THERE WE ARE.

OH, ANDY, I CAN DO THIS.

NO, NO, I'LL DO THIS.

YOU'RE TOO NERVOUS.

ARE YOU SURE YOU WON'T BE TOO LONELY?

NO, I'M GOING TO BE FINE.

IF ONLY OPIE WAS GOING TO BE HERE.

OH, HE'S BEEN LOOKIN' FORWARD

TO THE CAMPIN' TRIP FOR WEEKS NOW.

I KNOW.

AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS FOR YOU

TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AT YOUR SISTER'S.

YOU NEED A LITTLE VACATION.

WELL, I'LL BE BACK THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, YOU KNOW.

STAY LONGER IF YOU LIKE.

I DON'T THINK I COULD TAKE IT.

WITH THE THINGS ELLEN HAS PLANNED FOR ME,

IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE CONTINUING ROUND OF ACTIVITIES.

SHE'S HAVING SOME FRIENDS IN FOR LUNCHEON WHEN I ARRIVE.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT

FOR A HANDICRAFT EXHIBIT AT THE OLD PEOPLE'S HOME.

WELL!

AND THEN, IN THE EVENING,

WE'RE GOING TO SHABAB'S.

THAT'S AN ARMENIAN RESTAURANT THEY HAVE IN TOWN.

THEY WRAP EVERYTHING IN GRAPE LEAVES.

MMM!

THAT SHOULD BE

AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE, HMM?

I JUST HOPE YOU WON'T BE OVERDOING IT.

OH, NO, NO, ELLEN'S THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING.

SHE WROTE ME THERE'S BE AN HOUR OR TWO TO LIE DOWN

BETWEEN THE OLD PEOPLE'S HOME AND SHABAB.

OH, GOOD.

I'VE GOT MY STUFF ALL READY.

WE'RE LEAVING SOON AS YOU FINISH BREAKFAST.

YOU'RE ALL SET, HUH? YEAH.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

DID YOU PACK THOSE FIVE PAIRS OF SOCKS I LAID OUT?

YES, AUNT BEE. FIVE PAIRS OF SOCKS?

HE'S JUST GOING TO BE GONE OVERNIGHT.

WELL, SUPPOSING THE GROUND IS SOGGY.

DO YOU WANT YOUR SON WALKING AROUND IN WET SOCKS?

YOU CAN'T EXPECT THE TROOP TO STOP

EVERY TWO HOURS FOR HIM TO CHANGE STOCKINGS.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SCOUTMASTER,

AND HE'S AGREED TO A TEMPORARY BIVOUAC WHEN NECESSARY.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

I'M ALL READY.

YOU BARELY TOUCHED YOUR BREAKFAST.

I DON'T THINK I OUGHTA EAT TOO MUCH WITH A LONG HIKE AHEAD.

EAT.

YOU NEED IT MOST WHEN YOU'RE BURNING UP VITAMINS.

BUT I'M NOT VERY HUNGRY.

THE ONLY EXCUSE FOR NOT EATING AT MEALTIMES

IS WHEN YOU'RE SICK.

WELL, I'M NOT SICK, BUT, GEE, PA...

WE DON'T WASTE FOOD.

WHEN SOMETHING'S SERVED TO YOU, YOU EAT IT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD

WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO SIT DOWN TO A MEAL LIKE THAT.

SO YOU GO AHEAD.

OH, MY. OH, MY.

WELL, YOU GO AHEAD, AUNT BEE.

YEAH, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KITCHEN?

NO, YOU GET YOUR THINGS TOGETHER,

AND WHENEVER YOU'RE GONE, I'LL FIX THE KITCHEN.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

HOW AM I DOING, PA?

FAIR. EAT.

YOU SURE YOU'RE GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT, ANDY?

OH, I'M GOING TO BE FINE.

DON'T TAKE ANY OFFENSE TO THIS,

BUT ACTUALLY, I'M KIND OF LOOKING FORWARD

TO BEING AROUND THE HOUSE BY MYSELF.

IT'LL BE DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW?

I'M ALL FINISHED AND READY TO GO.

OKAY. WELL, LET'S GO, THEN.

GET YOUR BAG, OPIE.

KNAPSACK, AUNT BEE.

ALL RIGHT, KNAPSACK, KNAPSACK.

I HAVE A FEELING I'M LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND.

YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ANYTHING.

YOU GOT EVERYTHING.

IF I DO, I'LL GIVE YOU A RING.

I'LL BE RIGHT HERE.

