1
00:00:25,292 --> 00:00:27,692
Hey, Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad!

2
00:00:27,761 --> 00:00:29,752
Hey, Dad. Hey, Dad.
Get up.

3
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:31,889
Yeah, we got something.
We got something.

4
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:34,160
Hurry up, Dad.
It's the trap.

5
00:00:37,304 --> 00:00:40,569
What's going on, boys?
It's not even 6:00 yet.

6
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:43,235
The trap's sprung, Dad.
We saw it out the window.

7
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:46,177
[Ward]
All right, but calm down.
We’ll go take a look.

8
00:00:46,246 --> 00:00:48,407
What's going on?

9
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:55,884
[Announcer]
Leave It To Beaver.

10
00:01:00,327 --> 00:01:04,661
Starring Barbara Billingsley,
Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow. ..

11
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:08,692
And Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

12
00:01:13,507 --> 00:01:15,668
Excuse me, dear.

13
00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:30,479
I just got the kitchen
put back together again.

14
00:01:30,557 --> 00:01:34,789
Must you take it apart?
I'm looking fora piece of string, dear.

15
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:40,690
[Whistles]

16
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,758
Oh, yeah. Thanks.

17
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:45,327
If you're flying kites,
I don't think there's enough there.

18
00:01:45,405 --> 00:01:48,932
Wally and the Beaver and I
are building a trap.

19
00:01:49,009 --> 00:01:51,341
For animals or people?
For animals.

20
00:01:51,411 --> 00:01:54,642
We're gonna catch that gopher that's 
been nibbling the tops off your flowers.

21
00:01:54,715 --> 00:01:57,206
I thought we had some gopher traps
out in the garage.

22
00:01:57,284 --> 00:02:00,481
Well, we do, but the boys want
to catch this one alive.

23
00:02:00,554 --> 00:02:03,079
They've never seen
a real gopher face—to—face.

24
00:02:03,156 --> 00:02:05,147
Should be quite an experience
for the boys.

25
00:02:05,225 --> 00:02:07,284
And for the gopher.

26
00:02:07,361 --> 00:02:09,625
Wally?
Yeah?

27
00:02:09,696 --> 00:02:12,096
I don't think I ever saw a gopher.

28
00:02:12,165 --> 00:02:14,156
What's it look like?

29
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:18,193
Well, did you ever see a rat?
Yeah.

30
00:02:19,306 --> 00:02:23,299
Well, if a rat swelled up
and then turned brown,
it'd look like a gopher.

31
00:02:24,711 --> 00:02:26,770
Oh.

32
00:02:26,847 --> 00:02:29,372
Oh, here we are, guys.

33
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:31,440
Let's see the stick.

34
00:02:31,518 --> 00:02:34,885
See, first of all,
we tie one end around the stick.

35
00:02:34,955 --> 00:02:36,946
Like that.

36
00:02:37,024 --> 00:02:39,015
Tighten it up.

37
00:02:39,092 --> 00:02:41,322
And we put the other end
through this eye.

38
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:44,489
Oh, uh, hand me
one of those flowers, will ya?

39
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:49,696
Right through the eye, there...

40
00:02:49,770 --> 00:02:53,171
and we tie the other end
to the flower...

41
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,572
like—

42
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:57,837
Like so.

43
00:02:57,911 --> 00:03:00,402
There. Now.

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,812
We set the trap like this...

45
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:05,875
and when the gopher
goes after the bait...

46
00:03:05,952 --> 00:03:09,479
he pulls the string,
pulls the stick out,
and springs the trap.

47
00:03:12,359 --> 00:03:15,487
Well, gee, Dad,
with all the flowers out here,

48
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:17,689
why would he go in there
just to eat that one?

49
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:23,434
Well, Wally, uh,
gophers are kind of like boys.

50
00:03:23,503 --> 00:03:26,370
They're extremely curious.
We're counting on that.

51
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:30,000
Oh, hey, Dad, can I set it up?

