• [Wally tries to convince The Beaver not to be afraid of an old house in their neighborhood] 

  The Beaver : Some of the guys says it's really haunted.

  Wally Cleaver : Now, how do they know?

  The Beaver : Other guys told 'em.

  Wally Cleaver : Look, Beaver, so long as I can ever remember nobody's ever lived there.

  The Beaver : I know. That's what a ghost is. A nobody. Larry Mondello's a-scared of the house, too.

  Wally Cleaver : Aaaawh, that's 'cause you're both a couple-a babies.

  The Beaver : Larry weighs a hundred and nine pounds!

  Wally Cleaver : All right, all right, so he's a big baby.

• The Beaver : Wally, if there's no such of a thing as ghosts and witches, then how come they got names for 'em?

  Wally Cleaver : Well, they used to have 'em, long time ago, like, uh, like Anne Boleyn.

  The Beaver : Who's she?

  Wally Cleaver : Well, she's this real neat ghost we had in school. She started out to be a girl, and then turned into a ghost because this king went and chopped her head off.

  The Beaver : Wow!

  Wally Cleaver : Now she's gotta walk around in this tower they got over there in England. She's gotta carry her head under her arm.

  The Beaver : Does it wobble when she puts it on her neck?

  Wally Cleaver : I don't know. We haven't studied that far.

• The Beaver : Wally, what's that?

  Wally Cleaver : I found it. I'm making a handball glove.

  The Beaver : Oh, can I have the fingers?

  Wally Cleaver : Well, what do you want the fingers for? They're no good.

  The Beaver : Well, I could carry them around. Not every guys got a pocket full of fingers.
