WHAT'D YOU DO LAST NIGHT?

I BOWLED.

WHO'D YOU BOWL WITH?

WITH HELEN.

HOW BAD DID YOU BEAT HER?

AHEM, WELL, I, UH... WASN'T REALLY ON MY GAME.

WELL, YOU DID BEAT HER, THOUGH, DIDN'T YOU?

WELL, NO, NOT EXACTLY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "NOT EXACTLY"?

WELL, SHE BEAT ME.

HELEN BEAT YOU?

: I'LL BE DOGGED.

SHE REALLY BEAT YOU, HUH?

SHE REALLY BEAT ME, OKAY?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

A LITTLE GIRL LIKE HELEN.

SHE DON'T EVEN BOWL MUCH.

I'M TRYING TO READ THE PAPER.

ANDY, YOU BOWL ALL THE TIME

AND I BET HELEN DON'T BOWL MORE THAN ONCE A MONTH.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HOME.

WHAT YOU GOING TO DO WHEN YOU GET HOME?

DIFFERENT THINGS.

WHAT KIND OF THINGS?

WELL, I'LL PROBABLY GO IN AND SIT AROUND, YOU KNOW.

AND I MIGHT, I MIGHT HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE.

AND THEN WE GOT COMPANY COMING.

WHO?

WELL, HELEN'S COMING OVER AND SHE'S GOING TO BRING

HER LITTLE NIECE FOR A LITTLE VISIT.

WHAT Y'ALL GOING TO DO?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, GOOB.

WE'LL PROBABLY COME IN, YOU KNOW

AND SIT AROUND THERE IN THE LIVING ROOM, YOU KNOW?

AND THEN OPIE'LL PROBABLY TAKE THE LITTLE GIRL

OUT IN THE YARD

AND THEY'LL PLAY FOR A WHILE, YOU SEE?

AND THEN AFTER A WHILE

HELEN WILL PROBABLY TAKE HER NIECE HOME.

AND THEN OPIE AND AUNT BEE AND MYSELF

WE'LL PROBABLY EAT LUNCH.

AND THEN I'LL JUST, YOU KNOW, FOOL AROUND.

THEN, LATER ON TONIGHT, HELEN AND I ARE GOING OUT.

OKAY?

YEAH. SHE REALLY BEAT YOU, HUH?

BUT, PAW, IT'S SATURDAY.

OPIE, I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.

AND I UNDERSTAND

MISS CRUMP'S NIECE IS A LOVELY LITTLE GIRL.

THAT'S IT-- SHE'S A GIRL.

WELL, WHAT'S SO AWFUL ABOUT PLAYING WITH A GIRL

FOR A WHILE?

ARE YOU GOING TO FORCE ME?

YOUR FATHER'S ONLY SUGGESTING.

THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID

WHEN YOU FORCED ME TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL DANCE.

YOU WERE GLAD AFTERWARDS THAT YOU WENT

BECAUSE YOU LEARNED HOW TO DANCE WHILE YOU WERE THERE.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT, PAW.

I ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT GIRLS.

WELL, THAT'S FINE.

THEN YOU KNOW ON OCCASION THEY CAN BE JUST FINE COMPANY.

IF I GOT TO PLAY WITH A GIRL ON SATURDAY,

I'D JUST AS SOON BE IN SCHOOL.

LET ME PUT IT TO YOU THIS WAY--

IN THIS COUNTRY--

MORE PARTICULAR, IN THIS HOUSE--

WHEN WE HAVE COMPANY, WE ENTERTAIN THEM.

NOW, I DON'T CARE IF IT'S A GIRL

OR A TWO-HEADED MONSTER

OR A DRAGON WITH A LONG TAIL,

WE ENTERTAIN THEM.

NOW, MISS CRUMP IS BRINGING HER NIECE OVER HERE.

I'M SORRY SHE'S A GIRL, AND I'M SORRY IT'S SATURDAY,

BUT WE'RE GONNA ENTERTAIN THEM. OKAY?

I SAY OKAY?

OKAY.

AND REMEMBER, OPIE,

MISS CRUMP HAS BEEN VERY NICE TO YOU.

