DADBURNIT!

DADBURNIT, DADBURNIT!

OOH!

JUST ROTTEN LUCK, THAT'S ALL IT IS.

WHAT, GOOB?

WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE THIS WEEK?

I DON'T KNOW.

COULD HAVE BEEN LAST WEEK.

COULD BE NEXT WEEK, BUT, NO, IT'S GOT TO BE THIS WEEK.

YOU GOT TO ADMIT, IT'S A TOUGH BREAK.

WHAT?

WELL, WHAT I BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT.

YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME ANYTHING.

OH.

WELL, THIS IS THE WEEK I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TROUT FISHING.

OH, YEAH.

YOUR VACATION.

YEAH, AND WALLY FIGURED

HE COULD GET A REPLACEMENT FOR ME

AT THE FILLING STATION,

BUT NOW HE CAN'T GET NOBODY.

YOU MEAN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CALL OFF THE TRIP?

WELL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE IT.

OH.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYBODY, DO YOU, ANDY?

GEE, I DON'T KNOW.

HOW ABOUT LOU JORDAN?

HE'S THE ONE I'M SUPPOSED TO GO ON THE TRIP WITH.

OH.

WELL, HOW ABOUT HORACE FLOOD?

TOO BUSY STUDYING ELECTRONICS AT NIGHT

AND WORKING AT THE DUMP DURING THE DAY.

OH, YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

GEE, GOOBER, I CAN'T THINK OF ANYBODY.

I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY.

IF YOU SHOULD THINK OF SOMEBODY,

I'LL BE OVER AT FLORA'S THIS EVENING.

OH, YOU'RE GONNA GO OVER...

WELL.

GOOD.

SHE'S GONNA COOK A FAREWELL DINNER FOR ME,

THINKING I'M LEAVING.

OH, YEAH.

I GUESS NOW IT'LL JUST HAVE TO BE A REGULAR DINNER.

WELL, BETTER THAN NOTHING. YEAH.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU.

HI, GOOBER.

HEY, FLORA.

SWEETS FOR A SWEET.

OH, THANK YOU, GOOBER.

THANK YOU, TOO.

I'M ROASTING A TURKEY.

I WANT IT TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL

WITH YOU GOING AWAY.

WELL, DON'T LOOK LIKE I'M GOING.

WHAT?!

CAN'T FIND ANYBODY TO TAKE MY PLACE.

OH, THAT'S A SHAME.

OH. WELL, I GUESS YOU MUST BE PRETTY HARD TO REPLACE.

WALLY WAS EVEN WILLING TO FORGET THE MECHANICAL END

BUT NOW WE CAN'T FIND ANYBODY JUST TO PUMP GAS.

OH, AND YOU WERE SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

YEAH. WELL, I GUESS YOU HAVE TO GET USED

TO DISAPPOINTMENTS IN LIFE.

GOOBER?

HUH?

I KNOW WHO COULD TAKE YOUR PLACE.

WHO? ME.

YOU.

YOU?!

WELL, WHY NOT?

I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

BUT, FLORA, YOU'RE A GIRL!

WELL, I'VE HEARD OF GIRLS WORKING IN FILLING STATIONS.

OH, I COULD DO IT, GOOBER, I KNOW I COULD.

NO. I COULDN'T LET YOU DO THAT.

YOU'RE TOO DELICATE FOR WORK LIKE THAT.

OH, BUT, GOOBER, I WOULDN'T MIND AT ALL.

I'D ENJOY IT.

I'D BE DOING SOMETHING FOR YOU.

WELL...

PLEASE?

I'LL ASK WALLY.

A GIRL?!

WALLY, SHE CAN AT LEAST PUMP GAS

AND SHE KNOWS HOW TO HANDLE CUSTOMERS.

SHE WORKED AT THE DINER.

GOOBER, SELLING GASOLINE AND HAMBURGERS

AIN'T THE SAME.

