00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:28,351
[Ward Narrating]
To a boy, his father often seems stern
and forbidding

2
00:00:28,428 --> 00:00:33,024
He might even be unfair enough
to make you rake the lawn
when you wanted to play ball

3
00:00:33,100 --> 00:00:37,298
But once in awhile,
you’re surprised to learn
he ’s actually on your side.

4
00:00:37,371 --> 00:00:40,636
And that’s our story tonight
on Leave It To Beaver.

5
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,347
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

6
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:56,889
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

7
00:00:57,958 --> 00:01:01,394
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

8
00:01:07,067 --> 00:01:09,865
Is that you, darling?
No, it's your husband.

9
00:01:11,204 --> 00:01:13,138
What's for supper?

10
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:16,505
Steak and mushrooms,
corn on the cob, lima beans
and Waldorf salad.

11
00:01:16,577 --> 00:01:18,568
Mmm.

12
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:23,847
All right, dear, what did you buy,
break or lose?

13
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:27,416
I was gonna tell you
over the Boston cream pie,

14
00:01:27,487 --> 00:01:30,547
but seeing as my elaborate menu's
given me away—

15
00:01:30,624 --> 00:01:33,149
I have to leave
the first thing Saturday morning.

16
00:01:33,226 --> 00:01:35,160
Peggy had her baby Hum

17
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:37,560
Oh, a boy?
Girl.

18
00:01:37,631 --> 00:01:41,931
Oh.
I promised I'd go up
for a few days and help her out.

19
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:46,132
Well, that's fine for Peggy's baby,
but what about the two babies
you're leaving here?

20
00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:49,801
Three babies I'm leaving here.
Oh, thanks.

21
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:52,709
Oh, darling, you'll be all right.
Sure we will.

22
00:01:52,779 --> 00:01:56,340
Aunt Martha's gonna come
and stay with you till I get back.

23
00:01:57,351 --> 00:01:59,546
Aunt Martha?

24
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:02,885
Now, what's the matter
with my Aunt Martha?

25
00:02:02,956 --> 00:02:06,016
Well, nothing that you
can put your finger on.

26
00:02:06,093 --> 00:02:08,084
It's just that whenever
I'm in the room with her,

27
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:11,130
| feel like| should be
apologizing for something.
Oh.

28
00:02:11,198 --> 00:02:15,294
I got a great idea. Why doesn't
Aunt Martha go and help Peggy
and you stay here?

29
00:02:15,369 --> 00:02:20,636
Aunt Martha's never been married.
She doesn't know anything
about babies and things.

30
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:24,404
Someone must have explained
a few things to her
somewhere along the line.

31
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:28,745
Gee, Mom, the pie was good.
But do you have to go away?

32
00:02:28,815 --> 00:02:32,182
Yes, dear, I'm afraid I do.
You see, my sister Peggy had a baby.

33
00:02:32,252 --> 00:02:35,085
— Isn't that a wonderful surprise?
— But, Mom, if you're gonna be gone,

34
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:37,089
who's gonna take care
Of me and the Beaver?

35
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:41,253
Your Aunt Martha's gonna
come and stay with you.
Aunt Martha?

36
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:44,161
Is she the one with the husband
we're not supposed to talk about?

37
00:02:45,432 --> 00:02:48,265
No. That's one of
your father's relatives.

38
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:53,405
Is Aunt Martha the one that
sends us soap every Christmas?

39
00:02:53,473 --> 00:02:57,170
[Ward]
Oh, no. Aunt Martha understands
boys better than that

40
00:02:57,244 --> 00:03:00,008
She sends umbrellas.

41
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,378
Oh, yeah.
She's our umbrella aunt.

42
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:07,046
I 'member her.
She has birds on her hat.

43
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,054
That ’s right.
[Chuckling]

44
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,113
[Chuckling Stops]

45
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:16,124
Would you boys take your plates
out in the kitchen, please?
Okay, Mom.

46
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:22,124
They're nice birds though.

47
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:28,804
Ward, I didn't like that remark
about the umbrellas.

48
00:03:28,875 --> 00:03:31,605
When Aunt Martha's here,
I don't want you undermining her.

49
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:36,047
Why, dear, I've never been known
to go around undermining old ladies.