52
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:32,045
Yeah, sure.

53
00:03:37,451 --> 00:03:41,751
You know, Beave,
I bet every guy doesn't have
a father that can think like a gopher.

54
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:45,381
Yeah.

55
00:03:51,765 --> 00:03:54,962
Well, how's
the great white hunter doing?

56
00:03:55,035 --> 00:03:57,128
Oh, well, trap's all set.

57
00:03:57,204 --> 00:04:00,139
Now it's just up to the gopher
to cooperate.

58
00:04:00,207 --> 00:04:03,404
Ward, do you really think
you'll catch anything
in that homemade trap?

59
00:04:03,477 --> 00:04:05,843
Oh, I don't know.

60
00:04:05,912 --> 00:04:09,643
But I think the boys'll get a big kick
out of pretending they're going to.

61
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:17,185
You know, Ward, sometimes
you're a very understanding father.

62
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:27,323
Hey, Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad!

63
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,391
Hey, Dad! Hey, Dad!
Get up.

64
00:04:29,469 --> 00:04:31,460
Yeah, we got something.
We got something.

65
00:04:31,538 --> 00:04:34,006
Hurry up, Dad.
It's the trap.

66
00:04:36,843 --> 00:04:40,176
What's going on, boys?
It's not even 6:00 yet.

67
00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:42,841
The trap's sprung, Dad.
We saw it out the window.

68
00:04:42,916 --> 00:04:45,407
[Ward]
All right, but calm down.
We’ll go take a look.

69
00:04:45,485 --> 00:04:47,749
What's going on?

70
00:04:47,821 --> 00:04:49,880
[Wally] Come on, Dad hurry up
before it gets away.

71
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:51,947
What's that?
[Wally]
Hurry up, Dad.

72
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:55,051
In case it bites me.
Wait for me!

73
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:58,063
Hey, wait for me.
Wait for me.

74
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,932
Well, there's something
in there, all right.

75
00:05:07,007 --> 00:05:09,874
Whatever he is,
he sure wants to get out.
Yes.

76
00:05:09,943 --> 00:05:13,504
If he comes over here,
I'm ready for him.
[Chuckles]

77
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:16,048
Well, stand back, fellas.

78
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:30,786
Hey, look.

79
00:05:30,864 --> 00:05:33,162
We caught a white gopher.

80
00:05:33,233 --> 00:05:35,497
Beaver, that’s a white rabbit

81
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:39,061
Yeah. He looks like he could have
been someone's pet once.

82
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:41,198
He looks kind of scared.

83
00:05:41,274 --> 00:05:44,368
Yeah. Look at the way
his nose is going.

84
00:05:44,444 --> 00:05:46,435
Looks like he's got an itch.

85
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:49,573
So you're the little rascal
who's been nibbling the tops
off our flowers.

86
00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:52,709
What'd you get?
Is it anything dangerous?

87
00:05:52,786 --> 00:05:56,847
Yeah. You better stand back.
It's a man—eating white rabbit.

88
00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:58,914
[Laughs]

89
00:05:58,992 --> 00:06:02,291
Oh, isn't that cute.

90
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:04,353
Can we keep him?
Huh, Dad?

91
00:06:04,431 --> 00:06:07,696
Yeah, Dad
We never had a rabbit.

92
00:06:09,502 --> 00:06:11,868
Well—Well, uh—

93
00:06:11,938 --> 00:06:15,567
Yeah, I guess we could fix up
that old box you fellas
used to keep your pigeons in.

94
00:06:18,245 --> 00:06:22,147
Well, I guess we can
get started on the cage,
as soon as I change clothes.

95
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:25,048
Well, what“ we do with it
in the meantime?

96
00:06:25,118 --> 00:06:27,746
That’s okay, Mom.
Me and Wally can
take him up to bed with us...

97
00:06:27,821 --> 00:06:29,846
until Dad gets awake.

98
00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:37,289
Here. Have you got him now?
Yeah.

