Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:05,206
( whistling sprightly tune )
2
00:00:21,789 --> 00:00:25,226
Well, if you ask me,
3
00:00:25,259 --> 00:00:28,129
It's a good thing ralph
Had to move out of town
4
00:00:28,162 --> 00:00:29,763
And resign as
City councilman.
5
00:00:29,797 --> 00:00:32,200
He was nothing but
A maybe man.
6
00:00:32,233 --> 00:00:33,701
No action.
7
00:00:33,734 --> 00:00:36,670
Well, I just hope we get
Somebody good to take his place.
8
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:38,806
You seem to know so much
About it, floyd.
9
00:00:38,839 --> 00:00:40,474
Why don't you run?
10
00:00:40,508 --> 00:00:44,478
Goober, I served four years
On the city council.
11
00:00:44,512 --> 00:00:49,517
Four of the stormiest years
In mayberry's political history.
12
00:00:49,550 --> 00:00:51,385
I didn't know they
Were stormy, floyd.
13
00:00:51,419 --> 00:00:52,820
( chuckles )
14
00:00:52,853 --> 00:00:54,555
Well, you were too young.
15
00:00:54,588 --> 00:00:57,791
It was just a constant battle
Against corruption.
16
00:00:57,825 --> 00:00:58,826
Here?
17
00:00:58,859 --> 00:01:01,229
Yes, right here.
18
00:01:01,262 --> 00:01:02,463
In mayberry.
19
00:01:02,496 --> 00:01:05,266
Eh, corruption all over
The place.
20
00:01:05,299 --> 00:01:08,436
Remember the famous
Drinking fountain scandal?
21
00:01:10,338 --> 00:01:15,643
Somebody made a mistake
And ran a hot water line in.
22
00:01:15,676 --> 00:01:17,778
Ah... Uh... Mmm...
23
00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:19,880
Tried to cover up.
24
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,416
Well, mayberry ain't
That way today.
25
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:26,187
My boy, this is your heritage.
26
00:01:28,756 --> 00:01:30,458
Hey...
27
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:32,460
Hey, you know, you know
28
00:01:32,493 --> 00:01:34,662
You know who'd make
A good council member?
29
00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:36,197
A real good one?
30
00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:37,198
Who?
Who?
31
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:38,532
Howard sprague.
32
00:01:38,566 --> 00:01:40,301
Huh? Huh?
Howard sprague.
Yeah.
33
00:01:40,334 --> 00:01:42,603
Might be just the man, andy.
34
00:01:42,636 --> 00:01:44,338
He's been county
Clerk for years.
35
00:01:44,372 --> 00:01:45,506
That's good
Experience.
36
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:47,408
He's always talking
About improvements
37
00:01:47,441 --> 00:01:48,576
He'd like to see made.
38
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:49,577
Intelligent.
39
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,678
Yeah.
Yeah.
40
00:01:50,711 --> 00:01:51,745
Conscientious.
41
00:01:51,779 --> 00:01:53,181
Upstanding.
Yeah.
42
00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:54,482
And he loves dogs.
43
00:01:54,515 --> 00:01:56,417
What's that got to
Do with anything?
44
00:01:56,450 --> 00:01:57,551
Let's go ask him.
45
00:01:57,585 --> 00:01:59,487
I bet nobody'd even
Run against him.
46
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,888
Okay.
47
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:07,528
And I believe the highlight
Of last week's meeting
48
00:02:07,561 --> 00:02:11,632
Was the very interesting review
Tillie kincaid gave of the book
49
00:02:11,665 --> 00:02:14,435
Roses are the backbone
Of your garden
50
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:16,170
By mabel j. Mosley.
51
00:02:16,204 --> 00:02:17,338
( all agreeing )
52
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:19,240
I'm sure it inspired us all
53
00:02:19,273 --> 00:02:22,243
To give even more loving care
To our roses.
54
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:24,578
And tillie's summation
Of mrs. Mosley's book
55
00:02:24,612 --> 00:02:26,380
Can be put in a nutshell:
56
00:02:26,414 --> 00:02:30,684
Spare the insecticides but
Do not spare the fertilizer.
57
00:02:30,718 --> 00:02:32,420
( all agreeing )
58
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:35,389
That, I believe, concludes the
Minutes of our last meeting.
59
00:02:35,423 --> 00:02:36,590
Oh, well done.
60
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:39,527
Thank you, bee.
61
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,663
And now, any new business?
62
00:02:42,696 --> 00:02:44,298
Bee?
63
00:02:44,332 --> 00:02:47,735
Well, I believe,
As loyal members
Of the garden club
64
00:02:47,768 --> 00:02:49,670
That we should
Do something
65
00:02:49,703 --> 00:02:51,672
About beautifying
Elm street.
66
00:02:51,705 --> 00:02:53,907
( murmuring )
67
00:02:53,941 --> 00:02:56,344
You know, in a lovely
City like mayberry
68
00:02:56,377 --> 00:02:58,912
It doesn't seem right
To have a blighted area.
