Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBeaver comments that it would be worse for a guy like Eddie Haskell to have a kid that acted just like him. Wally says that would never happen because a guy like Eddie only comes along once in a couple of hundred years. However, in The New Leave It to Beaver (1983), Eddie does end up having two sons, Freddie and Eddie Jr., who act like him. Both were played by Ken Osmond's real-life sons, Eric and Christian.
- Quotes
Wally Cleaver: There's gonna be more yellin' and screamin' around here than when you were a little kid and you tried to put your marbles in the garbage disposal.
Theodore Cleaver: Maybe between now and Saturday I could buy Dad a new golf club.
Wally Cleaver: Now where are you gonna get the money? They cost around twelve bucks.
Theodore Cleaver: No foolin? Boy, when you grow up your toys sure cost a lot of money, don't they?
Wally Cleaver: How much money have you got?
Theodore Cleaver: About three dollars.
Wally Cleaver: Well, maybe you could buy it on some kind of an installment plan.
Theodore Cleaver: What's that?
Wally Cleaver: Well, that's a system they got so that people who can't afford stuff can buy it anyway.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, that's pretty neat. Does it really work?
Wally Cleaver: Well, sure it does. How do you think Dad bought this house? He put up a down payment and then he pays the guy who owns the house somethin' every month.
Theodore Cleaver: You mean we're livin' in somebody else's house?
Wally Cleaver: Well, yeah, sorta.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, if they got mad at us or somethin', they could come over here and throw us out.
Wally Cleaver: Naw, they can't just come over and throw us out. This is a democracy. They've gotta pay a high-priced lawyer to come around and throw us out.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, I never knew lawyers had so much fun.
Gilbert, who generally picked up where Larry left off, encourages Beave to use Ward's clubs after he finds a bunch of loose golf balls. The club head is broken in one swing and Gilbert says "Ba' Bye..." til next time. What a sweet life!
Question; Since Gilbert found the golf balls in the first place, why not call Beave to HIS house and mess around with them there? Break something that belongs to his folks, at least bust a window or two, then Beave goes home to a nice warm dinner (comfy, cozy!) and leaves Gilbert out in the cold in a hole! After all, that's what friends are for! The End.
WE WISH!!!!!!
The novel catch to this story however, is that Ward actually broke the club himself and simply put it back in the bag until he gets it repaired. Beave doesn't know this, so he's still stuck to sweat it out one mo' time. Beave's life is cruel.
Wally again proves what a great brother he is, telling Beave to simply tell the truth --until he gets a stern lecture from Ward for something he did. One big happy family!
Good writing from series writer Bob Ross, who wrote 13 episodes for the show, long associated with ANDY GRIFFITH and MAYBERRY RFD. By the way, if Mr. Briggs looks familiar, that's because he's played by popular character actor Henry Hunter, who made multiple appearances on such shows as BEWITCHED, PERRY MASON and HAZEL, many others. Again, one of those actors you've seen a hundred times, but don't know his name.
Give it a watch and compare notes from the old days. SEASON 5 EPISODE 14 Universal remastered dvd box set.
