00:00:24,458 --> 00:00:28,189
[Ward Narrating]
When you were a boy, you formed
attachments for all sorts of things:

2
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:32,198
a pet, or a new and exciting toy.

3
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:35,827
But somewhere along the line,
something very special happened to you.

4
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:38,872
You got your first schoolboy crush.

5
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:42,272
And that's our story for tonight
on Leave It To Beaver.

6
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:49,515
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

7
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,123
Starring Barbara Billingsley
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

8
00:00:59,192 --> 00:01:02,628
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

9
00:01:10,437 --> 00:01:13,429
Hurry up, Wally.
You're gonna be late for school.

10
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,502
Bye, Mom.
I'll be home right after school.
And Beaver spilled ink on my desk.

11
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:26,876
Beaver.
[Door Closes]

12
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:32,448
Bye, Mom. I love you.
And Wally spilled ink all over his desk.

13
00:01:37,164 --> 00:01:39,928
Mom.
Anything wrong?

14
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,696
— I wanna ask you something.
—Yes.7

15
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:44,600
When do I get to be grown up?

16
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:50,337
Well, you're growing, but, well,
I'd say it could take a little while
before you're really grown up.

17
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:53,504
When were you grown up?
Oh, I guess when I was about 18.

18
00:01:54,848 --> 00:01:57,282
Is that when you married Dad?

19
00:01:57,351 --> 00:01:59,615
Well, I'd say it was a little later.

20
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:05,357
I guess it's gonna be a while
till I'm 18 and a little later.
Thanks anyways. Bye.

21
00:02:07,661 --> 00:02:09,595
[Sighs]

22
00:02:12,699 --> 00:02:15,167
The boys are getting off
a little late this morning, aren't they?

23
00:02:15,235 --> 00:02:20,571
Well, the Beaver had some
very deep questions to ask about
growing up and getting married.

24
00:02:20,641 --> 00:02:25,510
Well, I hope she's a nice girl.
Oh, Ward. He couldn't be
interested in a girl at his age.

25
00:02:25,579 --> 00:02:27,809
I don't know about that.
Second grade.

26
00:02:27,881 --> 00:02:33,717
A boy can get an awful crush
on a cute little thing with pigtails
and a turned—up nose.

27
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:38,289
Did you?
Did I what?

28
00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:42,260
Get a crush on a cute little thing
with pigtails and a turned—up nose?
Of course not.

29
00:02:42,329 --> 00:02:45,560
It was the eighth grade.
She had braces on her teeth
and a platinum blonde pageboy.

30
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:48,601
The combination was irresistible.
Oh.

31
00:02:50,771 --> 00:02:56,607
Oh, Ward. Wouldn't it be cute
if the Beaver really did have a crush
on some little girl in his class?

32
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:19,727
Well, that's just fine, Beaver.

33
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,633
You've been such a big help.
Thank you so much.

34
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:29,870
Do you want me to empty out
your wastepaper basket, Miss Canfield?

35
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:32,707
Well, you just emptied it.

36
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,939
I thought you might have
“threwn” something else in it.

37
00:03:36,016 --> 00:03:40,544
No, I haven't thrown anything else in it.
Thank you just the same.

38
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:48,149
Uh, well, Beaver,
you could put these books
on the desk for tomorrow.

39
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:50,219
I have to take this down the hall.

40
00:03:50,297 --> 00:03:52,424
Yes, Miss Canfield.

41
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:11,917
What are you doing, Beaver?

42
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:15,182
Handing out these books
for Miss Canfield.
What are you doing that for?

43
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:18,281
He's doing that 'cause
he's the teacher's pet.

44
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:22,317
—I am not the teacher's pet.
— Then why are you doing it?

45
00:04:22,395 --> 00:04:25,956
Yeah, then why are you doing it
if you're not the teacher's pet?

46
00:04:29,102 --> 00:04:33,596
Did she make you
bring her down the ice cream
from the cafeteria yesterday?

47
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:35,800
You're the teacher's pet, all right.

48
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:39,778
I am not.
I hardly don't like her at all.

49
00:04:41,081 --> 00:04:43,106
Prove it.

50
00:04:44,584 --> 00:04:46,848
What do you mean?

51
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,616
Go ahead, prove it.
Put this in her desk.