69
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:01,482
If the wallravens would
Paint their house
70
00:03:01,515 --> 00:03:02,750
It would certainly help.
71
00:03:02,783 --> 00:03:03,817
It would.
72
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:05,486
I move we form
A committee
73
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:07,755
And whoever's elected
To city council
74
00:03:07,788 --> 00:03:09,757
We should take
Our views to him.
75
00:03:09,790 --> 00:03:11,559
An excellent idea, ella.
76
00:03:11,592 --> 00:03:14,628
I mean, not that we
Want to be a pressure
Group or anything
77
00:03:14,662 --> 00:03:17,365
But if we throw
Our weight behind
The right man--
78
00:03:17,398 --> 00:03:18,766
Girls!
79
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:19,967
Girls, I have an idea.
80
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,902
In fact,
It's an inspirational idea.
81
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:24,605
Now, instead of our forming
A committee about this
82
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:26,740
Why not one of us
Run for city council?
83
00:03:26,774 --> 00:03:31,345
Clara, that is
An inspirational idea.
84
00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:34,982
I suggest that we choose someone
To run right here, right now.
85
00:03:35,015 --> 00:03:37,551
And it has to be someone
Who's well-known
86
00:03:37,585 --> 00:03:39,853
And who has the qualities
Of leadership.
87
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:42,456
I nominate bee taylor.
88
00:03:42,490 --> 00:03:43,757
I second it.
89
00:03:43,791 --> 00:03:45,293
Bee would be perfect.
90
00:03:45,326 --> 00:03:48,829
Oh, no, girls.
Please, no.
91
00:03:48,862 --> 00:03:50,998
I don't know anything
About politics.
92
00:03:51,031 --> 00:03:52,666
What is there to know?
93
00:03:52,700 --> 00:03:54,502
You have good
Common sense
94
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:56,904
And the courage
Of your convictions.
95
00:03:56,937 --> 00:03:58,772
And you're certainly
Popular, bee.
96
00:03:58,806 --> 00:04:00,374
There's no doubt
About that.
97
00:04:00,408 --> 00:04:02,543
Well, I'm...
I'm very honored.
98
00:04:02,576 --> 00:04:03,577
Everyone for bee...
99
00:04:06,914 --> 00:04:09,650
Unanimous.
100
00:04:09,683 --> 00:04:11,319
Well, ladies...
101
00:04:11,352 --> 00:04:12,753
I accept the nomination.
102
00:04:12,786 --> 00:04:15,623
And if elected, I promise
To work diligently
103
00:04:15,656 --> 00:04:17,525
For the betterment
Of mayberry.
104
00:04:20,661 --> 00:04:22,496
Golly, fellas, I don't know.
105
00:04:22,530 --> 00:04:23,897
I'm just overwhelmed.
106
00:04:23,931 --> 00:04:27,034
Think about it,
Howard, just
Think about it.
107
00:04:27,067 --> 00:04:28,969
You'd be a real
Good 'un.
108
00:04:29,002 --> 00:04:30,638
You've got the experience.
109
00:04:30,671 --> 00:04:32,406
County clerk for two years.
110
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,643
It just comes down to we think
You're the best man for the job.
111
00:04:35,676 --> 00:04:37,845
Well, it certainly is a thrill
112
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:40,581
To have friends who think
So highly of me, but...
113
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:41,682
City councilman.
114
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:43,050
Gosh.
115
00:04:43,083 --> 00:04:46,086
The machine will back you
A hundred percent.
116
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:48,589
I'll tell you one thing,
We're all behind you.
117
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:51,592
Aunt bee will talk it up for you
At all her women's clubs.
118
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:52,626
What do you say?
119
00:04:54,728 --> 00:04:56,730
Gentlemen,
I accept the nomination.
120
00:04:56,764 --> 00:04:58,666
Oh!
Attaboy, howard.
121
00:04:58,699 --> 00:05:00,067
Congratulations.
122
00:05:00,100 --> 00:05:03,437
We who have served
Salute you.
123
00:05:06,774 --> 00:05:08,409
Aunt bee!
124
00:05:08,442 --> 00:05:09,577
She's not
Home yet, paw.
125
00:05:09,610 --> 00:05:10,944
Ah.
126
00:05:13,581 --> 00:05:15,483
Oh, hi, ope.
127
00:05:15,516 --> 00:05:16,484
Hi, paw.
128
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:17,818
How was school?
129
00:05:17,851 --> 00:05:19,820
Oh... Fine.
130
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:21,422
Milk?
Yeah.
131
00:05:21,455 --> 00:05:23,023
Any marks?
132
00:05:23,056 --> 00:05:24,091
Just history.
133
00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:26,394
How'd you do?
134
00:05:26,427 --> 00:05:27,961
Well...
135
00:05:29,863 --> 00:05:31,732
This test doesn't really
Mean much.
136
00:05:31,765 --> 00:05:34,468
We're having two more
Before the end of the term.
137
00:05:34,502 --> 00:05:35,703
Huh.
