- Quotes
Wally Cleaver: Hi, Mom.
June Cleaver: Hi. You're home a little late, aren't you?
Wally Cleaver: Yeah, well, I kinda walked Mary Ellen Rogers over to her house.
June Cleaver: Oh. You walked her home?
Wally Cleaver: Yeah. Her brother went away to college. She said she might sell me his sweatshirt from when he was on the track team.
June Cleaver: Well, wasn't that thoughtful of Mary Ellen.
Wally Cleaver: Yeah, but then when I got over there, the thing was all beat up. Why would she drag me all the way over there just to look at a hunk 'a junk like that?
June Cleaver: Well, Wally, I could tell you, but I'd be revealing trade secrets.
Wally Cleaver: Huh?
June Cleaver: Don't eat the olives, now, you're gonna spoil your supper.
Larry leaves when Beaver goes back to retrieve his cap that he left behind. En route, he gets nosy and goes into Mrs. Rayburn's office. The janitor comes by and Beaver quickly hides. The janitor then locks up and goes home for the night. Beaver is locked in the principal's office! He pulls the alarm, gets rescued and escorted home in a fire truck.
Oddly, that's only half the story. The next day, he and Larry are out in the park looking for four-leaf clovers. Once again, Larry leaves and Beaver gets in trouble. He sticks his head through an iron railing and it gets stuck! Now he needs to be rescued again, and he isn't anxious to be made "conspicuous" again. This part was pretty funny.
Despite Beaver being in all the trouble, the end has Beaver and Larry talking about parents with Beaver saying, "You know, Larry, you never can tell what they are going to do."
