(WHISTLING)

Hmm.

Hey.

Big engine, huh?

Boy, it sure is.

You say it belongs to
Emmett's brother-in-law, huh?

Yeah. Emmett dropped it off
for me to grease and oil.

Hmm.

Bet this baby's got power.

340 horse.

340? Wow!

(IMITATING ENGINE)

Boy, that's a lot of power.

You can say that again.

Hi, fellas.

Oh, hi, Emmett.
Hey, Emmett.

Say, you got this thing
finished, Goober?

Yeah, it's all done.

Your brother-in-law's, huh?
Yeah.

Say, my wife told me
to ask you fellas

to come over
to the house tonight
if you ain't doing anything.

Oh, well, uh, fine.

Is that supposed to be
an invitation?

Yeah, it's an invitation.

You don't make it sound
too inviting.

Look, it's a party
for my brother-in-law.

What do you want me to do,
get down on my knees?

What is he, just in town
on a visit?

Yeah.

He comes by once a year
just to let me know
how much money he's makin'.

What does he do for a living?

He owns a big insurance agency
in Raleigh.

Got offices all over the state.

Mr. Big.
Never lets me forget it.

Well, he doesn't sound
like one of your
favorite relatives.

Oh, I can take him
in small doses.

What time do you want us
over tonight, Emmett?
About 8:00.

Well, does that mean
it's not for supper?

If it was for supper,
I'd have said "supper."

Well, I couldn't tell.

7:00 means supper,
9:00 means coffee and cake,

but 8:00 don't mean nothin'.

8:00 means you'll get
corned beef and potato salad
at 10:30.

Well, okay.

Don't do that!

This thing finished, Goober?

Yeah, I told you it's done.

Well, he'll come by
and pay you later.

I'm just his chauffeur.
See you all.

ANDY: Okay, Emmett.
HOWARD: Take it easy, Emmett.

Close the hood, will you?

(ENGINE STARTING)

So long.

Oh, it must be rough sometimes

having a big, successful
brother-in-law in the family.

Oh, Emmett does all right.

Yeah, but he don't drive
a big car like that.

Well, they're nice to have,
but they're not everything.

Emmett's got a good life.

He's got good friends
and a nice wife.

Those things are important.

Well, they got to be
if you ain't got a big car.

You can just put it
on the coffee table.

Yes, dear.

Where's Ben?
He's upstairs making
some business calls.

He said to tell you
he's reversing the charges.

Always with a needle, isn't he?

Like I can't afford
a few phone calls.

Well, he's just being
considerate, Emmett.

Okay, dear. Okay.

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Is it 8:00 already?

Oh, Goober. Come in.
Hey, Martha.

Emmett didn't say
if it was gonna be
formal or not,

so I figured
I better play it safe.

Sit down, Goober.
Hey, Emmett.

How are you, Goober?

Hey, I see you got
some of that
special dip again.

Is that for now or later?

Whenever you want it.

Oh, thanks.

Just help yourself, Goob.

It's good.

I don't know what those folks
would do at the office

if I ever took a vacation.

Ben, I want you to meet
a very good friend of ours,
Goober Pyle.

Goober, this is my brother.

Nice to know you, Pyle.
Nice to know you.

Nice to know you.

Uh, I was the one
who greased your car.

Oh. Fine, fine.

Always did have
a lot of respect for a fella
who works with his hands.

Thanks to goodness
I never did have to.

In fact, I don't know
one end of a monkey wrench
from the other.

Ben is in the
insurance business.

I told him, I told him.

You know, when I first went
into the insurance business,
Mr. Goober,

I said to myself, I said,

"Ben, you either got
what it takes or you haven't."

Goober's my first name.

Oh, fine, fine.
I always like to keep things
on a first-name basis.

Anyway,
one week after I opened up,
I sold my first policy.

(DOORBELL RINGING)
That same day,
I sold another.

And then my business
started to boom...

Oh, Andy, Helen.
Come in.

Oh, and Howard.
Yeah, we met
on the street.

Hi, Emmett.
Goob, Emmett.