138
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,506
How'd you do?
139
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:39,940
And miss crump didn't tell us
140
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:42,643
She was gonna give us the stuff
From the last chapter.
141
00:05:42,676 --> 00:05:44,111
Half the class didn't know it,
Either.
142
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:45,913
How'd you do?
143
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:48,816
Well...
144
00:05:48,849 --> 00:05:49,883
I got a high "D."
145
00:05:49,917 --> 00:05:51,852
A high "D"!
146
00:05:51,885 --> 00:05:54,655
Ope, you're just going
To have to buckle down...
147
00:05:54,688 --> 00:05:56,056
I've got
Some exciting news.
148
00:05:56,089 --> 00:05:57,558
What, aunt bee?
149
00:05:57,591 --> 00:05:59,727
You're both going to be
Very proud of me.
150
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,828
What did you do?
151
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:02,630
I'm going to run
For city council.
152
00:06:02,663 --> 00:06:05,032
Gosh, aunt bee,
That's just great!
153
00:06:05,065 --> 00:06:06,500
Isn't that great, paw?
154
00:06:06,534 --> 00:06:07,968
Oh, yeah.
155
00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:09,837
Yeah, boy.
156
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,172
You don't sound
Very thrilled.
157
00:06:12,205 --> 00:06:13,707
Oh, I'm thrilled.
158
00:06:13,741 --> 00:06:14,875
I'm... I'm thrilled.
159
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:16,710
It's... It's just that, uh...
160
00:06:16,744 --> 00:06:17,778
Just that what?
161
00:06:17,811 --> 00:06:19,980
Well, uh, I think it's...
162
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:21,782
I think it's great.
163
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:23,016
Uh, but...
164
00:06:23,050 --> 00:06:24,084
But what?
165
00:06:24,117 --> 00:06:26,086
Well, uh...
166
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:27,521
Oh, I think...
167
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:29,823
I think it's just
Wonderful news.
168
00:06:29,857 --> 00:06:32,593
It's just that... Uh...
169
00:06:32,626 --> 00:06:36,997
Don't you think that some
Other people might be...
170
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:39,733
Uh...
171
00:06:39,767 --> 00:06:40,901
Better qualified?
172
00:06:40,934 --> 00:06:43,937
Better qualified?
173
00:06:43,971 --> 00:06:48,809
Oh... Well, I certainly didn't
Think it of you, andy taylor.
174
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:50,210
So you're one of these men
175
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:52,813
Who think that women's place
Is in the home.
176
00:06:52,846 --> 00:06:55,849
Oh, no. Now, wait,
I didn't say that.
177
00:06:55,883 --> 00:06:57,851
Oh, you, of all people.
178
00:06:57,885 --> 00:06:59,987
No, now, wait a minute,
Aunt bee, now...
179
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:01,021
Will you go study?
180
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:02,856
Opie, stay just
Where you are.
181
00:07:02,890 --> 00:07:04,625
It might be enlightening
To hear
182
00:07:04,658 --> 00:07:06,860
Some of your father's
Old-fashioned ideas.
183
00:07:06,894 --> 00:07:09,897
Oh, I don't have
Old-fashioned ideas.
184
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:12,165
I think women
In politics...
185
00:07:12,199 --> 00:07:14,768
Just every bit
As good as men.
186
00:07:14,802 --> 00:07:16,737
Just every bit as good.
187
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:19,707
All I'm saying is
That in this case
188
00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:23,243
Don't you think that
Somebody else might be
189
00:07:23,276 --> 00:07:25,913
Just a little
Better qualified?
190
00:07:25,946 --> 00:07:27,981
Some man,
I suppose.
191
00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:31,251
Now...
192
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,721
You stay
Here. Hmm?
193
00:07:37,858 --> 00:07:39,993
Now, aunt bee,
Will you...
Will you...?
194
00:07:40,027 --> 00:07:41,762
Aunt bee...
195
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:43,030
Aunt bee,
Will you please
196
00:07:43,063 --> 00:07:44,698
Just get it
Through your head...
197
00:07:44,732 --> 00:07:45,799
( knocking on door )
198
00:07:45,833 --> 00:07:46,800
Come in.
199
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:48,536
Hi.
200
00:07:48,569 --> 00:07:49,937
( chuckles )
201
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,605
Aunt bee:
Hi.
202
00:07:51,639 --> 00:07:54,975
I heard you were
Running for city
Council, aunt bee.
203
00:07:55,008 --> 00:07:56,510
Congratulations.
204
00:07:56,544 --> 00:07:57,511
Thank you.
205
00:07:57,545 --> 00:07:59,913
I'm glad
Someone is pleased.
206
00:07:59,947 --> 00:08:02,916
Well, in view of the
Circumstances, andy
207
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:05,953
I guess I sorta
Kinda oughta let
You off the hook.
208
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:08,188
Hook? What hook?
209
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:10,257
Oh.
210
00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:13,160
I presumed
That you had...
211
00:08:13,193 --> 00:08:16,730
No, I haven't.
