00:00:24,825 --> 00:00:29,762
[Ward Narrating] When you're a little fellow,
you can usually tolerate a fair amount
of affection from your parents.

2
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:33,766
And you can even stand a reasonable
Amount from your big brother

3
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:36,803
But when a strange female
decides to be affectionate,

4
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:39,862
it really presents
a disturbing problem.

5
00:00:39,940 --> 00:00:43,239
And that's our story tonight
on Leave It To Beaver.

6
00:00:49,182 --> 00:00:51,650
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

00:00:55,856 --> 00:01:00,259
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

8
00:01:01,328 --> 00:01:04,764
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

9
00:01:10,904 --> 00:01:14,704
Hurry up, Beave.
We'll be late for school.
Wally, have you seen my other shoe?

10
00:01:14,775 --> 00:01:16,970
No. I'm trying to find
my arithmetic book.

11
00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:22,974
I can't go to school
without my other shoe.

12
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:25,917
Yeah, and I can't go to school
without my arithmetic book.

13
00:01:27,788 --> 00:01:31,519
Wally, let's not go.
Cut it out, Beave.
We gotta go.

14
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:35,256
Here's my shoe.

15
00:01:39,466 --> 00:01:41,400
Wally.
What?

16
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:43,834
You know Linda Dennison,
that new girl in my class?

17
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:46,839
— Yeah. What about her?
—Well, she's been bothering me.

18
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:49,341
Well, if she hits you,
hit her back.

19
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:52,139
No, she's been 
botherin' me different.

20
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:54,737
She always wants to
sit next to me in the cafeteria,

21
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:56,806
and she always wants to
walk home with me.

22
00:01:56,883 --> 00:01:58,817
Why would she want do that, Wally?

23
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:01,683
I don't know.
You know how girls are.

24
00:02:01,755 --> 00:02:04,280
If they're nice to you,
they usually got an angle.

25
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:06,349
Maybe she wants to
copy your homework.

26
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:09,395
Nobody ever wants to
copy my homework.

27
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:13,024
Yeah. I guess so.

28
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:15,034
Hey, Beave.
What does she look like?

29
00:02:15,102 --> 00:02:19,061
She looks awful.
She looks like a girl.

30
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:23,674
All girls look like girls.

31
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:28,078
Yeah, but Linda Dennison looks
more like a girl than any girl
I've ever seen.

32
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:31,174
Hey. Here's my arithmetic book.

33
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:33,742
It was in
the wastepaper basket too.

34
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,292
Psst.

35

36
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,499

[Bell Rings]

39
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:32,912
Hey, Beaver.
What's in the note you got
from Linda Dennison?

40
00:03:32,979 --> 00:03:35,038
I don't know.

41
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,984
Linda likes you, Beaver.
She's your girlfriend.

42
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:41,486
No, she's not.
She just passed me a note.

43
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:44,786
She sent you a love letter.
I bet that's what she sent you.

44
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:48,294
Beaver's got a girl.
Beaver likes Linda.

45
00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,326
It's not no love note.
It's an invitation to her party.

46
00:03:56,002 --> 00:03:58,937
That's what it is.
It's an invitation to her party.

47
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:02,168
Yeah. You get one, Whitey?

48
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,937
No, I didn't get one.

49
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,179
You get one, Larry?

50
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:09,977
Uh—uh.
I never get nothin' from girls.

51
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:14,313
[Judy]
None of the other boys in the class
got an in invitation.

52
00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:18,118
How come Linda only gave you one
If she's not your girlfriend?

53
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:21,092
I don't know.
Maybe 'cause I live close to her.

54
00:04:21,161 --> 00:04:24,153
She sent you it
'cause she's your sweetheart.

55
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:26,256
I bet you'll be the only boy goin'.

56
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:31,293
Of course I won't.
I bet you there'll be
a lot of guys goin’. A whole lot.

