WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FOR LUNCH TODAY?

WELL, I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT, GOOBER.

IT'S JUST 9:30.

OH.

I JUST HAPPENED TO BE THINKING ABOUT IT.

DINER?

I DON'T KNOW.

ME NEITHER.

YOU KNOW, THEY'RE HAVING A NICE RUN OF CORN BEEF

OVER AT THE DRUGSTORE COUNTER.

YEAH?

YEAH. OF COURSE, IT DEPENDS A LOT

ON JUST WHAT TIME YOU GET THERE.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH, IF YOU GET THERE AT 12:00,

WHEN THEY FIRST START CARVING IT,

IT'S GOT THAT STUFF ON THE END.

THE LITTLE PIECES?

YOU WANT A REAL GOOD SANDWICH, YOU GOT TO

HIT THAT BEEF ABOUT 12:30.

YEAH, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, THEN.

YEAH, BIG SLICES.

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

WHY DON'T WE JUST GO OVER THERE ABOUT 12:30?

OKAY.

OF COURSE, WE GOT A COUPLE HOURS TO DECIDE.

YEAH, THERE'S NO USE RUSHING INTO IT.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE DARLINGS.

WELL! HEY, MR. DARLING!

HOW ARE YOU? HEY, THERE, CHARLENE!

A LOT OF POLLYWOGS IS FROGS

SINCE LAST WE LAID EYES ON YOU.

WELL, IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU, TOO.

HEY, BOYS.

Briscoe: EASY, BOYS.

YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME WE COME TO TOWN,

THEY JUST GET ALL HET UP.

YEAH, THEY'RE A WILD BUNCH.

BOY, YOU'RE HERE EARLY.

YOU MUST HAVE STARTED DRIVING BEFORE SUNUP.

THAT DON'T MAKE NO NEVER MIND

NOW YOU MADE US PUT LIGHTS ON THE TRUCK.

IT SURE BEATS HAVING DOUG OUT THERE ON THE HOOD,

HOLDING OUT A LANTERN.

HE'S ALWAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT BUGS HITTING HIM.

THEN HE'D GET ACTING CUTE

AND FALL OFF ABOUT EVERY OTHER CHUCKHOLE.

YEAH, THAT DOUG'S A CAUTION.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO TOWN THIS TIME?

WELL, SHERIFF, WE...

WHAT I GOT TO TELL YOU IS PRIVATE.

UH, GOOB...

DON'T YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO?

NO, NOT A THING, ANDY.

YOU GOT BIG EARS, AIN'T YOU?

NO, I AIN'T GOT BIG EARS.

BOY, LIKE THE SHERIFF SAID, YOU GOT THINGS TO DO.

WELL, YEAH.

I HAVE.

I'LL, I'LL SEE YOU, GOOB.

WELL?

NOW, THIS IS JUST 'TWIXT US.

OH, I WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

CROSS YOUR HEART, HOPE TO JUMP A STUMP?

YES, I DO.

WELL, SHERIFF...

US DARLINGS HAS COME INTO A FORTUNE.

JUST SOLD A PASSEL OF LAND

TO THE MAYBERRY COUNTY GOVERNMENT FOR $300.

AMERICAN. JUST COME TO TOWN TO PICK UP THE MONEY.

WELL, HOW AM I GOING TO TALK TO RICH FOLKS LIKE YOU?

SHERIFF, WE WANT YOU TO TREAT US JUST LIKE BEFORE.

JUST LIKE WE WAS POOR FOLKS, LIKE YOURSELF.

OKEY-DOKE.

OH, AND THAT AIN'T ALL.

NOW THAT WE COME INTO A FORTUNE

AND CAN AFFORD TO FEED A FEW EXTRA MOUTHS

I'M GOING TO GET MY BOYS HERE MARRIED.

NO KIDDING.

WELL, NOW THAT IS NEWS.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF 'EM

IS GOING TO GET HIMSELF NUPTIALED.

YOU KNOW, THEY'VE BEEN JUST LIKE

A BUNCH OF CAGED LIONS SINCE I TOLD 'EM.

ESPECIALLY RODNEY, THERE.

HE'S, UH...

JITTERY.

OH, I CAN SEE.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

WITH ALL THIS HAPPENING TO THE DARLING FAMILY

WE OUGHT TO HAVE A CELEBRATION.

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

SOME OF MISS BEE'S COOKING, YOU'RE ON.

I TELL YOU WHAT --

I'LL GO IN THERE AND CALL HER

AND YOU MEET ME AT MY HOUSE AT 12:00.