212
00:08:16,764 --> 00:08:19,633
Aunt bee, howard's running
For city council, too.
213
00:08:19,667 --> 00:08:22,736
In fact, I'm one of the ones
That talked him into it
214
00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:25,573
Because I honestly believe,
With his experience
215
00:08:25,606 --> 00:08:27,207
He's the best man
For the job.
216
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,942
Well...
217
00:08:28,976 --> 00:08:30,277
I'm sorry, aunt bee
218
00:08:30,310 --> 00:08:33,647
But I'm going to have
To go along with this.
219
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:35,115
I'll be supporting howard.
220
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:36,950
Well.
221
00:08:36,984 --> 00:08:38,518
Well!
222
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:45,793
Gee, andy, I sure
Appreciate the
Stand you're taking
223
00:08:45,826 --> 00:08:49,863
But it seems to place
You in a rather
Ticklish situation.
224
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,334
Yeah...
225
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:58,305
You might say that.
226
00:09:06,013 --> 00:09:09,983
( phone rings )
227
00:09:10,017 --> 00:09:11,685
Hello.
228
00:09:11,719 --> 00:09:13,086
Oh, hello, clara.
229
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,155
Yes, I'm working on it now.
230
00:09:15,188 --> 00:09:18,125
Mm-hmm. Getting ideas
And making notes.
231
00:09:18,158 --> 00:09:20,293
Well, as my campaign manager
232
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:24,231
I think you and a few
Of the other girls and myself
233
00:09:24,264 --> 00:09:26,867
Should caucus this afternoon.
234
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,702
Caucus.
235
00:09:28,736 --> 00:09:30,704
C-a-u-c-u-s.
236
00:09:30,738 --> 00:09:33,641
Yes, it's a sort
Of get-together.
237
00:09:33,674 --> 00:09:36,844
All right, well,
We'll check later, clara.
238
00:09:36,877 --> 00:09:38,245
Bye-bye.
239
00:09:40,347 --> 00:09:42,650
Well, good morning.
240
00:09:42,683 --> 00:09:44,752
Good morning.
241
00:09:44,785 --> 00:09:46,286
Mm.
242
00:09:46,319 --> 00:09:48,288
It's over there.
243
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,257
Oh. Oh.
244
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:54,962
Fine.
245
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:58,666
Uh... I wonder
If I...
246
00:09:58,699 --> 00:10:00,668
Well, I do have
Everything
247
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:03,203
Where I can just put
My hands on it.
248
00:10:03,236 --> 00:10:05,038
Oh. Well, that's...
That's fine.
249
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:06,073
That's fine.
250
00:10:08,275 --> 00:10:11,111
It's a nice morning.
251
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:12,245
Yes.
252
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:17,951
Aunt bee, I hope you understand
My position in this election.
253
00:10:17,985 --> 00:10:20,821
Andy, I understand
Your position perfectly
254
00:10:20,854 --> 00:10:23,290
And any ill feeling
I may have indicated
255
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:24,792
Is completely gone.
256
00:10:24,825 --> 00:10:26,794
Oh. Well, good.
257
00:10:26,827 --> 00:10:30,030
You had me scared there
For a minute.
258
00:10:30,063 --> 00:10:31,398
Opie:
Morning.
259
00:10:31,431 --> 00:10:33,000
Oh, morning, ope.
260
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:36,403
Well, I'll get
Your breakfast for you, dear.
261
00:10:38,906 --> 00:10:40,908
Sit down, opie.
262
00:10:40,941 --> 00:10:42,175
Sit down.
263
00:10:42,209 --> 00:10:43,777
Go ahead.
264
00:10:43,811 --> 00:10:45,879
Plenty of room.
265
00:10:56,456 --> 00:10:59,126
I finished that poster
For you, aunt bee.
266
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:00,393
Oh, thank you, opie.
267
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:01,729
It's so refreshing
268
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:04,064
When one finds loyalty
In the family.
269
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:07,000
I drew up a poster
For aunt bee.
270
00:11:07,034 --> 00:11:11,171
"Miss bee taylor
For progressive government."
271
00:11:11,204 --> 00:11:12,806
Good, ope. Good.
272
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,808
Very good. Very good.
273
00:11:14,842 --> 00:11:16,243
Finish your breakfast, opie.
274
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:17,444
I have to get dressed.
275
00:11:17,477 --> 00:11:19,713
Now, is there
Anything else you want?
276
00:11:19,747 --> 00:11:20,914
Oh, no, thank you.
277
00:11:20,948 --> 00:11:22,082
I could use an egg.
278
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:23,884
They're in the refrigerator.
279
00:11:44,237 --> 00:11:47,374
I just don't know
What course of action to take.
280
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:49,509
I've thought and thought
And thought.
281
00:11:49,542 --> 00:11:51,411
Oh, hi, andy.
282
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:52,980
Fellas.
283
00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:55,082
Gee, andy, we've just
Been talking.
284
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:57,417
You know, this whole thing
Is quite a dilemma.
