BoxJam and Mallethead at a bar]]

Mallethead: THAT NURSE WAS THE BEST.

BoxJam: Miss Ellie.

Mallethead: I LIKED THE NURSE.

BoxJam: Miss Ellie.

Mallethead: BUT THE NURSE WAS HOT. SHE HAD IT ALL.

BoxJam: Have you ever woken up at 3 in the morning on a cold night, and suddenly been confronted by your own mortality? Your age shoots forward in your consciousness, and you realize that you'll never be younger than that again. Everything that's done is not only un-do-able, but truly irretrievable, and there's a powerlessness and loneliness there that caon't be properly described, much less felt, other than those times you wake up on a quiet, cold night.

When Andy did that, the memory of Miss Ellie's never-again sweet touch both chilled and warmed his soul.

Mallethead: SO, UH, YOU TAKE THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW PRETTY SERIOUSLY.

BoxJam: Yep.
