Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBeaver comments that it would be worse for a guy like Eddie Haskell to have a kid that acted just like him. Wally says that would never happen because a guy like Eddie only comes along once in a couple of hundred years. However, in The New Leave It to Beaver (1983), Eddie does end up having two sons, Freddie and Eddie Jr., who act like him. Both were played by Ken Osmond's real-life sons, Eric and Christian.
- Quotes
Wally Cleaver: There's gonna be more yellin' and screamin' around here than when you were a little kid and you tried to put your marbles in the garbage disposal.
Theodore Cleaver: Maybe between now and Saturday I could buy Dad a new golf club.
Wally Cleaver: Now where are you gonna get the money? They cost around twelve bucks.
Theodore Cleaver: No foolin? Boy, when you grow up your toys sure cost a lot of money, don't they?
Wally Cleaver: How much money have you got?
Theodore Cleaver: About three dollars.
Wally Cleaver: Well, maybe you could buy it on some kind of an installment plan.
Theodore Cleaver: What's that?
Wally Cleaver: Well, that's a system they got so that people who can't afford stuff can buy it anyway.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, that's pretty neat. Does it really work?
Wally Cleaver: Well, sure it does. How do you think Dad bought this house? He put up a down payment and then he pays the guy who owns the house somethin' every month.
Theodore Cleaver: You mean we're livin' in somebody else's house?
Wally Cleaver: Well, yeah, sorta.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, if they got mad at us or somethin', they could come over here and throw us out.
Wally Cleaver: Naw, they can't just come over and throw us out. This is a democracy. They've gotta pay a high-priced lawyer to come around and throw us out.
Theodore Cleaver: Gee, I never knew lawyers had so much fun.
What Beaver does not know but the audience does is that Ward broke that club during his last Saturday of golfing, but just put it back in the bag and in the closet, telling June he'd replace it later. Beaver now has to tell his father what he thinks he's done. Wally encourages him to confess immediately and get his punishment over with. Beaver was going to follow through with that until Ward spots Wally wearing one of his shirts and gives him a stern lecture - in front of Beaver - about respecting other people's property. This causes Beaver to lose his courage. How does this all work out? Watch and find out.
Once again, Wally shows himself to be a pretty good and wise big brother as to the advice he gives Beaver. He even helps Beaver out by creating a diversion when Beaver needs to physically replace Ward's club, but June has to be gotten out of the living room so Beaver can do so undiscovered.