50
00:03:36,116 --> 00:03:38,584
Now, I know her ideas seem...

51
00:03:38,652 --> 00:03:41,553
old—fashioned and trying at times,
but she's very sensitive.

52
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:45,887
And I want you to see
that the boys obey her,
they're polite and on their best behavior.

53
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:50,794
June, believe me, I understand.
I've got problem relatives too.

54
00:03:50,864 --> 00:03:56,131
Now, wait a minute, June.
Of course I’m not gonna let
the boys be rude to her.

55
00:03:56,203 --> 00:04:01,140
We’ll do everything we can to make
her stay as pleasant as possible.

56
00:04:02,209 --> 00:04:06,111
If you want me to, I'll even have
the boys meet her at the airport
carrying their umbrellas.

57
00:04:16,156 --> 00:04:19,250
Well, I must say, Ward
you have a very nice place here.

58
00:04:19,326 --> 00:04:21,260
Very nice indeed.

59
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:25,622
You must be doing rather well... now.

60
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:32,166
Uh, well, we manage to stay
One jump ahead of the sheriff.
[Laughs]

61
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,766
The boys should be home
any minute now.

62
00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:39,073
They're looking forward
to seeing you again, Aunt Martha.

63
00:04:39,146 --> 00:04:42,604
Oh, they must be quite
the little gentlemen by now.

64
00:04:42,682 --> 00:04:45,651
I do hope they're getting
good use out of their umbrellas.

65
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:49,780
Oh, indeed they are.
They really look forward
to the rainy season.

66
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:54,154
I hope you're still considering
an eastern college.

67
00:04:55,762 --> 00:04:59,721
Well, we thought we'd think
about that when the time comes.

68
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,735
There's a certain polish
it gives a boy that—

69
00:05:02,803 --> 00:05:05,237
[Wally]
Hey, Mom, I’m home!
[Footsteps Running]

70
00:05:05,305 --> 00:05:08,069
Mom, could we
have something to eat?

71
00:05:10,577 --> 00:05:14,707
[Chuckles]
Uh, boys, this is your Aunt Martha.

72
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:16,715
You remember her, of course.

73
00:05:23,890 --> 00:05:26,688
Aunt Martha, this is Wally.

74
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,389
Wallace, I'd know you anywhere.

75
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,730
You certainly look like a Bronson.

76
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:38,066
Just like a Bronson.

77
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:40,265
[Chuckles]
Yeah.

78
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:43,673
And, uh, this is the Beaver.

79
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:46,940
“Beaver“? I thought your name
was Theodore.

80
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:48,913
Oh, I don't use it much.

81
00:05:48,982 --> 00:05:50,916
I didn't know how to pronounce it
until last year.

82
00:05:52,652 --> 00:05:55,746
Yeah. Uh, well, boys,
now that your Aunt Martha's here,

83
00:05:55,822 --> 00:05:57,756
suppose we take
her bags up to her room, huh?

84
00:05:57,824 --> 00:06:01,851
Okay, Dad.
Uh, nice to have met you,
Aunt Martha.

85
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:03,919
Thank you, Wallace.

86
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:08,325
Oh, yeah. Me too.
Theodore.

87
00:06:08,401 --> 00:06:10,392
[Chuckling]
Yes.

88
00:06:13,673 --> 00:06:16,164
[Whispering]
Hey, Dad, what's a Bronson?
Shh!

89
00:06:23,516 --> 00:06:26,314
Well, Aunt Martha,
would you like another cup of coffee?

90
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,878
No, dear. No.
Uh, no, Thank you.

91
00:06:31,358 --> 00:06:33,826
Did you notice a big change
in the boys?

92
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:36,226
Oh, yes.
They really have grown.

93
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:43,398
I suppose the older boy
has to wear those bluejeans.
Teenagers.

94
00:06:43,470 --> 00:06:46,405
Nothing to be done about that now.

95
00:06:46,473 --> 00:06:49,931
But I must say, little Theodore
was somewhat of a shock.

96
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:55,412
Well, I've tried to get those particular
trousers away from him several times,

97
00:06:55,482 --> 00:06:58,246
but he keeps getting them back
out of the Goodwill box.

98
00:07:00,553 --> 00:07:06,355
June, while you're gone,
I'd just love to take
little Theodore shopping.

