, what's the worst thing
that could happen?

You and Abby could end up sisters.

Oh, there's a horrible thought!

Oh, why doesn't one of them call?

I'll talk to you
in the morning, Abby.

You're not in the clear yet,

you little trouble-maker.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself.

Now, signal for the operator.

I guess we got
that straightened out.

Miss Frances Lawrence, please.

Room 251.

I'm sorry, ma'am,
that room doesn't answer.

Would you care to leave a message?

Something the matter?

Oh, no.

No, nothing's the matter.

Uh, hello, dear, it's Mother.

Who is this?

Oh, no, dear.

Um, did I wake you up?

Uh-uh, I was awake.

Well, uh, I just
wanted you to know

that it was all a big mistake,

uh, and to make sure
you were all right.

I'm fine, except for a stiff neck.

Well, go back to bed, sweetheart.

Okay, doll.

Good night, honey.

Somebody loves me.

Isn't that funny?

They were both asleep.

Very funny.

Look, honey,
she must be in her room.

Now, don't jump down her throat.

You give her a chance to explain.

I will.
When she comes in.

There's her key.

Two-fifty-one, please.

Maybe Mother thinks
that Dad's here.

Maybe Dad thinks
that Mother's here.

Gidget, I think we should

let them work out
their own problems,

if they have any.

If they have any?!

Don't you know
that middle-aged people

can become insecure
and uncertain overnight

just because all of a sudden

everybody's younger than they are?

Gidget?

Any questions?

What do we do now?

We wait.

She knows she's supposed to be

in by 12:00,
1 at the latest.

It's a quarter of 2.
A quarter of 2!

Well, maybe we ought to check

with the other kids.

One of them might know
where she went.

All right. Who?

Jeff. Oh, no, that's no good.

They're barely speaking
to each other.

Uh, which one is she with tonight?

Who knows? And that's
a nice state of affairs.

Eddie. Start
with Eddie Horner.

Yeah. Hello.
Give me The Moana, please.

Hello?

Hello?

Who?

Oh, how are you, Mr. Lawrence?

Oh, no, I wasn't asleep.

No, you didn't wake me.

I was, uh... I was, uh...

I forget.

Is that so?

Well, no, sir.

I... I don't know where she is.

You're where?

In Gidget's room?

Well, now, don't worry, sir.

I'm sure that there's nothing
to worry about.

Yes. Yes, sir.

Who says there's nothing
to worry about?

Uh, would you get me Kakanie Hall

at the university, please?

No.

I didn't see her all night.

Well, Wally and Larry
didn't either.

I know, I was with them.

Oh, "Don't worry"!

Don't worry?
Well, who's worrying?

What's to worry about?

I'll meet you there.

Oh!

Hello?

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, well, are you sure
there's nothing to worry about?

Okay.

Hey!

Gidget's missing!

Huh?

Gidget's missing!

Missing what?

Oh! All right, Judge.

I will.

No, I haven't seen her
since this afternoon.

All right.

Hey, what's going on here,

in the middle of the night?

That was Barbara Jo,

and she said that...

And now they're out
looking for her,

and it's all my fault.

There must be something we can do.

Isn't there anybody else
we can call?

We've called everybody, sir.

We checked all the places

she could have gone to.

Most of them are closed.

And she wasn't on the beach.

Or in the water.

I meant swim... I meant swimming...

Swimming, sir.

Mr. Lawrence,
if I were you, I...

I would never let
that... that thought

enter my mind, sir.

Thanks. It hadn't,
until you mentioned it.

That's all right.

There she is.

Well, would she knock
at her own d...

Oh, we were afraid
you might be worried.

Just as worried as we are.

Well, thank you, dear.

You wear that stuff every night?

What'd you say?

You look like you're
wired for sound.

Gidget didn't come to the luau.

I saw her before that.
Come again?

We'd better get a posse going.

We ought to do something.
Any bright ideas?

I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

Would everybody mind speaking up?

Oh, for heaven sakes,

you've still got your earplugs on!

I told you she was a mental case.

Now don't panic.

Whatever you do, don't panic.

You've heard something?

No, I mean, when you do.

Brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.

Where's the other kid?
Abby's boyfriend?

Jeff. Do you suppose
she's with him?

Well, couldn't be.
He left on the midnight plane.

Yeah, anyway, they can't
stand each other.

And, sure, they had

some sort of a fight
this afternoon.

Yeah, on the catamaran.

Hey, didn't Gidget have
a rhubarb with you too?

My, she certainly had enough

to be upset about, didn't she?

Now don't blame yourself,
Mr. Lawrence.

Oh, sure,
even if it was your fault,

you don't want to live with that
for the rest of your life.

The boy is right.

If you find her in time,

you can always
have her stomach pumped.

I've had mine pumped twice.

The second time's a breeze.

Hey, you stop that,
right this minute.

Gidget has not committed suicide,

for heaven's sake.

An accident, maybe.
Suicide, never.

An accident?

Oh, Russ, suppose
she's had an accident?

Accident!

Maybe that's
what happened to them.

Gidget...

Take it easy.

Oh, please, I don't care
what they've done,

just let them come home safe.

Oh, I could murder them.

