"Well today Janelle, I Would like to talk about a service for those unfortunate Laddies + Lassies who don't know whether they want to be Laddies or Lassies."

"Just look for the pair of legs with the Question Mark in between them."

"I started to think that there really ought to be dumps around the world with rescue gear standing by, so that when a disaster happened, all these items of rescue equipment could be rushed to the disaster zone and used to help to get people out of trouble ... I was thinking, 'Rescue, yes, rescue, but how to make it science fiction? What about an international rescue organisation?"

"Since we always tried to minimise walking, we'd show the puppets taking one step only, then promptly cut. Through interspersing the programmes with "meanwhile" scenes – that is, showing what else was going on in the story at the same time – we would then cut back to the puppet who was now already in his craft."

"Lew watched ["Trapped in the Sky"] and at the end he jumped up shouting, 'Fantastic, absolutely fantastic! This isn't a television series – this is a feature film! You've got to make this as an hour!' ... I'm glad we did it, because it made the series much bigger and much more important. But it was still a very, very difficult job."

"Barney: Yeah; I guess you're right. I was just trying to show you how much you could trust me."

"Hal Smith as Otis Campbell"

"Frances Bavier as Aunt Bee"

"Elinor Donahue as Ellie Walker"

"Don Knotts as Barney Fife"

"Ronny Howard as Opie Taylor"

"Andy Griffith as Andy Taylor"

"Maude: "You're a treasure!" (laughs)"

"Barney: "You're beginning to get to me.""

"Maude (escaped convict): "What made you change your mind?""

"Barney: "Let's you and me dance.""

"Clarabelle: Well, we will. We'll wait outside for him."

"Jennifer: But we've got to tell the Sheriff what we know."

"Clarabelle: Jennifer, you have got to control yourself!"

"Jennifer: I'm sorry, Clarabelle; I keep forgetting. It's just that the odor of witch hazel atones me."

"Clarabelle: Jennifer! You will be the death of me yet! How many times must I tell you? A lady never goes into a barber shop!"

"Jennifer Morrison: Let's go in!"

"Clarabelle Morrison: Oh, look; there's the Sheriff. Good."

"[The people laugh again as Aunt Bee and Opie exit the courthouse.]"

"Aunt Bee: Oh, don't joke, honey! He's liable to send you up to state prison!"

"Opie: Are you going to fingerprint me, Barney?"

"Aunt Bee: Oh, overlook, nothing! He was too busy yelling, "There will be no favoritism in Barney Fife's administration!""

"Andy: Well, now, Barney, you could have overlooked it, seeing as how the women always do congregate in front of the courthouse down here, and seeing as how it was Aunt Bee..."

"[The people laugh.]"

"Barney: I asked them to move along, but Aunt Bee kept right on talking! So I asked her again, and she said, "Stop interrupting!" Then another lady opened her umbrella; now that's inciting a riot!"

"Andy: Well..."

"Barney: Now that's unlawful assemblage in my book!"

"Aunt Bee: I was standing in front of the courthouse chatting with a group of ladies."

"Otis: Thanks, Andy."

"Andy: I'm afraid I'm going to have to dismiss him, Barney. You can go, Otis."

"Otis: I can't tell! I wasn't wearing my glasses!"

"Andy: Well, were you drunk when Deputy Fife arrested you?"

"Otis: Well, now; maybe I didn't see that there line because I wasn't wearing my specs. Drunk or sober, I can't tell nothin' much without my glasses."

"Barney: Just about! [chuckles]"

"Andy: What'd you do? Drop a net over the whole town?"

"Mayor Pike: Oh, it's an outrage, Sheriff! That's what it is! An outrage!"

"Andy: I know you did, and I appreciate that, but maybe you tried just a bit too hard."

"Andy: Listen to me, Barney. Listen to me just a minute. Now it's true you had them all dead to rights by the book. But now if you went strictly by the book, why I don't reckon we'd have anything in this country but about 180 million jailbirds."
