Miss Crump: "THE BEST-LAID PLANS OF MICE AND MEN

AFT GANG AGLEY,

AND LEAVE US NOUGHT BUT PAIN AND GRIEF,

FOR PROMISED JOY!"

OH, JUST A MINUTE, EVERYBODY.

WE'LL GO INTO THIS AGAIN ON MONDAY.

NOW I WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS WEEKEND'S ASSIGNMENT.

I'D LIKE YOU TO WRITE A COMPOSITION ON

"MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER"

OF 500 WORDS OR MORE.

CAN WE WRITE ABOUT ANYBODY, MISS CRUMP?

UH, YES, BETSY, ANYBODY WHO'S MADE AN IMPRESSION UPON YOU.

HOW ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON?

WELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON'S FINE,

BUT I PREFER THAT YOU WROTE ABOUT

SOMEBODY THAT YOU KNOW AND ADMIRE PERSONALLY.

MISS CRUMP? YES, BETSY?

I HAD AN UNCLE ONCE WHO HAD ONE BROWN EYE AND ONE BLUE EYE.

WELL, THAT'S A GOOD START, BETSY.

I JUST HOPE YOU CAN GET 500 WORDS OUT OF THE REST OF HIM.

ALL RIGHT, CLASS, YOU HAVE YOUR ASSIGNMENT.

YOU'RE DISMISSED.

WHO ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE ABOUT, OPE?

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW, EITHER.

LOOKS LIKE A LONG WEEKEND.

WELL, THERE MUST BE SOMEBODY

THAT YOU COULD WRITE ABOUT, OPIE.

I JUST CAN'T THINK

OF ANY UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS IN MAYBERRY.

OH, NONSENSE.

MAYBERRY'S GOT AS MANY UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS

AS ANY OTHER TOWN.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I COULD REEL OFF A DOZEN.

YOU COULD?

YES.

MR. BRISTOL, THE EGG MAN.

WHO TALKS TO HIS CHICKENS LIKE THEY WERE REAL PEOPLE.

THAT'S FASCINATING.

YEAH, BUT I NEED MORE THAN THAT.

DOES HE DO ANYTHING ELSE THAT'S NUTTY?

WELL, YOU MIGHT ASK AROUND.

HOW ABOUT GOOBER?

WELL, I STARTED TO WRITE ABOUT HIM,

BUT I ONLY GOT 43 WORDS.

WELL, WHOEVER YOU CHOOSE,

YOU'LL GET YOUR USUAL "A."

MAYBE.

HOWARD SPRAGUE -- HE'S A POSSIBILITY.

HE SINGLE-HANDEDLY REORGANIZED

THE ENTIRE SEWER SYSTEM OF MAYBERRY.

THAT'S NO ORDINARY MAN.

YEAH. HOWARD WOULD BE A GOOD BET.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET OVER TO THE LODGE.

BIG MEMBERSHIP MEETING.

I'LL SEE YA.

BYE. BYE.

I REALLY LIKE MISS CRUMP,

BUT SHE SURE CAN HAND OUT TOUGH ASSIGNMENTS.

OH, OPIE, AS YOU GO THROUGH LIFE,

YOU'LL MEET MANY TOUGH ASSIGNMENTS.

YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL LEARN TO FACE THEM.

HOW DO YOU THINK YOUR FATHER GOT

WHERE HE IS? WELL, IT WASN'T BECAUSE...

OPIE!

WHAT DID I DO?

THE PERFECT SUBJECT FOR YOUR UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER --

YOUR VERY OWN FATHER, THE SHERIFF OF MAYBERRY.

PAW?

YES. HE'S GOT

THE MOST EXCITING JOB IN TOWN, HASN'T HE?

YEAH, HE DOES, DOESN'T HE?

AND HE'S CERTAINLY COLORFUL.

THEY'D NEVER REELECT A DULL MAN SHERIFF

YEAR AFTER YEAR, NOW, WOULD THEY?

NO, THEY WOULDN'T.

HEY, I THINK I'LL GO OVER TO THE COURTHOUSE TOMORROW

AND REALLY WATCH HIM FOR A WHILE.

HE'LL BE SO PROUD WHEN HE FINDS OUT YOU SELECTED HIM.

