STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNY HOWARD.

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

OH, OPIE, DO YOU HAVE TO DRAW ON EVERYTHING?

NOW, REMEMBER, FIRST YOU EAT THE SANDWICH

AND TH YOU EAT THE APPLE PIE

NOT THE APPLE PIE AND THEN THE SANDWICH.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YEAH, I UNDERSTAND

EVEN IF IT DON'T SEEM RIGHT.

WHY DOESN'T IT SEEM RIGHT?

WELL, IF YOU GET FULL BEFORE YOU FINISH

I'D SURE RATHER LEAVE OVER THE SANDWICH THAN THE PIE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I WANT YOU TO DO IT THE OTHER WAY

AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.

OKAY, AUNT BEE.

CAN I HAVE MY NICKEL FOR MILK?

MM-HMM.

NOW, REMEMBER

THIS IS FOR MILK

NOT ANOTHER PIECE OF APPLE PIE.

YOU NE THAT MILK TO MAKE YOUR BONES HARD.

YES, MA'AM.

NOW, GOOD-BYE, NOW.

BYE, AUNT BEE.

NOW, REMEMBER

THE SANDWICH FIRST AND THEN THE APPLE PIE?

YES, MA'AM.

GOOD.

PAW?

HMM?

YEAH, SON?

COULD I HAVE A NICKEL FOR MILK?

WELL, YEAH, I GUESS SO

IF I CAN GET A HOLD OF ONE HERE.

HERE. THERE YOU ARE.

THANKS, PAW.

OKAY. BE A GOOD BOY, NOW.

I WILL.

AND SHOW THE TEACHER YOU GOT SOME SMARTS.

OKAY.

OKAY.

BYE.

BYE, SON.

THAT BOY... I DECLARE

HE'S GOT THE SWEETEST TOOTH I EVER SAW.

YOU KNOW, IF HE HAD HIS WAY

WHAT HE'D WANT FOR LUNCH?

TWO SLICES OF APPLE PIE

BETWEEN TWO PIECES OF APPLE PIE

AND A SLAB OF APPLE PIE FOR DESSERT.

WELL, NOW, THAT'S NOT SURPRISING, AUNT BEE

CONSIDERING THE GREEN THUMB

YOU GOT FOR APPLE PIES.

NONSENSE. HE'S JUST APPLE PIE CRAZY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I GAVE HIM HIS NICKEL FOR MILK

I HAD TO REMIND HIM IT WAS FOR MILK

NOT ANOTHER PIECE OF APPLE PIE.

OH, THERE'S ANOTHER PIECE LEFT

IF YOU'D LIKE IT.

OF COURSE, IT DIDN'T TURN OUT QUITE RIGHT

THIS TIME, DID IT?

MM?

A LITTLE TOO MUCH CINNAMON

WELL, I'D SAY THERE MAYBE WAS

JUST THE LEAST LITTLE BIT

OF TOO MUCH CINNAMON, YEAH.

OH

WELL, MAYBE YOUR APPLES WAS TOO RIPE.

ANDY TAYLOR, THAT WAS ONE

OF THE BEST APPLE PIES I EVER MADE!

WELL, NOW, I'LL TELL YA, SINCE IT WAS SO BAD

MAYBE WE BETTER EAT IT UP

AND GET IT OUT OF THE WAY

SO WE'LL MAKE WAY FOR ANOTHER PIE.

AUNT BEE, YOU'RE BURIED IN THIS WORLD.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE BRAGGING, DON'T YOU?

OH, ANDY, STOP IT.

HERE WE ARE.

ONE PIECE LEFT.

I'D BETTER GET A PLATE.

WHAT IS IT, YOU'RE A LITTLE FLUSTERED?

OH, STOP IT.

HERE WE ARE.

WONDER WHY HE WANTED TWO NICKELS.

MM?

OPIE. YOU SAY YOU GIVE HIM A NICKEL FOR MILK?

YES.

HUH. HE ASKED ME FOR A NICKEL, TOO.

