<< Our local TV station was showing the episode where Parnell Rigsby
lost a change purse with $50.00 in it and Opie found it and turned it in
to Andy. Andy looked at the clock and told him that if nobody claimed it
by a certain number of days it would be his on that day at 3:05 P.M.
When the big day came they counted down the time and gave Opie the money
at 3:00 P.M. and not 3:05. Has anyone else ever noticed this? >>
Hey Bob and all,
Remember, the clock did say 3:05 but Barney quickly says, " Opie's been
here five minutes already" and Andy then says, "Well, next Wednesday at
three o'clock."
The issue that keeps raising it's head is "who’s bank book was Andy
looking at, his own or Parnell Rigsby’s, when he said, “Ain’t that the
saddest bank book you ever saw?” Andy took the bank book out of the same
cigar box that he had been keeping Mr. Rigsby's change purse. I, and
many others, have always believed that to be Andy's bank book BUT there
are also a lot of folks that think that it was Mr. Rigsby's bank book.
I did two episodes of the Two Chairs No Waiting podcast
(http://www.twochairsnowaiting.com episodes 74 & 75) on that exact
subject and I continue to receive feedback on this topic.
I have done screen shots but you can't tell from them who's bank book it
actually is. Only that there is gold or silver embossed logo/writing on
the cover. It certainly appears to be a Savings Account type deposit
book from a bank and it certainly not a checkbook ledger.
Does anyone happen to have a copy of the script for "Opie’s Fortune"
(#136 season 5)? If so, perhaps it would have stage direction as to
who's bank book Andy is taking from the drawer. Your assistance would be
wonderful.
