Andy: AUNT BEE!

IN THE KITCHEN.

WELL...

LUNCH IS ALL READY.

OH, GOOD.

DR. BENNETT GET OFF ALL RIGHT?

OH, IN FINE STYLE.

MUST'VE BEEN 30, 40 PEOPLE THERE.

OH, MAYBERRY'S GOING TO MISS DR. BENNETT.

40 YEARS.

I'LL BET HE'S DELIVERED

HALF THE PEOPLE IN MAYBERRY.

MM-HMM.

DID HE DELIVER ME, PAW?

YEAH. GAVE YOU YOUR FIRST SLAP.

WHAT'D I DO WRONG?

NOTHING.

THAT'S WHAT A DOCTOR DOES WHEN A BABY...

YOU KNOW, BREATHE.

OH. OH.

OH, HE WAS SUCH A KINDLY GENTLEMAN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LIKED ABOUT HIM BEST

IS THAT HE WASN'T ALWAYS CALLING IN SPECIALISTS

AND RUNNING UP BILLS.

IF HE WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU

HE DID THE BEST HE COULD.

YEAH. DOWN AT THE STATION

HE WAS STILL GIVING ADVICE TO EVERYBODY.

CLARA EDWARDS.

OH, CLARA, WITH HER NEURALGIA.

20 YEARS NOW.

WELL... WELL, SHE KIND OF ENJOYS IT.

TOLD US TO WATCH OPIE'S TONSILS

IN CASE THEY FLARE UP AGAIN.

MY THROAT'S BEEN FEELING FINE, PAW.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

DID HE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEW DOCTOR?

NO. HIS NAME IS DR. PETERSON.

HE WAS HOPING HE'D ARRIVE TODAY

SO HE COULD INTRODUCE HIM AROUND.

BUT HE'LL BE DELAYED AND WON'T BE HERE TILL TOMORROW.

WELL, I HOPE HE'S THE CALIBER OF DR. BENNETT.

DID HE MEET HIM AT ALL?

DR. BENNETT? NO, NO.

NO, BUT HE COMES VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

WELL, I HOPE SO.

IT'S A STRANGE FEELING

PUTTING THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF EVERYBODY

INTO THE HANDS OF A PERFECT STRANGER.

OH, I'M SURE WE'LL ALL BE FINE.

GOOD MORNING, FLOYD.

OH, HELLO, CLARA.

SIT DOWN HERE, CLARA.

REST YOURSELF.

THANK YOU.

YEAH. NICE DAY.

YES.

THE HUMIDITY'S A LITTLE HIGH, THOUGH, ISN'T IT?

OH. YOUR NEURALGIA, HUH?

YES.

THAT STUFF REALLY HANGS ON.

25 YEARS NOW, ISN'T IT?

YES.

I SUPPOSE EVERYBODY HAS SOMETHING TO BEAR.

OF COURSE I TRY TO KEEP IT TO MYSELF

BUT SOMETIMES THE PAIN IS, WELL, IT'S JUST INDESCRIBABLE.

JUST LIKE MY SINUS TROUBLE.

THE OTHER NIGHT I WOKE UP...

IT STARTS AT MY SHOULDER...

MUST'VE BEEN ABOUT 3:30.

AND THEN IT WORKS DOWN TO MY ELBOW...

OH, MY SINUSES MUST'VE BEEN...

FLOYD, YOU ASKED ABOUT MY NEURALGIA.

NOW, DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT, OR DON'T YOU?

I NEVER ASKED.

WELL, YOU CAN JUST BE THANKFUL

YOU DON'T SUFFER THE WAY I...

PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE BARBER SUPPLY SALESMEN FROM RALEIGH.

OH.

HEH. THE LOAFERS.

THEY WORK HALF THE TIME AND PLAY GOLF THE REST.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

SAY, I WONDER IF YOU CAN TELL ME

WHERE I MIGHT FIND DR. BENNETT'S PLACE.

DR. BENNETT?

HE LEFT TOWN YESTERDAY.