57
00:04:31,371 --> 00:04:35,569
Beaver's got a sweetheart!
Beaver's got a sweetheart!

58
00:04:35,642 --> 00:04:38,543
I have not!
[All Giggling]

59
00:04:39,546 --> 00:04:41,480
I have not!

60
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:43,675
[Giggling Continues]

61
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,684
I was waiting for you, Beaver.

62
00:04:45,752 --> 00:04:47,549
Are you going to walk home today?

63
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:48,952
Uh—

64
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:50,887
[Giggling]

65
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:54,893
Uh, I think I gotta go to the dentist
and get some teeth put back in.

66
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:08,167
Hello, Frankie.
This is the Beaver.

67
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:10,607
Are you goin' to
Linda Dennison's party tomorrow?

68
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:14,042
Oh. You ain't been invited?

69
00:05:14,114 --> 00:05:17,242
Then I guess you aren't goin’, huh?
[Door Opens]

70
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:20,047
Well, bye.

71
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,054
He ain't going either?
No.

72
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:25,250
Gee, Beave. I don't know.
It sure is narrowin' down.

73
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:30,353
Yeah. I think I'll call—
[June]
Boys, supper's ready

74
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:33,399
Oh. You can call
the rest of the guys later.

75
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,400
Time to eat.

76
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:39,768
You know, Wally,
girls can sure get you
in a lot of trouble, can't they?

77
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:46,174
Well, boys, tomorrow's Saturday.
What do you have planned?

78
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:49,147
Well, they're tarring the roof
down at the drugstore.

79
00:05:49,216 --> 00:05:52,777
Me and Chester and Tooey
are going down to listen to
workmen yell at each other.

80
00:05:52,853 --> 00:05:54,753
[Beaver]
Yeah, I'm goin' too.

81
00:05:54,821 --> 00:05:57,085
Those workmen say
some real funny things.

82
00:05:59,793 --> 00:06:02,023
I'm sure they do.

83
00:06:02,095 --> 00:06:05,121
Beaver, that reminds me.
A Mrs. Dennison called today.

84
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:08,395
Did her little girl
give you an invitation
to a party tomorrow?

85
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:11,926
You mean Linda Dennison,
the new girl in my class?
Yes.

86
00:06:12,005 --> 00:06:16,533
Her mother said that Linda gave you
the invitation last week in school.
But you didn't mention it.

87
00:06:16,610 --> 00:06:19,875
Yeah. She gave me
an invitation, but, uh,

88
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:22,710
I'm pretty sure I lost it
before I could read it.

89
00:06:22,782 --> 00:06:26,218
Well, how'd you know it was
an invitation if you lost it
before you could read it?

90
00:06:26,286 --> 00:06:30,450
Well, I guess I read it,
and then I lost it.

91
00:06:30,523 --> 00:06:32,957
[Plate [links]

92
00:06:33,026 --> 00:06:34,653
Anyway, I ain't goin'.

93
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:36,958
Beaver, you're not going.

94
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,464
Gee, thanks, Dad.
I thunk you'd make me.

95
00:06:41,268 --> 00:06:43,930
Beaver, that's not what I meant.

96
00:06:44,004 --> 00:06:46,768
Beaver, why wouldn't you want to
go to Linda Dennison's party?

97
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,468
I understand they're very nice people.

98
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,976
Yeah, he's the manager
Of that new plant, isn't he?

99
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:54,240
I'd, uh, kind of enjoy
meeting them myself.

100
00:06:54,314 --> 00:06:57,750
Maybe you and Mom would like to
go to Linda Dennison's party.

101
00:06:58,985 --> 00:07:02,944
Wally, we're trying to
straighten something out here,
and you're not being much of a help.

102
00:07:03,023 --> 00:07:05,753
Sorry, Dad.

103
00:07:05,825 --> 00:07:09,556
Beaver, I told Mrs. Dennison
that you'd be happy to
go to Linda's party.