Hey, Goob. Emmett.

Ben, I'd like you to meet
Helen Crump, Andy Taylor
and Howard Sprague.

Ah, nice to know you,
Miss Crump.
How do you do?

Mr. Taylor, Mr. Sprague.
HOWARD: Hi there.

MARTHA: Shall we sit down?
HELEN: Oh, thank you.

Uh, Mr. Taylor,
just what kind of
business you in?

Oh, I'm the, uh,
sheriff here in town.

Oh, wonderful! Wonderful!

You didn't happen to notice
that bumper sticker
on my car out front,

the one with the vinyl top?

Uh, no, I didn't.

"Support your local police."

Got it right on the back bumper.

But don't thank me none.

'Cause I'm just happy
to help you boys out.

Well, we appreciate it.

Won't somebody have some dip?

Thanks.

Uh, you work in town here,
Mr. Sprague?

Oh, uh, yes.
I'm in government work.

I'm the, uh, I... I'm...
I'm the town clerk.

Oh, wonderful, wonderful.

I always had
a lot of respect
for you boys

who kept the records straight
for the rest of us.

I personally don't have
that kind of temperament
for that sort of a thing.

I'm in the insurance business.

What brings you to Mayberry,
Mr., uh...
Beecham.

And what brings me to Mayberry?

Well, I'll tell you, Miss Crump.

For a long time, I've had
the feeling that this area,

Mayberry, Mt. Pilot
and Siler City,

this is untapped source
for insurance.
Virgin territory.

And I'm here looking
for someone to represent
the Ben Beecham Agency.

Have you had any luck?
Not yet.

But I don't expect to find
a real experienced man.

Just someone who's lived
down here, knows the people,

and I'll teach him
how to sell insurance.
Sure.

Sounds like
a very lucrative job.

Definitely.

Why, a fella can make hisself
$15,000 a year.

(WHISTLING)
$15,000?

That's right, sis.

And you know, for one minute,

if I thought Emmett here
was the least bit
interested in it,

I would offer it to him.

Me? I got a business.

Well, Emmett, if... if Ben
is interested in you...

I... I just wanna, you know,
try to help out the family.

I don't need any help.
I'm doin' fine.

Well, Emmett, I think
you should at least
give it some thought.

If Ben is nice enough
to make you
an offer like this...

Look, I'm satisfied
with what I'm doing now.

Besides, I don't think
this is anything

we should discuss
in front of our
friends here.

I won't say another word.

Anybody want some dip?

Thanks.

Emmett, the last thing
in the world I wanna do
is to influence you.

All right, then,
why don't we drop it?

Because how many opportunities
in life do you have like this?

What's the big opportunity?

Well, according to Ben,
you could more than
double your income.

We don't need any more money.

Oh, Emmett,
everybody could
use more money.

Besides, working as
an insurance salesman

instead of
in a fix-it shop is, well...

Little more classy, huh?

But I didn't mean exactly that.

You mean I'd be going around
in a shirt and a tie

instead of a dirty old apron?
Is that what you mean?

Well, let's face it,
it definitely would have
many advantages.

We might even start socializing

with those people
on the north side of town.

I'm satisfied
with the friends
I've got now.

Look, all I'm asking
is that you don't make
a hasty decision about this.

All right.

All right.

I won't make a hasty decision.

Now are you satisfied?

Good night, dear.

Good night, Martha.

Hi, Andy.

Oh, hi, Emmett.

You know, uh, I'm sorry
that you had to get mixed up

in that family discussion
last night.

Oh. Well, that
didn't bother me.

That Ben, he... he's really
not a bad sort.

No, I don't expect he is.

You know, he comes on
a little strong sometimes,

but he's all right.

Oh, sure.

Uh, Andy, uh,

I wonder if you could
do me a little favor.

Well, just name it.

Here's the key to my shop.
I'm... I'm closing it up.

And when the folks
come back to get the stuff
I've been working on,

maybe give it to 'em?

Well, yeah, I'd be glad to.

You're takin'
that insurance job?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
I'm... I'm takin' it. I...