WELL, THAT MUST BE THEM.

MM-HMM.

HMM.

GOOD MORNING, HELEN.

COME RIGHT IN.

GOOD MORNING, AUNT BEE.

CYNTHIA, THIS IS MISS TAYLOR.

HOW DO YOU DO?

HOW DO YOU DO?

MY GOODNESS, AREN'T YOU A PRETTY LITTLE THING?

WELL, WELL.

OH, HI, ANDY.

CYNTHIA, THIS IS MR. TAYLOR.

HOW DO YOU DO, MR. TAYLOR?

NICE TO MEET YOU, YOUNG LADY.

AND THIS IS OPIE.

OPIE.

MORNING, MISS CRUMP.

MORNING, OPIE.

HMM.

THIS, UH...

THIS IS OPIE.

OPIE, THIS IS MY NIECE, CYNTHIA.

HI.

HI.

WELL, LET'S SIT DOWN.

MM-HMM.

OPIE, CYNTHIA COMES ALL THE WAY FROM WEST VIRGINIA.

ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?

WHEELING, ISN'T IT, CYNTHIA?

YES.

MMM.

LOVELY WEATHER WE'RE HAVING, TOO, HMM?

AREN'T WE HAVING LOVELY WEATHER?

AS PRETTY AS I'VE SEEN IT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

JUST BEAUTIFUL.

JUST BEAUTIFUL.

NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY.

NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY.

OPIE, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE CYNTHIA OUT

AND PLAY FOR A WHILE?

THERE WE GO.

AUNT HELEN SAID YOU WERE IN A CLASS.

YEAH.

SHE SAID YOU'RE CLASS PRESIDENT.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU MUST BE REAL POPULAR.

JUST LUCKY, I GUESS.

ALL MY FRIENDS VOTED FOR ME.

WELL, IF YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS,

THAT MEANS YOU'RE POPULAR.

MAYBE.

DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AROUND?

I MEAN, IF YOU WANT TO.

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE ALL THE GREAT PLACES

AROUND HERE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

WHAT GRADE ARE YOU IN, IN SCHOOL?

SEVEN-A. ME, TOO.

MY FAVORITE SUBJECT'S HISTORY.

WHAT'S YOURS?

LUNCH.

HEY, DO YOU WANT TO SEE A CARTWHEEL?

SURE.

I LIKE TO DO THOSE.

WELL, WHAT I'M REALLY GOOD AT, THOUGH, IS RUNNING.

SEE THAT TREE DOWN THERE BY THE GAS STATION?

I'LL RACE YOU TO IT. ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GO!

YOU MEAN THIS TREE, OPIE?

I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE RUNNING FAST.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW, OPIE?

I DON'T FEEL LIKE DOING ANYTHING.

Goober: HEY, OPE.

BOY, THAT WAS SOME RACE.

YEAH.

WHO'S YOUR LITTLE LADY FRIEND?

CYNTHIA.

YOU HELEN CRUMP'S NIECE, AIN'T YOU?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I KNEW YOU WAS COMING.

HEY, YOU BOTH LOOK PLUM TUCKERED OUT.

WHY DON'T YOU GO OVER THERE

AND GET YOURSELF A BOTTLE OF POP ON THE HOUSE?

GET YOUR STRENGTH BACK.

GEE, THANKS.

COME ON, OPIE.

CUTE LITTLE THING.

HEY, DO YOU WANT TO JUMP OVER THAT HOLE OVER THERE?

GEE, OPIE.

I'M NOT AFRAID.

WELL... THEN NEITHER AM I.

LET'S GO.

HEY, DON'T JUMP OVER THAT OIL PIT!

TAKE MY HAND, OPE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, OPIE?

MY FOOT SLIPPED.

WELL, COME ON OVER HERE

AND LET'S GET YOU CLEANED UP.

ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

I GOT TO GO HOME.

I GOT THINGS I HAVE TO DO.

YOU WANT TO PLAY LATER ON?

I GOT THINGS TO DO THEN, TOO.

OH. WELL...

BYE. BYE.

THAT CYNTHIA SURE IS A CUTE LITTLE GIRL.

