Wally's Girl Trouble (1957)

Louise Lewis: Miss Higgins

Quotes 

• Theodore Cleaver : It sure is swell of you to wrap that box for me, Miss Higgins.

  Miss Higgins : I'll fix it up real pretty, Beaver, with a red ribbon and a bow, just like it was Christmas.

  Theodore Cleaver : Gee, thanks. It's a real gift. Not 'money-tary' value, just 'sentanental'.

  Miss Higgins : 'Sentanental'? That's the best kind of a gift. Must be for someone special. Could it be a girl?

  Theodore Cleaver : Uh-huh. Girls make me sick to my stomach.

  Miss Higgins : They do?

  Theodore Cleaver : That's for my brother Wally's girl. He likes 'em.

  Miss Higgins : Well, I certainly hope she likes this gift. Here you are, Beaver. It's all done.

  Theodore Cleaver : Gee, it sure is pretty.

  [He grabs a pencil and pokes four holes in the top of the box] 

  Miss Higgins : What did you do that for?

  Theodore Cleaver : He's gotta breathe, don't he?

  [We find out later that his toad, Herbie, is in the box]
