The Andy Griffith Show1960
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
...where there's somewhere like 400 needy boys in this county alone, or 1 1/2 boys per square mile.
Opie Taylor:
There is?
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Sho' is.
Opie Taylor:
I never seen one, Pa.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Never seen one, what?
Opie Taylor:
A half a boy.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Well, its not really a half a boy, its a ratio.
Opie Taylor:
Horatio who?
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Not Horatio. A ratio. Its mathematics - arithmetic. Look now Opie, forget that part of it. Forget the part about the half a boy.
Opie Taylor:
Its pretty hard to forget a thing like that Pa.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Well, try.
Opie Taylor:
Poor Horatio.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Now look Opie, Horatio is not the only needy boy... Son, uh, didn't you ever give anybody anything just for the pleasure of it. Something you didn't want anything in return for?
Opie Taylor:
Sure, just yesterday I gave my friend Jimmy something.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
Now thats fine. What'd you give him?
Opie Taylor:
A sock in the head.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
I meant charity.
Opie Taylor:
I didn't charge him nothing.
Sheriff Andy Taylor:
I meant something for the joy of giving.
Opie Taylor:
I enjoyed it.