SHE'S OKAY.

BOY, SHE SURE CAN RUN, JUMP AND EVERYTHING.

SHE THINKS SHE'S SO GOOD.

THIS OLD GREASE IS COMING OFF.

HEY, OPE...

YOU KNOW SOMETHING

THAT I FOUND OUT A LONG TIME AGO?

WHAT?

WELL, ANYTIME I DID ANYTHING WITH A GIRL

I ALWAYS MADE SURE IT WAS SOMETHING

I COULD DO BETTER THAN THEY COULD.

LIKE WHAT?

WELL, LIKE LOTS OF THINGS.

LIKE, UH, DRINKING THE MOST WATER

WITHOUT TAKING A BREATH

OR CATCHING FLIES BAREHANDED

OR MAKING FRIENDS WITH A LIVE SKUNK.

JUST ABOUT ANYTHING I KNEW I WAS BETTER AT THAN THEM.

CYNTHIA!

YEAH?

I'LL PLAY WITH YOU SOME MORE.

I'LL MEET YOU IN FRONT OF MISS CRUMP'S IN TEN MINUTES.

OKAY.

THANKS, GOOBER.

COME HERE.

THANKS.

YOU'RE FILTHY. WHAT YOU BEEN DOING?

PLAYING.

WHAT'S YOUR HURRY? GOT TO GET SOMETHING.

Aunt Bee: WHERE'S CYNTHIA?

I'M MEETING HER RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE GOING TO PLAY SOME MORE.

FOOTBALL?

WITH A FRAIL LITTLE GIRL LIKE THAT?

JUST GOING TO BE TOUCH.

I'LL TELL THE FELLAS TO BE CAREFUL.

WELL, YOU TELL...

YOU TELL THEM TO TAKE IT REAL EASY.

IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

SO WHEN I GO OUT FOR THAT PASS,

IF SHE GETS IN THE WAY, YOU JUST BLOCK HER OUT, OKAY?

RIGHT.

All: BREAK.

62...

48, 31,

12.

INTERFERENCE!

THAT WAS INTERFERENCE!

INTERFERENCE! INTERFERENCE!

THAT WAS NOT INTERFERENCE.

IT WAS SO, WASN'T IT?

DID SHE TOUCH YOU?

IT WAS INTERFERENCE!

WAS NOT, OPIE, AND YOU KNOW IT!

INTERFERENCE!

WAS NOT!

YOU SHOVED ME!

YOU SHOVED ME FIRST!

YOU JUST SHOVE ME ONCE MORE, OPIE TAYLOR!

JUST YOU TRY IT!

OPIE, WASH UP FOR LUNCH.

HOW DID YOU AND LITTLE CYNTHIA GET ALONG?

ANDY, DID YOU CALL OPIE?

MM-HMM.

WELL, EVERYTHING'S ALL READY.

OH... HEY, OPE! LUNCH.

I WONDER WHAT HE'S DOING UP THERE.

HE CAME HOME AND HE'S BEEN IN HIS ROOM EVER SINCE.

HEY, OPE! YOU COMING?

Opie: COMING, PAW.

ARE YOU PLANNING A TRIP

TO HOLLYWOOD OR SOMETHING?

I GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE.

OH, HERE, LET ME...

OH, IT'S NOTHING, AUNT BEE.

NO, DR. ANDERSON SAID

WE MUST BE WARY OF FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE EYE.

PUT DOWN YOUR ORANGE JUICE.

PUT IT DOWN.

LET ME SEE.

OPIE, YOU'VE BEEN FIGHTING.

HMM, AFTER I'VE TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED

AND TALKED TO YOU ABOUT FIGHTING.

WHO STARTED IT?

THE OTHER KID?

KINDA.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO STARTED IT.

FIGHTING NEVER SETTLED ANYTHING.

AND IN FRONT OF LITTLE CYNTHIA, TOO.

WAS CYNTHIA THERE?

YEAH.

WERE SOME OF THE BOYS PICKING ON CYNTHIA?

WELL, YOU SEE, PAW...

CAN I GET SOME MORE ORANGE JUICE?

