Jerry Mathers: The Beaver

Quotes 

• Theodore Cleaver : Hey, Wally. You know what? I'd like to go to some other planet where they didn't have any rules at all.

  Wally Cleaver : Look, Beaver, I betcha even if you went to the moon, they'd have signs all over the place, like, um, like, 'Don't spit in the craters' and junk like that.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah. I guess you can't have any real fun until you croak.

• Wally Cleaver : [Beaver is describing his confrontation with Lumpy]  You mean you said all that to a big guy like Lumpy? Weren't you scared of him?

  Theodore Cleaver : Sure, I was scared of him. But sometimes, if you don't let a big guy know you're scared of him, he forgets he's such a big guy.

• Ward Cleaver : [Ward explains why Wally is still being punished]  Yes, but Wally threw towels, too.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah, Dad, but it was self-defense! Like on television, if the other guy draws first, then you can blow his head off and everyone pats you on the back and tells you what a neat guy you are.
