Wally's new girlfriend has a reputation for being "loose" -- and rumors run rampant when Wally is seen babysitting and infant with the girl.


FADE IN:

EXT. - MALT SHOP - DAY

CUT TO:

INT. - BOOTH - DAY

Wally Cleaver and Sallie Martin sip ice cream sodas.

SALLIE: I'm sorry that I won't be able to watch you play touch football tomorrow, Wally. But I promised the Donaldsons that I would babysit their daughter while they attend a family wedding.

WALLY: That's okay, Sallie. We play every Saturday. You can watch a game some other time.

(A BEAT)

WALLY: The Donaldsons? Do they live on Maple Drive?

SALLIE: Why yes, they do. Do you know them?

WALLY: Sort of -- they were our neighbors when we lived on Maple Drive. I haven't seen them since we moved.

Sallie looks surprised.

SALLIE: It's certainly a small world. My mother joined the neighborhood bridge club a few weeks ago and met Mrs. Donaldson there.

Sallie sips her ice cream soda.

SALLIE: I have an idea, Wally. Why don't you stop by the Donaldsons after your game tomorrow. I'll be there all day, and you can help me babysit.

Before Wally can give Sallie an answer, Eddie Haskell strides into the malt shop and sits next to Wally.

EDDIE: Hey, Sam, you better take cover.

WALLY: What for?

EDDIE: Mary Ellen is heading this way.

WALLY: It's a free country, Eddie. Mary Ellen Rogers can come into the malt shop if she wants to.

Eddie beams at Sallie.

EDDIE: Sure she can, Wally. But when she sees you with this beautiful dove, you'll be wearing that soda. Heh, heh, heh.

CUT TO:

Mary Ellen Rogers and Julie Foster approach the counter and order two sodas. Julie surveys the shop and spots Wally Cleaver sitting at a booth with Eddie Haskell.

JULIE: Mary Ellen, it's your lucky day! Wally Cleaver is here!

MARY ELLEN: He's old hat, Julie.

JULIE: That's not what you said last night. You said that dumping Wally was the biggest mistake you ever made and that you wished you hadn't told him to date other girls.

Julie continues to watch Wally, and realizes that he is with Sallie.

JULIE: Uh-oh.

Mary Ellen picks up the two sodas and hands one to Julie.

MARY ELLEN: What's wrong, Julie?

Mary Ellen spots Sallie. Her eyes narrow.

MARY ELLEN: Julie, don't you think chocolated malted would look just peachy on the front of Sallie's cheerleader sweater.

Julie's eyes widen.

JULIE: Mary Ellen, you wouldn't! Would you?

MARY ELLEN: Oh, wouldn't I?

Mary Ellen and Julie walk toward an open booth, stopping in front of Eddie's and Wally's booth. They feign surprise at seeing them.

MARY ELLEN: Why, look Julie -- it's Eddie and Wally. What a surprise to see you here!

Eddie motions toward his booth.

EDDIE: Hey, Dolls! Why don't you join us -- we've got plenty of room.

MARY ELLEN: Thanks, Eddie.

Mary Ellen and Julie slide in next to Sallie. Mary Ellen dumps half of her soda down the front of Sallie's sweater.

MARY ELLEN: Oh! I'm so sorry! How clumsy of me! And all over your cheerleader uniform!

Sallie looks startled as she reaches for her napkin. Eddie and Julie snicker.

SALLIE: That's quite alright. It's washable.

Wally glares at Mary Ellen.

WALLY: You did that on purpose, Mary Ellen.

Mary Ellen feigns shock.

MARY ELLEN: Who--me? You know I'm not that kind of girl, Wally.

INT. - MALT SHOP - DAY

(CONTINUED)

WALLY: I've dated you for two years, Mary Ellen. I think I know what kind of girl you are, and I think you're jealous.

Mary Ellen glares at Wally.

MARY ELLEN: Jealous! Don't flatter yourself, Wally Cleaver! I can't help that you dumped me for Bleach Blonde Bimbo here.

SALLIE: Bimbo!

Mary Ellen looks askance at Sallie.

MARY ELLEN: If the reputation fits, wear it. And yours followed you from Belport. And I'll thank you to leave Wally off your list of conquests. He's mine.

Wally glares at Mary Ellen.

WALLY: I am not yours, Mary Ellen! You dumped me at last year's Holiday Dance, remember? You wanted to date that football player from State U.

EDDIE: That's true. I was there -- and it wasn't pretty.

MARY ELLEN: Butt out, Eddie!

WALLY: Mary Ellen! Control yourself!

Mary Ellen jumps up from her seat.

MARY ELLEN: I am under control! You're just impossible, Wally Cleaver! Let's go, Julie.

Mary Ellen and Julie leave in a huff.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER DINING ROOM - NIGHT

The Cleaver family -- Ward, June, Wally, and Beaver -- eat their dinner. Wally attacks his roast beef with anger.

