1
00:00:26,293 --> 00:00:29,456
Wally, if you go to
this marching school,

2
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:33,261
you think they'll let you bring
your horse home on weekends?
I don't think so.

3
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:36,393
But maybe you can come up
and spend a weekend with me
and the horse.

4
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,797
That'd be almost
as good as going.

5
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:46,036
— What you doin', Wally?
— Just sorting out my junk.

6
00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:49,480
If a guy's gonna leave home,
he should put away the stuff
he's not gonna use.

7
00:00:54,021 --> 00:00:56,353
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

8
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:05,030
Starring Barbara Billingsley
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow...

9
00:01:06,133 --> 00:01:09,159
and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

10
00:01:11,538 --> 00:01:16,168
Oh, certainly, Mrs. Franklin.
I'm sure Wally and the Beaver
will be delighted.

11
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:19,538
Thank you. Bye.

12
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:22,081
What are forcing our boys
to be delighted about now?

13
00:01:22,149 --> 00:01:26,051
That was Bernice Franklin. Her boy,
Johnny, is home from military school...

14
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:29,088
and he's coming over
to see Wally and the Beaver.
Johnny Franklin?

15
00:01:29,156 --> 00:01:34,219
Oh, that's the kid we took fishing.
He fell out of the boat...
with the lunch.

16
00:01:34,294 --> 00:01:37,730
Oh, no. That was a different Johnny.
This is Johnny Franklin.

17
00:01:37,798 --> 00:01:42,667
He was a grade ahead of Wally,
and he went away to military school
about a year ago.

18
00:01:42,736 --> 00:01:45,261
So?

19
00:01:45,339 --> 00:01:47,637
So he's coming over.

20
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:49,801
Oh, good.

21
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:53,640
— Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.
— Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.

22
00:01:53,714 --> 00:01:58,674
— Hey, kids, where you going?
— Over to the new supermarket, Dad.
They're givin' out free samples.

23
00:01:58,752 --> 00:02:00,686
And there's gonna be
a real live movie star there.

24
00:02:02,055 --> 00:02:04,615
What movie star?
[Wally]
Well, I don't know, Mom.

25
00:02:04,691 --> 00:02:07,057
It's one of these movie stars
you never heard of before.

26
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:11,497
But it says out front
he's a real live movie star though.

27
00:02:11,565 --> 00:02:15,558
[June]
We/l, boys, you can go over there later.
Johnny Franklin’s coming over to see you

28
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:19,902
Johnny—
Oh, yeah. He used to be
in the eighth grade.

29
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:22,066
[Wally]
Gee, Mom, do we have to stay home?

30
00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:24,508
Uh—huh. His mother says
he's on his way over.

31
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:30,645
But, Mom, if we don't get
over to the supermarket now,
all the free samples will be gone.

32
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:32,912
And the movie star
will have went home.

33
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:35,853
Gone home, Beaver.

34
00:02:35,922 --> 00:02:38,083
Anyway, you said no one
ever heard of him before.

35
00:02:38,158 --> 00:02:41,218
Come on, boys.

36
00:02:41,294 --> 00:02:44,786
You wait upstairs.
And when Johnny gets here,
we'll send him up.

37
00:02:44,865 --> 00:02:48,426
Okay, Mom. But, gee,
our whole day is spoiled.

38
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:54,666
Well, offhand, I'd say
they weren't too happy
About Johnny coming over.

39
00:02:54,741 --> 00:02:58,802
Well, it's pretty hard to compete
with an anonymous movie star.

40
00:03:02,249 --> 00:03:06,208
Hey, look, Wally.
I finally got the eyes in the clown.

41
00:03:06,286 --> 00:03:09,585
Hey, that's pretty good.
How'd you do it?

42
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:13,057
I took the top off and stuck 'em in.
Oh, yeah.

43
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:17,057
Boys, look who's here—
Johnny Franklin.

44
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:20,691
Yeah. Uh...

45
00:03:22,636 --> 00:03:25,730
— Uh, well, hi,Johnny.
— Hi, men.

46
00:03:25,806 --> 00:03:30,800
- Hi.
—Well, I guess you boys
have a lot to talk about.

47
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:34,335
Um, thank you, Mrs. Cleaver,
for letting me come over.

48
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:36,541
You're welcome.

49
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,220
That sure is a neat army suit.

50
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,761
Oh, it's just a school uniform.

