And besides, i was getting awful tired of the big city because, you know its getting so a girl cant walk down the street anymore without being whistled at. Do you know why men do that . Oh, i wouldnt have any idea. Would you, floyd . Oh, no, no, no. Ii wouldnt know at all. And another thing, the big city isnt a very friendly place. The people and all, theyre not friendly.

Well, it started last night call after call canceling the appointments and then more this morning. Well, she is going to think this is an unfriendly town now. Who can blame her . You mean theyre canceling manicure appointments . Yes, right and left. Ill bet you there wont be well, what happened . Wives. They dont like the idea of their husbands havin their hands held by a pretty young thing like miss ellen. Something we shouldve thought of, aint it . Oh, i dont know what to tell her now. Things were goin along so well and everything. This is just where we started. This is going to destroy her faith in this town, andy. Uh. How bout you tell her . No. Now, floyd, i cant do. Oh, there you are, floyd. They told me you were here. Ive got to get back to my shop. Somethings come up. I have to talk to you. Just talk to andy. Uh, floyd, uh. Ellen, wont you, uh. clears throat wont you, uh, sit down . Well. Thank you. But i did want to talk to floyd because something very important has come up. When i first came to mayberry i wanted time to think and i thought this would be a friendly town in which to do that, and. Iiit is a friendly town, miss ellen. Youve got to believe that but, uh, theres somethin that, uh, that i want you to. To, uh, understand. There is . Yes, there is. Now, uh, i. I dont know whether you. Whether you know this or not, but, uh. I mean real, real, real good. I cant remember when ive seen nature spend so much time on any one person. And, well, what im, uh, tryin to tell you is that bein as pretty as you are and as unattached as you are, well, uh. You can be a pretty worrisome thing to other, married women. I can . Yes, you can. You can. The fact is, uh are afraid that youre gonna steal their husbands away from em. Oh, well, thats silly. Id never do a thing like that. I know you wouldnt but it sure would help matters a lot if you was to be married yourself. And then, see, the wives here wouldnt feel so uncomfortable about you holdin their husbands hands. You get what im drivin at . Why, Sheriff Taylor that is the sweetest proposal i have ever heard. Ellen, i. I. Youre askin me to marry you. Ellen, i, uh. I. Imagine me the wife of a sheriff. Ellen, i. I. Its a good thing you didnt tell me all this yesterday or i might really have been confused. But i cannot accept your proposal of marriage because i called pierre and told him to come and get me as i have thought it over and i have agreed to become his wife. Well, thats what i wanted to tell floyd that i cant work in his shop anymore but it was terribly sweet of you to ask me. Why, thats the most flatterin thing thats ever happened to me and even though im married to pierre ill always have fond memories of you. Well, i better get back to the hotel and get packed. Goodbyeand thanks again. Oh, hi, barney. Hi. Hi. Aint we lucky to be livin the despair of winter is followed by the hope of spring. The infernal heat of summer ababished by a gentle autumn breeze. Lifes brutal truths are softened by its tender mercies. You know, i like that. Thank you. My riding has allowed me to express my most inner feelings. I dont know how i would survive without it. I wish you had Something Like that, xena. Are you kidding . I got this. Its perfect. [sighing] more hot sand
