Starring Barbara Billingsley,

Tony Dow,

and Jerry Mathers

as The Beaver.

Dad, would you give me a current event?

Uh, what?

I have to have a current event for school

for social science.

Oh.

Well let's see.

Here, how about this one.

The Indians have predicted a long and severe winter.

Dad, you gave that one to me when I was

in the first grade.

Well, the Indians always do predict

a long and sever winter.

Listen, I'll tell you what.

You go through this and find something

and we'll discuss it later, huh?

Okay, I'll ask Wally.

Dinner's ready if you two are.

Where's Wally, mom?

Having dinner at Julie Foster's.

Again?

I get his dessert.

Right now you can go upstairs and get washed.

Yes mom.

June,

Wally's been having dinner over at Julie Foster's

quite a lot, hasn't he?

Honestly, Wally should make

some gesture towards Julie,

should take her out to dinner sometime.

I don't know if Wally would go for that.

Well why would he be against it?

Give him a chance to learn some of the social graces.

Well he's a teenager.

That's reason enough right there

for him to be against it.

Hey Wally, guess what?

What?

Mom said you have to take that Julie Foster out to dinner.

I didn't say he had to.

It's just that Wally has accepted the Foster's

hospitality and he should do something to repay it.

But dad said you wouldn't do it.

Beaver, have you been eavesdropping again?

Oh no dad, I was just listening.

You mean you want me to take Julie out

to a restaurant or something like that?

Yes, Wally, you're old enough to have a dinner date.

Yeah.

Yeah, I guess that might not be such a bad idea after all.

Gee Wally, you mean you're going to do it?

The only thing is,

I don't know where to take Julie.

Well it seems to me you should ask Julie

where she'd like to go.

That's the gentlemanly thing.

Okay, I'll see her at school today.

You mean you're gonna do a gentlemanly thing

like that at school?

Well Beaver, there's no rule against being a gentleman

at school.

Yeah, but I wouldn't wanna be caught

doing it at my school.

Oh hi mom.

Hi Wally.

Say mom, do you mind if I use the phone?

No honey, not at all.

Is this a private conversation?

Well I was gonna call Julie.

Oh, wasn't she at school today?

Well yeah, she was there.

But I didn't get to ask her.

Well, I better see about my dinner.

Hello Julie?

This is Wally.

Wally Cleaver.

Oh how are you, Wally?

Oh I'm fine.

Oh I'm just fine, too.

Yeah well you know Julie,

I've been coming over to your house

quite a lot lately

and well um,

well what I mean to say is,

do you like restaurants?

Well that depends.

Well I was thinking that,

well maybe if you weren't doing anything

that I could take you out to a dinner or something?

Saturday night.

Oh Wally, that would be smashing!

It would?

Yeah, I thought it'd be pretty smashing too.

Say, where would you like to go?

Oh I don't know, Wally.

Where would you like to go?

Oh no you're supposed to say where you wanna go.

Well I was reading in the paper just this morning

there's a new restaurant that just opened up last month

with a real cute name.

The White Fox.

Did you ever hear of it?

No, but if that's where you wanna go.

Oh I don't wanna go to The White Fox

unless you wanna go to The White Fox, Wally.

Well I mean, I've got nothing against it.

After all it can't kill us.

Unless the food's rotten or something.

Well I'll be ready Saturday night.

With bells on.

Okay that'll be neat.

Then I'll pick you up, okay?

Okay bye.

The White Fox.

I just don't get it, Sam.

Why don't you wanna go bowling tonight?

Look, I told you Eddie,

I've got reasons.

What's a little squirt like this

reading the paper for?

Oh he's gotta get a good current event for Monday.

What's with the nail filing jazz?

Who are you, Ceaser Romero?

He's got a dinner date with a girl

to take her out to a restaurant.

Cut it out, would you Beav?

Hey, who is it?

Julie?

Okay, okay, yeah, yeah, it's Julie.

Hey Wally, when you take her out,

what are you gonna talk to her about?

I don't know.

Same as we always talk about.

School, sports, the other guys, I don't know.

And just what restaurant is going to be the scene

of this fascinating conversation?

Someplace called The White Fox.

Man oh man oh man!

Are you out of your cotton picking mind?

Why, is there something wrong with The White Fox?

Nothing, nothing at all

if you happen to be a millionaire.

Wally's not a millionaire.

He's not even wealthy.

Oh brother, The White Fox.

My pop says that's the swankiest joint in town.

You gotta any idea what this feat is gonna set you back?

Hey Wally, here's and ad for The White Fox.

Well, how much are dinners?

Doesn't say.

When they're afraid to put it in the paper, that's bad.

Hey Wally, here's their number.

Why don't you call up and ask them

how much dinners are?

That's a good idea.

You may not be as goofy as you look.

I couldn't call them up.

All you have to do is ask them

how much it's gonna set you back.

If they give you any trouble tell them

you're Bobby Darrin or somebody.

Okay, I guess I could call them.

Hey Beav, what's the number?

Klondike, two, three, nine, five, eight.

Hello, The White Fox?

I was just wondering about the price of your dinners.

Just a minute.

He wants to know something about ala carte

or table don't.

Nevermind that French jazz.

Just ask him how much soup is.

Excuse me sir, but how much is your soup?

80 cents!

How much is coffee?

Holy mackerel!

I mean, thank you anyway.

Wow, coffee's 40 cents.

Wally, that's a dollar 20 a piece.

That's 2.40 for both of you.

If you don't eat anything else

you just might make it.

Listen squirt, no girl in the world

is gonna settle for a liquid diet.

Boy oh boy.

I hate to say this Gertrude.

But I think that somewhere in between the soup

and the coffee, you're gonna get murdered.

Hi dad.

Oh, hi Wally.

Say dad,