104
00:07:09,629 --> 00:07:12,029
And I can't see any reason
For you to disappoint her.

105
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:17,195
But I promised Wally
I'd go with him to watch the men
tar the roof. Didn't I, Wally?

106
00:07:20,707 --> 00:07:24,871
Beaver, I'm sure the men
can tar the roof
very well without you.

107
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,709
Now, your mother told Mrs. Dennison
you were going to the party,

108
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:30,272
so I think you'd better
go to the party.

109
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:32,341
Yes, sir.

110
00:07:33,887 --> 00:07:35,878
[Loud Clink]

111
00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:37,947
Sorry.

112
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:47,826
Wonder why the Beaver
was so definite about not
wanting to go to Linda's party.

113
00:07:47,901 --> 00:07:51,166
I don't know.
I guess kids just get kind of
antisocial once in a while.

114
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:53,467
He's with Wally
and the older boys too much.

115
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:58,842
Be good for him to be with the other
little boys and girls his own age.
Yeah. You'd think he'd be delighted.

116
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:01,278
Would you have been
when you were his age?

117
00:08:02,282 --> 00:08:06,742
Uh, well, now that I come to think of it,
I guess there were more important things
in life than girls.

118
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:11,189
Uh— Uh, catfish, beetles,
bugs, frogs, worms—
That's enough.

119
00:08:11,257 --> 00:08:13,282
I get it.

120
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,487
He'll have a good time
after he gets there.

121
00:08:15,562 --> 00:08:20,397
Where you going?
Uh, I'm, uh, going to call
the drugstore before it closes.

122
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:22,662
I think the boys are using the phone.

123
00:08:22,736 --> 00:08:24,931
All right.
I'll call it after it closes.

124
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:30,167
Hello. This is Beaver Cleaver.

125
00:08:30,243 --> 00:08:32,609
Could I speak to Charles, please?

126
00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:37,582
They're gonna go get him.
He's doing his homework.
On Friday night?

127
00:08:40,887 --> 00:08:44,379
Hello, Charles.
Are you going to
Linda Dennison's party?

128
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:47,517
Oh, you're not.

129
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:49,892
How about Elephant Ears?
Is he going?

130
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:54,060
Thanks anyways.
Sorry to drag you away
from your homework.

131
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:56,125
Bye.

132
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:02,307
Wally, Charles isn't goin',
and Elephant Ears got the measles.

133
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:04,366
Boy.

134
00:09:07,414 --> 00:09:11,441
You know, Wally, it looks to me
like I'm gonna be the only boy
in my class that's goin'.

135
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:14,510
Looks to me like you're gonna be
the only boy that's goin'.

136
00:09:15,955 --> 00:09:18,253
That's what I think.

137
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:24,754
Wally, why would Linda
just ask me?
'Cause she's sweet on ya.

138
00:09:24,831 --> 00:09:27,766
Girls do dirty things like that
when they like ya.

139
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:31,235
Wally, did you ever
go to an all—girl party?

140
00:09:31,304 --> 00:09:36,332
No, but I went to one where
there were only three boys.
It was murder.

141
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:38,104
What happened?

142
00:09:38,178 --> 00:09:42,581
We tried hanging around
in the kitchen, but they made us
come out and play kissin' games.

143
00:09:42,649 --> 00:09:45,140
With the girls?

144
00:09:45,218 --> 00:09:48,085
Sure. That's what you kiss
in kissin' games.

145
00:09:48,154 --> 00:09:50,088
Uh—uh. Not me.

146
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:53,956
If the other fellas ever found out
I was the only boy there, it'd be awful.

147
00:09:54,027 --> 00:09:57,690
Well, you're gonna have to go,
'cause Mom said you would.

148
00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:01,860
Gee, Wally. I wish I had
the measles like Elephant Ears.

149
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:03,869
Measles wouldn't do you an y good

150
00:10:03,937 --> 00:10:06,633
Takes 'em a couple of weeks for 'em
to break out on ya.