99
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:39,355
Hold him tight.

100
00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:42,299
We can feed him
some of Mom's flowers.
There's plenty of them left.

101
00:06:42,369 --> 00:06:44,701
Let me carry him
for a while, Beave.

102
00:06:44,771 --> 00:06:48,332
Well, looks like we have
a little addition to the family.

103
00:06:51,478 --> 00:06:53,503
Well, aren't you happy about it?

104
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:58,040
Yes, but I was sort of counting
on a gopher.

105
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:02,811
Maybe next year.

106
00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:08,484
There we are.

107
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:11,052
Now you boys better get on to school.
I'll put the tools away.

108
00:07:11,131 --> 00:07:13,122
Gee, thanks, Dad.

109
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,724
Gee, look.
He's not twitching so much anymore.

110
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:20,239
Yeah. I guess after
he gets used to people
his nose slows down.

111
00:07:20,307 --> 00:07:22,901
Did you boys think
of a name for him yet?

112
00:07:22,976 --> 00:07:26,810
Well, gee, Dad, maybe
we oughta call him Ward.

113
00:07:28,648 --> 00:07:31,811
Well, gee, if it wasn't for you,
we never would have caught him.

114
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:38,820
two Wards in the same family
might be a little confusing?

115
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:43,362
Why don't we call him Henry?

116
00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:47,523
Henry? Well, why would
we call him Henry?

117
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,832
I don't know. It's a nice name,
and we don't have
any Henrys in the family.

118
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:54,100
All right, that's settled then.

119
00:07:54,174 --> 00:07:56,165
Henry's his name from now on.

120
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:58,233
Now, you boys better
get on to school.
Okay, Dad.

121
00:07:58,311 --> 00:08:00,302
So long.
So long.

122
00:08:00,380 --> 00:08:02,371
So long, Dad.
Thanks for catching us
a rabbit.

123
00:08:02,449 --> 00:08:04,440
So long, Henry.

124
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,646
Old Henry.

125
00:08:10,724 --> 00:08:13,887
Yeah, I think you look more like a 
Henry than you do a Ward.

126
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:17,019
[Clears Throat]

127
00:08:17,097 --> 00:08:19,088
Oh.
[Chuckles]

128
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:22,999
Are we gonna have breakfast,
or are you gonna stay out here
and talk to your friend Harvey?

129
00:08:23,069 --> 00:08:26,266
No, that's Henry.
The boys named him
just before they left.

130
00:08:26,339 --> 00:08:29,433
Henry?
Yeah, Henry.

131
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,500
Mm—hmm.

132
00:08:31,578 --> 00:08:34,877
[Ward]
Now what’s the reason
for this superior attitude?

133
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:37,644
Well, I was observing your friend
while you were building the cage,

134
00:08:37,717 --> 00:08:43,587
and I believe “Henry“
is hardly the proper name
for a young lady in her condition.

135
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:45,647
Really?

136
00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:51,120
How soon, do you think?
Soon.

137
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,665
Very soon.

138
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:56,930
I think you better tell the boys.
Yeah, I guess I better.

139
00:08:57,003 --> 00:08:59,528
No sense having it come
as a surprise to them.

140
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:03,508
If you wanna be subtle about it,
you could start calling her Henrietta.

141
00:09:14,421 --> 00:09:16,787
I think I wanna go out
and look at Henry again.

142
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:19,689
Well, Beaver, you've been out there
three times since supper.

143
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:22,421
If you were a rabbit,
you wouldn't like some kid...

144
00:09:22,495 --> 00:09:24,690
sticking his face in
at you every couple minutes.

145
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:29,792
Maybe l can look at him
so he doesn't know I'm looking at him.

146
00:09:29,869 --> 00:09:32,667
Well, you can go out
and look at him if you want.

147
00:09:34,707 --> 00:09:36,698
You coming, Wally?

148
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:40,303
Nah. I wanna get my homework done
so I can mess around
in Study Hall tomorrow.