IF YOU GOT ANYTHING WRONG WITH YOU

YOU BETTER DRIVE ON TO MT. PILOT.

WE'RE EXPECTING A NEW DOCTOR

BUT HE HASN'T ARRIVED YET.

HE JUST DROVE IN.

WHAT? WHAT?

I'M TAKING OVER DR. BENNETT'S PRACTICE.

YOU?

YOU'RE THE NEW DOCTOR?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M DR. PETERSON.

YOU MEAN YOU'VE BEEN TO MEDICAL SCHOOL ALREADY?

YES, I HAVE.

EVEN HAVE A DIPLOMA.

AND YOU'RE TAKING OVER THE WHOLE SHEBANG?

YES.

THE WHOLE SHEBANG.

OH.

DR. BENNETT'S PLACE IS TWO BLOCKS DOWN

TURN RIGHT, THE THIRD HOUSE ON THE LEFT.

OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

NICE TO HAVE MET YOU.

MAYBERRY IS FACING A CRISIS.

WELL, HI.

ANDY, WE'VE JUST MET THE NEW DOCTOR.

YEAH?

HE'S JUST A CHILD.

DON'T THINK HE'S MORE THAN 17.

SEVENTEEN?

OH, HE'S MORE THAN 17, BUT HE'S STILL VERY YOUNG.

MAYBE 25 OR SO.

WELL, THERE ARE A LOT OF YOUNG DOCTORS AROUND.

BUT IF YOU'D ONLY SEEN HIM IN THAT CAR

WITH HIS GOLF CLUBS.

AND THAT CAP.

AND HE TALKS FUNNY, TOO.

THAT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO

WITH WHETHER HE'S A GOOD DOCTOR OR NOT.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE?

WELL, YOU CAN GIVE HIM A CHANCE IF YOU WANT TO

BUT IF I WERE YOU, I'D STAY WELL.

WELL, 25 IS RATHER YOUNG, FOR A DOCTOR.

A DENTIST? NO. BUT A DOCTOR?

OH, DON'T LET FLOYD AND CLARA GET TO YOU, TOO.

WELL, THERE IS SUCH A THING

AS EXPERIENCE, ANDY.

HOW MANY DISEASES COULD HE HAVE SEEN, AT THAT AGE?

OH, AUNT BEE.

WELL, I'M JUST COMMENTING.

YOU KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE A GOOD THOUGHT?

WHAT?

INVITE HIM OVER HERE ONE NIGHT FOR SUPPER.

MAYBE HAVE FLOYD AND CLARA COME, TOO.

IF THEY GOT TO KNOW HIM A LITTLE BETTER,

THEY'D HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN HIM.

YES, THAT WOULD BE A NICE GESTURE.

YEAH. JUST HAVE FLOYD AND CLARA, MAYBE HELEN, YEAH.

I'LL STOP BY SOMETIME TOMORROW AND INVITE HIM.

JUST A FRIENDLY VISIT.

YES, AND WHILE YOU'RE THERE,

YOU MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT HIS DIPLOMA.

GOOD MORNING, SIR. NICE DAY, ISN'T IT?

OH.

HELLO. HOW DO YOU DO?

COME IN. COME IN.

UH... I... I HOPE

I'M NOT INTERRUPTING SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

OH, NO, NO. NO.

COME IN. COME IN.

NO. WELL...

I WAS JUST, UH, CHECKING OUT SOME EQUIPMENT.

OH. OH.

YOU KNOW

MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS WORKING ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, WELL, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YEAH.

YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.

NO, YOU CAN'T BE TOO CAREFUL.

NOT IN THIS BUSINESS.

NOT IN THIS BUSINESS.

NO. NO.

OH, I'M ANDY TAYLOR.

I'M THE SHERIFF HERE.

AND I JUST THOUGHT I'D STOP BY

AND WELCOME YOU TO MAYBERRY.

OH.

OH, WELL, THAT'S VERY KIND OF YOU, SHERIFF.

WELL... WELL...

I SEE YOU'RE GETTING ALL SET UP

AND READY FOR YOUR PATIENTS.

OH, YEAH. YEAH, I AM.

