[a nervous Barney is getting a manicure. Ellen, the manicurist, is being very patient with him]
Ellen Brown : [Barney pulls his hand away] I won't hurt you! Honest!
[Ellen swipes with her nail file. Barney reacts and backs away, clutching his right fingers]
Barney Fife : [scared] Ah-hah!
Ellen Brown : [concerned] What's the matter?
Barney Fife : [sick with fear] Makes my skin crawl.
Ellen Brown : I'll be very careful.
Barney Fife : [lifts his right index finger] Be extra careful with that one. That's my trigger finger. Damage that and I might as well quit the business!
