Starring...

and...

Hey, Mom, there's
crumbs in the butter.

I know. Beaver ate early.

You didn't drink your coffee.

It was too hot. I'll drink it
when I get home tonight. Bye.

- Bye, Dad.
- Bye.

Boy, if there's anything I
hate, it's crumbs in the butter.

Mom, can I have a quarter to
get a new notebook for school,

- or I'm gonna be
in big trouble.
- But I don't have it, Beaver.

Maybe you can catch your
father. He's just leaving.



Hey, Beav, you got
crumbs in the butter.

It must've happened when
I dropped it on the floor.

I'll get you some more butter.

- Dad! Oh, Dad!
- What is it, Beaver?

Can I have a quarter to get a new
notebook? Or I'm gonna be in big trouble.

I'm sorry, Beav. I'm in a big hurry
this morning. You ask your mother.

I already asked her,
and she said to ask you.

Well...

Well, Beaver, I don't
have any change.

Gee, Dad. I've got to have a
quarter, or I'm gonna get yelled at.

All right. I'll give
you this dollar,

but you be sure and bring
me my change tonight.

Oh, sure, Dad. I'll
give you the change.

- And don't lose it.
- Oh, sure, Dad.



I must've dropped it.

- Oh, hi, Beaver.
- Hi, Larry.

Did you bring your
money to get a notebook?

Yeah, didn't you?

No. I was gonna ask
my father this morning,

but he's not speaking to me.

How come he's
not speaking to you?

Last night he caught me
eating a piece of pie in bed.

Gee, that's tough, Larry.

But we've got to have our notebooks.
I'm gonna go down and get mine now.

Gee, Beaver! You
got a whole dollar!

Give me the loan of a quarter.

Well, it's not my dollar, Larry.

I've got to bring
home the change.

But, gee, Beaver. I get
my allowance tomorrow.

I'll pay you right back.

You don't want to be a mean
guy and get me in trouble, do you?

- I don't know, Larry.
- Look, Beaver,

I'll even go down to the school
store and buy both our notebooks

and bring you back
50 cents' change.

Well... Well, okay.

Thanks, Larry.

Gee, Larry, where've you been?
Everybody's gone into class.

Here's your notebook, Beaver.

All right, but where's
my 50 cents' change.

I don't have it. When
I got down there,

Mr. Proddy told me I owed
him 50 cents from before,

and he wouldn't let me
buy anything till I paid it.

So I had to give
him the whole dollar.

But that's my father's dollar,

and I've got to bring
home the change.

But, gosh, Beaver,
I did it for you.

I knew if you didn't have your
notebook, you'd be in big trouble,

and I didn't want to see you get
in big trouble 'cause you're my pal.

You're not gonna get mad at me

for doing you a favor, are you?

No, I guess not.

Say, uh, I gave Beaver
a dollar this morning.

- Did he give you the change?
- No, he didn't.

Huh. Beaver! Beaver!

What did you give
him a dollar for?

He needed a quarter
for a notebook.

Then why didn't you
give him a quarter?

I didn't have a quarter.

What'd you want, Dad?
Beaver's getting ready for bed.

Oh. Well, will you
go up and tell him

I want my change
from this morning?

Sure, Dad.

- Hey, Beaver!
- You know, Ward,

Wally's getting to look
more and more like my sister.

I'll tell him to get a haircut.

It's not his hair.
It's his eyes.

- You can't do anything
about them.
- Oh, now, Ward.

Beaver says he doesn't
have your change.

Well, you can just
go back upstairs

and ask him why he
doesn't have my change.

Well, gee, Dad, would you
mind yelling at him yourself?

I've got a lot of
homework to do.

Oh. Well, all right.

Beaver? Beaver,
you come down here!

Now, dear, don't get him crying.

Dear, I'm just gonna
talk to him like a father.

That's what I mean.

Is he mad?

Yeah, but Mom's in there.

You want something, Dad?

Yes. I want my change.

Uh, I don't have it.

Well, why don't
you have it, Beaver?

Well, you see, Mom, I was gonna
buy my notebook with a quarter,

but Larry didn't have his
quarter, so I loaned him a quarter.

And the rest of the dollar got used up
because he owed Mr. Proddy from before.

Well, Beaver, all I know
is you owe me 75 cents.

You're supposed to get
your movie money tomorrow.

Now you're just going
to have to do without it.

But, gee, Dad, it's a real neat
picture, and all the guys are going.

