HOW ABOUT THIS, CLARA, HMM?

OH, GOOD, I CAN USE THAT FOR THE POTATO SALAD

AND THEN I CAN USE MY WEDGWOOD PLATE

FOR THE HORS D'OEUVRES.

TELL ME, BEE, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING

ABOUT THE NEW REVEREND YET?

NO, NOT A WORD.

WELL, THE ONE THING I DID HEAR WAS

THAT HE WAS A BACHELOR.

REALLY?

YES, A CONFIRMED BACHELOR.

BUT THEY SO OFTEN CHANGE.

I SUPPOSE SO.

OH! I'VE GOT TO RUN ON HOME AND SHORTEN SOME SKIRTS.

I HAVEN'T EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT MY CLOTHES.

WELL, FOR THE RECEPTION AT MY HOUSE,

I'M PLANNING TO WEAR MY NAVY-BLUE SUIT

WITH MY PRINT BLOUSE AND MY BLACK PUMPS.

OH, THAT SOUNDS LOVELY.

AND THEN FOR THE CHURCH SOCIAL,

JUST THE NAVY-BLUE SKIRT AND, INSTEAD OF

THE PRINT BLOUSE, I'M GOING TO WEAR

THE NAVY BLOUSE FROM MY SILK OUTFIT.

OH?!

AND THEN FOR MAGGIE'S AFFAIR,

I'M PLANNING TO WEAR MY PRINT SKIRT,

MY PRINT BLOUSE, AND MY NAVY-BLUE JACKET.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY SOUNDS LIKE YOU'LL BE

THE BEST-DRESSED WOMAN THERE.

OH, HI, CLARA.

BOY, DID WE CATCH FISH!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME SO EARLY?

WHAT TIME IS IT?

IT MUST BE 3:30.

3:30? GOOD HEAVENS!

I HAVE TO GET READY FOR MY BEAUTY APPOINTMENT.

I'LL CALL YOU, CLARA.

WELL, I MUST BE RUNNING ALONG.

DO YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BEAUTY SHOP, TOO?

I WAS THERE THIS MORNING.

OH.

YOU LOOK REAL NICE.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE, ANDY.

UH... CLARA.

WELL, YOU HANDLED THAT FINE.

THANKS.

AH, YOU DID JUST A WONDERFUL JOB, BERNICE.

IT'S LOVELY. IT'S JUST LOVELY, BERNICE.

AND WITH HER TYPE OF HAIR, IT'LL STAY THAT WAY.

I KNOW, AND I'M JUST THE OPPOSITE.

NO MATTER WHAT I DO

TWO DAYS AFTER I'VE HAD MY HAIR DONE

THE WHOLE THING'S A MESS AGAIN.

OH, I ENVY YOU, HELEN.

AUNT BEE, I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU GO OUT

WHEN YOU DIDN'T LOOK JUST RIGHT.

WELL, WE'VE NEVER HAD SO MANY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS COMING UP.

MY HAIR'S GOING TO BE ONE BIG PROBLEM.

SAY, I DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T THINK OF THIS BEFORE.

OF COURSE, IT'S THE SOLUTION TO THE WHOLE THING.

WHAT? A WIG.

IT'S THE ANSWER FOR YOUR PROBLEMS.

OH, OF COURSE. FOR ME?

I WOULDN'T EVEN THINK OF SUCH A THING.

OH, I MEAN IT, BEE.

OH, NO, AT MY AGE? I'D FEEL SILLY.

THAT SORT OF THING'S FOR GLAMOUR GIRLS.

OH, NONSENSE.

I'VE GOT A WIG THAT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR YOU.

NO, THANK YOU, BERNICE.

I'M NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED.

OKAY, BUT YOU COULD WEAR IT

TO THE FUNCTION FOR THE NEW REVEREND.

I'VE GOT TO RUN. SEE YOU LATER. THANK YOU.

Bernice: SEE YOU NEXT WEEK.

GOODBYE, HELEN.

