• Patti : She's more fish than dish. To put it bluntly, the kid's studied up on about everything but sex! And let's face it, like most of us, she's pushing 17.

  Betty Louise aka B.L. : Oh, not till next month.

  Patti : Oh, listen, B.L., you don't have to go. You've got social security just by wearing Buck's fraternity pin. But take it from me, Francie has got to make it this summer, or she'll be a social outcast.

• Patti : Oh, be realistic, Francie. Now, ask yourself one vital question. To date, what has your life added up to? Okay, so you're an "A" student. That's parent stuff. Do you know anybody else it impresses?

• Patti : Now, hear this, Francie Lawrence. The day, the hour, and the moment has arrived.

  Francie Lawrence aka Gidget : Not for me, it hasn't. Aw, gee, Patti, last year and the year before, didn't we all have a ball? I mean, why can't we go on being like that always? Why do we have to spoil it all?
