• June Cleaver : [BMOC Duke Hathaway has appointed Wally to the school dance committee]  Who are you taking to the dance?

  Wally Cleaver : 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.

  Ward Cleaver : Was that the Duke's idea?

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah. He's got everything all organized. He even appointed two fellas just to see that none of the other guys throw sandwiches.

  June Cleaver : Well, what's your job?

  Wally Cleaver : The Duke's gonna tell me today. He told me yesterday he was too busy to talk to me.

  Theodore Cleaver : Boy, when I get to High School, I'm not going to any dances - even if they would let me throw sandwiches.

  June Cleaver : Well, Beaver, one of these days you'll change your mind about girls, the way Wally did.

  Wally Cleaver : Gee Mom, I don't know if mine's changed all the way. There's an awful lot of girls that still give me the creeps.

  Ward Cleaver : Well, just hang on to that feeling as long as you can, son.

• Larry Mondello : What's the matter with your brother, Beaver?

  Theodore Cleaver : He's all messed up with girls. He can't get a blind date for one for a dance.

  Larry Mondello : I know how it is. My sister has trouble gettin' dates for dances and stuff.

  Theodore Cleaver : How come?

  Larry Mondello : 'Cause she's homely.

  Theodore Cleaver : Oh, that's right.

  Larry Mondello : But my mother and father are always hollerin' at her.

  Theodore Cleaver : Does that do any good?

  Larry Mondello : Well, if they holler enough, she gets a cousin or somethin' to take her.

  Larry Mondello : [later, Beaver and Larry are about to spy on Wally's blind date]  Why does Wally want you to look at this girl?

  Theodore Cleaver : 'Cause he's takin' her to the dance, and he wants to know what she looks like.

  Larry Mondello : Oh. A fella once called me up and asked me what my sister looked like.

  Theodore Cleaver : Did you tell him?

  Larry Mondello : [horrified]  *No!* She was sittin' right there!