WELL, I'M READY WHENEVER THEY ARE.

YEAH.

ACTUALLY, THE REASON I STOPPED BY

WAS TO INVITE YOU TO A LITTLE GET-TOGETHER

WE'RE HAVING AT MY HOUSE TONIGHT.

OH. TONIGHT?

YEAH. I MEAN, IF YOU CAN MAKE IT.

I KNOW HOW IT IS WITH DOCTORS.

OH, I'M SURE I CAN BREAK AWAY THIS EVENING.

WELL, GOOD, GOOD.

WE USUALLY EAT ABOUT 7:00.

OH, FINE.

AND YOU CAN'T MISS MY HOUSE.

IT'S RIGHT OFF MAIN STREET, 14 MAPLE.

OH. WELL, I'LL BE THERE. AND THANKS.

GOOD. COME A LITTLE EARLY AND WE'LL VISIT.

OH, GOOD, GOOD.

BYE.

NOW, ANY MORE SOUP, ANYBODY?

DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP.

DR. PETERSON, HOW ABOUT YOU?

OH, NO. NO, THANK YOU.

THAT REALLY WAS DELICIOUS.

YEAH.

GOOD OL' HOMEMADE SOUP.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, DOCTOR

IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND NOWADAYS

THEY'RE COMING UP WITH SOMETHING NEW IN MEDICINE.

SEEMS... SEEMS THAT WAY TO ME ANYWAY.

OH, THAT'S TRUE, ANDY.

OH, WE'VE STILL GOT A LOT TO LEARN.

WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE A DOCTOR

WHO'S RIGHT UP-TO-DATE ON ALL THAT IS KNOWN.

YES, WE ARE.

RIGHT, CLARA?

OH... YES.

GEE, YOU SURE LOOK YOUNG TO BE A DOCTOR.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO BE OLDER.

WELL, MAYBE THE DOCTOR GRADUATED YOUNG, RIGHT?

WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DID.

YOU KNOW, WHENEVER ANYBODY ASKS ME

IF I'M OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE A DOCTOR'S LICENSE

I ALWAYS SAY, "NO, THEY ONLY GAVE ME A LEARNER'S PERMIT."

Andy: OH, THAT'S FUNNY.

LEARNER'S PERMIT. A LEARNER'S PERMIT.

NOW WE KNOW HE HAS A GOOD BEDSIDE MANNER.

YEAH. I LIKE A MAN WITH A GOOD JOKE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, I TRY.

I SUPPOSE A SENSE OF HUMOR HAS ITS PLACE IN MEDICINE.

PERSONALLY, I NEVER FOUND SICKNESS

TO BE A FUNNY SUBJECT.

HEY, I SMELL SOMETHING GOOD.

I BET IT'S YOUR TURKEY.

OH, IT SHOULD BE DONE BY NOW.

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.

YOU'RE NOT MARRIED, ARE YOU, DOCTOR?

NO, NO. NO.

I'M SORT OF A CONFIRMED BACHELOR, I GUESS.

PLAY THE FIELD.

GO OUT A LOT?

MOSTLY SATURDAY NIGHT.

WELL, OCCASIONALLY DURING THE WEEK.

UNLESS, OF COURSE, THERE'S AN EPIDEMIC.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

AND I REMEMBER ONE SATURDAY NIGHT

WHEN I CAME DOWN WITH THE CROUP.

I RANG UP DOC BENNETT.

OF COURSE HE WAS HOME, LIKE ALWAYS.

AND HE CAME RIGHT OVER.

SAVED MY LIFE.

WELL, I'M SURE WHEREVER THE DOCTOR IS

HE'LL CALL THE SWITCHBOARD

AND SARAH WILL KNOW WHERE TO FIND HIM.

HERE WE ARE!

All: OH!

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT?

IS THAT NOT BEAUTIFUL?

PUT IT RIGHT IN HERE.

THERE WE ARE.

CALL OUT YOUR PREFERENCE.

WHITE MEAT OR DARK?

OH! THE SWEET POTATOES.

