- Barney Fife: [answering the phone] Sheriff's office, Fife here.
- Art Crowley, the Grocer: This is Art over at the grocery store. Listen, I finally got the dog that's been barkin' every morning and wakin' up the whole neighborhood!
- Barney Fife: [bending his responses to impress a visiting state policeman within earshot] Oh, you have, huh? Are you sure he's the one we're after?
- Art Crowley, the Grocer: Sure, I'm sure! It's Sam, the big brute that belongs to Floyd!
- Barney Fife: The big brute, huh? Well, we don't need the Sheriff for this! I'll take him single-handed!
- Art Crowley, the Grocer: And tell Floyd to keep him tied up!
- Barney Fife: Right! It'll be the rope for him! I'll be right over!
