Leave It to Beaver

Leave it to Beaver.

Starring Barbara Billingsley,

Hugh Beaumont,

Tony Dow,

and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

This is a real neat breakfast, Mom.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Well, fellas, how are things going at school?

All right, I guess.

Yesterday, Angela Valentine ate library paste.

Ate library paste?

Yeah, right outta the jar.

Hey Beav, isn't that Angela Valentine

the one that's always showing the kids her extra toe?

Yeah, but everybody's used to seeing that,

so now she eats library paste.

Well, that's one way to get attention.

Miss Landers says if she doesn't

stop eating library paste,

she's gonna have to go see the principal.

Anything new happening at your school, Wally?

Well, they're having a dance Saturday night.

I'm on the Dance Committee.

Oh well fine, how'd that come about?

Duke Hathaway appointed me.

I don't believe I've heard of Duke Hathaway before.

He's a Senior.

Last year he was All-County guard in basketball.

Sort of a big wheel.

Anything that happens around school,

Duke's almost always the head of it.

Well, who are you taking to the dance?

If you're on the committee,

you don't have to take anybody,

you just spend the whole evening

making the other guys have a good time.

Was, was that the Duke's idea?

Yeah, he's got everything all organized.

He even appointed two fellas

just to see that none of the other guys throw sandwiches.

Well, what's your job?

The Duke's gonna tell me today.

He told me yesterday he was too busy to talk to me.

Boy, when I get to high school,

I'm not going to any dances,

even if they would let me throw sandwiches.

Well Beaver, one of these days,

you'll change your mind about girls

the way Wally did.

Gee Mom, I don't know if mine's changed all the way.

There's an awful lotta girls

that still give me the creeps.

Well, just hang on to that feeling

as long as you can, son.

Hi.

Hi.

What's the matter?

Ward, that's not the same tie

you were wearing when you left this morning.

Oh no, I spilled something on that one at lunch.

I put this on at the office.

Why do you keep an extra tie at the office?

In case I spill something at lunch.

Well, I don't like the whole idea.

Next time, you come home with spots.

All right.

Where are the kids?

Upstairs.

Oh, Wally found out what his job is

on the Dance Committee.

Oh, he finally got to talk to the Duke?

Mm-hmm, he's Chairman of the Blind Date Committee.

They get dates for girls who have no escorts.

Oh, well, I don't imagine that's the way

the Prince of Wales met Mrs. Simpson,

but at least it's social progress.

Hi fellas.

Hi Dad.

Hi Dad.

Well Wally, I hear you're Chairman

of the Blind Date Committee.

That's to get dates for girls

nobody wants to be seen with.

Well, I sure hope you do a good job.

How many young ladies do you have to find escorts for?

Well, there was a whole big list,

but by the time Duke Hathaway gave me the list,

there was only one left.

Oh well, that should be easy for you then.

Who's the girl?

Jill Bartlett.

I'll bet she's a real ugly girl,

with warts all over and gray hair.

Ah, cut it out, Beav.

Well now, what is she like?

I don't know.

She's a transfer from Linwood.

I've never noticed her.

You called anyone yet?

Well, well, gee Dad, I don't know how to do it.

I've never been a committee before.

Well, the thing to do is to call the girl first

and find out what she's like

and then see if you can find a fellow

to fit in with her.

Yeah, okay, I'll do it after supper.

Um, you're sure this is how you do it?

There's nothing to be nervous about,

just go ahead and call her up.

Sure, just tell her who you are

and get a little line on her.

Hey Dad, would you tell Beaver to beat it?

He can't stop me from sittin' in my own living room,

can he, Dad?

No, not if you're quiet.

Well, tell him not to listen.

Don't listen.

Yes, sir.

Is this the Bartlett residence?

Well, may I speak to Jill, please?

She's in the bathtub?

Oh no, no, that's okay, Mrs. Bartlett,

I'll just leave a message for when she's dry.

Uh, I'm Wally Cleaver from high school

and I'm Chairman of the Blind Date Committee

and I'm trying to find her a date for Saturday night.

And I'd kinda like to know something about her.

Uh, how much does she weigh?

102?

Well, does she like fellas that weigh more

or weigh less than she does?

Oh, well, I guess I got enough to go on.

If I can find somebody that'll take her,

tell her I'll call her back.

Yeah, yeah, I got your number right here.

Well, bye.

How do you like that?

Her mom said she was taking a bath.

What about it?

Well, heck, if a girl called up here,

you wouldn't tell her I was taking a bath, would you?

Well, with the number of baths you take,

I don't think the risk is very great.

Well anyway, now that you know a little about her,

the next thing to do is to call up some of your friends

and try and line up a date.

Right now?

Well sure.

Your mother and I are just going

to take these coffee cups out to the kitchen.

But Ward, I...

Come on, dear.

You know, Wally, this is kind of fun.

Like that time we tried to give those kittens away.

Hey, you know, I think I'll call Eddie Haskell.

He owes me a big favor.

What'd you do for Eddie?

I let him wear my football letter

when he went away to summer camp.

Nah, I think I'll call Chester Anderson first.

How come you don't call Eddie?

I don't know.

Eddie's the kinda guy

that as soon as you ask him for a favor,

right away he's a wise guy.

Uh, hello Chester?

This is Wally.

Say, listen, do you have a date

for the dance Saturday night?

Oh, you haven't?

Well, Duke Hathaway appointed me Chairman

of the Blind Date Committee

and we got you down for Jill Bartlett.

Huh?

Aw, she can't be that be that bad.

No, I haven't seen her, she was taking a bath.

But her mother says she's okay.

What do you mean her mother's prejudiced?

Well look, are you gonna take her or not?

Okay, okay, but just wait til you want a favor

from me and the Duke, just wait, that's all.

What's the matter, Wally, does Chester know her?

Yeah, kinda.

She's in his science class.

She doesn't talk to anybody,

she just sits there and does her work.

Gee, most of the girls in my class

are always talkin'.

This must be some new kind of a girl.

Hey, you know, I think I'll call Tooey.

I know he didn't have a date.

Gee, I'd hate to be a girl and have to go with Tooey.

Hello, Tooey?

This is Wally.

Hey, about the dance, I'm Chairman

of the Blind Date Committee and...

Huh?

Okay, yeah, okay, I'll see you, Tooey.
