JUNE – “Who was on the phone, Beaver?”
BEAVER – “Larry Mondello, he’s coming to pick me up.”
WARD – “Now, Beaver, there’s not going to be any nonsense on the way to school this morning.”
BEAVER – “Gee, no Dad.”
JUNE – “Beaver, do Larry’s mother and father know what happened on the way to school yesterday?”
BEAVER – “Oh, sure Mom, they know what happened.”
WARD – “I hope he was smart enough to volunteer the information.”
BEAVER – “Yes sir, he volunteered.”
WARD – “As soon as he got home?”
BEAVER – “No sir, after his father started walloping him. Pass the bread, please.”