51
00:03:48,829 --> 00:03:53,266
That's pretty neat.
Oh, hey, you wanna sit down?

52
00:03:54,401 --> 00:03:57,097
It won't hurt your suit,
will it?

53
00:03:57,170 --> 00:04:00,003
thank you.

54
00:04:01,408 --> 00:04:04,377
June, this is the third time
I've tightened these hinges.

55
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:07,413
I wish the boys wouldn't
slam the back door.

56
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:11,383
All right, dear, I'll have them
slam the front door for a while.

57
00:04:11,451 --> 00:04:13,578
Oh, thanks.

58
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:16,144
Hey, uh,Johnny really looked sharp
in his uniform, didn't he?

59
00:04:16,223 --> 00:04:20,956
And he's so polite. Really polite.
Not like Eddie Haskell.

60
00:04:21,027 --> 00:04:23,154
I think Johnny really means it.
Yeah.

61
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:26,427
Do you really get to
march every day?

62
00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:30,937
Well, sure. And on Saturdays, we have
a parade with a band and everything.

63
00:04:31,004 --> 00:04:33,666
Boy, that sure sounds swell.

64
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,834
— Oh, I bet you don't
get to carry guns though.
— Why, sure we do.

65
00:04:36,910 --> 00:04:39,037
Can you shoot
real bullets with 'em?

66
00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:43,515
Well, the big guys have a rifle team,
but we drill with wooden guns.

67
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:48,111
Well, gee, what's the good of
havin' a gun if you can't shoot it?

68
00:04:50,524 --> 00:04:55,359
Well, if there was
an invasion or something,
you could hit guys with it.

69
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,362
Boy, it sure sounds like
a neat school.

70
00:04:57,430 --> 00:05:02,868
Sure, it is. And in gym,
we practice rope climbing and tumbling
and wrestling and stuff like that.

71
00:05:04,437 --> 00:05:06,701
Gee, I never heard of a school
where you could have fun before.

72
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:09,298
We even have horseback riding
and swimming.

73
00:05:11,111 --> 00:05:15,707
We even have two guys from
the regular army to teach us the drillin'.

74
00:05:15,782 --> 00:05:20,515
And you know somethin' else?
All our teachers are men,
well, except the nurse.

75
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:24,148
Oh, boy!
All men teachers, huh?

76
00:05:25,492 --> 00:05:28,017
No lady teachers?

77
00:05:28,094 --> 00:05:31,029
Not a single one.
You mean
you don't have to wash?

78
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:36,929
Well, sure they make us wash.
You get demerits if they find dirt on you.

79
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:41,872
Well, gee, Beaver, you have to wash,
no matter where you go to school.

80
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:44,410
Yeah, I guess so.

81
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:50,076
Say, Wally, where are you goin'
to school next year?

82
00:05:51,952 --> 00:05:53,977
Well, I don't know.

83
00:05:54,054 --> 00:05:56,181
I guess Mayfield High
with Eddie and the other guys.

84
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,626
Yeah, I guess that's
an all right school.

85
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,853
Yeah, I guess
it's an all right school.

86
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:08,467
Of course, they—
they don't have horses.

87
00:06:09,803 --> 00:06:12,567
They don't have guns either,
not even wooden ones.

88
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,972
— Yeah.
— Yeah.

89
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,478
Well, men, I've gotta get going.

90
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:23,448
I have to report back to school.
I'm on sentry duty tomorrow.

91
00:06:24,951 --> 00:06:28,512
Sentry duty?

92
00:06:28,588 --> 00:06:31,113
You mean you get to shoot at guys
that don't know the password?

93
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:34,058
No. Tomorrow's visiting day,

94
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:37,255
and we stand around the campus
and direct the parents
to where the washrooms are.

95
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,827
Well, I really have to get going now.

96
00:06:43,904 --> 00:06:46,338
It's nice talking to you, men.

97
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:48,533
Uh, yeah.

98
00:06:55,015 --> 00:06:57,950
Hey, that was pretty snappy, huh?

99
00:06:58,018 --> 00:07:00,953
Yeah, they must give 'em
turning around lessons too.

100
00:07:01,021 --> 00:07:02,955
I don't really think it was so hard.

101
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,529
I'm sorry you have to
leave so soon, Johnny.

102
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:16,501
I'm sorry too, Mrs. Cleaver,
but I have to report back tonight.
I'm on sentry duty.

103
00:07:16,569 --> 00:07:18,503
Sentry duty, huh?

