  Ozzie Nelson : Yes, David. The government allows us six hundred dollars a year for each of you boys. That pays for your shoes.

  David Nelson : Oh, he's got his garage set up like a chemistry lab.

  Ozzie Nelson : Oh, say, I hope you're not concocting anything dangerous.

  David Nelson : Oh, nothin' dangerous. Bob gets some good ideas, though.

  Ricky Nelson : You oughta meet him, Pop. He's real crazy, man.

  Ozzie Nelson : Who says all this?

  Ricky Nelson : Our principal. Mrs Benson.
