Lookin' like you're about ready

to cry in front of the whole world.

So, in a way, it's kind of

like Wally did you a favor.

So then at the ice skating rink, right?

I'm skating, and I'm--

- Hey, dude!

- Hey, Kyle!

- Dig the ride.

- Thanks. Stole it from some kid.

So, uh, who's the Betty?

Uh, just some chick.

I stole her from some guy.

Oh! See ya later.

See ya, man.

Hey, Karen. Pizza?

So, back to the story

about the ice skating rink--

- Hey, Romeo.

- What are you guys doin' here?

Just educating young Theodore

on the perils of teen dating.

Wait. Were you guys

at the rink?

[ Beaver ] But don't worry, Wally.

We still love you.

Hey, look, my bike!

Come back here!

Give me back my bike!

[ Wally ] Come on! Come on!

Stop, you thief!

Let's get him!

[ Wally ]

Hurry up!

Where'd he go? There he is.

Get back here!

- Hmm?

- [ Beaver ] Hey, you, come back here!

- Fish!

- Whoa!

- Ewww!

Adios, amigos!

Good evening,

Mrs. Hensler.

And what a fine automobile

you're driving tonight.

- What are you boys doing here?

- Well, Wallace, um,

Theodore and myself just got

a sudden craving for sushi.

Ha!

Hey, that was

Mrs. Hensler.

[ Wally ]

Big mouth.

[ Together ]

Dad! We gotta get home!

[ Phone Ringing ]

- Hello?

- Ward, Claire Hensler.

Isn't it a little late

for Beaver to be vandalizing a

fish market on a school night?

Beaver's not vandalizing a

fish market on a school night.

He's safely tucked away in a tent in our

backyard, listening to scary stories.

What a relief.

What I must have seen was only the clone

of young Theodore covered in mackerel.

Despite what you may think,

I know my boys better than you do.

- [ Phone Slams, Dial Tone Hums ]

- [ Chuckles ]

Beav, stay back.

You smell rank!

- [ Thudding ]

- Eddie.

[ Eddie ] "My mouth got dry,

and my heart started thumping so hard.

I thought it was going to

come clear out of my chest."

[ Whistling ]

- Oh!

- [ Tires Screeching ]

- Sorry again, mister!

- [ Sighs ]

[ Grunts ]

Ick!

[ Eddie ]

"...downstairs.

"l walked into the living room

and checked out the TV.

"It was real warm, as if someone

had just been watching it.

"Then out of nowhere,

it pops on...

"and begins to play that same weird

Nintendo game I saw earlier.

"Well, I almost

jumped out of my skin.

"To make matters worse,

the piano...

"begins to sound off

with a strange little song.

I turned back

to stare at the cat--"

- W-Wally?

- Shh. This is the good part.

All right.

Good night, boys.

[ Sniffs ] Anyone ever hear

the word bath?

"Pepper is strutting

across the keys.

His tail straight up

behind him."

Scary stories just aren't as scary

when you don't have a bike anymore.

Yeah, they're not that great when

you don't have a girl anymore either.

Maybe I should get something stolen

from me so I can join you two mopesters.

You better help us

get that bike!

[ Bell Ringing ]

Okay, good work, everybody.

Don't forget.

We have a spelling pretest tomorrow.

Wanna come over to my house and watch my

sister making out with her boyfriend?

I can't. I got

"football" practice.

Oh, right. Gotcha.

I've been having a hard time

keeping up with the math stuff again.

Maybe we should

go over it some more.

I'm sorry. I won't be

able to help you today.

I have a teacher's conference,

but maybe Judy could help you.

Certainly, Miss Landers!

I sure would hate to see

Beaver get left behind.

Thank you, Judy. I'm sure

Theodore will be in very good hands.

[ Drum roll ]

All right!

Sit down and shut up!

You're gonna learn this stuff

if I have to shove it down your throat!

And where do you think

you're going, Beaver Cleaver!

Thanks anyway, Judy, but I'd rather go

through third grade a hundred times...

than listen to your ugly voice

for one minute.

- Gee, Larry, take a breath.

- [ Chattering ]

Hello, Beaver.

Oh. Hi, Karen.

Go ahead. Ask him.

[ Karen ]

Uh--

Beaver, so, how's

Wally been doing?

He's been kind of crummy.

Why has he been so crummy?

Lately he's had the same look

on his face the Hunchback did...

when Esmeralda ran off

with the good-looking guy.

Bye, Beaver.

Hey, we got an hour and a half

to kill till practice is over.

Wanna go to the library?

Okay. We can look at

that National Geographic...

with the native girls

of Chiluaga.

- Yeah.

- Hey, Beav, you gonna eat that?

Mm-mm.

[ Fred ]

Well, Frank, you did it again.

Now, come on. Get outta here

before I call Security.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye!

- Bye-bye.

- Thanks again.

That is how the game

is played, Ward, old man.

Drill 'em, fill 'em

and bill 'em.

Take notes and one day, maybe,

you'll have a corner office.

I'll say this, Fred.

What I saw today, I'm sure

they don't teach in any business school.

Learn it, use it

and pass it on.

The best part is, I finally have time

to make it to one of Beaver's games.

So long, Fred.

It's due back

on the 19th.

I want to check this out.

Hey, Beav, look.

That's the biggest

coffee cup I've ever seen.

Hey, that place

finally opened, huh?

Yeah, and I can't wait to have

my first iced "mochaccino."

Hey, it's you!

Give me back my bike!

Your bike? I get the feelin'

I'm being accused of somethin' here.

You know what he's

talkin' about, Kyle?

Yeah. You stole his bike,

and he wants it back.

Give me my bike back,

or I'll call my brother.

You mean, Wally?

Doesn't he have enough trouble

hanging onto his own belongings?

I'll tell you what.

I'll make you a deal.

Me and Kyle have been arguing

about that big cup up there.

He says there's coffee in it,

and I say there isn't.

It's probably not coffee. They probably

got a machine up there that makes steam.

That's what I said,

but the sign says it's coffee,

and Kyle thinks there's a law

against fake advertising.

So what's the deal?

You climb up there

and prove I'm right...

and that there's no coffee in it,

I'll give you your bike back.

You want me to

climb up there? No way!

I guess you're right, man.

This kid here, he's got no spine.

Come on, man. Let's blow outta here.

I gotta meet Karen.

Wait. How do I know once I get up there,

you'll really give me my bike back?

Dude, what other choice

you got?

[ Sighs ]

[ Snickers ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Shouting ]

[ Coach ] Let's see some hustle now.

Come on. Move it!

- There's so sign of the Beaver.

- Maybe he was drafted by the Packers.

[ Fred Laughing ]

Ah! There he is.

Surprise, Beaver.

Oh! Uh, have a good game, son.

Go get 'em!

Boy, it's high up here.

It just looks that way,

'cause you're way up there.

But from down here,

it's not that high at all.

[ Panting ]

Coach Gordon?

Hello. Ward Cleaver.

Oh, yeah, hi.

How are ya?

- This is Fred Rutherford.

- Coach.

So, your son doing

any better in school?

Pardon?

That's why he had to leave

the team, so he could get

extra help after school, right?

Geez, you'll have

to excuse me, Coach.

I seem to find myself

out of the loop on this one.

[ Grunts ]

- Whoa!

- Come on, Beav! Quit screwin' around!
