STARRING ANDY GRIFFITH...

WITH RONNY HOWARD...

ALSO STARRING DON KNOTTS.

I GOT A BITE, PA.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. REEL HIM IN.

REEL HIM IN EASY.

BRING HIM RIGHT ON IN.

BRING HIM RIGHT ON IN.

OOH, YOU GOT HIM HOOKED GOOD.

BRING HIM RIGHT ON IN.

WHEW! WOW.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT FISH.

HE'S A GOOD ONE, AIN'T HE, PA?

GOOD? I BELIEVE NEVER IN THE HISTORY

HAS ANYBODY YOUR SIZE AND WEIGHT

LANDED A FISH THIS BIG.

YOU MEAN IT, PA?

YOU KNOW, IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER

I WOULD SWEAR THAT YOU WAS KIN TO ISAAC WALTON.

WHO'S HE?

OH, WHEN IT COMES TO FISHING,

HE'S THE MAN THAT WROTE THE BOOK.

I BET HE WASN'T BETTER THAN YOU.

NOBODY IS BETTER THAN YOU.

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU REMEMBER JONAH?

HE CAUGHT HISSELF A WHALE.

I THOUGHT THE WHALE SWALLOWED HIM.

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

WHEN SOMEBODY CATCHES A FISH FROM THE INSIDE, THAT'S FISHING.

AW, YOU'RE JUST FOOLING, PA.

I BET YOU'RE THE BEST FISHERMAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

I'LL BET YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

I BET YOU'RE THE BEST FISHING PARTNER IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

WHAT'S SAY WE GO TO SHORE AND HAVE US

THE BEST FISH FRY IN THE WHOLE WORLD?

THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

I'M HUNGRY, TOO. LET'S GO.

THAT FISH SURE WAS GOOD TO EAT, HUH, PA?

YEAH, BOY.

MM-MMM.

PA?

HMM?

WE SURE DO HAVE A LOT OF FUN TOGETHER, DON'T WE?

WE DO THAT.

IT'S ALWAYS GONNA BE LIKE THIS, AIN'T IT?

MM-HMM. IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, IT WILL.

PA, LET'S MAKE A PACT.

A WHAT?

A PACT. THEN WE'LL BE BLOOD BROTHERS

AND WE'LL NEVER BE SEPARATED.

OH, WELL, NOW. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL GOOD IDEA.

YES, SIR. HOW YOU GO ABOUT THAT?

WELL, THE FIRST STEP IS, WE CUT OUR WRISTS WITH A KNIFE.

WHOA. UH-UH. NO, NO.

NO... MAYBE WE BETTER START WITH THE SECOND STEP.

BUT THAT'S THE WAY

THE INDIANS DID IT ON TELEVISION.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, TONTO --

WE'LL JUST FIGURE US OUT ANOTHER WAY.

HERE, HERE. THIS OUGHT TO DO.

THINK THAT'LL WORK AS GOOD, PA?

BETTER. THESE HERE'S THE ASHES

THAT FRIED THAT FAMOUS FISH YOU CAUGHT.

LET ME HAVE YOUR WRIST.

NOW, MAKE A BIG, OLD "X" RIGHT THERE.

MAKE A BIG, OLD "X" RIGHT THERE.

NOW WE GOT TO RUB 'EM TOGETHER.

OH, RUB 'EM TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT.

THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SPEECH.

YOU KNOW, TO SEAL THE PACT.

OH, SPEECH, SPEECH.

OKAY.

IN THE NAME OF BOOJUM SNARK, SPIRIT OF THE FIRE

AND BRILLIN TRANT, SPIRIT OF THE WATER

AND GROVELY BARCH, SPIRIT OF THE AIR

I HEREBY DECLARE US BLOOD BROTHERS

NEVER TO BE SEPARATED FOREVER AND EVER.

HOW'S THAT?

GREAT.

FROM NOW ON, PA,

IF YOU GET INTO TROUBLE, I'LL HELP YOU.

I'LL EXPECT YOU TO.

YOU'LL HELP ME, TOO, WON'T YOU?

OF COURSE I WILL.

AND DON'T FORGET TO CALL ME WHEN YOU NEED HELP.

OKAY.

