Aunt Bea: Did you like the white beans I made for supper?
Andy: [falling asleep] Mmm-hm.
Aunt Bea: I don't think you liked them.
Andy: I ate four bowls! If that ain't a tribute to white beans, I don't know what is. Eatin' speaks louder'n words, you know.
Aunt Bea: Your education was worth ev'ry penny.
What's even worse than the fact that I transcribed "Andy Griffith Show" dialogue is that the other day I remembered that I'd written down this exchange (5+ years ago) and was lamenting that I'd lost it.
Funny -- and frightening -- how our minds collect things.
