Quotes 

  • Sheriff Andy Taylor : Anybody here know why these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace. I now pronounce you man...

    Opie Taylor : I know why they shouldn't be married.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Opie, what're you tryin' to do?

    Opie Taylor : I'm speakin' now so's I won't have to forever hold my peace.

    Deputy Barney Fife : You're not supposed to speak.

    Opie Taylor : Then why did he ask?

  • Opie Taylor : Can I run away from home?

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Uh... you... you want to run away from home? Well, now, uh, if-if-if that's what you got on your mind, well, you-you goin' about it all wrong.

    Opie Taylor : I am?

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Oh, yeah. You ain't supposed to ask your pa.

    Opie Taylor : But you always said I should never go anyplace far without gettin' your permission.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well, yeah, I know I did say that, but, uh, see-see, running away from home is a little special. See, what you do in a case like that is first you write a note SAYIN' that you're runnin' away, and then you do it.

    Opie Taylor : You mean to tell me that's all there is to it?

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : That's all.

    Opie Taylor : But I don't know how to write.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : That does make a problem.

  • Sheriff Andy Taylor : Now Opie, I'm your Pa and I'm tellin' you to hush up.

    Opie Taylor : Well you told me I could speak or forever hold my peace.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well now I'm tellin' you if you don't hush up, you'll be forever holdin' the seat of your britches.

  • Sheriff Andy Taylor : [to Opie]  And to think I's glad when you learned to talk.

  • Opie Taylor : I want you to stay!

    Aunt Bee Taylor : You do?

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : You mean it, Opie?

    Opie Taylor : Sure!

    Aunt Bee Taylor : Well, what changed your mind?

    Opie Taylor : Well, if she goes, what'll happen to her? She doesn't know how to do anything - play ball, catch fish, or hunt frogs. She'll be helpless.

  • Deputy Barney Fife : Aw, shucks, Andy. I want to do good on this job. Even if it's just deliverin' messages, I wanna do it right.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well, I know you do, and-and-and I admire your attitude.

    Deputy Barney Fife : You see, Andy, I want the folks in this town to realize that you picked me to be your deputy because you, well, you looked over all the candidates for the job, and-and you judged their qualifications and their character and their ability, and you come to the fair, the just, and the honest conclusion that I was the best-suited for the job. An... and I wanna thank you, Cousin Andy.

    Sheriff Andy Taylor : You're welcome, Cousin Barney.

  • Sheriff Andy Taylor : [after Opie makes an insulting comment about newly-arrived Aunt Bee's fried chicken, and Aunt Bee leaves the room]  And to think I was glad when you learned to talk.
