Quotes

add »
Andy: What I mean, Barn is I'm afraid I might be bothering you. I've been making a lot of racket out here folding letters and licking stamps and everything.
Barney: It don't bother me.
Andy: I've tried to keep the racket down, but I'm just a noisy folder and that's all there is to it. (edit)
Andy: Hey Barn! How much longer you gonna do that?
Barney: Why, is there somewhere you want me to go?
Andy: Yeah.
Barney: Where?
Andy: Anywhere. (edit)
Barney Fife: I'm surprised at you, Andy. They want people who have had musical training. Why, suppose they ask Rafe to do something he don't know? Rafe, if they asked you to sing a cappella, could you do it?

Rafe Hollister: No.

Andy Taylor: Hey, Barn, what if they was to ask you if you could sing a cappella, what would *you* do?

Barney Fife: Why, I'd do it!
[snapping fingers in rhythm]

Barney Fife: "A cappella, a cappella"... Well, I don't remember all the words. (edit)