I DON'T THINK WE OUGHT TO TELL HIM YET.

MIGHT MAKE HIM NERVOUS.

YES, THAT'S TRUE.

IT MIGHT MAKE A PERSON NERVOUS IF HE KNEW HE WAS UNFORGETTABLE.

OPIE.

MORNING, PAW.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN STANDING THERE?

OH, I JUST GOT HERE.

OH.

EXCUSE ME.

ARE YOU EXPECTING

TO LOCK SOMEBODY UP THIS MORNING, PAW?

NO. JUST CLEANING UP A LITTLE BIT.

SINCE OTIS STARTED DOING HIS DRINKING IN MT. PILOT,

ABOUT THE ONLY CUSTOMERS I HAVE

ARE COUPLE OF FAT OLD SPIDERS.

BOY, BET IF THESE BARS COULD TALK,

THEY COULD REALLY TELL SOME STORIES, HUH, PAW?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY SING SING.

WHAT BRINGS YOU OVER HERE TODAY?

OH, YOU KNOW, PAW, IT'S SATURDAY

AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO,

SO I THOUGHT I'D COME OVER HERE

AND HANG AROUND FOR A WHILE.

OH. OH.

DON'T YOU HAVE A COMPOSITION TO WRITE?

I'M WORKING ON IT.

OH.

HEY, PAW, AREN'T YOU GOING TO OPEN YOUR MAIL?

LOOK, SOMETHING FROM THE FBI.

AW, THAT'S JUST A WANTED POSTER.

I GET THEM ALL THE TIME.

SEE?

BOY, HE LOOKS MEAN.

BET YOU'RE NOT SCARED OF HIM, HUH, PAW?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU,

LONG AS HE STAYS WHERE HE WAS LAST SEEN...

SEATTLE --

I'M NOT SCARED OF HIM A BIT.

BUT YOU HAVE CAUGHT CRIMINALS BEFORE.

OPE, BY THE TIME THEY GET TO MAYBERRY,

THEY'RE PRETTY TIRED

AND IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH CATCHING.

WHY ALL THE QUESTIONS?

NO REASON.

BOY, I BET IF THESE GUNS COULD TALK, HUH, PAW?

OH, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'D HAVE MUCH TO SAY EITHER.

I BELIEVE THE LAST TIME I SHOT ONE OF THOSE

WAS AT THE CHURCH PICNIC TO START A POTATO SACK RACE.

BOY, THERE'S NOT MUCH EXCITEMENT AROUND HERE, IS THERE, PAW?

OPIE, EXCITEMENT'S KIND OF RELATIVE.

I MEAN, THERE'S MORE EXCITEMENT HERE

THAN AT LUCY BURNETTE'S DRY GOODS STORE.

BUT THEN AGAIN, I DON'T DO NEAR THE BUSINESS

THAT MARSHAL DILLON DOES.

HEY, ANDY.

HEY, OPE, YOU WANT TO HEAR THE LATEST ON YOUR PAW?

YEAH. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME,

HE HAD THREE MORE CHECKERS THAN ME, BUT I BEAT HIM ANYWAY.

SOMETHIN', HUH?

YEAH. WANT A RE

YOU BET.

NOW, OPE, YOU WANT SOME EXCITEMENT,

YOU JUST WATCH WHAT I DO TO HIM NOW.

AH, YOU SEE WHAT YOU DO.

I WON ONE, I WON ONE.

CHEATERS DON'T WIN.

OH, OPIE!

HI, AUNT BEE. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU GOT HOME SO SOON.

WELL, I GOT ABOUT ALL I COULD AT THE COURT HOUSE.

WELL, TELL ME, TELL ME.

WELL, THERE'S NOT MUCH TO TELL,

EXCEPT PAW BEAT GOOBER TWO OUT OF THREE AT CHECKERS.

OH? YEAH, THEN HE WENT OVER TO THE BARBER SHOP

AND BALLED OUT FLOYD FOR SWEEPING HIS HAIR

ONTO THE STREET.

THEN HE CAME BACK INTO THE COURT HOUSE,

CHANGED A TYPEWRITER RIBBON, AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT.

OH, DEAR.

