STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

WE NEED A MAN WITH SOME KNOW-HOW

TO FINISH SHERIFF MALONEY'S TERM--

KIND OF A FELLA LIKE...

WELL, HERE.

HERE'S THE KIND OF SHERIFF WE NEED.

"ONCE AGAIN, SHERIFF ANDY TAYLOR

"HAS BEEN COMMENDED FOR OUTSTANDING LAW ENFORCEMENT.

"MAYBERRY COUNTY, FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR

"HAS THE LOWEST CRIME RATE IN THE STATE.

"IN ACCEPTING THE AWARD, SHERIFF TAYLOR SAID

IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE

WITHOUT THE HELP OF HIS EFFICIENT DEPUTY, BARNEY FIFE."

YOU SUGGESTING WE TRY TO GET TAYLOR?

OH, I'M SURE WE COULDN'T GET TAYLOR

BUT HOW ABOUT HIS DEPUTY, THIS, UH...

FIFE FELLA?

GENTLEMEN, I RECOMMEND THAT WE

MAKE HIM AN OFFER.

ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE.

Both: AYE.

BOYS, I HOPE AND TRUST THIS IS OUR NEXT SHERIFF--

BARNEY FIFE--

SO KEEN, ALERT, SHARP!

BARNEY?

WELL, LOCKED YOURSELF IN, DID YA?

LOCKED MYSELF IN.

WELL, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK.

YEAH, IT'S THE THIRD TIME.

OH, I SEE.

WE'RE GONNA PLAY THAT FUNNY LITTLE GAME

WHERE THE SHERIFF KEEPS THE DEPUTY LOCKED IN, HUH?

HOW LONG YOU GONNA KEEP ME IN THIS TIME?

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE YOUR FUN.

IF IT AMUSES YOU, GO RIGHT AHEAD.

YEAH, THE SHERIFF NEEDS HIS LAUGH.

OH, I'LL BE GLAD TO OBLIGE HIM.

I'VE GOT A LOT OF TIME.

I...

YOU OPENED IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WAS GONNA KEEP ME LOCKED IN

LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.

I WOULD, BUT I AIN'T GOT TIME TO FOOL AROUND.

IMPORTANT POLICE WORK JUST COME UP.

YOU GET A LEAD ON THE RAFE HOLLISTER CASE?

BIGGER'N THAT. BIGGER'N THAT?

WE BEEN AFTER HOLLISTER'S STILL FOR SIX MONTHS.

THIS MUST BE BIG.

IT IS. COME ON OVER TO THE DESK

AND WE'LL LAY IT OUT.

DRAW UP A CHAIR.

WHAT'S UP, ANDY?

NOW, LISTEN CAREFULLY.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE DONE JUST RIGHT

SO THERE WON'T BE ANY SLIP-UPS.

OKAY? YEAH.

JUST A MINUTE AGO

I WAS OVER BY THE POST OFFICE.

YEAH?

THERE WAS A BIG SEDAN PARKED OUT THERE.

YEAH, A BIG SEDAN.

IN FRONT OF THE SEDAN, A STATION WAGON...

STATION WAGON.

...AND IN FRONT OF THE STATION WAGON

A PICKUP TRUCK.

PICKUP TRUCK.

LET ME SEE IF I GOT MY BULLET.

YEAH, OKAY.

OKAY?

NOW, LISTEN CAREFULLY.

YEAH.

I BELIEVE THAT THE SEDAN, THE STATION WAGON

AND THE PICKUP TRUCK ARE OVER-PARKED.

TAKE THIS CHALK AND MARK 'EM.

CHECK.

WHY DON'T WE GO UP TO THE HOSPITAL SOME NIGHT

AND TAKE THE BOLTS OFF THE WHEELCHAIRS?

THAT'D BE FUNNY, TOO.

SHERIFF TAYLOR?

YES? GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

SHERIFF TAYLOR

THIS IS MAYOR PURDY OF GREENDALE.

HELLO, MAYOR.

I'M COUNCILMAN DOBBS.

COUNCILMAN, HOW ARE YA?