THEY'RE IN THE OVEN, ANDY.

YOU STAY. I'LL GET THEM.

WELL...

BOY, AM I HUNGRY.

WELL, THEN, WHY DON'T WE START?

WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO DO THE CARVING?

DR. PETERSON, WOULD YOU CARE TO DO THE HONORS?

OH, WELL, THANK YOU.

YES, I'D BE HAPPY TO.

WELL, IF ANYONE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CARVING

IT SHOULD BE A DOCTOR.

LIVELY LITTLE RASCAL, ISN'T IT?

IT'S BEEN VERY NICE.

THANKS A LOT, ANDY.

GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.

GOOD NIGHT, DR. PETERSON. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

NOW, TAKE IT EASY GOING HOME.

THANKS.

WELL, THAT WAS VERY NICE.

WELL, BEE, WAS I WRONG ABOUT HIM?

WELL, HE WAS PLEASANT.

Clara: BUT DID YOU SEE HIM TRY TO CARVE THAT TURKEY?

A MAN ON AN OPERATING TABLE

WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A CHANCE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND MY SAYING SO

YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

ASHAMED?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

A YOUNG DOCTOR TRYING TO DO HIS JOB

AND NOBODY WILL GIVE HIM A CHANCE.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

IT ISN'T FAIR.

IT'D JUST SERVE EVERYBODY RIGHT

IF HE PACKED UP AND LEFT TOWN.

PAW?

WHAT'S THE MATTER, OPE?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF BED?

IT'S MY THROAT, PAW.

IT FEELS KIND OF SCRATCHY, FUNNY-LIKE.

ANDY, DO YOU THINK IT'S HIS TONSILS AGAIN?

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

THEY DO FEEL SWOLLEN.

IT HURTS, TOO, PAW, WHEN I SWALLOW.

OH, ANDY

MAYBE YOU BETTER TRY TO CATCH DR. PETERSON.

CATCH DR. PETERSON?

UM...

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, OPE.

LET'S GO UP AND HAVE A NICE GARGLE

AND THEN WE'LL SEE HOW THEY FEEL IN THE MORNING.

NO BETTER, HUH?

WELL, IT'S ABOUT THE SAME, I THINK.

IT DOESN'T HURT TOO MUCH, BUT I CAN FEEL IT.

HMM.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, ANDY?

WELL, UH, UH...

NOT A BIT BETTER?

NO.

HMM.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK, ANDY?

WELL, THERE'S NOTHIN' TO DO

BUT LET DR. PETERSON TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

YES, I S'POSE THAT'S BEST.

WELL, MAYBE HE'S GONNA HAVE HIS FIRST PATIENT.

WELL...

AH... AH...

AH...

AH...

AH.

WELL, LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME OUT.

OH. THAT BAD, HUH?

WELL, THERE'S NO EMERGENCY, ANDY

BUT THEY'RE INFLAMED AND THEY OUGHT TO COME OUT.

MY THROAT'S BEGINNIN' TO FEEL BETTER.

OPIE, IT'S GONNA FEEL MUCH BETTER AFTER THE OPERATION

AND I PROMISE YOU WON'T FEEL A THING.

REALLY?

WELL, IT'LL BE A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE

FOR A WHILE AFTER IT'S OVER.

BUT YOUR FATHER AND I THINK IT'S THE WISE THING

AND, WELL, IN THE LONG RUN

IT'LL BE BEST FOR YOUR ALL-AROUND HEALTH.

WELL...

OKAY.

NOW THAT'S THE WAY TO TALK.

THAT'S A BOY.

AND THERE'S NOTHING TO TAKIN' OUT TONSILS.

WHY, I BET THE DOCTOR HERE HAS TAKEN OUT HUNDREDS OF THEM.

WELL...

I TOOK OUT A NUMBER OF THEM DURING MY INTERNSHIP.

A NUMBER OF THEM?

SHERIFF, IT'S ONE OF THE SIMPLEST OPERATIONS THERE IS.

YOU HEAR THAT?

IT'S A SIMPLE OPERATION.

