1
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:25,990
Hi, Beaver.
Hi, Larry.

2
00:00:28,929 --> 00:00:31,625
I just heard Mr. Bloomgarten's
gonna inspect the lockers.

3
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,859
Yeah. The kids were
talking about it.

4
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:37,734
Mr. Bloomgarten heard somebody
brought rotten eggs to school again.

5
00:00:37,804 --> 00:00:39,738
You didn't bring rotten eggs, did ya?

6
00:00:39,806 --> 00:00:42,366
No. But I brung something else.

7
00:00:45,279 --> 00:00:47,270
Beaver!

8
00:00:48,448 --> 00:00:51,815
Bringing a dog to school—
You're gonna get
in all kinds of trouble.

9
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:58,624
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

10
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:07,232
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

11
00:01:08,302 --> 00:01:11,738
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

12
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:16,065
[Thunder Rumbling]

13
00:01:20,714 --> 00:01:25,083
Oh, Ward. Where can those boys be?
They should have been home from school
at least an hour ago.

14
00:01:25,152 --> 00:01:28,713
Oh, June.
A rainy day is a challenge
to any growing boy.

15
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:31,986
Gives him a chance
to find a lot of new ways
to get soaking wet.

16
00:01:32,059 --> 00:01:35,324
Well, I just wish
they'd worn their raincoats
this morning.

17
00:01:35,395 --> 00:01:37,329
Here comes somebody.

18
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:40,560
It's a kid, and he's running.
Is it one of ours?

19
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:46,330
Yeah. Must be.jumped right in
that big puddle out in front
of the house with both feet.

20
00:01:46,406 --> 00:01:49,603
It's Wally.
Wonder where the Beaver is.

21
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:54,503
Oh!

22
00:01:54,581 --> 00:01:57,812
Oh, Wally. Look at you.
You're soaking wet.

23
00:01:57,884 --> 00:02:00,978
Sure, Mom.
It's raining out.

24
00:02:01,054 --> 00:02:03,045
Oh, Wally.

25
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,859
You know, Wally, uh,
I was watching you
out the window there.

26
00:02:07,928 --> 00:02:12,297
Uh, could you tell me
why you would deliberately
jump in a puddle of water?

27
00:02:12,366 --> 00:02:15,858
Gee, Dad. I just wanted to see
if these new shoes were waterproof.

28
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:20,830
[Chuckles]
I guess they're not.

29
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,000
Yeah. No.

30
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:25,670
Where's your brother, Wally?
Didn't he come home with you?

31
00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:31,048
Well, he started to, but then it got
kind of wet while we were watching
some men take a car out of the mud.

32
00:02:31,118 --> 00:02:33,518
Sol think he went over to
Larry Mondello's house.

33
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:37,023
You better get on upstairs
and get some dry clothes on.

34
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:41,550
Ward, I'm worried about the Beaver.
Don't you think you ought to
go over to Larry's house and get him?

35
00:02:41,628 --> 00:02:44,153
No. Let's wait a couple
of minutes. He probably—
[Banging]

36
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:52,302
- Hi.
— Well, thank goodness
you're covered up.

37
00:02:52,372 --> 00:02:54,670
Larry Mondello "lended" me
his raincoat.

38
00:02:57,244 --> 00:02:59,235
We've been worried
about you, Beaver.

39
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:02,679
Why do you have your jacket
rolled up like that?

40
00:03:03,884 --> 00:03:06,216
I have it rolled up
so it won't get wet.

41
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:13,783
What do you suppose he has
in the jacket?

42
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:17,227
Do you think
he's hiding something?
Sure he's hiding something.

43
00:03:17,297 --> 00:03:21,063
Remember when he smuggled in
the chocolate eclairs
wrapped up in his sweater?

44
00:03:21,134 --> 00:03:24,365
Ooh. I hope it's nothing
that sticky.

45
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:30,709
Hey, Beaver. What is it?

46
00:03:30,777 --> 00:03:33,371
You know, Wally.
It's a dog.

47
00:03:33,447 --> 00:03:38,783
Yeah, I guess he is.
I think he's what they call
a Mexican Hairless.

48
00:03:38,852 --> 00:03:41,582
He's hairless all right,
But I don't know if he's Mexican.

49
00:03:41,655 --> 00:03:43,816
Where'd you get that thing?

50
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:47,121
I traded Larry Mondello
my glass doorknob for it.