I'D HANDLE THE PLACE MYSELF FOR A WEEK

BUT I STILL GOT MY LAUNDRY BUSINESS TO LOOK AFTER.

I KNOW, BUT A EMPLOYEE OUGHT TO HAVE A VACATION

EVERY NOW AND THEN, TO FISH AND REST.

I DON'T WANT TO BURN MYSELF OUT.

I REMEMBER MY DADDY TELLING ME A PERSON'S ONLY GOT ONE BODY

AND HE WAS RIGHT, TOO.

OKAY, GOOBER, OKAY.

BRING HER IN, AND YOU CAN LEAVE TOMORROW.

HEY, THANKS, WALLY.

I'LL GO TELL HER.

HEY, ANDY.

SEE YOU GOT THE ROD.

HEY, OPE.

HI.

THERE YOU ARE.

THANKS.

WELL, LOU'S OUTSIDE WAITING.

OKAY.

ANDY, COULD I ASK YOU A FAVOR?

WHAT?

IT'S ABOUT FLORA WORKING OVER THERE.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD

DROP BY THE FILLING STATION EVERY SO OFTEN

IN CASE THERE'S ANY PROBLEMS. SURE.

I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE TROUBLE.

OH, I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT, GOOB.

I 'SPECT BUSINESS WILL FALL OFF WHILE YOU'RE GONE.

YEAH. I'VE GOT A BIG PERSONAL FOLLOWING, YOU KNOW.

YEAH.

WELL, I GOT TO...

OKAY.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

BYE.

MMM, YES.

THAT GOOBER WRITES A NICE LETTER.

YES, HE DOES, DOESN'T HE?

DOESN'T SEEM LIKE HE'S BEEN GONE FOR THREE DAYS.

NO. TIME FLIES, DOESN'T IT?

IT DOES.

READ IT AGAIN.

IT SAYS, "DEAR ANDY AND EVERYBODY,

"I ONLY GOT FOUR MORE DAYS LEFT.

"THIS IS THE NICEST VACATION I'VE EVER HAD

AND MARTIN'S COTTAGES IS A VERY NICE PLACE."

I'LL BET.

YEAH.

"IN THE EVENINGS AFTER SUPPER, THERE IS ALWAYS PLENTY TO DO.

"YOU CAN GO IN BACK OF THE COTTAGES

AND CLIMB HANSEN'S HILL."

HANSEN'S HILL?!

MM-HMM.

"OR YOU CAN WALK THE OTHER WAY AND GO DOWN TO THE LAKE

"AND SIT IN A BOAT

"OR IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING EITHER ONE OF THESE THINGS

"YOU CAN WALK ALONG THE LAKE AND SEE THE TWISTED OAK TREE.

IT'S QUITE A SIGHT."

I'D LIKE TO GO UP THERE SOMETIME.

YEAH. YEAH.

THEN HE FINISHES BY SAYING

"SAY HELLO TO EVERYBODY

"FROM YOUR BUDDY AND THEIRS, GOOBER.

"P.S.: TELL WALLY TO KEEP UP HIS SPIRITS.

I'LL BE BACK ON THE JOB MONDAY MORNING."

HOW'S BUSINESS AT WALLY'S, ANYWAY?

GEE, I DON'T KNOW.

WANT TO CLOSE UP AND LET'S GO OVER THERE AND SEE?

OKAY.

I'LL BE DOGGED.

WELL, THEY MUST BE GIVING SOMETHING AWAY.

I NEVER SAW BUSINESS LIKE THIS.

NO.

WONDER WHAT'S BRINGING IT IN?

THERE'S YOUR ANSWER, RIGHT THERE.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE, SIR?

YEAH. I'D LIKE TO BE 30 YEARS YOUNGER.

HERE YOU ARE, SWEETIE.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

WELL, THANK YOU.

AND COME BACK AND SEE US REAL SOON.

SURE WILL.

I'M GOING TO USE UP THIS GAS

JUST AS FAST AS I CAN.

BYE, HONEY.