AND DR. PETERSON KNOWS

WHAT HE'S DOING.

IF HE DIDN'T, THEY WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN HIM THIS DIPLOMA HERE.

I BET YOU'VE HAD A LOT OF FINE TEACHERS, TOO.

I MEAN, SURGEONS AND EVERYTHING.

SOME OF THE FINEST.

SEE? AND I BET HE MADE REAL GOOD GRADES, TOO.

RIGHT UP THERE AT THE TOP OF HIS CLASS.

SHERIFF, IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE ANOTHER MEDICAL OPINION

WHY, BY ALL MEANS, FEEL FREE.

OH, NO! OH, NO, NO, NO.

NO, YOU'RE THE DOCTOR.

WHATEVER YOU SAY.

WELL, ALL RIGHT THEN.

WHEN WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING OPIE IN?

WHEN?

WELL, HOW ABOUT THIS WEEKEND?

WELL, FRIDAY WOULD BE GOOD.

FRIDAY WOULD BE GOOD.

UH... OH, OH, OH, I'D BETTER CHECK WITH AUNT BEE

BECAUSE SHE MIGHT'VE MADE SOME PLANS.

WHAT PLANS, PAW?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT YOU KNOW YOUR AUNT BEE.

YOU NEVER CAN TELL.

SO, I'LL-I'LL JUST CHECK WITH HER

AND SEE IF SHE HAS MADE ANY PLANS, AND THEN I'LL CALL YOU.

FINE. YEAH, I'LL CALL.

FINE.

WELL, I'LL BE WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

HEY, FLOYD. FLOYD, GUESS WHAT?

I'M GONNA HAVE MY TONSILS OUT.

WELL, WELL.

YOU DON'T SAY?

I'M GONNA GO HOME AND TELL AUNT BEE, PAW.

OKAY.

SO, OPIE'S HAVING

HIS TONSILS OUT, HUH?

YEAH.

AND YOU'RE LETTING THIS PETERSON KID DO THE JOB, HUH?

YEAH.

AND I SURE HOPE HE APPRECIATES WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

IT'S NOT EVERY FATHER

WHO WILL HAND OVER HIS OWN SON FOR A TEST CASE.

OH, HI.

I JUST DROPPED BY TO SEE HOW OPIE WAS.

HE JUST CAME IN AND TOLD US THE NEWS.

WHEN'S IT GONNA BE DONE, ANDY?

UH, I THINK THE DOCTOR SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WEEKEND.

THIS WEEKEND?

UH-HUH. BUT IF YOU'VE MADE OTHER PLANS

WE CAN PUT IT OFF FOR A WEEK OR TWO

BECAUSE HE SAID THERE'S NO EMERGENCY.

WELL, NO, I...

I'VE MADE NO SPECIAL PLANS.

WELL, I THINK THIS WEEKEND WOULD BE JUST RIGHT.

HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO MISS ANY SCHOOL

AND IF HE WAS OUT A DAY OR SO

I COULD DROP HIS LESSONS BY HERE.

OH, THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU, HELEN

BUT IF AUNT BEE WOULD RATHER WAIT...

WELL, NO, IF IT HAS TO BE DONE,

I GUESS IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO GET IT OVER WITH.

OH. YES.

UH, BUT I WAS... I WAS KIND OF THINKING...

MAYBE... MAYBE IT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER

IF I WERE TO DRIVE HIM UP TO MT. PILOT

AND HAVE ANOTHER DOCTOR TAKE A LOOK AT HIM.

ANOTHER DOCTOR?

YES, ANOTHER DOCTOR.

YOU KNOW, MT. PILOT'S A BIG TOWN

AND I COULD JUST TAKE HIM UP THERE

AND THERE'S A LOT OF FINE DOCTORS.

I THINK IT MIGHT EASE YOUR MIND.

MM-HMM. TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE.

YES, THEY ARE

AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO WORRY.

ANDY, I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.

WHAT?

I'M ASHAMED OF YOU.

WELL, I DON'T WANT HER TO WORRY.

YOU DON'T WANT HER TO WORRY?