HE DID?

YEAH.

WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE HE DID THAT?

MIGHTY GOOD QUESTION, AUNT BEE.

I'LL HAVE TO SEE

IF I CAN'T GET US A MIGHTY GOOD ANSWER.

HI, OPIE.

HI.

SHELDON?

YEAH?

YOU WOULDN'T LIKE TO SORT OF LET ME

PASS BY YOUR STREET FOR FREE, WOULD YA?

WHY SHOULD I?

WELL, THEN I COULD GIVE PAW BACK

THE NICKEL I SORT OF OWE HIM.

WHO'S STOPPING YA?

WELL, IF I GIVE HIM BACK HIS NICKEL

AND I HAVE TO GIVE YOU A NICKEL

FOR PASSING BY YOUR STREET

I AIN'T GONNA HAVE NO NICKEL FOR MILK

AND BOY, SHELDON, IT AIN'T EASY GETTING

A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH DOWN DRY.

YESTERDAY, I ALMOST CHOKED.

DRINK WATER.

BUT IF I DON'T DRINK MILK, I'LL GET SOFT BONES.

I SURE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE PAW BACK HIS NICKEL, SHELDON.

WHAT IF I SAY I WON'T GIVE YOU THE NICKEL?

A KNUCKLE SANDWICH.

YEAH.

YOU WANT TO TRY IT?

NO.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'LL DO TO YOU IF YOU TELL ANYONE.

UH-HUH. YOU'LL PULVERIZE ME

THEN YOU'LL KNOCK MY BLOCK OFF

THEN YOU'LL GIVE ME THE OLD ONE-TWO

THEN YOU'LL JUMP ON ME.

SEE YA TOMORROW, OPIE.

HOWDY, SON.

HI, PAW.

SAID YOUR PRAYERS?

YES, SIR.

GOOD.

THOUGHT MAYBE YOU AND ME MIGHT HAVE US A LITTLE TALK.

OH.

WHAT ABOUT?

MM... FIRST ONE THING, THEN ANOTHER.

I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THEM SUBJECTS.

WELL, SUPPOSE WE TALK

ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DO KNOW ABOUT, THEN

LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, UH

ASKING ME FOR A NICKEL FOR MILK THIS MORNING

RIGHT AFTER AUNT BEE ALREADY GIVE YOU A NICKEL.

OH.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

WELL, I FIGURED THAT WAY

IF I LOST ONE NICKEL

I'D STILL HAVE ONE LEFT FOR MILK.

OH, I SEE.

YOU WOULDN'T WANT MY BONES TO GET SOFT, WOULD YA?

COURSE NOT.

BUT, UH...

WHAT MADE YOU THINK YOU MIGHT LOSE ONE?

OH, YOU KNOW HOW CARELESS SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOYS ARE.

YOU KNOW WHAT AUNT BEE SAYS.

IF OUR HEADS WASN'T FASTENED TO OUR SHOULDERS

WE'D LOSE 'EM.

YEAH, I GUESS THAT'S RIGHT.

DID YOU, UH... DID YOU LOSE ONE?

SORTA.

SORTA? HOW CAN YOU SORTA LOSE A NICKEL?

WELL, FIRST YOU GOT IT, THEN YOU AIN'T.

WELL, WHY?

I...

I SURE AM SLEEPY, PAW.

FINE, FINE.

TELL ME NOW HOW YOU SORTA LOST THAT NICKEL

AND YOU CAN QUIET UP AND GO RIGHT TO SLEEP.

GOLLY, PAW.

A GROWING BOY'S GOT TO HAVE HIS SLEEP.

OPIE...

I MUST BE GROWING AWFUL FAST.

I CAN'T HARDLY KEEP MY EYES OPEN.

OPIE...

OPE...

NIGHT, SON.

Barney: MAYBE HE DID LOSE THE NICKEL, ANDY.

YOU KNOW HOW CARELESS SEVEN-YEAR-OLD BOYS ARE.