99
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,361
I thought I could get him
something more, uh—

100
00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:14,332
Well, after all,
he's a Bronson too, you know.

101
00:07:14,401 --> 00:07:18,565
Oh, now, Aunt Martha,
it isn't necessary
to do anything like that.

102
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:20,663
Well, if you think I'm interfering—

103
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:24,141
Oh, no, no!
I didn't mean that at all.

104
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:26,940
It's really very sweet of you.

105
00:07:32,652 --> 00:07:35,382
Now, look, boys,
I'll be home at the end of the week.

106
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:39,118
Don't forget your baths.
And, Beaver, I put four pair
of clean socks in your top drawer,

107
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,217
and I don't want to find them there
when I get back.

108
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:43,694
Oh, no, Mom.
Hurry up, June.
We haven't got much time.

109
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:46,061
Just a minute.
I'm saying good—bye to the boys.

110
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:48,396
Mom, must you gotta go?

111
00:07:49,869 --> 00:07:52,099
Yes, Beaver, I'm afraid I do.

112
00:07:52,172 --> 00:07:55,039
You see, I'm gonna go and help
your Aunt Peggy.

113
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:57,838
— But while I'm away, you boys can help me.
— How, Mom?

114
00:07:57,911 --> 00:08:01,403
Well, I want you to do everything
Aunt Martha asks you to.

115
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:04,644
Even if she gives us milk toast
for breakfast again?

116
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:12,356
Now, look, boys, sometimes older people
have different ideas.

117
00:08:12,425 --> 00:08:15,121
You see, it’s been a long time
since they were young and—

118
00:08:15,195 --> 00:08:17,220
Well, they sort of forget
what it was like.

119
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:20,323
[Horn Honks]
But you just remember while I'm away...

120
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,860
that if you make Aunt Martha happy,
you'll make me happy.

121
00:08:24,938 --> 00:08:27,668
Okay, Mom.

122
00:08:27,741 --> 00:08:32,405
Okay, Mom. I'll make you happy,
I'll make Aunt Martha happy,
and I'll change my socks every day.

123
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,470
[Ward]
June!
[Horn Honks]

124
00:08:34,547 --> 00:08:37,345
Oh! Look, boys, I have to go.
Good—bye, Aunt Martha!

125
00:08:37,417 --> 00:08:39,510
Now, remember.
[Boys]
Bye, Mom.

126
00:08:39,586 --> 00:08:42,077
Now, don't worry about a thing.

127
00:08:44,224 --> 00:08:47,125
Well, Theodore, right after lunch,

128
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:50,959
you and I are going on
a little shopping tour.

129
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:56,093
Oh, boy, Wally!
You think I might get it?

130
00:08:56,169 --> 00:08:59,832
Get what?
The black leather jacket
with the eagle on the back.

131
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:20,220
Now, that's what I call
a real little gentleman.

132
00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:23,091
[Chuckles]

133
00:09:25,165 --> 00:09:28,157
Not many mothers nowadays
have such excellent taste.

134
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:30,395
Oh, I'm not his mother.

135
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:33,405
Uh—uh. My mother went to
have a baby with Aunt Peggy.

136
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:40,846
It's exquisite material.
English, isn't it?

137
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:43,747
Naturally, madam.

138
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,751
My knees are cold.

139
00:09:45,819 --> 00:09:49,585
When my brothers were your age,
they wore trousers like that
winter and summer.

140
00:09:49,656 --> 00:09:53,023
— Shall I send these, madam?
— I think not.

141
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:55,323
You may, uh, dispose of them.

142
00:09:56,629 --> 00:09:59,655
— I'd be delighted to, madam.
—Wait a minute.

143
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,791
I've got something in the pocket.

144
00:10:03,269 --> 00:10:07,535
— Good heavens! What is that?
— Just a dead goldfish.

145
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,041
Me and Wally are gonna
give it a funeral.

146
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:14,278
Uh, yes.
You may make out
a bill for those.

147
00:10:14,347 --> 00:10:16,975
Yes, madam.

148
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:22,317
Theodore, I think you look very nice.
[Chuckles]

149
00:10:22,388 --> 00:10:26,722
I feel funny, almost like
I have no clothes on at all.