151
00:10:06,706 --> 00:10:10,073
Gee, Wally.
I can't go to an all—girl party.

152
00:10:10,143 --> 00:10:14,011
I'd rather die than get kissed
by all those girls.
Can't you help me?

153
00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:17,849
Let me think about it.

154
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:20,647
Maybe I can think of a way
to get you sick quicker.

155
00:10:26,259 --> 00:10:28,250
Go on, Wally.
Call the Dennisons.

156
00:10:28,328 --> 00:10:31,491
Well, it sounded like a good idea
last night, but now I don't know.

157
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:33,828
I always get in trouble
when I try to help you.

158
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,630
Anything's better than
gettin' kissed by all those girls.

159
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:38,364
Yeah, I guess so.

160
00:10:43,309 --> 00:10:45,300
Hope I don't get Mr. Dennison.

161
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:51,012
Wally, if this works,
how am I gonna keep Mom and Dad
from gettin' wise?

162
00:10:51,084 --> 00:10:56,317
That's easy. All you do is put on your blue suit
and leave the house with a present,
as though you were going to the party.

163
00:10:56,389 --> 00:11:00,587
Yeah. But where's a guy gonna go
on a Saturday afternoon in a blue suit?

164
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:04,687
I don't know.
That's your problem.
Do I gotta think of everything?

165
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:08,165
Maybe I could hang around the church.
They might be having a wedding.

166
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,971
When it gets dark, I'll come home.

167
00:11:12,038 --> 00:11:14,768
I sure hope that present
I'm bringing Linda
is something to eat.

168
00:11:21,247 --> 00:11:25,081
[Deep Voice]
Hello. Could I speak to
Linda Dennison?

169
00:11:25,151 --> 00:11:27,176
It's her sister.
She's gonna get her.

170
00:11:30,456 --> 00:11:33,084
Hello, Linda.
[Clears Throat]
Uh—

171
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:36,651
[Deep Voice]
Hello, Linda.
This is Mr. Ward Cleaver,

172
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:39,197
father of Wally and Beaver Cleaver.

173
00:11:39,265 --> 00:11:44,134
About your party this afternoon—
My son will be unable to attend.

174
00:11:45,305 --> 00:11:47,773
Huh? Oh, he come down
with somethin'.

175
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:51,641
Unexpected, Wally.
Yeah.

176
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:54,805
Uh, he come down
with somethin' unexpected.

177
00:11:54,881 --> 00:12:00,080
As his father,
I don't think I should expose you
and the other girls to his germs.

178
00:12:01,521 --> 00:12:04,354
Uh, yes. The ones
he come down with.

179
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:08,724
It's working great, Beaver.
This Linda's really fallin' for it.

180
00:12:08,795 --> 00:12:14,097
Hello. My wife and I are very sorry
he will not be in attendance.

181
00:12:14,167 --> 00:12:18,661
The doctor said he can't
go to any parties for 24 hours.

182
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:21,298
Thank you. Good—bye.

183
00:12:21,374 --> 00:12:24,036
You were great, Wally.
You even sounded better than Dad.

184
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:32,910
Oh, hi, Dad. I guess you just
come in here, huh?
No.

185
00:12:34,487 --> 00:12:38,583
— You been here long?
— Just long enough.

186
00:12:41,928 --> 00:12:43,919
Gee, Dad,
I don't know what to say.

187
00:12:45,231 --> 00:12:47,756
You didn't seem at any
loss for words on the phone.

188
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:50,098
Yeah, I guess not.

189
00:12:51,170 --> 00:12:54,503
Beaver, I'm going to call the Dennisons
and tell them you're coming to the party.

190
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:58,271
— I want you to go upstairs
and put on your blue suit.
—Yes, sir.

191
00:12:58,344 --> 00:13:01,472
You can spend the rest of the day
in your room, Wally.
Yes, sir.

