- The Beaver: Hey, Mom? How come when I was a little kid you guys started calling me "Beaver"?
- June Cleaver: Well, that started because Wally couldn't pronounce "Theodore".
- The Beaver: But, why "Beaver"?
- Ward Cleaver: Well, "Theodore" came out as "Tweeter", and, uh, we thought "Beaver" was a little better.
- Wally Cleaver: Gee, I'm sorry, Beav! I didn't know what I was saying!
- The Beaver: [looking through Larry's sister's makeup table] Boy, it sure is a lot of trouble being a girl.
- Larry Mondello: It is when you look like my sister!