GOOD, THAT'LL GIVE ME TIME TO GET THE BOYS CURRIED UP.

MAKE UP SOME MUSIC THERE TO COVER THE ENGINE NOISE.

GET OUT OF THE WAY YONDER!

SEE YOU AT THE HOUSE.

NO, PLENTY. PLENTY.

WELL, MISS BEE,

YOU SURE AIN'T LOST YOUR TOUCH WITH A SKILLET.

WELL, THANK YOU.

TELL ME SOMETHING--

WHAT WAS THAT THING YOU HAD LAYING THERE

'TWIXT THE TATERS AND THE BLACK

THE STEAK?

MOUTHWATERING. I GOT TO LEARN

WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL YOU CHOPPED THAT OFF OF.

AND THEM MUFFINS, PA.

WE GOT TO GET THE RECIPE.

THEY WAS LARRUPIN'.

HOW ABOUT A TUNE?

WANT TO PICK ALONG, SHERIFF?

YOU LIKE "SALTY DOG"?

"SALTY DOG'S" GOOD.

GIVE ME MY JUG, RODNEY.

NOW, YOU BOYS TAKE THE MAIN TUNE

AND I'LL KIND OF GARGLE OUT THE TRIMMINGS.

WATCH IT, YOU LUNKHEAD.

YOU DON'T THROW AROUND A FINE INSTRUMENT LIKE THIS.

NOW, YOU READY?

ONE, TWO, ONE.

* STANDING ON THE CORNER WITH THE LOWDOWN BLUES *

AW. PLAY BETTER AND BETTER!

VERY ENJOYABLE.

NOW, COME ON, BOYS, AND SIT DOWN.

YOU BOYS BEST STAND.

NO SENSE IN SITTING DOWN AND GETTING UP AGAIN

TO TAKE THE CREASE OUT OF YOUR PANTS.

WELL, ISN'T IT EXCITING?

THE BOYS ARE GOING TO GET MARRIED.

IT CERTAINLY IS.

NOW THAT THEY GOT $300 IN BACK OF 'EM

OUTSIDE OF THEIR NATURAL CHARMS, OF COURSE.

BUT WE'RE GOING

TO TAKE IT STEP BY STEP.

FIRST OFF, I'M GOING TO FIND A WIFE

FOR DEAN THERE. UH...

THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A BIT OF DOING.

HE'S TOO SHORT.

THE ONLY SHORT ONE I EVER FOALED.

WELL, I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND

PLENTY OF WIVES FOR THE BOYS

RIGHT UP THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

MOUNTAINS?

WITH $300?

I WANT CITY GIRLS FOR MY BOYS.

THAT'S THE MAIN REASON WE COME TO MAYBERRY.

YOU MEAN TO TELL ME

THAT YOU'VE COME DOWN HERE INTO TOWN

TO FIND WIVES FOR THOSE BOYS?

WHY NOT?

NICE BOYS LIKE I GOT.

TAKE MITCH THERE.

STRONG AS AN OX

AND ALMOST AS BRIGHT

AND CAN DO HIS SUMS, UP TO AND INCLUDING THREE.

BUT, BUT, BRISCOE--

AND HE'S PRETTY, TOO.

LOOK AT THEM FINE, CHISELED FEATURES.

CHISEL HIT HIM RIGHT HERE.

WELL, UH...

THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE FINE BOYS.

NOW, I'M NOT QUESTIONING THAT

BUT YOU, YOU CAN'T JUST

JUST SWOOP DOWN INTO TOWN

AND FIND WIVES JUST LIKE THAT.

WELL, SHERIFF,

WE DON'T EXPECT TO RUSH INTO ANYTHING.

GOOD.

MIGHT TAKE THE REST OF THE DAY.

MR. DARLING, COURTSHIPS IN MAYBERRY TAKE AT LEAST A YEAR.

I'VE SEEN THEM TAKE FIVE.

FIVE OR SIX.

NOT THE WAY WE OPERATE.

WE'LL JUST GO DOWN THERE ON MAIN STREET AND WAIT

FOR THEM FEMALE HEARTS TO START FLUTTERING.

EVERYBODY ON THE TRUCK.

UH, CHARLENE, UH, YOU BEST STAY HERE.

WELL, UH...

I DON'T WANT HER TO BE ALONE

WHILST WE'RE DOWN THERE ON MAIN STREET

BIRD-DOGGING IT.