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

PROBABLY BECAUSE I HAVE LECTURED HIM SO MUCH

ABOUT FIGHTING.

DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE MADE MUCH IMPRESSION.

WELL, IN THIS CASE

IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS FOR A GOOD CAUSE--

PROTECTING A GIRL.

I CAN'T JUST BAWL HIM OUT FOR THAT.

NO, NO...

WE DID TELL HIM TO LOOK OUT FOR CYNTHIA.

THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT.

MM-HMM.

YOU KNOW WHO I BET IT WAS.

I BET IT WAS THAT BLAKE BOY.

HE'S A BULLY.

YES, HE IS.

HE'S ALWAYS TEASING GIRLS.

AND HE'S... HE'S TALLER THAN OPIE, TOO.

AT LEAST BY TWO INCHES.

YEAH.

IT'S... IT'S GOOD THAT OPIE

CAN TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF.

YES, YES.

OPIE'S GOT A BLACK EYE

BUT I SURE WOULD HATE TO SEE THE OTHER BOY.

I'M SORRY I HIT HIM.

WELL, LET'S FORGET ABOUT IT FOR NOW.

I'LL SEE MR. TAYLOR TONIGHT.

I'LL EXPLAIN IT TO HIM THEN.

WHY DO BOYS THINK

THEY HAVE TO BE BETTER AT EVERYTHING THAN GIRLS?

I DON'T KNOW, DEAR.

THEY'RE JUST FUNNY THAT WAY.

WELL, LET'S FORGET ABOUT IT.

IT'S JUST ONE OF THOSE UNFORTUNATE THINGS.

ANDY! I JUST SEEN OPIE.

WHERE'D HE GET THAT BLACK EYE?

BLACK EYE?! OPIE'S BEEN IN A FIGHT?

WHO WAS IT, ANDY? HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

OPIE WOULDN'T TALK.

WELL, I COULDN'T GET TOO MUCH INFORMATION

OUT OF HIM EITHER,

BUT I KIND OF PIECED THINGS TOGETHER.

WHO'D HE TANGLE WITH?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHO, BUT IT SEEMS,

WHOEVER IT WAS, WAS PICKING ON HELEN'S NIECE --

YOU KNOW, LITTLE CYNTHIA? --

AND OPIE STUCK UP FOR HER AND TOOK HER PART.

OH, I LIKE THAT.

I BET HE WHOMPED THAT KID.

YOU BET HE DID, BECAUSE HE WAS BATTLING FOR A CAUSE!

OH, YOU'VE GOT A FINE BOY, THERE, ANDY, A FINE BOY.

WELL, YEAH, YEAH.

OF COURSE, NOW, I TALKED TO HIM --

I DON'T BELIEVE IN FIGHTING.

OH, NO, NO.

NO.

IN A CASE LIKE THIS, THOUGH,

I GUESS HE HAD TO WADE RIGHT IN THERE.

YEAH.

Billy: HI.

OH, HI, BILLY.

BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE, BILLY!

I WISHED I COULD'VE SEEN IT, ANDY.

YOU KNOW, OPIE'S GOOD WITH HIS DUKES.

AND NEVER MIND THE COMIC BOOKS, BOY.

NEVER READ IN THE CHAIR.

GOSH, MR. LAWSON.

WHEN YOU READ, YOUR HEAD SWIVELS.

COME ON AND SIT DOWN, BILLY.

I GOT YOU, FLOYD.

YOU HAVE NOT GOT!

HEY, BILLY. DO YOU KNOW WHO IT WAS, OPIE HAD THE FIGHT WITH?

SURE, I WAS THERE.

WAS IT THAT COSGROVE KID? I HEAR HE'S A BULLY.

THE BLAKE BOY?

NO, IT WAS MISS CRUMP'S NIECE.

HE WAS FIGHTING WITH CYNTHIA?

SHE GAVE OPIE A BLACK EYE?!

YEAH, SHE DID.

RUMOR! JUST A RUMOR!

YOU SHOULDN'T GO SPREADING RUMORS AROUND, BOY.

IT'S THE TRUTH!

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE WAS FIGHTING WITH CYNTHIA?