192
00:13:09,022 --> 00:13:10,956
Dad.
Yeah. What is it, Beaver?

193
00:13:11,024 --> 00:13:13,356
Don't worry.
I'm not really sick.

194
00:13:28,941 --> 00:13:30,875
Oh, hi, Mom.

195
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:33,138
Wally.

196
00:13:33,212 --> 00:13:36,511
What are you doing?
Those are your clean socks.

197
00:13:36,582 --> 00:13:40,348
I'm just practicing basketball, Mom.
Well, you were sent up here
as a punishment.

198
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:43,651
Just 'cause I'm bein' punished,
does that mean I have to be miserable?

199
00:13:44,924 --> 00:13:47,290
Wally, your father
just took Beaver to the party.

200
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,852
You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
calling up the Dennisons
and acting like that.

201
00:13:50,930 --> 00:13:54,388
I was just trying to help the Beaver.
He didn't wanna go to the party.

202
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:58,164
I don't know why not.
He'll have a lot of fun
with his little friends.

203
00:13:58,237 --> 00:14:01,900
Yeah, but there's not gonna be
any friends there, Mom. Just girls.

204
00:14:03,943 --> 00:14:07,572
Just girls?
Yeah, you know, Mom,
how fellas hate girls.

205
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:12,050
You mean to tell me that Beaver
is the only boy at that party?

206
00:14:12,118 --> 00:14:14,882
Uh—huh. They're gonna
kiss him and everything.

207
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:18,082
Wally, why didn't you tell
your father and me about this...

208
00:14:18,157 --> 00:14:21,149
instead of going through
all that business on the telephone?

209
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:24,128
Well, gee, Mom. We figured
that you and Dad were so old,

210
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:28,657
well, you wouldn't understand
about boys having to kiss girls
and stuff like that.

211
00:14:28,735 --> 00:14:30,726
Oh, Wally, you—

212
00:14:33,506 --> 00:14:36,407
I guess sometimes we do
seem that way.

213
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:39,611
Poor old Beaver.

214
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,670
I really feel sorry for him.

215
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:58,552
Well, here we are. You go on in.
Come home right after the party.

216
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:02,159
Ye— Beaver—
[Chuckles]

217
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:05,204
Get on in there.
We're late already.
Now, go ahead.

218
00:15:05,271 --> 00:15:07,239
Uh—uh.

219
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:11,538
Beaver, go ahead on in
and stop acting silly.

220
00:15:11,611 --> 00:15:14,375
I'm not going to
that crummy old party.

221
00:15:14,447 --> 00:15:17,007
Theodore, are you defying me?

222
00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:20,175
No, sir.

223
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:23,780
Just ain't goin'.
All right. We'll see about that.

224
00:15:29,462 --> 00:15:32,590
Hi, Mr. Cleaver.
Uh, hello, Mrs. Dennison.

225
00:15:32,665 --> 00:15:34,599
Beaver! It's Beaver! It's Beaver!

226
00:15:34,667 --> 00:15:40,435
[Party Horns Tooting]
[All Shouting]

227
00:15:40,506 --> 00:15:44,237
All right, Beaver.
I'm not gonna go.

228
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:47,438
Beaver, you get on in there now
and stop acting like a child.

229
00:15:47,513 --> 00:15:51,847
— Come on, Beaver.
— Hurry up, Beaver. We're just going to
have the ice cream and cake.

230
00:15:51,918 --> 00:15:56,548
Yeah. Uh, he'll be right with you, dear.
Uh, I-I think his shoe is untied.

231
00:15:56,622 --> 00:16:00,922
Beaver, if you don't get in there
this minute, when I get you home,
you're really going to be punished.

232
00:16:00,993 --> 00:16:03,791
How dare you embarrass
your mother and me like this.

233
00:16:03,863 --> 00:16:08,493
Please don't make me, Dad.
Beaver, get on in to that party now
and enjoy yourself. Do you hear me?

