over there you were afraid to stand up

to your father just like you've always

been that's not true

when he told me to buy a blue Mercedes I

bought a red one instead yeah when he

was out of town look it was the same

thing when you were 15 years old and he

made you take tuba lessons you never did

tell him how much you hated it you know

you just can't talk to my dad the way

you could talk to yours will you look at

yourself alone he's got you so afraid

you can't even admit the truth

[Music]

hey your brights where some people are

so inconsiderate

triple scoop of sprinkles just the way

[Music]

hey babe your rejoining the ranks of the

working class are you still a burden on

society I'm still between jobs if that's

what you mean Eddie then kiss the ring

of the man who's gonna make life worth

living again shouldn't you be out

bribing a building inspector or

something I take care of them at

Christmas but I got big plans for you

beef I want you to head up a new

division of household construction I

want you to be my new corporate spy I

don't even like James Bond movies no

sweat are you gonna do a show up wearing

a hard hat and then squeal like a pig if

you see any of my employees ripping me

off

I don't even dignify that offer with a

response

think about it be things in your field

or rough and my brother-in-law sponge

he's been out of work for two years till

I got him your old job Eddie yeah why

don't you find some guy that's fresh out

of prison to do your dirty work okay

squirt you got principles thanks Eddie

you'll learn

fever I thought I heard voices

was that a tea oh you just missed him

huh that's nice how the job hunt go Bob

do you think I could raise two boys on a

crossing guard salary Oh beaver

you've only been looking for two days

took your father almost a year to find

the right job at least he finally found

one that he really liked well this may

come as a surprise to you but I can

remember your father coming home after a

long day with Fred Rutherford at the

Salt Mines he talked about striking out

in his own sometimes I've felt that way

myself how come dad never made the move

I suppose it was never meant to be no if

it wasn't closed for you boys it was the

college fund and no matter how much he

wanted to quit the time was never right

to take the risk but maybe the time is

not right for me either

Oh fever when the time's right you'll

know it

[Music]

nice beard or can I come in what do you

want to do make sure I'm not taking any

office supplies

oh no I trust you I just wish there was

something I could do for you

like maybe a letter of recommendation or

a low-interest loan anything

so here cleaver I'll take your last

paycheck save me the stamp thank you mr.

Rutherford

yeah I'm sorry it had to turn out this

way Theodore but I want you to

understand I don't take this lightly

I liked your father because well he was

a loyal friend a hard worker and a very

average golfer too bad the only thing

you inherited was the hitch in his swing

daddy you really shouldn't say those

things about Theodore are you

contradicting me well in my opinion he

has a better business sense than most of

the people in this company what do you

know about a Jew big lummox and he's so

good how come he loves up the marihuana

count he didn't I did I can't lie

anymore I'd like to be able to look my

daughter in the eye again are you

telling me you lost the account you big

oaf I'm not a no I'm not a lummox a

grown man with a family of my own we're

all human and shouldn't fall somebody

for trying to do the very best he can

and another thing no more tuba lessons

well what can I say except takes a big

man to stand up to his father and a

bigger man to admit his mistakes I'm

proud of your son

gee thanks dad you're fired

all right Weaver

welcome back teeing off and through your

clock care to join me uh thanks

Rutherford but no thanks I really wasn't

happy working for you you're not

supposed to be happy you're supposed to

be working well you can call me a

dreamer but I'm gonna try and find work

where I can do both

well cleaver I respect your sunny

optimism no matter how boneheaded it is

cheese Theodore that was a very

courageous thing to do oh it was braver

of you standing up to your father huh

terrific I'm courageous you're brave

we're both out of work

no lumpy I think you're looking at this

all wrong oh yeah you don't make as much

as I do

Dib sometimes you have to take risks

even if the time isn't right but I've

been thinking about going into business

for myself maybe it wouldn't be quite so

scary if I had a partner Mimi

us

lumpy and the beaver sure why not you

know maybe you've got something after

all B I mean people respected your dab

that alone should bring in a few bang

accounts who knows we might even land

the Merriwell account you know they're

looking for a new firm then we're

partners

[Music]

gasps how you doing well hello there

beaver find a job no as a matter of fact

I started my own business smart move