WE READ ABOUT YOU IN THE PAPER.

WE WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR DEPUTY

FOR WINNING THE AWARD.

OH, WELL, MUCH OBLIGED. THANK YOU KINDLY.

SHERIFF, WE'VE COME HERE

TO MAKE YOUR DEPUTY FIFE AN OFFER.

YEAH

WELL, WE'D LIKE TO HAVE BARNEY FIFE

BE SHERIFF OF GREENDALE.

HUH?

Dobbs: GREENDALE NEEDS A NEW SHERIFF

TILL THE NEXT ELECTION

AND WE'RE HOPIN' YOU'LL LET US HAVE BARNEY FIFE.

Purdy: WE'LL GIVE YOU TIME TO BREAK IN A NEW DEPUTY.

OH... WELL, UH, UH...

I MEAN, YOU-YOU JU--

YOU JUST CAN'T REPLACE BARNEY FIFE

JUST LIKE THAT.

I KNOW WE'RE ASKIN' AN AWFUL LOT, SHERIFF

BUT WE NEED A MAN LIKE FIFE.

UH, WELL, UH, I, UH...

I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROBLEM, UH, MAYOR

BUT, UH, BARNEY'S, UH, UH, UH...

WELL, BARNEY'S TOO LOYAL.

HE'S-HE'S TOO LOYAL, AND I'M, UH, I'M NOT SURE

THAT HE'D WANT TO GIVE UP THIS JOB AND...

W-WELL, I'LL, UH, I'LL TALK TO HIM FOR YOU

AND LET HIM MAKE UP HIS OWN MIND.

THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

GOOD-BYE. THANK YOU, SHERIFF.

MAYOR. COUNCILMAN.

THANK YOU KINDLY.

ME? THE HIGH SHERIFF OF GREENDALE?

UH-HUH.

WELL, THAT'S TERRIFIC.

TH-THAT'S A REAL STEP UP.

THAT'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

WELL, BARNEY, I, UH I JUST THINK YOU

OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT IT PRETTY CAREFULLY.

WELL, WHAT'S THERE TO THINK ABOUT?

WELL, SURE, I-I DON'T LIKE LEAVING YOU AND MAYBERRY

BUT THIS IS A REAL CHANCE FOR ME.

DON'T YOU THINK I OUGHT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT?

WELL, UH...

NO.

HUH?

BARNEY, SHERIFFIN'S

A LOT DIFFERENT FROM DEPUTYING

AND WHILE YOU MAKE A FINE DEPUTY

I-I THINK YOU JUST NEED MORE EXPERIENCE--

EXPERIENCE IN DEALIN' WITH PROBLEMS DIFFERENT WAYS.

SURE. YOU THINK ALL I'M GOOD FOR IS CHALKIN' TIRES

AND HELPIN' SCHOOL KIDS ACROSS THE STREET.

NO, THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL, BARNEY.

IT'S JUST THAT I NEED YOU AROUND HERE.

THEY'S A WHOLE LOT TO DO AROUND HERE.

WE AIN'T FOUND RAFE HOLLISTER'S STILL YET.

YEAH, YOU SAY THAT.

YOU DON'T THINK I CAN BE A SHERIFF.

THE FACT IS YOU NEVER HAVE BEEN A SHERIFF

AND I'M JUST TRYIN' TO TELL YOU THAT SHERIFFIN'S

A LOT DIFFERENT FROM DEPUTYING.

WELL, WE ALL GOTTA START SOMEPLACE, PAL,

AND FATE HAS PICKED GREENDALE FOR ME.

IT'S A CASE OF THE OFFICE SEEKIN' THE MAN.

NOW, IF I HAPPEN TO BE THE MAN

THEN I GOT TO ANSWER THE CALL.

BARNEY, THE FACT IS...

THE FACT IS I GOT A RENDEZVOUS WITH DESTINY.

HELLO, SARAH?

GET ME THE MAYOR OF GREENDALE.

* YA TI YA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA *

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU SO HAPPY ABOUT?

HAPPY?