WELL, I'M DOING IT FOR HER.

YOU'RE DOING IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRUST DR. PETERSON.

IT'S NOT A MATTER OF NOT TRUSTING HIM...

IT IS SO.

WELL... WELL, HE'S SO YOUNG

AND HE'S SO INEXPERIENCED

AND THERE'S DOCTORS IN MT. PILOT

COULD DO THIS OPERATION IN THEIR SLEEP.

ANDY, I'M SURPRISED AT YOU.

YOU'RE TALKING LIKE THE REST OF THIS TOWN.

OH, NO.

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL HE'S QUALIFIED.

YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.

AND IF HE WASN'T THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM PRACTICE.

ANDY, IF YOU TAKE OPIE TO MT. PILOT

DR. PETERSON MAY AS WELL JUST PACK UP AND LEAVE TOWN.

I MEAN IT.

IF YOU DON'T GO TO HIM

THERE'S NOBODY ELSE IN THIS TOWN

THAT'S GOING TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO PROVE HIMSELF.

I THINK IT'S PRETTY MUCH UP TO YOU

WHETHER THIS TOWN HAS A DOCTOR OR NOT.

WELL...

WELL...

HERE WE ARE.

PAW, DO YOU THINK AUNT BEE REALLY HAD A HEADACHE

OR DO YOU THINK SHE'S JUST TOO NERVOUS TO COME WITH US?

OH, SHE HAD A HEADACHE

'CAUSE THERE'S CERTAINLY NOTHING

TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT HERE.

OF COURSE THERE ISN'T.

OH, HELLO. YOU MUST BE OPIE.

UH-HUH.

THAT'S RIGHT.

UH, THAT'S OPIE

AND I'M-I'M HIS FATHER, ANDY TAYLOR.

AND, OH, THIS IS MISS CRUMP.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

I'M MISS OAKLEY.

I'LL BE ASSISTING DR. PETERSON.

OH, GOOD.

WON'T YOU COME IN?

DOCTOR?

AH, COME IN. COME IN.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, OPIE?

HEY, HOW'S MY FAVORITE PATIENT?

FINE.

WELL, THIS WON'T TAKE VERY LONG.

YOU CAN WAIT OUT HERE IF YOU WANT TO.

MAYBE WE WILL.

NOW, I'LL WANT OPIE TO REST HERE FOR THE BALANCE OF THE DAY

BUT HE CAN BE BACK IN HIS OWN BED BY TONIGHT.

OH, THAT'S FINE.

OH, HERE'S HIS BAG.

THANK YOU.

WELL, SHALL WE GO IN NOW, OPIE?

OKAY.

WE'LL BE RIGHT OUT HERE.

OKAY, PAW.

WELL, COME ON, SIT DOWN, ANDY.

ONE CONSOLATION WITH A NEW DOCTOR--

AT LEAST HE PROBABLY HAS SOME NEW MAGAZINES.

YEAH.

ANDY, RELAX.

HERE, OPIE!

SOME MORE ICE CREAM.

AND IT DIDN'T HURT AT ALL, HUH?

NEVER FELT A THING.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

AND THE DOC DIDN'T HAVE ANY HELP OR ANYTHING?

NO, JUST A NURSE TO HAND THE INSTRUMENTS TO HIM.

WELL, WELL.

OH, YOU LOOK SIMPLY WONDERFUL, OPIE.

OH, HE'S COMING ALONG JUST FINE.

I FEEL GREAT.

BUT, STILL, IT MUST'VE BEEN QUITE AN ORDEAL

FOR YOU TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH.

OH, IT WAS NO ORDEAL.

I SAW HE WAS IN GOOD HANDS

SO I DIDN'T THINK ANY MORE ABOUT IT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK I JUST MIGHT HAVE HIM TAKE A LOOK

AT MY NEURALGIA.

MAYBE I'LL HAVE HIM TAKE A LOOK AT MY SINUSES.

OH, THIS ALL PROVES ONE THING:

YOU CANNOT JUDGE A DOCTOR BY THE WAY HE CARVES A TURKEY.
