1
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:27,383
You let some girl
get her hooks on you,
and you're dead.

2
00:00:27,461 --> 00:00:30,430
[Laugh]
Come on, fellas.

3
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,300
Wally?
What do you want,
Beave?

4
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:37,894
You don't like that
Mary Ellen, huh?

5
00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:41,702
Nah. She's too stuck up.
She thinks she's pretty.

6
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:45,939
But she is pretty.
Yeah, but she doesn't
have to act like she is.

7
00:00:58,358 --> 00:01:00,724
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

8
00:01:04,965 --> 00:01:09,334
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

9
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:13,665
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

10
00:01:18,111 --> 00:01:21,638
Hey, Wally, I said keep
stirring the beans.
They'll stick to the pot.

11
00:01:21,715 --> 00:01:26,152
Okay, Dad. But I think
they're stuck already.
Well, well,just stir 'em.

12
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:32,856
Oh, uh— Beaver! I said
fill the water glasses,
Son, not the tray.

13
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:35,861
Water's sorta hard to pour.
It's kinda loose.

14
00:01:35,929 --> 00:01:39,160
Yeah. Hmm.
Hey, Dad?

15
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:41,166
Yeah?
What time's Mom gettin' home?

16
00:01:41,234 --> 00:01:45,330
Well, she should be home by now.
She went to that meeting
at your school. |— Oh!

17
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:48,636
Uh— Oh, here.
Beaver, you'd better
get the butter out.

18
00:01:48,709 --> 00:01:50,643
Go ahead.
Get the butter out.

19
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,312
You know, Dad, eatin' dinner
is sure a lot easier
than cookin' it.

20
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:57,316
Yeah. When we started,
you said there was nothing to it.

21
00:01:57,384 --> 00:02:00,717
Boys— Beaver, I thought
I told you to get the butter out.

22
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,948
Yes, Dad.

23
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,051
Now, let's see. Uh—

24
00:02:08,729 --> 00:02:12,665
Well, hello, everybody.
Hi!
[Chuckles]

25
00:02:12,733 --> 00:02:16,100
How we doing?
Oh,just fine.just fine.

26
00:02:16,169 --> 00:02:18,660
Good.

27
00:02:18,739 --> 00:02:21,503
Oh. Too well done.

28
00:02:26,079 --> 00:02:28,070
The beans are sticking.

29
00:02:29,683 --> 00:02:31,708
Hello, dear.
Hi.

30
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:34,777
Oh, Beaver, honey.
Not lengthwise!

31
00:02:35,956 --> 00:02:37,981
What a mess!

32
00:02:38,058 --> 00:02:40,993
Beave, why don't you and Wally
put the glasses on the table.

33
00:02:41,061 --> 00:02:43,086
Okay, Mom.

34
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:48,264
Well, uh, everything
was going just fine, June.
[Chuckles]

35
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:50,326
Hey, Dad,
how's your burnt finger?

36
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:54,431
Uh, Wally.
you better get that water
on the table.

37
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,573
[Chuckles]

38
00:02:58,645 --> 00:03:02,081
Well, now,
how was the meeting?

39
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:05,983
Oh, fine. Mrs. Delany
made quite a speech.

40
00:03:06,053 --> 00:03:09,386
Seems there's a lack
of social awareness
in the eighth grade.

41
00:03:09,456 --> 00:03:10,787
Such as?

42
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:14,918
Such as the boys aren't as
aware of the girls as the girls
are aware of the boys.

43
00:03:14,995 --> 00:03:17,088
Oh.

44
00:03:17,164 --> 00:03:21,430
Well, I don't believe| achieved
the full power of my awareness
until I was in high school.

45
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:29,899
— What did Mrs. Delany suggest?
— Well, they've got an eighth—grade dance
planned for this Saturday night.

46
00:03:29,976 --> 00:03:32,774
They put me on the committee.

47
00:03:32,846 --> 00:03:35,212
You know, that's funny.
Wally hasn't mentioned
a dance, has he?

48
00:03:36,616 --> 00:03:38,948
Hope his gray suit
still fits him.

49
00:03:39,019 --> 00:03:42,250
Oh, got the water
on the table, boys?

50
00:03:42,322 --> 00:03:45,189
No, Dad.
We put it in glasses.

