HI, ANDY.

OH, HI, HOWARD.

SAY, I WAS JUST GLANCING THROUGH THE PAPER HERE

AND I CAME ACROSS THAT AD OPIE PUT IN.

OH, HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO TRY THAT NEXT.

I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET.

WELL, IT'S VERY MUCH TO THE POINT. SEE?

"WANTED: STEADY JOB

"AFTER SCHOOL AND ON SATURDAYS.

"I'M NEARLY 14 YEARS OLD

"UNTRAINED, BUT AMBITIOUS AND WILLING TO LEARN.

OPIE TAYLOR. 426." HUH?

NOT BAD, HUH?

YEAH.

THIS MUST BE AN EMOTIONAL TIME FOR YOU, ANDY --

WATCHING YOUR ONLY SON GETTING READY TO LEAVE THE NEST.

HUH?

WELL, IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE YOUNG FLEDGLING

IS TESTING HIS WINGS.

OH, NO, NO.

HE JUST WANTS TO GET A NEW ELECTRIC GUITAR.

OH. OH. YEAH.

WELL, I ADMIRE HIM FOR GOING AFTER IT HIMSELF.

YEAH.

SAY, UH...HAS HE HAD ANY OFFERS YET?

NO. THIS IS HIS LAST RESORT.

OH. WELL, IT APPEARS TO ME

THAT THIS IS A COMMUNITY PROBLEM.

YOU KNOW, IF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE

CAN'T FIND OPPORTUNITIES HERE IN TOWN,

MAYBERRY'S LIABLE TO DRY UP.

THEY'LL LEAVE US FOR NEW HORIZONS.

WELL, I-I DON'T THINK

OPIE'S GOING ANYWHERE JUST YET.

HE'S GOING AFTER HIS FIRST REAL JOB, HUH?

OH, BOY.

BRINGS BACK MEMORIES, DOESN'T IT?

YEAH.

'COURSE, I STARTED OFF LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE --

MOWING LAWNS AND DELIVERING PACKAGES, YOU KNOW.

MY FIRST REAL JOB WAS WORKING OVER AT THE MOVIE HOUSE.

OH? YEAH.

RUNNING THE POPCORN MACHINE.

FIRST DAY, I PUT IN TOO MUCH POPCORN.

NEVER DID QUIT POPPING.

OLD MAN MacKNIGHT HAD TO GIVE IT AWAY.

YEAH. YEAH.

BET YOU DON'T REMEMBER MY FIRST JOB, ANDY.

NO.

I WAS A LITTLE OLDER, OF COURSE.

TRUCK DRIVER.

HMM.

MAYBERRY TRANSFER COMPANY.

YEAH?

'COURSE AFTER THE FIRST FEW DAYS, I, UH...

QUIT?

YEAH.

JUST WASN'T ME.

IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOU.

FOR THOSE FEW DAYS, I GAVE IT ALL I HAD.

WELL, YOU WOULD.

YOU WOULD, YEAH.

YEAH, TO THIS DAY

I STILL HAVE A SOFT SPOT IN MY HEART

FOR TON-AND-A-HALF TRUCKS.

YEAH.

I DON'T TALK ABOUT IT MUCH.

WELL, PART OF THE PAST.

YEAH, YEAH.

BUT THAT'S WHY I GET A BELT OUT OF OPIE LOOKING FOR THIS JOB.

YEAH. YEAH.

BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF HE COMES UP WITH ANYTHING.

YEAH, YEAH. IT WILL, YEAH.

OH, HI, MR. CRAWFORD.

HI, ANDY.

WAIT A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

SAY, HAVE YOU GOT A MINUTE?

YEAH.

COME ON INSIDE.

I GUESS YOU HEARD THAT ELROY DOCKINS

LEFT ME TO TAKE A JOB OVER AT MT. PILOT.

UH, YEAH, I DID HEAR SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

IT WASN'T JUST THE MONEY.

HE'S 19. HAD AN ITCH FOR BIG-CITY LIFE.

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO ABOUT IT.

YEAH. HE RAN YOUR SODA FOUNTAIN REAL WELL.

OH, YEAH, THAT HE DID, THAT HE DID.

MY PROBLEM NOW IS TO GET SOMEBODY TO TAKE HIS PLACE

AFTERNOONS AND ON SATURDAYS.

IT ISN'T EASY TO FIND A GOOD COUNTERMAN.

YEAH, I GUESS NOT.

