"I wouldn't marry you...

Rich Glisson

>...if you were the last man on earth!" (Barney Fife to Ernest T. Bass, in the episode "Mountain Wedding", where they dress Barney up in a wedding dress to lure Ernest T. out of the woods).

We watch that episode over and over on DVD and both of our daughters (ages 6 and 8) use that phrase constantly.

Yeah Thomas, tht's my favorite Ernest T. line.

Funny thing is that Ernest T. was only in a few episodes of The Andy Griffith show, yet he is one of the most remembered charecters of not only the show, but of T.V. in general.