51
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,955
Hey, uh, Wally,
your mother was just telling me
there's a dance at school.

52
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:52,999
Yeah, I know.
Who are you gonna take?

53
00:03:55,635 --> 00:03:58,195
— Take?
— Yeah, take.

54
00:03:58,271 --> 00:04:00,262
You're surely not
going to a dance alone.

55
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:03,741
Oh, of course not, Dad.
I'm going with Eddie Haskell.

56
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:11,811
Well, I believe the idea of this dance
was to get the boys
and the girls together.

57
00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:14,854
Gee, no foolin', Dad?

58
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:24,755
Well, I hope it doesn't turn out
like Christine's party.

59
00:04:24,831 --> 00:04:29,131
The boys all just stood around,
and we had to dance
with ourselves.

60
00:04:29,202 --> 00:04:33,161
Well, my mother says that it's because
some boys are just shy with girls.

61
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,801
You suppose they're as scared of us
as we are of them?

62
00:04:36,877 --> 00:04:38,970
[All Laugh]

63
00:04:39,045 --> 00:04:41,445
[Boys Chattering]

64
00:04:41,515 --> 00:04:44,177
Hi, Wally.
Oh, hi, girls.

65
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:47,084
Hi, girls.
Hi, men.
[Laughs]

66
00:04:48,588 --> 00:04:52,957
You know? I might just go
with Wally Cleaver.

67
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:56,052
Like fun you will.
He's not taking a girl.

68
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:59,428
He's told everyone
he's going with Eddie Haskell.

69
00:04:59,499 --> 00:05:01,729
You just wait and see.

70
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,671
Hurry up, boys.
It's after 8:00!

71
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:08,765
They're getting a late start
for school, aren't they?

72
00:05:08,842 --> 00:05:12,903
I had to send them back upstairs.
We had a little sock problem.
Sock?

73
00:05:12,979 --> 00:05:17,507
Beaver wasn't wearing any,
and Wally had on a pair of yours.
Oh.

74
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:21,179
Now, how could
Wally wear—
Folded the toe back.

75
00:05:22,255 --> 00:05:25,247
Well, you've had three days
now for some gentle hints.

76
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,793
How are you coming along
with Wally's date
for Saturday night?

77
00:05:27,861 --> 00:05:31,820
Well, quite a few of the mothers
have called up to see if Wally
would go with their daughters.

78
00:05:31,898 --> 00:05:33,923
Yeah.
Was he impressed?

79
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,333
Uh—uh. The first two girls
I mentioned, he made a face,

80
00:05:37,404 --> 00:05:39,998
and the third one,
he said, "Are you kiddin'?"

81
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:43,673
Oh, here they come.
Why don't you try another one?

82
00:05:45,745 --> 00:05:48,578
Oh, I'm okay now, Mom.
I got on a pair of my own.

83
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:52,675
So long, Dad.
So long, Son.

84
00:05:52,752 --> 00:05:58,054
Oh, Wally, uh, I, uh—
Did you put the socks
where lean find them?

85
00:05:58,124 --> 00:06:01,753
Oh, sure, Dad. They're right up
on the hall table.
Okay.

86
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:04,524
Couldn't possibly miss 'em there.

87
00:06:04,598 --> 00:06:09,797
Wally! Wally, do you know
who I ran into in the market yesterday?

88
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:11,895
Uh—uh.
Mrs. Sutton.

89
00:06:11,972 --> 00:06:14,099
She has a daughter in your class.
And she was saying—

90
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:18,270
I told you before, Mom.
I'm goin' with Eddie Haskell.
So long.

91
00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:26,884
[Chuckles]
Well, I wouldn't be discouraged, dear.
Uh, I think there's real hope for him.

92
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:30,946
After all, he didn't
make a face this time.
[Laughs]

93
00:06:32,292 --> 00:06:36,228
— [Footsteps Approaching]
—I got socks on now, Mom.

94
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:38,491
Hey, that's some hairdo
you got there, Beave.

95
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,825
Yeah. I'm eatin' in the cafeteria
with a new friend.

96
00:06:42,903 --> 00:06:47,397
Well, that's nice, Beaver.
Must be some special friend
to get all spruced up.

