- Quotes
[first lines]
Wallace 'Wally' Cleaver: [reading an invitation, while in the kitchen] 'You are invited to a party at school for Penny. Three-thirty, Friday. Cake and ice cream will be served.' Signed - 'Mrs. Henry Woods.' You might as well throw this one away, Mom.
June Cleaver: Now, why wouldn't he want to go to a party at school for Penny Woods?
Wallace 'Wally' Cleaver: Well, in the first place - 'cause she's a girl. In the second place - 'cause Beaver says she's just about the creepiest girl in the whole school.
June Cleaver: Oh, I think that's ridiculous. I wanted him to go because I think this is going to be a sweet little affair.
Wallace 'Wally' Cleaver: Okay, Mom. But I think it's going to be one of those 'sweet little affairs' Dad's gonna have to beat him into going to.
It's no secret that Beaver hates Penny Woods and Penny woods hates Beaver.
So, when Beaver gets invited to her farewell party at school you can be sure that he won't be going. (And, that's that!)
Anyway - Ward and June work on Beaver and finally convince him to attend Penny's party. And what happens as a result may surprise many viewers.