WARD: Wally! The meat is already dead -- you don't need to attack it like that.

WALLY: Oh, I'm sorry Dad. Guess I have stuff on my mind.

WARD: Is there something bothering you, Son?

BEAVER: He's got girl trouble, Dad.

WALLY: Thanks alot, Beaver!

WARD: Girls in general or is there some special girl you're having trouble with, Wally?

BEAVER: Two girls, Dad.

JUNE: Beaver, please don't interrupt.

BEAVER: Sorry, Mom.

WARD: What two girls are you having trouble with, Wally?

Wally stares at his dinner plate and then at Ward.

WALLY: Sallie Martin -- the girl I've been tutoring in trigonometry --asked me to help her babysit tomorrow at the Donaldsons.

WARD: The Donaldsons? Our former neighbors?

JUNE: They had a girl, Ward.

WARD: Oh.

WALLY: So I told her I would -- help her I mean. Then Mary Ellen saw us and made a whole big thing about my seeing Sallie. Mary Ellen said that Sallie has a reputation as a ...

WARD: I think I get the picture, Wally. Sounds to me like Mary Ellen is having second thoughts about you, Wally.

WALLY: I figured that. But how can I tell her that I want to see Sallie?

June interrupts.

JUNE: Ward, Dear, will you join me in the kitchen and help me make the coffee?

Ward and June exit to the kitchen.

BEAVER: Uh oh, Wally. They're talking in the other room.

WALLY: Yeah. Hey, Beav -- do yourself a favor when you get into high school next year.

BEAVER: What's that?

WALLY: Don't get mixed up with girls.

BEAVER: Don't worry!

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - KITCHEN - NIGHT

Ward follows June into the kitchen. June yanks a cupboard door open and reaches for a coffee can. She opens the can and shakes the coffee scooper at Ward.

JUNE: Ward, you're just going to have to talk to Wally. I have an idea that he really likes this girl.

WARD: I'd love to oblige, June, but I gave that talk to Wally when he was twelve years old. And as I remember, Wally was more interested in playing baseball than hanging around girls at the time.

June plugs the coffee machine into an outlet.

JUNE: Oh, to go back to those days! I've seen the way Wally looks at Sallie -- and the way she looks at him -- when they study at the dining room table. Believe me, Ward, Wally's got more than trigonometry on his mind!

WARD: He wouldn't be my son if he was only interested in a girl as a study partner.

June stares at Ward.

JUNE: Ward, you're not helping. I suppose you think I'm being foolish about Wally babysitting with Sallie tomorrow.

Ward reaches into a cupboard for two coffee cups.

WARD: Not foolish. Overprotective. Wally's eighteen years old now -- old enough to decide what girls he wants to date.

June pours coffee into the cups.

JUNE: I know, Ward. I just don't want Wally getting any grand ideas about marriage and babies when he still has college ahead of him.

Ward laughs.

WARD: I don't think that will happen, and if it does, we'll remind Wally about the Hendersons.

June hands Ward his cup of coffee.

JUNE: Just keep in mind that the Hendersons didn't have a five-month old baby to take care of.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. - METZGER'S FIELD - DAY

THE NEXT MORNING

Wally, Eddie, and Lumpy shake Tom Henderson's hand after winning the flag football game.

TOM: Great game, guys. I'm sure going to miss you when you're all up at State U in the fall.

EDDIE: We'll get home on a few weekends to beat the pants off you, Tom. Heh, heh, heh.

Wally rolls his eyes.

WALLY: Eddie! We won on a fluke play.

EDDIE: Yeah. Lump tripped and fell into the end zone!

LUMPY: I do what I can.

Judy Henderson arrives and waves at Tom.

TOM: Gotta go. There's Judy.

Tom leaves and Eddie shakes his head as he surveys the bleachers.

EDDIE: Great ball player. Too bad he's tied down to a ball and chain.

(A BEAT)

EDDIE: Speaking of ball and chains, Wally -- isn't that Sallie over there with a baby carriage?

Wally looks over at the bleachers. He smiles.

WALLY: Yeah, it is.

EDDIE: I thought you said she was babysitting today and couldn't make the game.

WALLY: That's what she told me.

Wally dashes toward the bleachers. Eddie grabs him.

EDDIE: Hold it, Sam. You're getting in way over your head.

Wally's eyes narrow.

WALLY: What's that supposed to mean, Eddie?

EDDIE: While you're babysitting today, get all the practice you can. You're going to need it.

Wally shirks away from Eddie.

WALLY: Cut it out, Eddie. You and Mary Ellen have something in common -- you're both jealous.

Wally dashes toward the bleachers. Eddie shakes his head.

EDDIE: I'm not jealous.

LUMPY: Sure you are, Eddie. Sallie turned you down flat when you asked her out. Guess she only has eyes for Wally Cleaver.

EDDIE: And about five guys in Bellport.

Eddie starts to leave.

