Beach Blanket Bingo
The latest encounter with my new love affair, and the third installment, God bless my awesome cable. Canonically, this one is supposed to be the best of the genre. Deedee, though still a goody goody, is spicier this time due to a rival (the imcomparable Deborah Walley); and there's a bit of a war of the sexes waged in a sweet little duet. Bonehead gets some character development, and Von Zipper, again, has us wondering why they ever wrote him in...
Unfortunately, I fell asleep part way through on account of the insomnia of the night before...but NOT before I witnessed the most fantastical skydiving scene of EVER. Frankie gets his male ego all threatened, and to compensate, he hotheadly commits to skydiving before he has been sufficiently trained. Deedee goes with him, not to be outdone for being a girl. Deborah Walley's character is concerned because the kids aren't ready, and skydiving is a dangerous thing.
"What are they doing? They should have opened their parachutes by now. At that height, the water will be like concrete when they hit!"
"Oh! They just opened their parachutes. Everything's all right now."
"No it isn't - they opened them too late!"
[The gang rushes over to where Frankie and Deedee have landed. The pilot even goes so far as to crash his plane in a somersalt, in order to rescue them. All three are bobbing around in the water, conscious and unharmed, when their friends drag them back to the beach.]
"Skydiving is fun, but from now on, let's stick with surfing."
Oh, well, as long as we all learned a lesson and no one got hurt!
