• Barney Fife : Suck in that gut!

• Andy Taylor : I tell you the truth, I'm surprised you didn't get to me, too.

  Barney Fife : Uh, well, if you want to get technical about it...

  Andy Taylor : Huh?

  Barney Fife : Well, you could be reprimanded for being out of uniform. I mean, no tie and collar open, pants unpressed, not wearin' a revolver and gun belt, sleeves rolled up, your shoes...

• Chester Jones : Barney! Barney, quick! You got to catch him!

  Barney Fife : Who?

  Chester Jones : The fella what just hit and run!

  Barney Fife : Hit and run? Where?

  Chester Jones : [laughing]  Out to the baseball field!

• Barney Fife : Well, he *did* willfully, with malice aforethought, throw a checkerboard full of checkers! Could've blinded somebody!

  Andy Taylor : Well, now, seein' as how that's been going on between Chester and ol' Jud here for around twenty years, that's more a part *of* the peace than it is disturbin' the peace. Case dismissed, Jud. You can go on home.

  Jud Fletcher : Thank ya, Andy. And thank you too, Barney.

  Barney Fife : What for?

  Jud Fletcher : Well, considering the kind of crime I done, for not tryin' to get me hung!

  Aunt Bee Taylor : You say another word Barney Fife and you'll live to regret it!
