to Marlin Perkins I know what happened
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

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
