Sheriff Andy Taylor: Uh... you... you want to run away from home? Well, now, uh, if-if-if that's what you got on your mind, well, you-you goin' about it all wrong.
Opie Taylor: I am?
Sheriff Andy Taylor: Oh, yeah. You ain't supposed to ask your pa.
Opie Taylor: But you always said I should never go anyplace far without gettin' your permission.
Sheriff Andy Taylor: Well, yeah, I know I did say that, but, uh, see-see, running away from home is a little special. See, what you do in a case like that is first you write a note SAYIN' that you're runnin' away, and then you do it.
Opie Taylor: You mean to tell me that's all there is to it?
Sheriff Andy Taylor: That's all.
Opie Taylor: But I don't know how to write.
Sheriff Andy Taylor: That does make a problem.”