LOOKS LIKE FLORA'S DOING PRETTY GOOD.

YEAH.

I DON'T IMAGINE WALLY IS MISSING GOOBER TOO MUCH.

WELL, NOW, DON'T EVER FORGET, FLOYD,

GOOBER'S A VERY VALUABLE MAN.

YES, BUT HE'S NOT QUITE THE SAME IN SLACKS.

YES, SIR?

COULD I HAVE A QUART OF OIL

LIKE YOU GIVE THE OTHER FELLA?

WHY, CERTAINLY.

NO RUSH, HONEY.

OH, HI, ANDY.

HI, WALLY.

HOW DO YOU LIKE THIS, EH?

BOY, THIS IS THE BUSIEST DAY I'VE EVER HAD.

THINGS ARE REALLY POPPING, HUH?

OH, SHE'S A WHIZ!

THROWS A WHOLE NEW LIGHT ON THE FILLING STATION BUSINESS.

IT DOES?

OH, YEAH, YEAH.

ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF MERCHANDISING.

APPEAL AT THE POINT OF SALE.

YOU'VE SURE GOT THAT, ALL RIGHT.

YOU, UH, HEARD FROM GOOBER?

YEAH, I GOT A LETTER FROM HIM THIS MORNING.

UH, HE'LL BE STAYING AWAY FOR A WHILE, EH?

SAID HE WAS COMING BACK IN FOUR DAYS.

WELL, UH, IF HE CALLS, OR ANYTHING

TELL HIM THERE'S NO HURRY.

SEE YOU, ANDY.

WELL, GEE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU, MISS LEWIS.

WELL, KIDS ARE GOING TO MAKE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RACKET.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU TRY THIS?

WHY DON'T YOU TRY SHIFTING YOUR NAP TO AROUND 5:30

AND THEN MAYBE THEY'LL ALL BE HOME?

RIGHT. I-I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. BYE.

SURPRISE!

OH, HEY, GOOBER.

I BROUGHT YOU SOMETHING.

A FISH.

HOW'D YOU GUESS?

WELL, I KNEW IT WASN'T AFTERSHAVE LOTION.

USED YOUR ROD, OF COURSE.

DIDN'T CATCH NOTHING THE FIRST DAY.

THEN I SWITCHED MY BAIT FROM WORMS TO GRASSHOPPERS.

CAUGHT THREE FISH WITH THE SAME GRASSHOPPER.

NO KIDDING. YEAH.

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK SO SOON, GOOBER?

I THOUGHT YOU WASN'T COMING BACK TILL MONDAY.

I FIGURED I HAD TO GET BACK EARLY

FOR WALLY'S SAKE.

I'M ON MY WAY OVER THERE NOW.

BUSINESS MUST'VE FELL OFF SOMETHING TERRIBLE.

WELL, IT'S BEEN RIGHT WARM, YOU KNOW

AND FOLKS BEEN DOING A LOT OF DRIVING.

WELL, HOW'S FLORA?

SHE MAKING OUT ALL RIGHT?

WELL, WHATEVER THE PROBLEMS ARE

I'LL GET 'EM STRAIGHTENED OUT IN A HURRY.

GOOBER, I WANT...

TALK TO YOU LATER.

GOOBER. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T COMING BACK TILL MONDAY.

WELL, I JUST THOUGHT I'D COME BACK EARLY. I...

OH. YEAH.

THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING ALL RIGHT. I...

WELL, WE'RE, UH, WE'RE MANAGING OKAY.

UM, UH, SAY, UH, GOOB, UH, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE FISHING

AND, UH, A FELLOW ONLY GETS ONE VACATION A YEAR

AND, WELL, LIKE YOU SAID

YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE BODY, SO, UH...

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE AN EXTRA WEEK FOR YOURSELF, HUH?

WE'LL GET ALONG SOMEHOW.

YEAH. IT MIGHT BE A THOUGHT.

Flora: GOOBER!

HEY, FLORA.