149
00:09:43,550 --> 00:09:47,111
[Footsteps 0n Stairs]
Who's that?

150
00:09:47,187 --> 00:09:50,088
Nobody. Just me, Mom.

151
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:53,284
Where you going, Beave?
I thought I’d go out
and see Henry again.

152
00:09:53,359 --> 00:09:56,817
I'll be right back.
[June] Well, I wouldn’t
disturb Henry too much.

153
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:58,921
Oh, no, Mom.

154
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:01,159
Ward.
Mm—hmm?

155
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:03,759
“Henry“?

156
00:10:03,837 --> 00:10:05,998
Oh, uh, well, I got home
kind of late tonight.

157
00:10:06,072 --> 00:10:08,233
There's no big hurry.

158
00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:10,902
I wouldn't wait too long.
I won't.

159
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:16,347
Why'd you get home late tonight?
I don't know, dear.

160
00:10:16,416 --> 00:10:20,318
There are just some days
when you get home late, that's all.
This was one of them.

161
00:10:20,386 --> 00:10:24,447
You know, sometimes I think
you like working late
down at that office.

162
00:10:24,524 --> 00:10:28,426
Oh, sure. It's a regular
24—hour Mardi Gras

What's the matter, Beaver?
The rabbit. Wally!

166
00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:42,141
Beaver, calm down.
Henry— Out there.

00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:44,199
What— What—
Wally!

168
00:10:44,277 --> 00:10:46,268
What's the matter?

169
00:10:46,346 --> 00:10:49,804
A bunch of little rats knocked Henry down.
They're out there biting him.

170
00:10:52,452 --> 00:10:55,819
Go get your baseball bat.
Come on, Dad!
Beaver.

171
00:10:55,889 --> 00:10:58,517
Beaver, there's nothing
to be upset about.

172
00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:00,616
But, Mom, you oughta see Henry.

173
00:11:00,693 --> 00:11:03,184
Wally, go get one of Dad's golf clubs.
Beaver.

174
00:11:03,263 --> 00:11:07,199
The only thing that's happened
is that your rabbit has had babies.

175
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:14,536
You mean they're not rats?
[Ward]
No, Beaver

176
00:11:14,607 --> 00:11:17,906
I was going to tell you this before.

177
00:11:17,977 --> 00:11:22,641
You see, Henry is a girl rabbit,
and she's had a litter,
and she's nursing her babies.

178
00:11:22,715 --> 00:11:24,683
That's all that's happening.

179
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:29,343
You see, little rabbits get their first food
from their mother—

180
00:11:29,422 --> 00:11:32,448
just like lambs and calves and—

181
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:34,686
Oh, all warm—blooded animals do.

182
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:43,869
Is that true, Wally?

183
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:47,832
Yeah, I guess so, Beaver.

184
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:51,075
Well, Beaver.

185
00:11:51,144 --> 00:11:55,205
This is quite an event, isn't it?
Yeah.

186
00:11:55,281 --> 00:11:58,148
We get one rabbit,

187
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:01,051
and all of a sudden
we got a whole family.

188
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,816
Come on, Wally.
I'll show them to you.

189
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:07,449
Come on, let's us go look.

190
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,762
One, two, three, four, five, six.

191
00:12:18,838 --> 00:12:21,033
Hey, that's pretty good, Beaver.

192
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:24,634
Yeah. Dad says pretty soon
they'll start looking
more like rabbits.

193
00:12:24,711 --> 00:12:27,441
And in a couple of days,
their eyes will open.

194
00:12:27,513 --> 00:12:31,040
Boy, I'll bet they'll be surprised
to see where they are.

195
00:12:33,553 --> 00:12:36,920
Hey, Larry, did you ever have
any babies at your house?

196
00:12:39,225 --> 00:12:42,092
Not real ones—
just my little brother.

197
00:12:42,161 --> 00:12:44,152
He yelled an awful lot.

