00:00:23,624 --> 00:00:27,116
[Ward Narrating]
When you’re young,
there are some things you have to learn.

2
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:29,253
How to catch a baseball

3
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:32,594
And good table manners
don’t come too easily.

4
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:37,831
But when you’re a boy,
losing things Is one of the few lessons
you don ’t have to learn.

5
00:00:37,905 --> 00:00:41,170
And that’s our story tonight
on Leave It To Beaver.

6
00:00:46,547 --> 00:00:49,015
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

7
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:57,623
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

8
00:00:58,692 --> 00:01:02,128
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

9
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,642
What are you looking for?

10
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:19,975
I lost one of my wings.
Oh.

11
00:01:20,047 --> 00:01:21,981
One of your wings?

12
00:01:22,049 --> 00:01:24,017
Well, one of the Beaver's wings.

13
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:26,018
Oh, that's even
more improbable.

14
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:28,577
I'm working on his costume
for the school play.

15
00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:31,146
Miss Canfield has him
playing an angel.

16
00:01:31,224 --> 00:01:34,057
I'm glad to hear he's been promoted.
Last year he played a dwarf.

17
00:01:34,127 --> 00:01:39,030
Ah, here we are.
One wing.

18
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:43,968
Uh, by the way, how is—
how is Beaver reacting
to his role?

19
00:01:44,037 --> 00:01:46,267
Does it offend
his masculine dignity?

20
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,366
I don't think so.
I think it's upset him a little bit.

21
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:54,540
Miss Canfield called this afternoon
and said that he hadn't eaten lunch
in school for three days.

22
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:57,641
Well, did he take
his lunch money with him?
Yes, his whole week's allowance.

23
00:01:57,718 --> 00:01:59,015
Huh.

24
00:01:59,086 --> 00:02:03,785
I don't like to have him
going without his lunch.

25
00:02:03,857 --> 00:02:07,816
I talked to him about it,
but I didn't get anywhere.

26
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:11,625
—Ward, would you?
— Okay.

27
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:13,689
All right.
Sure, I'll talk to him.

28
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:16,201
Darling, thanks.
You're so good at it.

29
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:18,203
Yeah.

30
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:22,272
[June]
Beaver!

31
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:24,310
Hey, Beave, they're calling ya.

32
00:02:24,378 --> 00:02:26,505
I don't think I hear 'em.

33
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,946
Beaver!

34
00:02:29,016 --> 00:02:31,041
Now I think I gotta hear 'em.

35
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:38,688
Now look, Beave,
Whatever you did,
don't drag me into it.

36
00:02:42,295 --> 00:02:46,197
Now look, Beave.
I know what you told
Miss Canfield,

37
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:51,499
but just between us men,
why didn't you go to
the cafeteria for lunch?

38
00:02:53,006 --> 00:02:55,668
Just between us men?
Uh-huh.

39
00:02:55,742 --> 00:02:57,972
I wasn't hungry.

40
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:03,547
Uh, Beaver, you know
you kind of hurt my feelings.

41
00:03:03,617 --> 00:03:06,711
I, uh—I thought you liked
your old dad well enough...

42
00:03:06,787 --> 00:03:10,314
to not have any secrets from him.

43
00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:13,086
Now, come on,
why didn't you have your lunch?

44
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,390
If I tell you,
you'll be mad at me.

45
00:03:15,462 --> 00:03:18,556
That's ridiculous.
Now come on, tell me.

46
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:20,930
I "losted” my money.

47
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:24,493
Again?
Oh, Beaver.

48
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:26,596
Your mother and I
have been very patient with you,

49
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:29,039
but this habit of losing money
has got to stop.

50
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:31,509
I told you you'd be mad at me.

51
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:35,014
I'm not mad at you.
Okay, shake.

52
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:41,051
[Laughs]
Okay, Beaver.

53
00:03:41,121 --> 00:03:44,420
But we've gotta do something
about this business
Of losing money.

54
00:03:44,491 --> 00:03:48,484
Couldn't I have another chance?
I don't mean to losted anything.

55
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:55,931
Oh!
[Chuckles]

56
00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:58,368
Well, what took you so long?
Oh, honey,

57
00:03:58,438 --> 00:04:03,603
even with inflation,
it takes a while to spend $23.86.

58
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:09,540
Where are the boys?
Oh, Wally's out
playing ball somewhere.

59
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:11,743
I sent the Beaver down
to get a haircut.