104
00:07:18,571 --> 00:07:22,871
Well! Well, uh, drop in
anytime you're home,john.

105
00:07:22,943 --> 00:07:24,877
thank you, sir.

106
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:36,889
At ease, men.

107
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:39,858
I can't help it, dear.
I used to be a Seabee.

108
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:42,793
I'm always a little self—conscious
in the presence of that much brass.

109
00:07:42,862 --> 00:07:45,160
Pow. Pow.

110
00:07:50,003 --> 00:07:52,096
Pow.

111
00:07:53,707 --> 00:07:57,507
Hey, you know, Beaver, I might ask Dad
If I can go to Bellport next year.

112
00:07:58,678 --> 00:08:01,408
I thought you wanted to go to Mayfield
with Eddie and the other guys.

113
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:06,043
Yeah, but I've been thinkin'.
Who wants to be like Eddie Haskell?

114
00:08:07,854 --> 00:08:10,049
But he's your best friend,
isn't he?

115
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:13,286
Well, that's what he's always tellin' me,

116
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,488
but he's kind of a creepy guy
to have for a best friend.

117
00:08:16,563 --> 00:08:18,497
He sure is.

118
00:08:21,568 --> 00:08:23,661
You gonna ask Dad
if you can go to Bellport?

119
00:08:23,737 --> 00:08:26,103
Well, not all at once.

120
00:08:26,172 --> 00:08:30,233
You know,
if you want somethin' real good,
you gotta be careful how you ask.

121
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:35,873
What do you mean?
Well, if you come right out and ask 'em
and then they say no, you're dead.

122
00:08:37,384 --> 00:08:39,511
Yeah.

123
00:08:40,587 --> 00:08:45,456
Sure wish I could
go to military school.
You're not old enough yet, Beave.

124
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:51,430
I know. But I'd sure like to be
on sentry duty and tell people
where is the washrooms.

125
00:08:53,900 --> 00:08:56,027
Pow.

126
00:08:56,102 --> 00:09:00,869
Well, fellows, uh,
what did you and Johnny Franklin
talk about this morning?

127
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,738
Oh, things and stuff.

128
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:07,871
Well, it seems funny you wouldn't
find much to talk about. You haven't
seen him in almost a year.

129
00:09:07,947 --> 00:09:11,405
Yeah. Well, I guess that's why
we didn't have much to talk about.
[Chuckles]

130
00:09:12,786 --> 00:09:15,380
I thought he looked
very nice in his uniform.

131
00:09:17,824 --> 00:09:19,724
Dad,

132
00:09:20,994 --> 00:09:23,622
a long time ago,
you were a kid once, weren't you?

133
00:09:23,696 --> 00:09:26,722
— Well—
— I think he was.

134
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,997
That's, uh, one of the things
that's rather hard to avoid.

135
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,664
— Uh-huh.
— Uh.

136
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:37,568
did, uh, you ever ride a horse?

137
00:09:37,644 --> 00:09:43,014
Did I ever ride a horse? Well, I was
practically brought up on a farm.
We rode 'em bareback.

138
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:45,984
Ah, you kids don't know
what you missed.

139
00:09:46,052 --> 00:09:50,751
— Did you ever shoot a gun?
— Well, when I was old enough,
I went hunting with my father.

140
00:09:52,192 --> 00:09:55,355
Gee, you must have had
a lot of fun when you were a kid.

141
00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:59,990
I sure did.
[Chuckles]

142
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:04,366
I-I remember one time
my brother and I—

143
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:08,771
— Ward, please.
— Oh, this was my younger brother, dear.

144
00:10:08,842 --> 00:10:14,007
Uh, anyway, Dad let us take these
two horses and we rode way over to—
Dad?

145
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,379
Uh, could I go to
Bellport Military Academy next year?

146
00:10:20,787 --> 00:10:24,780
Why, Wally, uh, why would you
bring that subject up?

147
00:10:24,858 --> 00:10:27,656
Uh, 'cause they got
horses and guns there.

148
00:10:29,963 --> 00:10:34,127
But, Wally, I thought you wanted
to go to high school here
with all of your friends?

149
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,430
Well, gee, Dad,
it's a real neat school.

150
00:10:36,503 --> 00:10:40,872
They teach you marching
and wrestling and swimming,
and I'd get good marks. Couldn't I go?

151
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:44,706
Why, Wally, you wouldn't
wanna leave us, would you?

