STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNIE HOWARD.

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

MR. WHEELER...

WHY, YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT SPRAY FOR EVERY SIZE BUSH.

OH, YOU HAVE TO, MA'AM.

THIS LITTLE ONE COULDN'T STAND THE SAME

AS THE BIG ONES.

IT'S GOT TOO MUCH NICOTINE IN IT.

MIGHT THROW THE LITTLE FELLER INTO SHOCK.

WE WOULDN'T WANT TO DO THAT.

YOU DO UNDERSTAND FLOWERS, DON'T YOU?

WELL, WHAT IS PRETTIER

THAN A ROSEBUD BURSTING INTO BLOOM

OR A CAMELLIA SHIMMERING WITH DEWDROPS?

WELL, THE WAY I FEEL, THEY GIVE US SO MUCH BEAUTY

THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS GIVE THEM A LITTLE CARE.

ANDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?

OH, I JUST THOUGHT I'D HAVE ME A HOT LUNCH FOR A CHANGE.

WHO'S THE, UH...?

OH. OH, THAT'S MR. WHEELER.

HE WAS DRIVING BY

AND HE NOTICED THE APHIDS ON OUR ROSEBUSHES.

AND IT'S A GOOD THING HE DID, TOO.

MR. WHEELER NOTICED THEM LITTLE BITTY APHIDS

ALL THE WAY FROM HIS TRUCK?

HE MUST HAVE PRETTY GOOD EYES.

AUNT BEE, YOU GOT TO STOP FALLIN'

FOR THE LINE OF EVERY PITCHMAN THAT COMES DRIVIN' BY.

SHH.

HE'LL HEAR YOU.

MR. WHEELER IS NO PITCHMAN.

HE'S A VERY FINE GENTLEMAN.

WELL, HOW MUCH IS THIS FINE GENTLEMAN CHARGIN' US

TO SQUIRT THAT GOO ALL OVER OUR ROSES?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT WHATEVER IT IS

I'M SURE IT'LL BE PERFECTLY FAIR.

GOOD THING I COME HOME WHEN I DID.

UH, MR. WHEELER...

HI, SHERIFF.

NOW, NOW, THERE'S AS FINE A PEABODY ROSE

AS I HAVE EVER SEEN.

YEAH.

UH, MY AUNT BEE OVERLOOKED ONE LITTLE DETAIL.

HOW MUCH ARE YOU CHARGIN' US

TO SAVE OUR ROSES?

WELL, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

I HADN'T GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT

BUT DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT

IT'LL BE REASONABLE.

MM-HMM. WELL, JUST HOW REASONABLE?

WOULD $1.60 BE TOO MUCH?

I COULDA CHARGED YOU $1.75, BUT YOU CAN'T MAKE A LIVING

IF YOU WANT TO GO AROUND ROBBIN' PEOPLE.

WELL, YOU WASN'T FOOLIN'

WHEN YOU SAID IT'D BE REASONABLE, WAS YA?

OH, UH, 'SCUSE ME, MR. WHEELER.

OH, AM I GONNA EAT OUT HERE ON THE PORCH?

OH, NO, NO.

YOURS IS ON THE KITCHEN TABLE.

THIS IS FOR MR. WHEELER.

I'M SURE HE MUST BE HUNGRY AFTER ALL THAT HARD WORK.

WELL, TURNS OUT I WAS WRONG ABOUT MR. WHEELER.

MAKIN' ALL THEM REMARKS ABOUT YOU BEING TOOK

LOOKS LIKE HE'S THE ONE THAT'S BEING TOOK.

WELL, I TOLD YOU

HE'S A VERY FINE GENTLEMAN.

OH, MR. WHEELER...

HI, AUNT BEE.

HI, ANDY.

OH, CHICKEN!

MMM-MMM.

WE HAVIN' COMPANY FOR SUPPER?

WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?

YOU'RE NOT GENERALLY THAT DRESSED UP

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES,

A BODY CAN'T GO AROUND LOOKING A MESS ALL THE TIME.

TATERS...

IS MR. WHEELER FINISHED YET?

HE APPEARED TO BE WHEN I PASSED HIM.

HE'S GOT THE YARD LOOKIN' SO NICE

ALONGSIDE IT, THE HOUSE LOOKS A MESS.

OH, HE'S A GOOD WORKER, TOO.

"TOO"?

WELL, IN ADDITION TO BEING A GOOD WORKER, HE...

YEAH, HE'S WHAT?

WELL, HE'S A...

