• Wally Cleaver : [talking with Johnny Franklin about his Military School]  That sure sounds swell. I bet you don't get to carry guns, though.

  Johnny Franklin : Why, sure we do.

  Theodore Cleaver : Can you shoot real bullets with 'em?

  Johnny Franklin : Well, the big guys have a rifle team. We drill with wooden guns.

  Wally Cleaver : Well, gee, what's the good of havin' a gun if you can't shoot it?

  Johnny Franklin : [he pauses to think]  Well, if there was an invasion or something, you could hit guys with it.

• Johnny Franklin : [bragging about his Military School]  We even have two guys from the regular Army to teach us the drillin'. And you know somethin' else? All our teachers are men. Well, except the nurse.

  Wally Cleaver : Oh, boy. All men teachers, huh?

  Theodore Cleaver : No lady teachers?

  Johnny Franklin : [proudly]  Not a single one.

  Theodore Cleaver : You mean you don't have to wash?

  Johnny Franklin : Well sure, they make us wash. You get demerits if they find dirt on ya.

  Wally Cleaver : Gee, Beaver, you have to wash no matter where you go to school.

  Theodore Cleaver : [disappointed]  Yeah, I guess so.