EDDIE: C'mon Lump. We gotta clue Wally in about his new girl.

EXT. - METZGER'S FIELD - DAY

Wally greets Sallie with a kiss.

WALLY: This is a pleasant surprise!

Sallie returns his kiss, indicating the baby carriage.

SALLIE: Not in front of our little charge, Wally. The Donaldson's let me take Christa for a walk because she was so fussy, so I'm supposed to be on my best behavior.

Wally peers into the baby carriage.

WALLY: Seems to have worked. She's sound asleep.

Eddie and Lumpy walk by. Eddie shakes his head dejectedly.

SALLIE: He looks like he just lost his best friend.

WALLY: Maybe he has.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER FOYER - DAY

FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER

The doorbell rings and June Cleaver answers to the door.

EDDIE: Good afternoon, Mrs. Cleaver. I wonder if I might talk to Wally.

June steps out of the way and lets Eddie in the house.

JUNE: He's up in his room, Eddie.

EDDIE: Thank you.

Eddie walks up the stairs as Ward peeks in from the living room.

WARD: That boy looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders.

JUNE: Yes. What do you suppose he's up to?

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - BOYS BEDROOM - DAY

Wally enters the room from the bathroom, towel-drying his hair. He reaches into the closet for a pair of pants as Eddie walks in to the room.

EDDIE: Wally, I've got to talk to you.

WALLY: Eddie, if it's about Sallie, I don't want to hear it. You're jealous.

EDDIE: I am not jealous. I just know something about Sallie that you don't.

BEAVER: Oh, yeah? What's that Eddie?

Eddie glances over at Beaver.

EDDIE: You little squirt! Where'd you come from?

BEAVER: I've been sitting at this desk the whole time, Eddie. I've got an English composition to write.

Beaver holds up a notebook for emphasis.

Wally walks across the room and opens a bureau drawer. He pulls out a button-down shirt.

WALLY: Look, Eddie -- I promised Sallie that I'd help her babysit today. You got something to say, then say it.

EDDIE: Well, I can't now -- not with your little brother in the room.

WALLY: Quit stalling, Eddie. Beaver's not so little any more -- he's going to be a freshman in high school in the fall. I don't think there's that much you can say that'll shock Beaver.

BEAVER: That's right, Eddie. I'm getting to be pretty much of a man around here.

Eddie regards Beaver dubiously.

EDDIE: Oh, all right. Wally, there's a rumour around school that Sallie is -- well -- in the family way, and -- er -- you're responsible.

Beaver's eyes widen.

BEAVER: Holy cow, Wally! Mom and Dad are going to flip when they hear this!

Wally finishes buttoning his shirt and slips a sweater over his head.

WALLY: It's a lie, Beav. Who put you up to this, Eddie -- Mary Ellen? I never figured her to be that spiteful. But after that display at the malt shop yesterday, well...

EDDIE: Nobody put me up to this, Wally. I'm trying to do you a favor here.

Wally glares at Eddie.

WALLY: The only favor you can do for me, Eddie, is tell Mary Ellen that her plan didn't work. When we broke up last Christmas, we broke up for good!

Wally storms out of the bedroom, leaving Eddie and Beaver staring at each other in bewilderment.

EDDIE: I guess I told him, huh?

BEAVER: Oh, yeah. I could tell that by the way he ran out of here.

EDDIE: He was pretty mad, huh?

Beaver stares at Eddie.

BEAVER: You don't suppose Wally's going to elope with Sallie, do you?

Eddie's face registers shock.

EDDIE: Elope!

BEAVER: Sure. You practically told him he was responsible for Sallie's ... er ... condition. A real man would take responsibility for his actions.

EDDIE: That's the last thing I want him to do!

BEAVER: You, me, Mom and Dad.

Beaver jumps up from behind his desk and races toward the bedroom door.

BEAVER: C'mon. We gotta stop Wally.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - DONALDSON KITCHEN - DAY

A HALF HOUR LATER

Five-month old Christabel Donaldson sits in her high chair as Wally attempts to feed her applesauce. Christa grins as most of the applesauce dribbles down her chin.

WALLY: I think I'm fighting a losing battle here, Sallie.

Sallie laughs.

SALLIE: Oh, I don't think so. I think Christa is having fun with you.

Sallie turns her attention to the infant.

SALLIE: Isn't that right, Christa?

Christa grins at Sallie as Sallie wipes Christa's face with her bib. Wally lifts Christa from her high chair.

WALLY: Come on, Sweetheart. Why don't we go play with your rattles and dollies while Sallie cleans up in here?

Sallie watches how adeptly Wally handles Christa.

SALLIE: Careful, Wally, You're starting to sound like a real father.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - DONALDSON LIVING ROOM - DAY

Wally sits on a couch and gently cradles a sleeping Christa in his arms as Sallie enters the room from the kitchen.

SALLIE: How about a game of patty-cake, Christa?

Wally holds his finger up to his lips.