97
00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:52,911
Well, you won't tell Wally,
will ya?

98
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:57,177
— Of course not, Beave.
— Well, it's Mary Ellen Rogers.

99
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:59,343
We "eated" together
for three days now.

100
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:01,444
Well, I gotta get goin'.

101
00:07:01,521 --> 00:07:03,489
Don't tell Wally,
'cause we're both
supposed to hate girls.

102
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:05,581
Oh, sure, Beave.

103
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,991
Well, bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.
[June] Bye.

104
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:13,055
[Door Slams]

105
00:07:13,133 --> 00:07:16,534
How do you like
that little character?
Sounds like he’s got a girl.

106
00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:18,730
Ward, you know
Mary Ellen Rogers.

107
00:07:18,805 --> 00:07:20,932
Why, she must be
13 years old.

108
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:23,373
Oh, Harry's daughter?
Uh-huh.

109
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:25,809
Why, she's in Wally's class.

110
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:30,373
Well, I wouldn't worry about
the Beaver. This sort of thing's
happened before, you know.

111
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:34,181
I understand Josephine
was eight years older
than Napoleon.

112
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,290
There you are.

113
00:07:43,363 --> 00:07:45,991
I saved you a pear.

114
00:07:46,066 --> 00:07:48,000
It's kinda squashy on one side.

115
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:51,868
Oh. Well.
no, thank you, Beaver.

116
00:07:58,111 --> 00:08:00,602
Hey, Mary Ellen,
tomorrow's Saturday.

117
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,342
Can I come over in the morning
and run your father's electric trains again?

118
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,476
Well, I don't know, Beaver.

119
00:08:06,553 --> 00:08:08,578
I think my mother
was sort of mad yesterday.

120
00:08:10,457 --> 00:08:12,391
On account of the engine
goin' off the tracks?

121
00:08:14,394 --> 00:08:18,160
No. She doesn't like me
to have a boy over by myself.

122
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:20,358
Oh.

123
00:08:21,868 --> 00:08:25,463
It might be all right, though,
if you brought somebody.

124
00:08:25,538 --> 00:08:28,507
Oh, sure. I'll bring my friend,
Larry Mondello.

125
00:08:28,575 --> 00:08:30,941
Well, I mean a bigger person.

126
00:08:31,011 --> 00:08:33,912
Gee, Larry weighs 145 pounds.

127
00:08:35,315 --> 00:08:39,308
I was thinking of
an older person. Well—

128
00:08:39,386 --> 00:08:41,513
Well, like your brother, Wally.

129
00:08:41,588 --> 00:08:44,819
I don't think he'd come.
He hates girls.

130
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:48,884
Well, then, I'm very sorry, Beaver,
but you'd better not come over.

131
00:08:50,997 --> 00:08:53,056
Well, I can at least ask him.

132
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:56,864
I don't know if he ever knew a girl
with electric trains before.

133
00:08:57,971 --> 00:08:59,996
Well, you let me know.

134
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:08,269
Good morning.
I'm sorry, dear. I guess
I kind of overslept this morning.

135
00:09:08,348 --> 00:09:12,307
Well, that's all right, dear.
I'll just run your coffee
through the grounds again.

136
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,945
Thank you.
I'll take it the way it is.

137
00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:20,459
Well, this is the day
of the big dance, isn't it?

138
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:24,358
Uh—huh. I finally talked Wally
into wearing his gray suit.

139
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:26,456
He wanted to go
in a turtleneck sweater.

140
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:31,466
How about Beaver and his
December and May romance?
Anything more on that?

141
00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:36,134
No, but something seemed to be
upsetting him this morning.
Hardly touched his breakfast.

142
00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:40,771
Well, if he's gonna be interested
in women, he'll have to get used to
a certain amount of misery.

143
00:09:40,847 --> 00:09:43,407
Now, how many women have
ever made you miserable?

144
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:46,350
[Chuckles]
Well—

145
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:50,446
Uh, June, you don't expect me
to answer a question like that?

146
00:09:50,523 --> 00:09:53,458
Sit down, dear.
I'll burn you some toast.

147
00:09:56,663 --> 00:09:58,961
Ward?
Mm—hmm.

148
00:09:59,032 --> 00:10:03,093
Do you know who I think
Wally's going to dance with?
Eddie Haskell.