52
00:04:55,028 --> 00:04:57,622
I wouldn't put anything like that
in Miss Canfield's desk.

53
00:04:57,697 --> 00:04:59,631
You see? You do like her.

54
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:02,293
You're chicken, Beaver.
You're chicken.

55
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:10,576
All right.
I'll put it in her desk.

56
00:05:24,891 --> 00:05:28,554
Boy, when that jumps out at her,
she might even faint.

57
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,961
You're all right, Beaver.
Isn't he all right?

58
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:35,195
Yeah, he's all right.
He's not chicken.

59
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:37,202
Boy, you're sure not chicken, Beaver.

60
00:05:38,872 --> 00:05:41,102
Well, I told you guys I wasn't chicken.

61
00:05:46,646 --> 00:05:48,580
See you tomorrow, Beaver

62
00:05:48,648 --> 00:05:51,310
[Beaver]
Yeah. So long guys.
Bye, see you

63
00:05:57,691 --> 00:06:01,593
Are you still here, Beaver?
Yeah, I guess so, Miss Canfield.

64
00:06:01,661 --> 00:06:04,391
You better get on home.
Your mother will be worried about you.

65
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:08,628
But, Miss Canfield—
Beaver, you've been such a big help
to me these past few weeks.

66
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:12,365
I really appreciate it.
That's okay.

67
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:19,208
Miss Canfield, are you gonna be
doing any more work at your desk?
No.

68
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,611
I'm leaving.
I have an appointment.

69
00:06:21,681 --> 00:06:24,650
Yeah, I think I'll stick
around here for a little while.

70
00:06:28,021 --> 00:06:30,683
I guess I got a 'pointment too.

71
00:06:41,167 --> 00:06:45,263
Beaver, would you please chew
with your mouth closed?

72
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:47,272
I can't, Dad.

73
00:06:47,340 --> 00:06:49,934
When I close my mouth,
there's no room to move my teeth.

74
00:06:55,015 --> 00:06:57,575
Well, do the best you can.

75
00:06:58,885 --> 00:07:01,877
Wally, how'd everything
go at school today?

76
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:04,583
Well, I went out for the track team.
I didn't make it though.

77
00:07:04,658 --> 00:07:07,058
— Why not?
— Well, I was near the end of the line...

78
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:09,823
and by the time they got to me,
they'd run out of shoes.

79
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,199
Well, that's too bad.

80
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:18,328
Maybe you should try out for the
swimming team. No shoe problem there.
[Chuckles]

81
00:07:26,313 --> 00:07:28,838
Well, uh, Theodore,
uh, how about you?

82
00:07:28,915 --> 00:07:33,284
Your mother tells me you got home
fl'om school late again today
Yes, sir.

83
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:38,049
There must be some attraction
keeping you at school.

84
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:41,289
What's a 'traction?

85
00:07:41,361 --> 00:07:46,025
Well, uh, could be a cute little thing
with a turned—up nose.

86
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:47,828
No, sir.

87
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:51,497
Why don't you boys ever
wanna tell me anything?

88
00:07:51,571 --> 00:07:54,734
I'm really interested in knowing
what goes on at school.

89
00:07:54,808 --> 00:07:56,799
Well, nothing ever
goes on at school, Dad.

90
00:07:56,876 --> 00:07:59,140
Oh, now, Wally,
I can hardly believe that.

91
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:02,909
We||,you go in the morning,
and if you done your homework,
it's all right.

92
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:06,350
If you haven't, they holler at you.
That's all there is to school.

93
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:13,154
— Can I be excused?
— I guess so.

94
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:15,660
— Me too?
— Sure.

95
00:08:19,265 --> 00:08:23,861
If you've done your homework, it's okay.
If you haven't, they holler at you.
That's all there is to school.

96
00:08:23,937 --> 00:08:28,397
Ward, what do you suppose
is bothering the Beaver?

97
00:08:28,475 --> 00:08:30,409
He sat there with such a faraway look.

98
00:08:30,477 --> 00:08:33,378
Yeah, I noticed that.
Maybe we better have his eyes checked.

99
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:36,415
Well, it must be something at school.

100
00:08:36,483 --> 00:08:39,816
I wonder if I should call his teacher
and ask her if there's anything we can do.

