I remember it. Wally gets mixed up with a group of sophisticated older boys
and Ward and June are concerned about him. Ward and June watch through the
window as Wally rides away on the back of a TR3 Homecoming Queen style and
have the following dialogue:
June: (concerned) "Ward, all that prestige and sports cars...that's very
tempting to a boy of Wally's age."
Ward: "To a boy of any age."