COURSE I KNOW.

OPIE TOLD ME.

ONLY HOW'D HE KNOW HE WAS GONNA LOSE IT?

WELL, MAYBE HE HAD ONE OF THEM, UH...

YOU KNOW, THOSE FLASHES

WHERE YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENS.

PREMONITION?

YEAH, THAT'S IT. PREMONITION.

I DON'T THINK SO.

YEAH?

WELL... ME NEITHER.

MM

SO WHAT'D YOU MENTION IT FOR?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE I FIGURED

I COULD CONVINCE MYSELF, TOO.

BARNEY, WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?

WELL, I WASN'T GOING TO SAY NOTHING

BUT I GUESS I BETTER.

HE STOPPED IN HERE THIS MORNING

BEFORE YOU GOT HERE.

OPIE DID?

YEAH. WANTED TO KNOW DID I HAVE A NICKEL

I WASN'T USING.

HE DID? WHY, I SAW AUNT BEE GIVE...

HE SAY WHAT HE WANTED IT FOR?

NO. I ASKED HIM

BUT HE JUST HEMMED AND HAWED AROUND

AND SHIFTED FROM ONE FOOT TO THE OTHER

AND I DIDN'T PRESS IT.

YEAH.

THAT'S THE REASON I DIDN'T PUSH IT HARDER LAST NIGHT.

SO HE'S HOLDING SOMETHING BACK, AIN'T HE?

MM-HMM.

HMM.

YOU AIN'T GOT NO IDEA WHAT IT IS, HUH?

NOT THE FIRST. MYSTERY TO ME.

A MYSTERY, HUH?

BARNEY, ARE YOU SURE?

IT WAS AS PLAIN AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE.

IT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN NOTHING ELSE!

IT'S JUST PLAIN EXTORTION'S WHAT IT IS!

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN IT, WOULDN'T IT?

HE'S TOO SCARED NOT TO GIVE HIM THE NICKEL

AND TOO ASHAMED TO TELL ME ABOUT IT.

WHY DON'T I GO TO THAT BOY'S HOME AND TELL HIS DADDY.

NO, NO. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL

AND THAT WOULD SETTLE IT FOR NOW

BUT WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME

SOMEBODY GOES PUSHING OPIE AROUND?

DO YOU AND ME RUN IN AND SOLVE IT FOR HIM?

WELL, ANDY, HE'S SCARED.

WELL, I MEAN THE OTHER BOY IS SO MUCH TOUGHER.

WHY DON'T I GIVE OPIE SOME LESSONS?

LOOK-- JAB, JAB, CHOP AND SMACK!

NO, NO, BARNEY.

IT'S NOT LESSONS IN FIGHTING HE NEEDS.

I JUST DON'T WANT HIM TO BE AFRAID.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO BE THE KIND OF BOY

THAT GOES AROUND LOOKING FOR FIGHTS

BUT I DON'T WANT HIM TO RUN FROM ONE

WHEN HE'S IN THE RIGHT.

YEAH.

WELL, HOW YOU GOING TO DO IT, ANDY?

YOU CAN'T LET HIM KNOW YOU KNOW.

HE FEELS BAD ENOUGH AS IT IS.

HE'LL FEEL JUST TERRIBLE

IF HE THINKS YOU KNOW HE'S...

WELL, SCARED.

YEAH. HMM.

YEAH.

HMM.

WELL, I RECKON I'LL JUST HAVE

TO FIGURE A WAY, WON'T I?

YEAH.

OH, BOY, I GOT ANOTHER ONE!

REEL HIM IN, REEL HIM IN RIGHT QUICK.

OH, BOY, AIN'T HE A WHOPPER!

WOW, IS HE PRETTY! MM-MM!

BOY, AIN'T HE A WHOPPER?

HE REALLY IS A WHOPPER.

JUMPIN' AROUND THERE

WHERE I CAN'T GET A HOLD OF HIM.