WELL, NOW,

I'VE SEEN SHARP-LOOKING NURSES, BUT I BELIEVE

YOU'RE THE SHARPEST LOOKING THAT I'VE EVER SEEN WALKING

AROUND ON THE STREET HERE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, ANDY. HI, OPIE.

YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN THE FISH I CAUGHT.

YEAH

ABOUT LIKE THAT, BUT REAL BIG FOR A BOY MY SIZE AND WEIGHT.

PROBABLY SET A NEW RECORD FOR EIGHT- YEAR-OLD BOYS.

THEN WE FRIED HIM ON A CAMPFIRE THAT PA MADE!

GOLLY, IT WAS GOOD!

THAT'S WONDERFUL, OPIE.

I JUST LOVE THINGS LIKE THAT.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKED TO FISH.

YOU NEVER ASKED ME.

I'M ASKING YOU NOW. OPIE AND ME'S GOING AGAIN TOMORROW.

HOW ABOUT YOU GOING WITH US?

I'D LOVE IT, IF IT WOULDN'T BE INTRUDING.

WELL, THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOU TO INTRUDE.

YOU'LL GIVE US SOMETHING PRETTY TO LOOK AT.

WE'LL COME BY AND PICK YOU UP 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL BE READY.

GOOD.

BYE-BYE.

BYE. 7:00 NOW.

RIGHT-O.

PA?

HUH?

YOU THINK SHE REALLY WANTS TO GO?

OH, SURE. SURE, SHE DOES.

MAYBE 7:00's A LITTLE EARLY FOR HER TO BE GETTING UP.

OH, I DON'T THINK SO.

NO, WHAT I MEAN IS, MAYBE SHE WON'T HAVE TOO MUCH FUN.

SURE, SHE WILL. SHE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.

WE'LL HAVE A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN, TOO,

HAVING A PRETTY GIRL LIKE MISS PEGGY ALONG,

WON'T WE, BUDDY, HUH?

WELL, HERE WE ARE.

OH, ANDY, IT'S BEAUTIFUL HERE --

JUST BEAUTIFUL.

OH, YEAH. THIS HERE'S A VERY SPECIAL PLACE.

NOW, LET ME EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO YOU ABOUT THE BOAT

THAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW.

SEE, AS LONG AS YOU'RE SETTING RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE,

YOU'RE DOING JUST FINE.

BUT IF YOU STAND UP, HERE'S WHAT'LL HAPPEN.

SEE, THE BOAT WILL JUST SHAKE.

ANDY! ANDY!

STOP! ANDY! ANDY!

NOW WE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE BOAT, RIGHT?

RIGHT.

LET'S GET TO SOME SERIOUS FISHING. HERE'S YOUR POLE.

AND LET'S BAIT UP.

HERE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER? DON'T YOU LIKE WORMS?

ICK.

WELL, LET ME FIND YOU

A NICE, BIG WORM.

OH, LOOK AT THAT.

ISN'T HE A BEAUT?

YOU LIKE IT?

I LIKE HIM.

HE LIKES YOU.

I REALLY LIKE HIM!

WELL, SAY HELLO. HELLO!

HE SAYS HELLO, TOO.

HERE, I'LL BAIT IT FOR YOU.

NOW, JUST PUT THE WORM ON LIKE THAT

PUT HIM RIGHT IN THE WATER.

NOW CATCH A FISH.

I GOT A BITE, PA!

GOOD, OPE. REEL HIM IN.

YOU GOT ONE, TOO.

W

WELL, FIRST SIT DOWN.

ALL RIGHT.

NOW TURN YOUR POLE OVER.

IT'S A BIG ONE, PA!

GOOD, OPE. REEL HIM ON IN. COME ON. EASY.

EVEN BIGGER THAN THE ONE YESTERDAY.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT.

WOW. WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE SIZE

OF THAT MONSTER.

LOOKIT THERE, OPE.

AND IT'S PEGGY'S FIRST TIME OUT, TOO.

DON'T TELL ME

OH, IT IS. THAT'S BEGINNER'S LUCK.

BETTER NOT TELL THE FOLKS UPTOWN

YOU CATCH BIGGER FISH THAN OPIE AND ME.

THEY'LL LAUGH AT US. HE'S A BEAUT.

5 OR 10 PEOPLE COULD EAT OFF OF HIM.

I'LL CALL BACK A LITTLE LATER

TO SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED.