THAT HELEN IS THE SWEETEST GIRL.

I SUPPOSE THEY'RE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE, HMM?

HUH? WIGS.

OH, NO, NO, NO, NO.

NOT AT ALL. NO PROBLEM.

IF YOU LIKE, I COULD GO GET THE ONE...

BERNICE, PLEASE, I'VE TOLD YOU

I'M NOT INTERESTED.

I WOULDN'T CONSIDER WEARING ONE.

OKAY.

BOY, I'LL SURE BE GLAD WHEN THIS DAY'S OVER.

I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD A MINUTE TO SIT DOWN.

ONE CUSTOMER AFTER ANOTHER.

BOY, I COULD SURE USE ANOTHER GIRL AROUND HERE.

ARE THEY EASY TO COMB?

WHAT? OH... OH, YES.

WELL, THEY KEEP THEIR SET.

YOU HARDLY EVER HAVE TO TOUCH THEM.

LET ME GO GET IT FOR YOU.

BERNICE, WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP THE SUBJECT?

I'VE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY I DO NOT WANT A WIG.

NOW, IT'S RIDICULOUS.

LET'S DROP THE SUBJECT, HMM?

OKAY.

I SUPPOSE THEY COME IN ALL COLORS, HMM?

SAY, YOU KNOW, ANDY,

I'M KIND OF LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE NEXT TWO SUNDAYS.

YEAH, A NEW PREACHER, HUH?

YEAH. GET A LITTLE NEW BLOOD UP IN THE PULPIT.

YEAH. OF COURSE, I ALWAYS THOUGHT

REVEREND TUCKER DID A FINE JOB.

YEAH. EXCEPT I KNEW

EVERY ONE OF HIS SERMONS BY HEART.

OF COURSE, A LOT OF THAT'S OUR FAULT.

OUR FAULT?

WELL, THERE ARE SO FEW SINS IN THIS TOWN.

WE NEVER GAVE HIM MUCH TO WORK WITH.

WELL... IS THAT BAD?

I DIDN'T SAY IT WAS BAD.

YOU MISSED MY POINT COMPLETELY.

NO, NO, WHAT I... WHAT I MEANT WAS...

YOU'RE NOT LISTENING, ANDY.

OH. GO AHEAD, FLOYD.

OKAY.

NOW, AS I WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU...

WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT?

REVEREND TUCKER.

OH, YES, FINE MAN.

NOW, ANDY... YOU CAN TELL ME.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST HIM?

YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEW REVEREND?

OH, NO, NO, BUT HIS PICTURE'S RIGHT HERE IN THE PAPER.

YEAH. HE'S A FINE-LOOKING MAN.

YEAH. BACHELOR, TOO.

I GOT AN IDEA HE'S GOING TO HAVE

A LOT OF THESE OLDER SINGLE GALS ALL AFLUTTER.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

: YEAH, ZIP-A-DEE-DOO-DAH.

Floyd: SAY, BEATRICE...

OH.

: OH...

OH, HELLO, FLOYD.

HELLO, ANDY.

OH, HI, AUNT BEE.

DID YOU SEE THE PICTURE OF THE NEW REVEREND?

YES. HE'S VERY DISTINGUISHED.

AND DID YOU KNOW HE WAS A BACHELOR?

OH, REALLY?

I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

OH, FLOYD...

WELL, YOU GOT YOURSELF A NEW HAT, HUH?

WELL... OH...

OOH, YOU'RE GOING TO GET ALL PRETTIED UP

LIKE THE REST OF THE WOMEN IN TOWN.

OH, AUNT BEE DOESN'T NEED TO GET PRETTIED UP.

SHE'S PRETTY AS SHE IS.

WELL, I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO

THAN STAND HERE GABBING WITH YOU TWO. GOODBYE.

BYE.

WHEN ARE YOU GETTING HOME

FROM MISS EDWARDS'S RECEPTION TONIGHT, PAW?