Well, you say Larry
owes you 75 cents.

You'll just have to get the money
from him if you want to go to the movies.

- What if he doesn't have it?
- I can't help that, Beaver.

You're just going to have to learn
not to let people take advantage of you.

Yes, sir.

Good night, sir.
Good night, Mom.

Good night, Beaver.

Dear, maybe I'd better
call Larry's mother up

and see that he
does pay Beaver back.

Uh-uh. Beaver's
10 years old now,

and it's time your
mother-calling days were over.

Hey, did Dad hit you?

No. He just says that I've got
to get 75 cents back from Larry.

You'd have been better
off if he'd have hit you.

What do you mean, Wally? Larry's
my friend. He'll give me the money back.

Did he ever give you back that
Boy Scout knife he borrowed?

No, but he had a good excuse.

Yeah, and how about
your baseball cap?

Well, he had a good
excuse for that, too.

Sure.

You know what I'll
bet Larry's doing?

I'll bet he's over at his house
right now thinking up a good excuse

for not paying you the 75 cents.

Gee, Wally, a
guy kind of expects

his parents to make him feel
bad, but not his own brother.

I'm not trying to
make you feel bad.

I'm just telling you what a
creep you have for a friend.

Now, there you are, Larry.

75 cents.

Now, that's enough
for the movies

and for a soda afterwards.

But I'm not going
to the movies, Mom.

But I thought you've been
waiting all week to see that picture.

Yeah, I know, Mom,

but I'm going over to pay Beaver
back the 75 cents that I owe him.

Larry, you borrowed money?

I told you not to borrow money.

Now, why in the world do
you owe Beaver 75 cents?

Gee, Mom, this is Saturday.

Can't I have just
one day in the week

where I don't get hollered at?

Oh, all right.

But if your father was home,

he wouldn't care whether
it was Saturday or not!

Hello?

Hello, Beaver?

Just a minute, Larry,
and I'll get him for you.

Beaver, it's for you.

- Okay, Mom.
- It's Larry.

Thanks, Mom. Hello?

Hello, Beaver?
I've got the 75 cents,

and I'm coming right
over to pay you back.

So if you're going
anywhere, stay there.

Oh, sure, Larry.

Mom, Larry's coming over to pay me
my 75 cents so I can go to the movies!

- Fine.
- Dad!

Larry's coming over
to pay me my 75 cents

so I can go to the movies!

Great.

Larry's coming over
to pay me my 75 cents

so I can go to the movies!

Yeah, I'll believe it
when I see the dough.

♪ You always take

You're dead, Larry. Fall down.

I got my new pants on.
I'm not allowed to fall down.

Oh. Hey, you going to
the movies this afternoon?

No. I got to pay Beaver
back what I owe him

from borrowing
off him in school.

Then I won't have any money.

Boy, you're gonna
miss a neat movie.

It's all about this professor guy
who makes a mechanical man,

and it robs banks for
him and everything.

No foolin'?

It's got two television
cameras for eyes.

And later on it falls in love
with the professor's girlfriend

and starts killing
people all over the place.

Boy, oh, boy!

You can eat over
at my house for free,

and then we can
go to the picture.

Yeah? What are you having?

Hamburgers and pie.

Yeah, but I got to
pay Beaver back.

- What kind of pie?
- Apple, with ice cream.

Then after lunch, we
can see The Iron Fiend.

Yeah.

Yeah! Why should I let that
Beaver push me around?

Cleaver fades back!
He's back to the 10!

To the 5! He cocks
his arm and lets it go!

It's in the air! 65, 70!

Cleaver's under it! He pulls it
in, and it's a touchdown, Rams!

Yea, Cleaver!

Hey, what are you
doing, you little goof?

Well, I'm having
myself a football game.

Ahh!

Gee, Wally, when you were a kid,

didn't you ever
do stuff like that?

Sure, but not right out
here in the front yard

where everybody could see me.

Hey, Beav, if Larry
double-crossed you,

I'll loan you the money
to go to the movies.

He didn't double-cross me.

He's on his way over
to pay me the 75 cents.

Beaver, he was on his
way over here an hour ago.

Well, something
could've happened to him.

His mother might have
made him clean his room

or take a bath or
some other punishment.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure, Beaver.
He's your pal.

Boy, what a neat monster!

Hey, what's that
box he's sitting on?

That's the U.N. building.
Can't you see the windows?