ANDY, I'LL GET RIGHT TO THE POINT.

I SAW OPIE'S AD IN THE PAPER TODAY.

OH.

NOW, THIS JOB, 'COURSE, IT DON'T REALLY CALL FOR A KID.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I GAVE UP ON THEM YEARS AGO.

TROUBLE, HUH?

YEAH. ALWAYS BREAKING THINGS

AND GIVING CREDIT TO THEIR FRIENDS,

AND THEY DON'T LISTEN TO YOU.

YEAH, IT JUST DIDN'T WORK OUT.

MMM.

WHAT KIND OF A BOY IS OPIE?

THAT'S KIND OF A FUNNY QUESTION TO ASK ME.

I KNOW IT IS, BUT YOU'RE HIS FATHER.

I KNOW YOU'LL GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT.

SEE, THIS JOB CALLS FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S OLDER THAN OPIE.

BUT STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER,

YOU THINK MAYBE HE COULD HANDLE IT?

WELL, I STILL THINK YOU'RE ASKING THE WRONG PERSON.

YOU KNOW HIM BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE.

WELL, I KNOW, BUT SOMETIMES, A-A FATHER HAS THE TENDENCY

TO, YOU KNOW, BRAG ON HIS OWN SON.

ANDY, IF YOU HAD A SODA FOUNTAIN THAT HAD TO BE RUN RIGHT,

WOULD YOU HIRE OPIE?

I FEEL FRIENDLY ENOUGH TOWARD YOU TO ASK YOU THAT.

WELL...OPIE HAS HIS FAULTS.

I MEAN, HE DOESN'T LIKE TO MAKE UP HIS BED,

AND SOMETIMES HE LEAVES HIS CLOTHES LYING AROUND, BUT...

WHEN IT COMES TO THE MATTER OF A JOB,

I BELIEVE YOU WOULD FIND HIM

AS RESPONSIBLE AS ANYBODY YOU COULD GET,

AND HE'S A GOOD BOY AND...

YEAH. YEAH.

IF-IF I HAD A SODA FOUNTAIN, I'D HIRE HIM IN A MINUTE.

THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO HEAR, ANDY.

PA, GUESS WHAT?! WHAT?

MR. CRAWFORD GAVE ME A JOB WORKING IN HIS DRUG STORE.

TAKING CARE OF THE SODA FOUNTAIN?

YEAH, HOW'D YOU KNOW?

OH, I JUST FIGURED.

HE CALLED ME UP ABOUT AN HOUR AGO

AND TOLD ME TO COME OVER FOR AN INTERVIEW.

I WENT OVER, AND HE INTERVIEWED ME.

HE ASKED ME ABOUT MY HABITS --

YOU KNOW, MAKING MY BED, PICKING UP MY CLOTHES.

I TOLD HIM THAT WAS JUST WHEN I WAS AT HOME,

AND WHEN I WORK FOR SOMEBODY, I'M REAL NEAT.

AND HE HIRED YOU? YEAH.

WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.

THANKS. FUNNY THING.

I WENT IN THERE ABOUT A WEEK AGO,

AND HE TOLD ME TO COME BACK IN 10 YEARS.

I GUESS HE JUST CHANGED HIS MIND.

YEAH.

PA, HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS TO RUN THE SODA FOUNTAIN?

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU THE TRUTH, OPE.

MR. CRAWFORD STOPPED ME ON THE STREET TODAY.

DID HE WANT YOU TO WORK FOR HIM, TOO?

NOTHING LIKE THAT.

HE ASKED ME ABOUT YOU

AND WHETHER I THOUGHT YOU COULD HANDLE THE JOB.

YOU MEAN YOU RECOMMENDED ME?

WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY THAT.

I MEAN, I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE,

THAT YOU WOULD TRY HARD,

AND THAT YOU COULD DO A GOOD JOB,

AND THAT'S ABOUT ALL.

OH.

YOU BETTER RUN UPSTAIRS AND TELL AUNT BEE.

YEAH.

PA?

YEAH?

THANKS.

NOW, YOU MAKE YOUR SUNDAES IN THESE LITTLE DISHES HERE.

ONE SCOOP OF ICE CREAM,

THEN THE SYRUP OR CHOCOLATE --

FULL SQUIRT -- STRAWBERRY, WHATEVER.

A LITTLE WHIPPED CREAM AND A CHERRY ON THE TOP.

YES, SIR.

YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT NOW?

YES, SIR, I THINK I'VE GOT IT.

FINE.

NOW, REMEMBER,

THE FOUNTAIN HAS ALWAYS GOT TO BE KEPT NEAT AND CLEAN.

RIGHT.

AND IF YOU RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS, JUST YELL.

YES, SIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR.

THAT'S OUR MENU.

OH, NO. JUST A GLASS OF WATER, PLEASE.

YES, SIR.

WATER COLD ENOUGH, SIR?

OH, FINE. JUST FINE.

THANK YOU.

COME AGAIN.

MORE SYRUP.

THAT'S ALL WE GIVE.

BUT I'M YOUR FRIEND.

LOOK, ARNOLD, I CAN'T GIVE EVERY FRIEND

THAT COMES IN HERE

MORE THAN HE'S SUPPOSED TO GET.

NOW, WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS, ARNOLD,

BUT THIS STUFF COSTS MONEY.

HOW IS IT?

NOT BAD.

YOU MAKE A PRETTY GOOD BANANA SPLIT FOR A KID.

THANKS.

HEY, OPE.

YEAH, ARNOLD?

I'LL PAY YOU TOMORROW.

I'VE ONLY GOT 75 CENTS,

AND I'VE GOT TO BUY A NEW FISHING LINE.

I'M SORRY, ARNOLD.

YOU HAVE TO PAY NOW.

BUT I SAID I'D PAY YOU TOMORROW.

35 CENTS, ARNOLD.

OPE, IT'S ME -- ARNOLD.

I'M YOUR FRIEND.

ARNOLD, WE RUN THIS FOUNTAIN ON A CASH BASIS.

NO CREDIT.

I'M NOT ASKING FOR CREDIT.

I'M ASKING FOR 24 HOURS.

ARNOLD, I HAVE TO HAVE THE 35 CENTS.

OKAY.

THERE.

GIVE A GUY AN APRON, AND IT GOES RIGHT TO HIS HEAD.

COME AGAIN.

WELL, THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT SANDWICH, OPIE.

WE TRY TO USE THE BEST INGREDIENTS, MRS. BRIGGS.

AND IT WAS NICELY PREPARED, TOO.

THERE YOU ARE, AND TEN CENTS FOR YOU.

THANK YOU. COME AGAIN.

I CERTAINLY WILL.

HI, MR. CRAWFORD.

OPIE, HOW LONG YOU BEEN WORKING HERE NOW?

OVER THREE WEEKS.

SAVING YOUR MONEY?

I GOT NEARLY $70 PUT AWAY.

OH, GOOD.

OPIE, YOU'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB HERE.

WHEN YOUR DAD SAID YOU COULD FILL THE BILL,

HE CERTAINLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT.

THANK YOU.

HE SAID THAT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE,

AND YOU REALLY ARE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'VE BEEN THINKING

OF GIVING YOU EVEN MORE RESPONSIBILITY.

OH?

YEAH. BY NOW YOU MUST BE PRETTY FAMILIAR

WITH THE STOCK AROUND HERE.

I'VE GOT SOME THINGS TO ATTEND TO

UP AT THE HOUSE, AND I THOUGHT

MAYBE I'D TAKE OFF FOR A FEW HOURS...

LET YOU HANDLE THE PLACE.

GEE.

THE PRICES ARE ALL MARKED.

IF THEY AREN'T, YOU CAN FIND THEM IN THE STOCK BOOK THERE.

WHAT IF SOMEBODY COMES IN FOR MEDICINE?

IN THAT CASE, JUST GIVE ME A RING UP AT THE HOUSE.

YES, SIR.

I'LL BE BACK IN A FEW HOURS.

ALL RIGHT, OPIE, IT'S ALL YOURS.

MMM.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT LAST YEAR'S FIGURES

ARE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER.

MMM, YEAH, I SEE.

I WAS OVER TO THE DRUGSTORE TO BUY ADHESIVE TAPE.

GUESS WHO SOLD IT TO ME.

WHO? OPIE.

HOW COME?

MR. CRAWFORD SAID HE'S SUCH A RESPONSIBLE KID,

HE WASN'T WORRIED ABOUT LEAVING HIM

IN CHARGE OF THE STORE FOR A FEW HOURS.

NO KIDDING. YEAH.

HEY, THAT MUST MAKE YOU FEEL REAL PROUD, ANDY.