GOOBER!

WALLY, WOULD YOU MIND FINISHING UP THAT CUSTOMER FOR ME?

OH, YEAH, SURE.

GOOBER, WHY DIDN'T

YOU TELL ME YOU WERE COMING BACK SO SOON?

OH, GOOBER, IT'S BEEN THE MOST EXCITING WEEK!

THE BIGGEST WEEK WALLY EVER HAD!

IT IS, HUH?

UH-HUH, AND I'VE NEVER ENJOYED MYSELF SO MUCH!

WHAT DO YOU SAY, FLORA? I USED IT ALL UP!

OKAY, I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU.

GOOBER, WHY DON'T YOU GO INSIDE AND CHANGE

AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE OVER?

GOOBER!

WHY HAVEN'T YOU CHANGED?

UH, FLORA, I BEEN THINKING.

MAYBE YOU JUST BETTER STAY HERE.

STAY HERE? YOU MEAN FOR GOOD?

YEAH, AND, UH, YOU WORK FOR WALLY.

GOOBER, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

WELL, YOU SEE, FLORA, WHILE I WAS ON VACATION

I GOT TO THINKING.

I CAN'T JUST SPEND MY WHOLE LIFE PUMPING GAS.

WHAT DO YOU PLAN TO DO, GOOBER?

WELL, I'M GOING ON TO BIGGER THINGS

WHERE THERE'S A BETTER OPPORTUNITY.

GOSH, YOU SURE MAKE UP YOUR MIND AWFUL FAST.

WELL, UH...

Man: FLORA! FLORA!

GOOBER, ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING?

YOU'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR WALLY

AN AWFUL LONG TIME, AND...

NO, A MAN'S GOT TO THINK ABOUT HIS FUTURE.

YOU KNOW, UH, MOVE ON.

BUT, GEE, GOOBER.

I-I GOT TO BE RUNNING, FLORA.

I GOT A LOT OF APPOINTMENTS.

BUSINESS INTERVIEWS-- THINGS LIKE THAT.

I-I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.

WHAT SAY, FLOYD?

OH! OH, HI, ANDY.

I KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN.

WHAT?

THAT FLORA TAKING OVER GOOBER'S JOB.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS.

DID HE GET ANOTHER JOB YET?

NOT THAT I KNOW OF.

BEEN LOOKIN'.

OH, I KNOW HE'S BEEN LOOKIN'.

HE WAS IN THE BARBER SHOP YESTERDAY.

WANTED TO KNOW IF I NEEDED ANOTHER BARBER.

A BARB...

HEY, FLOYD?

HUH?

ANOTHER BARBER MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA.

WAIT A MINUTE...

A MAN DOESN'T BECOME A BARBER OVERNIGHT.

IT'S WORK, TRAINING, WORK, WORK, WORK.

I'M SURE IT IS. I'M SORRY.

HE JUST CAN'T WALK IN OFF THE STREET AND BE A BARBER.

NO, OF COURSE NOT. I'M SORRY.

THAT'S OKAY.

AH! AND BESIDE THAT, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LICENSE.

YEAH. OF COURSE YOU DO.

I'LL SEE YOU, FLOYD.

YEAH, ALL RIGHT, ANDY.

SEE YOU.

WELL, HI, GOOB.

HEY, ANDY.

I WAS JUST MAKING A LIST OF PEOPLE

I WANT TO INTERVIEW ME TOMORROW.

OH. YOU GOT ANY NIBBLES?

I WENT TO FOUR PLACES TODAY.

YEAH

NO.

A LOT OF THEM WAS INTERESTED IN ME

BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LET ON.

PROBABLY AFRAID I'D HIT 'EM FOR A REAL BIG SALARY.

YEAH, PROBABLY.

HEY, HAVE YOU BEEN OVER AT WEAVER'S DEPARTMENT STORE?

THEY GOT A BIG CLEARANCE SALE GOING ON.

NO.