BYE, NOW.

OPIE, FINISH YOUR SUPPER.

YOU'VE HARDLY TOUCHED IT.

AUNT BEE, WILL YOU FIX MY TIE?

ME FOOLING WITH IT, MY COLLAR'S GONNA BE BLACKER THAN TAR.

HAD A GOOD TIME TODAY, DID YOU?

I DID.

PEGGY'S FUN.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING-- SHE DON'T LIKE WORMS.

YOU DIDN'T PUT A WORM ON HER?

NO, I WAS JUST PICKING AT HER.

REMEMBER THE WORM, OPE?

HEY, OPE?!

OPE, YOU IN THE LIVING ROOM?

YEAH, PA.

I DON'T FEEL SO GOOD.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

OH, I RECKON HE STUFFED HIMSELF THIS AFTERNOON.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

I BETTER HAVE A LOOK AT HIM ANYHOW.

WELL, I'M SURE THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM.

WHERE'S IT HURT, SON?

ALL OVER.

HOW ABOUT HERE?

MM-HMM.

HERE?

THERE, TOO.

LET'S SEE YOUR TONGUE.

OH, THERE ISN'T A THING IN THE WORLD

WRONG WITH HIM; MAYBE A LITTLE UPSET STOMACH.

UH, AUNT BEE...

YOU DON'T RECKON IT COULD BE HIS APPENDIX?

I'VE HEARD HOW SOMETIMES...

OH, ANDY, YOU'RE GETTING SKITTISH AS AN OLD WOMAN.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

DON'T YOU THINK I'D KNOW WHEN HE ISN'T WELL?

IF IT ISN'T EXCITEMENT, IT'S SOMETHING HE ATE.

GO ALONG AND ENJOY YOURSELF AND LEAVE HIM TO ME.

WELL...

Opie: PA?

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE, OPE.

I'LL FEEL BETTER IF I STAY HERE.

I'LL JUST CALL PEGGY AND TELL HER I CAN'T MAKE IT.

OH, ANDY.

MISS SARAH, RING ME PEGGY McMILLAN'S HOUSE, WILL YOU?

ANDY, THIS IS UNNECESSARY, ABSOLUTELY UNNECESSARY.

WELL, MAYBE SO, BUT I'LL FEEL BETTER IF I STAY HERE.

PEGGY, LISTEN, I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO CALL YOU

AT THE LAST MINUTE LIKE THIS,

BUT OPIE'S NOT FEELING GOOD

AND I JUST DON'T BELIEVE I WANT TO LEAVE HIM.

NO, NO. THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS.

IT'S JUST THAT I-I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE LEAVING.

I TELL YOU WHAT...

SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THIS IS THE SHERIFF'S SON, OPIE TAYLOR, SPEAKIN'.

NO, SIR, HE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW.

HE SAID HE'D BE BACK IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

OKAY. BYE.

OPIE.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE SICK.

ME? I'M NOT SICK.

WELL, YOU WERE SICK LAST NIGHT, WEREN'T YOU?

MNH-MNH.

I WONDER WHY YOUR...

WHERE IS YOUR FATHER NOW, OPIE?

OUT ON A CASE. HE'LL BE BACK LATER.

WELL, WOULD YOU TELL HIM THAT, UH...

NO, I BETTER WRITE IT OUT.

UH...

I HAVE SOME THINGS TO DO LATER...

AND I'D LIKE HIM TO MEET ME IN FRONT OF THE DRUGSTORE

INSTEAD OF PICKING ME UP AT HOME.

WOULD YOU BE SURE THAT HE GETS THIS NOTE?

SEE YA LATER, OPIE.

BYE.

BYE-BYE.

HELLO?

OH, PEGGY.

NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN ANDY SINCE NOON

WHEN I BROUGHT HIM HIS LUNCH.

OH, I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO PICK YOU UP

WHEN HE WAS THROUGH AT THE OFFICE.

OH, DEAR.

I HAVEN'T ANY IDEA WHERE HE MIGHT BE.

OF COURSE, IF HE CALLS, I'LL TELL HIM WHERE YOU ARE.

BUT, PEGGY, YOU JUST WAIT THERE.

I'M SURE HE'LL BE BY IN A MINUTE OR TWO.

BYE NOW.

OH.

SARAH, GET ME KATHERINE PALMER, WOULD YOU, PLEASE?

