(WHISTLING)

Hi.

Oh, hello, Andy.

Boiled beef.

I know. I know.
It's not
one of your favorites.

But, Mr. Bronson
had a special on it.

Well, I'll eat it
with the thought in mind

we're putting money in the bank.

Opie home?

Yes, he is.

And you're going to be
very proud of him.

Why?

He and three
of his friends came home

and they're
cleaning out the garage.

How many times
did you have to
ask him? Fifteen?

I never even
mentioned it.
I'll bet.

No, did it all on their own.

I think Opie wanted
to surprise us.

So, I left them alone.

Well, there's got to be
an angle somewhere.

Oh, Andy.

No, he's buttering us up
for something.

Oh, why do you have to be
so skeptical?

No 13-year old boy
will do hard labor
on a Saturday afternoon,

unless he's buttering up
his folks.

It's an unwritten law.

Come on, I'll show you.

(BIRDS TWITTERING)

Well,

looks like
they are doing the job.

Well, if you just
had a little faith

in your fellow human
beings... Well...

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYING)

(BAND STOPS PLAYING)

Hi.
Hi.

I'm playing with this group.

I gather.

This is Clifford Johnson.

He's in high school.

No kidding.

And this is
Wilson Brown
and Jesse Clayton.

Hi.
Hi.

I believe I know
Wilson and Jesse.

And this is my Aunt Bee.

Hi.
Hi.

When did all this happen?

Just today.
Their number three
guitar player

is failing in three subjects

and his folks
won't let him
play anymore.

So I'm stepping in.

And you see,
he had the garage
where we used to practice.

Oh, I see.

Did you hear us play?

Uh, yeah, I believe
you could say that.

How did it sound?

Fine.

Do you have to play so loud?

Well, Aunt Bee,
we're all amplified.

This is my regular guitar.

Emmett hooked up
an old amplifier to it.

Well, it seems
Emmett might have
consulted you first, Andy.

Aunt Bee, you have to be
amplified these days.

Sure. Otherwise,
we wouldn't get
any gigs.

What?

Gigs.

Dates, you know,
play for parties...

Oh. Oh, yes.

Well, we won't, uh,
keep you any longer.

I'll see you fellas.

BOY: All right, bye.

And, Opie, you watch
that amplifier.

All the music in the world

isn't worth getting
electrocuted for.

I'll be careful.

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYING)

Is it supposed
to sound like that?

Don't ask me.

You know,

I hope Opie doesn't devote
too much time to this.

Why, forming
their own group
and practicing,

I think that's great.

Yes, but they seem
so serious about it.

Supposing Opie decided
to be a musician?

Did you ever think of that?

Well...

Well, what would happen
to the idea

of his becoming
a Supreme Court judge?

Well, he could still be
the first Supreme Court judge

that knows how to swing.

You know, somehow
I don't feel inclined

to apologize
for the boiled beef anymore.

Feel like goin' out
and shootin' some crows?

I'd like to, Goober,
but Opie called me.

He's bringin' over
his guitar and amplifier.

Needs an adjustment.

Yeah, I heard
about that group
them kids have made up.

Yeah, and they're workin'
real hard at it, too.

Well, no reason
you couldn't fix tomorrow
and shoot crows today.

Goober, I happen to be
a devotee of music.

I like to encourage it.

Are you sayin'
I don't like music?

I didn't say that.
Well, you better not.

You may like music
as much as I do.

Watch your step.
Oh, yeah?

Did you ever hear
the Raleigh Philharmonic?

I've been busy.
There's great music.

But it ain't the only kind.

This new stuff
with the guitars and
the tambourines, it's...

It's plaintive.

(SCOFFING) You think
I didn't know that?

Hi, Emmett.
Hi, Goober.

Hey, Ope.
Hi.

I brought in the whole thing.

I think it's just a connection.

You're probably right, Opie.

I know you're gettin'
plenty of volume.

I've heard complaints
from neighbors
eight houses away.

We're gettin' volume, all right.

Mrs. Perkins
isn't even speaking
to Aunt Bee anymore.

Well, just let me
run over the circuits...

I'll run over the circuits.

So, you're gonna be
a real musician, huh, Ope?

Well, I don't know.

When you get to be like
one of them Beagles,

you still gonna speak to me?