60
00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:15,552
You sent him to the barbershop?

61
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:18,022
You know a better place
to get a haircut?

62
00:04:18,091 --> 00:04:20,753
[Chuckles]
No, I figured as long as he
was going to be in the school play,

63
00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:22,761
I didn't want him
to be a shaggy angel.

64
00:04:22,829 --> 00:04:25,389
What I mean is
did you give him the money
to get a haircut?

65
00:04:25,465 --> 00:04:28,696
I gave him a dollar and a half
for the haircut, and a 25—cent tip
for the barber.

66
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:32,466
You gave him $1.75 after the way
he's been losing money?

67
00:04:32,539 --> 00:04:36,566
Aw, June, I feel it's important
to give him another chance.

68
00:04:36,643 --> 00:04:40,602
You know, like in the air force.
When a pilot crashes,
they send him right back up again...

69
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,614
so he won't lose his nerve.

70
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:46,174
Beaver won't lose his nerve,
just your money.

71
00:04:46,253 --> 00:04:51,384
I don't know about that.
Don't forget, we had
a little talk last night, man—to—man.

72
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,790
I don't think it'll happen again.

73
00:04:53,860 --> 00:04:57,796
Anyway,just to make sure,
I buttoned it in his shirt pocket
personally.

74
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:02,460
I told him, told him at least
a half a dozen times:

75
00:05:02,536 --> 00:05:04,595
How can the Elks
beat the firemen?

76
00:05:04,671 --> 00:05:08,300
They ain't got a man on the team
who can bowl over 200.

77
00:05:08,375 --> 00:05:11,105
[Customer]
Yeah, but the firemen
have a new rule.

78
00:05:11,178 --> 00:05:13,840
They can draw on guys
in the sanitation department

79
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:17,315
They’re loaded for the finals.

80
00:05:17,384 --> 00:05:19,978
When he gets back,
be sure and tell Stanley
I was in.

81
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:22,955
You'll be next, son.

82
00:05:36,036 --> 00:05:37,970
Okay, son.

83
00:05:39,739 --> 00:05:41,798
That's $2.25 with the shine.

84
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,900
Put it on my tab—
Mr. Todd.

85
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:46,571
Okay. Okay, Mr. Todd.

86
00:05:54,654 --> 00:05:58,351
What's the matter?
I'm looking for something.

87
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:02,361
I think I losted my money.

88
00:06:02,429 --> 00:06:05,262
Looks like you "founded"
everything else in town.

89
00:06:06,333 --> 00:06:08,528
Can you give me
a haircut anyways?

90
00:06:08,602 --> 00:06:10,900
I've gotta be an angel in school.

91
00:06:10,971 --> 00:06:13,940
Well, I'd like to,
but Stanley the boss
is on vacation,

92
00:06:14,007 --> 00:06:16,237
and he won't let me give
a haircut without money.

93
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:20,604
Oh. Put it on my tab.

94
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,545
You have a tab?

95
00:06:22,616 --> 00:06:24,516
I might have.

96
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:26,518
What is a tab?

97
00:06:26,586 --> 00:06:30,682
Well, it's a charge account
like Mr. Todd has.

98
00:06:30,757 --> 00:06:33,749
All right, put it on his tab.

99
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:36,421
Oh, I can't do that, son.

100
00:06:40,634 --> 00:06:42,932
Will you give me a haircut
for a glass doorknob?

101
00:06:43,003 --> 00:06:44,937
It's hardly scratched at all.

102
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:48,702
Well, that's
a nice—looking doorknob,

103
00:06:48,775 --> 00:06:53,144
but, uh, I don't think the union
will go along with me.

104
00:06:53,213 --> 00:06:56,808
Would the union go along
with a couple of lead soldiers?

105
00:06:56,883 --> 00:07:00,979
I'm afraid not.
I tell you what we do, son.

106
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:04,854
Suppose I call up your parents
and tell 'em you lost the money,
and they'll okay the haircut.

107
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:08,622
How does that sound?
Yeah.

108
00:07:08,695 --> 00:07:11,095
I think our phone's
been discontinued.

109
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:14,827
Well, then,just suppose you go home
and explain it to your parents.

110
00:07:14,901 --> 00:07:18,268
They'll understand.
After all, anybody can lose money.

111
00:07:18,338 --> 00:07:20,806
Yeah, but not as good as I can.

112
00:07:20,874 --> 00:07:23,775
Well—

113
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:27,574
Thanks anyways.
I guess I have to think
of something else.