YEAH, MM

WELL, HE WORKS GOOD.

OH, GO ON AND GET WASHED UP.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, THERE'S MR. WHEELER NOW.

COME ON IN THE HOUSE, MR. WHEELER.

GOT IT ALL DONE, DID YA?

YEP, ALL FINISHED.

ALREADY?

WELL, YES, MA'AM.

OH, UH, HERE'S AN ITEMIZED BILL.

UH-HUH.

BOY, IF THAT BILL WAS ANY LESS

YOU'D BE OWIN' US MONEY.

IF YOU EVER COME BY THIS WAY AGAIN

YOU BE SURE AND STOP IN AND SEE US.

WELL, THANK YOU.

IT'S A PLEASURE MEETIN' UP

WITH FOLKS LIKE YOU.

WELL, GOOD-BYE.

WELL, WE'LL SEE YA.

BYE.

OH, BEFORE I GO...

YES, MR. WHEELER?

IF IT ISN'T TOO MUCH TROUBLE

COULD I BORROW AN ONION?

I WAS THINKIN' OF MAKIN' MYSELF

ANOTHER MESS OF STEW TONIGHT

AND I JUST REMEMBERED I RAN OUT OF ONIONS.

A STEW?

WELL, WHERE ON EARTH WOULD YOU COOK IT?

I HAVE A LITTLE STOVE IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK...

CHICKEN?

YES.

MR. WHEELER, HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN

SINCE YOU HAVE HAD A GOOD HOME

OH, WELL, LET'S SEE, I, UH...

OH, WELL, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

JUST GIVE ME MY ONION AND I'LL RUN ALONG.

NONSENSE.

WHY DON'T YOU STAY AND EAT WITH US.

I ALWAYS COOK MORE CHICKEN THAN WE CAN EAT.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT, ANDY?

RIGHT AS RAIN.

NOW, YOU STAY AND EAT WITH US, MR. WHEELER!

WILL YOU?

YEAH.

WELL, ALL RIGHT, I WILL.

GOOD, GOOD, THERE'S PLENTY HERE.

ONE THING -- ONE THING...

TO MAKE IT FAIR,

I'LL TRIM THE IVY BEFORE I GO.

OH, THAT'S -- OH, WELL, NOW, THAT IS...

COME ON IN HERE AND SIT DOWN.

SUPPER WILL BE READY IN JUST A MINUTE.

ANOTHER PIECE OF CORN, MR. WHEELER?

HOW ABOUT JUST ONE LITTLE PIECE --

NO MORE -- MISS BEE,

I DON'T EVER REMEMBER ENJOYING A MEAL LIKE THIS,

AND I'VE EATEN A LOT OF MEALS IN MY TIME!

AIN'T YOU GLAD YOU STAYED?

THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH.

I'LL GO GET US SOME MORE FRESH COFFEE.

IT MUST BE AN INTERESTING LIFE, MR. WHEELER,

TRAVELING AROUND FROM TOWN TO TOWN,

SEEING THE SIGHTS, WORKING JUST ENOUGH TO GET BY.

GOSH, I BET YOU'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE.

YEAH, JUST ABOUT.

TRAVELING IS ALL RIGHT...

I ONCE HAD A LITTLE HARDWARE STORE.

YOU DID?

YEAH -- PRESSURE GOT A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME,

AND I DECIDED THAT HAPPINESS AND HEALTH

WAS A LOT MORE IMPORTANT.

A-HA...

SO I GOT ME A TRUCK AND WENT ON THE ROAD.

I'LL BE DOGGED!

BUT I... I'M GETTING OLDER,

ONE OF THESE DAYS I'M GOING TO FIND ME

A NICE LITTLE HOUSE LIKE THIS AND SETTLE DOWN.

THAT'LL BE NICE FOR YOU.

YEAH -- WHEN YOU FIND THE RIGHT PARTY TO DO IT WITH.

MAN NEEDS SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF,

AND SOMEBODY TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.

WELL, IF THAT'S ALL YOU WANT, MR. WHEELER,

WHY DON'T YOU BUY A DOG?

OPE, I BELIEVE MR. WHEELER HAD SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND!

HERE WE ARE, FRESH COFFEE FOR EVERYBODY!

YOU BETTER GET ON UPSTAIRS AND DO YOUR LESSONS NOW.

CAN I STAY HERE AND TALK TO MR. WHEELER?

NO. GET ON UP AND STUDY NOW.

GO ON.

OKAY, PAW.

I'LL SEE YA.

