• [Ward is annoyed that Wally and The Beaver are spending their Saturdays at the movies, instead of outdoors] 

  Ward Cleaver : This is the last Saturday we go through this 'movie routine'.

  Wally Cleaver : Well, gee, Dad, what's wrong with goin' to the movies?

  [sounding more angry] 

  Ward Cleaver : Wally, do you realize you kids went in that theatre today at noon? It's now twenty minutes after six. You spent over six hours today sitting in that stuffy movie theatre.

  The Beaver : Yeah, they sure give you a lot for your thirty-five cents, don't they!

• [after a very rainy night, Eddie learns that Wally and the Beaver slept outside] 

  Eddie Haskell : You mean you guys took the sleeping bags and slept out in a tent last night?

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah. We slept out there most of the night.

  The Beaver : It was real neat.

  Eddie Haskell : Boy, my Pop wouldn't let me sleep out in the rain. He'd'a come out, and dragged me into the house, and made me take a... a hot bath! Didn't your Pop make you come in at all?

  Wally Cleaver : Heck no!

  Eddie Haskell : Boy, I wish I had a father who never cared what I did.