285
00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:00,487
I wouldn't say that.
286
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,924
It might be a little
Uncomfortable for some of us,
287
00:12:03,957 --> 00:12:06,359
But I think the issue
Is very clear.
288
00:12:06,393 --> 00:12:08,762
Clear as crystal!
289
00:12:08,796 --> 00:12:10,030
Explain it to goober now.
290
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:14,802
Well, aunt bee is
A wonderful woman.
291
00:12:14,835 --> 00:12:16,837
A wonderful woman,
She'll get my vote.
292
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:19,406
I'm not finished, floyd.
293
00:12:19,439 --> 00:12:20,874
Oh.
294
00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:23,243
She's a wonderful woman,
But we all agree
295
00:12:23,276 --> 00:12:25,779
That howard is the best man
For the job.
296
00:12:25,813 --> 00:12:27,414
Now, I meant it,
And I still mean it,
297
00:12:27,447 --> 00:12:29,316
I think he is by far
The best qualified.
298
00:12:29,349 --> 00:12:31,919
That's just what
I was gonna say.
299
00:12:31,952 --> 00:12:35,889
The machine --
We'll back you 100%, boy.
300
00:12:35,923 --> 00:12:38,225
Floyd!
301
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:41,461
Now, howard, I think
You should still run,
302
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:44,031
And do everything you can
To win,
303
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:46,099
Because it's
Very important
304
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:49,469
That we have the best man
In there.
305
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,872
Well, what do you say?
306
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:05,485
Andy, my hat's
In the ring to stay.
307
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:07,855
[ all cheering ]
308
00:13:07,888 --> 00:13:09,122
Now, what we got to do
309
00:13:09,156 --> 00:13:11,091
Is get the thing started
And hit 'em hard.
310
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:13,126
I mean, do everything we can --
Shake hands,
311
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,362
Go see people,
Just see everybody.
312
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,171
Girls, girls!
313
00:13:24,204 --> 00:13:25,572
Bee, bee, wonderful news!
314
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:27,407
Oh?
315
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,910
I've just arranged two more
Speaking engagements for you.
316
00:13:29,943 --> 00:13:31,611
The boosters club luncheon
Tomorrow
317
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:33,881
And the literary guild
Wednesday night!
318
00:13:33,914 --> 00:13:36,249
Oh, good, they're very
Influential organizations!
319
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:38,451
Yes, and I've talked
With lillian hartzel
320
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,353
And she says she'll be
More than happy
321
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:42,389
To bring her saxophone
And perform if you like.
322
00:13:42,422 --> 00:13:44,157
Oh, it's a wonderful idea!
323
00:13:44,191 --> 00:13:46,226
You know her version of
"The flight of the bumblebee"
324
00:13:46,259 --> 00:13:47,627
Certainly livens up
An audience.
325
00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:50,630
And we've got to use
Every tool at our command!
326
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:52,299
Every tool.
327
00:13:56,303 --> 00:13:57,938
We've got to have
More slogans.
328
00:13:57,971 --> 00:14:00,607
That's what the
People want to hear.
329
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,609
Yeah. Hey, let's think
Of something.
330
00:14:02,642 --> 00:14:04,878
It has to be catchy.
331
00:14:04,912 --> 00:14:08,015
Like, uh, "Win with wilke."
332
00:14:08,048 --> 00:14:10,517
"A landslide for landon."
333
00:14:10,550 --> 00:14:13,987
Oh. "Tippecanoe and tyler, too."
334
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:15,388
What's that mean?
335
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:17,057
Mean? It means what it says.
336
00:14:17,090 --> 00:14:19,526
Man had a canoe,
And it kept tipping over and...
337
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,595
Probably had something to do
With "Don't rock the boat."
338
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:24,197
Oh.
339
00:14:24,231 --> 00:14:26,066
Oh, and another thing, too.
340
00:14:26,099 --> 00:14:28,201
We got to get that indian vote.
341
00:14:28,235 --> 00:14:29,336
Indian?
342
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:30,470
Yeah.
343
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:32,305
Well, there's
Just one.
344
00:14:32,339 --> 00:14:34,307
Well, every vote counts.
345
00:14:34,341 --> 00:14:35,675
Let me think now.
346
00:14:35,708 --> 00:14:39,412
What's an issue
That would appeal to indians?
347
00:14:39,446 --> 00:14:41,281
Um...
348
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:44,184
"Preserve the buffalo."
349
00:14:47,554 --> 00:14:49,489
Ah...
350
00:14:49,522 --> 00:14:51,558
Good morning,
Mr. Councilman.
351
00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:53,994
Oh, let's not count
Our chickens
352
00:14:54,027 --> 00:14:55,595
Before they're hatched.
353
00:14:55,628 --> 00:14:57,064
Good. Good.
354
00:14:57,097 --> 00:14:58,698
Use that in the speech.
355
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:01,334
A well-turned phrase
Can get votes.
356
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,938
You, uh,
Haven't seen andy.