SURE WAS A FORGETTABLE MORNING.

WELL, OPIE, DEEDS OF DERRING-DO

DON'T ALWAYS MEASURE THE QUALITY OF A MAN.

WHAT MAKES SOME CHARACTERS UNFORGETTABLE

IS NOT WHAT THEY DO, BUT HOW THEY DO IT.

YOU JUST HAVE TO DRAW YOUR FATHER OUT MORE.

BUT I WAS DRAWING HIM OUT ALL MORNING.

WELL, YOU KNOW HIM. HE'S A MAN OF FEW WORDS.

THAT'S MY PROBLEM.

HE'S A MAN OF FEW WORDS, AND I NEED 500 OF THEM.

WELL, YOU MIGHT TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH.

YOU KNOW, IN THE ARTICLES THAT I'VE READ

ABOUT UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS,

IT'S THE WAY PEOPLE THINK,

THEIR PHILOSOPHY THAT MAKES THEM UNUSUAL.

YOU KNOW, THE PHILOSOPHICAL SIDE OF A PERSON

IS THE MOST INTERESTING.

WELL, I'LL TRY ANYTHING.

GOOD.

HI, OPE.

HI, PAW.

CAN I ASK YOU A PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION?

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

WHAT'S YOUR PHILOSOPHY?

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT LIFE.

I'M ALL FOR IT.

LET'S SEE WHAT AUNT BEE'S GOT FOR SUPPER.

WHAT'S FOR SUPPER?

ROAST BEEF AND STRING BEANS.

GOOD.

ANDY, DID YOU SEE OPIE?

YEAH, I SAW HIM.

DID YOU SPEAK TO HIM?

YEAH, WE'RE FRIENDLY.

NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

DID YOU HAVE A LITTLE CHAT WITH HIM?

YEAH.

NICE CHAT?

IS THERE SOMETHING GOING ON WITH OPIE

THAT I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT?

NO, YOU SHOULDN'T.

HE'S BEEN ASKING ME AN AWFUL LOT OF QUESTIONS LATELY.

NOW, WHAT'S UP?

AUNT BEE, WHAT'S UP?

ANDY, CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?

YES.

GUESS WHO YOUR SON'S

MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER IS.

ME?

YOU.

NO.

YES.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?

GEE, I NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF AS BEING UNFORGETTABLE.

I JUST KIND OF GO ALONG.

NO, NO, ANDY, YOU'RE A MAN WITH MANY SIDES TO HIM.

OH, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT...

ONLY DON'T LET IT GO TO YOUR HEAD.

OH, OH, NO.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

I... I THINK I'LL GO HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH HIM.

SEE YOU.

NO, NO, ANDY, THIS WAY.

OH.

OH, ANDY.

DON'T LET HIM KNOW I TOLD YOU.

IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE.

OH.

HI, OPE.

HI, PAW.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING

ABOUT THAT QUESTION YOU ASKED ME.

WHICH ONE?

ABOUT MY PHILOSOPHY.

OH.

MY PHILOSOPHY IS,

DO UNTO OTHERS

AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.

OH.

DO...

UNTO...

OTHERS...

OKAY?

NOW, I BELIEVE I'LL GO UPSTAIRS

AND TAKE A BATH.

AND MAYBE WHILE I'M IN THE TUB,

I'LL THINK OF SOME MORE THINGS.

THAT'S A BOY.

ARE YOU KIDDING?

I CAUGHT SEVEN PERCH AND SIX LARGEMOUTH BASS.

IT WAS THE FINEST WEEKEND OF FISHING I EVER HAD.

I HEARD THEY WERE BITING.

I CAUGHT MORE 'CAUSE I WAS USING...

HI, FELLAS.

Both: HI, HOWARD.

ANDY, YOU MUST FEEL REAL PROUD.

YOU'RE INTERRUPTING, HOWARD!

DIDN'T SOUND LIKE YOU WERE TALKING

ABOUT ANYTHING IMPORTANT.

WELL, WHAT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU

MAY BE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.

COME ON, GOOB. WHAT WERE YOU SAYING, HOWARD?

AUNT BEE WAS TELLING MY MOTHER

ABOUT THE COMPOSITION OPIE'S WRITING ABOUT YOU.