Billy: UH-HUH.

AND SHE HIT HIM HARD ENOUGH TO GIVE HIM A BLACK EYE?

YEAH, SHE DID.

SHE PROBABLY JUST GOT IN A LUCKY PUNCH, ANDY.

YEAH! HE OUGHT TO DEMAND A REMATCH.

FIGHTING WITH CYNTHIA.

WELL? YOU WANT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT?

OH, YOU HEARD, HUH?

YEAH.

WELL, GOSH, PAW, I WAS GOING TO

TELL YOU, BUT... WELL, YOU AND AUNT BEE

THOUGHT IT HAPPENED ANOTHER WAY, SO...

WELL, HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

WELL, I WAS PLAYING FOOTBALL WITH CYNTHIA

AND SHE RAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME

AND TOOK A PASS AWAY.

IT WAS INTERFERENCE, PAW.

YEAH?

YEAH, AND I TOLD HER IT WAS

AND SHE SAID IT WASN'T

AND THEN SHE GAVE ME A PUSH.

I PUSHED HER BACK...

SHE PUSHED YOU?

YEAH, SHE PUSHED ME.

AND WE WERE PUSHING BACK AND FORTH

AND, ALL OF A SUDDEN, SHE HIT ME IN THE EYE.

JUST HIT YOU RIGHT IN THE EYE?

YEAH, SHE GAVE ME THIS BLACK EYE.

AND SHE PUSHED YOU?

YEAH.

OH.

JUST RAN RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU AND TOOK YOUR PASS.

JUST AS I WAS GOING TO CATCH THE BALL.

WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

WELL, DID YOU FIND OUT ANYTHING?

CYNTHIA HIT HIM.

CYNTHIA?

I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHY?

SHE TOOK A PASS AWAY FROM HIM.

THAT'S HARDLY A REASON...

IT WAS INTERFERENCE.

OH, COME IN.

HI.

HI.

OH.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE DOING TONIGHT?

WE COULD TAKE A NICE WALK.

OKAY.

OR WE COULD GO TO A MOVIE.

OKAY, FINE.

THERE'S A GOOD ONE PLAYING.

IF YOU WANT TO GO TO A MOVIE, FINE.

ANDY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING.

WELL, SOMETHING'S BOTHERING YOU.

NO, NOTHING'S BOTHERING ME.

OH, LISTEN

I'M SORRY ABOUT OPIE'S BLACK EYE.

OH, WELL, THOSE THINGS HAPPEN.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

WELL, HE'S, UH... HE'S GOT A BLACK EYE.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S TOO FUNNY.

I MEAN, I MADE HIM PLAY WITH HER

AND SHE WOUND UP GIVING HIM A BLACK EYE.

WELL, SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE HIT HIM.

NO.

ESPECIALLY WHEN HE COULDN'T HIT HER BACK.

WELL, I HAD A TALK WITH CYNTHIA

AND EXPLAINED THAT TO HER.

YOU SHOULD.

I SAID I DID.

WELL, IT'S JUST... IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT

FOR GIRLS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BOYS LIKE THAT.

I WISH SHE'D NEVER CAUGHT THAT PASS.

AW, IT WAS INTERFERENCE.

THE WHOLE THING WAS UNFORTUNATE

BUT I DON'T THINK OPIE WOULD HAVE PUSHED HER

IF IT HADN'T BEEN BUILDING UP FOR A LONG TIME ANYWAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "BUILDING UP"?

WELL, CYNTHIA CAN DO A FEW THINGS BETTER THAN OPIE.

LIKE WHAT?!

WELL, SHE OUTRAN HIM, OUTJUMPED HIM

OUT-CARTWHEELED HIM--

THINGS LIKE THAT.

WHEN OPIE GETS OLDER HE'LL UNDERSTAND

THAT NOW AND THEN HE'S GOING TO RUN INTO A GIRL

WHO CAN DO A FEW THINGS BETTER THAN HE CAN.

WELL...

LIKE THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN YOU AND I WENT BOWLING

AND I BEAT YOU?

THAT DIDN'T UPSET YOU.

WELL, NO, NO.

