[Ricky wants to know why he can't have the candy Ozzie just brought home]
Ozzie Nelson: You can't have the candy because I bought it for your mother.
David Nelson: What was the misunderstanding about, Pop?
Ozzie Nelson: Well, I came home with a couple of tickets for the ballet.
Ricky Nelson: The ballet? Heck, that's sissy stuff.
Ozzie Nelson: It is not sissy stuff. A lot of men go to the ballet. Least a lot of men'll be going tonight.
[Ozzie doesn't want to tell the boys that he expects tonight's ballet to be somewhat risqué]
David Nelson: How come Mom's mad at you? Didn't she like the ballet?
Ozzie Nelson: Well, yes, but the feminine mind is a very weird and complicated machine.
Ricky Nelson: Like an airplane, huh, Pop?
Ozzie Nelson: Yes, without a pilot. You'll find that women are sometimes very difficult to understand.
Ricky Nelson: I'll say. There's this new girl in school, and I can't understand her
Ozzie Nelson: Whaddaya mean?
Ricky Nelson: Well, she's different from the other girls.
Ozzie Nelson: Different? In what way?
Ricky Nelson: She doesn't like me.
Ozzie Nelson: Oh, do most of the girls in school like you?
Ricky Nelson: Oh, sure, they all do. They think I'm cute.
David Nelson: Oh, Ricky, stop bragging. You're not cute at all.
Ricky Nelson: I don't know. I was lookin' in the mirror today, and I'm not bad.