Come on, you
guys. Let's get going.

What's the matter, Larry?

I don't know.

I guess it's my conscience.

It's kind of bothering
me about the Beaver.

All right, go ahead. Go
over to the Beaver's house

and pay him the 75 cents

and don't see the
monster crunch people up.

Well...

Well, I guess it doesn't
bother me that much.

Come on. Let's go.

Then after the picture, we
can come back here for sodas.

Thank you very
much, Mrs. Mondello.

I'll tell him to call you
as soon as he gets here.

Well, did you find out
what was keeping Larry?

No. His mother
said he left his house

a whole two hours
ago to come over here.

Well, I wonder what
could've happened to him.

Gee, Mom,

maybe a lion got loose from
the circus and ate him up.

I hardly think so.

Well,

then maybe he's got
some amnesia in his head,

and he's walking around,
and he doesn't know he's Larry.

Beaver, where do you
get such fantastic ideas?

Gee, Mom, you're always
telling me to read stuff.

- Hi.
- Hi, dear.

Where are your golf clubs?

Oh, I left them in the
locker room to be cleaned.

- You're having your
golf clubs cleaned?
- What's wrong with that?

The other day when I wanted
to have the windows cleaned,

you told me to wait
until after Christmas.

Yes, dear.

Well, maybe I should go down

and get Beaver at
the movies, huh?

He didn't go.

I thought Larry was coming
over with his 75 cents.

What made him change his mind?

Larry didn't show up, and
the Beaver sat around here

waiting for him all afternoon.

I would've given him
the money myself,

but I didn't think
you'd approve.

- Uh, where is he now?
- Upstairs.

- Dear?
- What?

You can have the
windows cleaned Monday.

Beaver? Hey, Beav!

I'm in here, Dad.

I was just looking
at some books.

Well, Beav,

I'm sorry about the way Larry
let you down this afternoon.

Oh, he didn't let me down.

He started over here with the money,
and something must've happened to him.

Yeah.

Well, I'm sure everything
will work out all right.

- Say, I wondered if you
could do me a big favor.
- Sure, Dad.

The paper hasn't come yet.

How about running down to
the drugstore and getting one?

- Okay.
- As long as you're there,

you might as well
get yourself a soda.

Thanks, Dad!

Say, Dad.

When Larry gets here,
tell him I'll be right back.

Yeah, sure, Beav.

Hey, how do they work it
when the mechanical monster

steps on a guy and
squooshes him?

They don't squoosh a real
guy. They squoosh a double.

They don't squoosh anybody.

They do it with
trick photographin'.

You gonna have
another soda, Larry?

No. I already spent
up the whole 75 cents.

Boy, that was the
neatest movie I ever saw.

It had two mad scientists.

Yeah, but one scientist

was only pretending he was mad.

Sure, but you didn't get
to know that till the end.

Boy, the part I liked was when

the monster reached up and
grabbed the rockets right out of the air.

That was the neatest...

thing I ever...

Uh, hi, Beaver.

Hi, Larry.

Well, uh, where
you been all day?

Waiting at my house
for you to show up.

I was coming over, Beaver,

but then I met
Gilbert and Whitey

and I had to go to the movies
with them, isn't that right, Whitey.

Search me.

Larry Mondello,
you come on outside.

What for, Beaver?

Because I'm gonna
sock you, that's what for.

You wouldn't sock a guy with a
stomach full of soda, would you?

I sure would!

Yeah.

Yeah, but don't forget,
there's three of us.

Uh-uh. I'm not fighting anybody.

Me, neither.

Come on, Larry.

I don't have to leave
here if I don't want to.

And if you start something,

you'll get in big trouble
with Mr. Peabody.

All right, Larry.

But now I know what you are.

You're a rat,
that's what you are.

And I'm never gonna speak
to you as long as you live

because you're such a big rat!

Okay, Beaver, okay.

How do you like that?

Beaver calling me a rat.

Yeah, but you know
something, Larry?

You are kind of a rat.

What's new on the
Larry-Beaver feud?

Well, Larry called three times.

And the first two, Beaver
managed to be too busy.

And the third time he said

he didn't know anyone
named Larry Mondello.

Beaver has his point this time.

Larry should've paid
that money back.

Dear, maybe I ought
to call Mrs. Mondello.

No, I don't think I
would if I were you.

You just leave the kids alone.
They'll work it out somehow.

