She's an accomplished musician.

She plays the...

Francie,

this is Jeffrey Matthews.

My daughter, Francie.

Uh, Francie...

this is Jeffrey.

My daughter, Francie, Jeffrey.

Hello.

How do you do?

Uh, sit down, Jeffrey.

Francie, won't you... sit down?

Well, the weather

certainly has been...

Oh, this is my wife,

Mrs. Lawrence.

This is Jeffrey's son, Jeff.

Hello, Jeff. Mrs. Lawrence.

Won't you sit down, dear?

I fixed some iced coffee

for you, if you'd like.

Uh, Mother, I feel

a headache coming on.

I think I'll go and lie down.

Say, I've uh...

my friend let me have his

convertible tonight, and...

Well, you know what they say

about fresh air for a headache.

Good idea.

I've got the top down

and everything.

Uh, may, I, uh,

call you Francie?

Why not... Jeffrey?

Go right ahead.

Darling, try to be gracious.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Bye. Have a good time.

Wow.

Now, look, what kind

of a gag is this?

Wasn't last night enough?

Do you have to come back

for more laughs?

Hey, look, this wasn't my idea.

I came as a favor to my dad.

How was I to guess some drip cello

student would turn out to be you?

Thanks.

Hey, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

Now, figure it this way...

it's better than trying

to keep up a farce

in front of your parents.

Anyway, right now, there's

one thing I've got to do,

and you're coming with me.

Come on, get in.

What's the idea?

Just want to take

a last look, is all.

Gidge...

There's nothing more to say.

I'm only here to be gracious.

Kahuna, what are you doing?

Closing up shop.

You know, call of the sea,

follow the sun,

and all of that jazz.

But last night, you

never mentioned it.

You didn't even

say goodbye or...

Well, isn't it usual

for friends to...

He wouldn't dig the word.

What's with you two?

What's happened?

Nothing, except

the guy he pictured

to be above the whole crowd,

he now figures for the gutter.

Kahuna, listen...

Get off my back, will you?

Look, last night,

I guess we both said a lot

of things we didn't mean.

- Who didn't mean them?

- Jeff...

Like I said,

either a guy's got a talent for a

certain way of life, or he hasn't.

He's taken a job.

All that bilge

about the free soul,

it's fake.

It doesn't mean anything if a

guy doesn't really mean it.

It's a fake and a phony

if it's not

what you really want...

and you don't.

But you do. That's right, I do.

You don't need anybody.

Not a soul.

No, just a free life, no chains.

Not a one, not a one and a...

Okay...

so you know.

I can't kid anybody.

You start a guy like me

thinking, it's fatal.

So long, Gidget.

And you...

Just remember, she

might be pint-sized,

but she's quite a woman.

Hey...

What did he, uh...

what did he mean,

"Quite a woman"?

Oh, it's just something

between the two of us...

and my mom and my grandmother.

Gee, I...

I never figured he'd change.

Well, he's not the

only one who's changed.

I wired my dad

this morning, and...

and I'm headed back home for

college tomorrow, and, uh...

Well, I just hope

we could part friends.

After all, we did have

a lot of laughs this summer.

Yeah, I guess we did.

Hey, what is this?

I've never had any trouble

talking with girls

before in my life,

but with you, it's different.

Look, you're the one that's been

telling me all about this, uh...

crazy feeling one person can

get about another person.

Yes?

Oh, what's the use.

Moondoggie...

Forget it.

Moondoggie...

Come on, Francie,

I'll take you home.

Oh, brother, the bigger the

are, the dopier they come.

Oh, gee, would, uh...

would you, uh, sort of wear

this till I come back?

Oh, boy, would I!

Oh, just wait...

wait till the girls

get a load of this.

Honest to goodness,

it's the absolute ultimate!