51
00:03:47,194 --> 00:03:50,652
He got it from Whitey Whitney.
Whitey found him
eating out of his garbage pail.

52
00:03:54,067 --> 00:03:57,833
—I haven't got a name for him yet.
— Did Dad say you had to get rid of him?

53
00:03:57,904 --> 00:04:01,032
No. He didn't say that.
Gee. How come?

54
00:04:02,509 --> 00:04:05,603
Didn't have a chance to.
He doesn't know I got him.

55
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:07,704
You'd better go down and tell him.

56
00:04:07,781 --> 00:04:09,772
I gotta take my shower.

57
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:20,457
But, Beaver, he's so tiny.

58
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:22,791
Wally says he's a bald—headed Mexican.

59
00:04:24,731 --> 00:04:26,255
He's a Chihuahua, Beaver.

60
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:29,097
Wally says you might
let me keep him.

61
00:04:30,170 --> 00:04:33,139
Beaver, you and Wally
had a dog once. Remember?

62
00:04:33,206 --> 00:04:35,504
You didn’t take care of him.
We had to give him away.

63
00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:38,738
But I can't put him out in the rain.

64
00:04:38,812 --> 00:04:42,339
He's so small.
He might get washed down
a sewer or somethin'.

65
00:04:42,415 --> 00:04:44,906
Well, I don't mean tonight, Beaver.

66
00:04:44,985 --> 00:04:48,011
But anyway, a dog like this
obviously belongs to somebody.

67
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:53,125
How do you know?
He ain't got nothin' to show
who he belongs to.

68
00:04:53,193 --> 00:04:55,661
Well, I know you don't
quite understand, Beaver,

69
00:04:55,729 --> 00:04:59,790
but believe me,
the only right thing to do
is to find out who owns the dog

70
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:04,737
Yes, Beaver He probably belongs
to somebody who loves him very much.

71
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,739
You can understand that,
can't you?

72
00:05:08,208 --> 00:05:11,200
[Hiccups]
Yeah, I can understand that.

73
00:05:12,746 --> 00:05:14,680
I tell you what, Beaver.

74
00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:16,682
I have to work a while
tomorrow, so...

75
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:21,312
in the morning I'll take you and Wally
by the newspaper office, and you can
place an ad in the lost and found.

76
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:26,391
Okay, Dad.

77
00:05:26,459 --> 00:05:29,917
Beaver, why don ’t you take him
upstairs and tidy him up a bit?

78
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,987
But don't use a clean towel on him.

79
00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:35,523
Oh, no, Mom.
I'll wash myself first
and get one dirty.

80
00:05:45,378 --> 00:05:48,643
He seems pretty upset
about having to
give that dog back.

81
00:05:48,715 --> 00:05:54,085
Ah, he'll get over it.
When I was a kid, I was always
bringing home some kind of animal.

82
00:05:54,154 --> 00:05:58,250
[Chuckles]
I remember once my brother and I
brought home a duck.

83
00:05:58,325 --> 00:06:03,627
A duck?
Yeah. The lake was frozen over,
and it was wandering around on the ice.

84
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:06,791
We felt sorry for it,
so we bundled it up
and brought it home.

85
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:10,997
Where in the world
did you keep it?
Made a nest for it in the bathtub.

86
00:06:11,071 --> 00:06:13,539
Oh, we cleaned it up
and kept it warm...

87
00:06:13,607 --> 00:06:17,338
and fed it Father's best
imported sardines.

88
00:06:17,410 --> 00:06:19,344
And then?

89
00:06:19,412 --> 00:06:22,472
Then spring came,
and it flew away.

90
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:26,178
That's when I learned
that to a duck there's
no such thing as gratitude.

91
00:06:33,493 --> 00:06:37,657
Uh, "I found a dog.
The dog is a chi— chi"—

92
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:40,529
I scratched that out.
Oh, yes.

93
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,001
"The dog is brownish
with no hair.

94
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:49,474
I got the dog from my friend Larry,
but it was not his because Whitey
found him in his garbage pail"?

95
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:53,273
Uh, he means eating out of
his garbage pail.
Oh, I see.

96
00:06:53,346 --> 00:06:58,716
"If the dog you lost
is the one I found,
I'm the one who found it.

97
00:06:58,785 --> 00:07:00,776
Signed, Beaver Cleaver."