I'd be crazy
to pass up an opportunity
like that, you know.

Uh, more dough,
step up in class
a little.

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

I'm leavin' for Raleigh
with Ben today.

I gotta take
a training course
for a week,

uh, learn all about
the policies and everything.

You look kind of
surprised, Andy.

Oh, oh, no, no, no.
It's... It's not that.

It's just, uh, last night
you seemed so positive

about not considering it.

Oh, well, with Ben
and everybody sittin' there,

I didn't wanna seem too anxious.

Oh, oh.

But I... I discussed it
with Martha later,

and I said, "This is
a chance of a lifetime,"
and uh...

So, um...

Will you do that
little favor for me?

Oh, yeah.
I'll be glad to.

I still got a month or so
on the lease.

I suppose I could just put up
a sign, "Out of business."

Well, yeah.

Well, I'll see you
when I get back
from Raleigh.

Right. Right, right.

And... And, listen,
congratulations.

Huh?

I said, "Congratulations."

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

Tried waiting up for you
last night

but it got so late
I fell asleep.

Uh, we left Raleigh
at 7:00 last night

and pulled in here
around midnight.

How did Emmett do
in the training course?

Fine, fine.

I gave him my
personal attention
all week long.

I'm gonna make a first-rate
insurance salesman out of him.

Ben, we appreciate
all this so much.

Nonsense, sis. Nonsense.

If a fella can't help out
his family once in a while,

it's a pretty sad thing.

I'm sure Emmett will be
happy selling insurance.

Won't he, Ben?

There's no question about it.

Hi.

Emmett,
you look wonderful.
Thanks.

Appearance is important.

I took him to my own tailor.

I just like for all my men
to be as well dressed as I am.

Real nifty outfit,
ain't it?
Oh!

Well, let's go.

I'm going with him on his
first call to make sure
that he gets the feel of it.

Oh, that's nice.
Isn't that nice, Emmett?
Yeah.

Emmett, remember
what I told you.

Always keep it in your
left side over here

so you're prepared to
shake hands with a man
immediately.

And have you got
your little calendars

to give out
to each prospect?
Yeah.

Keep 'em in your
right pocket so you can
whip 'em out in a hurry,

and keep the name of
Ben Beecham Insurance
in front of 'em.

Got 'em right here.
All right, let's go.

What about my breakfast?

Later. Later.
Later.

(TITTERING)

See you later, Martha.

Oh, I'm real proud of you.

Now, I... I know
you'll do just fine.

Thanks.

Like I said, Emmett,
always keep your briefcase
in your left hand,

calendars in your
right pocket, so you can
whip 'em out in a hurry

and keep the name of
Ben Beecham in front of 'em.

Hi, Andy.

Well, hi, Emmett.
Good to see you back.

Briefcase.
Briefcase.
Oh, yeah. Other...

Hello, Andy.

Hi, again.

Hi, Taylor.
Mr. Beecham.

Uh, calendar.
Calendar.
Oh, yeah.

There you are, Andy,
uh, a... a calendar.

Tells you
all the days
of the year.

Gee.

Emmett's paying you
quite an honor, Sheriff.

He picked you
as his first call as
an insurance salesman.

He wanted to start
with strangers, but I said,
"What are friends for?"

Well... Hope you
don't mind, Andy.

Never start a sale
by being defensive,
Emmett.

You know you're selling
somethin' important.

You're doing
the customer a favor.
Now, always remember that.

Right.

Uh, w-won't you sit down?

Oh, yeah.

Andy, like, uh...
Well, like Ben says,

I'm here to see you
about insurance,

and Ben's here to...

Oh, I'm just here
to look on, Sheriff.

I always go out
with my new men
on their first call,

you know,
to kind of help 'em along.

Just pretend
that I'm not here.
Go ahead, Emmett.

Andy, insurance is
something you gotta think
about in advance

so that it's there
when you need it.

Now, it's my job
to help you figure out...

No, no, no, no. No, no.
Not "figure out." He can
figure 'em out himself.

Emmett is here
to help you establish
your most important needs.