150
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:29,023
We mustn't be indelicate.

151
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:35,834
We're not going back on the bus,
are we?

152
00:10:35,902 --> 00:10:40,066
No, we'd be late for supper.
I think we'll take a taxi.

153
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:42,131
[Sigh Of Relief]

154
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:47,805
Beave, you're kiddin'!
No, I'm not.
Aunt Martha bought it for me.

155
00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:51,214
Boy, get a load of them knees.

156
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:57,487
You look like a chicken
with all his feathers off.

157
00:10:59,092 --> 00:11:02,084
Do I look that bad, Wally?
Boy, I’ll say.

158
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:05,131
Lucky it's a new suit and you
don't have to wear it to school.

159
00:11:05,198 --> 00:11:07,166
The kids would really give you
the business.

160
00:11:07,233 --> 00:11:11,363
Yeah, lucky it's a new suit
and I don't have to wear it
to school, huh, Wally?

161
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:14,929
— Yeah, brother, I’ll say.
You’d get the biggest re—

163
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:20,543
Theodore, you must be sure
and hang up your new clothes.

164
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:23,104
We want them nice and fresh
for school on Monday.

165
00:11:26,386 --> 00:11:28,377
Yes, Aunt Martha.

166
00:11:43,002 --> 00:11:45,869
Theodore, don't slump over
your milk toast like that.

167
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,930
You'll have curvature of the spine.

168
00:11:48,007 --> 00:11:50,567
But if I eat close to the bowl,
I don't spill so much.

169
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:57,611
Uh,your Aunt Martha's right,
Beaver— uh, Theodore.

170
00:11:57,684 --> 00:12:00,778
Why don't you just sort of
meet the spoon halfway?

171
00:12:02,422 --> 00:12:06,188
— Yes, Dad.
— Well, I have an early appointment.

172
00:12:06,259 --> 00:12:08,557
I've got to get going.

173
00:12:08,628 --> 00:12:11,028
Oh, excellent breakfast, Martha.

174
00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:13,463
— Excellent.
— Dad?

175
00:12:14,534 --> 00:12:16,468
You boys had better hurry too.

176
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:19,733
I have your clothes all laid out
in your room.

177
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:22,841
Dad!

178
00:12:24,911 --> 00:12:28,108
Dad, could I ask you somethin'?
I'm in an awful hurry, Theodore.

179
00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:30,877
I mean Beaver.
Is it really important?

180
00:12:30,950 --> 00:12:32,884
Kinda, sorta.
You see, Aunt Martha bought me—

181
00:12:32,952 --> 00:12:35,182
Look, Beaver, I'm sorry.
I'm late now.

182
00:12:35,255 --> 00:12:37,189
You hang on to it
until I get back tonight.

183
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:40,283
Then we'll have lots of time
to talk about it, okay?

184
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,351
Okay.

185
00:12:43,563 --> 00:12:46,896
Hey, did you get to ask him?
No.

186
00:12:46,966 --> 00:12:49,958
Maybe I should tell Aunt Martha
I can't wear 'em to school.

187
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:54,268
You can't do that.
We promised Mom
we wouldn't make any trouble.

188
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,399
Oh, yeah.

189
00:12:56,476 --> 00:13:01,812
Don't worry, Beave. The kids'll
probably stop laughin' at you
after the first couple of classes.

190
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:13,617
We got here early.
Probably none of
the other kids are here yet.

191
00:13:13,693 --> 00:13:16,628
Wally, if I can just get to my desk,

192
00:13:16,696 --> 00:13:19,722
I'm gonna sit there,
and I'm not gonna leave it
for the whole day.

193
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:21,994
Yeah?
I'm not gonna get up.

194
00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:24,059
Not for nothin'!

195
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:34,771
Maybe if you can kind of crouch down,
they won't look like short pants.

196
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:40,913
Well, good luck anyway.
I gotta get to my class.

00:14:59,599 --> 00:15:01,590
I was just getting a drink of water.

207
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:05,660
Beaver, what happened to
the bottoms of your pants?

208
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:09,299
— Nothing.
— Where'd you get the girls' stockings?

209
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:12,071
Is that a new kind of underwear,
Beaver?

210
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:14,477
It's a suit,
and it's supposed to be like this.

