• Martha Hollister : [Admiring Rafe's new, but tight, tuxedo]  You look good enough to get buried!

  Rafe Hollister : I feel like I'm fixin' to!

• Rafe Hollister : [interrupting Barney singing "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms"]  I... I don't mean to butt in none, but that ain't the way it goes.

  Andy Taylor : [agrees]  Your endearin' wasn't too charmin', Barn.

• Rafe Hollister : I honest believe I'd rather spend another ten days in jail than to wear these government clothes!

• Mrs. Dennis : And what a marvelous Idea, having him appear dressed that way! It made his selection so much more authentic! Mr. Hollister, will you favor us with another selection?

  Rafe Hollister : [to Andy]  Want to?

  Andy Taylor : Why not?

  [starts playing his guitar] 

• Rafe Hollister : I woulda greased m' shoes, but every time I do that, the cats all follow me.

• Andy Taylor : Our... Our records are off somethin' fierce! Ink musta got smudged.

  Rafe Hollister : Hmm.

  Andy Taylor : Somebody we took in for moonshinin', April a year ago, address up on Willow Creek Road.

  Rafe Hollister : Moonshinin'?

  Andy Taylor : Yeah.

  Rafe Hollister : Last April?

  Andy Taylor : Yeah.

  Rafe Hollister : Well, that's me! You took *me* in 'bout then!

  Andy Taylor : Can it be?

  Rafe Hollister : Uh-huh.

  Andy Taylor : By dog, you're right! Now we can set things straight!

  Rafe Hollister : But I done my time and I ain't been moonshinin' since! Oh, I mean, not so's you could notice.

• Andy Taylor : [Barney resumes his singing practice in the back room]  That's Barney.

  Rafe Hollister : How long's he been ailin'?

• [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!