357
00:15:04,972 --> 00:15:06,339
He's not in his office.
358
00:15:06,373 --> 00:15:08,341
He ought to be
Along any minute.
359
00:15:08,375 --> 00:15:10,643
Woman:
Oh, they're
500 of them.
360
00:15:15,648 --> 00:15:17,951
Morning, ladies.
361
00:15:29,529 --> 00:15:30,964
Why, hi, andy.
362
00:15:30,998 --> 00:15:33,366
Working
On a platform
For the campaign.
363
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,667
I don't think
364
00:15:34,701 --> 00:15:37,037
Any platform's going
To win this election.
365
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:39,506
Everybody's got
Their emotions involved.
366
00:15:39,539 --> 00:15:41,508
What do you mean, andy?
367
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:44,978
Well, I just passed by
A couple of garden club ladies
368
00:15:45,012 --> 00:15:47,480
And they won't have
A thing to do with me
369
00:15:47,514 --> 00:15:49,116
And that means you, too.
370
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:51,384
Getting to be
A battle of the sexes.
371
00:15:51,418 --> 00:15:53,520
Hey, we better
Line up some issues
372
00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:55,688
That'll appeal
To the women voters.
373
00:15:55,722 --> 00:15:57,757
Yeah, make a note
Of that, goober.
374
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,159
And the indian, too.
375
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:00,427
Right.
376
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:03,196
Howard, let me...
Let me ask you something.
377
00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:05,398
What would you say
To an open debate
378
00:16:05,432 --> 00:16:08,101
Between you and aunt bee?
379
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:11,004
You know, let the people get
To know about both candidates...
380
00:16:11,038 --> 00:16:13,440
What they feel
And what they hope to do.
381
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:16,309
Gee, that sounds like
A wonderful idea, andy.
382
00:16:16,343 --> 00:16:19,346
Good. Now, let's just see
If we can set that up.
383
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:20,680
I'll talk to aunt bee.
384
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:22,182
We'll see you, fellas.
385
00:16:22,215 --> 00:16:23,450
Floyd:
Bye, andy.
386
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:24,784
Now, let's see here.
387
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:26,553
Oh. Oh, yes. Here it is.
388
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:29,022
Uh, I do think
We ought to discuss
389
00:16:29,056 --> 00:16:31,191
The new bridge
Over parker creek.
390
00:16:31,224 --> 00:16:34,261
This year's council
Certainly has
To face it.
391
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:37,030
I'm going all out on it
In my speech tonight.
392
00:16:37,064 --> 00:16:38,165
Right.
Good.
393
00:16:38,198 --> 00:16:40,033
Bee, wear
Your blue suit.
394
00:16:40,067 --> 00:16:42,669
It gives
A feeling of stability.
395
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:44,204
I think you're right.
Now --
396
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:49,142
( clears throat )
397
00:16:49,176 --> 00:16:52,245
Well, uh, ladies...
398
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,414
We ar having
A meeting here.
399
00:16:54,447 --> 00:16:55,582
Well, fine, fine.
400
00:16:55,615 --> 00:16:57,417
I'd just like
To check something.
401
00:16:57,450 --> 00:16:58,685
'course, it is your house.
402
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:00,653
If you'd prefer
We go somewhere else.
403
00:17:00,687 --> 00:17:02,055
No, no, no.
404
00:17:02,089 --> 00:17:04,224
I'd just like
To get this thing down
405
00:17:04,257 --> 00:17:05,558
To a sensible basis.
406
00:17:05,592 --> 00:17:07,694
I was talking
With some of the fellas.
407
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:11,331
And I believe if we could get
The issues in this campaign
408
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:12,732
Before the public
409
00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:15,135
Then they might
Get a better idea
410
00:17:15,168 --> 00:17:18,238
Of who they'd
Like to have for
Their councilman
411
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:19,739
Or, in your
Case, woman.
412
00:17:19,772 --> 00:17:21,208
Now, well...
413
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:23,510
A debate
Is what I'm talking about
414
00:17:23,543 --> 00:17:24,777
In the town hall.
415
00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:26,613
It's-it's fine with howard.
416
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:29,482
And, uh, well,
What about you, aunt bee?
417
00:17:29,516 --> 00:17:31,184
Debate?
418
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:32,219
Yes.
419
00:17:32,252 --> 00:17:34,454
May I ask my
Campaign manager?
420
00:17:34,487 --> 00:17:35,622
Well, certainly.
421
00:17:35,655 --> 00:17:38,225
Excuse me.
422
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:42,462
( whispering )
423
00:17:45,665 --> 00:17:47,500
Aunt bee:
Mm-mmm.
424
00:17:47,534 --> 00:17:49,236
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
425
00:17:49,269 --> 00:17:50,703
Mm.
426
00:17:55,475 --> 00:17:56,709
We have decided.
427
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:58,711
We would welcome
Such a debate
428
00:17:58,745 --> 00:18:00,580
And the sooner
The better.
429
00:18:00,613 --> 00:18:03,082
Fine. I'll, uh,
I'll set it up.