WALLY: Shh...she just fell asleep.

SALLIE: Oh.

Wally gets up from the couch and places Christa in her playpen. Sallie curls up on the couch, admiring how well Wally handles Christa.

SALLIE: You really are going to make a great father some day, Wally. You're so at ease with Christa.

Wally rejoins Sallie on the couch.

WALLY: It's nothing, really. I did some babysitting during my freshman and sophomore years of high school.

Sallie starts to cry.

SALLIE: Wally, there's something I need to tell you.

Wally looks worried.

WALLY: You mean about those rumors at school? Are you...?

Sallie nods her head.

SALLIE: Three-and-a-half months.

Wally's eyes widen.

WALLY: Wow, Sallie! Wow! Eddie was right!

(A BEAT)

WALLY: We've only been dating for two months, Sallie. I can't be responsible then. Why would Eddie tell me I was responsible?

SALLIE: Because I told him to. When I realized that my secret was all over school, I just told Eddie that you and I were doing more than studying trigonometry.

Wally looks incredulous.

WALLY: Holy cow, Sallie! Why did you go and tell a crazy story like that?

SALLIE: Because I love you, Wally.

WALLY: You love me?

Sallie runs her hand along Wally's arm.

SALLIE: I fell in love with you on the very first night we studied together. Let's get married, Wally. You can be the father of my baby. You'll make a much better father than Jake anyway.

Wally gets up from the couch and paces the floor.

WALLY: I gotta think about this, Sallie. I'm starting college in the fall, you know.

(A BEAT)

WALLY: Who's Jake?

SALLIE: A boy I dated up in Bellport. The boy that's responsible for my condition.

WALLY: Oh. Does Jake know about the baby?

Sallie stares at Wally incredulously.

SALLIE: Heavens, no! We broke up shortly before my family moved here. I never want to see him again.

The doorbell rings and awakens Christa.

SALLIE: I'll get Christa and you get the doorbell.

Wally opens the front door and Beaver grins at him.

WALLY: Beaver! Don't tell me you and Gilbert and Larry decided to take a walk through the old neighborhood.

BEAVER: No. I came over with Eddie -- he's hiding in his car -- to stop you from doing something rash, like eloping.

WALLY: Eloping! Have you lost your mind? Why would I want to elope?

Sallie joins Wally at the door, holding Christa.

SALLIE: Who's at the door?

Wally looks disgusted.

WALLY: Just my kid brother, checking up on me.

INT. - DONALDSON LIVING ROOM - DAY

Wally stands at the front door as Sallie heads upstairs with Christa.

SALLIE: Christa needs changing, Wally. Are you going to join me?

Wally waves at her.

WALLY: In a minute, Sallie.

Sallie exits the room and Wally grabs his jacket from a living room chair. He hastily puts it on.

WALLY: Let's go, Beav.

Beaver stares at him, his jaw nearly dropping on the ground.

BEAVER: Gee, Wally -- you're just going to leave?

Wally closes the door behind him and he follows Beaver to Eddie's car.

WALLY: You bet! I just saw my future flash in front of my eyes -- and it had nothing to do with going to college.

They approach Eddie's car.

EDDIE: Man, Sam -- you should see your face! You're pale as a ghost. Good thing I came here to rescue you.

WALLY: Rescue me! Cut it out, Eddie -- my car is sitting in the driveway. I'm going over to Mary Ellens'.

EDDIE: Mary Ellen!

WALLY: That's right -- I owe her an apology. (To Beaver) You coming, Beaver?

Beaver shakes his head.

BEAVER: No, thanks. I'll let Eddie drive me home.

Wally shrugs as he gets into his car and drives away. Beaver gets into Eddie's car.

BEAVER: Well, that's that.

Eddie grins mischeviously as he starts his car.

EDDIE: Not quite.

BEAVER: What do you mean, Eddie?

EDDIE: I mean, how would you like to spy on Wally while he's at Mary Ellens' house?

BEAVER: That doesn't sound like much fun, Eddie.

EDDIE: Not fun! Surely you jest! I've heard through the grapevine that Mary Ellen's new beau is in town, and I want to be in the front row when he and Wally meet!

Beaver makes a face.

BEAVER: It still sounds a little boring to me, Eddie.

EDDIE: It'll be a blast! I'm even going to swing by Lumpy's so he can enjoy the show too!

EXT. - MARY ELLEN ROGERS' HOUSE - DAY

Wally Cleaver stands on the front porch and rings the doorbell. He is taken aback when a tall, blond-haired man around twenty years old answers the door.

WALLY: Um, hi. Is Mary Ellen Rogers in?

MAN: Sure. She's here. Whom should I say is calling?

WALLY: Wally Cleaver.

The man smiles knowingly as he disappears behind the door.

MAN (muffled voice): Mary Ellen, are you in for Wally Cleaver?

MARY ELLEN (muffled voice): Wally! What does he want, Joe?