IF IT'LL SAVE YOU ANY TIME,

I CAN DROP OPIE OFF AT THE SCOUTMASTER'S.

NO, NO, NO, IT'S RIGHT ON MY WAY.

I CAN DO THAT. RIGHT ON YOUR WAY.

WELL, NOW, BE CAREFUL, TAKE YOUR TIME,

AND HAVE A GOOD TIME, BOTH OF YOU.

WE WILL. YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.

ANDY, YOU WILL CLEAN UP THE KITCHEN, WON'T YOU?

OH, I'LL CLEAN THAT KITCHEN

JUST AS SOON AS I GET IN THE HOUSE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

HERE WE GO.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS JUST HAVE A GOOD TIME.

YOUR OIL'S ALMOST TO THE TOP, AUNT BEE.

IT AIN'T PLUMB TO THE TOP,

MIND YOU -- ONLY ABOUT THAT FAR FROM IT.

BUT JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE,

I'D CHECK IT AGAIN BEFORE I STARTED BACK FROM RALEIGH.

I WILL, GOOBER. THAT WAS $4.87.

IT WAS ALMOST $4.88, BUT SINCE IT DIDN'T QUITE MAKE IT

I AIN'T CHARGING YOU THE EXTRA PENNY.

WELL, THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU, GOOBER.

HOW LONG YOU PLANNING TO BE VISITING YOUR SISTER?

TWO DAYS. AND, GOOBER, WOULD YOU MIND STOPPING IN

AND LOOKING AT ANDY FROM TIME TO TIME

TO SEE THAT HE DOESN'T GET TOO LONESOME, HMM?

I WAS PLANNING TO.

I KNOW HOW LONESOME A BODY CAN BE WHEN HIS LOVED ONES

AIN'T AROUND LIKE HE'S ACCUSTOMED TO.

OH, DO YOU THINK HE'LL BE THAT LONESOME?

DON'T WORRY YOUR HEAD NONE.

ANDY AIN'T GOING TO GET LONESOME--

NOT WITH GOOD OLD GOOBER AROUND.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GOOBER.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

SEE YOU WHEN I GET BACK.

OKAY.

OFF WE GO.

BYE, AUNT BEE.

BYE.

HI, ANDY.

WELL, HI, HOWARD.

HOW'S IT COMING?

OH, FINE, FINE.

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

HEY, I SEE YOU'VE BEEN DOING A LITTLE SHOPPING.

OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

WILD MUSHROOMS, CANNED OYSTERS IN CHILI SAUCE,

PICKLED AVOCADOS,

CHOCOLATE SYRUP, SHRIMP ENCHILADAS.

THAT'S A RATHER UNUSUAL ASSORTMENT, ISN'T IT?

DOES HAVE KIND OF A BOUNCE TO IT, DOESN'T IT?

YOU, UH, YOU GOING IN, ARE YOU?

OH, YEAH. MOTHER WANTS OATMEAL

AND TWO QUARTS OF WHOLE MILK,

A DOZEN BROWN EGGS, A CONTAINER OF YOGURT,

AND THREE DOZEN ORANGES.

YEAH.

MOTHER LIKES ME TO GET

PLENTY OF VITAMIN C DURING FLU SEASON.

THAT'S VERY, VERY GOOD THINKING.

WELL...

ANDY, UH, MAY I... MAY I ASK YOU

A RATHER PERSONAL QUESTION?

SHOOT.

DO YOU USUALLY EAT THINGS

LIKE OYSTERS IN CHOCOLATE SYRUP AND SHRIMP AND...?

NO, NO, NO. SEE, UH...

AUNT BEE IS OUT OF TOWN.

SHE'S VISITING HER SISTER IN RALEIGH.

OPIE'S ON A CAMPING TRIP, AND SO I'M BACHING IT.

YOU MEAN ALL ALONE?

ALL ALONE.

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, TOO.

I CAN EAT ANYTHING I WANT TO EAT,

DO ANYTHING I WANT TO DO.

IF I FEEL LIKE WALKING RIGHT IN THE LIVING ROOM,

TAKING MY SHOES OFF,

WALKING AROUND IN MY STOCKING FEET, WELL...

YOU MEAN YOU'D ACTUALLY LEAVE YOUR SHOES

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR?

IF I WANTED TO.

GOSH.

WELL, I'D BETTER BE GOING BEFORE MOTHER THINKS

I'VE HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THE EGGS.

YEAH, YEAH.

STAY RIGHT WITH IT, HOWARD.

