Quotes 

• Eddie Haskell : When I was a little kid in kindergarten, we had a woman taking care of me, and she sent me to school with a home permanent.

  Wally Cleaver : Boy, Eddie. What happened?

  Eddie Haskell : Well, I told my father about it and he made a great big joke. You know somethin'? I don't think I've ever really told him anything since then.

  Wally Cleaver : Gee, Eddie, then how come you're always jumpin' on other guys, and makin' fun of them?

  Eddie Haskell : Look, Sam, if you can make the other guy feel like a goon first, then you don't feel like so much of a goon.

  Wally Cleaver : Ahhh, I don't get that.

  Eddie Haskell : Of course you don't. That's 'cause you never went to kindergarten with a home permanent.

  Wally Cleaver : [ruffling Eddie's hair]  You know somethin' Eddie? It's holdin' up real good.

• Wally Cleaver : Hey, Penny Woods, isn't that the girl in your class who's so creepy?

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah, but she doesn't seem so creepy since I found out she's got wheels!

• Theodore Cleaver : [rebuilding a coaster car]  You know somethin' Wally?

  Wally Cleaver : What's that, Beav.

  Theodore Cleaver : You look a lot better when you've got dirt on ya.

  Wally Cleaver : What are you drivin' at?

  Theodore Cleaver : Well, since you started gettin' grown up and hangin' around girls, well, you're so neat you're a mess.

  Wally Cleaver : Yeah. Well, foolin' around like this is still fun.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah. Too bad a guy can't stay a kid all his life.

  Wally Cleaver : Gee, Beaver, growin' up's rough on a guy. You gotta wait 'til you're an old man to act like a kid again.

  Theodore Cleaver : Yeah. Then you can go to parties and wear funny hats, like Mr Rutherford does.

  Wally Cleaver : Gee, Beav, I never want to get old enough to act like that.

• Wally Cleaver : Yeah, Dad. I thought it would be good practice if I worked on it. You know, for when I get a car of my own.

  Ward Cleaver : Wally, I told you I'd let you have a car someday, and I meant it. You don't have to keep hinting!

  Wally Cleaver : Well sure, Dad, but I just wanted to remind you that you said it and that you meant it, so that, when I get old enough to have a car, you won't say, 'Well, this is the first time I've heard of this.'