MAN (muffled voice): I don't know -- he's your ex. Why don't you ask him? He's standing on the porch.

Mary Ellen appears at the door and welcomes Wally.

MARY ELLEN: It's nice to see you, Wally. Please, come in.


DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. - STREET IN FRONT OF THE ROGERS' HOUSE

Eddie parks his car as Lumpy pulls out his binoculars and focuses on the front porch of the Rogers' house. Beaver sits in the back seat, looking annoyed.

EDDIE: See anything, Lumpy?

LUMPY: No. They must be inside.

Lumpy focuses on the living room window.

LUMPY: A bush is in the way. Hold it.

Lumpy readjusts his binoculars.

LUMPY: There they are! Oh, Man -- Wally and Mary Ellen are really going at it!

Eddie nearly chokes Lumpy when he grabs his binoculars from around Lumpy's neck.

EDDIE: Let me see!

EDDIE: Aw, they're just having an argument. I thought they were making out.

BEAVER: Eddie, you have a dirty mind.

EDDIE: Pipe down, Squirt.

LUMPY: Yeah, Kid. You're only along 'cause Wally's your brother.

Lumpy looks through his binoculars again.

LUMPY: Hey, some blond guy just entered the living room.

EDDIE: That would be Mary Ellen's new beau -- Joe somebody or other.

LUMPY: All three of them are standing around and talking!


DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - THE ROGERS' LIVING ROOM - DAY

Joe Marshall enters the living room, munching on a chocolate chip cookie.

JOE: Mary Ellen, we have an early dinner reservation at the White Fox.

WALLY: The White Fox? That's a pretty ritzy place. I took Julie Foster there once.

MARY ELLEN: Yes, I know Wally. Julie's never stopped talking about it.

Mary Ellen smiles nervously at Joe.

MARY ELLEN: Wally, this is Joe Marshall. He's the quarterback at State U.

WALLY: We've met.

JOE: Mary Ellen tells me that you're going to State U in the fall.

WALLY: That's right.

JOE: Good choice.

WALLY: I think so.

Joe looks at his watch.

JOE: Our dinner reservations, Mary Ellen.

MARY ELLEN: Joe, Wally and I are having a conversation. A private conversation.

JOE: It sounded more like an argument from the kitchen.

MARY ELLEN: Joe...

JOE: Okay! Okay! I'll be in the kitchen.

Joe exits the living room.

MARY ELLEN: I'm sorry, Wally. My behavior yesterday was apalling, and I shouldn't have treated Sallie so shabbily. It's obvious that you really like her.

WALLY: I do like her, Mary Ellen. It's just that, well, you and Eddie were right about her. She's, um, 'with child' and I'm just not ready to take that responsibility.

MARY ELLEN: Wally, are you responsible for Sallie's condition?

Wally shakes his head.

WALLY: A guy named Jake is.

MARY ELLEN: Then it sounds like Sallie needs to talk to Jake.

WALLY: That's what I think, too.

Joe enters the room again.

JOE: Mary Ellen, we really need to go.

WALLY: I won't keep you, Mary Ellen. I know what I've got to do now.

Mary Ellen kisses Wally on the cheek.

MARY ELLEN: Good luck.

EDDIE: Let me see!

EDDIE: Aw, they're just having an argument. I thought they were making out.

BEAVER: Eddie, you have a dirty mind.

EDDIE: Pipe down, Squirt.

LUMPY: Yeah, Kid. You're only along 'cause Wally's your brother.

Lumpy looks through his binoculars again.

LUMPY: Hey, some blond guy just entered the living room.

EDDIE: That would be Mary Ellen's new beau -- Joe somebody or other.

LUMPY: All three of them are standing around and talking!


DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - THE ROGERS' LIVING ROOM - DAY

Joe Marshall enters the living room, munching on a chocolate chip cookie.

JOE: Mary Ellen, we have an early dinner reservation at the White Fox.

WALLY: The White Fox? That's a pretty ritzy place. I took Julie Foster there once.

MARY ELLEN: Yes, I know Wally. Julie's never stopped talking about it.

Mary Ellen smiles nervously at Joe.

MARY ELLEN: Wally, this is Joe Marshall. He's the quarterback at State U.

WALLY: We've met.

JOE: Mary Ellen tells me that you're going to State U in the fall.

WALLY: That's right.

JOE: Good choice.

WALLY: I think so.

Joe looks at his watch.

JOE: Our dinner reservations, Mary Ellen.

MARY ELLEN: Joe, Wally and I are having a conversation. A private conversation.

JOE: It sounded more like an argument from the kitchen.

MARY ELLEN: Joe...

JOE: Okay! Okay! I'll be in the kitchen.

Joe exits the living room.

MARY ELLEN: I'm sorry, Wally. My behavior yesterday was apalling, and I shouldn't have treated Sallie so shabbily. It's obvious that you really like her.