430
00:18:06,253 --> 00:18:09,356
( chattering )
431
00:18:17,264 --> 00:18:19,732
Ladies...
Ladies and gentlemen,
432
00:18:19,766 --> 00:18:21,901
Could I have
Your attention?
433
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:24,871
If you'll just take seats.
434
00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:27,640
Uh...
435
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:31,344
I'm sure everybody knows
Both our candidates
436
00:18:31,378 --> 00:18:32,912
For the city council.
437
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:34,481
Miss bee taylor...
438
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:40,587
And howard sprague.
439
00:18:44,224 --> 00:18:46,859
Now, both the candidates
Have agreed
440
00:18:46,893 --> 00:18:49,296
That there'll be
No formal rules
441
00:18:49,329 --> 00:18:52,699
Or set questions
For the, uh, debate tonight.
442
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:55,535
So, uh, anybody
Who has any questions
443
00:18:55,568 --> 00:18:57,404
About any of the issues
444
00:18:57,437 --> 00:18:59,572
Just feel free to ask them
445
00:18:59,606 --> 00:19:02,842
And the candidates
Will give you their opinions.
446
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:05,612
Uh... Well, uh... All set.
447
00:19:05,645 --> 00:19:07,647
So just, uh...
448
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,183
Just fire away.
449
00:19:10,217 --> 00:19:12,252
I'd like to hear
A discussion
450
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:15,522
On the subject of, uh,
Putting up a new bridge
451
00:19:15,555 --> 00:19:18,491
Over parker creek
On the old ranch road.
452
00:19:18,525 --> 00:19:21,594
Ladies first.
453
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,697
The fact that I'm a lady
Has nothing to do with it.
454
00:19:24,731 --> 00:19:27,767
The issue is not whether
A man or woman is running
455
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,936
But who's best
Qualified for the job.
456
00:19:35,708 --> 00:19:37,344
Oh, I couldn't agree more.
457
00:19:37,377 --> 00:19:38,378
I only meant...
458
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:39,712
Of course.
459
00:19:39,746 --> 00:19:41,414
Now, as to
The new bridge
460
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:43,350
Being built
Over parker creek
461
00:19:43,383 --> 00:19:44,684
At the old ranch road
462
00:19:44,717 --> 00:19:47,420
I say if it is the
Will of the people
463
00:19:47,454 --> 00:19:48,755
That a bridge be built
464
00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:50,623
Then a bridge
Shall be built.
465
00:19:56,963 --> 00:20:00,767
Well, uh... I think this
Would just be a waste
466
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,802
Of the taxpayers' money.
467
00:20:02,835 --> 00:20:04,604
Waste of the taxpayers' money?
468
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:06,939
Let me read some figures
I have here
469
00:20:06,973 --> 00:20:09,008
On the cost of such a project.
470
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:10,910
Now, if the bridge were built
471
00:20:10,943 --> 00:20:13,646
Just one block away
On baker street...
472
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,582
Baker street? Why baker street?
473
00:20:15,615 --> 00:20:19,286
Well, it would result
In a savings of $3,628
474
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:23,456
Including the cost of $468
To repair the old bridge
475
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:27,460
Which could still be used
For pedestrian traffic.
476
00:20:27,494 --> 00:20:31,464
Now, at 6% interest,
This could be amortized
477
00:20:31,498 --> 00:20:33,466
Over the next ten years
478
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:36,436
At a monthly expenditure
Of $57.60.
479
00:20:36,469 --> 00:20:38,738
Now, 30% of this
Would be deductible
480
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,374
In light of the new
Government ruling
481
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:42,809
On civic improvements.
482
00:20:42,842 --> 00:20:46,346
Now, this would leave
A net total cost to the city
483
00:20:46,379 --> 00:20:47,647
Of under $40.
484
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,050
Where did he get
All that information?
485
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:54,421
These figures, of course,
Are only an approximation
486
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:57,357
Based upon the probable
Current interest rates
487
00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:59,626
At the time
The project is instituted.
488
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:02,462
I'm sorry I can't be
More exact at this time.
489
00:21:05,398 --> 00:21:06,799
Next question, please.
490
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:12,772
Uh, how about
The new sewers
For main street?
491
00:21:12,805 --> 00:21:15,708
I'm glad you asked
That question, goober.
492
00:21:15,742 --> 00:21:17,577
The sewers on main street
493
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:20,046
Is a subject
Very close to all of us.
494
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:22,915
And I say
If the people want new sewers
495
00:21:22,949 --> 00:21:24,517
They shall have them.
496
00:21:24,551 --> 00:21:26,319
The will of the people--
497
00:21:26,353 --> 00:21:28,988
That shall be my beacon
To shine forever
498
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:31,758
In the darkness
Of political ignorance.
499
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:39,999
Well, as county clerk,
The sewer situation
500
00:21:40,032 --> 00:21:42,802
Is an area
That is not unfamiliar to me.