149
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:05,103
I don't think so.

150
00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:09,403
I'll just bet you anything
that he ends up going
with Mary Ellen Rogers.

151
00:10:09,476 --> 00:10:14,243
Why?
I don't know.
I've just got a feeling.

152
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:17,044
Maybe it's because her
mother drives that Jaguar.

153
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,222
Hey, Beave,
they'll go on easier
if you stand up.

154
00:10:30,296 --> 00:10:32,321
I thunk I'd try it this way.

155
00:10:32,398 --> 00:10:35,959
I never heard of anybody gettin' 
Dressed sittin' in a chair before.

156
00:10:37,537 --> 00:10:39,562
Why stand up to do somethin'
you can do sittin' down?

157
00:10:41,708 --> 00:10:44,734
What you gonna
do today, Wally?

158
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:47,871
Well, I was gonna mess around
with Chester and Eddie,

159
00:10:47,947 --> 00:10:51,610
but Chester got a sore throat,
So I guess I'll just
mess around with Eddie.

160
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:53,709
[Beaver]
You’re always messin’ around
with those guys.

161
00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:56,482
I thought you'd like to
mess around with some other guys.

162
00:10:56,556 --> 00:10:59,286
Yeah? Like who?

163
00:11:01,094 --> 00:11:03,085
Like Mary Ellen Rogers.

164
00:11:03,163 --> 00:11:05,723
Why would I wanna
mess around with her?

165
00:11:05,798 --> 00:11:08,096
Cause her father's
got 'lectric trains.

166
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:13,333
No foolin'?
What kind of electric trains?

167
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:15,772
A whole big set.

168
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:19,073
Is that why you've been talkin'
to Mary Ellen in the cafeteria?

169
00:11:19,145 --> 00:11:22,171
Yeah. I've been over to her house.

170
00:11:22,248 --> 00:11:24,273
I even jumped a train
right off the track.

171
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:30,456
Well, electric trains are okay, Beaver,
but, well, Mary Ellen's a girl.

172
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,492
How could you run
an electric train with a girl?

173
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,290
She's really not
so much like a girl.

174
00:11:36,362 --> 00:11:39,627
— She can make a muscle
and everything.
—Yeah, but still.

175
00:11:43,169 --> 00:11:45,637
Why don't you come over
with me, Wally?

176
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,572
And we could both have fun
runnin' the 'lectric trains.

177
00:11:48,641 --> 00:11:52,133
Yeah, but Mary Ellen
will still be there.

178
00:11:53,479 --> 00:11:56,710
She'll probably be up
washin' her hair or somethin'.

179
00:11:56,783 --> 00:12:00,150
Why don't you come with me, Wally?
They're real neat trains!

180
00:12:01,221 --> 00:12:04,679
They are, huh?
They sure are.

181
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:08,193
Well, maybe I will.
I can mess around with Eddie
tonight at the dance.

182
00:12:08,261 --> 00:12:10,195
Sure, you can.

183
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:20,597
I'm sorry, Eddie.
I don't know where Wally went.

184
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:23,608
He went off someplace
with the Beaver.

185
00:12:23,676 --> 00:12:26,577
Well, you'll just
have to mess around
with someone else today.

186
00:12:29,782 --> 00:12:31,807
What?

187
00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:36,753
No, I'm sorry, Eddie, but Wally
is not wearing his turtleneck sweater
to the dance tonight.

188
00:12:38,725 --> 00:12:42,456
Well, thank you, Eddie.
It's nice to talk to you too.

189
00:12:42,528 --> 00:12:46,089
Good—bye.
June, where are the boys?

190
00:12:46,165 --> 00:12:50,033
I wanna find out which one of them
used my hedge clippers
to cut tar paper with.

191
00:12:50,103 --> 00:12:55,097
Well, they went out.
And, well, I guess I did it.

192
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:59,070
You used my hedge clippers
to cut tar paper with?

193
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:02,205
Well, I was lining
the window boxes.

194
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:06,116
And, well, the clippers
got so gummed up,
they wouldn't cut anything.

195
00:13:06,185 --> 00:13:08,551
June, you—

196
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:11,784
W—
[Sighs]

197
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:18,561
The boys are out, huh?
Uh—huh, they went out
about a half an hour ago.