HELLO, KATHERINE. HOW DO YOU FEEL?

NO, NO, NOW, DON'T BE SILLY.

I'VE SAVED YOU A LITTLE SUPPER

AND I'LL BRING IT RIGHT OVER.

BYE NOW.

OPIE, WOULD YOU BE ALL RIGHT FOR A LITTLE WHILE

WHILE I GO OVER TO MRS. PALMER'S?

SURE, AUNT BEE.

OPIE, IF YOUR FATHER CALLS, DON'T FORGET TO TELL HIM

THAT PEGGY IS WAITING FOR HIM IN FRONT OF THE DRUGSTORE.

YOU WON'T FORGET, WILL YOU?

NO, MA'AM.

SARAH, GET ME MY HOUSE.

HELLO.

Andy: Hello. Opie?

OH, HI, PA.

Hey, Ope, did Miss Peggy call the house tonight?

I DIDN'T TALK TO HER, PA.

OH. WELL, LET ME TALK TO AUNT BEE.

SHE'S NOT HERE RIGHT NOW. SHE HAD TO GO OUT FOR A WHILE.

WELL, I GUESS YOU'D KNOW IF SHE TALKED TO PEGGY.

I'LL SEE YOU IN A LITTLE BIT.

OKAY. BYE, PA.

OPIE?

OPIE?!

ANDY!

DIDN'T YOU MEET PEGGY?

I DID NOT.

I'VE BEEN WAITIN' IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE...

WELL, SHE'S WAITING FOR YOU IN FRONT OF THE DRUGSTORE.

IN FRONT OF THE DRUGSTORE?

WELL...

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

VERY FUNNY, ANDY.

I'LL BET YOU JUST DIED LAUGHING,

THINKING OF ME STANDING ON THE STREET CORNER FOR HOURS.

I'M SORRY. IT WAS A MISTAKE.

IT CERTAINLY WAS A MISTAKE

FOR ME TO ALLOW YOU

TO BREAK ANOTHER DATE WITH ME.

WAS OPIE SICK AGAIN TONIGHT?

NO.

AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT LYING THIS TIME.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THIS MEANS.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ME, JUST SAY SO

INSTEAD OF MAKING UP RIDICULOUS EXCUSES.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

YOU CERTAINLY DO!

NOW, TWICE IN A ROW IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH.

WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR, SHERIFF,

AND NEVER CALL ME AGAIN, EVER?!

PA.

HUH?

OH, HI, OPE.

I THOUGHT YOU WAS IN BED.

IT'S ALL MY FAULT, PA.

WHAT'S YOUR FAULT?

EVERYTHING.

PEGGY'S MAD AT YOU BECAUSE OF ME.

'CAUSE OF YOU?

BECAUSE I TOLD HER

THAT I REALLY WASN'T SICK LAST NIGHT AND I WASN'T.

I WAS JUST PUTTIN' ON.

THEN TODAY SHE GAVE ME A MESSAGE

AND I THREW IT AWAY.

THAT'S WHY YOU COULDN'T FIND HER.

AND I DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT SHE CALLED TONIGHT.

WELL...

YOU GOT YOURSELF A PECK OF TROUBLE, BOY,

UNLESS YOU GOT SOME MIGHTY GOOD REASONS FIGURED OUT.

I'M SCARED.

SCARED OF WHAT?

WELL...

IT USED TO BE JUST YOU AND ME.

THEN PEGGY CAME

AND YOU ALWAYS WANT HER ALONG NOW

AND I'M LEFT OUT.

AND SOMEDAY MAYBE YOU WON'T WANT ME ANYMORE.

COME HERE A MINUTE.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHIN', OPE,

AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN REAL CAREFUL

'CAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT.

YOU'RE MY YOUNG'UN

AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYBODY

IN THE WHOLE WORLD

AND NOTHING OR NOBODY CAN EVER CHANGE THAT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TELL YOU

JUST HOW MUCH YOUMEAN TO ME

'CAUSE YOU'RE A PART OF ME.

THEN WHY DO YOU WANT PEGGY AROUND SO MUCH?

WELL, BECAUSE SHE'S... SHE'S FUN TO BE WITH

AND SHE'S NICE TO HAVE FOR A FRIEND.

BUT YOU GOT A GOOD FRIEND.