WELL, I'LL DO THESE DISHES FOR YA, AUNT BEE.

OH, NO, NO, ANDY, DON'T YOU BOTHER.

I CAN DO THEM.

AND SPOT THAT PURTY DRESS?

MERCY.

I'LL DO 'EM.

ARE YOU SURE?

OH, SURE. I DON'T MIND.

THANK YOU, ANDY.

THAT'S ME WHEN MY FAMILY MOVED TO PEORIA.

I WAS 18.

SEE HOW SKINNY I AM?

YEAH.

Aunt Bee: EXCUSE ME.

I'LL GO SEE HOW ANDY'S

GETTING ALONG WITH THE DISHES.

ANDY...

OH, I'M SORRY IT'S TAKIN' ME SO LONG, AUNT BEE.

YOU ALL HAVIN' A NICE CHAT, ARE YA?

YES.

ANDY, MR. WHEELER'S FIXING TO LEAVE.

OH? YES.

AND I WAS WONDERING...

WONDERING WHAT?

WELL, I WAS WONDERING, ARE WE QUITE SURE

THERE ISN'T SOMETHING ELSE THAT HE COULD DO FOR US?

IT'D BE A SHAME IF AFTER HE LEFT

WE DISCOVERED THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE

HE COULD HAVE DONE FOR US, HMM?

YEAH, THAT WOULD BE A SHAME, WOULDN'T IT?

HMM?

WE BETTER GO TALK TO HIM.

WELL, MR. WHEELER, I HEAR YOU'RE FIXIN' TO MOVE ON.

YES.

I'VE ENJOYED YOUR HOSPITALITY

AND THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY.

NOW, IT'S TIME TO GO.

WELL, UH, MR. WHEELER, I WAS JUST THINKIN'...

IT'S TOO BAD I'M LEAVING TOWN.

I NOTICED SOME LOOSE SHINGLES

ON YOUR ROOF THAT SURE NEED FIXING.

WELL, NOW, I'M GLAD YOU DID NOTICE THAT.

IT'S GONNA LEAK SOMETHIN' TERRIBLE

NEXT TIME WE HAVE A STORM.

IT'S TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE

A FELLA LIKE YOU AROUND TO FIX IT.

NOW, YOU KNOW, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF

ROOFING'S ONE OF MY SPECIALTIES.

GOOD, THEN YOU'LL DO IT.

I DECLARE, MR. WHEELER

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT ALONG WITHOUT YOU.

WELL, I'LL GET AT THAT ROOF

THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME

I'LL GET MYSELF SOME SHUT-EYE.

A LITTLE SHUT-EYE HELPS.

OH, BY THE WAY...

DO YOU MIND IF I PARK MY TRUCK IN YOUR DRIVEWAY?

WELL, HELP YOURSELF.

WHERE YOU GONNA GET THIS SHUT

IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK. GOOD NIGHT.

MR. WHEELER, DO YOU SLEEP IN THE BACK OF YOUR TRUCK?

OH, IT'S NOT AS BAD AS THAT.

I HAVE A SLEEPING BAG AND IT'S QUITE COMFORTABLE.

I JUST LIE THERE AND COUNT THE STARS.

OLDER FOLKS DON'T DO THAT, YOU KNOW.

GOOD NIGHT.

OH, MR. WHEELER...

ANDY, WE CAN'T LET MR. WHEELER SLEEP

OUT THERE IN THE DAMP AIR

WHEN WE'VE GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD GUEST ROOM.

AUNT BEE'S RIGHT, MR. WHEELER.

NO, NO, NO, I COULDN'T DO IT.

NO. NOW, WE WON'T TAKE NO FOR A ANSWER.

WELL, IT'S HARD TO SAY NO TO FOLKS LIKE YOU.

I HUMBLY ACCEPT.

GOOD.

GOOD. COME ON, LET ME SHOW YOU THE ROOM.

OH, MR. WHEELER?

BREAKFAST IS AT 7:00.

OH, BY THE WAY,

YOU WOULDN'T HAVE AN EXTRA ALARM CLOCK, WOULD YA?

IF BREAKFAST IS ANYTHING LIKE SUPPER

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANY CHANCES ON BEING LATE.

GOOD NIGHT, MISS BEE.

YOU'RE A KIND WOMAN.

WELL, MORNING, MR. WHEELER.

ANXIOUS TO GET RIGHT TO IT, ARE YOU?

JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED.

WELL, IT'S A GOOD DAY FOR IT.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING. IT'S NOTHING AT ALL.