YOU MUST FEEL VERY PROUD.

WHAT COMPOSITION IS THAT?

MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER.

OPIE PICKED ANDY.

AW...

AW, WELL THAT'S NICE.

THAT'S REALLY NICE.

WELL, I GUESS OPE AND I ARE PRETTY CLOSE.

IT MUST BE A LOT MORE TO IT THAN THAT.

I BET HE SAW SOMETHING

MIGHTY UNUSUAL IN HIS FATHER.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S TRUE, ANDY.

HE PICKED A GOOD ONE.

WITH THE INTERESTING THINGS YOU'RE ALWAYS DOING.

GOOBER'S RIGHT.

WHEN YOU WRITE ABOUT AN UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER,

YOU NEED A VERY COLORFUL SUBJECT.

WELL, I GUESS I HAVE DONE A LITTLE LIVING IN MY TIME.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

OPIE'S REAL LUCKY.

I BET THOSE OTHER KIDS HAD A HARD TIME

FINDING SOMEBODY TO WRITE ABOUT.

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

HI, PAW.

HEY, OPE. OPE.

HEY, COME HERE.

COME HERE.

JUST, UH...

WANTED TO KNOW HOW THINGS WENT IN SCHOOL TODAY.

OH, THEY WENT OKAY.

GOOD.

UH, HOW'D YOU DO IN ENGLISH?

ENGLISH?

WE KNOW WHO YOU WROTE ABOUT.

YOU DO?

DID, UH, MISS CRUMP READ YOUR PAPER YET?

YEAH, SHE READ IT.

I GUESS YOU GOT YOUR USUAL "A."

UH... NOT THIS TIME, PAW.

B

WELL, NOT EXACTLY.

WHAT DID YOU GET?

I GOT AN "F."

I'LL SEE YA, PAW.

AN "F"?

MAYBE THAT STANDS FOR "FINE."

OR MAYBE HELEN WASN'T FEELING GOOD TODAY.

OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BAD SPELLING.

COULD HAVE BEEN A HUNDRED DIFFERENT REASONS.

YEAH.

HI.

OH. OH, HI. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I WAS JUST PASSING BY

AND THOUGHT I'D OFFER YOU A RIDE HOME.

I'D LOVE IT IF YOU DON'T MIND

HANGING AROUND A LITTLE WHILE.

NO. THAT'S FINE.

I HAVE TO FINISH GRADING THESE COMPOSITIONS.

I'LL DO IT AS QUICKLY AS I CAN.

ALL RIGHT.

IT MUST BE A TOUGH JOB WADING THROUGH ALL THOSE PAPERS.

OH, NO.

SOME OF THEM ARE VERY INTERESTING.

OH.

HIT A GOOD UN, HUH?

EXCELLENT.

I GUESS THE REASON OPIE GOT HIS, UH... "F"

IS BECAUSE OF HIS... SENTENCE STRUCTURE.

NO. HIS SENTENCE STRUCTURE WAS FINE.

OH, THEN IT WAS

PROBABLY BECAUSE OF HIS LACK OF VOCABULARY.

NO TROUBLE WITH HIS VOCABULARY.

GRAMMAR?

IT WAS FINE.

IF, UH...

IF YOU THINK THE REASON I GAVE OPIE A BAD MARK

WAS BECAUSE, UH...

WELL, IT CERTAINLY WASN'T THE SUBJECT.

OH, NO...

I KNOW THAT WHEN OPIE DOES HIS REWRITE,

HE'LL GET A LOT MORE INTERESTING THINGS

TO WRITE ABOUT YOU.

OH, WELL, SURE. OKAY?

YEAH.

OKAY.

UH, I JUST HAPPENED TO THINK.

I-I'VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS TO DO,

AND MAYBE I BETTER RUN ON,

AND I'LL DROP YOU OFF HOME ANOTHER TIME, OKAY?

OKAY. I'VE STILL GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO ANYWAY.

OKAY. ANOTHER TIME

BYE-BYE.

COME IN.

HI, OPE.

HI, PAW.

HOW'S EVERYTHING?

FINE.

GOOD.

YOU'RE NOT SORE ABOUT MY MARK, ARE YOU?