152
00:10:44,777 --> 00:10:48,042
Well, gee, how else
could I go away to school?

153
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:54,580
Well, uh, Wally, this is quite a surprise
you've sprung on us, uh—

154
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,679
You mean I can go?

155
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,190
Well, uh,

156
00:10:59,259 --> 00:11:02,285
um, well, at least
I'll look into it.

157
00:11:02,362 --> 00:11:04,660
But it'd take a lot
of thought though.

158
00:11:04,731 --> 00:11:07,063
We'll see what we can do.

159
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,158
Gee, thanks, Dad.

160
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:12,432
Mom, can we stick our dishes
in the sink now?

161
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:15,338
Yes, you may be excused.

162
00:11:19,913 --> 00:11:22,245
Wally, does this mean
you really get to go?

163
00:11:22,315 --> 00:11:24,442
Well, I sure hope so, Beave.

164
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:30,154
Huh. He wants to go
to military school.

165
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:33,215
Well, of course he does,
the way you encouraged him.

166
00:11:33,293 --> 00:11:35,386
June, I didn't encourage him.

167
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:39,488
Well, you did all that bragging
about horses and guns.

168
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:44,367
Well, you know, military school
might do Wally a lot of good.
He might be very happy up there.

169
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:46,598
Now listen, Ward,
if he's going to be happy,

170
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:51,201
I want him to be happy
right here at home where
we can keep an eye on him.

171
00:11:51,277 --> 00:11:54,940
Of course, with all this talk
about going away, uh,

172
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:59,178
maybe he's not
as happy here at home
as we think he is.

173
00:11:59,252 --> 00:12:01,311
What do you mean by that?

174
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:03,912
Well, I mean, he's practically
ready for high school,

175
00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:08,017
and he's— he's always had to
share a room with his brother,
and, uh—

176
00:12:08,094 --> 00:12:13,396
Well, and anyway, it's perfectly natural
for a kid to wanna get away
from his mother's apron strings.

177
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:16,902
What do you mean
my apron strings?

178
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:22,602
Uh, nothing. Uh, that was
a poor choice of words.

179
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:25,075
It certainly was.

180
00:12:25,144 --> 00:12:28,272
Look,June, Wally
brought the subject up.

181
00:12:28,348 --> 00:12:33,752
Now it seems to me that the least
we can do is to get an application
and find out about the school.

182
00:12:33,820 --> 00:12:36,288
And if we're satisfied
and if he really wants to go,

183
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:38,916
I think we oughta let him go
where he'll be happy.

184
00:12:40,393 --> 00:12:43,226
All right.
You send for the application,

185
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:47,255
and if he wants to go,
we'll let him go
where he's gonna be happy.

186
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:50,302
I'm glad we agree.
But there's only one thing, Ward.

187
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:55,137
If he gets homesick or—
or a horse bites him or something,
I'll never forgive you!

188
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:02,742
“List applicant's allergies, if any."

189
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:10,078
What's that?
Oh, it's an application from
Bellport Military Academy.

190
00:13:10,156 --> 00:13:14,024
They wanna know more about our boy
than we know about him.

191
00:13:14,093 --> 00:13:19,793
You think Wally really wants to go?
He's gotten excited about things
before, and then he's lost interest.

192
00:13:19,866 --> 00:13:24,496
Oh,June, he's talked about
nothing else for the last week.
They want a picture of him too.

193
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:27,471
Send that one in his blue suit.

194
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:30,600
No, I think I'll send the one
in the baseball uniform.

195
00:13:37,183 --> 00:13:40,380
Wally, if you go to
this marching school,

196
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:44,184
you think they'll let you bring
your horse home on weekends?
I don't think so.

197
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:47,317
But maybe you can come up
and spend a weekend with me
and the horse.

198
00:13:48,361 --> 00:13:50,727
That'd be almost
as good as going.

199
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:56,926
— What you doin', Wally?
—just sorting out my junk.

200
00:13:57,003 --> 00:14:00,166
If a guy's gonna leave home,
he should put away the stuff
he's not gonna use.

201
00:14:02,308 --> 00:14:05,243
But you won't be leavin'
for a whole nother year.

202
00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:10,374
Well,yeah.
Well, a guy should do it anyway.

203
00:14:12,251 --> 00:14:16,085
Oh, here.
You can have my snakeskin.

204
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:18,350
Wally, did you really
take this off a snake?

