Episode 79, which I watched today, concerned a "man in a hurry" to get to Charlotte but his car broke down two miles from Mayberry. He walked into town and tried furiously to get someone to fix his car only to find Mayberry took it easy on Sunday. Wally never worked on Sunday; Goober was on the lake, and while Gomer was at the filling station he couldn't do more than dispense gasoline.
Andy, Barney, Aunt Bee and Opie were kind to the visitor. While he paced they were relaxed and sang, including "There's a church in the wild wood." Goober showed up and fixed the car; Gomer brought it over and told the visitor there was no charge. The "man in a hurry " got in the car, started it, and then decided to stay the night. The lesson he learned is there for all of us. Sometimes we are in a rush, almost a panic, about something that is not really that important.
Probably the most famous line in the episode is from Barney, "I'm going to go get a pop, take a nap, and go to Thelma Lou's." He had his afternoon planned. (I realize I'm not quoting that just right.)