IF YOUR AUNT BEE DOESN'T HURRY UP,

WE MAY NOT GET THERE AT ALL.

AUNT BEE, YOU COMING?

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TAKES HER SO LONG.

OH, COME HERE-- YOUR TIE.

ALL YOU MEN HAVE TO DO

IS SHOWER AND SHAVE AND GET DRESSED.

WE WOMEN HAVE TO DO OUR HAIR, OUR NAILS...

HI.

Helen: AUNT BEE!

YOU DID IT!

YOU DYED YOUR HAIR.

LIKE A MOVIE ACTRESS.

NO, ANDY, I DIDN'T DYE MY HAIR.

I SIMPLY...

YOU'VE BEEN LIVING HERE SIX YEARS

AND I'VE SEEN YOU EVERY DAY OF IT

AND I KNOW THE COLOR OF YOUR HAIR

AND THAT AIN'T IT.

ANDY, IF YOU'D JUST LISTEN...

IT'S FIXED DIFFERENT, TOO.

OF COURSE IT IS. ANDY...

EVEN A TEN-YEAR-OLD BOY CAN TELL THAT.

TWELVE.

HUSH.

ANDY, AUNT BEE IS WEARING A WIG.

A WHAT?

A WIG?

I THINK IT LOOKS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

YOU'RE WEARING A WIG?

OH, WELL, ANDY, I'M ONLY WEARING IT FOR CONVENIENCE.

THAT'S NOT YOUR HAIR?

NO, OPIE, IT'S... SOMEBODY ELSE'S.

OF COURS IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE'S

AND YOU JUST GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE THAT OFF

AND GIVE IT BACK TO 'EM.

YOUR OWN HAIR'S FINE. WE'LL JUST FLUFF THAT UP AND GO.

ANDY, THERE'S NOTHING THE MATTER

WITH AUNT BEE WEARING A WIG.

I THINK IT LOOKS VERY ATTRACTIVE.

OH, ANDY, I'M ONLY WEARING IT

BECAUSE MY HAIR'S SUCH A PROBLEM.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE STARING AT YOU.

WELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE IT.

YOU GOT SOMETHING TO DO?

OH, ANDY, LOTS OF WOMEN WEAR WIGS.

I DON'T CARE WHAT OTHER WOMEN DO.

I DON'T WANT PEOPLE STARING AT US

SO JUST GO UPSTAIRS AND TAKE THAT OFF.

YOU LEAVE IT ON.

IT LOOKS JUST PERFECT.

COME ON, AUNT BEE. LET'S GO.

Andy: WELL...

UH...

HAVE A GOOD TIME, PAW.

YES, YES, YES.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'D SAY

THAT TAKING AN INTEREST IN COMMUNITY AFFAIRS

IS ONE OF THE FIRST REQUIREMENTS OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

OH, HOW TRUE.

A VERY INTERESTING THOUGHT.

HOW MANY TIMES I'VE SAID JUST THAT SAME THING TO MYSELF.

WE MUST HAVE A GREAT DEAL IN COMMON, REVEREND.

HAVE ANOTHER?

OH... LET ME SEE...

EXCELLENT.

THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES I MADE.

FLO, YOU OUTDID YOURSELF.

TRY ONE WITH THE PICKLES, REVEREND.

I MADE THOSE.

IT'LL BE MY VERY NEXT CHOICE.

OH, PARDON ME.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

UH, CLARA... GOOD FOOD.

NO COMPLAINTS.

THANK YOU.

OH, COME RIGHT IN.

SO NICE TO SEE YOU, HELEN, ANDY

BEE...

YOU'RE WEARING A...

CLARA, YOU LOOK JUST LOVELY.

THANK YOU.

LOOKS LIKE A NICE GATHERING, CLARA.

YES, IT LOOK... IT LOOKS NICE.

WELL, I THINK YOU KNOW EVERYONE HERE.

: YES, HI...

HI. GOOD EVENING.

GOOD EVENING.