FIGHTIN' LIKE THAT, HE'LL BE GOOD TO EAT, WON'T HE?

YEAH, I BET HE WILL.

YEAH, LOOKA THERE, LOOKA THERE.

WELL, WE 'BOUT GOT OUR LIMIT.

WE BETTER BE A-HEADIN' ON BACK.

AUNT BEE'LL WONDER WHATEVER HAPPENED TO US.

PUT ON YOUR SNEAKERS.

OKAY, PAW.

BOY, PAW, YOU SURE DO KNOW THE BEST PLACES.

HOW'D YOU EVER FIND THIS SPOT?

AW...

AW, I JUST...

WELL, NOW, THAT'S A RIGHT INTERESTIN' STORY, OPE.

IT IS, PAW?

IT SURELY IS.

SEE, I FIRST COME UP ON THIS SPOT

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE FELLER, NOT MUCH BIGGER'N YOU.

REALLY, PAW?

YEAH.

COME ON HER ACCIDENTAL-LIKE ONE DAY

DECIDED I'D GIVE HER A TRY.

THREW IN MY LINE-- WHAM.

GOT ONE ALMOST AS BIG AS THAT'N YOU GOT THERE.

THREW HER IN AGAIN.

WHAM!

SEE-SEEM LIKE I'D STUMBLED RIGHT ON THE SPOT

WHERE ALL THE FISH IN THE RIVER COME

TO SORTA TALK THINGS OVER.

A FISHES COMMUNITY CENTER, YOU MIGHT SAY.

BOY!

YEAH.

WELL, KNOWIN' I HAD ME A GOOD THING

I KEPT HER A SECRET.

THE OTHER FELLAS WOULD GO FISHIN'--

I'D-I'D SORTA SNEAK AWAY AND WE'D MEET LATER

AND THEY'D HAVE TWO OR THREE LITTLE BITTY THINGS

AND I'D HAVE A STRING OF WHALES.

TH-THEY WAS SO JEALOUS YOU COULD SMELL IT.

YEAH, I BET THEY WAS.

YOU'D BET RIGHT, TOO.

YEAH.

WELL, ONE DAY, ONE DAY

I SNUCK AWAY TO MY SECRET SPOT.

I HADN'T NO MORE'N GOTTEN MY LINE IN

WHEN WHAT DO YOU RECKON I SAW?

WHAT?

HODIE SNITCH WAS STANDIN' THERE.

HODIE SNITCH

TOUGH LITTLE FELLA

THAT USED TO LIVE IN THIS TOWN A LONG TIME AGO.

SEEMS HE SNUCK RIGHT AFTER ME WHEN I SNUCK AWAY.

DIRTY SNEAK.

YEAH.

YEAH.

HE WAS SNEAKY

BUT THAT AIN'T THE WORST OF IT.

HE SAYS TO ME--

HO-HODIE SAYS--

HE SAYS-HE SAYS, "BEAT IT, BOY."

HE SAYS, "FROM NOW ON, THIS HERE IS MY SPOT."

SAYS, "IF-IF I CATCH YOU FISHIN' HERE AGAIN

"I'M GONNA TEAR YOU INTO LITTLE BITTY PIECES

AND USE YOU FOR BAIT."

WHAT'D YOU DO, PAW? WHAT'D YOU DO?

I LEFT.

IT SHAMES ME TO SAY IT, SON

BUT I PICKED MYSELF UP

AND I CRAWLED OUTTA THERE LIKE I WAS A WHIPPED PUP

WHICH I WAS.

HOW COME, PAW?

WHY DIDN'T YOU MAKE HIM

CRAWL OUTTA THERE LIKE A WHIPPED PUP?

'CAUSE HE ACTED TOUGH AND I WAS SCARED OF HIM.

BUT IT WAS...

OH.

SOME FELLERS SURE TALK TOUGH, DON'T THEY, PAW?

THEY SURELY DO

ONLY YOU KNOW WHAT I FOUND OUT?

WHAT?