114
00:07:27,647 --> 00:07:29,581
Sorry, son.

115
00:07:31,318 --> 00:07:33,252
Next?

116
00:07:38,925 --> 00:07:41,917
Stand still, Wally.

117
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:44,020
I'm trying to fit this.

118
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:46,827
Gee, Mom, why can't the Beaver
model his own wings?

119
00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:49,562
He went to get a haircut,
and I haven't seen him since.

120
00:07:49,636 --> 00:07:52,264
Well, what if some of the kids
walked in and saw me like this?

121
00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:55,399
Oh, never mind.
Now hold still.

122
00:07:56,743 --> 00:07:59,871
Wally, why aren't you
in the school play?

123
00:07:59,946 --> 00:08:02,813
Oh, I'm in it.
What do you do?

124
00:08:02,882 --> 00:08:06,716
I hold a sign saying "just a minute”
while the wise men
are putting on their beards.

125
00:08:08,888 --> 00:08:12,984
Better get your blue suit pressed.
Yeah. Can I get out of
these things now?

126
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:17,223
Oh, all right.
You can get out of these things.
Come on.

127
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:22,032
Boy, it makes me look
Like a sissy.

128
00:08:28,975 --> 00:08:31,068
Wally?

129
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:33,476
Have you seen my scissors?
No, Mom.

130
00:08:34,581 --> 00:08:36,515
Oh, well, they'll turn up.

131
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,121
[Scissors Cutting]

132
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:52,189
Hey, Beaver, are you in there?

133
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:54,199
/’n in here, Wally.

134
00:08:57,170 --> 00:09:01,470
Well, what are you doin'?
I’m not doin’ nothin’.
Nothin’ at all, Wally.

135
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:03,475
[Scissors Cutting]

136
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:11,713
[Scissors Cutting]
Beaver, you come on outta there.

137
00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:16,313
If you don't,
I'm gonna tell Dad.

138
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:18,323
Alright

139
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:33,305
What's that?

140
00:09:33,373 --> 00:09:35,307
A haircut, I think.

141
00:09:36,876 --> 00:09:38,810
Wow.

142
00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:42,609
You look like Wilson's Airedale
when he had the mange.

143
00:09:44,117 --> 00:09:46,142
Why didn't you let Stanley
Cut your hair?

144
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:50,212
Stanley wasn't there.
And anyways I losted my money.

145
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:55,489
What a goof! How could you
lose the money again?
I don't know.

146
00:09:55,562 --> 00:09:57,996
Wait till Dad gets a load
of that head.

147
00:10:02,869 --> 00:10:06,805
Wally, couldn't you fix it up for me?
Don’t be crazy

148
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:09,000
I can't give anybody a haircut.

149
00:10:09,075 --> 00:10:10,940
Did you ever give anybody one?

150
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:13,911
— No.
— Then how do you know?

151
00:10:15,982 --> 00:10:19,509
It's a real small head.

152
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:23,078
Well, I guess I could make it
Look a little bit better
than it does now.

153
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:26,990
— Sure you could.
— Okay, hand 'em over.

154
00:10:35,502 --> 00:10:37,561
You're a wonderful brother.

155
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:45,444
[Scissors Cutting]

156
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:01,782
Well, I think that's about it.

157
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:06,230
Are you finished?
I don't know,
but I think I'd better stop.

158
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:27,981
I've never seen one like it,
have you?

159
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:29,919
It's different.

160
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:34,585
Yeah.
Yeah.

161
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:47,839
How long do you think
before it grows back?
At least a week.

162
00:11:49,075 --> 00:11:52,602
Well, I can't hide
for a whole week.

163
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,546
No.

164
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:57,674
[Sighs]
I'm sorry, Beave.

165
00:11:58,918 --> 00:12:02,319
Oh, that's okay.
It's only your first haircut.

166
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:04,720
You'll get better
as you go along.

167
00:12:04,791 --> 00:12:08,887
What are we gonna do?
They're gonna be awful mad at us
when they see it.

168
00:12:10,230 --> 00:12:12,698
Maybe we could think of a way
so they won't see it.

169
00:12:12,765 --> 00:12:15,290
Yeah, let me think.

170
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:27,770
Well, did you get the Beaver
converted to an angel yet?

171
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:31,874
He wasn't around today.
Had to use Wally
as a stand—in angel.

172
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:34,613
When is the big event?
Wednesday night.

