Gidget Lawrence
- [first lines]
- Gidget Lawrence: Well, there it is. The United Nations. One of humanities nobelist achievements. And here am I, Gidget Lawrence. Currently one of humanities most miserable misfits.
- Gidget Lawrence: After two psyched out years as an exchange student, first in Italy and then in France, little ole prodigal me, returns to California - where I belong, to the people I belong to - like my dad, and the surfing hot shots and wahinis.
- Gidget Lawrence: [voice over] Jeff wanted us to do something different, memorable. I'd have settled for just sitting quietly, looking at him.
- Gidget Lawrence: Did you get my letters?
- Moondoggie Griffith: You bet your Crêpes Suzettes, I got 'em. They were so racy, I let my subscription to Playboy expire.
- Minnie Chan: Hi, I'm Minerva Chan. Everyone calls me Minnie.
- Gidget Lawrence: I'm Francis Lawrence. Everyone calls me Gidget.
- Gidget Lawrence: You speak very good English.
- Minnie Chan: Why not? I'm from Reading, Pennsylvania.
- Gidget Lawrence: Oh? I thought you you were Chinese?
- Minnie Chan: I am Chinese - American style.
- Minnie Chan: I'm kinda scared.
- Gidget Lawrence: Me too.
- Minnie Chan: Glad to hear it. Two of the same opinion can conquer a city.
- Gidget Lawrence: Confucius.

- Gidget Lawrence: This isn't an apartment, it's a shrine.
- Louis B. Latimer: That's true. I'm not looking for a tenant, but a keeper of the flame.
- Gidget Lawrence: What a privilege! A sacred trust.
- Louis B. Latimer: The rent is 185 a month.
- Gidget Lawrence: [voice over] At the United Nations, Bibi is really laying it on us. A piece of lint on your jacket and you feel like Benedict Arnold.
- [Bibi brushes lint off of Gidget's breast]
- Gidget Lawrence: A skirt, half a millimeter too short and it's an international incident.
- Alex MacLaughlin: Where did you two meet?

- Katrina Lund: Ya, for entertainment.
- Gidget Lawrence: While your busy rubbing noses with the Eskimos, Alex is helping people learn how to grow their own food so their children don't starve to death!
- Gidget Lawrence: I'm sorry. What a gooney bird! A knight rescues a damsel in distress and all she does is rave about the dragon.
- Gidget Lawrence: It's hopeless. My subconscious has a trickier defense system than Fort Knox. I better go.
- Gidget Lawrence: [voice over] Abdul swept down on a cute little guide from Iraq. She had no problem at all adjusting to Abdul's oil wells or being number 12 in that happy harem.
- Russ Lawrence: English, huh?
- Gidget Lawrence: Australian. But, he studied in England and then in the United States.