I FOUND OUT THAT TOUGH TALK'S JUST TALK.

SIT DOWN ON THAT LOG THERE, AND LET ME FIX YOUR SHOE.

YOU DID?

DID WHAT?

FOUND OUT THAT TOUGH TALK'S JUST TALK.

I SURELY DID.

HOW?

WELL, I GOT TO FEELIN' BAD

MIGHTY BAD.

YOU KNOW WHY?

'CAUSE HE TOOK AWAY YOUR MILK MONEY.

I MEAN, YOUR FISHIN' SPOT.

YEAH, THAT WAS IT-- AT FIRST--

AND THEN, IT GOT TO BE FOR A DIFFERENT REASON.

I GOT TO FEELIN' MIGHTY ASHAMED

BECAUSE I WAS TOO SCARED

TO PROTECT WHAT WAS RIGHTFULLY MINE.

MIGHTY ASHAMED.

YEAH.

YEAH. I'M TELLIN' YOU,

YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT A FELLA THAT FELT LOWER

THAN A TWO-FACED, SNIVELING, CRAWLING --

LILY

HOW'D YOU KNOW?

I GOT A PRETTY GOOD IMAGINATION.

WELL, YOU IMAGINE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

I FELT SO LOW THAT A LITTLE, BITTY ANT

COULDN'T HAVE WALKED UNDER ME.

AND I TRIED, AND I TRIED EVERY WAY I KNEW

TO GET SHUT OF THAT FEELING

BUT I JUST KEPT FEELIN' LOWER AND LOWER

AND THEN ONE DAY,

ONE DAY WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL

THE TEACHER WAS TELLIN' US YOUNG'UNS

ABOUT HOW THIS COUNTRY OF OURS BEGUN

AND SHE TOLD US ABOUT THIS FELLA

THAT SAYS-SAYS, "MILLIONS FOR CHARITY

BUT NOT ONE PENNY FOR TRIBUTE"

AND THEN SHE EXPLAINED TO US WHAT THAT MEANT.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN, PAW?

WELL, THAT-THAT MEANS

THAT-THAT IT'S-IT'S FINE AND DANDY

TO GIVE AWAY SOMETHIN' BECAUSE YOU WANT TO

BUT N BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED

THE OTHER FELLA'S GONNA GIVE YOU

A PUNCH IN THE NOSE IF YOU DON'T.

YOU KNOW WHAT I DID?

I GOT MY FISHIN' GEAR

AND I MARCHED MYSELF RIGHT DOWN TO MY OLD FISHIN' HOLE.

YOU DID? I DID.

AND THERE WAS HODIE...

TOUGH GUY HODIE--

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED?

HE GOT SCARED AND RAN AWAY.

NOPE.

HE DID JUST EXACTLY LIKE HE PROMISED HE WOULD.

A KNUCKLE SANDWICH?

RIGHT ON THE NOSE.

OH.

YOU KNOW WHAT I DID?

I LAUGHED.

YOU DID

BECAUSE IT COME TO ME THAT WHAT I'D BEEN SO SCARED OF

WASN'T REALLY WORTH BEIN' SCARED OF AT ALL.

I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL THAT KNUCKLE SANDWICH.

YOU DIDN'T?

NOT A BIT

AND I LIT INTO HIM LIKE A WINDMILL IN A TORNADO.

WHAT HAPPENED?

ME AND YOU FISHED THAT SPOT, DIDN'T WE?

YEAH.

YEAH.

OKAY, COME ON.

PAW, YOU SAY YOU DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT?

NOPE.

PAW?

YES, SON?

YOU LAUGHED?

YOU REALLY LAUGHED?

PAW?

YES, SON?

DID IT BLEED MUCH?

PAW?

HMM?

GOOD MORNIN', SON.

PAW?

UH

COULD YOU TAKE THIS DOWN TO THE COURTHOUSE

AND HOLD IT THERE FOR ME?

WELL, I GUESS I COULD.

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT FOR?