WALLY: I do like her, Mary Ellen. It's just that, well, you and Eddie were right about her. She's, um, 'with child' and I'm just not ready to take that responsibility.

MARY ELLEN: Wally, are you responsible for Sallie's condition?

Wally shakes his head.

WALLY: A guy named Jake is.

MARY ELLEN: Then it sounds like Sallie needs to talk to Jake.

WALLY: That's what I think, too.

Joe enters the room again.

JOE: Mary Ellen, we really need to go.

WALLY: I won't keep you, Mary Ellen. I know what I've got to do now.

Mary Ellen kisses Wally on the cheek.

MARY ELLEN: Good luck.

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. - STREET IN FRONT OF THE ROGERS' HOUSE - DAY

Eddie, Lumpy and Beaver sit in Eddie's car and watch Wally come out of Mary Ellen's house and get into his own car. Wally starts the engine and backs out of the driveway. Eddie follows him.

LUMPY: This is fun, Eddie! I feel like Joe Friday following a perp on "Dragnet"!

Eddie and Beaver burst out laughing.

EDDIE: You're not suave enough to be a detective, Lumpy.

BEAVER: Yeah. You're not as cool as Jeff Spencer on "77 Sunset Strip."

EDDIE: And definitely not as cool as Buz Murdock on "Route 66."

LUMPY: Okay! Okay! Just keep your eye on the road, Eddie. Wally just made a right turn.

EDDIE: I see! I see!

Eddie makes a right turn and continues to follow Wally.

LUMPY: Where do you think Wally's going, Eddie?

EDDIE: If my hunch is right -- and I know it is -- over to the Donaldson's to ask his girl to marry him.

Lumpy's eyes widen.

LUMPY: Marry her!

Wally pulls into the Donaldson's driveway and exits his car.

BEAVER: Eddie, you know Wally's not planning on eloping.

Eddie pulls his car into a parking space outside the Donaldson home. Lumpy pulls his binoculars out.

LUMPY: Well, there goes our boy into the Donaldson's house now.


DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - DONALDSON LIVING ROOM - DAY

Wally sits down on the couch as Sallie puts Christa in her playpen.

SALLIE: It was very rude of you to just take off like that, Wally.

Sallie sits next to Wally on the couch.

SALLIE: I'm surprised you came back.

WALLY: I almost didn't -- come back, that is. You gave me a lot to think about, Sallie.

SALLIE: And what did you decide?

WALLY: I can't marry you, Sallie. Thanks for asking, though. But I'm going to college in the fall.

SALLIE: You can be married and still go to college.

WALLY: But I'm not the baby's...what I mean is you should tell Jake.

Sallie groans.

SALLIE: I can't tell Jake. I can't even tell my parents.

Wally stares at Sally incredulously.

WALLY: Holy cow, Sallie! You mean you haven't even told your parents?

Sallie starts to cry.

SALLIE: No. You know what they're like, Wally -- always yelling at each other. And when they're not yelling at each other, they're social climbing. This will kill them.

Wally hugs and kisses Sallie.

WALLY: Don't cry, Sallie. It will all work out.

SALLIE: How can you be so sure?

WALLY: Well, I can't. Would it help if you talked to my mom?

Sallie's face brightens.

SALLIE: You would do that for me, Wally?

WALLY: Sure. My mom's raised two boys, but she could probably give you some good advice.

Wally looks at his watch.

WALLY: You have about four more hours until the Donaldson's are due home. Why don't you come to dinner?

Sallie hugs Wally.

SALLIE: Thank you. I really thought you were going to abandon me.

Wally grins.

WALLY: No. I like you too much to do that.


DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. - STREET OUTSIDE THE DONALDSON'S HOUSE - DAY

Lumpy continues to look through his binoculars.

LUMPY: Gee, Eddie -- Wally's been in there a long time. Think we ought to investigate?

EDDIE: You're really into this detective thing, aren't you?

BEAVER: Well it would be better than just sitting in your car, Eddie. Frankly, I'm getting bored.

Lumpy puts his binoculars down.

LUMPY: Yeah, Eddie. The kid's got a point.

Eddie looks dubious.

EDDIE: Okay. Let's go.

EXT. - THE FRONT OF THE DONALDSON'S HOUSE - DAY

Eddie, Lumpy and Beaver sneak along in front of the living room window. Lumpy pops his head up and peaks in the window.

LUMPY: They sure are getting cozy on that couch!

Eddie grabs Lumpy and pulls him down.

EDDIE: Get down! You want them to see you?

LUMPY: Well, no, Eddie. But how are we going to keep an eye on Wally and Sallie?

BEAVER: You have a plan, Eddie? I mean, before the neighbors think we're criminals trying to break into the place.

EDDIE: Of course I do, Squirt.

Eddie gathers Lumpy and Beaver around him.

EDDIE: Here's what we're going to do...


DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - LIVING ROOM OF THE DONALDSON HOUSE

Sallie jumps up from the couch when she sees a face staring in at her from outside of the living room window.