Yeah, that's what I'll do,
help you establish.

Establish your needs.

Uh, brochures.
Brochure. Brochure.
Oh, yeah.

Andy...
Hey, that's
a nice briefcase.

Yeah. The company
gives them to you.

It's, um, uh...

Oh!

It was upside down, I guess.

Oh, Andy,
here's a brochure here.

Now, you can
see right here...
Emmett!

Emmett, get up.
Get up, Emmett.
Get up.

Find out what kind of
insurance he's interested in.

Oh, yeah.
What kind of insurance
are you interested in, Andy?

Not that way. Find out
by telling him the different
kinds of insurance.

Well, I was gonna do that next.

All right, well,
then do it your way.

I won't say another word,
not unless you need help.

(CLEARS THROAT) Emmett, um,
I'll tell you the truth.

The state gives me
life insurance,

and I get
hospitalization through
the Sheriffs' Association.

Oh.

Well, thanks for your
time anyhow, Andy.

Hold it, Emmett.
Just a minute.

There's other types
of policies, you know.

Sheriff, did you ever
think about...
Hey, hey.

Hey, Emmett,
here's a good one
for Opie.

Which one's that?

This one here
where he gets $1,000
when he's 21.

Hey, that would be a good one
for Opie, wouldn't it?

Yeah.
You just bought yourself
a policy, Sheriff.

Andy, if you'll just
fill out this card later,
when you get a chance,

the company will make out
a policy for you.

Okay.

Thanks, Andy.

Well, you don't need to
thank me. I always meant
to get one of these.

You did the right thing,
Sheriff, and if anything
comes up,

you deal with me directly.

Get right on that phone
and call me collect.

I don't think
that'll be necessary.

Oh. Right.

See you later, Sheriff.

See ya, Andy.

Emmett, I'm gonna be
truthful with you,

I've seen better first calls.

Well, I need practice.

Oh, maybe.
Anyway, I'm gonna let you
make the next call alone

to prove that I have
full confidence in you.

Now go get 'em, boy.

Hiya, Goober.

Hi, Emmett.

Hey, you look snappy.

Oh, thanks.

Hey, what are you doin' there?

I'm tryin' to fix my toaster.

You're sellin'
life insurance now,
I hear.

Yeah, that's right.

Did you check the springs?

They seem all right.

How about your timer?

I haven't got to it yet.

Here.

Let me have a look at that.

What you got in the case?

Huh?

Oh.

Hi, Goober.

Hi.

We already said hi.

Oh, well, uh, here's a calendar.

Oh, thanks.

Uh, Goober,

insurance is something
you gotta think about
in advance

so you'll have it
when you need it.

Now, it's my job
to help you figure...

No. Uh, to establish.

Establish what your needs are.

I know. And I wanna buy
some life insurance

because I've heard
the younger you buy,
the cheaper it is.

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.
Well, I'll show you
how that works out

on the rate card.

Now, uh...

You know, I'll bet
your trouble's in that timer.

I've probably fixed
100 of them things,

and that's always
the first place I look.

Well, I'll check it.

You see, you take out
them two little screws...

I thought you were gonna
show me the rate card.

Oh, yeah. Well...
Oh, here we are.

Here's a policy that's got
a lot of good coverage,

run you about $9 a month.

That sounds about right.

What are
some of the things
about it?

Uh...

Look, Goober, why don't you
read up on it yourself?

And I... I can check back later.

You see, once you get
those two little screws out,

then you can
remove the bracket
that holds the timer.

Now, it takes
a lot of experience.

It's kind of tricky to work.

And I made
a special study of timers

and I found out that...

Are you sure you don't
wanna go to a second movie
with me and Howard?

No, not tonight.

Oh, we still got
plenty of time, you know.
It's only 8:00.

No, I'll pass.

Well, we've still got
a half-hour to kill.

Yeah.

Did Emmett sell you
a policy today?

Yeah. I bought
one for Opie.

He sold me one, too.

Yeah, he came up to see me,

but I haven't decided
what kind of coverage
I need yet.

You know, it's a funny thing.