101
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:42,821
Oh, no, no, don't do that.
We did that with Wally's math teacher...

102
00:08:42,889 --> 00:08:45,255
and got into that horrible mess
about fractions.

103
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:50,055
You're right.
Well, it's probably nothing serious.

104
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:52,064
After all, what could he have done?

105
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:56,125
Beave, you put a snake
in Miss Canfield's desk?

106
00:08:56,202 --> 00:08:58,693
Oh, boy.
Wait till it jumps out at her.

107
00:08:59,706 --> 00:09:02,072
It's not a live one.
It's only a spring snake.

108
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:05,243
Oh.

109
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,339
Well, that's still pretty neat.

110
00:09:09,416 --> 00:09:11,384
You know, you're not
as creepy as I thought.

111
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:16,082
— Thanks, Wally.
— You know, some of the kids said
you were the teacher's pet.

112
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:20,218
The kids made me put it in there.
I didn't want to.

113
00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:22,989
What are you worrying about?
She likes you.

114
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:25,896
You 'll be the last one she’ll blame.

115
00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:28,957
Yeah, but I still wish
I hadn't put it in there.

116
00:09:34,007 --> 00:09:36,237
Wait a minute.

117
00:09:39,646 --> 00:09:41,580
You mean the kids are right?

118
00:09:41,648 --> 00:09:44,139
You do like Miss Canfield?

119
00:09:44,217 --> 00:09:47,846
She's all right.
Boy, I wouldn't think
Of liking my teacher.

120
00:09:49,022 --> 00:09:52,116
Yeah, but Miss Canfield's
a lot prettier than Mr. Bloomgarten.

121
00:09:54,627 --> 00:09:56,822
Yeah, I guess she is at that.

122
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,859
Wally, I'm not a teacher's pet.

123
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:07,429
But I gotta get that snake
out of her desk before she finds it.

124
00:10:07,507 --> 00:10:09,805
What do you mean?
The only way a guy could do that...

125
00:10:09,876 --> 00:10:12,709
would be to sneak in there
tonight and get it.

126
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:15,441
Boy, you're sunk.

127
00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:22,988
Where do you think you're going?

128
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:27,186
I gotta go get that snake
out of Miss Canfield's desk.
You wanna come with me?

129
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:31,560
Are you kidding? If Mr. Johnson
the washman caught us, he'd kill us.

130
00:10:31,631 --> 00:10:35,032
Yeah. So long, Wally.

131
00:10:43,009 --> 00:10:48,208
Now, wait a minute.
You're not gonna go off and
get yourself killed and get me in trouble.

132
00:10:49,716 --> 00:10:52,776
I'll go with you.
Would you, Wally?

133
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:56,185
Sure. If you're gonna sneak in there,
I gotta see that you do it right.

134
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:05,825
Oh. Oh, good evening,
Mr.Johnson.

135
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:08,925
Good evening, Mrs. Rayburn.
Working a little late this evening?

136
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:12,028
Yes, with tests coming on and all.

137
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,039
Yeah, it's almost 10:00.

138
00:11:14,107 --> 00:11:17,270
That's practically the middle
of the morning for me.
[Chuckling]

139
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:21,803
It must be lonesome
For you here at night.
Oh, no. I'm used to it.

140
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:24,714
Anyhow, I brought a friend
with me this evening.

141
00:11:24,784 --> 00:11:26,843
A friend?
Yes.

142
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,854
Oh, little rascal.

143
00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:30,947
[Whistles]
Here, boy.

144
00:11:34,994 --> 00:11:38,157
That's a good boy, Alfred.
I thought it might be a good idea...

145
00:11:38,231 --> 00:11:41,064
If I left Alfred here
when I went out for coffee.

146
00:11:41,134 --> 00:11:44,729
Well, I'm sure the school
will be safe in Alfred's hands.

147
00:11:44,804 --> 00:11:47,272
Or should we say “paws“?
[Chuckling]

148
00:11:57,116 --> 00:12:01,075
Uh, dear, don't you think
you better get the boys to bed?
It's after 9:30.

149
00:12:01,154 --> 00:12:05,488
They came down about a half
an hour ago and said good night.
Said they were pretty tired.

150
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:09,153
Oh? Did you ever find out
what was bothering the Beaver?

151
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:12,130
No, I guess whatever it was,
he's forgotten.

