• Wally Cleaver : When you get grown up you don't fight with girls.

  Theodore Cleaver : Never?

  Wally Cleaver : Well I mean you don't fight with them like uh pulling their hair or throwing dirt on them and stuff like that.

  Theodore Cleaver : Well gee if you don't do that what's the fun of fightin'?

• Richard Rickover : [Beaver, Richard and Gilbert are discussing their Friday night plans]  Me and Gilbert are going to the show.

  Gilbert Bates : Yeah, and it's a real neat one. It's all about these giant spiders and snakes that eat people, and this mad scientist that drinks blood and kills girls!

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah, well that sounds pretty neat.

• Theodore Cleaver : [Beaver complaining to Wally]  B: Boy, a guy my age having a babysitter!

  Wally Cleaver : It's nothing to get all shook up about. Look, I used to just make believe the babysitter wasn't even there. I pretended she was a, she was a lamp or something.

  Theodore Cleaver : Ok, I'll try to pretend she's a lamp.

  Wally Cleaver : Sure, that's the idea. That'll make you feel a lot better.

  Theodore Cleaver : Wally?

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah?

  Theodore Cleaver : I'm gonna feel awful creepy when a lamp tells me it's time to go to bed!

• Wally Cleaver : Whaddya mean, why do parents worry about their kids? That's part of the deal about being a parent.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah. But they don't have to worry about you so *much*.

  Wally Cleaver : Oh sure they do. Suppose you got killed or wrecked up while they were out having a good time? That'd be embarrassing for 'em.