YEAH, IT DOES, KIND OF.

HE'S REALLY MOVING UP --

FROM BANANA SPLITS TO ADHESIVE TAPE

IN JUST THREE WEEKS.

OH, YEAH, I KNEW HE WOULD.

THE WAY HE HANDLES THAT FOUNTAIN --

ON THE OLD BALL ALL THE TIME.

YES, SIR, AND HE KNOWS HIS BUSINESS, TOO.

THE AVERAGE PLACE, YOU ORDER A BACON-TOMATO SANDWICH,

THEY PUT A GLOB OF MAYONNAISE JUST IN THE MIDDLE

SO WHEN YOU EAT IT, THERE AIN'T NO MAYONNAISE AROUND THE EDGES.

NOT OPIE. BOY SPREADS IT ALL AROUND. SMART BOY.

HE'S A PRO AT THAT COUNTER, ALL RIGHT.

I ESPECIALLY LIKE THE WAY HE MAKES HIS MALTEDS.

HE GETS THE ICE CREAM MIXED IN THOROUGHLY.

LOOK AT HIM, ALL PUFFED UP.

OH, NO, NO. I'M JUST GLAD TO HEAR HE'S DOING WELL.

HEY, ANDY, WHY DON'T YOU GO THERE

AND BUY SOMETHING FROM HIM?

I BET HE'D GET A BIG KICK

OUT OF SELLING SOMETHING TO YOU.

OH, YEAH, I KNOW HE WOULD.

WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT, ANDY?

I HAVE BEEN MEANING TO GO OVER THERE.

OH, YEAH.

I HAVE. I REALLY HAVE.

THIS IS A GOOD TIME.

HELEN'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP.

I'LL JUST GO OVER AND LOOK INTO THE PERFUME SITUATION, HUH?

HEY, YOU MIGHT TELL HIM

THAT'S THE BEST ADHESIVE TAPE I EVER BOUGHT.

MAKE HIM FEEL GOOD.

HI, OPE.

OH, HI, PA.

HEY, YOU'RE DOING ALL RIGHT, HUH?

YEAH.

GOOBER TOLD ME.

THANKS AGAIN, PA.

IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, I WOULDN'T BE HERE.

NAH, THAT WAS NOTHING.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE PERFUME HERE?

A LITTLE.

FOR MISS CRUMP?

YEAH.

THAT BIG BOTTLE THERE IN THE MIDDLE --

HOW MUCH WOULD A THING LIKE THAT RUN?

THIS ONE?

MM-HMM.

LET'S SEE-- "BLUE MOONLIGHT."

I'LL CHECK IN THE STOCK BOOK.

OKAY.

PERFUMES.

UM...HERE.

PA.

OH.

BLUE MOONLIGHT.

OH.

FOUR OUNCES...

$64.

$64?!

WELL, THAT STUFF RUNS HIGH, DOESN'T IT?

WELL, I IMAGINE IT HAS THE FINEST INGREDIENTS.

HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT I MIGHT DO?

BEFORE I PUT OUT THAT KIND OF MONEY

I MIGHT CHECK WITH MISS CRUMP

AND SEE HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT BLUE MOONLIGHT, HUH?

THAT'D BE PERFECTLY ALL RIGHT, PA.

OKAY. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I'LL DO.

RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YA.

BYE.

Arnold: HEY, OPE?

HI.

I'VE ONLY GOT 32 CENTS.

DO YOU WANT TO SELL ME A BANANA SPLIT OR NOT?

NOT NOW. I'M BUSY.

HEY, YOU LOOK GREEN.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING.

YOU BROKE SOMETHING, HUH?

YEAH.

WHERE'S MR. CRAWFORD?

HE'S HOME.

WHAT'D YOU BREAK?

A BOTTLE OF PERFUME.

A $64 ONE.

SIXTY

THAT'S A PILE OF LOOT.

YOU'RE TELLING ME.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, OPIE?

TELL MR. CRAWFORD, THEN PAY HIM BACK.

I'VE GOT $70 SAVED.

TELL HIM, HUH?

THAT DOESN'T SOUND TOO SMART TO ME.

HE'LL FIRE YOU.

LET ME THINK.

NOW, LISTEN, ARNOLD...

SHH! I'M WORKING ON SOMETHING.

ARNOLD.

IT'S JUST A PICKLE.

I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING.

WHAT?

