• Wally Cleaver : [Wally and The Beaver have to sell their old horse]  Boy, you know, I'm really gonna miss Nick.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah, me too. Well, at first it wasn't like havin' a dog or a rabbit that you could hold, but when I was sittin' with him this morning he put his head *right in my lap*.

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah? No foolin'?

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah. I never had anything that big like me before.

• June Cleaver : [the carnival is in town, and the boys have gotten jobs there]  Ward, I don't like the idea of those boys working around a carnival.

  Ward Cleaver : Oh, dear, rubbing down horses and cleaning out cages and carrying water to animals, why - gee, I didn't know there was anything that wonderful left in the world for kids to do.

  Theodore Cleaver : [upstairs, after washing up]  Hey Wally, what happened to all the dirty clothes we took off?

  Wally Cleaver : I think Mom threw 'em in the wash.

  Theodore Cleaver : [disappointed]  Gee, whiz. I wanted to go to school tomorrow smellin' like I worked at a carnival.

  Ward Cleaver : [on Saturday, waiting for the boys to come home on their last day of carnival work]  You know, this has been a great experience for them.

  June Cleaver : Maybe. I'll be glad when they start coming home smelling like boys again.
