- June Cleaver: Ward, Wally just told me. What's this all about the Beaver?
- Ward Cleaver: Oh, he just ran away from home.
- June Cleaver: [frantic] Oh, Ward, let's go get him!
- Ward Cleaver: Oh, no, that's exactly what he wants us to do.
- June Cleaver: But he might mean it.
- Ward Cleaver: Now, June, there's nothing to worry about. He'll walk around the block once, and he'll be back by the time we finish our soup.
- Wally Cleaver: [enter Wally] Did he really go?
- June Cleaver: Yes, he did.
- Wally Cleaver: Hey, Dad, he said he was gonna join the pirates, and come back with a wooden leg.
- June Cleaver: [Wally and his Dad laugh about the idea; June is not amused] Ward Cleaver, if he does, I'll never speak to you again!