IT'S JUST A TOUCH OF LUMBAGO.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

WELL, MAYBE YOU OUGHTA COME DOWN FROM THERE.

NO. I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

NOW, MR. WHEELER

I WANT YOU TO COME DOWN FROM UP THERE RIGHT NOW.

WELL, IF YOU SAY SO.

HERE. LET ME TAKE THAT.

DARN BACK OF MINE.

JUST WHEN I WAS ITCHIN' TO START SHINGLIN'.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT, IF YOU DON'T MIND

IF YOU CAN CARRY THE SHINGLES UP ON THE ROOF FOR ME

I CAN TAKE OVER.

WELL, OF COURSE. I'LL BE GLAD TO.

I HATE TO PUT YOU TO THAT TROUBLE.

THAT'S NO TROUBLE.

NOT BAD, ANDY. NOT BAD.

GONNA HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THAT TOP ROW A LITTLE.

I'LL TAKE OVER.

HERE WE ARE.

OH, MAN, DON'T THAT LEMONADE LOOK GOOD?

NO. THIS IS FOR MR. WHEELER.

HE'S BEEN WORKING ON THAT HOT ROOF ALL DAY.

DEAR LADY.

MMM-MMM-MMM.

JUST HITS THE SPOT.

MR. WHEELER, DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH.

WHO MAKES UP THOSE JOKES ANYWAY?

OH, ANDY, YOU'RE STILL UP.

OH, I WAS JUST READING THE PAPER.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU ALL HAD A BIG EVENING.

IT WAS SURE A NICE PICTURE.

AFTER THE PICTURE

AUNT BEE SHOWED ME DOWNTOWN MAYBERRY.

WELL...

THEN WE HAD A COUPLE OF ICE CREAM SODAS

AND NOW WE'RE BACK HOME.

HOPE I DIDN'T KEEP HER OUT TOO LATE.

OH, WELL, NOW, YOU DID HAVE A BIG EVENING, DIDN'T YOU?

WE SURE DID.

I COULD SEE THAT CARTOON AGAIN AND AGAIN.

WELL, I GUESS ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE TO COME TO AN END.

I JUST WANT YOU FOLKS TO KNOW

THAT I'LL REMEMBER THESE LAST FEW DAYS

FOR AN AWFUL LONG TIME.

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE GOING SOMEPLACE.

AT THIS HOUR?

NO, NOW, I'VE PUT YOU OUT ENOUGH.

MY WORK IS FINISHED, THERE'S NO REASON TO STAY.

UH...MR. WHEELER, I WAS JUST STUDYING.

WITH YOU STILL HERE

WHY, IT DON'T MAKE MUCH SENSE

FOR ME TO CALL IN A PAINTER,

AND THAT FIXED-UP ROOF

MAKES OUR FRONT PORCH LOOK A SIGHT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S ODD YOU SHOULD'VE MENTIONED THAT.

I JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE A NEW BRUSH IN THE TRUCK.

NO, YOU DON'T.

YES, I DO.

YOU'LL HAVE TO PAINT IT THEN.

I'LL BE GLAD TO.

WELL, IF I'M GOING TO GET STARTED

PAINTING THAT PORCH IN THE MORNING

I BETTER GET ME A LITTLE SHUT-EYE.

IF YOU FOLKS WILL EXCUSE ME.

WHAT IS IT?

YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING.

I STOPPED BY TO SPRAY A FEW ROSES

YOU FOLKS WON'T LET ME LEAVE.

GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT, MR. WHEELER.

HEY, YOU KNOW...

SOMETHING JUST COME TO ME.

DIDN'T WE HAVE THAT PORCH PAINTED

JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO?

WHY, I FORGOT THAT.

YEAH, MAYBE I BETTER TELL MR. WHEELER JUST TO FORGET IT.

NO, NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

A SECOND COAT OF PAINT NEVER HURT ANYBODY.

OH, IT DIDN'T?

NO.

WELL, MAYBE WE BETTER PAINT EVERYBODY TWICE.

OH, ANDY.

WELL, GOOD MORNING, MR. WHEELER.

HOW YOU FEELIN'?

HUH? OH, I COULDN'T FEEL BETTER.

SEE THAT CLOUD OVER YONDER, ANDY?

YEAH?

WHICH ONE?

THAT ONE RIGHT THROUGH THE FORK OF THE TREES THERE.

UH-HUH.

DON'T THAT LOOK LIKE A WOMAN?

YEAH. IT DOES A LITTLE.

YEAH. CLOUDS AND WOMEN ARE A LOT ALIKE.