MIGHT NOT BE LADY-LIKE.

WELL, MISTER, MR. DARLING, UM...

UH, MISTER, UH...

I, UH, I'VE GOT TO GO.

I'VE GOT TO GO, I'VE GOT TO, I'VE GOT TO FIND GOOBER.

AM I ALLOWED TO ARREST THEM, TOO?

OH, NO, NO.

JUST FOLLOW THEM AROUND.

IF THEY BOTHER ANYBODY, COME AND TELL ME.

YO.

WELL?

WELL, YOU PROMISED ME A BADGE.

HERE.

THERE.

VERY NICE, GOOBER.

WELL, GO ON.

RIGHT... CHIEF.

GO ON, GO ON.

THEY SOUND LIKE A WILD BUNCH.

YOU NEVER MET 'EM, DID YOU?

NO.

WELL, YOU BETTER KNOW THEY'RE A WILD BUNCH.

OH, MAYBE THEY JUST HAVE THEIR OWN WAYS.

YOU EVER TRY TALKING TO A STONE WALL?

I'M TELLING YOU, BRISCOE DARLING IS SERIOUS

ABOUT FINDING WIVES FOR THOSE BOYS HERE IN MAYBERRY

AND HE THINKS HE'S GOT FOUR ROCK HUDSONS THERE.

WELL, GOOD LUCK.

OKAY.

I BETTER GET BACK TO SCHOOL.

UNLESS, OF COURSE

YOU WANT TO SIGN ME IN AS YOUR DEPUTY.

I'VE RUN OUT OF BADGES.

OH, OKAY. SEE YOU TONIGHT?

TONIGHT.

TAKE A POINT TO THE RIGHT HERE, BOYS.

GOT TO AGREE WITH YOU--

TOO SKINNY.

LIKELY TO BE SICKLY.

COMING UP ON THE LEFT, BOYS.

YOU'RE FOR CERTAIN RIGHT.

TOO BIG A MOUTH TO FEED.

WELL?

THEY MOVED OVER TO ELM STREET

AND SET THERE FOR AN HOUR AND TEN MINUTES.

THEN THEY STOOD IN FRONT OF THE DINER FOR ANOTHER HOUR

AND THEY MOVED OVER TO THE PARK...

I DON'T CARE WHERE THEY WENT, GOOBER.

DID THEY BOTHER ANYBODY?

THEY JUST OGLED GIRLS.

SHERIFF?

WHAT?

JUST COME BY TO GIVE YOU MY SYMPATHIES.

WHAT FOR?

I SURE UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE STILL A SINGLE MAN.

THE PICKINGS IN THIS TOWN IS MIGHTY SLIM.

NOT ONE FEMALE WE SAW COME UP TO MUSTER.

OH, WELL, I'M SURE SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BRISCOE.

THEY COULDN'T HAVE SEEN ALL THE GIRLS...

GOOBER!

WHAT WAS YOU SAYING, BIG EAR?

MAKE HIM QUIT CALLING ME BIG EAR.

WHAT, UH, WHAT-WHAT GOOBER WAS TRYING TO SAY

IS THAT IT IS TRUE THAT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING

TO FIND A GIRL HERE IN MAYBERRY

IT'S PRETTY SLIM PICKINGS.

YOU CAN SURE SAY THAT AGAIN.

WE'RE GOING BACK UP TO THE HILLS

AND TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT CROP.

YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

GOT TO GO PICK UP CHARLENE

AND SAY FAREWELL TO MISS AUNT BEE.

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, SHERIFF.

I'LL SEE YOU!

MISS BEE, I SURE DO WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR THAT FINE LUNCH.

YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME, BRISCOE.

ALL OF YOU ARE.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO MISS BEE, BOYS?

OH, IT WAS NOTHING.

CHARLENE, DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?

Aunt Bee: IT'S AN OWL.

NOT JUST AN OWL, MA'AM, THAT'S AN OMEN

AND WE COULDN'T OF BEEN HANKERING

FOR A BETTER ONE RIGHT NOW.

REALLY?

THE MOST POWERFUL OMEN THERE IS.

ONE OF THE BOYS IS GOING

TO GET HISSELF A BRIDE AFTER ALL.

YOU SEE AN OWL AT DAYTIME

AND THE NEXT FEMALE YOU SEE

IS SURE ENOUGH THE BRIDE FOR THEE.

THE NEXT FEMALE Y...?

OH, WELL, YOU DON'T REALLY BELIEVE THAT.