152
00:12:12,198 --> 00:12:14,860
Well, that's one good thing
about being their age.

153
00:12:14,934 --> 00:12:17,425
Your troubles never
interfere with your sleep.

154
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:23,341
Gee, we got in easy.

155
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:26,936
I told you Mr.Johnson
always leaves the door open
when he goes out for coffee.

156
00:12:32,852 --> 00:12:35,343
That Mr.Johnson isn't much
of a watchman, is he?

157
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:39,016
He doesn't have to be.
Who'd wanna get into a school?

158
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:43,256
Come on, let's get down
to your classroom.

159
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:59,843
Wally. I don't like school
much in the daytime.

160
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:02,847
But I really don't like it at night.
Shh, come on.

161
00:13:05,885 --> 00:13:08,547
[Growling]

162
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:12,057
Wally.
What?

163
00:13:12,125 --> 00:13:14,719
Was that your stomach rumbling?

164
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:18,457
No.
It wasn't mine either.

165
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:21,959
I guess it was nothing.

166
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:28,968
— [Growling]
— That nothing sure sounds like something.

167
00:13:29,042 --> 00:13:31,272
You think it's a dog?

168
00:13:31,344 --> 00:13:34,711
I sure hope it's a dog.
I sure hope it's a little dog.

169
00:13:36,049 --> 00:13:37,983
Whatever it is,
it's right around the corner.

170
00:13:38,051 --> 00:13:40,246
You better take a look, Wally.

171
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:47,181
[Growling]

172
00:13:48,227 --> 00:13:50,161
It's a dog.

173
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:56,863
[Growling, Barks]

174
00:13:56,936 --> 00:13:58,995
It sure is a lot of dog.

175
00:13:59,072 --> 00:14:01,199
Maybe he's friendly.

176
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,518
Come on, get up.
Again?

177
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:18,523
Shh.

178
00:14:23,763 --> 00:14:28,598
Uh,June, I think I'd like a glass
of hot milk before we go to bed.

179
00:14:28,668 --> 00:14:32,434
All right, dear. I'll get it for you
in a minute. I'm going up
to check on the boys now.

180
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,310
[Door Opens]

181
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,629
Good heavens.

182
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:10,574
Ward! Ward!

183
00:15:11,711 --> 00:15:15,272
Ward! Ward!

184
00:15:15,348 --> 00:15:18,647
Ward, the boys, the boys!
Calm down, dear.
What about the boys?

185
00:15:18,718 --> 00:15:21,278
They're not up there.
Their beds are full
of books and pillows.

186
00:15:21,354 --> 00:15:23,379
Are you sure?
Yes, they've run away.

187
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:25,947
Well, we'd better see about this.

188
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:28,016
Oh, come on.

189
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,791
Where do you suppose they
could've gone at this time of night?
Dear, I haven't the faintest idea.

190
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:35,197
Their beds are full of boxes and pillows.

191
00:15:52,185 --> 00:15:56,349
Well, they weren't here a minute ago.
There were just books and pillows.

192
00:15:56,422 --> 00:16:01,052
Dear, I think we'd both
better have a glass of hot milk
and go to bed, huh?

193
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:07,956
Ward, I tell you,
they weren't there a minute ago.

194
00:16:08,034 --> 00:16:11,526
Darling, I don't doubt it.
Kids do sneak out at night, you know.

195
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:13,936
Well, don't you think you ought
to speak to them about it?

196
00:16:14,006 --> 00:16:17,669
Well, yeah, but not right now.
I'll find just the right moment.

197
00:16:19,677 --> 00:16:19,745
Don't worry about it.

198
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:22,305
I'm sure it's perfectly harmless.

199
00:16:22,381 --> 00:16:26,750
I used to sneak out at night.
I used to go out looking
for night crawlers...

200
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:29,845
or borrowing apples
off the neighbors' tree...

201
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:32,652
or-or-

202
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:37,253
Or looking for the cute
little thing with the braces
and the platinum blonde pageboy?

203
00:16:39,131 --> 00:16:43,329
Uh, darling, at their age,
I'm sure night crawlers
have a lot more appeal.

204
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:55,447
Wally, I just looked in the classroom.
Miss Canfield's already there.

205
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:58,211
Which drawer did you say
you put the snake in?