THEY'RE BOTH THERE, BUT WE DON'T APPRECIATE 'EM.

NOW, THAT CLOUD UP THERE

IT'S GIVING US BEAUTY, BUT WE'RE NOT THANKFUL.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

IT'S THE SAME WITH A WOMAN.

THEY GIVE US BEAUTY.

BESIDES THAT, THEY WORK AND THEY COOK AND THEY CLEAN

BUT WE'RE NOT THANKFUL.

WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

NOW, YOU TAKE YOUR AUNT BEE -- AS FINE A WOMAN AS EVER LIVED.

WHY SHOULDN'T SHE BE OUT ENJOYING TODAY?

MAYBE A PICNIC OR SOMETHING.

NOBODY TO TAKE HER.

AH, WELL.

MR. WHEELER, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAID'S RIGHT.

HOW'S THAT?

GO GET AUNT BEE AND TAKE HER OUT ON A LITTLE PICNIC.

I'LL PAINT THE PORCH.

I GOT SOME TIME.

I COULDN'T DO THAT.

NO. WHAT YOU SAID IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

AND I INSIST ON IT.

ANDY, YOU'RE A FINE MAN.

PAW?

HMM?

I THOUGHT MR. WHEELER WAS GONNA PAINT THE PORCH.

HE WAS.

HE SURE DON'T SEEM TO BE DOING IT, THOUGH.

WELL, I EXPECT HE'S GOT HIS MIND ON A FEW OTHER THINGS.

HEY, ANDY.

HERE'S THE AFTERNOON MAIL.

OH, HI, GEORGE.

ANYTHING INTERESTING IN THERE?

NO. JUST THE USUAL.

SAY, ANDY

YOU AIN'T FIXIN' TO SELL YOUR HOUSE, ARE YOU?

NO. WE'RE JUST SPRUCIN' IT UP A LITTLE.

WELL, I WISH YOU'D DO A FELLA A FAVOR AND TAKE IT EASY.

YOU'RE GONNA GET US MEN IN TROUBLE

DOING ALL THAT ROOFIN', AND PAINTIN' AND GARDENIN'.

THE MISSUS HAS BEEN AFTER ME TO DO SOME WORK.

YOU OUGHT TO DO A LITTLE WORK EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

IT'S EASY FOR YOU. YOU GOT A HANDYMAN.

OH, HI, MR. WHEELER.

HI, ANDY.

I'M JUST ON MY WAY DOWN TO THE HARDWARE STORE

TO PICK UP A LITTLE CHICKEN WIRE.

'FRAID I'M GONNA NEED A LITTLE MONEY.

OH, SURE, SURE. LET'S SEE HERE.

THAT BE ENOUGH?

OH, THAT'LL BE FINE.

YEAH. THAT'S GOOD.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

THIS IS HENRY WHEELER.

HE'S BEEN HELPING US AROUND THE PLACE.

MR. WHEELER, GEORGE BRICKER.

HOWDY.

IT'S A PLEASURE TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

I'LL SEE YOU THIS EVENING, MR. WHEELER.

THAT'S FUNNY.

HMM

YOU SAY THIS WHEELER'S A PROFESSIONAL HANDYMAN?

YEAH. WORKS ALL OVER.

LAST I BELIEVE HE WORKED OVER AT MT. PILOT. WHY?

WELL, I WAS JUST THINKING.

IF HE'S A PROFESSIONAL HANDYMAN, HOW COME HIS HANDS ARE SO SOFT?

THEY ARE?

YEAH, I NOTICED IT WHEN WE SHOOK HANDS.

YEAH?

YEAH.

WELL, I GOT TO GO NOW. SEE YOU LATER, ANDY.

YEAH. I'LL SEE YOU, GEORGE.

UH, SARAH?

GET ME SHERIFF MITCHELL OVER AT MT. PILOT, WILL YOU?

YOU MEAN "GOLD BRICK" WHEELER? HANDYMAN?

HE'S HANDY WITH EVERYTHING BUT HIS HANDS.

MOVED IN ON THE GRADYS AND STAYED FOR JUST ABOUT A WEEK!

WELL, UH, UH, TELL ME ABOUT HIM.

WELL, WHILE MARY WAS WAITIN' ON HIM HAND AND FOOT

HER POOR BROTHER BILL WAS WORKING HIMSELF TO A FRAZZLE.

OH, YES, SIR, HE'S A HANDYMAN ALL RIGHT --

HANDY WITH THE LADIES, THAT IS.

