• Andy Taylor : [seeing how many musical terms Barney actually knows]  Hey, Barn? Suppose they asked you if you can sing a cappella. What'll you do?

  Barney Fife : Well, I'd do it!

  [singing on the fly] 

  Barney Fife : A cappella, a cappella...

• Andy Taylor : [Barney is practicing his singing, off-key]  Hey, Barn! How much longer you gonna be at that?

  Barney Fife : Why? Is there somewhere you want me to go?

  Andy Taylor : Yeah.

  Barney Fife : Where?

  Andy Taylor : Anywhere!

• [Barney has been discouraging Rafe from attending the singing auditions at town hall] 

  Andy Taylor : Now... Now, why don't you take Rafe over there and have him sing for 'em?

  Barney Fife : You want Rafe here to be embarrassed and humiliated? They want people up there with musical backgrounds!

  Andy Taylor : Well, it was just an idea.

  Barney Fife : [to Rafe]  That don't mean you have to stop singing, Rafe. You just go ahead and do it. You sing in a bathtub, don't you?

  [Rafe nods] 

  Barney Fife : Well, you can go right ahead and do that.

  Rafe Hollister : [to Andy]  Can I ask a question?

  Andy Taylor : What is it, Rafe?

  Rafe Hollister : What time are these here tryouts?

  Andy Taylor : Right about now, I guess. Why?

  Rafe Hollister : I'm goin' over there.

  Barney Fife : Huh?

  Rafe Hollister : Well, I reckon since they ain't never around when I'm takin' a bath, I best go on over there!