234
00:16:08,568 --> 00:16:10,502
All right.

235
00:16:10,570 --> 00:16:12,663
Come!
[Shouting]

236
00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:15,400
Uh, he's coming, children.

237
00:16:15,475 --> 00:16:17,705
All right.
I'll go to their party.

238
00:16:17,777 --> 00:16:22,373
But you'll be sorry.
I'll eat so much cake and ice cream,
I'll bust wide open.

239
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:24,382
I might even die.

240
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:26,645
Beaver! Beaver!

241
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:29,153
Come on, Beaver!
Come on, Beaver!

242
00:16:29,222 --> 00:16:32,316
[Chattering]
Come on, Beaver.

243
00:16:32,391 --> 00:16:35,485
[Chattering]

244
00:16:41,234 --> 00:16:43,225
[Girls Giggling]

245
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:48,069
Ward.
It was the worst experience
I ever had.

246
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:50,301
Ward.
I practically had to
drag him out of the car.

247
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:53,402
I don't know what's gotten into him.
Ward, I was just talking to Wally,

248
00:16:53,479 --> 00:16:57,745
and the reason the Beaver
didn't want to go to the party,
he's the only boy invited.

249
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:00,978
You mean all those kids
in dresses were girls?

250
00:17:01,053 --> 00:17:06,514
I mean, I know they were girls,
but you mean that's all there was?
Uh—huh. It's an all—girl party.

251
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:11,922
Well, instead of going through all this,
why didn't he just tell us?

252
00:17:11,998 --> 00:17:15,297
Because we're too old
to understand things like this.

253
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:20,203
What?
Well, that's the explanation Wally gave,
and I think he may have a point.

254
00:17:22,808 --> 00:17:25,003
[Linda]
Who wants some popcorn?

255
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:27,068
[Girls]
Ooh!

256
00:17:31,484 --> 00:17:36,080
[Mrs. Dennison]
All right now All you girls gather round
Come on. Hurry.

257
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:38,146
Come on, Patty, Betty, Linda.

258
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:40,158
Oh. You too, Beaver.

259
00:17:42,862 --> 00:17:44,830
It's time for our lucky drawing

260
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:47,422
Ooh!
Oh, and we have a wonderful prize.

261
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,231
Now I put all your names
on these slips of papers,
and Linda will draw the winner.

262
00:17:51,304 --> 00:17:54,330
Go ahead Linda.
My, isn't this exciting?

263
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,341
Here you are, Mommy.
Oh, thank you, dear.

264
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:58,900
Thank you.
My, isn't this exciting?

265
00:17:58,978 --> 00:18:02,675
Let's see. Uh, the name of
our lucky winner is, um,

266
00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:06,251
Beaver Cleaver.

267
00:18:07,353 --> 00:18:09,287
Here, dear.

268
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:12,449
I'm glad you won the prize, Beaver.

269
00:18:12,525 --> 00:18:14,618
What's in it?
I don't know.
My daddy bought it.

270
00:18:14,694 --> 00:18:18,630
Go on. Open it up.
[Mrs. Dennison] Perhaps Beaver
would prefer to open it later, dear.

271
00:18:18,698 --> 00:18:22,134
Oh, no. Go on. Open it, Beaver.
Please, Beaver.

272
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:30,309
[Doll]
Mama.
Ooh.

273
00:18:33,579 --> 00:18:38,448
I'm sorry I punished you, Wally.
I-I just didn't understand
the circumstances.

274
00:18:38,517 --> 00:18:40,508
Oh, that's all right, Dad.

275
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:43,111
I had no idea it was
an all—girl party.

276
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:45,555
Bet it's gonna be kind of rough
on the Beaver.

277
00:18:45,625 --> 00:18:49,083
You know, Dad,
I wouldn't mind so much
going to an all—girl party now...

278
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:51,220
as I would have
when I was the Beaver's age.