SEE YOU, ANDY.

HUH.

YEAH, LET'S SEE.

NO...

YEAH.

HEY, ANDY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

OH, UH, NOTHING.

REHEARSING FOR ANOTHER SHOW AT THE LODGE?

OH, OH, YEAH. YEAH.

WHAT'S THE SUITCASE?

YOU GOING SOMEWHERE?

YEP.

WHERE?

I'M THERE ALREADY.

YOU'RE THERE ALREADY?

YOU MEAN HERE?

YEAH. WHEN AUNT BEE STOPPED BY,

SHE TOLD ME ABOUT YOU BEING ALONE,

AND I PROMISED I WOULDN'T LET YOU GET LONESOME.

THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU, GOOBER, BUT I'M NOT LONESOME.

OF COURSE, YOU AIN'T -- 'CAUSE I'M HERE.

WHA...? NO, NO. NO, GOOB.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND; I'M REAL NOT LONESOME.

JUST RELAX, ANDY; I'M HAPPY TO DO IT.

LISTEN, I AM RELAXED.

I'M JUST AS RELAXED AS I CAN BE AND...

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

GUESS WHAT I'M COOKING FOR OUR SUPPER?

NOW, GOOBER. NO...

SPAGHETTI. WITH MY VERY OWN

SECRET SPAGHETTI SAUCE.

GOOB. GOOB, LISTEN.

LISTEN...THIS IS VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU,

AND I'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU MOVE IN WITH ME

AND COOK FOR ME AND EVERYTHING,

BUT I CAN'T LET YOU PUT YOURSELF OUT THIS WAY.

SAVE YOUR BREATH.

I AIN'T TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER.

I'LL SEE YOU.

WHERE YOU GOING?

TO THE OFFICE, TO THE OFFICE.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING THERE FOR?

JUST PAPERWORK, GOOB, JUST SOME PAPERWORK.

HEY, ANDY, WHILE YOU'RE DOING YOUR PAPERWORK

GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO BE DOING?

I DON'T KNOW, GOOB.

MAKING THE SPAGHETTI SAUCE.

FINE, GOOB.

FINE.

BE OUT IN A SECOND.

PA!

HEY, PA?

IN HERE, OPE!

OH, HI, GOOBER. HEY, OPE.

WHATCHA DOIN' HERE?

KEEPIN' YOUR PA COMPANY. HE'S DOWN AT THE OFFICE.

I THOUGHT YOU WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON A CAMPIN' TRIP.

I FORGOT MY SCOUT AXE.

I'LL BE RIGHT OUT!

I'LL HELP YOU LOOK FOR IT.

OH, GEE, GOOBER, WOULD YA?

YOU LOOK DOWN HERE, AND I'LL LOOK UPSTAIRS.

HE'LL BE RIGHT OUT!

HELLO?

OH, HEY, HOWARD.

NO, THIS AIN'T ANDY, THIS IS GOOBER,

AND I'M IN A AWFUL --

I'LL TELL 'IM.

THIS IS GOOBER. ANDY AIN'T HERE.

OH, HEY, HELEN.

YEAH, I'D BE GLAD TO.

BYE.

Opie: I FOUND IT, GOOBER!

I FOUND IT!

GOOD, THAT'S GOOD.

IT WAS IN THE DRAWER WITH MY UNDERWEAR.

HAVE A GOOD TIME.

I WILL!

MM-MM-MM.

YOU KNOW, GOOB...

THIS IS GOOD SPAGHETTI.

REAL GOOD.

I KNEW YOU'D LIKE IT.

HAVE SOME MORE.

WELL...

OH, JUST A LITTLE BIT.

JUST A LITTLE BIT HERE.

THERE...WHOOP.

THERE WE ARE.

IT'S ALL IN THE SPECIAL SAUCE.

MM-HMM.

MY VERY OWN SECRET SAUCE.

OH, A SECRET, HUH?

DID YOU MAKE IT UP OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD?

IT'S A FAMILY HAND-ME-DOWN

WITH A SECRET INGREDIENT.

SO IT WON'T DO ANY GOOD TO ASK ME WHAT IT IS.

OKAY, I WON'T.

OREGANO.

WHAT?

YOU MIX IN SOMETHING CALLED OREGANO.

OH, OREGANO.

OH...THAT'S THE SECRET INGREDIENT.

YEAH.

MMM. GOOD.

ANDY, DID YOU EVER HAVE THE FEELING

YOU WAS SUPPOSED TO REMEMBER SOMETHING,

BUT YOU COULDN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS?