211
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:17,277
Then why were you hiding all day?

212
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:20,444
Hey, Beaver, you've got
dimples on your knees!

213
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,456
— I have not.
— You know something, Beaver, you're a sissy.

214
00:15:24,524 --> 00:15:28,858
— Take it back.
— I will not. You're a sissy.

— No, sir. My pants did.

run along home now.

about something?

Sure.
Uh—

00:17:06,559 --> 00:17:09,392
There was a little trouble
in school today.

237
00:17:09,462 --> 00:17:11,453
Wally, I told you last night,

238
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:14,398
you have to invert those fractions
before you divide.

239
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:16,731
No, I did that,
but they still came out wrong.

240
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:22,403
But this is about the Beaver.

241
00:17:22,475 --> 00:17:27,003
— He had a fight today in school.
— A fight? That's a fine thing.

Your mother's been gone two days,
and he's in trouble already.

243
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:31,716
It wasn't actually his fault.

— It was Aunt Martha's.

Yeah. She made the Beaver
wear those short pants to school

— The kids picked on him.
— She made Beaver wear short pants to school?

00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:52,526
—You know how it is.
—I sure do.

249
00:17:52,605 --> 00:17:55,574
I had to wear long white stockings
to school once.

250
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:58,635
— Where is he now?
— He's up in the room,

251
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:00,679

going to school tomorrow.

I'll take care of everything.

in connection with the boys, Martha,

straighten it out.

Well, Ward, I know that Aunt Martha
can be a trial at times,

278
00:19:27,633 --> 00:19:31,228
but when I was a little girl,
she was practically the only mother I knew,

279

and... I love her very dearly.

280
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:38,844
You or the boys won't do anything
to upset her, will you?

281
00:19:40,046 --> 00:19:42,514
Oh, no. No, of course not.

I thought you ditched me.
I wouldn't do a thing like that.

But she's your mother's
favorite aunt,

324

and we can't hurt her feelings,
can we?

Put these on right over 'em.

Okay, point your toe.
Attaboy. Now the other one.

327
00:23:07,353 --> 00:23:10,880
Here we go.
There we are.

328
00:23:10,956 --> 00:23:13,823
You zip 'em up.
I'll get your jacket.

329
00:23:15,461 --> 00:23:17,520
Now, when you get home
from school today,

330
00:23:17,596 --> 00:23:22,727
you can just slip back in here
and change back again, huh?

331
00:23:22,801 --> 00:23:26,464
There you are.
Now you look more like
the old Beave.

332
00:23:26,538 --> 00:23:31,635
Gee, thanks, Dad.
You're almost like one of the fellas.

333
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:35,340
Beaver, I think that's the nicest thing
you ever said to me.

334
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:38,508
Well, I better be going.
Yeah, sure.

335
00:23:38,584 --> 00:23:42,076
Here's your books.
And your lunch pail.

336
00:23:45,057 --> 00:23:48,618
Hey, Beaver, come here. Uh—

337
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:51,788
It looks a little like rain outside.

338
00:23:51,864 --> 00:23:53,855
|think| better take this.

339
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:20,759
Oh, Aunt Martha,
I just can't Thank you enough...

340
00:24:20,826 --> 00:24:24,819
for coming and visiting us
and for watching over
the boys while I was away.

341
00:24:24,897 --> 00:24:27,525
We got along just fabulously,
didn't we, Ward?

342
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:30,830
Just like four peas in a pod.
[Chuckles]

343
00:24:30,903 --> 00:24:32,837
Uh, well, Aunt Martha,
you don't wanna miss your plane.

344
00:24:32,905 --> 00:24:35,703
The boys are going with you.
I'll call them.
Oh!

345
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:37,708
Wally! Beaver!

346
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:40,244
They're two fine boys,June.

347
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:44,146
I'm looking forward to seeing them
when they come east to school.

348
00:24:47,453 --> 00:24:49,444
Hey, boys!

349
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:54,559
Wally, take these out to the car.
Okay, Dad.

350
00:24:55,561 --> 00:24:57,552
Beaver!

351
00:25:02,835 --> 00:25:06,066
Beaver, what's the idea?
I thought you hated those things.

352
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:09,835
I do, Dad, but I didn't wanna
hurt Aunt Martha's feelings.