THE CHANCES ARE MR. CRAWFORD ISN'T GOING TO NOTICE

THAT BOTTLE OF PERFUME MISSING

UNTIL SOMEBODY COMES IN ASKING FOR IT.

YEAH, MAYBE.

YOU BUY ANOTHER BOTTLE JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU BROKE.

PUT IT ON THE SHELF BEFORE HE FINDS OUT.

IT DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

LOOK, IT'LL STILL COST YOU $64.

YOU WON'T BE CHEATING HIM.

YEAH, BUT...WHERE'LL WE FIND ANOTHER BIG BOTTLE LIKE THAT IN MAYBERRY?

YOU HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW,

BUT MY FATHER'S TAKING ME INTO MT. PILOT IN THE AFTERNOON.

I COULD BUY ONE FOR YOU THERE.

THANKS, BUT I THINK

I BETTER JUST TELL MR. CRAWFORD RIGHT OFF.

AT LEAST THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID

AND DECIDE TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.

OKAY.

I WON'T TELL MR. CRAWFORD TILL I DECIDE.

YOU OUGHT TO MAKE YOURSELF A SODA.

YOU'LL FEEL BETTER.

WELL, I GUESS THAT TAKES CARE OF THE REPORTS.

YEAH, I THINK WE'VE GOT EACH YEAR COVERED PRETTY THOROUGHLY.

MM-HMM.

SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO GO BOWLING?

NO, NO.

GOOB AND I THOUGHT WE'D GO OVER TO MT. PILOT

AND HANG AROUND, YOU KNOW.

MMM.

OH, HERE COMES OPE.

YEAH.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, OPE?

NOT MUCH.

HI, THERE. HI.

WELL, YOU LOOK A LITTLE BUSHED.

TOUGH DAY.

MMM. MMM.

WELL...

HEY, HEY, HEY, OPE...

THAT MALTED YOU MADE FOR ME AT LUNCH --

PAR EXCELLENCE.

OH, GOOD.

WELL...

BOY, HE WAS REALLY RUNNING THAT STORE

WHEN I WAS OVER THERE THIS AFTERNOON.

REMINDS ME OF MY FIRST JOB.

MAYBERRY TRANSFER COMPANY, DRIVING A TRUCK.

YOU TOLD ME.

OH, YEAH. SO I DID.

Andy: YOU KNOW, HOWARD, I RECOMMENDED OPIE FOR THIS JOB

AND I'M GLAD I DID.

Howard: OH, YOU DID?

YEAH. IT'S WORKING OUT SWELL.

HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB.

MR. CRAWFORD TRUSTS HIM.

WELL, THAT MAKES ME PROUD.

WELL, HE'S A FINE BOY, ANDY.

YEAH.

SOMETIMES A FATHER CAN'T TELL ABOUT A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY.

I'M GLAD I'VE GOT A RESPONSIBLE ONE.

YOU SURE HAVE.

HE CAME THROUGH, DIDN'T HE?

WELL, YOU HAD FAITH IN HIM.

YEAH. BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR HIM.

BUSINESS EXPERIENCE.

TEACH HIM WHAT MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

YEAH.

HELLO

GET ME THAT BOTTLE OF PERFUME

WHEN YOU GO INTO MT. PILOT TOMORROW.

YEAH. IT'S CALLED BLUE MOONLIGHT.

FOUR OUNCES.

YEAH. I'LL GIVE YOU THE MONEY IN THE MORNING BEFORE YOU GO.

RIGHT. RIGHT.

AND WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE COMING BACK?

OKAY.

THANKS ARNOLD. BYE.

YOU DON'T HAVE NO CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES, DO YOU, OPE?

NO, SORRY. THAT'S OKAY.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT TO BE

THE TOP SUNDAE MAKER IN TOWN.

THANKS.

ANYTHING WRONG, OPE?

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE WAITING FOR SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING.

NO, NOTHING WRONG.

A PICKLE ON A SUNDAE?

OH...I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING NEW.

NO, JUST A MISTAKE.

I STILL MIGHT TRY IT SOMETIME, THOUGH.

LET'S KEEP IT IN MIND.

YEAH, OKAY.

HEY, OPE...

I'VE GOT IT.

UH, NO... WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

I HAD TO GO TO ABOUT THREE DRUGSTORES IN MT. PILOT.

THEN WHEN I FOUND A PLACE THAT HAD IT,

THEY STARTED KIDDING ME --

YOU KNOW, A 14-YEAR-OLD KID

BUYING A $64 BOTTLE OF BLUE MOONLIGHT.

