Quotes 

• Andy Taylor : Some dates last a whole evening and some of 'em get over nice and early, like this one did. You understand that, do ya?

  Opie Taylor : Uh-huh. You got stood up.

  Andy Taylor : I did not! How you know about that?

  Opie Taylor : Matt Merles told me that when you make a date with a girl and she ain't there to meet ya, then you're stood up.

  Andy Taylor : Well, that certainly didn't happen to me! I went over to Peggy's house and she had something else to do, so I come on home. Now, that don't sound like gettin' stood up, does it?

  Opie Taylor : Don't sound like a date, either.

• Barney Fife : [Andy has returned to the courthouse in a huff. He was supposed to be on a date with Peggy, he's angrily looking around for a magazine]  What happened? Did you get stood up?

  Andy Taylor : No, I didn't get stood up! Have you seen my magazine?

  Barney Fife : Wasn't she home?

  Andy Taylor : She was home! She was home! Had company!

  Barney Fife : Company?

  Andy Taylor : Yeah. An old college pal of hers. Guess what his name was?

  [Nods while standing over the seated Barney, who is played by Don Knotts] 

  Andy Taylor : Don! Wouldn't you know his name would be "Don"?

  [Long pause from open-mouthed Barney] 

• Barney Fife : [Barney and other unwanted company are now leaving, the women have gone outside]  I'm sorry this wasn't the one, Andy, but I'll keep working on it. You'll never be lonely as long as I'm around.

  Andy Taylor : [Andy stands alone at the door. He talks to himself, shaking his head and rolling his eyes]  I don't know what I did to deserve all this attention from him, but whatever it was, I ain't never gonna do it again!

• Andy Taylor : You beat everything, you know that?
