- Opie Taylor: You a desperate hunter, Miss Ellie?
- Ellie Walker: Not really.
- Opie Taylor: 'Cause I know where you can get yourself a possum.
- 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.
- Fred Walker: You don't have to give up bein' sheriff to do a little buzz-away every once in a while.
- Sheriff Andy Taylor: Oh, Aunt Bee, what they got in mind for me is as clear as the nose on a warthog's face.
- Pete Johnson: Howdy. I am, uh... I'm Pete Johnson.
- Ellie Walker: I'm Ellie Walker. I'm pleased to meet you.
- Pete Johnson: I know.