Beatles, Goob.

Well, just remember,

when you got
all your clothes
monogrammed

and a limousine
with a bathtub in it,

don't forget
us simple folks
here in Mayberry.

Gee, Goob, I don't mean
to be disrespectful
or anything,

but I never made fun
of your career
at the gas station.

I just wish
you wouldn't joke
about mine.

You were right, Opie.

Just a simple connection
right here.

It's good as new.

Gee, thanks.

I'll pay you back
as soon as we get
our first gig.

Oh, forget it.

Let this be
my contribution
to the world of music.

Gee, thanks.

See you, Goober.

Wonderful, isn't it?

A kid like that
going off into
the world of music.

Kind of gets you, don't it?

Yeah. How about
shootin' some crows?

(SIGHS)

Thank you, Opie.

Did you guys practice today?

Yeah, we're gettin' real sharp.

Good. Any sign
of a job?

Nah, but we haven't
been pushin' that
up until yesterday.

Now we think we're ready.

You got a whole repertoire, huh?

Yeah, we got some great charts.

Songs.

Oh.

There's one thing
we're still missing.

A name for the group.

Oh. How about, um...

How about "The Young Swingers"?

Well, um... We'll come
up with something.

Can you think of anything?

(RINGING)

I'll get it.

Hello.

Hello, Mrs. Roach.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

This Saturday?

Yes, ma'am, we're available.

7:00?

Great!

Thank you very much,
Mrs. Roach.

We got a gig.
You have?

Brenda Roach's mother
wants us to play

at Brenda's birthday party
Saturday night.

Five dollars a man.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Paw.
I gotta run over
and tell Clifford.

But, Opie... Well,
just look at that.

He's left practically
his whole dinner.

Well, it's his
first gig, Aunt Bee.

I know, but musicians
have to keep up
their strength

as well as anybody else.

Oh, stop worrying.

The boys did something
completely on their own

and I think it's great.

I suppose
you'll think it's great

when he gets sick
from lack of
proper nutrition.

Oh, Aunt Bee.

Up all hours of the night.

Who knows how long
those gig things last?

Opie's a teenager now.

Alongside of those amplifiers?

I know what a loud
radio does to me.

Opie isn't that... that delicate.

You've certainly grown
very hard.

Oh, I know
just how you feel, Bee.

Then I'm not crazy?

I think I've told you
about my brother
many times?

Yes.

Well, as children
we took piano lessons
for years.

However, I kept music
in its proper perspective.

Claude, on the other hand,
decided to make music
his life.

Yes, I know.

Played with small orchestras,

traveling all around.

No, roots,
no place to call his home.

The last time I heard,
and that goes back 10 years,

he was playing
with a gentleman called
Hippy Harrison.

Hippy Harrison?

We certainly have
every reason to suspect

that he is not living
a well-rounded life.

Well, hardly.

Now, all I'm saying

is that it's fine for Opie
to be pursuing his music

as long as he keeps it
in the proper perspective.

Hi, Miss Edwards.

Oh, hello, Opie.
Sit down.
Opie.

I can't, Aunt Bee.
I got to run.

We're dressin'
over at Clifford's

and then we're goin' to the gig.

Yes, well, what about supper?

I'll grab something
at the party.

You see what I mean?

Just like Claude.

What does Andy say?

Andy? He's sticking his head
in the sand like an ostrich.

He hears no evil,
speaks no evil
and sees no evil.

Oh, Bee, if there's anything
at all I can do to help you...

Oh, Clara, you'd be
the first person I'd run to.

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYING)

(KIDS CHATTERING)

Opie, you did great.

Consider yourself
a regular member
of the group.

Oh, boy!

Wherever we play.
Neat.

Uh, look, Ope,
now that you're in the group,

I'd better tell you
a few things
about your image.

Oh?

First of all,
you talk too much
like a kid.

I didn't mean to, Clifford.

That "Oh, boy!" stuff
and "neat," forget that.

You got to talk "groovy,"
"cool."

Well, I don't know
too many of those words.

Uh, just listen
to the rest of us, man.

You're a professional
musician now.

Yeah.

You got to remember,
you're not a kid anymore.

You got to make the scene.

I feel kind of
different already.

Groovy.

I think I'll split over there
and get some of those
cool-looking potato chips.

