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."