279
00:18:51,297 --> 00:18:53,322
Yeah, I can understand that.

280
00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:56,800
That's because we—
Well, we just grow up.

281
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:06,878
[Giggling]

282
00:19:06,946 --> 00:19:08,937
Ooh. Cold.

283
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,006
[Giggling]
Cold.

284
00:19:12,652 --> 00:19:15,416
[All]
Hot. Hot. Hot.

285
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:19,958
Oh, that's good, Betty.
Who's next?

286
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:24,725
I'm getting tired of this.
Let's play something else.
[All] Yeah.

287
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:27,857
My mother's in the kitchen.
Let's play post office.

288
00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:30,197
That's a kissing game.
We need boys.

289
00:19:30,269 --> 00:19:32,203
The Beaver's here.
He's a boy.

290
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:36,503
Beaver.
Where did he go to?

291
00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:38,839
He was here a minute ago.

292
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:03,400
Oh, hi there, Beaver.

293
00:20:03,469 --> 00:20:05,630
Oh. Hi, Mr. Dennison.

294
00:20:05,705 --> 00:20:07,400
I hope I'm not 'sturbin 'ya.

295
00:20:07,473 --> 00:20:09,873
Oh, no. No, not at all.

296
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:12,308
As a matter of fact,
I was expecting you sooner.

297
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:16,773
I know what it's like to be
the only rooster at a hen party.

298
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:21,441
I mean a gathering
Of delightful young ladies.

299
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,683
Sit down, Beaver.
You're perfectly safe here.

300
00:20:25,691 --> 00:20:27,818
Gee, thanks, Mr. Dennison.

301
00:20:27,893 --> 00:20:30,225
I thunk I  was gonna have to
kiss some of 'em.

302
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:33,288
Little afraid of girls, eh, Beaver?

303
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:39,898
— Kinda sorta.
— They can be pretty terrifying at times.

304
00:20:39,972 --> 00:20:44,068
You know, when Mrs. Dennison
entertains her bridge club, I, uh—

305
00:20:44,143 --> 00:20:46,407
I always sneak away
and hole up in here.

306
00:20:46,479 --> 00:20:49,971
Yeah, they'd never come in here
with all the guns you got.

307
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:55,243
Well, I haven't had to
use any of them on
Mrs. Dennison's guests yet.

308
00:20:55,321 --> 00:20:57,846
— You— You like guns, huh, Beaver?
— Oh, sure.

309
00:20:57,923 --> 00:21:00,653
Come on over and take a look
at my collection.

310
00:21:05,765 --> 00:21:08,734
Gee. Could I really hold one?
Oh, sure.

311
00:21:08,801 --> 00:21:12,328
Uh, this is a Sharps carbine.
The kind, uh, Buffalo Bill used.

312
00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:16,465
— To shoot buffalo?
— Or an Indian or two.

313
00:21:18,978 --> 00:21:21,139
Pow! Pow! Pow!

314
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:23,613
Take it easy, Beaver.
That's a single shot.

315
00:21:25,217 --> 00:21:28,209
Yeah, I guess you gotta watch that.

316
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,484
Now, then, here's a gun
that should interest you.

317
00:21:31,557 --> 00:21:35,550
It's the kind the gunslingers carried.
It's an old Colt frontier model.

318
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:37,789
See the way that trigger's tied back?

319
00:21:37,863 --> 00:21:39,854
The old—timers used to fan the gun.

320
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:45,665
Gee. Bam! Bam! Bam!

321
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:47,968
Keep going, Beaver.
It's a six—shooter.

322
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,100
Pow! Pow! Pow!

323
00:21:51,177 --> 00:21:53,407
Pow!

324
00:21:54,580 --> 00:21:57,071
Now, then.

325
00:21:57,149 --> 00:22:01,745
Here is a gun belt they tell me
was once worn by Billy the Kid.

326
00:22:03,055 --> 00:22:05,819
Boy.
Would you care to strap it on?