MA'AM, YOU DON'T DOUBT THE OMEN OF THE OWL?

WHAT?!

THAT'S RIGHT, MA'AM, YOU GET YOUR PICK.

ANY ONE OF THESE FINE, UPSTANDING BOYS

IS YOURS FOR A LIFE OF WEDDED BLISS.

WILL YOU PLEASE JUST GET OUT OF MY WAY?

MR. DARLING, YOU STOP ALL THIS NONSENSE

AND LEAVE HER ALONE.

I WAS KIND OF HOPING YOU'D COTTON UP TO DEAN HERE.

RODNEY HERE-- HE'S A FUN-LOVING ONE

AND DOUG OVER THERE IS KIND OF TALL...

MR. DARLING! FOR THE LAST TIME.

PLEASE, MISS BEE, I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP

BUT LET THE LADY DECIDE FOR HERSELF.

MR. DARLING, I'M SIMPLY NOT INTERESTED

IN MARRYING ANY OF YOUR SONS.

NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

THE COURTSHIP'S GOING TO TAKE AT LEAST TWO DAYS.

THEN WHICHEVER ONE FINDS YOUR HEARTSTRINGS, HE'S YOURS.

MR. DARLING!

SHERIFF! I GOT ME A NEW SISTER-IN-LAW!

WE FINALLY GOT US A BRIDE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE OWL MADE THE MATCH.

THE OWL?

OH, SOME SILLY OMEN THEY SAW.

SILLY?

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BRIDE AND YOU SEE AN OWL AT DAY

THE NEXT FEMALE YOU COME ACROSS

HAS STOLE YOUR HEART AWAY.

ANDY, DO SOMETHING!

LOOK, IT SO HAPPENS THAT MISS CRUMP...

MISS CRUMP?

SOCIETY, EH?

OH!

LOOK, SHE, UH... SHE... SHE'S NOT INTERESTED

IN ANY OF YOUR BOYS.

WELL, IT'S FITTING

THAT A GIRL DO A LITTLE BALKING.

SHE WOULDN'T BE A LADY

IF AN' SHE DIDN'T.

MAYBE THIS'LL STRAIGHTEN IT OUT FOR YOU.

IT SO HAPPENS THAT MISS CRUMP IS MY GIRL.

STEADY, BOYS.

YOUR GIRL?

YES.

WELL, SHERIFF, THAT COMES A SURPRISE.

WHY, YOU'RE A GOOD FRIEND AND ALL THAT

AND I HATE TO TAKE YOUR GIRL AWAY FROM YOU

BUT AN OMEN IS AN OMEN.

ANDY?! BRISCOE...

I AIN'T GOT TIME TO TALK TO YOU NOW.

I GOT TO RUN THE BOYS THROUGH A CREEK A COUPLE OF TIMES

TO GET THEM READY TO COME A-COURTIN'.

EVERYBODY ON THE TRUCK.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

OH, ANDY, DO SOMETHING.

NOW, BRISCOE, I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE

AND I'M TELLING YOU AGAIN, MISS CRUMP IS MY GIRL

AND IF YOU DON'T STAY AWAY FROM HER

I'M GOING TO ARREST YOU!

NOW, YOU REMEMBER THAT!

AND WE MEAN IT!

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?

I DON'T...

MAYBE WHILE HE'S RUNNING THEM THROUGH THE CREEK

THEY'LL ALL DROWN.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY MORE OF MY MUFFINS.

IF WE COULD JUST REASON WITH THEM

BUT PEOPLE THAT LIVE BY OMENS AND WITCHCRAFT

AND STUFF LIKE THAT--

YOU JUST CAN'T GET THROUGH TO THEM.

Goober: ANDY!

WHAT?

ANDY! ANDY!

ANDY, THEY'RE BACK.

THEY'RE BACK.

WHERE?

OVER AT HELEN'S.

* THERE IS A TIME FOR US TO WANDER *

* WHEN TIME IS YOUNG AND SO ARE WE *

* THE WOODS ARE GREENER OVER YONDER *

* THE PATH IS NEW, THE WORLD IS, TOO *

WELL, HOWDY, THERE, SHERIFF.

BRISCOE!

DOIN' A LITTLE SERENADING, GIVE HER SOME IDEA

OF THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

THAT'S GOING TO FILL HER LIFE FROM NOW ON.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM HER.

DON'T GET RILED.

NOW, BRISCOE, I'M TRYING...

THAT'S THE SPIRIT.

YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME.

