Don Knotts: Barney Fife

Quotes 

• Ellie Walker : How dare you think I'd wanna marry you? Who do you think you are? Just because I accepted what I thought was a friendly, neighborly invitation... And for your information, Mr. Sheriff, I've given dozens of children free ice cream cones - even if they weren't the children of such gorgeous, charming, desirable catches as yourself! Well, let me tell you something, you big, brave hero - I wouldn't go to the dance with you if you were the last man on Earth, let alone marry you! Nor do I need your generous help in getting an escort. And just to prove it to you, I'm going to go with the first single, unattached man who comes through that door!

  Deputy Barney Fife : [entering]  Hi.

  Ellie Walker : YOU!

  Deputy Barney Fife : Me?

  Ellie Walker : Yes. Are you taking anyone to the church dance Saturday?

  Deputy Barney Fife : No.

  Ellie Walker : In that case, I accept your invitation! Thank You!

  [Ellie storms off] 

  Deputy Barney Fife : [to Andy]  I just come in here for some foot powder.