I was workin' on my toaster
and he couldn't keep
his hands off of it.

Hmm.
He likes to putter.

I finally took it away from him.

You know, I wonder if Martha
made him take that job.

Wives do that sometimes,
you know.

No, Emmett's got
a mind of his own.

A lot of married men think
they got minds of their own,
but they really ain't.

Well, in my opinion...

(PHONE RINGING)
Mmm.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Martha.

(SOFTLY)
It's Martha.

Andy, have you
by any chance seen Emmett
in the last few hours?

No, I haven't, Martha.
Wait a minute.

Martha's looking for Emmett.

Have either one of you
seen him in the last
couple of hours?

Well, he come by
my place about 5:00,

but I don't know
where he went from there.

Uh, Goober said
he came by his place
about 5:00,

but he doesn't know
where he went from there.

Yeah. And he was up
at my place about 2:00,
I'd say.

Uh, Howard said he was
up at his place about 2:00.

Well, I know he was
with Ben early in the day,

but Ben came back
and left for Raleigh.

I can't understand
why he hasn't called.

Well, I'm sure there's nothin'
to worry about, Martha.

I... I guess he's just out
calling on some clients.

You know, sometimes it's hard
to catch a businessman
during the day.

Yeah.

Well, listen, if... if
you're worried about it,

why don't you come on
down here, and we'll
start trackin' him down.

Okay. Fine. Bye.

Probably like you said,
callin' on some clients.

Yeah, probably.

Hey, Howard, want
some pie and coffee
before the movie?

Hey, yeah.
Okay. Swell.

We'll see ya, Andy.

Oh. Okay.

(DOOR CLOSING)

ANDY: Okay, thanks.

All right, bye.

I can't understand
where he could be.

He's always
home by 6:00.

Oh, I'm sure there's nothing
to worry about, Martha.

Maybe so.

Andy, uh...

Did Emmett come in here
to sell you a policy?

Oh, yeah, and... and I bought one.

I, uh...

I don't quite know
how to ask you this.

But it... it's something
that... that has me
a little worried.

Andy,

does Emmett seem happy
doing what he's doing?

Well, yeah.

Yeah, I'd... I'd say so.

But, of course,
now, you would be
the best judge of that.

This job is such
a wonderful opportunity
for him,

but I do want him to be happy.

Well, I certainly
understand that.

Better make
a few more phone calls.

(DOOR OPENING)

Andy!
Andy! Andy!

We were on our way to
the movies. We passed
the fix-it shop.

There's a light on in there.

There is?
Sure is.

W-Wait a minute, Martha.
It might be a prowler.

HOWARD: See?

Wanna take a look, Martha?

Come on, now. I know
you can do it. Nothin'
the matter with you.

There! You did it!
I knew you could do it!

That's a fine piece of toast.

He looks so happy.

Well, like I said,
you're the best
judge of that.

Come on, guys.

EMMETT:
I knew you could do it,
you old son of a gun!

It was in your timer,
just like I told Goober
it was!

All we had to do was
get those two little
screws out of there

and tighten up that
little old timer,

and you're making
the most beautiful toast
I ever did see!

Look at the way
it came out.
Isn't that beautiful?

(EMMETT BLOWING)
Magnificent, ain't it?

(DOOR CLOSING)

Oh, it's just a bad plug.
I'll have that fixed
in no time at all.

Uh...

Oh, yeah. This?

Oh, thanks, Andy.

Thanks, Howard.

Hey, listen, did you
ever regret givin' up
the insurance business?

Not for a second.

You know,
for the last two weeks
I've been a new man.

Yeah.

Well, a man has to do
what he wants to do
to be happy.

Yeah. And that's
a great little wife
I got, too.

Yeah, you're lucky.

Hey, did your... did your
brother-in-law find anybody

to take your place
in the territory?

Not the last we heard.

Although he did say somethin'
about gettin' somebody
to do it part-time.

Mmm.
Oh.

Well, I guess that's
better than nothin'.
Yeah.

Hey, Emmett.

Howard.
Goober.

Hey, Andy.

Got these calendars for you.
