- Andy Taylor: Well, while you fellas are shakin' hands with buzzers and havin' stuff jump outa papers and foolin' around like that, what are the girls doin'?
- Opie Taylor: Just acting silly.
- Andy Taylor: The last thing that I'd wanna do is to force you to do somethin' that I said I wouldn't force you to do. Although, I really would appreciate it if you went.
- Opie Taylor: You mean you're forcing me?
- Andy Taylor: I wish you wouldn't say that. It's just that I'm asking you to consider it.
- Opie Taylor: Okay.
- Andy Taylor: You'll go?
- Opie Taylor: No. I'll consider it like you said.
- Andy Taylor: Well?
- Opie Taylor: I ain't goin'.
- Floyd Lawson: Now wait a minute, Andy. I'm a lot older than you are. I remember that first dance they had over at the school, there. You hid in the barn.
- Goober Pyle: Hid in the barn? That's funny!
- Andy Taylor: I did not!
- Floyd Lawson: Oh, no, when you were Opie's age, you were a real stick-in-the-mud.
- Andy Taylor: Some day when you grow up and have children of your own, I'd like to be around when you explain it to your boy.
- Andy Taylor: I just had a thought. You know what? I'll bet you that Aunt Bee might just be willin' to teach you how to dance. Aunt Bee?
- Aunt Bee Taylor: I'll be back in half an hour with some dance records.
- [rushes out the door]
- Opie Taylor: She sure got ready in a hurry.
