Jerry Mathers: The Beaver

Quotes 

• Theodore Cleaver : Gilbert found a two-foot garter snake, and he's willing to sell me a half interest in it for fifteen cents!

  June Cleaver : No, Beaver, now I don't want you buying any interest in any snake.

  Theodore Cleaver : [later, on the living-room telephone]  Okay, just a minute, I'll ask my Mom.

  Theodore Cleaver : [to June]  Hey, Mom, can I buy a half interest in Gilbert's garter snake for five cents?

  June Cleaver : Well, the price certainly came down.

  Theodore Cleaver : Well, that's 'cause he's dead.

  June Cleaver : Beaver, I'm afraid the answer is still 'No'.

  Theodore Cleaver : Aw, gee, Mom.

  Theodore Cleaver : [back on the 'phone with Gilbert]  I'm sorry, Gilbert, but my Mom won't let me. Well, yeah, OK. Gee, thanks a lot, Gilbert.

  Theodore Cleaver : [he hangs up the phone, excited]  He said I could have the whole thing for nothin'!

  Ward Cleaver : Now Beaver, what on earth would you do with a dead garter snake?

  Theodore Cleaver : Well, I could scare girls with it 'til it gets rotten!

• Theodore Cleaver : Is Wally home?

  June Cleaver : Yes, he's upstairs. He's trying to imagine what kind of a girl he picked for the dance Saturday.

  Theodore Cleaver : Oh yeah, today's the day they drew the girls out of the bowl.

  June Cleaver : You like the idea, Beaver?

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah, it sounds neat, only all's you get is a girl.