WELL, IF SOMETHIN' WAS TO HAPPEN

THAT GOT MY CLOTHES TORE AND MESSY

I FIGURED I COULD GO OVER TO THE COURTHOUSE AND CHANGE

SO'S AUNT BEE WON'T KNOW ABOUT IT.

OH, I SEE.

YOU KNOW HOW SHE IS

WHEN A FELLA GETS HIS CLOTHES TORE AND MESSY.

SHE SURE DOES KICK UP A FUSS, DON'T SHE?

SHE SURE DOES.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD REASON.

THEY'LL BE AT THE COURTHOUSE, WAITIN' FOR YA.

THANKS, PAW.

YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT?

DO YOU THINK IT'S HAPPENED YET?

NO. HE'S LEAVIN' THE HOUSE ABOUT NOW.

POOR LITTLE FELLER.

YEAH.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL BE

RUNNIN' ALONG.

BARNEY?

HUH?

JUST STAY RIGHT HERE.

OKAY, ANDY.

I EXPECT HE IS JUST ABOUT TURNIN' THE CORNER

AT FIFTH AND ELM NOW.

YEAH.

THREE MORE BLOCKS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

THREE MORE BLOCKS.

WELL, I GUESS I'LL DO A LITTLE PATROLLIN'...

BARNEY!

I WANNA WATCH, ANDY.

YOU'LL SPOIL EVERYTHING IF YOU WATCH.

YEAH, I...

I GUESS SO.

DID YOU EVER DO ANYTHING THAT YOU WONDERED

IF YOU WAS DOING THE RIGHT THING?

YEAH.

COME ON, OPIE, HAND IT OVER.

WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.

ARE YA OR AIN'T YA?

I HOPE YOU WAS TELLIN' ME THE TRUTH, PAW.

OPIE!

OPIE, SON, YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, PAW.

AIN'T IT A BEAUT?

IT SURE IS.

TELL THE TRUTH, BARNEY

DID YOU EVER SEE A PURTIER ONE IN ALL YOUR BORN DAYS?

NO, ANDY, I AIN'T NEVER SEEN A PURTIER ONE

IN ALL MY BORN DAYS.

AND YOU WERE RIGHT-- I DIDN'T EVEN FEEL IT.

YOU DIDN'T?

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE, BARNEY?

WHAT?

I LAUGHED. DID YOU?

YEAH, JUST LIKE YOU, PAW.

I LAUGHED AND SAILED INTO HIM

LIKE A WINDMILL IN A TORNADO.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU AIN'T STOPPED BLOWIN' EITHER.

YEAH.

AND HERE'S YOUR NICKEL, BARNEY.

OH, THANKS, OPE.

AND HERE'S YOURS, PAW.

WHY THANK YOU, SON.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

WANNA KNOW SOMETHIN', PAW?

WHAT?

A SANDWICH SURE

TASTES BETTER WITH MILK.

YOU THINK MAYBE IT'LL SPREAD OVER TO THE OTHER EYE, PAW?

AND MAYBE MY NOSE WILL SWELL UP SOME, HUH, PAW, HUH?

WELL...

HERE IT IS, ANDY.

OH, GOOD. MUCH OBLIGED, BARN.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT'LL LAST, PAW?

I MEAN, IF I TAKE CARE OF IT AND DON'T WASH IT.

YOU AIN'T GONNA PUT THAT ON MY EYE, ARE YOU, PAW?

SURE, IT'LL TAKE THE STING OUT.

THE COLOR, TOO?

WELL...

AND THE SWELLING?

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

OH.

UH, THE SOONER YOU PUT THAT ON, THE QUICKER SHE WORKS.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE SO.

I-I DON'T KNOW, BARNEY.

IF A FELLA GETS A MEDAL,

IT AIN'T RIGHT TO ASK HIM TO HIDE IT.

SON, IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THAT,

IT COULD BE THAT IT'LL LAST A WEEK OR TWO.

GEE, THANKS, PAW.