MM-HMM. I GUESS EVERYBODY HAS THAT ONCE IN A WHILE.

THAT WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU?

SORT OF, BUT IT COULDN'T BE TOO IMPORTANT

OR I'D REMEMBER IT.

YEAH, I GUESS SO.

MM. WELL, GOOB...

I HATE IT, BUT THAT'S ABOUT...

JUST ABOUT ALL I CAN HOLD.

NOW FOR A NICE, RELAXING EVENING.

SIT DOWN, PUT THE FEET UP, LOOK AT A LITTLE TV,

THEN A NICE NIGHT'S SLEEP.

MM. GOOD.

I'LL HAVE A LITTLE MORE.

OKAY.

OH, BOY, THAT WAS GOOD.

MM-MM-MM.

FULL, FULL, FULL.

ANDY, I'VE STILL GOT A FEELING

THERE'S SOMETHING I OUGHT TO TELL YOU.

OH, IT'LL COME TO YOU, GOOB.

IT'LL COME TO YOU.

YOU REALLY AND TRULY ENJOYED THE SPAGHETTI?

OH, I REALLY DID.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD FOOD. BOY.

FOOD. THAT'S IT, ANDY -- DINNER.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT I WAS TRYING TO REMEMBER.

SOMEBODY CALLED HERE WHILE I WAS HELPING OPIE

HUNT FOR HIS SCOUT AXE AND INVITED YOU TO DINNER.

SOMEBODY INVITED ME TO DINNER? WHO?

WELL, GIVE ME A SECOND, NOW.

THERE WAS TWO CALLS; I REMEMBER THAT.

YEAH, GOOD. WHAT

NOW I REMEMBER-- HOWARD SPRAGUE CALLED

AND INVITED YOU TO DINNER.

HELEN CALLED ABOUT A YOUNG PEOPLE'S CLUB MEETING.

OH, I RAN INTO HOWARD ON THE STREET THIS MORNING.

OH...WELL...

YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO EAT ANOTHER MEAL

AFTER EATING THREE HELPINGS OF SPAGHETTI?

I GOT NO CHOICE.

THEY'VE PROBABLY GONE TO A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE,

AND HOWARD SPRAGUE IS A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE.

SO I'VE BEEN INVITED TO DINNER, AND I BETTER SHOW UP.

THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT DINNER, MOTHER.

THANK YOU, HOWARD.

OH, HOWARD.

OH, YOU'VE GONE BACK TO YOUR FATHER'S OLD HABIT

OF NOT RINSING THE BACKS OF THE PLATES.

OH, DEAR. I WONDER WHO THAT CAN BE.

I'LL GET IT, MOTHER.

OH, HI, ANDY.

EVENING, HOWARD.

IT'S A NICE EVENING.

OH, YES, IT IS.

VERY NICE.

VERY NICE.

I HOPE I'M NOT LATE.

LATE?

OH, NO. NO, NO.

UH, UH, WON'T YOU COME IN?

OH, FINE, FINE, FINE.

WON'T YOU HAVE A SEAT?

WELL, THANK YOU. YEAH.

WELL.

WELL, WHATEVER WE'RE HAVING FOR DINNER

CERTAINLY DOES SMELL GOOD.

UH, YES, IT DOES, DOESN'T IT?

UH, WOULD YOU EXCUSE ME FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE, ANDY?

OF COURSE.

MOTHER, MOTHER!

IT'S ANDY TAYLOR.

AND SOMEHOW HE HAS THE IDEA

HE'S BEEN INVITED TO DINNER.

DINNER? YEAH.

TONIGHT? YEAH.

WHERE DID HE GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

I SAW HIM AT THE GROCERY STORE THIS MORNING,

AND LATER I CALLED AND LEFT A MESSAGE

THAT THE YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEETING HAD BEEN CHANGED,

BUT I NEVER MENTIONED DINNER.

DEAR. YOU MUST HAVE SAID SOMETHING.

NO, NO, I DIDN'T; I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

WELL, WHAT...WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

WELL, THANK HEAVENS WE HAVE PLENTY OF LEFTOVERS.

NOW, YOU GO OUT THERE AND SET THE TABLE FOR THREE

WHILE I GET THINGS STARTED IN HERE.

THREE? YES, THREE.

IF ANDREW THINKS HE'S BEEN INVITED TO DINNER

WE CAN'T VERY WELL LET HIM EAT ALONE, NOW GO.

GO!

