Quotes

Barney Fife: Nip it in the bud!
Andy Taylor: Floyd. Floyd Lawson: What’s the matter? Andy Taylor: My sideburns. Floyd Lawson: Your sideburns – what’s the matter with your sideburns? Andy Taylor: Why, they’re both even. Floyd Lawson: Well, I’ll be dogged. How’d that happen? Andy Taylor: I declare, Floyd, I believe you’re getting the hang of it. And looka there – they’re the right length and everything.