98
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:04,252
Young man,
did you write this
all by yourself?

99
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:07,293
No, my brother here
helped me with it.

100
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,490
Uh, well,just with the hard stuff.

101
00:07:11,564 --> 00:07:16,331
Well, I think
I might be able to reword it
so it's just a little clearer.

102
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:21,301
Don't make it too clear.
I wanna keep the dog.

103
00:07:27,347 --> 00:07:31,283
W—Well, I'm very sorry, sir,
but I'm afraid it's not your dog. I—

104
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:36,516
Well, I can appreciate
how anxious you are
to locate Frederick III,

105
00:07:36,589 --> 00:07:40,184
but I believe I know the difference
between an Airedale and a Chihuahua.

106
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:43,319
Not at all. Good night.

107
00:07:45,498 --> 00:07:47,864
Another false alarm?
Mm—hmm.

108
00:07:47,934 --> 00:07:50,528
You know, that makes
the 1 4th call in two days.

109
00:07:50,603 --> 00:07:53,265
Must be the time of year
when dogs leave home.

110
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:56,969
You wouldn't know about that.
Your experience
has been confined to ducks.

111
00:07:57,043 --> 00:08:00,137
Yeah. Where is
our bald—headed friend?

112
00:08:00,213 --> 00:08:03,011
Boys have him upstairs.
I think they're giving him a bath.
Oh.

113
00:08:03,083 --> 00:08:05,608
You know, even Wally's grown
attached to him.

114
00:08:05,685 --> 00:08:08,017
Well, when I saw his muddy face
that first night, uh,

115
00:08:08,088 --> 00:08:10,386
I never thought I could
grow to love him.

116
00:08:10,457 --> 00:08:13,722
But I have to admit
he has a kind of pathetic appeal.

117
00:08:13,793 --> 00:08:16,489
Probably his Latin charm.

118
00:08:16,563 --> 00:08:18,497
You know, like Cesar Romero.

119
00:08:20,667 --> 00:08:24,433
Well, I think I'll let 'em take the ad
out of the paper tomorrow.

120
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:31,575
What are you knitting?
A sweater.

121
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:36,578
Uh— Looks kind of small.

122
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:41,285
Oh, honey. Calm down.
It's for the dog.

123
00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:45,249
Oh!
[Rings]

124
00:08:45,325 --> 00:08:48,192
I'll get it. Uh, uh, it's cute.

125
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:50,195
Mmm.
Hello.

126
00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:01,429
Shall we put some of Mom's
bath salts in the water?

127
00:09:01,508 --> 00:09:05,808
Heck no. When you're a dog,
it spoils all the fun
if you can't smell like one.

128
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:10,813
You kinda like him now,
huh, Wally?

129
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:13,546
Well, I'm gettin' used to him
being funny—lookin'.

130
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,282
I don't think it bothers him
being funny—lookin'.

131
00:09:17,357 --> 00:09:20,155
To another dog,
he's probably as good—lookin'
as anybody is.

132
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:23,024
You know, Beaver,
you're really getting a break.

133
00:09:23,096 --> 00:09:26,224
Out of all the answers to the ad,
none of 'em was the right one.

134
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:30,929
Yeah. If the right one
doesn't show up,
you think Dad'll let me keep the dog?

135
00:09:31,004 --> 00:09:33,404
I wouldn’t be surprised.

136
00:09:33,473 --> 00:09:37,239
I know Dad's kind of old,
but he probably remembers
when he was a kid.

137
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:41,212
Yes, Mrs. Bennett.
Tomorrow morning will be fine.

138
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:43,579
Oh, that's perfectly all right.

139
00:09:45,051 --> 00:09:49,385
She sounds like the right one.
Well, she described him to a "."T

140
00:09:49,456 --> 00:09:52,755
Says his name's Poncho.
[Chuckles]
She's gonna pick him up in the morning.

141
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:55,693
Oh, Ward, the Beaver's
gonna be heartbroken.

142
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:58,492
Yeah.

143
00:09:58,565 --> 00:10:00,556
Well—
[Clears Throat]

144
00:10:01,901 --> 00:10:05,769
Uh, maybe I shouldn't
tell him tonight.

145
00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:07,807
Maybe not.
I'll tell him in the morning.

146
00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:09,865
Mmm.

147
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:17,378
Beaver, the lady phoned last night,
and it's her dog.