SALLIE: Wally! There's somebody out there!

Wally turns and looks out of the window. He doesn't see anyone.

WALLY: What are you talking about, Sallie? There's no one there.

Sallie remains insistent as she points to the living room window.

SALLIE: I'm telling you, Wally. I saw somebody looking in at us from that window.

Sallie races to the phone.

SALLIE: It's probably robbers. I'm going to call the police.

Wally chases after her.

WALLY: Hold it, Sallie. You probably imagined the whole thing.

Sallie stares at Wally.

SALLIE: What's that supposed to mean?

WALLY: With your, um, 'condition,' you probably imagined it.

Sallie picks up the telephone.

SALLIE: I saw somebody out there and I'm going to have the police investigate. After all, I'm responsible for little Christa.

Wally walks by the living room window as Lumpy pops his head up and stares at Wally with his binoculars.

WALLY: Lumpy!

Wally races to the front door and opens it. He runs out into the yard and approaches Lumpy who is crawling along the ground underneath the living room window.

WALLY: Practicing military maneuvers, Lumpy?

Lumpy looks up at Wally.

LUMPY: Hiya, Wally. I'm the lookout.

WALLY: The lookout! The lookout for what -- your 'fellow soldiers' Eddie and Beaver? Where are they?

Sallie runs outside.

SALLIE: What's going on out here?

WALLY: Meet your robbers, Sallie. Lumpy, Eddie, and the Beav.

Eddie steps out from behind a bush, looking sheepish.

EDDIE: Hey, Wally.

WALLY: Where's Beav?

Beaver waves at Wally from a tree.

BEAVER: I'm up here, Wally.

WALLY: What are you doing up there?

BEAVER: Making sure you don't elope.

Wally looks exasperated.

WALLY: I told you before -- I'm not eloping. Now, get down from there and come with me.

BEAVER: Where are we going?

WALLY: Home. I invited Sallie for dinner tonight.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER FOYER - NIGHT

Wally and Sallie enter the house and June greets them.

WALLY: Hi, Mom. You know Sallie.

JUNE: Why, yes. It's a pleasure to see you again Sallie.

June extends her hand in greeting.

SALLIE: It's a pleasure to see you too, Mrs. Cleaver.

Beaver noisily races down the stairs. June looks horrified.

JUNE: Beaver!

BEAVER: Sorry, Mom. I didn't want to be late.

WALLY: You know my brother, Beaver.

BEAVER: Theodore. Hello, Sallie.

SALLIE: Yes. Nice to see you again, Beav -- I mean Theodore. The last time I saw you you were sitting in a tree at the Donaldson's.

June looks bewildered.

JUNE: What?!?

WALLY: I'll explain it to you later, Mom.

Ward opens the den door.

WARD: What's going on out here? It sounded like a herd of elephants on those stairs.

WALLY: That was Beaver making a grand entrance, Dad.

WARD: Oh.

JUNE: Ward, Dear, we have company. Sallie is coming to dinner tonight.

Ward smiles at Sallie.

WARD: Come to think of it, I did see an extra place setting at the dining room table. It's nice to see you again, Sallie.

SALLIE: It's nice to see you again, Mr. Cleaver.

JUNE: Dinner is almost ready. We're having pot roast. Wally tells me you like pot roast, Sallie.

SALLIE: Oh, I do. Very much.

WARD: Well, why don't we go into the living room and have a nice chat while Mrs. Cleaver finishes getting dinner ready?

SALLIE: Are you sure I can't help, Mrs. Cleaver?

JUNE: No, everything is under control.

June pulls Ward aside as Wally, Sallie and Beaver go into the living room.

JUNE: Dear, I'm having a chat with Sallie after dinner while you and the boys do the dishes. Wally asked me this afternoon if I would talk to her. He indicated that Sallie needed to talk to someone of the female persuasion.

WARD: I know, Dear. Wally told me too. But aren't you the least bit curious about what she wants to talk about?

JUNE: I have to admit that I'm a little nervous -- after all I've raised two boys, so I'm a little rusty on girls' problems.

WARD: June, I have every confidence in you that you'll handle whatever it is with your usual coolness and understanding.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER DINING ROOM - NIGHT

The Cleavers and Sallie eat June's pot roast quietly. June notices that Sallie, unlike Wally and Beaver, is picking at her meat.

JUNE: Is everything okay, Sallie?

Sallie nods her head as she chokes back tears.

SALLIE: The meal is wonderful, Mrs. Cleaver. I'm afraid my stomach is a little upset.

JUNE: Oh, my! Is it a touch of the flu?

Beaver laughs out loud and Ward glares at him.

WARD: Do you find Sallie's being ill funny, Beaver?

BEAVER: No, Sir. But she's not sick. She's...

Wally glares at Beaver and kicks him under the table.

BEAVER: Ow! Why did you go and do that, Wally?

