- Quotes
Sheriff Andy Taylor: [Andy and Barney are discussing the "threatening" letter from the recently released ex-con whom Andy shot in the leg during a filling station holdup when the phone rings] Hello, Sheriff's Office... Oh, yes! Ms. Peterson! Aww... Well, I'll take care of it right away... Yes, Ma'am. 'Bye.
[Hangs up the phone]
Sheriff Andy Taylor: Ms. Peterson's "Fluffy" is on the roof again.
Deputy Barney Fife: This is a time for pussycats? With a killer on the loose?
Sheriff Andy Taylor: Well, Fluffy's got kittens and you know how you'd feel seeing your mother on the roof.
Deputy Barney Fife: [Follows Andy to the door as he's leaving and takes his gun from the holster and tries to get Andy to take it] Andy, take this. Put it under your shirt.
Sheriff Andy Taylor: I won't need it, Barn. Fluffy and I've been friends for years!
