[ Gidget Narrating ]
The big brainstorms that changed civilization...

have hit at some pretty
weird times and places.

Like old Archimedes
who was taking a bath, and splash--

we got the science
of physics.

Newton was sitting
under the apple tree, and plop-- gravity.

And me? I was casually
waiting for a date...

when my world-moving idea
struck me.

Oh. Am I making
you nervous?

Now that you mention it-- I could wait outside.

But I wouldn't want Mark
to get the idea that I was eager or overanxious.

Well, let us preserve
the proprieties, even at the cost of my sanity.

Then, I could wait upstairs,
but I might not hear the horn.

I don't suppose
it would occur to Mark to come to the door for you.

Daddy, he doesn't even
like to honk twice.

[ Clicks Tongue ]
It's a pity.

- Oh, I'm used to it.
- I was feeling sorry for Mark.

- Why?
- 'Cause.

I think that
Mark and his friends are missing a lot.

When I was his age--
in the olden days--

half the fun of dating
was the challenge, the uncertainty.

We couldn't take a girl
for granted. We had to woo her, pursue her,

be considerate,
charming.

- And if you weren't?
- She went out with someone who was.

Yeah, but nowadays
all the boys are like Mark.

I know that customs change,
but I reserve the right...

to feel sorry for the boys
who are missing the excitement of the chase.

Besides, I-- I can't help
wondering if anyone really appreciates...

anything that's
too easily come by.

[ Horn Honks ]

Wasn't that the mating call?

- What are you doing?
- Experimenting.

Now look, just because I
talked about the olden days,

doesn't
mean I was suggesting--

I know it doesn't,
but maybe I owe it to poor Mark.

[ Doorbell Rings ]

Hi. Hi. Oh, Mark,
you know my father.

- Hi, Mark.
- Hi. Uh--

Aren't you coming
with us? Of course.

Didn't you hear
the horn?

Oh, I'm forgetting
my things.

I'm gonna make it up to Mark--
for all he's missed.

Mark got out of the car
and walked all the way to your front door?

I'll bet
he was steaming. I think he enjoyed it.

- It'll never happen again.
- I think all boys would be more polite...

if we-- if we just
expected it.

Pete's idea of being polite
is offering me the first handful of popcorn--

to see if it's too salty.

Chris took off his hat
when he saw me this morning.

You see? He wanted to show me
his new haircut.

Well, I still say if we're
not treated the way we want to be, it's our own faults.

Oh, men and women
are supposed to be equal.

- We're not statues
up on pedestals. - We're more like pals.

Hi, Pete.
Why the big rush? Hi, girls.

Today's the day
they got garlic bread at the cafeteria.

You're rushing the wrong way.

Yeah, but I gotta go
to the library first.

Oh, so do I. Great. Then you won't mind
taking those for me, right?

Well, I-- Thanks a million, Janie.
You're a real pal.

Hello, equality. You were right.

We're not statues
up on pedestals.

We aren't even
at eye level.

[ Books Tumble ]
Oh! Oh!

- Hey, let me help you.
- [ Janie ] Oh, that's very sweet of you, Ted.

Looks like you've got
half the library.

Well, yeah,
I have to return 'em. Then you won't mind one more.

I have to get
to the cafeteria for the garlic bread.

You can't really
be mad at them.

Well, if I try-- Oh, they just
don't know any better.

And who's
gonna teach them? Gimme the books.

Hey, I just saw
Pete and Ted.

They said you were taking
a big stack of books to the library.

So, right away, I thought--You thought you'd rush over
and offer to do it for us.

I did? Because he's a very kind
and considerate person.

Oh, but, Gidge,
all the garlic bread will be gone.

I'll save you some.

Thanks.

There's plenty of room
for everybody on this pedestal.

If the boys could be
more considerate about little things,

why not big things too?

Like sometimes
letting us decide which show to go to.

- And who we double with.
- And whether we're hungry or just want a glass of water.

And maybe-- Maybe we can
even get 'em to ask us for weekend dates in advance.

Like on Wednesday.

Instead of Friday afternoons.