WHY DON'T YOU GO SEE OLD MAN WEAVER?

HE MIGHT HAVE JUST THE JOB FOR YOU.

MERCHANDISING, HUH? WEAVER'S DEPARTMENT STORE.

THAT'S RETAIL. I BEEN IN RETAIL.

IT'S JUST LIKE SELLING GAS, ONLY YOU HAVE TO WRAP IT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'LL GO OVER THERE RIGHT NOW.

MR. WEAVER PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW I'M AVAILABLE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU.

OKAY.

GOOD LUCK.

SARAH, WOULD YOU GET ME WEAVER'S DEPARTMENT STORE?

YEAH, I KNOW THEY GOT A CLEARANCE SALE GOING ON.

YEAH.

UH, MR. WEAVER? ANDY TAYLOR.

LISTEN, I NOTICE YOU GOT A CLEARANCE SALE GOING ON.

I WONDER IF YOU MIGHT NEED SOME HELP.

OH, CASHIER, HUH? GOOD.

WELL, LISTEN, I JUST SENT GOOBER OVER THERE TO SEE YOU.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOUT, MR. WEAVER.

WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW HE CAN'T TILL YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE?

WELL, LET'S JUST PUT IT THIS WAY

YOU KNOW THOSE CARS THAT HAVE BEEN DOUBLE-PARKED

OUT IN FRONT OF YOUR STORE ALL DAY?

I GAVE THEM A CHANCE.

THAT'S THE TIME.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M RETURNING THIS AND I WANT TO BUY THESE, TOO.

HERE'S MY SALES SLIP.

THANK YOU, MRS. LARCH.

LET'S SEE. THAT'S $8.98...

AND, UH, 13 CENTS TAX...

IT'S AN ELECTRIC BLANKET.

THE LIGHT GOES ON, BUT IT WON'T HEAT UP.

UH-HUH. AND THESE.

LET'S SEE, THAT'S $4.98...

AND $5.07.

WAIT A MINUTE. YOU RANG UP THREE ITEMS.

I TOLD YOU I WANTED TO BUY THOSE TWO

AND I'M RETURNING THE BLANKET.

OH, UH...JUST THESE TWO.

NOW YOU RANG UP FIVE ITEMS.

YEAH, UH...

MRS. LARCH, I-I'M REAL HANDY.

WHY DON'T I JUST FIX IT FOR YOU?

WELL, I HAD IT ON ALL LAST NIGHT.

IT WAS NOT ONLY FREEZING

BUT THE LIGHT ON THE THING KEPT ME AWAKE.

WELL, WE'LL GET IT FIXED FOR YOU.

GOOBER, CAN I HAVE A WORD WITH YOU?

HEY, GOOB!

HEY, ANDY.

I THOUGHT YOU WAS WORKING.

ANDY, YOU KNOW THAT MR. WEAVER'S A REAL NICE PERSON?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE ADVISED ME TO QUIT.

HE SAID A MAN WITH MY MECHANICAL ABILITY

DON'T BELONG BEHIND A CASH REGISTER.

HE SAID I OUGHT TO FIND A JOB WHERE I COULD REALIZE MY POTENTIAL.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL NICE OF HIM.

WELL, YEAH.

I WAS JUST THINKING, THOUGH.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT I COULD FIND AROUND HERE.

WE JUST GOT THE ONE FILLING STATION.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE.

YEAH, THAT IS KIND OF A TOUGH ONE, ISN'T IT, GOOB?

YEAH.

BUT EARLIE GILLEY'S GOT A PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF MT. PILOT.

I MIGHT GO WORK FOR HIM.

THERE'S A LOT OF BIG GARAGES UP IN RALEIGH

I MIGHT GO UP THERE.

WELL... YEAH.

I'VE GOT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO LEAVE TOWN OR NOT.

SOMETHING I WANT TO DISCUSS WITH FLORA, ABOUT OUR FUTURE.

HOW IS FLORA?

I AIN'T SEEN HER IN A FEW DAYS.