YEAH.

I TOLD THEM I HAD

A VERY HIGH-CLASS GIRLFRIEND.

THANKS FOR DOING THIS FOR ME.

THAT'S OKAY, OPE.

HI, OPE.

HI, PA.

MR. CRAWFORD.

OH, HI, ANDY. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

WELL, ONE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES --

I BELIEVE IT'S THAT YOUNG MAN THERE BY THE COUNTER --

SHOWED ME A BOTTLE OF PERFUME WHEN I WAS IN HERE YESTERDAY.

A BOTTLE OF PERFUME, HUH?

YEP.

LET'S SEE. WHICH ONE DID HE SHOW YOU?

THAT FOUR-OUNCE BOTTLE OF BLUE MOONLIGHT THERE.

I FOUND OUT THAT'S ONE OF HELEN'S FAVORITES

SO I BELIEVE I'LL JUST TAKE THAT.

THIS ONE, HUH?

YEAH. $64 IS A LITTLE RICH FOR ME,

BUT MIGHT AS WELL BE A SPORT ONCE IN A WHILE.

WELL, I CAN ORDER THIS IN FOR YOU, ANDY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT ONE?

WELL, IT'S JUST A DISPLAY BOTTLE.

THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE BUT COLORED WATER.

Andy: SURE LOOKS LIKE PERFUME.

WELL...

MMM.

THAT'S THE SWEETEST SMELLING COLORED WATER I EVER SMELLED.

YEAH?

YEAH.

YEAH...SAY, THAT'S GENUINE BLUE MOONLIGHT.

THAT'S DEFINITELY BLUE MOONLIGHT.

WELL, LIKE I SAID, I'LL TAKE IT.

I SUPPOSE YOU WANT IT GIFT WRAPPED.

OH, YEAH.

WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, ANDY,

THAT'LL TAKE SOME TIME.

WHY DON'T I JUST PUT IT ON YOUR BILL,

AND I'LL HAVE IT GIFT WRAPPED REAL NICE

AND THEN SEND IT ON OVER TO THE COURTHOUSE?

PERFECT.

OKAY.

SEE YOU, OPE.

Opie: BYE.

OPIE...

YES, SIR?

THIS BOTTLE USED TO CONTAIN COLORED WATER.

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

YES, SIR.

I BROKE THE OTHER BOTTLE,

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS PERFUME, SO I REPLACED IT.

YOU BROKE IT, HUH?

YES, SIR.

WELL, YOU MUST HAVE PUT OUT $64 FOR THIS.

YES, SIR.

I'LL PAY YOU BACK.

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME TO ME AND TELL ME

THAT YOU'D BROKEN IT, OPIE?

WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE THING TO DO,

NOW, WOULDN'T IT?

JUST DROPPED IT, HUH?

I'LL LEAVE WHENEVER YOU WANT ME TO.

MAYBE I'M NOT AS RESPONSIBLE AS MY PA SAYS I AM.

YOUR PA?

I'LL CLEAN UP THE FOUNTAIN.

HEY, OPIE...

WELL, I GUESS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF US.

GET A MOP AND CLEAN THAT UP, WILL YOU?

YES, SIR.

MR. CRAWFORD?

YES?

NOTHING.

HEY, ANDY.

HI, GOOB.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

A LITTLE INDIGESTION, I THINK.

WELL, DID YOU EAT SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T AGREE WITH YOU?

NOT REALLY.

I HAD OPIE MAKE ME A STRAWBERRY SUNDAE

WITH A PICKLE ON IT INSTEAD OF A CHERRY.

WELL, HE GAVE ME THE IDEA THE OTHER DAY,

SO TODAY I TOLD HIM I'D LIKE TO TRY IT.

A PICKLE?

YEAH.

ALTHOUGH HE SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE,

I THINK HE WAS THINKING AHEAD.

YOU KNOW -- CHANGES, NEW TASTE SENSATIONS.

PICKLE ON A STRAWBERRY SUNDAE?

YEAH, ANDY.

LOOK, SOONER OR LATER,

SOMETHING'S BOUND TO TAKE THE PLACE OF CHERRIES.

MAYBE PICKLES AIN'T THE ANSWER.

MAYBE IT'LL BE OLIVES.

BUT AT LEAST LET THE YOUNGER GENERATION HAVE THEIR SAY.