REVEREND LEIGHTON

I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO MEET MISS BEE TAYLOR

MISS HELEN CRUMP...

AND OUR SHERIFF, ANDREW TAYLOR.

REVEREND. IT'S A PLEASURE.

WELCOME TO MAYBERRY, REVEREND.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY.

OH, THANK YOU.

SHERIFF, HUH?

YES.

I KNEW YOU WERE IMPORTANT

THE WAY EVERYBODY STARED AT YOUR LITTLE GROUP.

OH... WELL, I GUESS...

I GUESS THAT... THAT'S THE WAY IT GOES.

LET ME TAKE YOUR WRAP, PLEASE.

OH, THANK YOU, CLARA.

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T THINK IT DOES A THING FOR HER.

LOOKS RIDICULOUS.

Aunt Bee: CLARA...

MY HANKIE.

BEE, IT LOOKS LOVELY.

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU.

WELL...

WELL, REVEREND, HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE

TO FORM ANY IMPRESSION OF MAYBERRY YET?

YES. I THINK IT'S COMPLETELY CHARMING.

AND I MUST SAY, I'VE NEVER BEEN IN ANY TOWN

WHERE THE WOMEN ARE MORE FASHIONABLE.

I'VE DONE A LOT OF READING ON THOSE THINGS.

A LOT OF THAT HAIR THEY USE IN WIGS

COMES FROM CHINA.

OH, REALLY?

YES.

THEY'VE GOT GOOD HAIR OVER THERE.

I WONDER IF BEE'S IS CHINESE HAIR.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

HEY, BEE!

YES, FLOYD?

UH, NOTHING, NOTHING.

: LOOKS REAL PRETTY.

UH, SOME CHINESE LADY LOST A NICE HEAD OF HAIR.

OH, REVEREND, I'M AFRAID YOU'RE BEING NEGLECTED.

WON'T YOU TRY ONE OF MY CHOPPED EGG CANAPES?

NO, NO, NO, I'M FINE.

OH, I SEE.

THE REVEREND WAS DISCUSSING HIS SUNDAY SERMON.

OH. YOU GOT ANY IDEAS YET, REVEREND?

A FEW, A FEW.

OFFHAND, IT SEEMS LIKE IT OUGHT TO EMBRACE

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF MAYBERRY AND ITS PEOPLE.

EVERYBODY'S SO PLEASANT, SO NATURAL.

NO PRETENSE.

YES, I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT IDEA.

QUITE TO THE POINT.

WELL, YOU-YOU MUST HAVE A LOT OF OTHER SERMONS.

WELL, YES, YOU MUST.

OH, NO, NO.

NO, I THINK THAT'D BE VERY INTERESTING.

YES, I THINK I'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THAT.

"BE YOURSELF," PERHAPS.

YES. "BE YOURSELF."

I'M SURE THAT'LL MAKE A GOOD SERMON.

* SOWING IN THE MORNING, SOWING SEEDS OF KINDNESS *

* SOWING IN THE NOONTIDE AND THE DEWY EVE *

* WAITING FOR THE HARVEST AND THE TIME OF REAPING *

* WE SHALL COME REJOICING, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES *

* BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES *

* WE SHALL COME REJOICING, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES *

* BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES *

* WE SHALL COME REJOICING, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES. *

I'VE KNOWN YOUR REVEREND TUCKER FOR A LONG TIME.

A WONDERFUL PERSON.

I'VE TURNED TO HIM FOR COUNSEL AND GUIDANCE

ON MANY OCCASIONS.

I'VE OFTEN WONDERED WHICH OF HIS MANY QUALITIES

I ADMIRED THE MOST

AND I BELIEVE IT CAME TO ME WHEN I MET SO MANY OF YOU

HONEST, SINCERE AND UNPRETENTIOUS PEOPLE.

REVEREND TUCKER, ABOVE ALL

KNOWS HOW TO BE HIMSELF.

WHAT A VIRTUE THAT IS--

BEING ONESELF.