Groovy.

Gee, Ope, you guys
sure play good.

Glad you dug us, Arnold.

Oh, Opie.

You were just wonderful.

Groovy.

I had no idea
you played so well.

Cool.

I was really impressed.

Groovy.

To think that I know
a real rock 'n' roll
musician.

Personally.

Cool.

See you, Phoebe.

Well, Ope,
let's get ready
for the next set.

I was just makin' the scene.

(SIGHS)

Andy, why don't
you go to bed
and get some sleep?

I'll wait up for Opie.

No. I'm staying right here
till he comes home.

You said when you
called the party

that he'd left a full hour ago?

Yes, and that makes it
two hours later

than he's ever been
out in his life.

Hi, Paw.
Hi, Aunt Bee.

Where have you been?

At the gig, Paw.

I called there
over an hour ago
and you were gone.

We got another gig
and we all went over
to Clifford's house

to decide what we're gonna play.

Did it ever occur to you

that we might
be worried about
where you were?

Well, Paw, I'm not
a little kid anymore.

Even Clifford says so.

Clifford?
That's right.

I see.

You can probably tell
how I'm a little older

by the way I'm not arguing
or anything.

Opie, the fact remains
that you did come in late.

Aunt Bee, late for a kid
and late for an older person

comes at two different times.

Opie!

Go to bed.

Okay.

He leaves here
at 5:00 a kid

and comes back seven hours later

and he's grown-up.

I don't understand that.

I hate making excuses
to the reverend

for Opie not being in church.

Did he say something?

No. He's very subtle
about these things.

He just said it was nice
to see most of us.

(DOOR CLOSING)

Hi, Aunt Bee, hi, Paw.

Sorry about church.

Well, anybody that stayed up

as late as you did last night,

it's to be expected.

Opie, you better
start getting dressed.

You know today's
Mrs. Pritchard's
backyard brunch.

I can't go.

You can't go?

We all got to
go down and hang around
the drugstore.

You know,
keep up our image
with the kids.

Why do you have to
keep up an image?

Well, you just don't
understand, Paw.

I gotta call Clifford.

Hmm.

Andy, well, as you
probably know,

Clara is very familiar
with the whole
field of music.

Hmm.

You know, she plays
the piano herself,

she has a brother
who's a musician,

she's even a member of
the album-of-the-month club.

So?

Well, she has a brother
who's always been
a sore spot with her.

Apparently, he didn't know
how to keep music in
its proper perspective.

Just like Opie?

Exactly. And I thought
if Clara spoke...

No.

I'll handle it in my own way.

Well, it's just a suggestion.

Say, I might be
a little late
for dinner, too.

We got to go over
some new charts.

Don't you have
a history test
tomorrow?

I'll study
when I get home.
There's no problem.

It's that boy Clifford,
you know.

No.

He might have sparked it,
but Opie's got
a mind of his own.

He should know better.

Well, he doesn't seem to.

And I think you
should discipline him.

I don't think
that's the way
to handle it, either.

He'd just think
I was keeping him

from doing something
that was important
to him.

Remember I said
he's a teenager now?

I'll just let him go

till he gets in
just enough trouble

and then he'll
find out something.

Why, I never heard
of such a thing!

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC
PLAYING ON RADIO)

You studying?

Yeah, Paw!

Don't you think
that's a little noisy?

Well, it's a funny thing
about music, Paw.

It helps you study!

I hadn't heard that.

Yeah! The beat keeps you
from gettin' tired!

I see.

You can tell
I'm not tired at all.

Oh, sure.
I can tell that.

My mind's just movin'
over this history like crazy!

We'll see how well it moved

when you get your grade
on that test tomorrow.

I'll be cool.

I'll try and do better
next time, Paw.

You can't help
but do better next time.

An "F" in history!

That... That's hittin'
rock-bottom.

You used to get good grades!

Well, I just got
a little hung up
this time.

Hung up?

You're not gonna be
prepared for college.

I said I'd try
and do better, Paw.

Then, this is yours?

Yeah. It's a new
turtleneck sweater.

We got another gig comin' up

and we wanted to change threads.

I see.
Why'd you have it
sent COD?

Well, when I bought it,
I didn't have any money,

but I thought I'd
have some when it came.

I'll pay you back, Paw.

