The Andy Griffith Show (1960–1968): Season 3, Episode 16 - Man in a Hurry - full transcript
A businessman's car breaks down two miles from Mayberry on a Sunday. He has a business appointment in Charlotte the next morning. He walks to town and finds it deserted until church lets out. The garage is also closed on Sunday. Gomer is working but can only pump gas and Wally refuses to repair the car until Monday. The stranger can't believe the pace of life in Mayberry and everyone's lack of urgency. Andy tries to talk him into spending the night and getting the car fixed on Monday. He will hear of no such thing...at first.
Starring Andy Griffith...
With Ronny Howard...
Also starring Don knotts.
Wonderful sermon, pastor.
Just wonderful.
Thank you, sheriff.
I don't believe that my message
was reaching deputy Fife,
however.
You appeared to be nodding.
Oh, well, it's my fault
if Barney was snoozing a little.
See, I had him out
till 4:00 this morning
on a chicken stakeout.
We got a tip that buzz Jenkins
has been lifting a few fryers
from al's poultry headquarters.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Do you know buzz?
That's where I'm having supper
this evening.
Opie, you stop roughhousing
in your sunday suit.
Now, boys will
be boys, you know.
He thinks blue serge
grows on trees.
Opie, what are you doing?
Same thing he does
every time he wears that suit...
He's pulling horsehairs
out of the lapels.
Opie, quit that!
You want your suit to get soft?
Well, I got to run.
I'm due over at Thelma Lou's.
Okay, Barn.
We'll see you at supper.
Can I see you, Andy?
Excuse us, pastor.
Excuse us.
Can you lend me 50 cents?
I promised Thelma Lou
I'd pick up a sunday paper
then get her a couple
of frozen sunny Jim bars.
Thanks.
Good sabbath, pastor.
Bless you, deputy.
Well, we better go on, too.
See you sunday, pastor.
Good sabbath to you.
Good sabbath.
He's the best preacher
we ever had.
Let's go, ope.
In a minute, pa.
Johnny Paul and me are trading.
He give me this penny
that was run over by a train
for a horsehair.
Leave them horsehairs be.
What do you want
with them anyway?
Johnny Paul says if you put
a horsehair in stagnation water
it will turn into a snake.
No more trading on sunday.
Come on.
All right, there you go.
There you are, aunt bee.
What you want
with a mashed penny?
I'll fix it up,
eventually buy something.
Sheriff.
Yes, sir?
You a sheriff Taylor,
aren't you?
Yes. Something
I can do for you?
Well, I hope so.
My name is Tucker...
Malcolm Tucker.
My car broke down
about two miles out of town.
Oh, that's a shame.
I have a business engagement
in Charlotte in the morning.
I have to get that car fixed.
I'll drop the family off home,
then run you over to
Wally's filling station.
Get right on in there.
It's only fair
to warn you, though,
the station just barely is open.
Wally, the owner...
He don't even show up on sunday.
If it's open,
there'll be someone there.
Depends on how you look at it.
Gomer pyle's in charge.
Good. He'll fix it.
I wouldn't count on it.
Well, now, here's what you do.
You drive the car
up here to the pump
and I'll fill her up with gas.
I told you,
I've got plenty of gas.
Could be your Gauge.
Sometimes she'll tell you "f"
when you really
got yourself a "e."
"E" means it's empty,
"f" means it's full.
I know what it means.
Gomer, if Mr. Tucker
says he's got gas
why, he's got gas.
Now, look, all I want you to do
is come with me
and look at my motor.
I'd be happy
to look at your motor.
I'm sure it's a sight to behold.
But I don't know nothing...
Gomer can't help you, Mr. Tucker.
He's not a mechanic.
Wally's the man
you're gonna have to see.
That Wally...
When it comes to motors,
he's sure got a green thumb.
Then let's find Wally.
Not on sunday.
What?
Why don't you just figure
on stayin' over,
Mr. Tucker?
It's nigh impossible
to get anything done
here on sunday.
I told you, I can't stay.
My business is urgent.
Now, please, take me to Wally.
It won't do you any good.
We'll see about that.
I'll see you, gomer.
