  • Barney Fife: Well, what kind of a job can you give to Otis? He's irresponsible! He's careless! He's unreliable!
  • Andy Taylor: I'll make him a deputy.
  • Andy Taylor: Well, Otis ain't a bad fella. He's one'a the nicest fellas I know, always willin' to help out a neighbor, generous and as for his drinkin', we don't lock him up 'cause he's not botherin' anybody. It's so's he won't hurt himself. In a way, that drinkin' does a good service for the town. Otis laps it up so fast, the other folks can't get to it!
  • Andy Taylor: You may not believe it, but sometimes Otis stays around that jail twenty-four, forty-eight hours straight without leavin'.
  • Ralph Campbell: He does, does he?
  • Andy Taylor: Oh, yeah, yeah. You take this mornin'. Me and Barney, that's my other deputy, we come down to the jailhouse bright and early. Don't you think Otis was already there, ahead of us?
  • Ralph Campbell: Well, whadda you do mostly, Otis?
  • Andy Taylor: Oh, uh, we... We all have our, uh, little jobs on the force. Uh, Otis' specialty is trackin' down stills.
  • Ralph Campbell: Stills?
  • Andy Taylor: Yeah, yeah. The minute, the minute anyone starts makin' moonshine around this area, Otis sniffs 'em right out. And then you know what he does? He goes right down there where they're makin' the stuff and brings it all back, right by hisself! Don't ya, Otis?
  • Otis Campbell: Well, yeah. I did that just last night, didn't I?
  • Andy Taylor: Otis, there's a letter here for you.
  • Otis Campbell: For me?
  • Andy Taylor: Yeah. Who'd be sendin' you a letter to this address?
  • Barney Fife: I don't know why they shouldn't! Sure is a home away from home!
