Gidget: 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) I wonder if thinking about stuff like that means I’m a philosopher. (yawning) Oh, I hope not. Because I’m too tired for all that jazz.
(edit)
Gidget: Now Jeff has me exactly where he wants me. And when I think it was my idea…
Russell: Your idea?
Gidget: You don’t think Jeff would suggest it? When it comes to things like that, he’s not square. He’s cube. (edit) Gidget: (narrating) I was telling myself to face facts. I was not Sofia Loren. Good grief. Even she would have to think twice about Cornbread. (edit) John: I don’t suppose there’s anything I could say.
Russell: John, for the first time, you and I are in complete agreement. (edit) Gidget: 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?
Gidget: I’m gonna give him a second chance. (edit)

Gidget: "When it comes to things like that he's not Square he's Cube"
Square was a term used in the 60's for someone not being cool. (edit) Gidget: "I was telling myself to face facts..I was not Sophia Loren"
She was a popular sex symbol of the time. (edit)
