FADE IN: INT. DINING ROOM - EVE
THE CLEAVERS ARE EATING A TYPICAL, ALL-AMERICAN DINNER AND HAVING TYPICAL CONVERSATION.
WARD
Well, did you boys do well in school today?
WALLY
JUNE
Well, Beaver, how about you?
BEAVER
Miss Landers said that one out of one hundred thousand kids is born with more than one head.
Is that true?
WARD
Beaver, I am apalled that Miss Landers is bringing up such statistics in the second grade. Are
you sure that's what she said?
BEAVER
Gee, Dad. She even had pictures!
JUNE
Oh, Beaver, you must be mistaken.
WARD
Hold on, Beaver! Are you trying to tell me that your teacher, Miss Landers, trotted out
photographs of at least one two-headed person?
BEAVER
Yep. The person in the picture was eating cereal and asleep!
WALLY
Neat! I wish I could do that!
JUNE AND WARD LOOK AT EACH OTHER IN HORROR.
WARD
Wally, that's enough! It is certainly not neat to witness such an abnormality!
WALLY
(rethinking)
JUNE
Oh, Ward. Don't you think you ought to go to the Beaver's school tomorrow and see about this?
WARD
See about what? The two-headed picture thing?
JUNE
About Miss Landers being so indiscreet.
WARD
(to himself)
I'd like to show that fox something discreet!
JUNE
WARD
I said, discreetness is what that teacher ought to be showing.
JUNE
BEAVER
Gee, Dad. can you wait on the school visitation thing until after our class disects
Larry's pet dog? About 2 o'clock?
