- Larue: Ten minutes! Now that's something else. What do you suppose for?
- Frances "Gidget" Lawrence: To pick up the empty bottle.

- John Cooper: On what occasions?
- Frances "Gidget" Lawrence: That's two questions.
- John Cooper: Please! I must have an answer. When does this happen?
- Frances "Gidget" Lawrence: Whenever I have graham crackers and a glass of milk.
