Son, I want you to run

a strong right 28 "T" on go. Got it?

Got it.

All right, fellas! Be strong

out there! Protect that ball!

Go tell the quarterback

the play.

- Oh! I get it.

- [ Chuckles ]

Go, Beaver!

Strong right 28 "T" on go.

Strong right 28 "T" on go.

So, what's the play?

- Well?

- Uh, I'll be right back.

[ Announcer ] Seems to be a little

confusion at the Mayfield huddle.

- Go, Beaver!

- Go, Beaver!

- Yeah!

- Break!

[ Man ] Move it, boys!

Move it!

Down!

Set! Go!

Yeah!

Whoa!

[ Grunts ]

- Go!

- Yes!

- Yes!

- [ Growling ]

- Beaver, throw me the ball.

- No!

No!

- What?

[ Announcer ]

Unbelievable! Oak Park wins!

Hey, Beav, how could you throw the ball

to an Oak Park guy?

That was George Tibbles. At camp

we were on the same team in Color War.

Maybe if you started crying,

people would feel sorry for ya.

Don't worry about it, Beav.

You'll get 'em next time.

In fact, I'm looking

forward to it.

Thanks a lot, Eddie.

I am very pleased with the results

of the astronomy test.

Although, there's still

some confusion about Pluto.

While its planetary classification

is still uncertain,

it is definitely

not Mickey's dog.

Rats.

Wow, Beaver, you really

pulled up your grade.

- You got a "C"!

- I did?

Yeah, a "See me after class."

[ Laughs ]

- [ Bell Rings ]

- [ Gasps ]

[ Screaming ]

Okay. Good-bye, Judy.

Thank you, Judy. Bye-bye.

Theodore, I thought it might be better

if we had a chance to talk in private.

I want you to understand

this is not a punishment.

Don't worry. I know what you look like

when you get mad.

I was there the time you caught

Larry going through your purse.

Theodore,

did you have a chance

to study for this test?

I worked real hard, Miss Landers.

I studied till my head hurt.

I guess I just

didn't get any of it.

- I'd really hate to see ya fall behind.

- Yeah, me too.

Nobody likes being the guy who makes you

listen to the same junk over and over...

that you got bored

listening to in the first place.

I'm sure that's

a terrible feeling.

Would it help if you and I reviewed this

material after school for a few days?

[ Whistle Blowing,

Boys Shouting ]

[ Coach ]

Let's go! What are ya doin'?

You mean you'd be willing to help me

after school more than just today?

If you needed to.

If I was real dumb, could we meet every

Tuesday and Thursday until about 4:30?

And maybe even

some Saturdays too?

[ Door Slams ]

It is the mental errors

that will cause a team to lose.

- I don't wanna name any names--

- Go ahead and say his name

all you want.

Beaver's not here. He's falling behind,

and he's gotta stay after school.

Oh. He will be missed.

[ Dog Barking ]

[ Bicycle Approaching ]

[ Tires Skidding ]

[ Chuckling ]

[ Whirring ]

[ Humming ]

- Hi!

- You're home early.

- June.

- [ Vacuum Off ]

You're vacuuming in pearls.

You know what that does to me.

Hmm. Stick around.

Later I'll slip into

a pair of oven mitts.

Oh!

Geez! Why don't

you two get a room?

- [ Laughs ] Wally.

- Oh.

- [ Chuckles ]

- [ Chuckles ]

Oh, hi.

I'm just getting home.

- How was practice today?

- Uh, about the same as always, I guess.

I want to talk to you

about your game on Saturday.

You do?

[ Gulps ]

I'm sorry I can't be there.

I have to go out of town on business.

Oh!

I'll be there the following

Saturday for sure.

You will?

But, Dad, you promised you were

comin' to my game that day.

I did?

Now, boys, your father

can't be two places at once.

You go ahead

and see Wally play, Dad.

He's older than I am, so he's got

a lot less games left in him.

That's very considerate

of you, Beaver.

Yeah, I'm real 'siderate. That's what

it said on my second grade report card.

Come on, my little

football star.

Why don't you go upstairs

and get cleaned up for dinner?

Okay, Mom.

- Hello, Mr. Haskell.

- Hey, Wally.

Oh, I guess nobody skimped

on the aftershave. [ Laughs ]

So, your first boy-girl party.

[ Laughs ]

Let me take this opportunity

to impart upon you a little wisdom...

culled from years of

experience in the field.

That's very generous

of you, Dad.

Boys, women are all

a bunch of bloodsuckers,

out to get ya

any way they can.

When they finally succeed

in breaking your spirit,

they'll flush you

like a dead goldfish.

Now, you boys be on your way

and have a great time.

There was a time my brothers

didn't want me tagging around with them.

- Did it bum you out?

- Not really. I'd tag along anyway.

They'd go to the drive-in with their

girlfriends. I'd sit in the backseat--

- Ward.

- Shh.

- Ward?

- Oh, yeah.

We didn't ask if Karen's party

was gonna be chaperoned.

June, please, they're

12-year-old boys. Come on.

Underneath all that

preening and strutting,

they live in wide-eyed fear

of the opposite sex.

No.

Ewww!

I'll be waiting

in the laundry room...

while you two budding

beauties fight it out.

[ Together ]

Ewww!

So, Tammy, you won, huh?

No, I lost.

Let's just get this over with.

Wow! All new

copper plumbing.

Must have set Karen's

old man back a pretty penny.

Do you not want to do this?

- Don't you?

- Sort of, but not with you.

I can appreciate that.

- Whoo!

- All right! All right!

[ Girl ]

How was it?

- So, did you?

- Do you even have to ask?

- Wow.

- [ Girl ] Wally's up.

- Come on, Wally. Yeah.

- Hey, come on, Wally.

[ Girl ]

Wally, Wally.

You want the lights

on or off?

I think maybe off is better.

- This is pretty awkward, huh?

- Yeah.

But if I have to do this with someone,

I'm glad it's someone I really like.

Really?

You couldn't tell?

I was really trying

not to notice...

because of Eddie and all.

You're a good friend, Wally.

But I don't think you two

will ever be this close.

- Hi, Miss Drucker!

- Hi, Miss Drucker!

- [ Laughing ]

- [ Barking ]

[ Laughing ]

Sorry.

[ Shrieking ]

- [ Camera Clicks ]

- [ Laughing ]

[ Quacking ]

[ Together ]

Ewww!

Well, maybe it's like

when you get a new toy,

and after a few days

you get sick of playin' with it.

Looks like he's havin' more fun with her

than I ever did with a Slinky.

- I'm gonna miss Wally.

- He's still my brother.

Beav, the friend or brother

you once knew is dead.

No, Wally's different.

Hey, my brother and I were pretty tight

too, then he got a girlfriend.

Now all we ever do is fight.

- Really?

- Every time she gets mad

at him, I get my butt kicked.

- Don't worry, Beav. You still got us.

- Yeah.

- Let's go.

- [ Grunts ]

I used to want to stay a kid

my whole life.

But lately, I just

want to get it over with.

[ Landers ]

Theodore is my best helper.

His lima bean has grown

faster than anyone else's.

But there's a problem,

isn't there, Miss Landers?

Why don't we take a look

at Theodore's "Me" book?

- Oh, it's great.

- Oh! [ Laughs ]

- His bike.

- Bike.

He did a lovely job with

the bay windows in the front.

At this age, we're looking