NOW, SHERIFF, I'M SORRY THAT MISS CRUMP

USED TO BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND,

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY

A REASONABLE MAN LIKE YOURSELF

CAN'T UNDERSTAND

THAT SEEIN' THAT OWL IN THE DAYTIME

SEALED HER FATE

AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAN UNSEAL IT

IS A COUNTER-OMEN

AND THAT WOULD BE SEEIN' ANOTHER OWL IN THE DAYTIME

WHICH AIN'T LIKELY.

WHY DON'T YOU GET ON THE TRUCK

AND GO UP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FIND ONE?

THAT DON'T COUNT.

UH, WHERE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO SEE MISS CRUMP.

GOING TO TELL HER GOODBYE?

HE'S GOING TO TELL MISS CRUMP GOODBYE, BOYS

SO PLAY A LITTLE SPRIGHTLY MUSIC

TO COVER UP THE SOBBIN'.

WELL, DO YOU HEAR WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?

YES.

AS LOUD AS THEY CAN GET?

NOW, LOOK... WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

WELL... DON'T JUST STAND THERE. SAY SOMETHING.

GIVE ME AN OPENING.

ALL RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT AN OPENING.

NOW, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU BEAT EVERYTHING.

YOU JUST BEAT EVERYTHING.

WELL, I THREATENED TO ARREST THEM.

I THREATENED TO THROW THEM IN JAIL

AND ALL HE KEEPS DOING IS TELLING ME HOW

I OUGHT TO BE REASONABLE, HOW THE OWL IS AN OMEN,

AND HOW A MARRIAGE BETWEEN YOU AND ONE OF HIS BOYS IS DESTINY

AND THE ONLY THING THAT WILL CANCEL IT IS A COUNTER-OMEN,

WHICH IS SEEING ANOTHER OWL IN THE DAYTIME, AND I...

W-WAIT.

WHAT?

WAIT RIGHT HERE. JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE.

BUT WHERE YOU GOING?

JUST WAIT RIGHT HERE. WAIT.

DID YOU SAY YOUR PARTINGS?

YEAH, I SAID MY PARTINGS.

SHERIFF, DID SHE HAPPEN TO MENTION

WHICH ONE OF THE BOYS SHE'S TAKEN A COTTON TO?

WELL, I'M NOT SURE, BUT I BELIEVE

SHE'S JUST CRAZY OVER RODNEY.

EASY, BOY.

AHEM, BRISCOE, I DON'T BELIEVE

THAT MISS CRUMP'S IN THE MOOD

FOR ANY MORE SERENADING TONIGHT.

OH, BLESS HER LITTLE HEART.

SHE'S GETTING TIRED, AIN'T SHE?

WELL, AFTER ALL, IT IS AFTER 8:00.

WELL, LISTEN,

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A MARRIAGE LICENSE, RIGHT?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST WAIT 'TIL IN THE MORNING, SEE?

AND MAYBE I CAN HELP YOU WITH IT.

WELL, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU, SHERIFF.

GOOD. NOW, YOU STOP BY MY HOUSE, SAY, AT 9:00.

9:00? 9:00. WE'LL BE THERE.

EVERYBODY, ON THE TRUCK.

NEARLY 9:00-- THEY OUGHT TO BE ALONG ANY MINUTE.

Goober: WELL, I HOPE SO.

ARE YOU ALL SET?

SET AS I'LL EVER BE.

NOW, REMEMBER WHAT I TOLD YOU.

YOU GOT TO STAY COVERED.

IT'S GOT TO BE DONE VERY GENTLY.

I GOT YOU.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THEM.

IT IS.

ALL RIGHT, GET COVERED WITH BRANCHES.

RIGHT THERE.

I, UH, JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

YOU'RE NOT BLOCKING THE DRIVEWAY.

HEY, CHARLENE.

SHERIFF, WHERE'S THIS LICENSE THING

YOU WAS TELLIN' US ABOUT?

IT'S IN TOWN.

IT'S IN TOWN, BUT LISTEN.

IT JUST HAPPENS THAT AUNT BEE

HAS BROUGHT SOME OF THOSE GOOD MUFFINS

YOU LIKE SO MUCH RIGHT OFF THE FIRE.

WANT SOME?

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

BOYS! BOYS!

NOW, YOU BE NICE.

OKAY, GOOBER.

B-BUT I HAD A HALF A MUFFIN LEFT.

WELL, YOU CAN EAT THE REST OF THEM

ON THE WAY UPTOWN.