Lots of luck to you and yours.
Why do they leave
a boy like that in charge?
It's just a part-time job.
He's saving up money
for college.
He's studying to be a doctor.
Howdy, Wally.
Andy.
Wally, this here
is Mr. Tucker.
Watch your foot.
I'm going to rock forward.
Mr. Tucker's car
broke down.
He needs some mechanical work.
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Where's your car now?
About two miles out
of town on highway 43.
What did she sound like
before she stopped on you?
Well, it choked up.
It seemed to me like
it wasn't getting any gas.
He's got gas
in the tank, though.
Lots of gas.
Did it sound
something like this?
First, it ran smooth,
then it kind of chh-chh-chh-chh!
Then it ran smooth again.
Then another chh-chh-chh-chh!
Then whoosh-chrr-ptt-ptt!
Then she dies?
Yes, that's it.
Uh-huh, you've got yourself
a clogged fuel line.
How did you know that?
From the sound.
You'll fix it for me, then?
Be happy to.
Fine, fine.
Just an hour's work.
We'll tow her in tomorrow
morning, get right on it.
Did you see moon mullins yet?
Yeah, at breakfast.
Now, don't tell me.
Let me find it.
Tomorrow morning?!
I've got to get
that car fixed now!
Today! This minute!
I've got to be in Charlotte.
Can't you understand that?
I couldn't do it.
We're closed on sunday.
You refuse to help me, then?
If it was an emergency...
It is an emergency!
Mr. Tucker, if...
Now, we know it's the fuel line,
and your boss says
it's a comparatively
simple repair.
He's a wonderful man.
He can take a motor apart
and put it together
right 'fore your eyes.
Seen him do it once.
I said, "hey,
you took that motor apart"
and put it together
right 'fore my eyes."
You know what he said?
Said, "could do it again
if you wanted to."
He would, except
it was gettin' dark.
Now, think.
Somebody, besides Wally,
can fix my car.
Now, who?
Who?
Who?
My cousin goober, that's who.
He knows about motors?
He hopped up an old v-8 engine
and put it on his rowboat.
That thing will do 80.
That's fast on water.
What's his number?
Three-seven-one-j.
I'll phone him.
He ain't home.
Where is he?
On sunday,
he's always out on his boat.
Hey! Hey, come back here!
Hello, Sarah?
Get me sheriff Taylor, quick!
By rights, I ought to arrest you
for stealing that truck.
But I won't because I realize
you got a problem.
You probably just
wasn't thinkin'.
Here's the keys, gomer.
Thanks, Andy.
I'll keep them in my pocket
from here on in.
Now, Mr. Tucker,
why don't you
just come on home with me
'fore you get in
any more trouble?
I'm willing
to forget it this time
but next time
I might not be so willing.
I am entitled to make
one phone call
under the law, am I not?
You're not under arrest.
You can make all
the phone calls you want.
It won't do you
any good, though.
The mendelbright sisters
visit by phone
every sunday afternoon.
Everybody knows
about maude and Cora,
and they let them use the phone
for a good three or four hours.
Oh, for Pete's sake.
Maude lives here
and Cora lives in mount pilot.
They're in their 80s.
It's kind of hard
for them to get about.
Now, come on home
with me, Mr. Tucker.
No mechanics,
one gas station open,
people allowed to use
the phone all day long...
I've been in towns in my time,
but this beats them all.
So first,
my right foot started tingling
and then my left foot
began tingling.
Oh, I've had that.
You know what it is?
No.
Would you like to know?
If you'd like to tell me.
Your foot's asleep.
Oh, I declare.
That's what I said.
I told you.
This is ridiculous.
Wasting valuable time on drivel.
Talking about people's
feet falling asleep.
It's probably maude.
Cora, too.
I wonder what causes that?
I don't know.
I have that every now and then.
Maybe I ought
to go see their doctor.
Supper's ready, boys!
Opie! Supper!
Come on, sit down
and have something,
Mr. Tucker.
I am not hungry, thank you.
I know for a fact
you ain't eat a bite all day.
I am not hungry, thank you.
You're the doctor.
Aren't you going to eat
anything, Mr. Tucker?