198
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:21,327
They both left here
with their hair combed.

199
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:24,461
I don't know why that bothers me,
but it does.

200
00:13:38,785 --> 00:13:40,753
They're real neat,
aren't they, Wally?

201
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:44,551
Boy, they sure are.
Your father must be okay,
Mary Ellen.

202
00:13:44,624 --> 00:13:47,149
Yeah, and he's hardly ever around.

203
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:54,832
[Train Whistle Blows]

204
00:13:57,236 --> 00:13:59,864
[Train Engines Stop]

205
00:13:59,939 --> 00:14:01,873
Aren't we gonna run
the electric trains no more?

206
00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:07,340
Well, I thought we could all have
some ginger ale or something.

207
00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,381
That's okay with me.

208
00:14:09,449 --> 00:14:11,542
Me too!

209
00:14:11,617 --> 00:14:14,711
Beaver, why don't you get it?
There's a lot of stuffin the icebox.

210
00:14:14,787 --> 00:14:17,620
— Me?
— Would you please, Beaver?

211
00:14:19,826 --> 00:14:21,953
Okay.

212
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,960
This is a nice room.

213
00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:34,830
Thank you.

214
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,089
Um, we're gonna
get algebra next year.
You think you're gonna like it?

215
00:14:52,158 --> 00:14:57,323
Oh, I don't know.
All those silly X's and Y's.

216
00:14:58,865 --> 00:15:04,064
Yeah.
But I'm gonna take it though,
'cause I'm gonna be an engineer.

217
00:15:04,137 --> 00:15:06,731
And my dad says you can't
count on your fingers.

218
00:15:06,806 --> 00:15:09,172
An engineer, my.

219
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:11,335
Yeah.

220
00:15:13,446 --> 00:15:15,778
Wally, you've got curly hair.

221
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:20,014
Well, I put junk on it,
but what can you do?

222
00:15:20,086 --> 00:15:22,714
Yeah.

223
00:15:24,557 --> 00:15:26,582
Are you going to
that dance tonight?

224
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:29,219
Well,yeah. My mom's
kinda makin' me.

225
00:15:29,295 --> 00:15:31,263
I think she's on the committee
or somethin'.

226
00:15:31,330 --> 00:15:35,528
Oh, I wouldn't go at all,
but if I don't,

227
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:38,434
well, the other girls
will think I'm stuck—up.

228
00:15:38,504 --> 00:15:40,597
You mean you don't
wanna go much either?

229
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:45,508
Oh, no. And I think it's awful
the way some of these girls...

230
00:15:45,578 --> 00:15:49,605
like Kathleen and Frances
will just do anything
to get a boy to take them.

231
00:15:49,682 --> 00:15:52,378
Aren't you going with a boy?

232
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:57,151
Oh, no.
I wouldn't go at all, except—
Well, you know how it is.

233
00:15:57,223 --> 00:16:02,320
Yeah, I wouldn't go either,
but my mom's on the committee
or something.

234
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:09,928
You know, Wally,
I was just thinking.

235
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:15,907
You're going to have to go,
and, well, I'm going to have to go.

236
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:18,341
— Maybe—
— Wally! Wally!

237
00:16:19,912 --> 00:16:22,847
—I found some doughnuts.
— Hey, great, Beave.

238
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:42,765
How come you guys
stopped talkin' when I come in?

239
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:47,401
— Did we?
— Yeah.

240
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:51,405
How come you're not
runnin' the 'lectric trains?

241
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:54,776
Well, Beaver—

242
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:57,543
Beaver, I-I thought you were going
to get us some ginger ale.

243
00:16:57,617 --> 00:16:59,710
Oh,yeah. I guess I forgot.

244
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,748
When I come back
we can run the electric trains.

245
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:15,066
Well, what do you think, Wally?

246
00:17:15,134 --> 00:17:19,594
Huh? Oh!
They're real good doughnuts.

247
00:17:20,773 --> 00:17:23,503
Well, I mean about the dance.

248
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:26,773
I mean after all, it—it looks like
we're both going to have to go,

249
00:17:26,846 --> 00:17:29,144
even though neither one of us
is going to like it.

