Quotes 

• Otis Campbell : Drunk or sober, I can't tell very much without my glasses.

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

  Otis Campbell : I can't tell. I wasn't wearin' my glasses.

• Andy Taylor : I tell you the truth, I'm surprised you didn't get to me, too.

  Barney Fife : Uh, well, if you want to get technical about it...

  Andy Taylor : Huh?

  Barney Fife : Well, you could be reprimanded for being out of uniform. I mean, no tie and collar open, pants unpressed, not wearin' a revolver and gun belt, sleeves rolled up, your shoes...

  [Andy holds up a hand for silence then marches himself off to his own jail cell] 

• Andy Taylor : [Andy has just entered the courthouse, only to be greeted by the shouts and protests of the incarcerated civilians of Mayberry]  Well, no wonder it's quiet in town. The whole population is in here!

• Barney Fife : Well, he *did* willfully, with malice aforethought, throw a checkerboard full of checkers! Could've blinded somebody!

  Andy Taylor : Well, now, seein' as how that's been going on between Chester and ol' Jud here for around twenty years, that's more a part *of* the peace than it is disturbin' the peace. Case dismissed, Jud. You can go on home.

  Jud Fletcher : Thank ya, Andy. And thank you too, Barney.

  Barney Fife : What for?

  Jud Fletcher : Well, considering the kind of crime I done, for not tryin' to get me hung!

• Hilda Mae : It isn't right, Sheriff. Folks are really so fond of him.

  Andy Taylor : Yeah, that's right. They are.

  Hilda Mae : Sure. Everybody likes Barney. That's what makes it so bad. They don't realize they're hurtin' him. It's just a joke to them.

  Andy Taylor : [getting an idea]  Uh-huh. Well, now, that's probably because they've never thought about it quite that way before.

• Andy Taylor : You don't expect me to hold onto someone who's the butt of everyone's jokes, do you?
