- Jody Wallis: Brie sounds - clean and free. It fits you.
- Brie Matthews: You're a funny boy. One minute you're shooting harpoons at someone and the next, you're very nice.
- Jody Wallis: Mixed-up generation, that's me.
- Ralph 'Steamer' Lane: Hey Jody, a buck says I stay higher on the curl than you!
- Jody Wallis: Okay, sucker. You got a bet. How 'bout you Chase?
- Chase Colton: No thanks. It's my head. I want to split it open very carefully.
- Chase Colton: What is she? Some kind of a girl nut?
- Augie Poole: A girl nut? Okay, Ivy League, maybe I can't lick Ally, but, you, I can take.
- Chase Colton: You can't be serious.
- Augie Poole: Come on. Come on out and get your lumps.
- Jody Wallis: I'm what you call a surf bum.
- Brie Matthews: You mean you don't work or go to school or anything?
- Jody Wallis: Not since last year. Why? Does that bend you all out of shape?
- Brie Matthews: Why, no. No. It's really none of my business, but, isn't there anything you want to do besides surf?
- Brie Matthews: There are a lot of wonderful and useful things to do in this world. And if you turn away from them or pretend they don't exist, then you're the loser.
- Jody Wallis: You know something, I like you.
- Brie Matthews: You say that as if it were hard for you to like people.
- Jody Wallis: Oh, not people like you. Just the phonies that go around trying to put everybody down.
- Brie Matthews: You know, Jody, everybody's not a phony.
- Jody Wallis: I know you're not.
- Augie Poole: Ah, Mr. Chin you're the Rembrandt of fireworks! That's perfect for New Year's Eve.
- Chase Colton: New Years? Will someone mind telling me, please, what have fireworks to do with New Year's Eve?
- Mr. Chin: You still never seen New Year in island?
- Chase Colton: No. I never have.
- Mr. Chin: Whole sky light up with rocket. Red. Green. Silver. Gold. American flag. Mickey Mouse! Whole island filled with noise of a thousand thunders. Beautiful to cry.
- Lily Kilua: With Mama, surfers are like a red flag to a bull. She thinks every one of them is nothing but a lazy loafer.
- Lily Kilua: Mama's from New England and she thinks work comes first - always. And Papa's from Maui and he thinks that singing and dancing and surfing are - are just as important as work.
- Augie Poole: Say, you know what you need?
- Chase Colton: What?
- Augie Poole: A good, strong dose of Augie Poole.
- Augie Poole: Isn't he something?
- Brie Matthews: Yes.
- Augie Poole: What do you mean by "yes"?
- Brie Matthews: Oh, I mean, mmMmm... .
- Brie Matthews: You don't have to be a surf bum!
- Jody Wallis: But I am.
- Brie Matthews: But you don't have to be.
- Ralph 'Steamer' Lane: Can you do that?
- Lily Kilua: Yes.
- Ralph 'Steamer' Lane: You're kidding.
- Lily Kilua: Well, I do it a little different.
- Ralph 'Steamer' Lane: Go on, show me.
- Lily Kilua: You want me to?
- Ralph 'Steamer' Lane: Sure, why not?
- Lily Kilua: Alright!
- Charlie: I think we're a bunch of suckers out here bustin' our backs while those squares in on the beach die laughin' every time we go on our heads.
- Swag: Say, I haven't seen you go on your head, mate. You don't even take off any place near the peak. Just the shoulder where the waves are a lot smaller.
- Charlie: You're one to talk. I haven't seen you make a wave yet.
- Eskimo: Yeah, Charlie, but he takes off from the top.
- Charlie: You think I'm poultry?
- Eskimo: Yeah, I think you're chicken!
- Charlie: Listen, you'd have to be crazy to go near the peak the way the bottom is now.
- Eskimo: Well, be crazy once and get outta here.
- Charlie: I'm not going out there. So, what's so big? It's supposed to be a sport, not suicide! Suckers!
- Jody Wallis: My Dad, well, he'd build swimming pools. Goes around calling himself, 'The Swimming Pool King'. Pinches waitresses and goes around picking up big tabs in nightclubs, even though he was only one step ahead of the Sheriff.
- Eskimo: Okay, hot shot, it's your funeral. But, don't think you're gonna beat me to any place but the morgue.
- TV Commentator: What happens next fellas?
- Russ Fulton: It can't last too much longer. You see the way the surf's pounding the bottom, it changes the way the waves break. It makes it hard to find the pocket.
- TV Commentator: The pocket?
- Ally Maloha: That's the place you take out for them to catch a high ride without getting creamed.