198
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:50,091
I'm sure glad rabbits don't yell,
'cause we got six of them.

199
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:56,171
What are you and Wally
gonna do with 'em, Beaver?

200
00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,233
I don't know.
just watch 'em, I guess.

201
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:03,105
Maybe— Maybe you could give 'em
to some of the guys.

202
00:13:03,182 --> 00:13:06,845
— Maybe.
— Maybe when?

203
00:13:08,021 --> 00:13:11,013
After they open their eyes,
and they know who we're
giving them to.

204
00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:13,115
Oh.

205
00:13:13,192 --> 00:13:15,319
Here.

206
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:17,420
Thanks.

207
00:13:22,335 --> 00:13:24,303
Larry.

208
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:28,473
I meant give it to the rabbit.

209
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,334
Oh.

210
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,045
Hey. Oh. Hi, Dad.

211
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:45,113
Hi. What are you up to today?

212
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:48,456
I guess I'll just mess around
with Eddie and some of the guys.

213
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:50,519
Oh. Well, where's the Beaver?

214
00:13:50,596 --> 00:13:53,190
I think he's out looking
at the rabbits with Larry Mondello.

215
00:13:53,266 --> 00:13:56,497
Again? You guys are really fond
of those rabbits, aren't you?

216
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:58,867
Sure, Dad. They're real neat.

217
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:03,534
Oh, say, that reminds me.
I've been meaning to tell you
something about them.

218
00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:07,875
Yeah, Dad?
Well,just be careful that you don't
pick up any of the babies...

219
00:14:07,947 --> 00:14:10,973
or handle them
while they're this young.

220
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:13,041
Well, gee, how come?

221
00:14:13,119 --> 00:14:15,451
Well, you see, rabbits are not really
a domestic animal.

222
00:14:15,521 --> 00:14:17,853
And if a human
touches one of the babies,

223
00:14:17,924 --> 00:14:20,722
the mother's apt
to become frightened and reject it.

224
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:23,489
You know, push it aside.

225
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:27,260
Oh. You mean, she wouldn't
feed it anymore or anything?

226
00:14:27,333 --> 00:14:29,699
That's right.
So just be careful.

227
00:14:29,769 --> 00:14:33,296
Oh, sure, Dad.
I'll tell the Beaver too.
Okay.

228
00:14:33,373 --> 00:14:37,434
[Larry]
Hey, look One of them’s way in back
of the cage, away fl’om the mother.

229
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:41,071
That's right.
Well, what do you think
we oughta do?

230
00:14:41,147 --> 00:14:44,412
You better put it back
where it belongs.

231
00:14:44,484 --> 00:14:46,509
Yeah, maybe I'd better.

232
00:14:56,195 --> 00:14:59,722
Hey, Larry, it feels funny.

233
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:05,027
Yeah. It feels like petting a caterpillar.

234
00:15:05,104 --> 00:15:07,595
We better put him back.

235
00:15:07,673 --> 00:15:10,767
There you go now.
Right over here.

236
00:15:19,185 --> 00:15:21,153
Well, I gotta get home.

237
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:25,452
Don't forget. If you and Wally
give any of' em away,
I got dibs on one.

238
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:30,150
Oh, sure, but would your parents
let you keep a rabbit?

239
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:34,491
If I make enough fuss, they will.

240
00:15:35,635 --> 00:15:37,626
Oh.
So long.

241
00:15:37,703 --> 00:15:39,694
So long.

242
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:44,235
Okay?
Okay.

243
00:15:44,310 --> 00:15:46,335
Thanks.

244
00:15:49,982 --> 00:15:51,950
Henry.

245
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:53,952
Oh, hi, Beave.
Hi, Wally.

246
00:15:54,020 --> 00:15:55,783
How are the rabbits?

247
00:15:55,855 --> 00:16:00,952
Fine. Wally, you think it's still okay
to call her Henry?

248
00:16:01,027 --> 00:16:04,155
Sure. I don't think she knows
we're calling her Henry.