250
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:31,240
And I was just thinking—

251
00:17:31,317 --> 00:17:33,581
Well, maybe
we could go together.

252
00:17:36,289 --> 00:17:38,587
Well, why would we do that for?

253
00:17:40,059 --> 00:17:43,722
Well, if you don't like something,

254
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:47,391
it's always good to have someone
with you not to like it with.

255
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,764
If you know what I mean.

256
00:17:51,671 --> 00:17:55,038
Oh, sure. Like up at scout camp
when it's your turn
to bury the garbage,

257
00:17:55,107 --> 00:17:57,405
they always let you
do it in pairs.

258
00:17:57,476 --> 00:18:01,105
Then you think I'm right
about the dance?

259
00:18:02,648 --> 00:18:04,946
Well, I-I guess so.

260
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:08,783
I found the ginger ale.
Oh, Thank you, Beaver.

261
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:11,345
I put ice in it
and everything.

262
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:21,823
You stopped talkin' again.

263
00:18:24,370 --> 00:18:27,430
Beaver, why don't you go out
and have yours in the kitchen?

264
00:18:29,175 --> 00:18:31,507
Why? I want to have it
with you guys.

265
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:36,476
Well, Wally and I are talking
about something important.

266
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:38,813
Aren't we, Wally?

267
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,216
Uh, yeah. I guess so.

268
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:50,452
Oh. I think I'll drink my ginger ale,
and then I'll go home.

269
00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:53,794
Will you be comin' then, Wally?

270
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:56,858
Well—
Oh, he'll be along later, Beaver.

271
00:18:59,705 --> 00:19:02,697
Uh,yeah.
I guess I'll be along later.

272
00:19:02,775 --> 00:19:07,007
Oh. Yeah.
Well, so long.

273
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:16,182
— Hey, Wally.
—Yeah?

274
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:19,224
[Growls]

275
00:19:19,291 --> 00:19:21,759
What did he do that for?

276
00:19:21,827 --> 00:19:25,763
I don't know.
Kids are always 
doin' somethin' goofy.

277
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,735
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Beave.

278
00:19:39,879 --> 00:19:43,747
What you doing there?
Cleaning the tar
off these hedge clippers.

279
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:47,081
How did it get there?

280
00:19:47,153 --> 00:19:49,087
Your mother
cut tar paper with them.

281
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:54,421
Aren't you supposed to
cut hedges with 'em?
That's right.

282
00:19:56,429 --> 00:19:58,693
Then how come Mom
cut tar paper with 'em?

283
00:20:01,033 --> 00:20:04,730
Well, Beaver, that's one
of the things it's not given us
to understand about women.

284
00:20:07,006 --> 00:20:10,407
You know a lot about women,
don't you, Dad?

285
00:20:10,476 --> 00:20:13,934
[Chuckles]
Yeah, I guess so.

286
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:19,182
Dad, with cowboys and Indians,

287
00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:22,243
there's good guys
and bad guys, isn't there?

288
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:24,687
Mm—hmm.

289
00:20:26,826 --> 00:20:28,919
Is it the same with women?

290
00:20:28,994 --> 00:20:32,395
Yeah, Beaver, I guess you could say
there's good ones and bad ones.

291
00:20:36,135 --> 00:20:38,933
Do you know Mary Ellen Rogers?

292
00:20:39,004 --> 00:20:41,029
Yeah, I've seen her.

293
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:44,304
Do you think
she's a good one or a bad one?

294
00:20:47,413 --> 00:20:49,608
Beaver, why would you ask
a question like that?

295
00:20:49,682 --> 00:20:51,912
I thought Mary Ellen
was a good friend of yours.

296
00:20:51,984 --> 00:20:54,953
So did I.

297
00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:58,956
But I brought Wally over there,
and they both looked at each other.

298
00:20:59,024 --> 00:21:01,424
Then they told me to
drink my ginger ale in the kitchen.

299
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:04,895
Uh-huh.

300
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:09,060
Well, Beaver,
I'm afraid Mary Ellen may have
just got friendly with you...

301
00:21:09,135 --> 00:21:12,434
so she could get Wally to
take her to the dance tonight.

302
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:15,606
I'm afraid so too.

303
00:21:17,343 --> 00:21:19,811
You know, I think
you learned quite a lot
about women today.