After they've
checked the surf at Doheny and Carlsbad.

And if the waves are in--
[ Raspberry ] we're out.

It isn't fair. Or considerate.

- What can we do about it?
- Use your new system.

My new system?

The boys expect us
to stand by,

be ready when and if
we get the alert.

So that's what
we've been doing.

Instead, we should show them
that we expect to be asked for dates in advance.

[ Janie ]
Exactly. Well, I don't know.

Getting them to open doors
and return library books is one thing.

But expecting them to risk
missing good surf-- That's something else.

Who said
if we're not treated the way we'd like to be,

it's our own fault? Sounds like me.

I guess you don't really
believe it when it comes to important things.

Yes, I do.

And this is important.

We are entitled
to some consideration.

I mean, it isn't exactly
flattering to be treated...

as if we have nothing better
to do than sit around and wait for them to call.

Especially since
we don't have anything better to do...

than to sit around
and wait for them to call.

[ Gidget ] Do any of you
have dates for this weekend? On Thursday?

They're waiting
for the reports tomorrow afternoon.

And if the surf looks good,
then they're going up to San Onofre tomorrow night.

And if it's glassed out,
they'll call us.

And when they do,
we're all going to be busy.

Slumber party?
Here?

Tomorrow night?

Slumber party--
the misnomer of the century.

It's a branch meeting
of insomniacs anonymous.

There'll be
about eight girls.

What's the matter,
your boyfriends deserting you?

Going off on another
of their surfing safaris?

Uh-uh. This time,
we're deserting them.

We're hoping there's no surf
from Seattle to San Diego.

And they'll have to call us up
for dates at the last minute.

Ha ha. Won't they be
surprised?

Seems like
a nice vindictive reason for giving a party.

All we want is a little
consideration and respect.

The kind of thing
every girl used to be able to take for granted.

- In the olden days?
- Maybe the boys will appreciate us more...

if they find out
we don't always run when they whistle.

Gidget, don't tell me
you are turning my innocent, nostalgic ramblings...

into some sort of
reactionary manifesto.

We're just
going to remind them of their manners.

Manners change.

What was right for me
isn't necessarily right for Mark.

I didn't mean
to suggest it was.

If girls nowadays have lost
some of the advantages

their mothers
had, they gained others.

Girls and boys
have equal rights. Oh, yeah.

The boys have
the right to call us when they feel like it,

and we have the right
to wait around until they do. Good point.

But do you think
that forcing the issue...

with this slumber party
is the answer?

Maybe if you tried
a more subtle approach.

Daddy!

I'm sure there was
someone in Boston...

who didn't think dumping
all that tea in the harbor was exactly subtle.

And I bet there was someone
who protested it was a bit obvious to storm the Bastille.

And I'm sure-- I'll go quietly.

But should I softly hum
the "Marseillaise" or whistle "Yankee Doodle"?

Gidget! Gidget!

I just heard-- no surf.
Tidal wave off Tahiti.

Boys not going
to San Onofre.

Great. That means
they'll be calling us.

That also means
that we can cancel the slumber party.

Want it some other weekend?

Forget I said it.

In the immortal words
of what's his name,

"The die is cast."

Well, I guess
everyone's here.

Sure looks like
everybody's here.

I'm glad
we got that settled.

This was a wonderful idea,
Gidget.

Just wonderful.

It's important to realize that
we can have a good time...

without depending
on anyone else.

That's right.

- I wonder what they're doing.
- Who cares?

They're learning that
they're not indispensable.

My little sister said
Ted called three times. So did Pete.

[ Phone Rings ]

Wait! Hold it!
My dad's gonna answer the phone for us.

Screen all calls. [ Door Opens ]

[ Ringing ]

[ Ring ]

Lawrence residence.
Yeah, how are you, Mark?

Hmm? No.
No, Gidget didn't ask me to give you any message.

All right, yes.
Yes, I'll tell her.

That was Mark. How'd he sound?

Hurt? Desperate?
Bewildered?

Annoyed.

Hey, what's the matter
with everybody?