205
00:14:18,424 --> 00:14:23,020
Nah. Me and Eddie found it.
Every year, snakes crawl out
of their old skins.

206
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:28,697
I wonder how a snake makes
a hole in the top of himself
so he can climb out.

207
00:14:28,768 --> 00:14:32,135
Well, I don't know.
I guess you have to be a snake
to know that.

208
00:14:32,205 --> 00:14:34,366
Yeah, I guess so.

209
00:14:37,810 --> 00:14:42,076
Wally, if you go to
this marching school,

210
00:14:42,148 --> 00:14:46,380
I guess we won't be goin'
down to the lake anymore
and catchin' polliwogs.

211
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:49,148
No, I guess not.

212
00:14:49,222 --> 00:14:52,123
Of course,
when I go down to the lake,

213
00:14:52,191 --> 00:14:55,592
I can always take
Larry Mondello with me,
if it's all right with you?

214
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:59,119
Sure, it's all right with me.
You can take Larry.

215
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,428
— No.
— Huh?

216
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:09,205
It takes a certain kind of guy
to catch polliwogs with.

217
00:15:09,275 --> 00:15:11,334
How come?

218
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:16,781
Well, first you gotta find a guy
that likes to lay on his stomach.

219
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:19,477
Well, doesn't Larry like to
lie on his stomach?

220
00:15:20,987 --> 00:15:22,921
I don't know.
I never asked him.

221
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:28,288
You know somethin', Wally?
What's that?

222
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:34,163
— The fun of catchin' polliwogs
isn't really catchin' polliwogs.
— It isn't?

223
00:15:34,233 --> 00:15:39,170
No. It's lyin' there
with the other guy and talkin'.

224
00:15:40,339 --> 00:15:42,273
Yeah. I guess you're right.

225
00:15:43,342 --> 00:15:46,778
Yeah. Like the time we were at the lake
and we we're pretendin' the lake
was an ocean...

226
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:52,011
and the polliwogs were whales
and we was on a whaling ship,
remember, Wally?

227
00:15:52,084 --> 00:15:54,348
Yeah, I remember.

228
00:15:55,988 --> 00:16:00,687
Well, we didn't catch
one polliwog that day,

229
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,991
but that was the best day
I ever spent at the lake.

230
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:10,368
Uh, yeah. Well, I think we better
put this stuff out in the garage.

231
00:16:10,436 --> 00:16:12,836
Yeah, I guess we better.

232
00:16:15,107 --> 00:16:17,166
What are the boys
doing out there?

233
00:16:17,243 --> 00:16:22,408
Storing Wally's valuables in the garage.
He's getting ready to go to boarding school.

234
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,474
So soon?
Mm—hmm.

235
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:27,576
Ward?
Huh?

236
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:31,054
Do you really think
we'd be doing the right thing
letting him go next year?

237
00:16:31,123 --> 00:16:34,422
Oh,June, he's talked about
nothing else for days.

238
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:39,625
I think if he wants to go,
we should let him go.
I suppose so.

239
00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:44,398
You know, I, uh, I thought
we might all drive up to Bellport
and let him look the school over,

240
00:16:44,470 --> 00:16:46,961
make up his own mind
one way or the other.

241
00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:51,468
I better make a sandwich
for Eddie Haskell.

242
00:16:51,544 --> 00:16:54,411
Is he coming over?
Uh-huh.

243
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,110
Well, at least,
If Wally goes off to school,
he'll be away from Eddie's influence.

244
00:16:59,185 --> 00:17:03,645
Maybe we need Eddie Haskell.
What?

245
00:17:03,723 --> 00:17:07,853
Well, if it weren't for Eddie,
who could we blame Wally's faults on?

246
00:17:07,927 --> 00:17:10,589
Hiya, men.
Oh, hi, Eddie.

247
00:17:10,663 --> 00:17:13,097
Hi, Eddie.
What's new?

248
00:17:13,165 --> 00:17:15,429
Mm, nothin'.

249
00:17:15,501 --> 00:17:19,335
There is too. Wally's going
to a real neat military school,

250
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:23,239
and he gets to ride horses,
shoot guns and everything.

251
00:17:24,677 --> 00:17:29,478
No foolin'?
Military school?
Yeah. It's up at Bellport.

252
00:17:29,549 --> 00:17:33,076
Yeah? When did your father
get this idea?