I BELIEVE WE ACTUALLY OWE IT TO EACH OTHER

TO BE WHAT WE REALLY ARE.

NO DECEPTION

NO PRETENSE OF ANY KIND.

FLOYD, QUIT.

I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT IN MAYBERRY

I'VE FOUND MANY OF THESE CHARACTERISTICS

AND IT'S FOR THAT REASON I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO KNOWING

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU PERSONALLY.

LET US CONTINUE THROUGHOUT OUR LIVES

TO ALWAYS BE OURSELVES.

FLOYD, WILL YOU MOVE?

I HAVE TO STUDY THIS.

WELL, YOU'VE BEEN STUDYING IT.

YOU SEE?

YOU RUSHED ME.

AW, FLOYD.

DIDN'T HE RUSH ME? I DON'T KNOW.

THE TWO OF YOU STICK TOGETHER, DON'T YOU?

IT'S THE REVEREND AND AUNT BEE.

WELL, COME AWAY FROM THE WINDOW.

DON'T BE STARING AT THEM.

SOMETHING'S COOKING THERE, HUH?

OH, HUSH, FLOYD.

FAST WORKER FOR A REVEREND.

HE'S COMING OVER FOR SUPPER TONIGHT, ISN'T HE?

OH.

WELL, IT'S OUR TURN, FLOYD.

EVERYBODY IN THE CONGREGATION'S

HAVING HIM OVER.

PLAY, PLAY, PLAY, PLAY.

HELLO.

WELL, HI, BEE.

I DIDN'T HEAR YOU DRIVE UP WITH THE REVEREND.

WELL, CLARA AND I WERE SHOWING HIM AROUND TOWN

AND HE JUST DROPPED ME OFF.

OH, FLOYD, WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP LOOKING AT MY HAIR.

I'M JUST CURIOUS, BEE.

I WAS TELLING SOMEBODY THE OTHER NIGHT

THAT A LOT OF THAT STUFF COMES FROM CHINA.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

GET A LOT OF GOOD THINGS FROM CHINA-- HAIR, NOODLES.

OH. OPIE, COME ON.

I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU TO DO.

FLOYD, WILL YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT AUNT BEE'S WIG.

IT EMBARRASSES HER.

I WON'T SAY ANYTHING TO THE REVEREND.

DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.

BUT SHE'S ON DANGEROUS GROUND.

YOU KNOW THAT.

WHAT?

REMEMBER FLUFFY JOHNSON?

FROM THE GAS COMPANY?

WELL, SHE HAD HER EYE ON ORVILLE PORTNOY.

WHO?

NIGHT MAN AT THE BAKERY.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, SHE TRIED WEARING THOSE FALSE FINGERNAILS.

YOU KNOW THAT LONG LOOK?

ONE DAY SHE STARTED SHAKING HER FINGER AT HIM

AND THE NAIL FELL OFF.

OH, THAT WAS A REAL SHOCKER FOR ORVILLE.

LED TO A FIGHT, AND FLUFFY STARTED CRYING

AND SHE PUT HER HANDKERCHIEF UP TO HER EYES

AND HER EYELASHES CAME OFF, TOO.

ALL I'M TRYING TO SAY IS

AUNT BEE'S GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM WEARING THAT WIG

WHEN SHE GOES OUT WITH THE REVEREND.

YOU KNOW, A FELLA LIKES TO KNOW WHAT HE'S BUYING.

"BUYING"?

I MEAN, IF THIS THING SHOULD GET SERIOUS

SOONER OR LATER HE'S GOING TO FIND OUT ABOUT IT.

WELL, YEAH.

I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE

ANOTHER FLUFFY ON YOUR HANDS.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

PLAY.

WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING ON GREETING

THE REVEREND IN TONIGHT, YOUR PERSIAN SCARF, THERE?

OH, OF COURSE NOT -- I ONLY TOOK THE WIG OFF

WHILE I'M WORKING AROUND THE KITCHEN.