DINNER WILL BE READY IN JUST A MINUTE, ANDY.

FINE, FINE, FINE.

OH, UH...

YEAH, I'LL, UH...

EXCUSE ME. EXCUSE ME.

THAT CERTAINLY IS DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI, MRS. SPRAGUE,

ESPECIALLY THAT SAUCE OF YOURS.

OH, THANK YOU, ANDREW.

IT'S SOMETHING OF A SECRET RECIPE

HANDED DOWN THROUGH FIVE GENERATIONS

OF THE SPRAGUE FAMILY.

OH, A SECRET.

OH, WELL, WHATEVER IT IS IN THERE,

IT CERTAINLY IS TANTALIZING.

I REALLY SHOULDN'T TELL YOU, ANDREW,

BUT IT'S A GREEK SPICE CALLED...

OREGANO.

OHH.

OH, WELL, WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD EVER THINK

OF PUTTING OREGANO IN A SAUCE?

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT A SECRET RECIPE, ANDY.

I GUESS IT WOULD, WOULDN'T IT?

OH, ANDREW, YOUR PLATE'S ALMOST EMPTY.

REALLY, I COULDN'T EAT...

HOW'D YOU HANDLE IT?

I ATE.

WHAT'D THEY HAVE?

I SAID WHAT'D THEY HAVE TO EAT?

SPAGHETTI.

SPAGHETTI.

AFTER YOU JUST HAD IT HERE?

THAT'S FUNNY, ANDY.

ANDY, I REALLY AM SORRY

ABOUT NOT REMEMBERING HOWARD INVITING YOU TO DINNER.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT, GOOBER.

YOU'RE NOT MAD AT ME, ARE YOU?

NO, I'M NOT MAD.

'CAUSE IT'S JUST THAT I...

I'M NOT MAD, GOOBER.

I JUST WANT TO GO TO SLEEP.

YOU'RE MAD. I CAN TELL.

I'M NOT MAD.

I JUST GOT SPAGHETTI UP TO MY EYEBALLS,

AND I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP.

WELL, JUST AS LONG AS YOU'RE NOT MAD.

I'M NOT MAD!

WHAT TIME YOU WANT BREAKFAST, ANDY?

HELLO.

JUST A MINUTE, HELEN.

HELEN, FOR YOU.

NOW, I REMEMBER.

SHE WAS THE ONE.

SHE WAS THE ONE, WHAT?

YOU BETTER TALK TO HER, ANDY.

HELLO, HELEN.

WHERE AM I?

ANDY TAYLOR, DO YOU REALIZE YOU'RE AN HOUR LATE ALREADY?

I AM?

I INVITED YOU TO DINNER LAST WEEK,

AND YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP AT ALL.

WELL, I WAS WORKING, HONEY.

IT SEEMS YOU COULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONSIDERATE.

UNCLE EDWARD'S BEEN HERE SINCE 6:00.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO KEEP THE FOOD WARM WITHOUT RUINING IT.

GOOBER TOLD YOU 8:00; ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?

YES.

YES, I AM.

WELL, IF IT'S CONVENIENT

WOULD YOU PLEASE COME RIGHT AWAY?

UH, YES.

NOW, DON'T-DON'T-DON'T BE MAD.

DON'T BE MAD.

I-I-I'M COMING RIGHT AWAY.

I GOT HUNG UP AT THE OFFICE.

YES, I'M LEAVING.

I'M LEAVING NOW.

YES. WELL, BYE.

I REMEMBER NOW.

IT WAS HOWARD THAT CALLED ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE MEETING

AND HELEN WHO CALLED...

I GUESS YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY.

YES, I KNOW THAT ALREADY.

NOW, I'M GOING OVER TO HELEN'S AND EAT MY THIRD SUPPER...

AND THEN I'M COMING BACK...

AND I'M GOING TO KILL YOU.

HI. I'M SORRY I'M LATE.

WELL, JUST COME ON IN.

UH, YOU REMEMBER MY UNCLE EDWARD?

I CERTAINLY DO.

HOW ARE YOU, SIR?

ANDY, MY BOY.

WELL, DINNER'S READY.

I HOPE YOU'RE HUNGRY.

WELL, YOU KNOW ME -- ALWAYS JUST STARVED.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW -- SPAGHETTI.

WELL, I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT

FOR THE ENTIRE MEAL.

UNCLE EDWARD SUPERVISED THE SAUCE.

OH?

