EVENING
8PM LEAVE IT TO BEAVER - Sitcom, 30 min.
Wally and Beaver try to gyp a new kid out of his go-kart.

LEAVE IT TO BEAVER

"Fastest Kid in the Neighborhood"

 

FADE IN: INT. CLEAVER'S DINING ROOM

WARD

So, Beaver, I understand that you met a new kid in the neighborhood today. You met one too, didn't you Wally?

BEAVER

Gee, Dad. The new kid has a lot of toys, so to speak.

WARD

Really? What kind of toys?

WALLY

He's got everything, Dad.

BEAVER

Yeah, Dad. Motor bikes, electric trains, go-karts, you name it and he probably has it.

JUNE

Well, boys, sounds like you two were mighty impressed with his material possessions.

WARD

But June, don't you see how much fun all those things would seem to two young boys?

WALLY

And the go-kart he has can go 60 miles an hour!

WARD

60?! That seems pretty ridiculous, Wally. He must have been pulling your leg.

BEAVER

I don't think he was kidding, Dad. I saw the black tire marks he has left zipping around his street.

WARD

But, 60?? I still think that that is almost impossible for a go-kart.

JUNE

Oh Ward, don't you think you ought to go see this boy and tell him to stop spreading false tales?

WALLY

Gee Dad, don't do that, please! If you did, we'd be outcasts to him. We need to keep on his good side so we can maybe use some of his stuff.

WARD

Like his go-kart, maybe?

WALLY

Yes sir, like his real fast go-kart.

WARD

Do you boys think there is any possibility of him trading his go-kart to you for something he doesn't already have?

JUNE

Oh Ward, you're not going to bring up that scarf you claim was once worn by Eva Braun are you?

That young boy wouldn't even know who she was, much less see the value in her old scarf.

WARD

As a matter of fact, I was not going to suggest trading that scarf. I was going to bring up the baseball glove that once belonged to Babe Ruth.

WALLY

Gee Dad, you have a glove like that?!

WARD

Well, no. But he wouldn't have to know that. I have seen Babe's autograph before and I think I can duplicate it on an old glove of yours, Beaver. Go get it and let's see what it looks like.

JUNE

Oh Ward, you're not going to try to trade a fraudulent piece of Americana to that young boy for his fast go-kart, are you?

WARD

No.

The boys are.

JUNE

Whaaaat?! What if he does hand over that high-priced, fast go-kart and then finds out the baseball glove was a Sears kids glove? What are you gonna do then, Mr. gyp artist?!!

WARD

By then we will have traded the go-kart for something even more interesting. Oh, let's say, some late model Chrysler luxury model.

JUNE

Ward Cleaver, I couldn't even sit in a car if I knew it was purchased by tricking some little boy.

WARD

Yeah, I see a LeBaron Imperial being -

JUNE

A LeBaron you say?