NO. NO.

HOW'S THE REWRITE COMING?

OH, IT'S COMING ALONG PRETTY GOOD.

GOOD.

THAT'S GOOD.

YEP.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, PAW?

OH, NO.

NO, I WAS JUST BROWSING.

HMM.

WELL...

MY OLD PIGGY BANK.

BOY, DOES THAT BRING BACK MEMORIES.

I REMEMBER THE FIRST DOLLAR I EVER PUT IN THERE.

YOU DO?

MM-HMM.

FOR CATCHING A WILDCAT.

A WILDCAT?

REALLY?

YEAH.

ONE OF THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE.

I WAS A YOUNG BOY, ABOUT YOUR AGE,

AND THE COUNTY WAS OFFERING A DOLLAR BOUNTY

FOR EVERY WILDCAT CAUGHT.

GEE, PAW, THAT MUST HAVE BEEN AWFUL DANGEROUS.

NAH. I WAS A DEVIL-MAY-CARE YOUNG SCALLYWAG IN THOSE DAYS.

HEY, DID YOU SHOOT HIM?

OH, NO, NO, NO.

I DIDN'T EVEN OWN A GUN.

I CAUGHT HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS.

WOW.

Aunt Bee: MILK BREAK.

THANKS, AUNT BEE.

HEY, AUNT BEE, PAW WAS JUST TELLING ME

HOW HE CAUGHT A WILDCAT.

OH, YES.

I REMEMBER THAT.

YOU DO?

YES. I REMEMBER THIS WILDCAT

CRAWLING INTO THE BACK YARD.

IT WAS THE SICKEST ANIMAL

I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

AUNT BEE.

HE COULD HARDLY STAND UP. I FELT SO SORRY FOR HIM.

HE COULDN'T STAND UP?

NO. AND YOUR FATHER, WHO'S VERY FOND OF ANIMALS,

PICKED HIM UP AND CRADLED HIM IN HIS ARMS.

AND AFTER A FEW MOMENTS

THE WILDCAT JUST PUT HIS HEAD ON YOUR FATHER'S ARM

AND WENT TO SLEEP.

IT WAS VERY SAD.

AND THEY PAID YOU A DOLLAR FOR THAT?

IT COULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS.

HOW ABOUT A CATCH?

I CAN'T.

YOU STILL WORKING ON THE COMPOSITION?

YEAH.

I DON'T HAVE TO REWRITE MINE.

HI, GUYS.

HI, SHERIFF TAYLOR.

HI, PAW.

PLAYING A LITTLE BASEBALL, ARE YOU?

WELL...

NO, I GUESS NOT.

I USED TO PLAY A LOT OF BASEBALL

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

PITCHED.

I GUESS I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT, HUH?

YES, PAW.

DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT MY WOBBLE BALL?

NO.

MOST UNFORGETTABLE SEASON I EVER PLAYED.

I HAD A BROKEN FINGER

AND IT DIDN'T SET QUITE RIGHT,

AND I HAD TO GRIP THE BALL IN A FUNNY WAY,

AND, WELL,

THAT'S HOW I DEVELOPED MY WOBBLE BALL.

HOW DO YOU DO IT?

WELL, NOW, YOU GOT TO HAVE

A CROOKED MIDDLE FINGER.

YEAH, I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT NO-HIT GAME

I PITCHED AGAINST MT. PILOT.

Both: NO!

YEAH, IT'S ALL IN THE RECORD BOOK.

LET ME SEE THE BALL THERE, ARNOLD.

GET ON OUT THERE, ARNOLD.

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT WORKS.

YEAH.

HUH?

READY?

AH! GET HIM AT HOME!

WHAT DO YOU SAY, OPE, ANDY?

HEY, SHOWING OFF THE OLD WOBBLE BALL, HUH?

PAW WAS JUST TELLING US HOW HE PITCHED A NO-HIT GAME

AGAINST MT. PILOT HIGH.

THE ONE WE LOST TEN TO NOTHING?

LOST?

HOW COULD YOU LOSE A NO

HE WALKED 17 MEN.

IT'S ALL IN THE RECORD BOOK.

HEY, ARNOLD, COME ON.

