Quotes 

• Ozzie Nelson : The kids of nowadays - what chance do they get to become acquainted with really good literature? They spend their time reading comic books, they look at television, they watch moving pictures, they listen to radio. It's no wonder they're confused.

  Harriet Nelson : [the boys arrive home from the movies]  How was the picture?

  David Nelson : Oh, swell.

  Ricky Nelson : Yeah, 'specially when the old man gets stabbed.

  David Nelson : How about when the mother drinks the poison.

  Harriet Nelson : Was that in the picture?

  Ricky Nelson : There's this pretty girl in it, but she goes crazy.

  Ozzie Nelson : [mildly sarcastic]  Oh, that's great.

  Ricky Nelson : It was because her father got murdered.

  Ozzie Nelson : Can't you pick out something not quite so... I mean, a picture like that! Such bloodthirsty junk. Golly, the trash they write nowadays.

  Harriet Nelson : What was the name of the picture?

  Ricky Nelson : Hamlet.