Let's have some fun.
Sing songs.

Play games.
Tell stories.

Who needs
a bunch of wet blankets at a slumber party?

[ All Chuckling ]

Annoyed?

They just disappeared,
I'm tellin' ya.

And on Friday night.

I know Gidget's dad
was covering for her. Yeah, so is Janie's mom.

I think I'll try
Larue's house again.

Ellen's been acting
kind of weird lately.

So has Janie--
telling me how courteous I am. This is Chris. Is Larue there?

I've had the feeling with
Gidget that I'm being brainwashed.

Girls are always coming up
with these knocked-out ideas. [ Chris ] Senora?

Uh. ?D?nde est? Larue? Yeah.

I guess that's what
makes them interesting.

[ Chris ]
Aha. S?, s?.

Gracias, s enora.
Gracias.

Hey, I just crashed
the language barrier with Larue's housekeeper.

I know where
the girls are. [ All ] Where?

Well, Gidget's throwing
a wild party. What? Oh, yeah?

How about playing a game? What kind of a game?

Associations
is lots of fun.

I say a word like picture

And then I say the first word
that comes into my mind.

Yearbook. Autograph.

Chris.

I want Chris to autograph
his picture in my yearbook.

The idea is to keep
our minds off them.

Janie, you start. Here.
Now.

Present. Absent.

- Boys.
- Marcia!

Well, it was the first word
I thought of.

Let's try it again. Boys.

Just slipped out.

I'll start.
Game.

Dull. Mood.

- Low.
- High. - Boy.

- Marcia!
- Haven't you ever heard of a highboy?

Let's start over.

Principle.School.

I didn't mean
that kind of principal.

What difference
does it make? School. Saturday.

Beach. Surf.

- Bo--
- [ Gidget ] Marcia!

I was gonna say board.

[ Phone Rings ] Never mind.
My dad will handle it.

- Hello.
- I believe the last word was "board."

- Stiff.
- Right.

Gidget, it's Mark again.

He knows you're all here.
He insists on speaking to you.

All right.
Uh, continue with the game, girls.

We'll wait.

- Hello?
- Hiya, Gidge.

Say, we hear that the girls
are all over at your house.

That's right.
We're having a marvelous time.

In fact,
they're laughing so loud, I can hardly hear you.

I can hear you fine.

Say, anyway, uh,
you know, the guys are all over here,

and we thought we all might
get together and do something tonight, you know?

I'm afraid not, Mark.

If you'd said something
to us earlier in the week, say on Wednesday.

Or Thursday. Or early this morning.

But since you didn't,
of course we made other plans.

I'm sorry, Mark.
Bye.

[ Line Clicks ]

I did it.
I didn't weaken. We're proud of you.

When this is over,
we'll have earned their respect.

Oh, they'll respect us,
even if they don't like us.

Why don't they wanna see us?

What did we do? I guess it's what
we didn't do.

We gotta worry
about that now, huh?

We should have asked them
for dates earlier.

How could we, till we
checked out the surf?

Now, I don't mind them
being a little weird,

but they're being
downright unreasonable now.

Let's crash the party. [ All Agreeing ]

No, no, you can't do that,

'cause that's just as good
as admitting that we can't get along without them.

Who needs 'em?

Hey. Hey, you guys.
Wait for me.

We're not trying hard enough
to have a good time.

Well, I'm worn out
from trying.

How about some music?
We could dance. Without boys?

Well, we never get together
on the floor anyway.

Sounds like they're
goin' all the way. Yeah.

Hey, they're
in their pajamas! Hey, cool it.

Wait a minute. We're supposed
to be party crashers, not Peeping Toms.

- [ Doorbell Rings ]
- There's someone at the door.

My dad'll get it. He didn't hear it
because of the music.

[ Doorbell Rings ] Wait!

Hi! [ Larue Screams ]

Well, aren't you
gonna invite us in?

This party is for
girls only.

Aw, come on, Gidge.

Daddy, will you
handle this, please?

What would you suggest?
Firing a few rounds over their heads?

Gentlemen, kindly disperse.