148
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:21,485
— You sure, Dad?
— Yeah.

149
00:10:24,691 --> 00:10:26,659
She, uh, promised you
a reward though.

150
00:10:27,827 --> 00:10:30,295
I don't want a reward.
I just want my dog.

151
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:34,231
But, Beaver, if it's her dog,
you're just going to
have to give it back to her.

152
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,568
But she hasn't seen it.
Maybe it's still the wrong dog.

153
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,635
No, I don't think so, Beaver.

154
00:10:46,713 --> 00:10:50,376
Well, I've got to get
my breakfast, and you boys
better get on to school.

155
00:10:52,218 --> 00:10:55,847
Oh, uh, she said
the dog's name was Poncho.

156
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:01,750
We're both sorry, Beaver.

157
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:08,427
It's too bad about the dog, Beave.

158
00:11:09,769 --> 00:11:11,760
I bet his name isn't Poncho.

159
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:14,363
I don't know.
But we better get to school.

160
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:17,706
I think I’ll go get
my arithmetic book.

161
00:11:17,777 --> 00:11:20,109
But you already got
your arithmetic book.

162
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:23,938
Then I think I'll go get
another book.

163

[Poncho Whimpers]

164
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,809
Here, dog.
[Whistles]

165
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:56,442
— Here, Prince.
— [Whimpers]

166

[Whistles]

167
00:12:00,386 --> 00:12:02,320
Here, Sport.
[Whistles]

168
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:05,881
[Whimpers]

169
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,494
Here, Poncho.

170
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:11,996
[Whimpering]

171
00:12:19,038 --> 00:12:21,165
[Whimpering]

172
00:12:25,178 --> 00:12:27,203
Oh, I can't understand it,
Mrs. Bennett.

173
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,680
I've looked for that dog
in the garage and in the basement,

174
00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,547
and this is the second time
I've looked through the boys' room.

175
00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:34,849
Well, your husband assured me
Poncho would be here.

176
00:12:34,921 --> 00:12:39,187
I was out of town,
and I was so upset when I got back
to find out that Poncho had run away.

177
00:12:39,259 --> 00:12:41,523
Well—
I just know that
cleaning woman let him out.

178
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:43,528
She doesn't like dogs.
Well, who—

179
00:12:43,596 --> 00:12:48,158
Of course, I've never
treated Poncho as a dog at all.
He's always been one of the family.

180
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:51,032
Well, I can't imagine where
he could be.

181
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,308
Well, you know how boys are.

182
00:12:56,376 --> 00:12:59,209
I have no idea.
I never had any children.

183
00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:01,213
Except Poncho.

184
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:04,011
You don't suppose
that the boys are out
playing with him someplace?

185
00:13:04,083 --> 00:13:06,017
Oh, no.
The boys are in school.

186
00:13:06,085 --> 00:13:08,280
Oh, I hope he hasn't
run away again.

187
00:13:09,989 --> 00:13:12,856
Now, do we all have our poem
memorized for today?

188
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:15,291
[All]
Yes, Miss Canfield.

189
00:13:15,361 --> 00:13:17,352
Whitey, suppose you start us off.

190
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:22,000
"The Wreck of the Asparagus,"
by Longfellow.

191
00:13:22,068 --> 00:13:25,629
Uh, "The Wreck of the Hesperus,"
by Longfellow.

192
00:13:25,705 --> 00:13:30,267
Oh, yeah.
"It was the schooner Hesperus
that sailed the wintry sea,

193
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:33,710
and the skipper had taken
his little daughter
to bear him company."

194
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:37,514
[Canfield]
Oh, that’s very nice, Whitey

195
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,915
Uh, does anyone know
what a skipper is?

196
00:13:46,959 --> 00:13:49,359
Larry, how about you?

197
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:58,732
I don't have to know nothin'.
I was sick when you
gave out the assignment.

198
00:14:02,175 --> 00:14:05,042
Judy.

199
00:14:05,111 --> 00:14:07,477
A skipper is the man
who runs the ship,

200
00:14:07,547 --> 00:14:11,278
and Larry was not sick
when you gave out the assignment.

201
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,753
Thank you, Judy.

202
00:14:15,822 --> 00:14:18,347
Uh, Linda, suppose
you give us the next four lines.

203
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:21,018
Yes, Miss Canfield.