WELL, I GUESS YOU'D BE HAPPY, TOO,

IF YOU'D JUST BEEN OFFERED AN IMPORTANT JOB.

YOU WERE OFFERED A JOB? WHAT IS IT?

WELL, CHAPS,

THEY'VE JUST ASKED ME TO BE

SHERIFF OF GREENDALE.

SHERIFF OF GREENDALE!

IS THAT TRUE, BARNEY?

YEAH, WELL, WHEN DUTY CALLS, A MAN'S GOT TO ANSWER IT.

GOOD! SHERIFF OF GREENDALE.

YEAH, I KNOW I'M WALKING INTO

A CESSPOOL OF VIOLENCE AND CRIME,

BUT, WELL, A MAN'S GOT TO DO WHAT HE'S GOT TO DO.

OH, COME ON, BARNEY.

GREENDALE IS JUST A QUIET LITTLE TOWN.

YEAH. IT'S QUIET ON THE OUTSIDE.

UNDERNEATH, IT'S ANOTHER DODGE CITY.

IT'S GONNA TAKE A LITTLE DOING,

BUT I'M GOING TO BRING LAW AND ORDER TO THAT TOWN.

WELL, BARNEY, THIS IS KIND OF SUDDEN-LIKE.

H

WELL, HE'S SHOOK UP, NATURALLY, BUT WHAT THE HECK,

I'LL JUST BE OVER IN THE NEXT COUNTY.

I CAN ALWAYS RUSH BACK

ANY TIME ANDY GETS HIMSELF IN A BIND.

YEAH.

YEAH, WELL, WELL, THE SHERIFF OF GREENDALE.

WELL, DON'T THANK ME, MAYOR PURDY.

IT WAS BARNEY'S DECISION TO MAKE, AND HE MADE IT.

YEAH, I EXPECT YOU'LL BE SEEING HIM IN A FEW DAYS.

RIGHT. BYE.

HIDEY-HO.

HI, PAW.

PAW?

HMM?

THE KIDS ARE SURE GONNA MISS BARNEY

DOWN AT THE SCHOOL.

HE'S THE BEST CROSSING GUARD WE EVER HAD.

YEAH, HE IS THAT.

WHY DOES BARNEY WANT TO GO TO GREENDALE, ANYWAY?

WELL, IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY, SON.

HE'LL BE SHERIFF OVER THERE.

YOU THINK BARNEY WOULD STAY IN MAYBERRY

IF HE COULD BE SHERIFF HERE?

I'M THE SHERIFF HERE.

COULDN'T YOU TAKE TURNS?

WELL, YOU SEE, IT DON'T WORK THAT WAY.

COULDN'T YOU LET HIM BE SHERIFF ONCE IN A WHILE?

NO, IT DON'T WORK THAT WAY EITHER.

YOU SEE...

HEY, WAIT A MINUTE HERE.

THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD IDEA YOU COME UP WITH.

I DID?

WHAT WAS THE IDEA I COME UP WITH?

WELL, IF WE LET BARNEY BE SHERIFF OF MAYBERRY

FOR JUST ONE DAY, HE MIGHT FIND OUT

IT'S A LOT MORE DIFFICULT THAN HE REALIZES

IN WHICH CASE, HE MIGHT FORFEIT

THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT

AND BE SATISFIED WITH THE STATUS QUO.

IS THAT THE IDEA I COME UP WITH, PAW?

THAT'S IT.

THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD IDEA I COME UP WITH, HUH?

YOU BETTER KNOW IT WAS, YOU LITTLE BUZZARD.

YOU MEAN YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME

TO BE SHERIFF OF MAYBERRY FOR A DAY?

WHY NOT? A PITCHER GETS A CHANCE TO WARM UP

BEFORE HE GOES INTO A BALL GAME.

WALKING INTO A NEW JOB

WHY, YOU COULD USE THE EXPERIENCE.

YEAH, BUT SHERIFF OF MAYBERRY?

THAT'S RIGHT. NOW, COME ON.

I'LL SWEAR YOU IN. RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU, BARNEY FIFE, SHERIFF OF MAYBERRY

SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE LAW

TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY?