YEAH, I GOT THE RECIPE

FROM A FAMOUS ITALIAN CHEF IN NEW YORK CITY.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YEAH, IT TOOK ME ALL EVENING TO WHEEDLE IT OUT OF HIM.

BET IT DID.

YOU'RE NOT KIDDING, BUT I USED MY WITS.

ACTUALLY, IT ALL CENTERS

AROUND ONE SECRET INGREDIENT.

OREGANO.

YEAH.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

I GUESSED.

IS SOMETHING THE MATTER, ANDY?

OH, NO. IT LOOKS LIKE DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI,

BUT, UH, THE FACT IS, UH...

I'M ON A DIET.

WHEN DID THAT START?

WELL, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT FOR JUST WEEKS

BUT BOY, THAT...

MMM!

THAT IS DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI,

AND THAT ITALIAN CHEF REALLY KNEW

WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

TOLD YOU, DIDN'T I?

COME ON, ANDY.

NOW DIG IN. DIG IN.

DIG IN.

DIG RIGHT IN. YES, SIR.

MMM.

COMING, COMING.

WELL, OPE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK?

IT WAS POURING DOWN RAIN IN THE MOUNTAINS.

SO MR. STEVENS DECIDED TO CALL OFF THE CAMPING TRIP

AND BRING US ALL HOME.

WELL, THAT'S A SHAME.

AND I'LL BET YOU'RE STARVED.

BOY, I SURE AM.

WE ALREADY EAT OUR SUPPER.

HEY. WAIT A MINUTE.

SARAH? GET ME HELEN CRUMP.

I KNOW SHE'S HAVING COMPANY.

JUST GET HER, WILL YOU?

EXCUSE ME.

HELLO?

OH, HI, GOOBER.

WELL, YES, CERTAINLY.

YES, I'D BE DELIGHTED.

NO, NO, WE HAVE PLENTY.

SURE. SEND HIM RIGHT OVER.

OKAY, FINE. BYE-BYE.

NOW, YOU JUST SIT THERE

AND EAT TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT.

BOY, SPAGHETTI -- I LOVE SPAGHETTI.

YOUR FATHER DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE FOR HIS.

WELL, A DIET IS A DIET.

WELL, WHAT YOU NEED IS MORE SAUCE.

OH, WELL...

YOU MEAN YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE

ALL THAT FOOD ON YOUR PLATE, PA?

WELL, UH...

WHAT ABOUT WHAT YOU TOLD ME THIS MORNING?

WHAT WAS THAT?

ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE WORLD NOT HAVING ENOUGH TO EAT

AND HOW IT'S ALMOST A CRIME FOR US

NOT TO FINISH EVERYTHING ON OUR PLATES.

THERE ARE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.

I EVEN TOLD OUR SCOUTMASTER WHAT YOU SAID,

AND HE SAID IF MORE PEOPLE FELT THAT WAY

IT WOULD BE A BETTER WORLD.

HE'S A FINE MAN.

IF THIS FOOD WEREN'T HERE, IT MIGHT BE IN INDIA.

WE SHOULD EAT AND NOT LET IT GO TO WASTE.

WELL, OPE...

EAT.

WHAT?

EAT.

GOOD.

NOW, TELL US, HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?

JUST FINE!

OPIE, YOU MEAN YOU WERE AWAY JUST THAT ONE DAY?

YEAH, BUT IT WAS FUN.

WE LEARNED HOW TO PUT HOT ROCKS

IN A SLEEPING BAG TO KEEP WARM.

OH, HOW WONDERFUL!

AND MR. STEVENS WAS PLANNIN'

TO SHOW US HOW TO MAKE PANCAKES

OUT OF POWDERED EGGS, OATMEAL MIX, AND WATER

OVER AN OUTDOOR FIRE --

BEFORE WE GOT RAINED OUT.

WELL, AS A COOK, I THINK IT WAS FORTUNATE

THE RAINS CAME WHEN THEY DID.

WELL, NOW, HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?

OH, NOT A DULL MOMENT.

ELLEN'S INVITED ME BACK FOR THE STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.

BUT I SAID, "NO."

ANDY, IT'S NOT FAIR TO LEAVE YOU ALONE.

YOU'RE LOOKING VERY PALE.

I DON'T THINK YOU HAD ENOUGH TO EAT.

HE SAYS HE'S ON A DIET.

OH, WHAT NONSENSE.

I'M GOING TO GET SOMETHING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW.

SOME HAMBURGER -- NO! SPAGHETTI!

SPAGHETTI, THAT WON'T TAKE LONG.