173
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:38,020
You know, honey,
I may be a little prejudiced,

174
00:12:38,091 --> 00:12:41,083
I think he's gonna be
the cutest angel there.

175
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,459
Well, I must admit,
I can see why they picked him.
He's so, uh—

176
00:12:56,476 --> 00:12:59,070
Hi, Dad.

177
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:01,443
Hi, Mom.

178
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:03,880
— What's for supper?
— [Sighs]

179
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:07,249
Pot roast, potato pancakes
and what's the big idea?

180
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,618
I just wanted to know.

181
00:13:09,689 --> 00:13:15,127
Uh, your mother wants to know,
what's the big idea of the caps?

182
00:13:16,496 --> 00:13:18,691
Oh, the caps. Um—

183
00:13:18,765 --> 00:13:20,858
What is the idea
of the caps, Wally?

184
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:25,700
Um, well, you see, Dad,
the Beaver and I
joined this new club.

185
00:13:25,772 --> 00:13:30,869
And for initiation, you gotta wear
these stocking caps for a whole week.

186
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:34,310
Yeah, if you take 'em off,
you're uninitiated.

187
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,516
Well, if you have to wear them.

188
00:13:40,253 --> 00:13:43,120
Uh, what kind of a club is it?

189
00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:48,149
Uh, well, it's kind of
a secret club, Dad. You know.

190
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:51,128
A secret society

191
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:53,461
What's the club called?

192
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,867
Um, well, that's
kind of a secret too.

193
00:13:57,937 --> 00:14:00,337
Oh, you mean the name
of the club is a secret?

194
00:14:00,406 --> 00:14:02,374
That's right.

195
00:14:02,442 --> 00:14:04,672
Yeah, they won't even tell us.

196
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:08,976
Do you have to wear those awful caps
night and day for a whole week?

197
00:14:09,048 --> 00:14:11,642
That oughta do it.

198
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:15,176
/, uh, think we’d better eat

199
00:14:25,665 --> 00:14:27,929
We sure fooled 'em,
didn't we, Wally?

200
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,901
Yeah, I guess we fooled 'em.
What's the matter?

201
00:14:32,171 --> 00:14:34,366
Well, I'm not so sure we fooled 'em.

202
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:36,574
Gee, they didn't say anything.

203
00:14:36,642 --> 00:14:39,440
Well, that's the way
they are sometimes.

204
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:43,073
You know, they go along
nice and easy and smiling,

205
00:14:43,149 --> 00:14:45,777
but all the while
they're getting ready to jump on you.

206
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:50,687
Gee, sometimes Mom and Dad
are pretty tricky, aren't they?

207
00:14:50,757 --> 00:14:53,317
No, they're not being tricky.

208
00:14:53,393 --> 00:14:56,362
They're just trying to be fair.

209
00:14:56,429 --> 00:14:58,727
And that's what
usually messes us up.

210
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,969
What do you suppose they're up to
with those skating caps?

211
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:07,802
I don't know,
but this secret society business
sounds pretty fishy to me.

212
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:11,105
Mm. Funny hats,
initiation, secret names.

213
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:16,046
Yeah, you have to be an adult
to be silly enough
to join something like that.

214
00:15:18,551 --> 00:15:23,147
Ward, do you suppose those hats
have anything to do with the haircut
the Beaver was supposed to get?

215
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:25,315
That's just exactly
what I suppose.

216
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:27,325
He probably lost the money,
didn't get the haircut,

217
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:31,489
then they cooked up
this secret society business
to cover up.

218
00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:33,657
What are we gonna do about it?
Do?

219
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:36,065
Well, I'm gonna go right upstairs
and make him take that cap off.

220
00:15:36,135 --> 00:15:39,298
Ward, you can't do that.
After all, if there is a secret club,

221
00:15:39,372 --> 00:15:42,569
that would be
a terrible thing to do.

222
00:15:42,642 --> 00:15:45,304
Yeah, I guess you're right.

223
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:48,541
Can't just violate their privacy.

224
00:15:49,982 --> 00:15:51,916
I tell you what we could do.

225
00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:54,145
We could, uh—
We could wait till they're asleep,

226
00:15:54,220 --> 00:15:58,418
and then sneak up
and peek under
the Beaver's stocking cap.

227
00:15:58,491 --> 00:16:01,051
Then if we're wrong,
there's no harm done.

228
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:04,187
Ward, wouldn't that be
downright sneaky?
Sure it would.