204
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:24,086
"Blue were her eyes as a fairy flax,

205
00:14:24,163 --> 00:14:26,131

[Poncho Whimpering]

207
00:14:30,002 --> 00:14:32,061
[Poncho Whimpers]
What was that?

208
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,542
Theodore, are you making noises?

209
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:39,874
No, Miss Canfield.

210
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:43,248
All right, Linda. Go on.

211
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:48,117
"And her bosom white
as the hawthorn buds, that o—"

212
00:14:49,522 --> 00:14:52,252
"ope in the month of May."

213
00:14:52,325 --> 00:14:54,293
[Poncho Whimpering]

214
00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:57,421
All right.
Just who is making the noise?

215
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:59,988
It came out of Beaver,
Miss Canfield.

216
00:15:00,066 --> 00:15:01,624
Is that right, Beaver?

217
00:15:05,338 --> 00:15:08,466
Well, it came out of me,
But I didn't make it.

218
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:11,305
Do you have something
in your jacket?

219
00:15:11,377 --> 00:15:13,572
You mean besides me?

220
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:15,671
I mean besides you.

221
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:19,841
Yes, Miss Canfield.

222
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:24,012
[Whimpering]

223
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:32,826
Beaver, you know
we can't have dogs in school.

224
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,666
I know, but he's so small.
He's hardly a dog at all.

225
00:15:37,737 --> 00:15:41,366
Well, nevertheless, I—
[Bell Rings]

226
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:44,569
The rest of you go to lunch.
I want to talk to Theodore.

227
00:15:44,644 --> 00:15:47,135
[Chattering]
All right, class.

228
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:01,216
I'm waiting for an explanation.

229
00:16:01,294 --> 00:16:03,854
I thunk you was.

230
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:07,627
Beaver, I'm sure you wouldn't
deliberately misbehave.

231
00:16:07,700 --> 00:16:10,396
— Did you bring the dog from home?
- Uh-huh.

232
00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:13,906
Well, you'll just have to use
your lunch hour to take him back.

233
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,876
I can't do that.
I had to bring him.

234
00:16:18,945 --> 00:16:21,573
Well, I don't quite see why.

235
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,640
Uh, on account of my father.

236
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:32,681
You mean your father
doesn't like dogs?

237
00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:34,726
No. I mean,yes.

238
00:16:34,794 --> 00:16:37,319
I mean, I think he's, uh,
allergic to 'em.

239
00:16:37,396 --> 00:16:40,024
Well, why did you bring
the dog to school?

240
00:16:40,099 --> 00:16:42,090
Uh.

241
00:16:43,102 --> 00:16:48,039
'cause Dad's gonna give
Poncho to a mean old lady
who hates dogs.

242
00:16:49,108 --> 00:16:53,169
Oh. Uh, well, if she hates dogs,
why is she going to take him?

243
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,850
Theodore, are you
telling me the truth?

244
00:17:05,691 --> 00:17:07,625
Not 'xactly.

245
00:17:08,995 --> 00:17:10,929
Is any of it the truth?

246
00:17:10,997 --> 00:17:13,795
No. Hardly any.

247
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:19,296
Well, I think we better
take the dog and go down
to Mrs. Rayburn's office.

248
00:17:21,674 --> 00:17:25,576
Gee, Miss Canfield.
I'd expect Mr. Bloomgarten
to squeal on me,

249
00:17:25,645 --> 00:17:27,579
but I thunk you was my friend.

250
00:17:29,782 --> 00:17:32,444
Well, I am your friend, Beaver.

251
00:17:32,518 --> 00:17:35,817
That's one of the reasons
I'm taking you to Mrs. Rayburn's office.

252
00:17:35,888 --> 00:17:37,822
Do you understand?

253
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,054
No. But if we gotta go,
let's go now.

254
00:17:46,933 --> 00:17:50,596
Well, I'm sorry, Collins,
but we can't have
this kind of slipshod work. Uh—

255
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:56,769
Look, you had the papers on this
two weeks ago. There's no reason for these
delays. They're costing us money. Yeah—

256
00:17:56,842 --> 00:17:59,140
[Beep]
Uh, wait just a minute.

257
00:17:59,211 --> 00:18:01,645
Yeah? Who? I

258
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:05,946
Mrs. Rayburn?
Well, uh, I'll call her back. —

259
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,588
All right. Put her on.
Uh, hang on, Collins.