249
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:09,600
Oh, hey, Beave, Eddie and I
are going over to look
at the Anderson's new car.

250
00:16:09,669 --> 00:16:11,660
Wanna come along?
No.

251
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:16,299
I've seen a lot of new cars,
but I haven't seen
too many new rabbits.

252
00:16:16,375 --> 00:16:18,366
Okay.

253
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:23,347
Oh, uh, hey, Beave,
don't touch any of them.
How come?

254
00:16:23,416 --> 00:16:26,544
Well, Dad says if a human touches
any of the babies,

255
00:16:26,619 --> 00:16:28,553
the mother won't have
anything to do with it.

256
00:16:31,657 --> 00:16:33,887
Why would Henry do that
to her own babies?

257
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,394
Well, if she smells people
on any of them,

258
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:38,521
she'll get scared
and kick it out.

259
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:48,699
You mean she wouldn't
take care of it anymore? Never?

260
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:50,503
Yeah. It'd probably die.

261
00:16:52,411 --> 00:16:55,039
So just be sure you don't
pick any of them up
while they're babies.

262
00:16:56,315 --> 00:16:58,249
Oh, sure, Wally.

263
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:00,842
Okay. Well, so long, Beave.
So long.

264
00:17:08,895 --> 00:17:12,524
Gee, Henry. I didn't mean it.

265
00:17:16,302 --> 00:17:19,669
Well, Beaver, looks like
we're lunching alone today.

266
00:17:19,739 --> 00:17:22,435
Yeah.

267
00:17:22,508 --> 00:17:24,999
Wally's off with Eddie,
and your father's out
playing golf.

268
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:28,604
Mom?

269
00:17:28,681 --> 00:17:32,845
When does a kid
start to be a real human being?

270
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:38,551
Well, right from the time he's born.

271
00:17:38,624 --> 00:17:43,186
Oh. When does a kid start to smell
like a real kid?

272
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:49,891
Well, I never thought much about it,
but I guess right from the beginning too.

273
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,968
Beaver, why are you asking
all of these questions?

274
00:17:55,975 --> 00:17:59,536
Dad says asking questions
is the only way to find out stuff.

275
00:17:59,612 --> 00:18:01,876
What are you trying
to find out?

276
00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:04,974
Nothin'.
I was just asking questions.

277
00:18:05,051 --> 00:18:07,451
Oh.

278
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,284
Want some more milk?
No, thanks.

279
00:18:10,356 --> 00:18:13,723
Anything wrong?
No, thanks.

280
00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:20,426
Where you going?

281
00:18:20,499 --> 00:18:22,933
I'm just gonna take a walk,
that's all.

282
00:18:25,338 --> 00:18:27,966
Mom?
Yes, Beaver?

283
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,908
Nothing.
I just forgot my hat.

284
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,444
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Wally.

285
00:18:42,521 --> 00:18:44,853
Did you have any lunch?
Oh, sure.

286
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:49,086
Eddie and I had an ice—cream cone
and two boxes of popcorn.

287
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:52,854
Can I fix you a sandwich?

288
00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:55,025
Oh, no, Mom. I'm not hungry.

289
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:57,433
All right.

290
00:18:57,503 --> 00:18:59,664
Well, I guess I could eat something.

291
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:02,765
Better fix me a couple.

292
00:19:04,410 --> 00:19:06,401
Well, what were you
and Eddie up to?

293
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:08,640
We went over to look
at the Andersons' new car.

294
00:19:08,714 --> 00:19:10,875
I thought it was pretty neat.
What'd Eddie say?

295
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:12,941
He said it was a heap.

296
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:17,079
Hey, Mom, where's Beaver?
Well, he went out somewhere.

297
00:19:17,156 --> 00:19:20,523
If we have an extra rabbit later,
can I give it to Eddie?

298
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:24,154
I think it would be
easier on the rabbit
if you gave it to Chester.