206
00:16:58,284 --> 00:17:00,309
It's the left one on the top.

207
00:17:00,386 --> 00:17:04,015
Well, then,
all you gotta do is keep her
from opening that drawer.

208
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:06,957
Sure, that's all I gotta do.

209
00:17:08,761 --> 00:17:11,252
How am I gonna do that, Wally?

210
00:17:11,330 --> 00:17:13,696
Look, I'm late for my class.
I gave you a good idea.

211
00:17:13,766 --> 00:17:17,258
Now it's up to you to figure out
how you're gonna do it.
[Bell Ringing]

212
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:35,948
Now if you'll all open the pads,
I want to show you—

213
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:38,422
Where's that ruler of mine?

214
00:17:38,491 --> 00:17:40,755
I think it's in your desk, Miss Canfield.

215
00:17:40,826 --> 00:17:42,760
Oh.

216
00:17:42,828 --> 00:17:46,127
— Miss Canfield!
— Yes, Beaver?

217
00:17:48,801 --> 00:17:52,897
— Could I be excused?
— Well, of course, Beaver.

218
00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:59,577
— [Bell Rings]
— Recess, children.

219
00:18:16,963 --> 00:18:20,421
Theodore. Well, aren't you
having lunch in the cafeteria?

220
00:18:20,499 --> 00:18:22,967
Uh, I already “eated.”

221
00:18:23,035 --> 00:18:27,199
Oh, you really shouldn't eat so fast.

222
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,366
Yes, Mrs. Rayburn.

223
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:32,775
Have you seen Miss Canfield's
attendance report?

224
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:34,779
No, Mrs. Rayburn.

225
00:18:34,847 --> 00:18:37,839
Well, it must be here
someplace.

226
00:18:42,421 --> 00:18:45,549
Oh, well, here it is.

227
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:52,224
Why, Theodore,
you must've eaten much too fast.

228
00:18:52,298 --> 00:18:54,926
Why, you look positively green.

229
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:57,128
I feel all right.

230
00:18:57,203 --> 00:18:59,865
Oh, you better come along with me.

231
00:18:59,939 --> 00:19:02,601
We'll have the nurse
give you something.

232
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,314
Hurry up, children.
We only have a few more minutes.

233
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:20,986
Psst.

234
00:19:25,765 --> 00:19:28,825
— Yes, Whitey?
— Could I borrow your ruler?

235
00:19:28,901 --> 00:19:30,766
Of course.

236
00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:33,930
Ow!

237
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:36,099
Judy, what's going on?

238
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,507
The Beaver pulled my hair.

239
00:19:38,577 --> 00:19:41,239
Well, Beaver, did you do that?

240
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:47,245
Yes, Miss Canfield.
I pulled her hair, all right.

241
00:19:47,319 --> 00:19:52,757
— Just why?
— Well, because, uh—

242
00:19:52,825 --> 00:19:54,986
[Bell Ringing]

243
00:19:55,061 --> 00:19:57,962
The rest of the class,
hand in your papers.

244
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,021
Theodore Cleaver,
you stay after school.

245
00:20:34,366 --> 00:20:36,960
[Miss Canfield]
It's not there, Beaver

246
00:20:37,036 --> 00:20:38,970
What's not there, Miss Canfield?

247
00:20:45,411 --> 00:20:47,345
Is this what you're looking for?

248
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:51,747
Uh... yes, Miss Canfield.

249
00:20:51,817 --> 00:20:53,910
Did you put this in my desk, Beaver?

250
00:20:55,755 --> 00:20:57,245
Yes, Miss Canfield.

251
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,260
Why did you do this, Beaver?
I thought we liked each other.

252
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,698
That's why I did it.

253
00:21:06,766 --> 00:21:09,360
The kids called me teacher's pet.

254
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:14,736
Oh, they made fun of you,
and you wanted to prove you weren't.

255
00:21:15,908 --> 00:21:17,899
Kinda, sorta.

256
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,672
Gee, I hope it didn't
scare you too much.

257
00:21:22,748 --> 00:21:26,479
Well, I've been teaching second grade
for about six months now.

258
00:21:26,552 --> 00:21:28,486
|wasn't as frightened
as I might have been.

259
00:21:29,822 --> 00:21:32,552
I'm awfully sorry, Miss Canfield.