I DO.

OKAY, LET ME HAVE YOUR BADGE

AND HERE'S MINE.

ALL RIGHT, NOW, PUT THEM ON.

THERE.

NOW, HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE SHERIFF?

FINE.

HOW'S IT FEEL TO BE THE DEPUTY?

OH, FINE, FINE.

WELL, WHAT'S GOING TO BE YOUR FIRST ACT AS SHERIFF?

WELL...

THERE!

THERE'S THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT FOR THE NEW SHERIFF.

I'M GOING TO CRACK THE RAFE HOLLISTER CASE.

I'M GOING TO FIND OUT

WHERE THAT STILL IS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

HOW?

WELL, YOU SEE, ANDY, WHEN YOU WAS SHERIFF

YOU APPROACHED THE RAFE HOLLISTER CASE

WITH YOUR USUAL CRACKER-BARREL POLICE METHODS.

NOW THAT I'M SHERIFF, I'LL USE

SOME HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC POLICE TECHNIQUES

AND I'M GOING TO WRAP UP THE RAFE HOLLISTER CASE.

OBSERVE.

UM, WHAT, UH...

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, BARNEY?

I'M GOING TO GET OUR TOWN DRUNK

TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DO THAT?

WELL, THE SUBCONSCIOUS TELLS THE TRUTH

WHILE YOU'RE ASLEEP, YOU SEE.

OH, OH, UH-HUH.

I'M GOING TO PROBE HIS SUBCONSCIOUS.

OH, I SEE.

OTIS...

OTIS CAMPBELL...

YOU PICKED UP SOME BOOTLEG LIQUOR.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE LIQUOR?

WHERE DID YOU GET THE LIQUOR?

OH, DARN.

YOU GOT A PENCIL? MM-HMM.

WHERE IS THE RAFE HOLLISTER STILL?

OTIS. OTIS CAMPBELL.

THIS IS YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS.

COME IN, PLEASE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHERE'S THE STILL?! I MEAN...

WHERE IS THE STILL?

YOU GO OUT ROUTE 22

PAST WAYNESBOROUGH

MEDVILLE, THORNDYKE, UPSON...

A LITTLE SLOWER, PLEASE.

...THROUGH VIRGINIA, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO...

HE'S MAKING FOR CANADA.

Otis: THEN BACK THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA

KENTUCKY, TENNESSEE, INTO MAYBERRY ON ROUTE 10.

WHERE THEN?

TO ELM STREET.

4-1-1 ELM STREET.

I GOT IT. I GOT IT!

COME ON, LET'S GO! LET'S GET THE AXES!

GO WHERE?

WELL, WHERE HE SAID, TO 411 ELM STREET.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HEY, BARNEY, DON'T THAT ADDRESS

SOUND A LITTLE FAMILIAR TO YOU?

FAMILIAR?! HOW CAN IT SOUND FAMILIAR?

HE JUST NOW TOLD IT TO ME THIS SECOND.

WHAT DO...?

WAIT A MINUTE. 411 ELM STREET?

THAT'S WHERE I LIVE!

MAYBE HIS SUBCONSCIOUS

TOOK A WRONG TURN IN OHIO.

THE OWNER OF THE STILL IS BARNEY FIFE.

GET BARNEY FIFE.

NOW, THAT'S NOT FUNNY, OTIS!

HEY, THAT'S A FINE SYSTEM YOU GOT THERE, BARNEY.

YOU OUGHT TO WRITE A BOOK ON IT.

CALL IT "THE BARNEY FIFE SUBCONSCIOUS PROBER PRIMER."

ALL RIGHT, OTIS! OUT!

OH, BARNEY.

OUT! OUT! OUT!

COME ON!

"BARNEY FIFE'S PROBER PRIMER."

OUT, OUT, OUT.

OUT, OUT, OUT.

OUT, OUT, OUT, OUT!

AND AS FOR YOU, DEPUTY,

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE THIS CHALK

AND GO OUT AND MARK SOME CARS!

OH, COME ON, NOW, BARNEY.