299
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:27,063
Gee, Mom,
don't you like Eddie Haskell?

300
00:19:27,133 --> 00:19:30,625
Well, Wally, I'm very fond of him.

301
00:19:30,703 --> 00:19:32,694
That's funny.

302
00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:34,967
Sometimes I think he's a creep.

303
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:54,758
Hi, Gus.
Oh. Hi, Beaver.
What are you doing?

304
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:58,588
Nothin'.
just watching you sleep.

305
00:19:58,664 --> 00:20:02,191
Oh, I wasn't sleeping.
just conserving my energy.

306
00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:05,430
Oh.

307
00:20:05,504 --> 00:20:07,995
Gus, do you know anything
about rabbits?

308
00:20:09,642 --> 00:20:14,602
Well, when you get to be my age,
you know a little something
about almost everything.

309
00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:19,575
Uh, if a certain fella had a rabbit...

310
00:20:19,652 --> 00:20:22,143
and this rabbit had other rabbits...

311
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,587
and this certain fella
picked up one of the babies,

312
00:20:24,657 --> 00:20:27,182
would the mother rabbit let it die?

313
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:32,859
Well, some rabbits are mighty scared
of that man smell.

314
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:35,264
The mother rabbit
just might do that.

315
00:20:35,334 --> 00:20:40,135
Gee, that'd be awful
if the certain fella did.

316
00:20:41,373 --> 00:20:44,740
Beaver, when did you
pick up this baby rabbit?

317
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:46,744
just about—

318
00:20:46,812 --> 00:20:48,973
about an hour ago.

319
00:20:49,048 --> 00:20:51,642
Oh, well, then I guess you got
plenty of time to do
something about it.

320
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:54,618
Is there really something I can do?

321
00:20:54,687 --> 00:20:56,814
Hmm. Well, you can't reason
with a rabbit...

322
00:20:56,889 --> 00:20:58,982
like you can a dog or a horse,

323
00:20:59,058 --> 00:21:01,424
so you gotta outsmart 'em.

324
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:06,258
How do I do that?
I'm just a kid.

325
00:21:07,266 --> 00:21:11,794
Well, first you get a can
of your mother's talcum powder,

326
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:15,739
and you sprinkle a little of it
on all the little rabbits.

327
00:21:15,808 --> 00:21:18,641
Will that really do something?
Yep.

328
00:21:18,711 --> 00:21:21,111
That way they all smell the same
to the mother.

329
00:21:21,180 --> 00:21:24,547
They don't smell like rabbits.
They don't smell like people.

330
00:21:24,617 --> 00:21:28,314
So she goes right back
to taking care of all of them.

331
00:21:29,455 --> 00:21:31,719
Golly gee.
That's great, Gus.

332
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:34,157
I was really scared.

333
00:21:35,928 --> 00:21:38,954
Now there's something else
you can do—

334
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:42,091
that is, if this rabbit's smarter
than we think she is.

335
00:21:42,168 --> 00:21:45,001
You get a few drops
of vanilla extract—

336
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:47,061
there must be some
around the kitchen—

337
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:50,040
and put it right on
the mother's nose.

338
00:21:50,109 --> 00:21:52,077
Then, when she sniffs,

339
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,840
she don't sniff rabbits,
she don't sniff people.

340
00:21:54,914 --> 00:21:57,280
She sniffs vanilla.

341
00:21:59,885 --> 00:22:02,285
You know something, Gus?

342
00:22:02,354 --> 00:22:05,289
You must be the smartest man
in the whole world.

343
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:09,487
Well, now, it might look that way
to a little feller like you,

344
00:22:09,562 --> 00:22:12,053
but to somebody who's really smart,

345
00:22:12,131 --> 00:22:15,157
I'd look like the bottom of the barrel.

346
00:22:16,502 --> 00:22:18,436
Vanilla extract, huh?
That's right.

347
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,495
Thanks a lot, Gus.