253
00:17:33,152 --> 00:17:36,553
My father didn't get it.
I got it.

254
00:17:36,622 --> 00:17:40,991
Yeah? I'll bet you
just think it was your idea.

255
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:43,688
What do you mean, Eddie?

256
00:17:43,763 --> 00:17:48,097
Last year, my pop started hintin'
around about military school,

257
00:17:48,167 --> 00:17:51,466
all about learning to be neat
and getting better marks.

258
00:17:51,537 --> 00:17:54,233
But he wasn't gettin'
rid of me that easy.

259
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:58,839
Gee, I don't think my father's
trying to get rid of me.

260
00:17:58,911 --> 00:18:01,311
Me neither.

261
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:03,678
Yeah? Well, let me
Tell you something.

262
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:09,187
I read it in a magazine.
Legally, they can't throw you
out of the house till you're 21.

263
00:18:12,224 --> 00:18:17,287
You're goofy, Eddie. My father's not
throwing me out of the house.
I wanna go.

264
00:18:17,363 --> 00:18:20,355
[Chuckles]
That's what you think.

265
00:18:21,567 --> 00:18:23,592
Dad wouldn't do a thing like that,
would he, Wally?

266
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:28,663
Wait till it happens to you,
you little squirt.
You won't know what hit you.

267
00:18:28,741 --> 00:18:31,107
Aw, go on, Eddie.

268
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:35,677
All right, but look at me.

269
00:18:35,748 --> 00:18:40,651
I'm 13 years old and I've been
to five different summer camps.

270
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,453
You don't think my old man's
spending that kind of money
just so I can have a good time, do you?

271
00:18:47,259 --> 00:18:52,060
Aw, cut it out, Eddie.
You're always braggin' about
how much fun you have up at camp.

272
00:18:53,299 --> 00:18:57,395
Well, I'm smart enough not
to let my old man know about it.

273
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:59,404
You guys coming over
to Metzger's Field?

274
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:04,873
Yeah. We'll be over later.
We gotta have lunch first.

275
00:19:04,944 --> 00:19:07,310
Okay. I'll see you characters.

276
00:19:10,282 --> 00:19:13,251
Wally, it was your idea about
military school, wasn't it?

277
00:19:13,319 --> 00:19:15,310
Sure.

278
00:19:15,388 --> 00:19:19,347
When Johnny Franklin
came over in his uniform,
that's when I got the idea.

279
00:19:19,425 --> 00:19:21,359
Sure.

280
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:29,028
How come Johnny Franklin came over?
He never came over before.

281
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:34,835
I don't know. I...
guess Mom and Dad invited him.

282
00:19:36,575 --> 00:19:38,736
— Yeah.
— Yeah.

283
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:48,015
Say, Wally, you have anything
planned for tomorrow?

284
00:19:48,087 --> 00:19:51,523
No. I guess not.
Why, Dad?

285
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:53,524
Well, I have your application
all filled out.

286
00:19:53,592 --> 00:19:56,117
I thought we might drive up
to Bellport tomorrow
and look the school over.

287
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:04,395
Uh,yeah.
I-I guess I could go.

288
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:08,433
Wally, don't you still wanna
go to boarding school?

289
00:20:08,507 --> 00:20:12,876
Oh, yeah.
Well, I guess I do.

290
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:16,642
Wally.
we've talked about it all week.
Now do you or don't you?

291
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:22,086
Well, gee, Dad, anything you say.
Could I be excused?

292
00:20:31,430 --> 00:20:35,662
— What's the matter with you?
— How long till I'm 21?

293
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:38,670
Not for a long time, Beaver.

294
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,106
Oh. Can I be excused too?

295
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:45,507
Yes, Beaver.

296
00:20:50,616 --> 00:20:54,712
Well, what do you suppose
has gotten into Wally?

297
00:20:54,787 --> 00:20:57,517
Mm, guess he doesn't wanna
go to boarding school.

298
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,717
Yeah. But why?

299
00:21:06,098 --> 00:21:08,862
Ward, I didn't say a thing to him.

300
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:11,528
All right, dear.
Just don't look like you have.

301
00:21:18,844 --> 00:21:22,007
You already washed
your face once today.

302
00:21:22,081 --> 00:21:24,811
Uh, well, I'm washin' it again.

303
00:21:30,322 --> 00:21:32,586
Your eyes look funny.

304
00:21:32,658 --> 00:21:37,357
Uh... well, I was playin' baseball
yesterday and catchin' fiies.

