Quotes 

• [Ricky wants to know why he can't have the candy Ozzie just brought home] 

  Ozzie Nelson : You can't have the candy because I bought it for your mother.

  David Nelson : What was the misunderstanding about, Pop?

  Ozzie Nelson : Well, I came home with a couple of tickets for the ballet.

  Ricky Nelson : The ballet? Heck, that's sissy stuff.

  Ozzie Nelson : It is not sissy stuff. A lot of men go to the ballet. Least a lot of men'll be going tonight.

  [Ozzie doesn't want to tell the boys that he expects tonight's ballet to be somewhat risqué] 

  David Nelson : How come Mom's mad at you? Didn't she like the ballet?

  Ozzie Nelson : Well, yes, but the feminine mind is a very weird and complicated machine.

  Ricky Nelson : Like an airplane, huh, Pop?

  Ozzie Nelson : Yes, without a pilot. You'll find that women are sometimes very difficult to understand.

  Ricky Nelson : I'll say. There's this new girl in school, and I can't understand her

  Ozzie Nelson : Whaddaya mean?

  Ricky Nelson : Well, she's different from the other girls.

  Ozzie Nelson : Different? In what way?

  Ricky Nelson : She doesn't like me.

  Ozzie Nelson : Oh, do most of the girls in school like you?

  Ricky Nelson : Oh, sure, they all do. They think I'm cute.

  David Nelson : Oh, Ricky, stop bragging. You're not cute at all.

  Ricky Nelson : I don't know. I was lookin' in the mirror today, and I'm not bad.
