Ward, to June, on how to react: "Don't worry, I'm not going to resort to physical violence. The parents peek under the Beaver's cap while the boys are asleep. You know, they go along all nice and easy and smiling, but all the while they're getting ready to jump on you." Told you something was wrong with this family. Wally's not sure they fooled their parents. (They're hoping the hair will grow back by then. Their excuse is having joined a secret society, and they have to wear the stocking caps for a whole week as part of their initiation. Wally beats David Beckham to inventing the fauxhawk Becks wears it better.īoth boys come to the table with stocking caps on their heads. And it's beyond help, but he gets Wally to try to fix it. During all this haircut stuff, the Beaver is set to be an angel in the school play. If you need a costume for a school play, of course your mother makes it. The barber does not operate on the barter system, but he offers to call the Cleaver parents and do the cut on a tab (I told you there's a much more trusting credit system in this show), but the Beaver is afraid to admit to having lost money again.Īlso: all women sew. Ward is doing his best to keep his temper in check, though, and since on this occasion the issue is the Beaver misplacing money, he decides to show he trusts him by sending the Beaver to the barbershop with $1.75 for a haircut and tip. While it works out fine this time, if I were his teacher I think I'd be harboring suspicions I would have a duty to report. Apparently, in the Beaver's world, having your father mad at you is something to dread. Beaver doesn't want to tell Ward why he hasn't been eating lunch at the cafeteria because "If I tell you, you'll get mad at me." He's right, and when he points this out, his father says "I'm not mad at you!" in an angry voice. So, yeah, my hypothesis from earlier that this is a home where the cracks are showing and the boys live in fear of their father? Totally validated right at the start of this episode. That's because you never went to kindergarten with a home permanent.All right, one episode tonight before I go to bed. Larry Mondello: Beaver punched me in the stomach, right where I almost had my operation.Įddie Haskell: Look Sam, if you can make the other guy feel like a goon first, then you don't feel like so much of a goon.Įddie Haskell: Of course you don't. Then we'd always have a man around to give it to Larry when his father's out of town. Margaret Mondello: Things would be all right if my daughter could just find a husband. At this point, I don't think you want to be taking advice from Eddie.Įddie Haskell: Are you kidding? I've been in an out of every kind of trouble there is in school.įred Rutherford: (Wally and Eddie's prank on Lumpy has backfired) Clarence! Did you wrap this chain around the axle of your car and then try to drive off?Ĭlarence 'Lumpy' Rutherford: Gosh no, Daddy! Why would I do something like that?įred Rutherford: It just seems like something you would do.Įddie Haskell: Hey, guys, like my new vest? I think it brings out the Peter Lawford in me. Maybe I can help you figure a way out of this. Ward Cleaver: Oh yes, the monster has returned to his cave.Įddie Haskell: (Beaver thinks he isn't going to graduate from 8th grade) Hey, that's tough, kid. I was upstairs, I didn't know you were home. (June sees Ward in the living room, who has overheard their exchange) Wally Cleaver: Yeah, I don't want him hollerin' at me again. If your father comes home and sees them he'll be in a terrible mood all through dinner. June Cleaver: Now Wally, I want you to go in the living room and pick up those orange peels that you left on the coffee table. (Ward has arrived home from work and is reading the mail in the living room, unbeknownst to June and Wally who have just come down the stairs) Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: I was just thinkin' what I'd do if I was a pig eatin' peoples ribs. Ward Cleaver: Well, you boys are very quiet tonight. (June has prepared a lovely dinner of barbecued pork ribs) Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: Went to school. Wally Cleaver: Well, I don't know, but, uh, you have that look on your face like somebody did something. Larry Mondello: My father caught me eating pie in bed. Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: You wanna' mess around later? He's got enough trouble with the Russians and all. Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: I wouldn't wanna do anything to hurt God. It's so sweet of you to be the thoughtful husband after all these years. (Ward has opened the car door for June to enter) Maybe 'cause if you drop something, nobody's gonna' holler at ya' for gettin' dirt dirty. Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver: Hey Larry, how come food tastes better when your eatin' it outside? (Beaver and Larry are having a picnic at Friends Lake)
