A Fine Son

(Andy and Barney sitting on the front porch discussing Barney buying his first car.)

Barney Fife: "This is just about the biggest thing I ever bought."

Andy Taylor: "It’s a major step."

Barney: "Last big buy I made was my mom’s and dad’s anniversary present."

Andy: "What did you get them?”

Barney: "Septic tank."

Andy: "For their anniversary?"

Barney: "Yeah. Well they’re really hard to buy for. Besides it was something they could use. They were really thrilled. Two tons of concrete, all steel reinforced."

Andy: "You’re a fine son Barn."

Barney: "I try."