260
00:18:11,657 --> 00:18:14,683
— Hello, Mrs. Rayburn.
— Mr. Cleaver?

261
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,921
I wonder if you could
come down to school.

262
00:18:16,996 --> 00:18:18,987
It's about Theodore.

263
00:18:20,866 --> 00:18:23,334
Yes, I think you should.

264
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:26,667
You see, he brought
a dog with him to school today.

265
00:18:26,739 --> 00:18:29,606
Mrs. Rayburn, he couldn't have
brought a dog to school.

266
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,371
You see, a woman was
coming by the house this morn—

267
00:18:33,546 --> 00:18:36,982
Uh, small, light—brownish dog.

268
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:41,679
Yeah. Uh, all right, Mrs. Rayburn.
I'll be right over.
And thank you for calling me.

269
00:18:41,754 --> 00:18:43,688
Y—Yes.

270
00:18:43,756 --> 00:18:48,693
Uh, I'll get back to you later, Collins.
I've gotta go over to school
and see about a Chihuahua. I—

271
00:18:49,729 --> 00:18:51,720
It's a dog.

272
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:56,096
Hi.

273
00:18:56,168 --> 00:18:57,396
Hi.
Hi, Mom.

274
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,404
Hi.

275
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:03,700
Gather Mrs. Rayburn
got in touch with you.

276
00:19:03,776 --> 00:19:08,406
She certainly did. Beaver,
go on upstairs to your room
and wait until I call you.

277
00:19:10,016 --> 00:19:12,314
Yes, Dad.

278
00:19:12,385 --> 00:19:15,115
[Ward]
Wally, you’d better go too.

279
00:19:15,187 --> 00:19:17,178
Yes, Dad.

280
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,756
Dad.

281
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:25,194
— You're not mad at me too, are ya?
— Not yet.

282
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:28,927
Oh.

283
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:39,104
June, do you mean to tell me
that Mrs. Rayburn called here first?

284
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,703
Yes, but I thought
you could handle it better.

285
00:19:42,715 --> 00:19:46,207
Mrs. Rayburn used to be
one of my teachers,
and she still makes me nervous.

286
00:19:46,285 --> 00:19:49,618
Oh, I've had
a delightful afternoon.

287
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:55,423
I had to cancel a business conference
in order to go over to school and find out
my son has no respect for the truth.

288
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:59,988
Now, Ward, before you go up there
and punish him, why don't we try
to figure out why he did it?

289
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:03,934
What is there to figure out?
He did it because he wanted
to keep somebody else's dog.

290
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:08,064
I think he did it because
he felt the dog loved him very much,
and that was something he needed.

291
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:11,041
Oh, now wait a minute, June.
What do you mean he needs love?

292
00:20:11,110 --> 00:20:13,135
He's got parents, hasn't he?
Don't we love him?

293
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:15,373
Yes, but it's different
with a little boy.

294
00:20:15,448 --> 00:20:19,646
When a dog loves you,
it doesn't ask a lot of questions
and make a lot of rules.

295
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,778
It just loves you.

296
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:24,414
Y—You know what I think?

297
00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:28,426
I think you're dramatizing
Beaver's motives
so I'll go easy on him.

298
00:20:28,494 --> 00:20:30,826
Let's face it.
He practically stole the dog.

299
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:34,832
But, Ward, if we don't—
[Doorbell Rings]

300
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:43,533
How do you do, Mrs. Cleaver?
I just stopped by again to see if
you've heard anything about Poncho.

301
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:45,736
Well, as a matter of fact,
we have, Mrs. Bennett.

302
00:20:45,811 --> 00:20:47,745
Oh, this is my husband,
Mr. Cleaver.

303
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,474
How do you do?
How do you do?

304
00:20:49,548 --> 00:20:51,982
This is Poncho's mother.
I mean owner.

305
00:20:52,985 --> 00:20:54,976
Ward, would you
get the boys, please?

306
00:20:57,890 --> 00:21:00,188
Won't you come in,
Mrs. Bennett?
Thank you.

307
00:21:03,062 --> 00:21:05,292
[Door Opens]

308
00:21:07,633 --> 00:21:09,760
All right, boys.
The lady's here for the dog.

309
00:21:09,835 --> 00:21:12,531
—Wally, will you bring it
downstairs, please?
— Yes, Dad.