305
00:21:37,429 --> 00:21:41,024
The sun kind of makes my eyes red.

306
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,398
Yeah, I guess it does all right.

307
00:21:44,937 --> 00:21:49,033
Uh, would you mind
closing the door?
Sure, Wally.

308
00:21:54,246 --> 00:21:57,909
Ward, I really think you should go up
and find out what happened to Wally.

309
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:02,613
So do I.
I'm going up right now
and have a talk with him.

310
00:22:03,756 --> 00:22:06,054
Dear, don't be too hard on him.

311
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:10,186
Remember,
we're trying to make him happy.
I know.

312
00:22:12,798 --> 00:22:15,562
— Dad?
— Well, Beaver, what are you doing here?

313
00:22:15,634 --> 00:22:18,364
— Dad, I wanna talk to you.
—What is it?

314
00:22:21,774 --> 00:22:23,708
How come you don't
like Wally anymore?

315
00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:33,410
Beaver, why would you
ask a question like that?

316
00:22:33,485 --> 00:22:35,419
Because you're trying
to get rid of him.

317
00:22:35,487 --> 00:22:40,220
Where'd you get that idea?
From Eddie Haskell.

318
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:43,318
— Eddie Haskell?
—Yeah.

319
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:46,762
His father tried to get rid of him
by sending him away to school,

320
00:22:46,832 --> 00:22:49,630
but he knows the law,
so he's not gonna go till he's 21.

321
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:55,470
Well, Beaver, I don't know
what Eddie told you...

322
00:22:55,541 --> 00:22:57,475
or what he thought
his father's intentions were,

323
00:22:57,543 --> 00:23:02,310
but— but parents don't send
boys away to boarding school
because they want to get rid of them.

324
00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:07,016
They send them away because—

325
00:23:07,086 --> 00:23:09,247
well, because they want them
to have certain advantages.

326
00:23:13,192 --> 00:23:15,126
I don't think Wally
wants no advantages.

327
00:23:15,194 --> 00:23:18,721
— Any advantages?
— Any advantages.

328
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:25,496
Beaver, even before Eddie
talked to Wally,

329
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:29,905
I sorta got the idea that
he was beginning to get cold feet
about wanting to going away to school.

330
00:23:29,975 --> 00:23:31,909
What do you think?

331
00:23:34,647 --> 00:23:39,448
Yeah, I think his feet were getting cold
even before he talked to Eddie Haskell.

332
00:23:41,387 --> 00:23:45,949
— Where is he now?
— He's upstairs.

333
00:23:46,025 --> 00:23:50,519
And his eyes are red
from catchin' fly bails
out in the sun yesterday.

334
00:23:51,597 --> 00:23:57,035
Oh. Well, I'll, uh—
I'll go up and talk to him.

335
00:24:00,506 --> 00:24:04,374
Thanks a lot, Beave.
You've been a big help.
Oh, sure, Dad.

336
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:10,340
Excuse me, Beaver.
I have to go upstairs
and talk to Wally.

337
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:13,943
Your father and I have
something to discuss with him.

338
00:24:14,019 --> 00:24:16,817
That's okay, Mom.
I think me and Dad
just took care of it.

339
00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:30,627
Wally?
Yeah, Beave?

340
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:33,570
You goin' up to see
the marchin' school tomorrow?

341
00:24:33,639 --> 00:24:37,131
Nah. Dad and I
kinda talked it over,

342
00:24:37,209 --> 00:24:40,474
and we figured I wouldn't
go to Bellport next year.

343
00:24:40,546 --> 00:24:43,014
How come?

344
00:24:43,082 --> 00:24:46,415
Well, all the other guys
are going to Mayfield,

345
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,454
and Eddie isn't really such a creep.

346
00:24:49,521 --> 00:24:53,355
And anyway, Dad and I figured
you might get in trouble.
Me?

347
00:24:54,426 --> 00:24:59,090
Well, yeah. You know, goin' down to the lake
and catchin' polliwogs by yourself and stuff.

348
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:05,034
Yeah. I guess it's not gonna be
so bad havin' you home
for a whole nother year.

349
00:25:05,104 --> 00:25:07,402
Yeah.

350
00:25:07,473 --> 00:25:10,931
Well,just don't get the idea
that means you can hang around me
all the time.

351
00:25:12,311 --> 00:25:14,506
Oh, no, Wally.
