- [Wally is about to embark on a camping trip with the Scouts]
- Ward Cleaver: Now, Wally, you do whatever Mr Norton tells you. And don't go wandering off by yourself. That's the easiest way to get lost.
- June Cleaver: And don't sleep on the damp ground, and don't eat a lot of junk.
- Wally Cleaver: Gee, Mom, that's what we're goin' for.
- June Cleaver: [after Wally leaves] Ward, it's just like he was going in the Army.
- Ward Cleaver: Oh, June, they're going up to Friends Lake, it can't be more than...
- [he pauses, looking worried]
- June Cleaver: More than what?
- Ward Cleaver: Well, well, fifty or sixty miles.
- June Cleaver: Ward, that's practically overseas!
- [Wally has to stay in bed, as a precaution after getting soaked on a camping trip]
- Wally Cleaver: I won't have anything to do.
- The Beaver: I'll stay up here with you, Wally.
- Wally Cleaver: Yeah, but you won't have anything to do, either.
- The Beaver: Yeah, but y'know somethin' Wally, I'd rather do nothin' with you than somethin' with anybody else.
- Wally Cleaver: Y'know Beav... you're goofy.
- June Cleaver: What kind of stories?
- Ward Cleaver: I don't know uh, stories about buffaloes, Indians things like that.
- June Cleaver: Well Ward what if Wally doesn't know any buffalo stories?
- [the Beaver tries to hide his disappointment that Wally is going camping with the Scouts, and he can't go along]
- Wally Cleaver: What are you goin' to do while I'm gone, Beav?
- The Beaver: Who, me? Well, I got a lotta things saved up to do. Me and Larry Mondello, we were going over to the sand hills and catch rabbits, but he went and got swolled glands.