310
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:21,311
Beaver, I want you to come down
and apologize to Mrs. Bennett.

311
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:23,211
Do I gotta, Dad?

312
00:21:26,118 --> 00:21:29,315
Seems like I'm apologizing
to just about everybody I know today.

313
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:34,883
I'd like to give your boy a reward.
Would you think a dollar would
be sufficient for the little fellow?

314
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,087
Well, that's very nice of you,
Mrs. Bennett,

315
00:21:37,163 --> 00:21:42,499
but in view of what's happened,
I don't think he should take a reward.
[Footsteps Approaching]

316
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:44,729
Poncho!

317
00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:48,865
Oh! Oh, you bad, bad,
naughty boy, you.

318
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:52,707
Why, shame on you
for running away
from these nice people.

319
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:55,838
He didn't run away
from us nice people.

320
00:21:55,915 --> 00:21:58,145
I took him to school
and kept him there.

321
00:21:58,217 --> 00:22:01,516
Well, why in the world
would you do that, little boy?

322
00:22:03,189 --> 00:22:07,990
Well,you see, I knew
I was gonna have to
give him back to ya,

323
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:10,756
but I only had him two days.

324
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:15,563
So I took him to school
Because I figured,
If I kept him a little longer,

325
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:17,568
he might remember me
a little better.

326
00:22:17,636 --> 00:22:20,070
Well—

327
00:22:22,975 --> 00:22:26,604
Well, I certainly will never
understand children.

328
00:22:26,679 --> 00:22:28,909
Well, come along, Poncho.

329
00:22:28,981 --> 00:22:30,949
You were a naughty boy.
Yes, you were.

330
00:22:31,016 --> 00:22:34,042
A naughty, naughty boy
to run away and leave.

331
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,110
Good—bye, Mrs. Bennett.

332
00:22:41,293 --> 00:22:45,252
Dad, should I go up
to my room now?

333
00:22:45,331 --> 00:22:47,322
Yeah.

334
00:22:57,509 --> 00:22:59,739
Are you still going to
punish him,Ward?

335
00:22:59,812 --> 00:23:01,973
Yes, I am.

336
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,515
But with a little different
attitude than before.

337
00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:11,252
Beaver's explanation
certainly went over
Mrs. Bennett's head, didn't it?

338
00:23:11,323 --> 00:23:13,757
Yeah.

339
00:23:13,826 --> 00:23:15,919
I'm sure glad it didn't
go over mine.

340
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:23,124
[Wally]
So long, Eddie.

341
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:28,573
Hi, Mom. I'm home.

342
00:23:28,641 --> 00:23:30,632
So you are.

343
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:34,978
How was school?
You know.

344
00:23:36,882 --> 00:23:38,941
Where's Beaver?

345
00:23:39,018 --> 00:23:42,283
Oh, he stayed after school.
He wanted to talk to
Miss Canfield.

346
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:44,322
You mean
she made him stay after?

347
00:23:44,390 --> 00:23:46,915
No. He just wanted to
tell her somethin'.

348
00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:50,018
When I was leaving
he was trying to get up the nerve.

349
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:53,292
When's supper?
In about an hour.

350
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:55,356
Good. I'm starved.

351
00:24:08,881 --> 00:24:12,282
Oh, Beaver.
You still at school?

352
00:24:12,351 --> 00:24:15,445
Yes, Miss Canfield.
I'm still at school.

353
00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:26,660
I just wanted to let you know
I'm not mad at you
for squealing on me yesterday.

354
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:31,529
Oh. Well, I'm glad
to know that, Beaver.

355
00:24:31,603 --> 00:24:34,401
Uh,you know, I have rules
I must follow too.

356
00:24:35,507 --> 00:24:38,408
Oh, sure. I understand now.

357
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,604
If you hadn't have done it,

358
00:24:40,679 --> 00:24:44,547
I would have gotten away with
somethin' that would've got me
in a lot worser trouble.

359
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:47,942
That's right, Beaver.

360
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,683
You see, that's why teachers
have to be strict sometimes.

361
00:24:51,757 --> 00:24:54,726
Well, if a teacher can keep you
out of little troubles now,

362
00:24:54,793 --> 00:24:58,058
there's a— a good chance
you'll keep out of
bigger troubles later on.

363
00:24:59,765 --> 00:25:01,756
Good night, Miss Canfield.

364
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,734
Good night, Beaver.