YES, SIR, PASSES OUT THE COMPLIMENTS

AND WHEN HE'S GOOD AND WELL-FED, HE JUST MOVES ON.

SAY, ANDY, HE WOULDN'T BE PAYING YOU A VISIT

AND PULLING THAT STUFF ON YOU?

OH, OF COURSE NOT.

I GOT A WHOLE LOT TOO MUCH SMART FOR THAT.

WELL, MUCH OBLIGED.

BEE SAYS YOU CAN WASH UP NOW, ANDY.

WE'LL HAVE SUPPER READY IN A FEW MINUTES.

MR. WHEELER...

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, ANDY?

OH... YOU DONE ENOUGH.

GLAD TO. GLAD TO.

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I AM

THAT YOU AND AUNT BEE HIT IT OFF SO GOOD...

UNCLE HENRY.

UNCLE HENRY?

WELL, I LET THAT SLIP, DIDN'T I?

BUT EVERYTHING'S GOING ALONG SO GOOD BETWEEN YOU AND AUNT BEE

I GUESS IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME, AIN'T IT?

HUH?

YEAH. YOU'RE A MIGHTY LUCKY MAN, UNCLE HENRY.

YOU WON'T FIND A NICER, SWEETER WOMAN

IN THE WHOLE COUNTY THAN MY AUNT BEE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH. NOW, YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER, YOU HEAR?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO TO ANYBODY

THAT HURT MY AUNT BEE.

I DON'T BLAME YOU, ANDY.

OH, BY THE WAY

ARE YOU FIGURIN' ON A BIG WEDDING...

OR JUST A SMALL AFFAIR WITH A FEW FRIENDS?

TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

I HADN'T GIVEN IT MUCH THOUGHT YET.

Aunt Bee: SUPPER'S READY!

WELL, THERE'S, UH... THERE'S NO HURRY

BUT IT'D BE KINDA NICE IF YOU'D MENTION IT TO AUNT BEE

SOMETIME TONIGHT.

WE GOT TO MAKE OUR PLANS.

SURE. SURE, ANDY.

YOU GO ON IN,

AND I'LL BE IN IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

SUPPER'S ON THE TABLE.

WHERE'S MR. WHEELER?

UH, HE HAD TO LEAVE, UM...

SUDDEN-LIKE.

HE'S GONE?

YEAH, HE JUST UP AND LEFT...

JUST LIKE THAT.

HE JUST LEFT?

BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN WAIT FOR HIS SUPPER.

COULD'VE AT LEAST SAID GOOD-BYE.

WELL...

I GUESS THAT'S HOW IT IS WITH THESE DRIFTERS.

THEY JUST GET THE URGE AND THEY GO.

PITY THEY'RE SO RESTLESS...

UNABLE TO STAY IN ONE PLACE FOR LONG.

THEY MISS SO MUCH.

WELL, WHAT ARE WE STANDING HERE TALKING FOR?

LET'S GO IN AND HAVE OUR SUPPER.

MORNING, MA'AM!

GOOD MORNING!

WOULD YOU BE NEEDING SOME KNIVES SHARPENED?

OR SCISSORS -- I DO FINE CUTLERY WORK.

YOU HAVE AN UMBRELLA THAT NEEDS MENDING?

I DO THAT, TOO.

DO YOU? I HAVE AN UMBRELLA THE HANDLE KEEPS COMING OFF.

I CAN TAKE CARE OF IT.

MY BREAD KNIFE IS GETTING A LITTLE DULL.

WELL, GOOD, I'LL GET TO WORK ON IT.

OH, SAY, IS IT ALL RIGHT

IF I PARK BESIDE YOUR HOUSE IN THE SHADE?

THEN IT'LL BE NICE AND COOL WHEN I EAT MY LUNCH IN THE TRUCK.

OH? MA'AM?

YOU EAT YOUR LUNCH IN THE TRUCK?

YES, MA'AM. WHY?

WELL, I WAS JUST THINKING INSTEAD OF

EATING YOUR LUNCH DRY LIKE THAT,

WOULDN'T YOU BE MORE COMFORTABLE

AT THE TABLE HAVING A PROPER MEAL AND SOME WARM --

ON SECOND THOUGHT, I DON'T THINK I'LL NEED THAT WORK DONE AT ALL.

HUH? THE UMBRELLA HANDLE DOESN'T COME OFF THAT OFTEN,

AND MY BREAD KNIFE CUTS JUST FINE -- THANK YOU JUST THE SAME!

GOOD DAY.