But if the parents try
to arbitrate this thing,

they're liable to end
up enemies for life.

Well, at least I'm sure

Beaver doesn't have any real
malicious feelings about Larry.

Oh, no.

This ought to fix
him, huh, Wally.

Yeah, that's pretty good.

But drawing it isn't as
good as really doing it to him.

Well, I wouldn't
really do it to him,

but he deserves to
have it drawn on him.

What are you gonna do with this?

Well, I was gonna send
it to Larry to scare him,

but now I might save it till he's
married and send it to his wife.

Aw, you know you're not gonna
do any of that junk, don't you, Beav?

Yeah, but it's good
stuff to think about.

Because I didn't
get to punch him.

- Well, hello, Larry.
- How do you do, Mrs. Cleaver.

Won't you come in?

Well, hello, Larry.

How do you do, Mr. Cleaver.

I would like to see the
Beaver, if you please.

Oh, just a minute, Larry.

Beaver!

Well, that's a nice parakeet.
Does he talk, Larry?

Only to other birds.

Beaver!

Yes, Dad?

You have company.

Is it real company, or is
it that rat Larry Mondello?

Beaver, you come
right down here.

Well, my sister named it Eagle,

so it shouldn't be
scared of anything.

Oh. Well, isn't that clever.

- Well, Beaver, Larry's here.
- I know he's here.

Well, don't you want to take
him up in your room and play?

No.

Can I speak to you
alone in private, Beaver?

- What for?
- Now, Beaver,

Larry came all the way
over here to see you.

At least you can be nice
enough to talk to him.

Yes, sir, if you're
gonna make me.

Yes, well, outside, fellows.

There you go.

Ward, do you think you ought
to go out there with them?

June, please.

Hey, Larry,
what's all this junk?

Well, this is Eagle,

and in here are
all my good Annies,

my best army men,

and my empty CO2 cartridges,

and this is my Uncle Sam
bank that I can't get open.

How come you're
bringing that stuff over here.

I'm giving them to you on
account of I'm going away.

Where are you going? To
your grandmother's again?

Going to Africa.

Oh.

I'm going to Africa to join
the French Foreign Legion.

They don't let kids in the
French Foreign Legion.

Well, I'm not gonna
tell them I'm a kid.

I'm gonna go out in
the desert and get killed.

A lot of people that
were mean to me

and called me a rat
are gonna be sorry.

No foolin'? Did your mother
and father give you permission?

I'm not gonna ask them.

I'm sneaking away tonight

and shanghaiing
myself on a boat.

And when my mother and
father find out, they're gonna cry!

Your father's gonna cry?

Well, my mother
and sister might.

Well, so long, Larry.

Yeah, so long, Beaver.

You take good
care of all my stuff.

Sure.

You know something, Beaver?

What, Larry?

I wouldn't go and
get killed in the desert

if you promised to
be my friend again.

Yeah. Well, I guess I could.

Gee, that's neat, Beaver!

Could I have my stuff back now?

Sure. But how about my 75 cents?

Uh, yeah, sure.

My father said I
should give it to you.

- Thanks, Larry.
- That's okay.

Hey, you want to go over to
my house and mess around?

Yeah, I guess we could.
I'll go tell my mother.

Okay. I'll wait here so
no one can steal my junk.

Mom! Hey, Dad!

Mom!

Yes, Beaver?

Can I go over to Larry's
and mess around?

And could I stay for lunch?

Well, has Mrs.
Mondello asked you?

No, but I think Larry's
gonna make her.

Ward, he said he'd never speak
to Larry again for the rest of his life.

Well, dear, when you're
Beaver's age, the rest of your life

is seldom more than a few hours.

Then when Larry got
in the Foreign Legion,

he was gonna go right out in
the desert and get shot and die,

and everyone was gonna be sorry.

Aw, go on, Beav. You didn't
believe that junk, did you?

No, but I figured

he must like me a whole lot
to make up a story like that.

Boy.

- Hey, Wally,
what are you doing?
- Sit-ups.

What are they?

They're pushups, only
you do them sitting down.

Oh.

Hey, Beav?

Did you ever get
your 75 cents back?

Yeah, Larry paid it back.

Well, what are you gonna do
if he comes around next week

and asks you for a
whole couple of bucks?

Are you gonna give it to him?

No. I don't think

we've got enough friendship
for a whole 2 dollars.

We hardly had
enough for 75 cents.

Yeah.