YOU GOT BARNEY.

WELL, THAT'S... THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

YOU MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS RIGHT NOW,

BUT SOMETIME YOU WILL.

YOU SEE, OPE, A MAN NEEDS THE COMPANIONSHIP

OF A FINE, YOUNG WOMAN--

SOMEBODY HE CAN BE WITH AND TALK TO...

TALK ABOUT PRETTY THINGS, YOU KNOW, TAKE PLACES...

TO A PICTURE SHOW AND TO A DANCE AND...

NOW, CAN YOU SEE ME TAKIN' BARNEY TO A DANCE?

I CAN'T TAKE BARNEY TO A DANCE.

HE'S TOO SHORT.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIME I... I MIGHT GET MARRIED AGAIN.

IT MIGHT NOT BE PEGGY, BUT IT'LL BE SOMEBODY.

IT'LL BE SOMEBODY I LIKE A LOT...

SOMEBODY I LOVE.

BUT NOTHING OR NOBODY WILL EVER CHANGE THINGS

BETWEEN ME AND YOU

BECAUSE YOU'RE MY SON.

AND WE'RE BUDDIES.

RIGHT?

RIGHT.

PA?

HMM?

CAN WE GO FISHIN' TOMORROW?

I DON'T KNOW WHY NOT.

THANKS, PA.

YEAH. GET ON OFF TO BED.

OH, OPE?

YEAH, PA?

THIS TIME, MAYBE YOU BETTER TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES.

HUH?

ALL RIGHT, SARAH. THANK YOU.

STILL NO ANSWER, HMM?

I RECKON SHE REALLY DON'T WANNA TALK TO ME.

TRIED ALL LAST NIGHT AND AGAIN TODAY.

WHERE'S OPIE?

HE'S GONE.

WE WAS SUPPOSED TO GO FISHIN'.

WELL, THAT'S FUNNY.

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME.

JUST GOBBLED HIS FOOD AND RAN.

HMM.

MAYBE I BETTER GO ON OVER TO PEGGY'S HOUSE.

COME ON, PA, LET'S GO FISHIN'.

IT'S GETTIN' LATE.

I'VE BEEN INVITED.

AS LONG AS SHE'S GONNA SPEND SO MUCH TIME WITH US,

I FIGURE WE BETTER TEACH HER HOW TO HANDLE WORMS

WITHOUT GOING "ICK."

YOU DON'T MIND?

NAH.

BLOOD BROTHER.

OH. BLOOD BROTHER.

WELL, WE BETTER GET ON OUT TO THAT LAKE

BEFORE THE FISH LEAVE THE POND, HADN'T WE?

All: * WELL, GET ON HOME, CINDY, CINDY *

GOOD!

WONDERFUL, ANDY. SING ANOTHER ONE.

NO, IN A MINUTE.

LET'S GET A LITTLE MOUTHFUL TO EAT HERE. MMM!

AIN'T THIS FUN, MISS PEGGY?

OH, IT SURE IS, OPIE.

YOU LIKE PA? SURE, I DO.

DO YOU LOVE HIM?

WELL -- UH, OPE --

YOU SEE, PA NEEDS THE COMPANIONSHIP

OF A FINE, YOUNG WOMAN--

SOMEONE HE CAN TAKE TO A DANCE.

HE CAN'T TAKE BARNEY TO A DANCE.

NO, BARNEY'S TOO SHORT.

OH, I SEE.

YOU SEE, MISS PEGGY,

SOMEDAY PA MIGHT GET MARRIED AGAIN.

AND IT'LL BE SOMEBODY THAT HE LIKES A LOT...

SOMEBODY HE LOVES.

AND IT MIGHT BE YOU.

OF COURSE, IT MIGHT BE YOU AND IT MIGHT NOT, BUT...

YEP, WHAT WE NEED'S A LITTLE BIT OF MUSIC.

A LITTLE MUSIC IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED.

* YES, GET ON HOME, CINDY, CINDY *

* GET ON HOME

* YES, GET ON HOME, CINDY, CINDY *

* AND, OPIE, HUSH YOUR MOUTH *

* GET ON HOME, CINDY, CINDY *

* GET ON HOME, GET ON HOME *

* GET ON HOME, OPIE, OPIE *

* HOW 'BOUT YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH? *