Maybe we ought to call
the police or the hospitals?

It's 4:30.

Oh, not yet.

You getting a migraine,
Mrs. Lawrence?

That's what my mother does

whenever anything goes wrong.

It isn't a migraine, Dee Dee.

It's just a plain, simple,
ordinary horrible headache!

Honey, honey, I'll get your pills.

Give me your key.

I left mine at the desk.

Here.

And take it easy, honey.

So now that's the plan.
You got it straight?

Do you know why I love you?

I only know why I love you.

'Cause you fracture me.

Is that good or bad?

That's very good.

More.

All those words you want to hear

that are so tough for me to say...

are all inside me,
but they're there.

I know.

Gidget!

Where, may I ask, have you been?

Where have I been?

What was that?

That was personal.

Now will you please
keep your voice down?

Now wait a minute.

I don't believe there's any need

for discussion.

The less said about
this whole business the better.

What business?

Now, I'm sure
it was perfectly harmless.

However,
it could hardly be called...

Cricket.

Thank you. Cricket.

Nevertheless,
we'll keep it between us.

Mother need never know.

Never know what?

Shh! You'll wake her up.

Who?

Mother!

Where is she?

In bed. Where else?

But don't worry.

We fixed it
so that your bed looks slept in,

and tomorrow, you can tell her

that she was asleep
when you got in,

and when you got up.

You got up early for some reason.

Well, why don't I go to bed now?

Oh, because if she wakes up,

she might start asking questions,

and you don't want her
to do that, do you?

Oh, no, no. I guess not.

You go with Jeff.

Sleep in his room tonight.

An excellent idea.

Oh, I really
appreciate this, Gidget.

You too, Jeff.

Glad to help, sir.

Oh, look, Daddy...
It's a modern world.

There's nothing wrong
with having a few drinks

and some pleasant conversation
with someone other than Mother,

provided that's all it was.

That was all it was, wasn't it?

All right, you go on now,
she might come in...

I mean, wake up, any minute.

Okay.

Shall we, Jeff?

Oh, and, Daddy,

call a person
when you're going to be late.

You don't know how awful it is
to sit up and wait and worry.

I have an idea.

Oh, thanks, Jeff.

Oh, come on, Mom,
the coast is clear.

Oh!

There, dear.
Does that help?

Thank you.

Why doesn't she stop crying?

How should I know?

Maybe her tear ducts
are out of control.

Hey, Jeff!

I thought you'd left?

Where's Gidget?

We, uh, we share
and share alike, don't we?

Yes.

Well, go get your half
of what I got.

What? What?

Puzzles yet.

Go on. Go on.

Are you through
looking for Gidget,

Mr. Lawrence?

Just go to our room.

Go on.

Gather around.

Look...

Gidget! Oh, Gidget!

Shh!

Don't wake Daddy!

Daddy!

Oh, if he had any idea

that you'd come in this late,

that you'd been out
with Mr. Stewart!

But don't worry.

I fixed it so that
your bed looks slept in.

Now, the main thing
is to get out of here

before he wakes up and finds out.

Darling, I...
I really appreciate this,

but I think it's better

if I'm honest with your father.

Oh, no, Mom!

Believe me, Mother,

this is no time to be honest.

Oh, Daddy and I have always been

honest with each other.
I have nothing to hide.

Oh, I know you haven't, Mom.

Well, it never even crossed
my mind that you had, but...

Well, you and Daddy
jump to conclusions.

Remember this afternoon

when you and Daddy

jumped to conclusions about me?

Well, obviously,

jumping to conclusions
runs in this family.

Oh, no!

Oh, honey.

Honey.

But how?

Through there.

Hey, Jeff!

We'd explain,
but then you wouldn't

have anything to wonder about.

Oh, I'm wondering.
I'm wondering.

We thought you were missing.

You shouldn't have done this.

We were ready
to call out the Marines.

Hey, you must be
a pretty popular girl.

The whole joint's looking for you.

Hey, what did you two do?

Go for a moonlight surfboard ride?

And all the time you and Jeff...

Yeah, a couple
of sneaky characters.

No wonder I couldn't win.
I never had a chance.

Oh, boy, you sure didn't.

You can say that again.

You gave your mother
and father some turn.

Oh, well, you don't know
what a turn they gave me.

Oh, it was terrible.

I was imagining the worst...

The torture, the agony of waiting,

and not knowing.

I've never been through
anything so terrible.

So now the shoe's
on the other foot, eh?

Look who got herself involved.

Well, golly,
when you love somebody,

you can't help but get involved.

Hear! Hear!

Now, what was that lecture
you delivered to us

right before we left home?

"Two minutes late, and poof!
They're shattered."

Yeah, yeah, and remember,

"One little doubt
and they're in hysterics."

Now you know what it's like
being a parent.

Boy, I sure do.

Hey! I've done
all my basic training.

Not quite, baby.

Everything all right now, Gidge?

Mm-mm.

I still have a little
unfinished business.

No! No!

Gidget! No!

No! No! Gidget!

Gidget! No, stop!

Ah! Ah!

# It's not the same #

# Down by the sea #

# Since the Gidget came #

# You'll hear the native boys
