SAME - MOMENTS LATER

               Goober confessing.

                                      GOOBER
                          Well, it's just like Andy said.  Otis
                          was blackmailing the both of us. 

                                      HOWARD
                          Why?

                                      GOOBER
                          Needed the money, I guess.  

                                      HOWARD
                          No, I mean what was he blackmailing you
                          for?

                                      GOOBER
                          On account of he walked in on the two
                          of us chugging pickles at the county
                          fair a couple weeks ago.  And I guess
                          he got jealous.

                                      FLOYD
                          Those were good pickles.

                                      BARNEY
                          Quiet, Floyd.

                                      GOOBER
                          He said if we didn't pay him, he'd
                          spread it around town how our loafers
                          was light.

                                      HOWARD
                          Oh my goodness!

                                      BARNEY
                          You need some air, Howard?

                                      HOWARD
                          No, that's all right, Barney, I went to
                          college.  Go on, Goober.

                                      GOOBER
                          Well, we paid him off at first, but he
                          kept asking for more.  And I just
                          couldn't take it.  When he came by the
                          garage this morning, I told him, "Otis,
                          look here, I ain't gonna let you
                          blackmail us no more."  

                                      HOWARD
                          What did he say to that?

                                      GOOBER
                          He called me all sorts o' names I can't
                          repeat.  And I told him, I says, "Otis
                          Campbell, you know perfectly well I
                          ain't but the second and third things
                          you just called me, and that was only
                          the one time with Floyd."

                                      FLOYD
                          It was two times, Goober.  Remember the
                          picnic by the lake?

                                      GOOBER
                          That's right, two times.

                                      BARNEY
                          Floyd, hush!

                                      GOOBER
                          So I look him straight in the eye and I
                          says, "Otis, my love for Floyd, it
                          ain't worth 50 dollars a week, so you
                          better just quit!"
                                (beat)
                          And then he pulled a gun on me!

                                      ANDY
                          What?!

                                      GOOBER
                          Well, I knew I was a goner if I didn't
                          do something quick, so I made a grab
                          for it.  We wrestled for the gun.  And
                          it went off!  

                                      HOWARD
                          Good lord!

                                      GOOBER
                          Next thing I know, Otis is lying there
                          on the floor, dead as can be.  Shot
                          with his own gun.

               Andy shakes his head in disbelief.  Goober grins stupidly.  

                                      GOOBER
                          The End.

               Goober suddenly remembers the part he left out.

                                      GOOBER
                          Oh!  And then I dragged him to the
                          alley and cracked him upside the head
                          with his moonshine.

               Goober grins stupidly again.  Floyd jumps up.

                                      FLOYD
                          My turn!  My turn!

                                                         WHIP PAN TO