No. No, thank you.
Chicken leg,
Mr. Tucker?
No, thank you.
How about some nice,
clear chicken broth?
Thank you, no.
You mean the daughter
who went north to college?
No, no, no, maude.
She went west.
The one with her father's nose.
Oh, of course. Moosey.
What about her?
Her feet fell asleep, too.
Outrageous!
Sheer idiocy!
I can't believe this
is happening to me!
A public utility
being tied up like this!
You people are living
in another world!
Easy, Mr. Tucker.
This is the 20th century.
Don't you realize that?
The whole world is living
in a desperate space age.
Men are orbiting the earth.
International television
has been developed.
And here, a whole town
is standing still
because two old women's feet
fall asleep!
I wonder what causes that.
Oh!
And the doctor says
my feet fall asleep
because my high-button shoes
are too tight.
What doctor is that?
The one who fixed my teeth.
He certainly should know.
Ladies, ladies,
excuse me a moment.
Who's that, Cora?
I don't know.
I think someone's listening.
No, wait, ladies, please.
Just a moment.
Hello, hello.
Hello.
Hello?
Who is this?
Hello.
Ladies, just listen a moment.
My name is Malcolm Tucker.
Who?
Malcolm Tucker.
Of the buffalo tuckers?
No. I'm from Charlotte.
Tucker enterprises.
And I have...
I knew Charlotte Tucker.
She married that man
who fell down a lot.
She married that lens grinding
man from hutchinson, Kansas.

Hey, Mr. Tucker.
Yes, boy?
What is it?
Well...
Easy, gomer.
Get some breath.
My cousin goober's back
and he's going to fix your car.
We already towed it
into the filling station.
Good. Now we're
getting some place.
You tell him to hurry it up.
Sure will.
Now gomer's got you
all keyed up again.
I'm not keyed up.
You know what I think
I'm going to do?
What?
I'm going to go home,
have me a little nap,
then go over to Thelma Lou's
and watch a little TV.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I believe
that's what I'll do.
Go home...
Have a nap...
Then over
to Thelma Lou's for TV.
Hmm.
Yep, that's the plan.
Right home...
A little nap...
For the love of Mike,
do it! Do it!
Just do it!
Go take a nap!
Go to Thelma Lou's for TV!
Just do it!
What's the hurry?
I'll see you, and.
Mr. Tucker.
Did you ever try
to peel an apple
without breaking the peeling?
No.
Mr. Tucker.
My car ready?
No.
Goober thinks you need
a new set of spark plugs.
Well, change them.
They're $1.15 apiece.
Fine. Fine.
She's an eight-cylinder.
She'll take eight.
Go do it.
One for each cylinder?
Go, boy, go. Do it.
We have your permission?
Yes. Yes.
Didn't want you to say
we'd overcharged you.
Go do it.
Right.
Goober says, "hey," Andy.
Hey to goober.
Lookit there.
Congratulations.
There she is.
Runs smooth as silk.
Fine. Fine.
Now, what do I owe
you and goober?
Ah, it's no charge.
What?
What about the spark plugs?
You didn't need new ones
after all,
so we just blowed out
the fuel lines.
She runs good as new.
That's mighty nice of you boys.
Well, I don't understand.
Goober deemed it a real honor
to get under
that fine a machine.
This is ridiculous.
You worked hard.
Oh, we was glad to do it.
We did take one Liberty though.
Oh?
I took goober's picture
by your car with the hood up.
It's kind of a way to remember.
Now look, gomer,
I insist you take this
for your trouble.
It wasn't no trouble.
Take it.
It wasn't no trouble.
'Sides, we kept you waiting
around here
longer than you wanted to stay.
So have a nice trip
and lots of luck
to you and yours.
Andy, would you give me a hand?
Mr. Tucker's car
is ready, aunt bee.
He's leaving.
Oh.
Oh, what a shame.
We were going to have ice cream.
Sounds wonderful.
But I really do
have to be going.
Thank you for everything.
No, wait, just a minute.
Now, don't go just yet.
Just 'cause you lost
a little time,
don't go trying to make it up.
Ain't no use breaking your neck.