304
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:23,838
You can count yourself fortunate
you learned with something
as inexpensive as ginger ale.

305
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:30,722
You know, Dad,
now it's all over with,

306
00:21:30,790 --> 00:21:32,781
I feel kinda silly.

307
00:21:35,828 --> 00:21:40,390
Well, Beaver,
I'll tell you something
about women.

308
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:44,596
They have a wonderful capacity
for love and understanding.

309
00:21:44,670 --> 00:21:49,164
Their tenderness and sweetness
are all—encompassing.

310
00:21:49,241 --> 00:21:55,043
But at times, they do
have a knack of making us men
look very, very silly.

311
00:21:55,114 --> 00:21:57,480
I heard that, Ward Cleaver.

312
00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:01,480
Oh, hi, Mom.
Yeah. Hi, Mom.

313
00:22:03,355 --> 00:22:06,415
Hi. Ward,you oughta
be ashamed of yourself,

314
00:22:06,492 --> 00:22:09,017
putting ideas like that
in the Beaver's mind.

315
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:12,552
Oh, yeah? Do you know
what Mary Ellen Rogers did?

316
00:22:12,631 --> 00:22:15,532
She used the Beaver
in order to get Wally
to take her to the dance tonight.

317
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:20,866
And don't look so shocked,
because it's exactly
what you predicted she'd do.

318
00:22:21,941 --> 00:22:26,037
I'm not shocked! As a woman,
I'm very proud of Mary Ellen.

319
00:22:26,111 --> 00:22:28,409
You mean you think
women should act this way?

320
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,313
It's the way women have to act!

321
00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:34,750
Well, if we sat around
and waited until you men
got interested in us...

322
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:37,254
and got good and ready
to settle down and ha i/e families,

323
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:39,917
why, this—this
whole continent of America...

324
00:22:39,992 --> 00:22:44,224
would be nothing but buffaloes,
jackrabbits and grizzly bears!

325
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:47,898
Now, look, June—

326
00:22:47,967 --> 00:22:50,458
Now I'm gonna go up,
and I'm gonna lay out Wally's gray suit.

327
00:22:50,536 --> 00:22:53,733
You call the florist,
and you order a corsage
for Mary Ellen.

328
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:55,740
[Ward]
Yes, dear.

329
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:03,107
Did you win, Dad?

330
00:23:05,584 --> 00:23:09,111
Well, Beaver, sometimes
I'm not sure whether us men
are ever supposed to win.

331
00:23:12,424 --> 00:23:15,791
[Chuckles]
Do you understand
any of this, Beaver?

332
00:23:16,829 --> 00:23:20,094
Not 'zactly.

333
00:23:20,165 --> 00:23:24,966
But I think beginning Monday,
I'll start eatin' with my friend
Larry Mondello again.

334
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:50,551
[Chuckles]
Dad is waiting in the car,
Mr. Cleaver.

335
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:52,859
Oh, good, good.

336
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:57,535
Wally will be down in a minute,
Mary Ellen.

337
00:23:59,238 --> 00:24:01,763
My, you look nice.

338
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,331
Oh, Thank you.

339
00:24:04,410 --> 00:24:07,208
I, uh, hope the corsage
was all right.

340
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:10,612
Oh, yes.
Wally has wonderful taste.

341
00:24:13,218 --> 00:24:16,119
[Chuckles]
Well—

342
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:19,282
Hello, Wally.
Hi.

343
00:24:22,695 --> 00:24:26,961
Wally, aren’t you going to tell
Mary Ellen ho w nice she looks?

344
00:24:27,032 --> 00:24:31,162
Well, gee, Mom,
I was gonna tell her that
when we got outside.

345
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:38,007
Well—
Yeah, well—

346
00:24:38,077 --> 00:24:40,068
[Ward]
Have a good time, kids.

347
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:42,136

351
00:24:54,493 --> 00:24:57,394
[Chuckles]

352
00:25:02,568 --> 00:25:06,060
Well, Beaver, you didn't even
speak to Mary Ellen.
You're not still mad at her, are you?

353
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:10,541
Not exactly. |just didn't
want to let her know
I knew she was there.

354
00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:17,144
[Beaver]
Good night.
Good night.