327
00:22:05,891 --> 00:22:07,722
Gee, could I?

328
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:09,784
Sure.

329
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:25,201
I guess Billy the Kid
was a little bit fatter than I is.
I'm afraid so.

330
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:27,905
[Chuckles]
Now, here, Beaver.

331
00:22:34,220 --> 00:22:37,053
It's getting kind of late.
I wonder where the Beaver is.

332
00:22:37,122 --> 00:22:39,454
Oh, he'll be along.
It's only a few blocks.

333
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:44,428
Oh. You know,
I'm not gonna know what to say to him
after throwing him into that nest of girls.

334
00:22:44,496 --> 00:22:47,590
I suppose he'll hate us for it,
and I can't say I blame him.

335
00:22:47,666 --> 00:22:51,659
Yes. When we saw he didn't want to go,
we at least might have listened to
his explanation.

336
00:22:51,737 --> 00:22:55,730
I'm afraid we were more concerned
with not offending the Dennisons
than we were of his feelings.

337
00:22:55,808 --> 00:22:57,742
Ah, he'll get over it.

338
00:22:57,810 --> 00:22:59,903
I don't know.

339
00:22:59,979 --> 00:23:02,846
Dragging him into that party. Boy.

340
00:23:02,915 --> 00:23:04,849
A thing like that can affect a boy.

341
00:23:04,917 --> 00:23:08,785
It's like those parents who used to
make a boy sit in a dark room
to get over his fear of the dark.

342
00:23:08,854 --> 00:23:13,689
Well, if he's anything like his father,
his fear of girls won't last too long.
Yeah.

343
00:23:16,528 --> 00:23:19,395
Well, I don't know.
He seemed awfully—
[Door Opens]

344
00:23:20,466 --> 00:23:22,991
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

345
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:25,263
Hi, Beaver.
How was the party?

346
00:23:25,337 --> 00:23:28,033
Uh, Beaver, I'm very sorry
I made you go.

347
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:31,634
And if you'd prefer
not to talk about it,
we understand.

348
00:23:31,710 --> 00:23:35,737
Oh, no. I had a swell time.
Where's Wally?
Upstairs in his room.

349
00:23:39,985 --> 00:23:41,976
Well, now what's
the matter with you?

350
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:43,988
Well, now I am confused.

351
00:23:44,056 --> 00:23:48,083
A boy that age
going to an all—girl party
and enjoying himself.

352
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,720
You know, that little character
is beginning to worry me.

353
00:24:13,285 --> 00:24:16,220
Oh, hi, Beave.
I didn't hear you come in.
How was the party?

354
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:19,018
It wasn't bad.
It was like all parties.

355
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:22,652
The kids ate,
and the big people yelled at us
not to spill stuff.

356
00:24:22,728 --> 00:24:25,026
I know, but did you have to
kiss all the girls?

357
00:24:25,097 --> 00:24:27,964
No, but I won a doll.

358
00:24:28,033 --> 00:24:30,501
A doll?
Well, what did you do with it?

359
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:33,732
I gave it to a fat lady
who was waitin' for a bus.

360
00:24:34,907 --> 00:24:36,841
Oh. What are you writin'?

361
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:41,175
A note to Linda Dennison.
I'm gonna give it to her
in class on Monday.

362
00:24:41,246 --> 00:24:44,682
— Let me see it.
— No, it's just between her and me.

363
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:46,684
Bet you're gettin' sweet on her.

364
00:24:47,753 --> 00:24:50,654
— Give me that.
— “Dear Linda,

365
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:54,819
"Could / walk you home
fl'om school today?

366
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:58,727
"I would like to see you and..

367
00:24:58,797 --> 00:25:00,731
"your father's guns again.

368
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:03,461
Your friend, Beaver Cleaver.“

369
00:25:03,535 --> 00:25:06,766
Wow. For a minute there
I thought you were beginnin'
to like girls.