229
00:16:04,263 --> 00:16:06,857
It's the only way
we can survive as parents.

230
00:16:41,567 --> 00:16:45,298
Ward, let me see.
Uh, I think it's better
if you don't look.

231
00:16:45,371 --> 00:16:48,306
Ward, I want to see.

232
00:16:48,374 --> 00:16:50,308
All right.

233
00:16:54,914 --> 00:16:56,848
Aah!

234
00:17:09,095 --> 00:17:13,031
It's all right.
Come on, don't worry about it.

235
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:16,830
It'll be all right.
There you go.

236
00:17:16,903 --> 00:17:19,201
You feel better now?

237
00:17:19,272 --> 00:17:21,866
Did you see my little baby?

238
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:25,377
My poor little
baldheaded angel.

239
00:17:25,444 --> 00:17:28,436
No wonder
I couIdn't find my scissors.

240
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:31,506
Well, well, it'll grow back.

241
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:34,712
Oh, yes, but not in time
for the school play.

242
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:38,723
Ward, we're gonna be disgraced.
We'll just have to send him
away somewhere.

243
00:17:38,791 --> 00:17:40,884
Well, it's bad enough
about the play,

244
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,953
But I don't like him
trying to get away
with something like this.

245
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:48,762
Boy, when I was a kid,
my father would have
whaled the tar out of me.

246
00:17:48,834 --> 00:17:50,768
Now, Ward!

247
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:54,272
Well, don't worry.
I'm not going to resort
to physical violence.

248
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:57,366
I'm tempted though.
What are we going to do?

249
00:17:58,844 --> 00:18:01,244
Well, I guess there's nothing
we can do,

250
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:05,444
except lay our cards on the table
and give them a chance
to tell the truth.

251
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:07,452
Mm.

252
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,785
Well, come on.
It's time to turn in.

253
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:13,120
Oh!
June, what's the matter?

254
00:18:13,192 --> 00:18:15,490
I just thought of his head again.

255
00:18:16,629 --> 00:18:18,563
Come on.

256
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:42,921
Morning, boys.

257
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,757
Boys, I wanna talk to you.

258
00:18:58,204 --> 00:19:02,607
Now, Beaver, yesterday I gave you
$ 7.75 to get a haircut

259
00:19:02,675 --> 00:19:04,700
Is that right?
Yes, sir.

260
00:19:04,777 --> 00:19:07,337
— Did you get a haircut?
—I sure did.

261
00:19:08,547 --> 00:19:12,005
— At the barbershop?
— I went to the barbershop.

262
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:14,143
Did you get a haircut there?

263
00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:17,322
I got a haircut, all right.

264
00:19:18,724 --> 00:19:22,820
[Clears Throat]
Beaver, did you get a haircut
at the barbershop?

265
00:19:24,697 --> 00:19:27,598
I went to the barbershop,
and then I got a haircut.

266
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,601
Beaver, take ofi' that cap!

267
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:32,832
I can't.
It's 'itiation for the secret club.

268
00:19:36,108 --> 00:19:39,077
—Tell 'em, Wally.
— There is no secret club.

269
00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:41,079
Please remove that cap.

270
00:19:46,419 --> 00:19:48,853
[Gasps]

271
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:52,614
All right, Beaver,

272
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:57,720
is this the haircut
the barber gave you
at the barbershop yesterday?

273
00:19:57,797 --> 00:20:01,255
No, sir.
Did you give yourself
this haircut?

274
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,961
Excuse me.

275
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:07,528
[Clears Throat]
I said...

276
00:20:07,606 --> 00:20:10,404
did you give yourself
this haircut?

277
00:20:13,245 --> 00:20:15,179
Not 'xactly.

278
00:20:16,582 --> 00:20:18,607
Wally, what do you know
about this haircut?

279
00:20:18,684 --> 00:20:21,517
Um,well I, I think
it'll grow back in a week.

280
00:20:23,889 --> 00:20:26,221
[Clears Throat]
I'm very sorry, boys,

281
00:20:26,292 --> 00:20:30,922
but this time I'm really
going to have to punish you.

282
00:20:30,996 --> 00:20:34,864
Beaver, it would have been
very easy for me to forgive you
If you had just stood up and said,

283
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:37,926
"Dad, I lost my money,
and Wally gave me the haircut."

284
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:42,365
Dad, I lost the money,
and Wally gave me the haircut.