I'LL HAVE TIME TO GET IT ON BEFORE HE GETS HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DON'T SAVE YOURSELF

A LOT OF GRIEF AND JUST FORGET THAT THING.

AFTER THAT SERMON THIS MORNING,

"BE NATURAL, BE YOURSELF"?

WELL, LIKE FLOYD SAYS, HE'S GOING TO

FIND OUT ABOUT IT, SOONER OR LATER.

YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ANOTHER FLUFFY, DO YOU?

NO.

FAMILY'S LIVED IN THIS COUNTY FOR THREE GENERATIONS --

FIRST TIME WE DIDN'T USE OUR OWN HAIR.

OH!

Opie: I'LL GET IT.

OH, THAT'S PROBABLY HELEN.

ANDY, I'LL ONLY WEAR IT WHILE THE REVEREND'S HERE.

HE'LL BE GONE IN TWO WEEKS.

AND I PROMISE I'LL NEVER WEAR IT AGAIN.

I HOPE SO.

IT'S REVEREND LEIGHTON.

WHAT?

HE SAID HE COULDN'T REMEMBER WHETHER IT WAS 6:00 OR 6:30

SO, TO BE SAFE, HE CAME EARLY.

WELL, GO ENTERTAIN HIM TILL WE GET THERE.

WHAT'LL I DO?

JUST ENTERTAIN HIM.

GO ON.

ANDY, ANDY, WILL YOU GO UP AND GET MY WIG?

AUNT BEE.

PLEASE DO AS I ASK.

AND DON'T TAKE IT OFF THE FOAM.

IT'LL GET ALL MUSSED UP.

WELL, HOW...?

DON'T YOU LET HIM SEE WHAT YOU'RE CARRYING.

PUT IT IN SOMETHING.

ANYTHING.

PICK A CARD, ANY CARD.

HI.

HELLO, SHERIFF.

I HAVE TO GO UPSTAIRS.

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL JUST SEE YOU.

Opie: TWO OF CLUBS.

HI.

YOU GOING BOWLING NOW, PAW?

AH... NO.

THERE'S A, A FELLA WANTS TO, UH, BORROW

MY, MY BOWLING, UH, BALL, YOU KNOW

AND HE SAID HE'D COME TO THE BACK DOOR.

PAW, NOBODY EVER COMES TO THE BACK DOOR.

YOU DON'T KNOW THIS FELLA.

SEE YOU.

PSST, PSST.

I NEED A MIRROR -- A BIG MIRROR.

WHERE AM I...?

PLEASE.

WELL, UH...

SHH.

NO. THE TEN OF DIAMONDS.

I SHUFFLED THEM WRONG.

HI.

HI.

I BELIEVE I'LL CLEAN THE MIRROR.

OH? SUNDAY.

AUNT BEE CLEANED IT YESTERDAY, PAW.

YOU CAN'T HAVE A MIRROR TOO CLEAN

RIGHT, REV... VEREND?

I GUESS NOT.

I'LL SEE YOU.

OH, HERE.

NOW, PUT THAT THING ON AND LET'S GET OUT THERE.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME MORE?

I'M JUST FINE.

MISS TAYLOR, THAT WAS A SUPERB MEAL.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT.

AUNT BEE'S THE BEST COOK IN MAYBERRY.

OH, NOW, HELEN.

WELL, UH, REVEREND, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US.

OPIE HAS HOMEWORK TO DO

AND ANDY AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DISHES.

YOU HEARD THE TEACHER.

GOODNIGHT, EVERYBODY.

GOODNIGHT, OPIE.

OH, I SHOULD HELP.

OH, HEAVENS, YOU DID ALL THE COOKING.

EXCUSE US.

WON'T YOU SIT DOWN, REVEREND?

OH, THANK YOU.

EXCUSE ME.

CERTAINLY.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY ENJOYED TODAY.

I DID, TOO.

MISS TAYLOR, I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYBODY ELSE THIS

BUT I'VE BEEN OFFERED A PARISH

JUST OVER IN MT. PILOT.

