Act Eight Scene One:

Narrator:  After a long afternoon of drinking at Dusty’s Tavern Floyd decides to go for his interview at the radio station.

Rick: Someone’s knocking on the door. Can you get it Dwight?

Dwight:  Why not? I’m only the co-host of this show.

Narrator: Dwight lets Floyd in. He can see that Floyd is none too steady on his feet.

Rick: You look pretty drunk Floyd. Are you sure you can do the interview?

Floyd:  Damn rights I can. I only had about six Buds. Anyway, you guys are going to be famous world wide after this interview.

Dwight:  Floyd we know that The Andy Griffith Show is popular in Roswell but I don’t think too many people have heard about it anywhere else.

Floyd:  I didn’t come here to talk about the damn Andy Griffith Show.

Rick:  What?! Look Floyd, The Andy Griffith Show is the top rated show in Roswell and that what our listeners expect you to talk about?

Dwight:   What else would you talk about? Cutting hair or playing checkers?

Floyd:  You’re one funny boy Dwight. Let me first tell you guys why I don’t want to talk about the Andy Griffith Show. Andy Griffith can’t even remember his own lines on the show even when he’s sober which is not very often.

Rick:  Ah, come on. Floyd. I’ve never heard Andy flub any of his lines on the show.

Floyd:  That’s thanks only to me. I’m usually hiding behind Aunt Bea’s sofa when Andy has to speak. I whisper his lines to him from behind the couch.

Dwight:  Who would have thought it? Oh no! The red on air button has been on the whole time.

Rick:  Our apologies listeners. We didn’t mean for you to hear all that. I’m sure that Floyd the barber will tell you that he was only joking.

Floyd:  I will not! It’s the truth.

Dwight:  I need to pick up the phone. We’ve got a caller on the line.
