Ward Cleaver : [Wally has been invited to join The Barons, a high school club] They seem like a nice bunch of fellows?
Wally Cleaver : Gee, I don't know, Dad. Eddie says they're the craziest.
June Cleaver : Craziest?
Wally Cleaver : Oh, that doesn't mean they're squirrely or anything, Mom. It just means they're real cool guys.
Ward Cleaver : You know, when *I* was a boy, when we said 'crazy' we meant 'crazy'.
June Cleaver : [gently mocking] How backward!
The Beaver : Boy, Mom, I'll bet in those days you said somethin' like 'swell', or somethin', huh, Mom?
June Cleaver : I think we said, 'keen'.
The Beaver : Keen? They don't even use that on 'Dobie Gillis' anymore!
The Beaver : [later] Eddie said the Barons are real cool. You know what 'cool' means, don't you Mom?
June Cleaver : Mmm-hmm. Sometimes I think it means 'not so hot'.
The Beaver : Gee, I never thought of it that way.
June Cleaver : Goodnight, Beaver.
The Beaver : Goodnight, Mom.

Ward Cleaver : [Wally wants to join the Barons, a club at his school] Wally, you don't seem to know many of the fellows well. Don't you think you should find out a little more about the Barons before you join up?
The Beaver : I know something about 'em. They're a weird bunch.
June Cleaver : What do you mean, weird?
The Beaver : Well, you oughta see 'em, Mom. They all wear gray trousers, and they've got these blue jackets and ties...
June Cleaver : Well, they sound to me like a nice group of gentlemen.
The Beaver : That's what I mean. *Weird.*

Ward Cleaver : [paraphrasing Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven'] 'Tis some visitor, he muttered, rapping at my chamber door.'