285
00:20:44,777 --> 00:20:48,406
[Clears Throat]
I'm sorry, but it's too late
for that now.

286
00:20:53,452 --> 00:20:57,149
You better both go up to your room
and wait there, while your mother and I
decide what to do about this.

287
00:21:07,533 --> 00:21:12,163
[Sighs]
I just cannot understand it.

288
00:21:13,606 --> 00:21:16,769
I have tried so hard
to win their confidence,

289
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:19,106
to prove to them
that I'm on their side.

290
00:21:19,178 --> 00:21:21,442
Why should they lie to me?
Certainly it isn't my fault.

291
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:26,315
It certainly is.
No man has ever tried harder
to be a buddy to— to—

292
00:21:29,421 --> 00:21:32,879
What did you say?
It certainly is
your fault and mine.

293
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:37,258
Why, don't you realize
what a spot we put him on?
Oh, that's ridiculous.

294
00:21:37,329 --> 00:21:39,320
Put yourself in his place.

295
00:21:39,398 --> 00:21:41,628
He loses his lunch money
three days in a row.

296
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:45,602
And then after being warned
that this is his last chance,
he loses his haircut money.

297
00:21:45,671 --> 00:21:47,866
Naturally he's afraid
to tell us.

298
00:21:47,940 --> 00:21:51,967
What's so natural about it?
Are we monsters?
Do we hit him? Do we beat him?

299
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:56,606
Ward, the only guide
the little fellow has is the love
and approval of his parents.

300
00:21:56,682 --> 00:21:59,310
Now, if he thinks he's lost that,
it's worse than a beating.

301
00:22:03,055 --> 00:22:05,888
Well, I don't know.

302
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:10,793
Look. He was afraid to
tell us the truth, wasn't he?
Yeah.

303
00:22:10,863 --> 00:22:13,491
Who's frightening him
If it isn't you and me?

304
00:22:15,868 --> 00:22:18,894
I guess that's one of the troubles
with being a parent.

305
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:21,633
You love your kids so much,
you scare the pants off of 'em.

306
00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:29,645
You know something, Wally?
What?

307
00:22:30,716 --> 00:22:34,846
I think we would have got away
with that secret club
if we had a name for it.

308
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,854
Cut it out.

309
00:22:41,193 --> 00:22:43,627
What do you think
they're gonna do to us?

310
00:22:43,696 --> 00:22:48,724
I don't know.
You should have told them
in the first place you lost your money.

311
00:22:48,801 --> 00:22:51,326
Yeah, then we wouldn't be
in this mess.

312
00:22:51,403 --> 00:22:54,600
Yeah, we.

313
00:22:54,673 --> 00:22:58,200
[Sighs]
Why did I have to go and help you?

314
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:03,340
I'm glad you did.
It's a lot better being in a mess
with somebody else.

315
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:07,912
[Footsteps Approaching]

316
00:23:07,987 --> 00:23:10,455
Uh—oh, here they come.
Yeah, here they come.

317
00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:28,397
I, uh, brought you the comics.
Thanks, Dad.

318
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:35,271
Your father and I, well,
we've been talking over
this haircut business.

319
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:38,214
And, uh, we decided
not to punish you.

320
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:42,210
You're not gonna punish us?

321
00:23:42,288 --> 00:23:45,815
[Ward]
That’s right
H ow com e?

322
00:23:45,891 --> 00:23:48,052
Well, for a lot of reasons, Beaver,

323
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:51,221
but mainly because
we want you to feel...

324
00:23:51,297 --> 00:23:53,629
that you can come to me
or to your mother...

325
00:23:53,699 --> 00:23:58,830
at any time with any problem,
and we'll understand.

326
00:23:58,904 --> 00:24:02,237
Now, come on. Let's get dressed.
We're gonna go out for breakfast.

327
00:24:02,308 --> 00:24:04,868
That's great, Dad.

328
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:07,071
Yeah, that's great, Dad.

329
00:24:08,247 --> 00:24:11,478
And, uh, afterwards,
we might even take in a movie.

330
00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:15,119
Mm—mm!

331
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:25,722
You think it's a trick, Wally?

332
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:29,598
No. You just can't ever
figure 'em out, that's all.

333
00:24:31,403 --> 00:24:34,372
You know something though, Wally?
What?

334
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,567
I Like 'em.

335
00:24:36,642 --> 00:24:38,837
Me too.
Come on, let's get dressed.

00:24:46,385 --> 00:24:52,255