SHE'S BEEN SO BUSY AT THE FILLING STATION.

BUT I'LL GET THE WHOLE THING SETTLED TONIGHT.

I GOT A DATE WITH HER.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU.

OKAY.

OH, HI, GOOBER.

HEY, FLORA.

SWEETS FOR A SWEET.

OH, THANK YOU, GOOBER.

TIRED, HUH?

OH, I DON'T THINK I WAS OFF MY FEET FOR ONE MINUTE TODAY.

YEAH, THAT WORK CAN TAKE A LOT OUT OF YOU.

SIT DOWN.

THANKS.

DID YOU FIND A JOB YET?

WELL, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AROUND BUT NOTHING APPEALS TO ME.

BUT DON'T WORRY, I GOT MY EYE ON TWO OR THREE THINGS.

I'VE SURE MISSED YOU THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS.

I WAS REAL LONESOME WITHOUT YOU.

WERE YOU?

YEAH.

HEY, FLORA, YOU KNOW THAT BIG, FANCY GARAGE

THAT YOU PASS ON THE WAY INTO RALEIGH?

UH-HUH. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING TO WALLY ABOUT.

WE OUGHT TO MAKE THE PLACE INTO A BIG SERVICE STATION.

PUT UP DISPLAY STANDS...

WELL, I BET WE COULD SELL TWICE AS MANY ACCESSORIES.

LIKE MIRRORS AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS...

YEAH, THAT'D BE A GREAT THING, ALL RIGHT.

COURSE, THE STANDS WOULD COST MONEY,

BUT I THINK THEY'D PAY OFF.

YEAH, I THINK THEY'D PAY OFF ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, I BEEN THINKING ABOUT YOU AND ME A LOT.

I WAS TALKING TO ANDY TODAY

AND, WELL, I GUESS FOLKS WOULD SAY WE'RE KIND OF GOIN' TOGETHER.

YEAH.

GO TOGETHER... THAT'S IT.

YOU KNOW, WALLY'S GOT THINGS PILED HERE AND PILED THERE

WELL, WE OUGHT TO PUT THINGS THAT BELONG TOGETHER

WHERE THEY CAN BE SEEN.

WE OUGHTA PUT A DISPLAY OF BATTERIES

IN FRONT OF THE STATION

AND A BATTERY TESTER RIGHT NEXT TO THE PUMPS.

YOU KNOW, I'LL BET THE MARKUP ON BATTERIES IS 30 PERCENT.

MAYBE EVEN 35.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

EVER SINCE FLORA

STARTED WORKING AT THE FILLING STATION,

THAT'S ALL SHE'S INTERESTED IN --

BATTERIES AND GAS PUMPS AND SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS.

SEEMS LIKE SHE AIN'T INTERESTED IN NOTHIN' BUT BUSINESS.

YOU KNOW, TALKING TO HER ANYMORE

IS LIKE TALKING TO ANOTHER FELLER.

LIKE TALKING TO ANOTHER FELLER?

YEAH.

WHAT CAUSES THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MIGHT DO?

HUH?

I MIGHT GO TO RALEIGH OR MOUNT PILOT

AND GET MYSELF A JOB IN A GARAGE.

AND DON'T YOU WORRY, ANDY.

NO MATTER HOW BIG I MAKE IT IN THE CITY,

I'LL COME BACK TO MAYBERRY NOW AND THEN

TO SEE MY OLD FRIENDS.

YEAH.

HELLO, FLORA. HOW YOU BEEN?

JUST FINE, CHARLIE.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA HAVE?

UH, GIVE ME A TUNA DOWN, HOLD THE MAYO, AND A CUP OF COFFEE.

RIGHT.

HI, FLORA. HI, ANDY.

HELLO, SHERIFF.

CHARLIE. CAN I HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE?

RIGHT.

HOW ARE THINGS AT THE FILLING STATION?

JUST GREAT.