WALLY: Because you have a big mouth, Beaver.

BEAVER: I do not! Why don't you just tell the truth about Sallie.

WALLY: Because it's not my place to, that's all.

WARD: Boys! That's enough! Sallie is our guest this evening, and you two are going to behave if it kills you.

Sallie sobs.

SALLIE: Oh, Wally! Go ahead and tell your parents. I can't keep it to myself anymore.

WALLY: Are you sure, Sallie?

Sallie nods her head.

SALLIE: Just tell them.

Wally lets out a sigh as he glances at his parents.

WALLY: Mom, Dad...Sallie doesn't have the flu. She's going to have a baby.

June pales.

JUNE: Good heavens! Is this what you wanted to talk to me about, Sallie?

SALLIE: Yes, Mrs. Cleaver. I'm too afraid to tell my parents and Wally thought you could give me some advice.

June smiles appreciatively as she gets up from the dinner table and comforts Sallie.

JUNE: Why don't you and I go into the kitchen and talk.

Wally gets up from the table as June and Sallie exit to the kitchen.

WARD: Wally, you stay here.

Wally sits back down and looks at Ward's disapproving stare.

WALLY: Yes, Sir.

WARD: Wally, I don't know when I've been more disappointed with you.

BEAVER: Sure you know, Dad. Remember that time that Wally got kicked off the track team for throwing towels in the locker room?

Ward stares at Beaver angrily.

WARD: Beaver! I'm talking to your brother.

BEAVER: Yes, Sir.

Ward continues to glare at Wally.

WARD: You've gone and gotten this girl in the family way, Wally. What are planning to do about it?

WALLY: But, Dad, I didn't! Sallie already was that way when I met her.

WARD: Son, it's one thing to accept responsibility for your actions. But to insinuate that this girl was already...

Beaver interrupts.

BEAVER: It's true, Dad.

WARD: Beaver, what do you know about this?

BEAVER: Only what Eddie said about a rumor at school.

WARD: Eddie! Now I am confused.

WALLY: There's a rumor going around at school about Sallie and her, um, 'condition,' and that I'm responsible. But I'm not. In fact, Sallie just told me today that she's having a baby.

Ward looks greatly relieved.

WARD: I'm sorry, Wally. I really thought...well, I'm just glad to know that you aren't responsible for Sallie's 'condition.'

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER KITCHEN - NIGHT

June and Sallie talk at the kitchen table.

SALLIE: And that's the truth, Mrs. Cleaver. Jake Trask, my old boyfriend, is responsible for my 'condition.' We broke up before I moved to Mayfield.

Sallie wipes her eyes with a kleenex.

SALLIE: Wally's just a friend who got caught in some vicious rumors at school.

JUNE: I'm glad to know that you think of Wally as a friend. But I think it would be best if you told your parents, Sallie.

SALLIE: I know, Mrs. Cleaver. But they aren't as understanding as you and Mr. Cleaver.

JUNE: Wally will go along with you to help you break the news to them.

SALLIE: Thank you, Mrs. Cleaver.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CLEAVER LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

LATER THAT EVENING

Ward and June sit on the couch as Wally returns from taking Sallie home.

WARD: Is that you, Wally?

Wally enters the living room.

WALLY: Yes, Dad.

JUNE: How did Sallie's parents take her news?

Wally shrugs.

WALLY: Her mom cried and her father looked at me accusingly at first. But at least they know.

JUNE: Did Sallie tell them about Jake?

WALLY: Funny thing about that. Her parents figured it was him right away.

(A BEAT)

WALLY: Mom, I'm sorry that dinner turned out to be such a mess tonight.

JUNE: It didn't turn out to be such a mess, Wally. I had a lovely talk with your girlfriend. Sallie's a very sweet girl, and I hope you continue to be her friend.

Wally looks dumbfounded.

WALLY: Really?

WARD: Sure, Son.

WALLY: Well, goodnight.

Wally exits the room and goes upstairs to his bedroom.


DISSOLVE TO:

INT. BOYS' BEDROOM - NIGHT

Wally quietly enters the room as Beaver switches his bedside lamp on.

BEAVER: Hey, Wally. What did Mom and Dad say when you got back from Sallie's?

Wally sits on the edge of his bed.

WALLY: To be her friend.

Beaver grins.

BEAVER: I don't think you'll have a problem with that! I can tell you really like Sallie.

(A BEAT)

BEAVER: Are you mad at me for spilling the beans about Sallie at dinner tonight?

Wally smiles.

WALLY: At first I was. But after I thought about it, I was kind of glad.

(A BEAT)

WALLY: Hey, Beav -- what were you doing with Eddie and Lumpy at the Donaldson's today?

BEAVER: Eddie had some crazy idea that you were going to elope with Sallie. I was just humoring him.

Wally looks at Beaver with disbelief as he tosses a pillow at him.

WALLY: Yeah, right.

FADE OUT.