Don't go doing that
with your neck there.
I'll watch it, sheriff.
Hey, Mr. Tucker,
you aren't going to leave, are you?
I have to, son.
Ah, rats.
If you were staying
I was gonna get to sleep
on the ironing board
between two chairs.
Sounds terrible.
No, it ain't.
That's adventure sleeping.
Mr. Tucker.
Don't go just yet.
There you are.
Oh, thank you.
Now, there's two chicken legs
and a piece of cake.
They're homemade.
They're better
than you'll get on the road.
I couldn't...
Take them,
Mr. Tucker.
Here you are,
Mr. Tucker.
What's this?
It will protect you
in your traveling.
It's a penny that was
run over by a train.
It's lucky.
Thank you, son.
The best to you.
And if you're ever by
this way again
be sure and stop by.
Hope you got more time, though.
We don't like to see folks
hurrying through like this.
Is something wrong?
Hmm?
No, no. I better be on my way.
Listen to that motor.
Slick, ain't she?
Sounds like it's falling apart.
Huh?
You and goober did fine
to get that motor started.
But there is definitely
something wrong in there.
Don't you hear it, sheriff?
Listen.
Sounds strange.
Don't you think maybe
I should wait until morning
and let Wally look at it?
She's smooth as silk.
No, wait, wait a minute.
Yeah, I hear it.
There is something
wrong in there.
You know, I wouldn't trust her
for the highway.
It will be getting dark
after a while.
You better stay over
and let Wally take a look at it.
Opie, show Mr. Tucker
where he can bed down.
Oh, I get to sleep
on the ironing board.
There ain't nothing wrong
with this car.
Oh, he's right, gomer.
There's something wrong.
I don't understand it.
Sure don't understand it.
Of course, I don't fix them.
I just put in the gas.
I'll see you, sheriff.
I'll see you, gomer.
Oh, gomer.
Yeah?
Lots of luck to you and yours.

You know what'd be a good idea?
What?
We all went uptown
and got us a bottle of pop.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
We all went uptown
and got a bottle of pop.
You think Mr. Tucker
would like to go?
Why don't we ask him
if he'd like to go uptown
and get a bottle of pop?
Mr. Tucker?
Then let's me and you go.
Where?
Uptown and get a bottle of pop.
With Ronny Howard...

Wonderful sermon, pastor.
Just wonderful.

Easy, Mr. Tucker.
This is the 20th century.
Don't you realize that?
The whole world is living
in a desperate space age.
Men are orbiting the earth.
International television
has been developed.
And here, a whole town
is standing still
because two old women's feet
fall asleep!
I wonder what causes that.
Oh!
And the doctor says
my feet fall asleep
because my high-button shoes
are too tight.
What doctor is that?
The one who fixed my teeth.
He certainly should know.
Ladies, ladies,
excuse me a moment.
Who's that, Cora?
I don't know.
I think someone's listening.
No, wait, ladies, please.
Just a moment.
Hello, hello.
Hello.
Hello?
Who is this?
Hello.
Ladies, just listen a moment.
My name is Malcolm Tucker.
Who?
Malcolm Tucker.
Of the buffalo tuckers?
No. I'm from Charlotte.
Tucker enterprises.
And I have...
I knew Charlotte Tucker.
She married that man
who fell down a lot.
She married that lens grinding
man from hutchinson, Kansas.

Hey, Mr. Tucker.
Yes, boy?
What is it?
Well...
Easy, gomer.
Get some breath.
My cousin goober's back
and he's going to fix your car.
We already towed it
into the filling station.
Good. Now we're
getting some place.
You tell him to hurry it up.
Sure will.
Now gomer's got you
all keyed up again.
I'm not keyed up.
You know what I think
I'm going to do?
What?
I'm going to go home,
have me a little nap,
then go over to Thelma Lou's
and watch a little TV.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I believe
that's what I'll do.
Go home...
Have a nap...
Then over
to Thelma Lou's for TV.
Hmm.
Yep, that's the plan.
Right home...
A little nap...
For the love of Mike,
do it! Do it!
Just do it!
Go take a nap!
Go to Thelma Lou's for TV!
