Richard Rickover : Why don't we go down to the old McMahan house and mess around?
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : Nah, my dad doesn't want me hangin' around that old house. A guy could get hurt.
Richard Rickover : Aw, I bet you're afraid to go down there because you think it's haunted.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : I do not! And there's no such things as ghosts! And, anyway, they don't come out in the afternoon.

Ward Cleaver : [breakfast conversation] I've been put on a committee to help build a new youth center.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : What's a youth center?
Wally Cleaver : Oh, that's a big building where they get all the kids together so they can watch 'em.

June Cleaver : Well, I think both of you boys should be very proud of your father being selected for the committee.

Wally Cleaver : You mean, you mean some other kid gave the policeman *your* name?
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : That's what he did, all right.

Ward Cleaver : [Ward is trying to find out which boy framed the Beaver] Well, Beaver, who was it?
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : Gee, Dad! I don't want to be a squealer!
Ward Cleaver : I realize that, son. But this is a little different case here. You see, by giving your name, this boy put *you* in jeopardy.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : Huh?
Wally Cleaver : What Dad means is that it's not squealin' if you rat on a rat.
Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : [later, Ward leaves] Hey, Wally. Tell me something now that Dad is gone. Did I really do the right thing squealin' on Richard?
Wally Cleaver : Sure, you did! You can't let a guy get away with junk like that! Anyway, you practically got the whole United States Constitution backing up your squealin'.