BURN SOME TO ME.

COME ON.

THE WAY I SEE IT, HOWARD,

IT OUGHT TO BE LEFT STRICTLY UP TO THE UNITED NATIONS.

HI.

HI, GUYS.

OPE, COME HERE A MINUTE. COME HERE.

I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

HOW ARE YOU COMING ON THE NEW COMPOSITION?

I FINISHED IT.

DID YOU GET YOUR MARK YET?

YEAH. I GOT AN "A."

Both: "A"?!

HEY, THAT'S WONDERFUL.

I TOLD YOU.

HOW ABOUT THAT, HOWARD?

I TOLD YOU HE COULD GET AN "A."

WHAT'S ALL THE RACKET ABOUT?

TELL HIM, HOWARD.

OPIE GOT AN "A" ON HIS SECOND PAPER.

DID YA?

YEAH.

WELL, I BETTER BE GETTING ON HOME, PAW.

WAIT A MINUTE.

AREN'T YOU GOING TO LET ME SEE

WHAT YOU WROTE?

WELL...

GO AHEAD. TELL HIM, OPIE.

HE KNEW MORE ABOUT MY FATHER THAN I DID.

YOUR FATHER?

OH, YOU WROTE ABOUT DR. BAILEY THE SECOND TIME.

YEAH. YOU SEE, PAW,

I WAS LOOKING INTO MY MICROSCOPE AT THIS HORSEFLY,

AND I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT GERMS AND DISEASES,

AND THAT'S WHAT GOT ME TO THINKING ABOUT DR. BAILEY.

OH, SURE, SURE.

THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU GOT AN "A."

YEAH, THAT'S THE IMPORTANT THING.

YEAH. IT SHOWS HE CAN WRITE GOOD COMPOSITIONS.

I GOT AN "A," TOO.

OH, WELL, GOOD.

I GUESS DR. BAILEY HAD ENOUGH DISEASES

FOR BOTH OF 'EM.

I DIDN'T WRITE ABOUT MY FATHER.

I WROTE ABOUT YOU, SHERIFF TAYLOR.

WHAT?

YEAH. I COULDN'T THINK OF ANYTHING

TO WRITE ABOUT MY DAD,

BUT I THOUGHT OF A LOT OF THINGS

I COULD WRITE ABOUT YOU.

OH, WELL, UH, THANK YOU, ARNOLD.

THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU.

PAW, COULD I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE?

SURE.

WELL, SEE, PAW,

THE REASON I PROBABLY COULDN'T WRITE ABOUT YOU

AND ARNOLD COULDN'T WRITE ABOUT HIS FATHER...

WELL, WHEN YOU WRITE ABOUT PEOPLE

YOU'RE REAL CLOSE TO,

THINGS THAT ARE UNFORGETTABLE ABOUT THEM...

WELL, IF YOU WROTE THEM DOWN,

IT'D SOUND KIND OF...

SISSY.

OH.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND.

I WONDER WHAT ARNOLD WROTE ABOUT YOU.

I DON'T HAVE THE FAINTEST IDEA.

WELL, AREN'T YOU EVEN THE LEAST BIT CURIOUS?

NO.

MMM, GOODNESS SAKES.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.

OH, MY SCISSORS.

THEY'RE ALWAYS UPSTAIRS.

BOY, IT WAS REALLY A GOOD GAME.

YEAH -- WELL, I THINK I'VE GOTTA GO HOME NOW.

OH, OKAY, SEE YOU LATER.

UH UM, I WONDER IF YOU'D DO ME A FAVOR.

I JUST NOTICED I JUST RAN OUT OF RAZOR BLADES.

WOULD YOU GO DOWN TO THE STORE AND GET THEM FOR ME?

SURE, PAW. YOU KNOW THE KIND I WANT.

YEAH -- SEE YOU LATER, ARNOLD.

I'LL SEE YA.

WELL, I'LL SEE YA, SHERIFF.

ARNOLD? IF YOU'RE NOT IN A BIG RUSH,

WANT TO GO IN THE KITCHEN AND HAVE A GLASS OF MILK?

THAT ALWAYS GOES GOOD AFTER A BALL GAME.

WELL...OKAY.

OKAY.