Just do it!
What's the hurry?
I'll see you, and.
Mr. Tucker.
Did you ever try
to peel an apple
without breaking the peeling?
No.
Mr. Tucker.
My car ready?
No.
Goober thinks you need
a new set of spark plugs.
Well, change them.
They're $1.15 apiece.
Fine. Fine.
She's an eight-cylinder.
She'll take eight.
Go do it.
One for each cylinder?
Go, boy, go. Do it.
We have your permission?
Yes. Yes.
Didn't want you to say
we'd overcharged you.
Go do it.
Right.
Goober says, "hey," Andy.
Hey to goober.
Lookit there.
Congratulations.
There she is.
Runs smooth as silk.
Fine. Fine.
Now, what do I owe
you and goober?
Ah, it's no charge.
What?
What about the spark plugs?
You didn't need new ones
after all,
so we just blowed out
the fuel lines.
She runs good as new.
That's mighty nice of you boys.
Well, I don't understand.
Goober deemed it a real honor
to get under
that fine a machine.
This is ridiculous.
You worked hard.
Oh, we was glad to do it.
We did take one Liberty though.
Oh?
I took goober's picture
by your car with the hood up.
It's kind of a way to remember.
Now look, gomer,
I insist you take this
for your trouble.
It wasn't no trouble.
Take it.
It wasn't no trouble.
'Sides, we kept you waiting
around here
longer than you wanted to stay.
So have a nice trip
and lots of luck
to you and yours.
Andy, would you give me a hand?
Mr. Tucker's car
is ready, aunt bee.
He's leaving.
Oh.
Oh, what a shame.
We were going to have ice cream.
Sounds wonderful.
But I really do
have to be going.
Thank you for everything.
No, wait, just a minute.
Now, don't go just yet.
Just 'cause you lost
a little time,
don't go trying to make it up.
Ain't no use breaking your neck.
Don't go doing that
with your neck there.
I'll watch it, sheriff.
Hey, Mr. Tucker,
you aren't going to leave, are you?
I have to, son.
Ah, rats.
If you were staying
I was gonna get to sleep
on the ironing board
between two chairs.
Sounds terrible.
No, it ain't.
That's adventure sleeping.
Mr. Tucker.
Don't go just yet.
There you are.
Oh, thank you.
Now, there's two chicken legs
and a piece of cake.
They're homemade.
They're better
than you'll get on the road.
I couldn't...
Take them,
Mr. Tucker.
Here you are,
Mr. Tucker.
What's this?
It will protect you
in your traveling.
It's a penny that was
run over by a train.
It's lucky.
Thank you, son.
The best to you.
And if you're ever by
this way again
be sure and stop by.
Hope you got more time, though.
We don't like to see folks
hurrying through like this.
Is something wrong?
Hmm?
No, no. I better be on my way.
Listen to that motor.
Slick, ain't she?
Sounds like it's falling apart.
Huh?
You and goober did fine
to get that motor started.
But there is definitely
something wrong in there.
Don't you hear it, sheriff?
Listen.
Sounds strange.
Don't you think maybe
I should wait until morning
and let Wally look at it?
She's smooth as silk.
No, wait, wait a minute.
Yeah, I hear it.
There is something
wrong in there.
You know, I wouldn't trust her
for the highway.
It will be getting dark
after a while.
You better stay over
and let Wally take a look at it.
Opie, show Mr. Tucker
where he can bed down.
Oh, I get to sleep
on the ironing board.
There ain't nothing wrong
with this car.
Oh, he's right, gomer.
There's something wrong.
I don't understand it.
Sure don't understand it.
Of course, I don't fix them.
I just put in the gas.
I'll see you, sheriff.
I'll see you, gomer.
Oh, gomer.
Yeah?
Lots of luck to you and yours.

You know what'd be a good idea?
What?
We all went uptown
and got us a bottle of pop.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
We all went uptown
and got a bottle of pop.
You think Mr. Tucker
would like to go?
Why don't we ask him
if he'd like to go uptown
and get a bottle of pop?
Mr. Tucker?
Then let's me and you go.
Where?
Uptown and get a bottle of pop.