I MEAN, ME... NO, NO.

I MEAN... YOU BEAT ME.

THERE, YOU SEE?

I DIDN'T HAVE MY OWN SHOES...

OH, LOOK AT THE TIME, ANDY.

IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE A MOVIE

I THINK WE'D BETTER GO RIGHT NOW.

OH, YEAH -- WELL, THE WAY I WAS

SLIPPING AND SLIDING AROUND IN THOSE RENTED SHOES,

IT'S NO WONDER YOU BEAT ME.

ANDY TAYLOR, THAT REALLY DID BOTHER YOU.

WHAT BOTHERED ME?

MY BEATING YOU AT BOWLING.

WELL, NO, YOU BEAT ME AT BOWLING.

SO WHAT? WE BOTH KNOW YOU DID IT

'CAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE MY SHOES.

YOUR VOICE IS GETTING SHRILL.

MY VOICE ISN'T GETTING SHRILL.

YOU'RE AS IMMATURE AS OPIE.

WHAT'S OPIE GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

THE POOR YOUNG'UN'S HOME WITH A BLACK EYE

'CAUSE I MADE HIM PLAY WITH YOUR NIECE.

AND WHAT'S SO IMMATURE

ABOUT ME TELLING YOU WHY I DIDN'T BOWL SO GOOD?

GO TO THE MOVIES?

IF YOU DON'T MIND, I THINK I HAVE A HEADACHE.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE, TOO.

WELL, WE'LL JUST MAKE IT ANOTHER TIME.

FINE. ANOTHER TIME.

WELL, GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

UH, I DIDN'T... UH...

I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING OUT

WITH MR. TAYLOR, AUNT HELEN.

OH, WELL, I WAS, DEAR,

BUT MR. TAYLOR AND I HAVE HEADACHES.

OH.

AUNT HELEN, I'VE BEEN THINKING AND THINKING

AND I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHY BOYS THINK THEY HAVE TO BE

BETTER AT EVERYTHING THAN GIRLS ARE.

AUNT HELEN?

OH, WHAT, DEAR?

I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND

WHY BOYS THINK THEY HAVE TO BE BETTER

AT EVERYTHING THAN GIRLS.

OH, WELL, IT... HAS SOMETHING TO DO

WITH... MALE EGO.

WHAT'S THAT?

OH, UH, WELL, YOU SEE, DOWN THROUGH THE CENTURIES,

MAN'S BEEN PROVIDER FOR THE FAMILY

AND PROTECTOR OF WOMEN.

I GUESS HE NATURALLY FEELS HE HAS TO BE STRONGER

AND DO THINGS BETTER THAN WOMEN.

OH.

AND, YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST THINKING

MAYBE IT'S NOT A BAD IDEA

FOR US TO HELP THEM FEEL THAT WAY.

YOU MEAN EVEN WHEN HE ISN'T?

YES, EVEN WHEN HE ISN'T.

IS THAT WHAT YOU DO, AUNT HELEN?

OH, WELL, UH... NOT LATELY, I'M AFRAID.

BUT, YOU KNOW

I THINK IT'S SOMETHING EVERY WOMAN SHOULD THINK ABOUT.

HI.

HI.

DO YOU LIKE TO ROLLER

IT'S OKAY.

I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT ROLLER-SKATING.

I WISH SOMEBODY WOULD TEACH ME HOW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE TAUGHT TO ROLLER-SKATE.

YOU JUST SKATE.

NOT ME.

I BET YOU'RE A WONDERFUL SKATER.

I'M PRETTY GOOD, I GUESS.

OPIE, WOULD YOU TEACH ME HOW TO SKATE?

SURE, I GUESS SO.

WELL, WHAT DO I DO FIRST?

WELL, THE FIRST THING YOU GOT TO REMEMBER

IS TO KEEP YOUR BALANCE.

YOU TAKE KIND OF SHORT STEPS

UNTIL YOU GET THE HANG OF IT

AND THEN YOU START TO KIND OF SWING

YOUR BODY FROM SIDE TO SIDE

UNTIL YOU GET THE HANG OF IT.

BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE SKATING.