Well, what happened
to the five dollars
you earned on Saturday?

You know how it is
in the music business, Paw.

You've been a musician four days

and you're already in debt.

Well, gee, Paw.
Guitar strings, music,
having cards printed up,

that all costs money.

And you have to have that stuff!

You always told me,
if I was gonna
do something

I should do it right,
go all out.

You said that a lot,
now, didn't you, Paw?

Well, yeah...

Well, that's just
what I'm doing, isn't it?

Uh, yeah...

See you, Paw.

Oh, hello, Bee.

Oh, hello, Clara.

Why, anything wrong, Bee?

Well, still Opie.

F's in all of his schoolwork.

Oh, no.

Squandering his money,
and the other night,
he came in at midnight.

Well, now,
my offer still stands, Bee.

I'll be very happy
to talk to him.

Well, I don't know, Clara.

Well, now, very often,
coming from an outsider,

it can be more effective.

Yes... Yes!

You know, I want you to do it.

I think he's home now.

Now, I have the rest of
the shopping to do

and I'll take my time

and that'll give you
a couple of hours
alone with him.

I'll go right over.

Oh, Clara, you are
a good friend.

(DOORBELL BUZZES)

Oh, hi, Miss Edwards.

Hello, Opie.

We were just
going over some music

before we start practicing.

Oh.

This is Clifford,
Wilson and Jesse.

Hello, boys.

BOYS: Hi.

Opie, I did want
to have a little chat
with you,

but maybe it's just as well

that the other boys
are here, too.

Oh.

It's about the overemphasis

you boys are putting
on your music.

Uh, well, we got to
practice now.

We have some gigs.
Opie?

Wait a minute, guys.

Thank you.

Now, through my brother,

I do have some knowledge
of the music business

and there are
many things that
have to be considered...

(HORN HONKS)

(GIGGLING NERVOUSLY)

Oh! Uh...
Hello, Andy!
Hi!

You're back
from Mt. Pilot early.

Yeah! I see you've
been to the store!

Uh, yes...

Andy, I'd like to
discuss with you
a decision I made.

What's that?

I asked Clara to have
a talk with Opie.

Is she over there now?

I think, maybe.

Get in the car.

But you seem to forget
Clara's experience
with her brother.

She knows every pitfall.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

(ROCK 'N' ROLL MUSIC PLAYING
WITH PIANO)

Just one more chorus!

Hi, Paw.

Clara, would you
like to come
in the kitchen with me

and have a cup of coffee?

In one second, Bee.

I just want
to check this arrangement

with our lead guitar.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Andy.

I didn't mean to interfere.

(SIGHING)
I knew she'd only
make matters worse.

Oh, I had no idea...

She goes right over
to the enemy.

Now, that's gonna
make it just that much
more difficult

for me to make
my point with Opie.

Hey, Paw, guess what?

I don't have to guess.

Miss Edwards is gonna be
our manager!

What?

She knows a lot about
the music business.

She straightened us out
on a lot of things.

Now I know what you
were drivin' at, Paw.

You do?

Yeah! And you know
what else?

She's gonna be our treasurer

and make sure we save our money!

And we're only gonna practice

when it doesn't
interfere with homework!

Well... Good. Good.

Good, Ope, good.

I gotta get back out there.

What do you know?

It's wonderful!

Well?
What do you think?

I think it's wonderful!

Clara, sometimes
a... a parent can't see
what he should do

and sometimes it takes
a person from the outside
to show him.

And I'd like to thank you.

Groovy.

Mmm-hmm.

You know,
Miss Edwards really knows
how to play the piano.

Yeah. She was really
beatin' it out
with you guys, wasn't she?

Yeah.

It's funny, I didn't think
she could play
anything like that.

When I was takin'
piano lessons from her,

the only thing
I ever heard her play was

The Dance of The Little Bunnies.

Oh, yeah, well,
that's probably
the other side of her.

I think
I got the right angle
on music now, Paw.

Oh, music's fine.
I'm all for it.

Music of all kinds,
orchestras, groups,

it can mean
a lot of pleasure
to a lot of people.

Yeah.

As long as it doesn't
interfere, you know,
with other things.

I know.

You know, get in the way.

It was just a phase
I was goin' through.
Oh.

(LAUGHS)
Good.
