• Sheriff Andy Taylor : [Bobby Fleet and his band members, arrested off screen, now stand at Andy's desk]  Guilty as charged. That'll be twenty dollars or 24 hours in jail.

  Bobby Fleet : [quickly spoken, in frustration]  Twenty fish for a crummy parking rap?

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well, we try to keep it low for the first offense.

  Bobby Fleet : Yeah? And how much of the twenty do you stick in your own kick?

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Ohh, I wish you hadn't a-said that. I mean, I don't mind an insult personally but, why, you've offended the dignity of my robes. Now, let's see. What is our price for robe dignity offendin'? Why, that's $50!

  Bobby Fleet : [quickly spoken, in frustration]  $50?

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Yeah. Plus the twenty, that's seventy altogether.

  Bobby Fleet : Aw, come on, now! Now, look, Sheriff! There's no reason to get hot under the collar over this. I mean, uh, you've got your job to do and I've got mine. Now, uhh... Oh, that reminds me. We're gonna be playin' at the capitol over the weekend. Now, how would you and your fine deputy here like to come and see us, huh? I'll see that you have a big time. Oh, you'll be my guests, of course.

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Ohhh. Now, you have *really* done it!

  Bobby Fleet : [spoken very quickly, in exasperation]  What? What? What? What? What?

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well, you just tried to bribe me, is all. That's the worst thing anybody can do. I hate to tell you what the fine is on that.

  Bobby Fleet : Never mind! I don't care what the fine is! I'm not gonna pay it!

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Oh, you mean you'll take the 24 hours?

  Bobby Fleet : That's just what I mean! No hick Sheriff is gonna bleed me! We'll all stay overnight!

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Well, that's the way it'll be, then.

  [Andy bangs his gavel, closing the case] 

  Sheriff Andy Taylor : Deputy, lock up the prisoners.

  Deputy Barney Fife : Glad to! All right, let's move it along! Come on! On the double, there! Come on! Let's look sharp! Look sharp! Come on, get in there! And suck in that gut!

• Opie Taylor : [entering the courthouse]  Hi. You seen my pa? He's the Sheriff.

  Bobby Fleet : You mean he's human enough to have kids?

  Opie Taylor : Huh?

  Bobby Fleet : Never mind. He stepped out for a minute.

  Opie Taylor : Oh.

  Opie Taylor : [looking at all the fellas]  Pa musta rounded up a gang. You look like from the city. Are you a criminal?

  Bobby Fleet : According to your pa, I am.

  Opie Taylor : Pa's never wrong. What crime did you do, criminal?

  Bobby Fleet : I didn't do anything! Your old man framed the whole thing, the hick troublemaker!

  [Offended at this, Opie kicks Bobby in the shin]