OH.

YOU KNOW, I MIGHT JUST TAKE THAT PARISH.

YOU MIGHT?

YES.

THEN I CAN DROP BACK TO MAYBERRY NOW AND THEN

AND VISIT SOME OF YOU CHARMING PEOPLE.

HMM, WELL, THAT WOULD BE VERY NICE.

YOU KNOW, MOST TIMES WHEN I'M INVITED TO A MEAL

AT SOMEBODY'S HOUSE, IT'S A HUSBAND AND WIFE AND ME.

IT'S SO MUCH NICER WHEN THERE'S A SINGLE LADY PRESENT.

WELL...

I DON'T MEAN TO BE PRESUMPTUOUS, BUT...

WELL, I'D ENJOY VERY MUCH COMING BACK TO THE TAYLOR HOME.

OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T.

I BEG YOUR PARDON?

NO, NO. I'M NOT MYSELF.

NO. I DIDN'T MEAN TO KEEP ANY SECRETS.

IT'S JUST THAT SOME WOMEN

HAVE MORE TROUBLE WITH THEIR HAIR

AND I HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THEM.

WHAT IS IT?

I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT

UNTIL YOU GAVE THAT SERMON

AND THEN I WAS AFRAID THAT IF YOU FOUND OUT...

MISS TAYLOR, TELL ME.

I WEAR A WIG.

OH.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO DECEIVE ANYBODY.

OH, IF YOU WERE A WOMAN, YOU'D UNDERSTAND.

MISS TAYLOR, IF YOU WEAR A WIG,

I'M SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD REASON.

YES. THERE ARE ALL THESE SOCIAL EVENTS COMING UP.

THE DINNERS AND THE RECEPTIONS.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO...

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN.

NO?

YOU'RE NOT DISAPPOINTED?

NO, NO, I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL.

I HAVE A NICE HEAD OF HAIR.

I'M SURE YOU DO.

I'M SO RELIEVED.

WELL, FRESH POT OF COFFEE IN CASE ANYBODY WANTS ANY.

AH, THAT SOUNDS JUST ABOUT PERFECT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD ANDY

WHEN HE FIRST SAW ME IN THIS.

YOU TOLD HIM ABOUT...?

THAT'S RIGHT

AND I'M GLAD IT'S ALL OVER.

OH, I AM, TOO.

REVEREND, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH

TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM FINDING OUT

AUNT BEE IS WEARING A WIG.

I NEVER WANTED HER TO PUT THAT THING ON.

NOW THAT IT'S ALL OUT IN THE OPEN

I GUESS YOU WON'T HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE

WITH DESIGNING FEMALES.

Clara: YOO-HOO.

OH, COME IN, CLARA.

UH, REVEREND, I JUST HAPPENED TO BE PASSING BY

AND I WONDER IF YOU'D CARE TO DROP OVER

AND WE CAN SELECT THE HYMNS FOR NEXT SUNDAY'S SERVICE.

I HAVE SOME WONDERFUL IDEAS.

* ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS I STAND *

* AND CAST A WISHFUL EYE *

* O THE TRANSPORTING, RAPTUROUS SCENE *

* THAT RISES TO MY SIGHT *

* SWEET FIELDS ARRAYED IN LIVING GREEN *

* AND RIVERS OF DELIGHT. *

VERY NICE, ANDY.

THAT WAS ONE OF REVEREND LEIGHTON'S

FAVORITE HYMNS.

HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM, AUNT BEE?

YES, I HAD A CARD FROM HIM LAST WEEK.

IT'S TOO BAD HE DECIDED TO STAY UP IN RALEIGH.

YOU MEAN, HE'S NOT GOING TO TAKE

THE PARISH AT MT. PILOT?

NO, HIS PARISHIONERS INSISTED HE REMAIN IN RALEIGH.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL HIM ABOUT THE WIG, AFTER ALL.

( whistling "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand" )
