  Wallace 'Wally' Cleaver : [referring to Gilbert's dog]  Hey, Beaver, Archie really went home, huh?

  Theodore 'Beaver' Cleaver : Sure, I told him, and he went. You know, it's a lot easier talking to dogs than it is to cats.

  Ward Cleaver : Cats are very smart, though, Beaver. It's just that when you call someone Bootsy-Wootsy, he's inclined to be a little difficult.

• June Cleaver : I wish Beaver had told us where he was going this morning. We ought to make that a rule around here, so we don't worry.

  Ward Cleaver : Oh, sometimes I think if we really knew where they were going, we'd worry more.

• June Cleaver : Did you bring home strange animals when you were their age?

  Ward Cleaver : Oh, sure. Bringing home animals is just a part of being a boy, I guess. Kids don't seem to do it, though, as much today as we used to.

  June Cleaver : Why do you suppose that is?

  Ward Cleaver : I don't know. I guess they don't need to talk to animals as much. Nowadays, they have psychiatrists.
