Leave It to Beaver (TV Series)

Beaver Goes Into Business (1961)

Hugh Beaumont: Ward Cleaver

Quotes 

• Theodore Cleaver : Dad, do you think I ought to try again?

  Ward Cleaver : Well, of course I do. If I were you and Gilbert, I'd go out first thing tomorrow and line up a real job cutting lawns. Only, uh, this time, make your deal before you cut the lawn, not after.

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah. Yeah, Dad's just using Child Psychology on ya, Beav. It's like this movie I saw on TV, where this Army pilot cracked up his plane on his first flight, and he wanted to quit flyin'.

  Ward Cleaver : Yeah, and his squadron leader sent him right out again on another flight.

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah. Yeah, that's what happened.

  Ward Cleaver : And he overcame his fear.

  Wally Cleaver : No, he never got the plane off the ground. Ran it smack into the hangar. But they gave him a neat funeral. They had the band goin', and everything. Could you pass the bread, please?