348
00:22:22,808 --> 00:22:26,005
You know, they seem to have grown
just since yesterday, don't they?

349
00:22:26,078 --> 00:22:29,377
You know, Dad, they're almost
beginning to look like rabbits.

350
00:22:31,450 --> 00:22:35,079
Do you notice some kind
of a strange smell?
Strange?

351
00:22:35,154 --> 00:22:38,851
[June]
They don ’t smell like any rabbits
that I used to know

352
00:22:38,924 --> 00:22:40,858
[All Sniffing]

353
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:42,860
Yeah. It kind of smells like perfume.

354
00:22:42,928 --> 00:22:45,419
Well, I don't smell anything at all.

355
00:22:45,497 --> 00:22:48,364
Well, we better go in.
Supper's almost ready.

356
00:22:48,434 --> 00:22:52,097
What are we having
for supper, Mom?
Roast beef.

357
00:23:01,146 --> 00:23:03,512
You want something, Dad?

358
00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:06,073
Beaver, did you put
something on the rabbits?

359
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:10,253
Uh-huh.
Some of Mom's talcum powder.

360
00:23:10,322 --> 00:23:12,313
Why would you do that?

361
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:15,360
'Cause I picked one of them up.

362
00:23:15,427 --> 00:23:17,895
Well, didn't Wally tell you not to?

363
00:23:17,963 --> 00:23:22,297
Yeah, but I picked it up
before Wally told me not to.

364
00:23:22,368 --> 00:23:24,233
Oh.

365
00:23:24,303 --> 00:23:26,567
You're not mad at me, are you, Dad?

366
00:23:26,639 --> 00:23:30,905
No, but, uh, why'd you put
talcum powder on 'em?

367
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:32,910
Well,

368
00:23:32,978 --> 00:23:37,415
I put talcum powder on all the babies
and vanilla on Henry's nose.

369
00:23:37,483 --> 00:23:43,319
That way they wouldn't smell like people,
and Henry wouldn't be scared.

370
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:46,881
Beaver, did you think of this
all by yourself?

371
00:23:46,959 --> 00:23:51,055
No. Gus the fireman
thought it up for me.
Oh.

372
00:23:51,130 --> 00:23:53,860
[Chuckles]
Well, that's pretty clever. I—

373
00:23:55,234 --> 00:23:57,759
But why didn't you ask me
what to do?

374
00:23:57,836 --> 00:24:00,862
Well, I guess I was scared to,

375
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,431
'cause l did something bad and, uh—

376
00:24:03,509 --> 00:24:05,670
And what?

377
00:24:05,744 --> 00:24:09,145
Well, I kind of flgured...

378
00:24:09,214 --> 00:24:13,412
you were better at telling us
stuff that we shouldn't do
than stuff that we should do.

379
00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,718
Oh.

380
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:18,780
Well, you know, Beaver,

381
00:24:19,892 --> 00:24:23,089
I hope that today I've learned
as much about children...

382
00:24:23,162 --> 00:24:26,063
as you've learned about rabbits.

383
00:24:31,370 --> 00:24:33,998
Let's see.
I promised one to Chester...

384
00:24:34,073 --> 00:24:36,837
and one to Johnny
and one to Tooey.

385
00:24:36,909 --> 00:24:41,346
I promised one to Larry,
one to Miss Canfleld
and one to Whitey.

386
00:24:41,413 --> 00:24:44,348
Well, hey, that's six.
We're all out of rabbits.

387
00:24:45,684 --> 00:24:47,618
Yeah, but we still got Henry though.

388
00:24:48,921 --> 00:24:52,220
— Wally?
— Yeah, Beave?

389
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:55,124
How come Henry wouldn't like
her babies anymore...

390
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:57,128
if they smelled like people?

391
00:24:59,198 --> 00:25:01,758
I don't know.

392
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:04,997
I guess people wouldn't like
their babies either,
if they smelled like rabbits.

393
00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:09,307
Yeah, I guess so.