COME ON, OUT! OUT!

OUT!

WHERE'S THE SHERIFF?

WHERE'S ANDY? WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND?

THIS IS A MATTER FOR THE SHERIFF.

WE WANT TO SEE THE SHERIFF. YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT HIM.

HUH? YOU?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I BEEN TEMPORARILY INSTALLED AS SHERIFF,

AND I'M IN POWER TO ACT AS ONE!

DOES THAT CONVINCE YOU?

NOW, WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM? YOU GO FIRST.

WELL, DO KNOW WHAT THIS LOW

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE,

YOU MISERABLE, TROUBLEMAKIN' HYENA.

ALL RIGHT, OSGOOD. HOLD IT!

YOU'LL GET YOUR CHANCE.

I CHARGE THIS NO-GOOD SCUM WITH BREAKIN' THE LAW!

HE JUST BUILT A SPIKE FENCE ON THE PROPERTY LINE!

OH, YEAH?

YEAH! AND MY CHICKENS AIN'T GETTIN' ANY SUNLIGHT!

WELL, THAT'S WHY I PUT UP THE FENCE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

HIS HENS KEPT HOPPIN' INTO MY YARD

AND SCRATCHIN' UP MY GARDEN!

HOLD IT. HOLD IT! HOLD IT!

YOU JUST TRY IT!

YOU THINK I WON'T, HUH?

YOU TRY IT!

THAT'S IT!

INTO JAIL YOU GO!

QUIET!

BARN.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE, ANDY!

WE'RE SUING YOU, ANDY TAYLOR.

YEAH, AND WHATEVER HE'S SUING YOU FOR

I'M DOUBLING!

WE GOT LOCKED UP ON FALSE CHARGES!

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. HO-HO-HOLD IT.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?

IT'S A COMPLICATED CASE.

IT'S LIABLE TO DRAG OUT IN THE COURTS FOR YEARS.

I FOUND A SIMILAR ONE IN WILLOUGHBY v. PERKINS.

LISTEN TO THIS.

"PRESIDING JUDGE DECIDED ON DEFACTO MISDEMEANOR.

"DISMISSED THE PLAINTIFF'S GUILT

PRO QUO ARGUMENT AND RULED SINE NE MARA."

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?

I THINK YOU'RE A NUT!

HEY, WAIT. NOW, WAIT. WAIT. NOW, HOLD IT.

NOW, SUPPOSE YOU JUST TELL ME

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.

HE BUILT AN ILLEGAL FENCE ON THE PROPERTY LINE

BLOCKING THE SUNLIGHT FROM MY LAYING HENS.

HIS DARN HENS KEPT SCRATCHING UP MY YARD

AND I DON'T HAVE TO PUT UP FOR IT.

THEY AIN'T HURTIN' HIS YARD!

NOW, HOLD IT!

YOU SAY HE BUILT THE FENCE

AND IT'S BLOCKING THE SUNLIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT, AND THE LAW SAYS...

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. NOW, THERE'S...

THERE'S ALL KINDS OF FENCES.

NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME

IF THAT FENCE WAS MADE OUT OF CHICKEN WIRE

WHY, THEM HENS WOULD STILL BE GETTING SUNLIGHT

AND EVERYBODY'D BE HAPPY, RIGHT?

CHICKEN WIRE, HUH?

YEAH.

NOW, HUEY, YOU DON'T OBJECT

TO A CHICKEN WIRE FENCE, DO YOU?

WELL... NO.

GOOD. THEN THE PROBLEM'S SETTLED, AND EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

I KNEW IF YOU GOT BACK

EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.

YOU GET MY VOTE BACK.

WHEN ANDY GOT HERE EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.

GOOD DECISION, SHERIFF.

I'M GLAD YOU SHOWED UP WHEN YOU DID.

CHICKEN WIRE.

NOW, WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT?

YEAH, WHY DIDN'T YOU?

BYE, ANDY. THANKS AGAIN.

I'LL SEE YOU.

SHERIFF.

HA!

SEE YOU, ANDY. ALL RIGHT, BOYS.