260
00:21:32,625 --> 00:21:34,559
I really like you a whole lots.

261
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:37,960
Well, I'm very fond of you too, Beaver.

262
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:40,157
But I'm afraid I made a mistake.

263
00:21:41,567 --> 00:21:45,401
— Do teachers make mistakes?
— Oh, indeed they do.

264
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:50,204
I think it must have seemed
to the other children as though
I was showing favoritism.

265
00:21:50,276 --> 00:21:53,040
We can't have that, can we, Beaver?

266
00:21:53,112 --> 00:21:55,444
No, Miss Canfield.

267
00:21:57,249 --> 00:21:59,183
Does this mean
|can't like you anymore?

268
00:21:59,251 --> 00:22:01,310
Well, of course not.

269
00:22:02,621 --> 00:22:04,555
I'm sure glad of that.

270
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:08,150
Well, Beaver,
it couldn't be that important.

271
00:22:09,495 --> 00:22:11,429
But it is.

272
00:22:11,497 --> 00:22:14,193
I asked my mom this morning
when I could marry you.

273
00:22:16,836 --> 00:22:19,100
Oh.

274
00:22:19,171 --> 00:22:23,870
Uh, but, Beaver, I'm quite a bit
older than you are.

275
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:26,537
My mom says I'm growing up.

276
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:30,104
Well, of course you are.

277
00:22:30,182 --> 00:22:32,116
And, uh, well...

278
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:35,950
I'm sure before long you'll like
some nice little girl your own age.

279
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:39,957
I don't think so, Miss Canfield.

280
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:42,357
Little girls don't smell
as nice as you do.

281
00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:48,030
Oh, that's a very nice
compliment, Beaver.

282
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,034
But I hope you'll remember what I said.

283
00:22:52,538 --> 00:22:55,098
I'll try.

284
00:23:01,347 --> 00:23:05,681
Beaver, I think it will be all right
If you don't finish those sentences.

285
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:08,652
Oh, no, Miss Canfield.
You can't show any favoritism.

286
00:23:19,832 --> 00:23:24,201
Uh,June, uh, I think now
might be a good time for me...

287
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:26,568
to talk to the boys about last night.

288
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:29,574
They really shouldn't be sneaking out
without our knowing it.

289
00:23:29,642 --> 00:23:32,873
Dear, I don't think
it'll happen again.

290
00:23:32,945 --> 00:23:35,277
Miss Canfield called me today.

291
00:23:36,282 --> 00:23:39,274
It wasn't night crawlers or apples.

292
00:23:39,351 --> 00:23:42,343
It seems the Beaver's
in love with Miss Canfield.

293
00:23:44,023 --> 00:23:46,389
Are you serious?
Uh-huh.

294
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:49,450
Honey, maybe you ought to talk to him,
kind of help straighten him out.

295
00:23:49,528 --> 00:23:54,022
Well, the trouble is,
I don't really know what to say.

296
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:59,196
Oh, he'll get over it in time, I'm sure.
I suppose so.

297
00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:03,105
— Wally.
— What is it, Beave?

298
00:24:04,376 --> 00:24:07,038
Did you ever like somebody
that was grown up?

299
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:09,273
Sure. I like Mom and Dad.

300
00:24:10,749 --> 00:24:12,683
I mean like Miss Canfield.

301
00:24:14,853 --> 00:24:17,879
Well—

302
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:20,357
Well, what?

303
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:22,360
You remember Miss Hildebrand?

304
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:28,462
That lady that lived next to us
when we were up at the lake?

305
00:24:28,534 --> 00:24:32,630
Yeah, I used to row her
across the lake to get the mail.

306
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:36,837
— You liked her?
— A whole lot.

307
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:41,207
But, Wally, she married
the man that smoked a pipe.

308
00:24:42,381 --> 00:24:44,542
I know.

309
00:24:48,253 --> 00:24:52,917
Wally, that girl up at the lake,
did you ever really get over her?

310
00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:57,722
You promise not to tell anybody?

311
00:24:57,796 --> 00:24:59,991
I promise I won't tell nobody.

312
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,062
No, Beaver,
I never got over her.

313
00:25:06,739 --> 00:25:10,869
You know something?
I don't think I'm ever gonna
get over Miss Canfield either.