OH, UH, MISS BEE, UH, I SURE WISH

YOU'D WRITE OUT THE RECEIPT FOR THEM MUFFINS.

I WILL. I WILL.

THEY DON'T TASTE LIKE OURS.

YOU SAY YOU DON'T PUT NO SOUR MASH IN 'EM?

NO. IT'S AN OLD FAMILY RECIPE.

WE'D BETTER GO TO THE COURTHOUSE

AND GET THE LICENSE.

SOME OTHER TIME.

HEY, LOOK.

PA, IT'S AN OWL.

THE SECOND OWL IN THE DAYTIME.

THAT'S A COUNTER-OMEN.

IT MEANS ONLY ONE THING--

THAT MISS CRUMP REALLY AIN'T

THE PERFECT MATE AFTER ALL.

LOOKY THERE.

I NEVER SEEN AN OWL FLY THAT WAY.

WENT STRAIGHT UP, WITHOUT SO MUCH

AS A FLUTTERING OF A WING.

IT'S GONE.

B-BUT IT WAS AN OWL.

OH, DEFINITELY AN OWL.

OH, YEAH, IT WAS AN OWL.

I AIN'T TOO SURE.

NOW, THERE'S A LOT OF STRANGE BIRDS

FLYING DOWN FROM THE NORTH LATELY--

BRANDS I AIN'T NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, BOYS?

WELL, I GOT TO AGREE WITH YOU.

BEFORE WE CALL OFF THIS HERE MARRYING

I'D LIKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT THERE OWL.

Charlene: THERE'S NOT MUCH CHANCE

THAT OWL'S GOING TO FLY BACK HERE.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

HE MIGHT FLY BACK AGAIN.

Briscoe: HE'S THERE AGAIN.

LOOK AT THE WAY HE'S A-FLYING.

HE'S UPSIDE DOWN.

HE'S GOT TO BE FROM OUT OF STATE.

THERE'S NO QUESTION, BRISCOE.

NO OTHER BIRD LOOKS QUITE LIKE AN OWL.

Aunt Bee: NO OTHER BIRD LOOKS LIKE AN OWL.

THERE HE GOES.

HE'S GONE.

UH, SHERIFF, I GUESS IT'S AN OWL'S OWN BUSINESS

THE WAY HE FLIES.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS WE SAW THE COUNTER-OMEN.

MISS CRUMP'S GOING TO BE

AWFUL BROKE UP ABOUT THIS.

I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, SHERIFF,

BUT WE JUST CAN'T TAKE NO CHANCES.

NOW, YOU TELL THAT MISS CRUMP LADY

THAT RODNEY WILL ALWAYS HOLD

A SOFT SPOT IN HIS HEART FOR HER.

COME ON, BOYS.

YEAH, WELL.

BYE.

HEY.

WHAT YOU DOING UP THERE, BIG EARS?

I JUST LIKE TO CLIMB TREES.

WELL, THERE'S A CRAZY OWL FLYING AROUND SOMEWHERE

SO WATCH OUT.

TELL MISS CRUMP THAT I'M SORRY

SHE LOST OUT ON THE BOYS.

MAKE UP SOME KIND OF A STORY.

LET HER DOWN EASY, YOU KNOW.

SEE YA.

RIGHT. BYE.

BYE, SHERIFF.

BYE, MISS BEE.

OH, MY! WHAT A COMMOTION.

YEAH. WELL, I'LL TELL YOU

ONE THING, GOOB-- YOU REALLY SAVED THE DAY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, ANDY.

IT WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA.

WELL.

WELL, THEY SURE ARE FUNNY FOLKS.

NO, THEY'RE JUST SUPERSTITIOUS, THEY STILL

LIVE BY THE SAME FOLKLORE THAT THEY LEARNED

FROM THEIR PARENTS AND THEIR GRANDPARENTS.

I KNOW, BUT YOU'D THINK, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,

THEY'D KNOW THOSE THINGS AREN'T TRUE.

WELL, YEAH.

WELL, I'LL TAKE THIS BACK

OVER TO THE LODGE AND PUT IT ON THE MANTLE.

OKAY. THANKS, GOOB.

I GUESS US CITY FOLKS HAVE JUST GOT

MORE INTELLIGENCE -- I'LL SEE Y'ALL.

OKAY, GOOB.

BYE, GOOBER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GOOBER?

WELL, "STEP ON A CRACK, BREAK YOUR MOTHER'S BACK."

DON'T TELL ME YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT, ANDY.

HMM