Stand not upon the order
of your going, just go.

Boy, when he gives you
the brush-off, he does it with style.

Psst, hey, Janie.

Are you really havin'
a good time? No.

Then come with us.Well, we'd like to,
but we can't.

I'll call you
in a few minutes. We can't go to the phone,

unless it's an emergency. Expect an emergency.

You handled that
very well, Daddy.

And without bloodshed.

Don't you think
we've taught them enough for the first lesson?

If we give in now,
they'll have even less respect for us than they did before.

Even if you don't need someone
to dance with, but you need someone to dance at.

[ Ringing ]

Hello? Hello, this is
Mrs., uh, Carmichael.

[ High Voice ] May I speak
to my daughter, Janie? It's an emergency.

Janie, it, uh,
seems to be your mother.

- Hello?
- Hello. Now listen, play it boss, baby.

Remember, this is mother,
and we got an emergency.

It's my mother.
My mother called me. We're very close.

Now, whatever Gidget's
trying to prove, it's nothin' to you and me.

Now we got a swingin' party
goin' at my place, and I want you to come over.

Well, I don't know.
I-- I--

I miss you a lot.
And you didn't look too happy when I saw you.

That much fever?

Oh, of course.
I'll be there as soon as I can.

I'm sorry, Gidge, but, well,
my mother needs me.

There's this... fever.

I-I'm sorry, Gidge.

[ No Audible Dialogue
Over Montage ]

Oh, I'm sorry, Gidge. That's okay.

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

Dad?

Do you think everybody that
started out to the Boston Tea Party got there?

No, I imagine there were
quite a few dropouts.

You know,
illness in the family.

But there were some who
thought what they were doing was right,

and they went ahead.

Yeah. And later on,
the dropouts benefited too.

I'm glad to see
you're taking such an interest in American history, Gidge.

As Mrs. Revere said to Paul,
how about a midnight snack?

Potato chips?
Popcorn?
[ Rock ]

How come nobody's dancin'?
What's the matter with everybody?

Nothing.

We're having a great time.

Just great.

Gidget doesn't know
what she's missing.

Mark. Listen,
you gotta do somethin'.

Gidget's spoilin'
the whole party. Uh, call her up.

Get her over here. No, she wouldn't come
if I called.

You know something?
I admire her for that.

For what?
Spoiling our party? Oh, come on.

Gidget's not spoiling this
party, although she'd have the right since we spoiled hers.

What's with you
all of a sudden?

It wasn't a real party.

We just wanted to
teach you boys a lesson.

You shouldn't take us
for granted. That's right.

Well, we shouldn't
take you for granted, huh?

We shouldn't act as if all we
had to do was snap our fingers and you'd come running?

Well, it looks like Gidget's
the only one qualified to teach that lesson.

Now that the Boston Tea Party
is history, what's your next move, fearless leader?

I'm resigning
as a fearless leader.

Before I try leading anybody
anywhere again, I wanna be sure where I'm going.

[ Doorbell Rings ]

Maybe somebody's cherished
relative made a quick recovery.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- You by yourself?
- Yeah. The others are at Pete's house.

I came over
to ask you something.

I'm sorry, Mark,
but I can't go back to Pete's with you.

I know.

What I wanted to ask you
is if you'd like to come out with me next Friday.

Next Friday?
You mean a whole week from now?

- [ Chuckles ]
- I'd love to.

Great.

Only don't count on me
always asking you this far in advance, huh?

Okay. And if you wait
too late to ask,

don't count on me
saying yes, okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Uh, would you like to come in
and have some midnight snack with my dad and me?

Sure, why not?
And then maybe later,

you and I can go out
and get somethin' to eat, huh?

Bye, Dad.
I'll be home early.Be careful.

[ Horn Honks ] Mark?

Well, sometimes he forgets.

Nobody's perfect.

[ Gidget Narrating ] After
all, the Boston Tea Party didn't settle anything.

It just shook people
up a little

and started them thinking
in the right direction.

As far as courtesy
and consideration and respect are concerned,

I say if a boy
meets you halfway, who can complain?