501
00:21:42,835 --> 00:21:46,072
Frankly, I don't think
New sewers is the answer.
502
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:47,807
I have some figures here
503
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,543
On the cost of repairing
Our old ones.
504
00:21:50,577 --> 00:21:53,913
Now, if we were to concentrate
On the 200-foot run
505
00:21:53,946 --> 00:21:56,048
Between first
And third streets
506
00:21:56,082 --> 00:21:58,685
We could completely
Repair this line
507
00:21:58,718 --> 00:22:01,120
Assuming that
The plumbing wage cost
508
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,955
Remains at a constant...
509
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:04,957
And I would say definitely no.
510
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:08,027
A new road connecting
With the state highway
511
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:10,897
Would just be a waste
Of taxpayers' money...
512
00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:13,633
The boy, he's got
A lot of savvy.
513
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:18,037
Reminds me of myself
When I was 35.
514
00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:21,874
Then we could always
Reconsider the measure.
515
00:22:21,908 --> 00:22:23,876
Uh, only time can tell.
516
00:22:27,013 --> 00:22:28,981
( clears throat )
517
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:31,584
Uh, are there
Any more questions?
518
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:33,520
Aunt bee:
Yes. I have one.
519
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:38,024
I've been sitting here
520
00:22:38,057 --> 00:22:40,560
Listening to my
Worthy opponent
521
00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:43,029
With all of his
Facts and figures
522
00:22:43,062 --> 00:22:45,565
About the problems
Of our town.
523
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:48,835
And I've been listening
Not as a candidate
524
00:22:48,868 --> 00:22:51,738
But as one
Of the people
Who lives here.
525
00:22:51,771 --> 00:22:53,105
And my question is
526
00:22:53,139 --> 00:22:55,508
Why should anyone
Vote for me
527
00:22:55,542 --> 00:22:59,111
When you have
A man like howard
Sprague running?
528
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:04,083
I can't think of anybody else
I'd want on the council
529
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:07,019
Looking after
My interests and
Everybody else's.
530
00:23:07,053 --> 00:23:08,821
And I wholeheartedly
Urge you
531
00:23:08,855 --> 00:23:11,057
To cast your vote
For howard sprague.
532
00:23:11,090 --> 00:23:13,059
( people gasp )
533
00:23:18,565 --> 00:23:21,468
( chattering )
534
00:23:26,205 --> 00:23:27,807
Well, uh...
535
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,842
Gee, aunt bee,
I, uh...
536
00:23:29,876 --> 00:23:31,511
I don't know
What to say.
537
00:23:31,544 --> 00:23:34,113
Well, we'll talk about it
Tomorrow morning
538
00:23:34,146 --> 00:23:36,716
When you're having
Your eggs and cereal
539
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,785
And sausages
And pancakes and...
540
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:40,987
If there's anything
Else you'd like
541
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:43,890
Just let me know.
542
00:23:47,527 --> 00:23:50,096
Now, are you sure that's
Enough for you, andy?
543
00:23:50,129 --> 00:23:51,798
Plenty, plenty, plenty.
544
00:23:51,831 --> 00:23:54,233
I didn't tell you
About my talk with howard
545
00:23:54,266 --> 00:23:55,568
Last night
After the debate.
546
00:23:55,602 --> 00:23:56,803
No.
547
00:23:56,836 --> 00:23:59,038
He's asked me
To head a committee
548
00:23:59,071 --> 00:24:01,708
For the beautification
Of elm street.
549
00:24:01,741 --> 00:24:03,009
Hey, that's something!
550
00:24:03,042 --> 00:24:04,677
You mean you're
Gonna be in charge
551
00:24:04,711 --> 00:24:05,912
Of the whole thing,
Aunt bee?
552
00:24:05,945 --> 00:24:07,013
That's right, opie.
553
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:08,581
Well, that's
Quite an assignment.
554
00:24:08,615 --> 00:24:09,782
I've been thinking about it
555
00:24:09,816 --> 00:24:10,950
Ever since he mentioned it
To me.
556
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:12,485
And you know what I'm planning?
557
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:14,120
Not the faintest idea.
558
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:16,823
I'm going to remove all of
The elm trees on elm street,
559
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:18,625
And I'm going to
Plant magnolias.
560
00:24:18,658 --> 00:24:20,827
We'll probably call it
"Magnolia street."
561
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:23,530
That's a nicer name, anyway,
And when those trees
562
00:24:23,563 --> 00:24:26,533
Are in bloom, that whole street
Will be completely shaded.
563
00:24:26,566 --> 00:24:28,801
It'll probably be the prettiest
Street in mayberry.
564
00:24:28,835 --> 00:24:30,837
Ooh, politics are exciting!
565
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:32,805
Do you know what
My other plan is?
566
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:34,707
When they finish the bridge
At baker street,
567
00:24:34,741 --> 00:24:36,142
We're going to build
A dam,
568
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:37,844
And then we're going to
Put in a water wheel.
569
00:24:37,877 --> 00:24:39,946
It'll be just beautiful.
