The Andy Griffith Show1960

Barney Fife:
Yeah, well, today's eight-year-olds are tomorrow's teenagers. I say this calls for action and now. Nip it in the bud. First sign of youngsters goin' wrong, you got to nip it in the bud.

Andy Taylor:
I'm gonna have a talk with 'em. Now, what more do you want me to do?

Barney Fife:
Well, just don't mollycoddle them.

Andy Taylor:
I won't.

Barney Fife:
Nip it. You go read any book you want on the subject of child discipline and you'll find that every one of them is in favor of bud-nippin'.