TODAY'S THE BIGGEST DAY WE'VE HAD SO FAR.

YEAH? MM-HMM.

BOY, YOU'RE REALLY DOING A JOB FOR WALLY.

THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE 150 GALLONS AHEAD OF THE SAME DAY LAST WEEK?

NO KIDDING.

YOU KNOW, YOU SOUND LIKE AN ACCOUNTANT.

YOU MUST HAVE A NATURAL HEAD FOR BUSINESS.

YOU HAVE TO STUDY YOUR RECORDS AND KEEP SALES CHARTS.

THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO RUN A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

YOU KNOW, MOST GIRLS DON'T HAVE ANYTHING IN THEIR MIND

BUT GETTING MARRIED.

I SUPPOSE SO.

YEAH.

YOU KEEP IT UP, YOU'RE LIABLE TO WIND UP

WITH YOUR OWN GAS STATION.

WELL, MAYBE.

YEAH. I USED TO KNOW A GIRL UP IN RALEIGH

AND SHE STARTED OUT JUST AS A SALESGIRL.

BUT SHE KEPT WORKING AT IT.

NEVER WENT OUT OR ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW WHERE SHE IS TODAY?

GOT HER OWN STORE. THAT SO?

YEAH. LIVES BY HERSELF UP THERE.

DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT COOKIN' FOR A HUSBAND OR ANYTHING.

JUST COMES HOME, FEEDS HER CATS AND THEN HER TIME'S HER OWN.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH.

'COURSE, AT NIGHT, SHE GOES OVER HER BOOKS AND SALES FIGURES

LIKE YOU'RE DOING.

SURE WORKED OUT GOOD FOR HER.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T SHE EVER GET MARRIED?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO OR DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR IT.

YEAH...

I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY WORK OUT IN THE LONG RUN.

BEST FOR GOOBER, TOO.

GOOBER?

YEAH, HE'LL PROBABLY MISS MAYBERRY

AND THE OLD FILLING STATION FOR A WHILE

BUT HE'LL GET OVER IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DIDN'T YOU KNOW GOOBER'S LEAVING TOWN?

HE'S WHAT?!

HE'S LEAVING MAYBERRY. GONNA WORK UP IN RALEIGH.

WELL, HE DIDN'T TELL ME THAT.

HE DIDN'T?

OH, HE PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU.

HE KNOWS HOW BUSY YOU ARE.

YEAH.

YEAH, I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY WORK OUT BEST FOR BOTH OF YOU

IN THE LONG RUN.

THAT WAY, BOTH OF YOU CAN DEVOTE FULL TIME

TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAREERS.

HERE YOU ARE, FLORA.

AND NO MAYO.

HMM. LOOKS GOOD.

WHAT SAY, WALLY?

MORNING, ANDY.

NOW, YOU SEE?

I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

I HAVE NO LUCK WITH WOMEN.

SHE QUIT.

RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE.

YOU KNOW THE ONE THING YOU CAN DEPEND ON WITH WOMEN?

YOU CAN'T DEPEND ON THEM.

WELL, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND 'EM, WALLY,

JUST APPRECIATE 'EM.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME A TANK OF GAS.

KIND OF START THE DAY OFF RIGHT.

HEY, ANDY!

HEY, GOOB.

NEED SOME GAS? YEAH.

I'LL GET IT, WALLY.

HI, ANDY.

OH, WELL, FLORA, THAT'S MIGHTY FANCY.

LIKE IT?

YEAH, IT'S NICE. HUH, GOOB?

YEAH.

SEE YOU AFTER WORK TONIGHT, GOOBER?

YEAH.

I THOUGHT WE'D HAVE DINNER AT MY HOUSE.

I'M GOING TO MAKE ONE OF YOUR FAVORITES --

POUNDED STEAK.

GREAT.

OH, AND THERE'S A NEW MOVIE AT THE DRIVE-IN.

SEE YOU ABOUT 6:00?

YEAH.

I'LL BE WAITING.
