>>I was watching the episode where the Darling's are coming to town to pick up PFC Dudd Wash. When they are in the cell eating the white beans and they are handing their plates to Aunt Bee, one of them says "Bout to pop" and then when she is leaving you can see one say "Night". So looks like to me that there are two times I can tell that they actually talk. Does anyone else hear this and is there any other times they say anything? Steve<<
Steve, at one of a couple of events I have been able to attend, Mitch Jayne spoke about this. He is the bass-playing pipe-smoking Darlng boy. It was he that uttered "bout to pop" and he claimed that this was the only words spoken by any of the Darling boys. As I'm sure you've heard the story, they were not part of the actors union, but were paid as musician/background actors, so they were not given lines. Your spotting one of them saying "night" may bust Mitch's claim to a small degree.