THANK YOU AGAIN. ACT NICE.

TRY TO GET ALONG WITH ONE ANOTHER.

THERE YOU ARE, BARNEY.

RIGHT THERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE

OF WHAT I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU.

AS A SHERIFF, YOU'VE GOT TO USE DIFFERENT TACTICS

AND THAT TAKES EXPERIENCE.

NOW, YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU, BARNEY?

SHERIFFING'S JUST A LOT DIFFERENT FROM DEPUTYING.

NOW... NOW, NOW

DON'T TAKE ON LIKE THAT, BARNEY.

YOU'RE STILL THE BEST DEPUTY THAT EVER WAS.

YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU, BARN?

I NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT DEPUTY BARNEY FIFE.

NOW, BARNEY, DON'T LET A SILLY LITTLE THING

LIKE WHAT HAPPENED DESTROY YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF.

BARNEY!

RAFE HOLLISTER.

YUP. SHERIFF, COME TO GIVE MYSELF UP.

WELL, THAT SAVES US BOTH

A LITTLE WEAR 'N' TEAR, DON'T IT?

WHAT HAPPENED? YOU FORGET WHERE YOU MOVED YOUR STILL?

NO, IT'S THE OLD WOMAN.

SHE GOT TIRED OF MOVING AROUND BACK UP THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS

AND SHE WANTS ME TO SETTLE DOWN AND START FARMING AGAIN.

WHEN YOU COME DOWN TO IT, I GUESS PLANTIN' CORN

DOES MAKE MORE SENSE THAN BOTTLING IT.

IT DOES, IT DOES.

HOW IS MRS. HOLLISTER?

MIDDLIN', MIDDLIN'.

SHE STOMPED HER TOE AND COMPLAINS ABOUT IT A LOT

BUT OTHERWISE, SHE'S FINE.

UH-HUH. WELL, YOU GIVE HER MY VERY BEST.

GLAD YOU COME ON IN.

I FIGURED IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME

'FORE EITHER YOU OR YOUR DEPUTY

CAUGHT UP TO ME ANYWAY, SO I COME ON IN.

I GUESS YOU GOT IT FIGURED ABOUT RIGHT.

UH...

RAFE? I, UH...

I WANT YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.

HMM?

I WANT YOU TO GO OUT AND FIND

MY DEPUTY, BARNEY FIFE AND GIVE YOURSELF UP TO HIM.

YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?

I WANT YOU TO FIND BARNEY FIFE.

I KNOW YOU DON'T KNOW HIM

BUT YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HIM BY HIS UNIFORM

AND I WANT YOU TO GIVE YOURSELF UP TO HIM.

WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT FOR?

IF YOU'LL DO THAT

I'LL MAKE IT JUST AS COMFORTABLE AS I CAN WHILE YOU'RE HERE.

HUH?

YES, AND AUNT BEE

SHE'LL BRING YOU SOME CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

AND SWEET TATER PIE FOR SUPPER...

SHE WILL? SHE WILL.

I'LL DO IT. GOOD.

NOW, LIKE I SAY YOU'LL RECOGNIZE HIM BY HIS UNIFORM

AND BE SURE, BE SURE AND DON'T SAY ANYTHING

ABOUT COMING BY HERE FIRST.

ALL RIGHT.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS?

AND SWEET TATER PIE.

I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN MYSELF UP YEARS AGO.

BARNEY FIFE?

I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU A MINUTE.

I AIN'T IN THE MOOD FOR TALKIN' TODAY.

WELL, THIS IS IMPORTANT. YOU SEE...

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR HARD-LUCK STORIES.

HEY, THERE!

DON'T YOU KNOW ANY BETTER

THAN TO RIDE YOUR BICYCLE ON THE SIDEWALK, SON?

MY MOTHER WON'T LET ME RIDE IT ON THE STREET.

LOOK, I GOT TO TALK TO YOU.

IF YOU DON'T GO AWAY

I'M GOING TO LOCK YOU UP AS A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

NOW, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF EVERYBODY RODE THEIR BICYCLES

ON THE SIDEWALK?

THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY ROOM TO WALK.

NOW, YOU GO PICK A QUIET STREET LIKE WILLOW OR WOODS WAY.

OKAY.

ARE YOU STILL HERE?

I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING, MISTER.

WHY DON'T YOU GO PESTER SOMEBODY ELSE?

OH, I SHOULD HAVE STAYED UP IN THE HILLS.

HEY!

YOU COME BACK HERE.

WE GOT LAWS IN THIS TOWN AGAINST JAYWALKIN'.

YOU REALLY ASKED FOR IT THIS TIME.

LET ME SEE SOME IDENTIFICATION.

THINK YOU CAN FLAUNT THE LAWS IN THIS TOWN.

WHAT'S THAT LAST NAME THERE?

MOVE IT, MOVE IT!

BOY, ANDY, I GOT US A HOT ONE THIS TIME.

KNOW WHO THIS IS?

WHO? RAFE HOLLISTER.

RAFE HOLLISTER?

GREAT WORK, BARNEY.

YOU BROUGHT IN RAFE HOLLISTER?

YEAH, BROUGHT HIM IN WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT.

ALL RIGHT, HOLLISTER, COME ON, MOVE IT!

COME ON, PICK 'EM UP!

THAT CELL OVER THERE!

COME ON, STEP LIVELY! GET IN THERE!

I DECLARE, BARNEY, THERE YOU ARE

AS COOL AS THE CENTER SEED OF A CUCUMBER

AND YOU JUST BROUGHT IN

THE MOST WANTED MAN IN THE WHOLE COUNTY.

WELL, IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

NO, BOY, THAT THERE IS REAL SHERIFFIN'

BUT I MEAN REAL SHERIFFIN'.

WELL...

YEAH, AND SPEAKIN' OF THAT, I...

I GUESS WE'LL BE LOSING YOU TO GREENDALE NOW.

HELLO, SARAH?

GET ME MAYOR PURDY.

I MEAN, NOW THAT YOU'VE HAD A TASTE OF SHERIFFIN'

AND YOU LIKE IT...

HELLO? MAYOR PURDY?

BARNEY FIFE.

UH, UH, LISTEN, MAYOR, I'M AFRAID I'M NOT GOING

TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT SHERIFFIN' JOB AFTER ALL.

WELL, YOU SEE, WE'RE HAVING

TROUBLE WITH BOOTLEGGERS OVER HERE

AND I GOT TO GO OUT AND HUNT THEM DOWN.

WELL, I WOULDN'T WANT TO LEAVE SHERIFF TAYLOR HUNG UP, YOU SEE.

AND... WELL, YOU SEE

THE TRUTH IS, MAYOR... MAYBERRY NEEDS ME.

I SURE AM GLAD YOU DECIDED TO STAY, BARNEY.

I TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DONE IF YOU'D HAVE LEFT ME.

OH, FORGET IT.

YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT'S DUE.

I MEAN, YOU BROUGHT IN RAFE HOLLISTER SINGLE-HANDED,

AND I BET YOU'RE THE BEST DEPUTY THERE IS IN THE WHOLE STATE.

OH, WELL.

IT'S ALL IN A DAY'S WORK.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. IT'S GOOD.

I'M JUST DOING MY JOB.

YEAH.

LOCKED YOURSELF IN, DID YOU?

UH, YEAH, I LOCKED MYSELF IN.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

THE HIGH SHERIFF LOCKING HIMSELF IN.

ALL RIGHT, BARNEY, HOW ABOUT LETTING ME OUT?

THE KEYS --

I KNOW WHERE THE KEY IS.

I'LL LET YOU OUT, ANDY.

YEAH, BUT FIRST, I GOT SOME WORK TO DO.

OH, I GOT TO PUT THIS OVER THERE.

AND THEN I GOT SOME CALLS TO MAKE AND SOME FILING TO DO.

YEAH, I'LL LET YOU OUT.

LET'S SEE NOW. WHAT DAY IS THIS, ANDY?

OH, YES.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I'LL JUST --
