• Fred Flintstone : Where's your get up and go?

  Barney Rubble : It just got up and went.

• Barney Rubble : [upon seeing an assembled mastodon skeleton after sneaking into the Brickrock home]  Your suspicions were correct, Fred. There she is - Agatha Brickrock with her outside removed.

  Fred Flintstone : That's not Agatha; that's a mastodon.

  Barney Rubble : A whats-a-don?

  Fred Flintstone : A big thing with a lumpy body, thick legs, a long nose, floppy ears, and tusks.

  Barney Rubble : Sounds like Agatha to me.

• Barney Rubble : Say, Fred, ain't it time for the big fight?

  Fred Flintstone : Hey-hey, I'm glad you remembered! You fix the chairs. I'll get the soda and popcorn.

  Wilma Flintstone : I didn't know there was a fight scheduled.

  Barney Rubble : [while moving two chairs over to the window looking into the neighbors' home]  You kiddin'? Tonight's for the championship. Oh, it should be a real grudge bout.

  Betty Rubble : Heavyweight or lightweight?

  Barney Rubble : Both. A heavyweight versus a lightweight.

  Wilma Flintstone : Why are you putting the chairs over there by the window? The TV set is here.

  Fred Flintstone : This is not on TV. It's a closed-circuit.

  Betty Rubble : But who's fighting?

  Barney Rubble : The new neighbors - Mrs. and Mr. Brickrock.

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred! You don't intend to eavespeep?

  Fred Flintstone : Ho-ho-hoooo, I wouldn't miss tonight's bout for anything. Those two have been putting on the greatest fight of the century. Last night's bout was a doozy. Did you ever hear such hysterics? All that screaming and shrieking in that high voice?

  Barney Rubble : Yeah, I thought he'd never stop!

  Betty Rubble : Oh, that's terrible! You mean that meek little man hit's his wife?

  Fred Flintstone : No-o-o, in the last three bouts, he didn't even lay a glove on her. He's strictly a defensive fighter.

  Barney Rubble : You'd think she'd let him win once in a while just to keep up his interest.

• Television Producer : [Having discovered Fred and wanting to cast him in the role of the loud-mouthed husband in the new show, "The Frogmouth"]  That voice, that voice! He's the perfect Frogmouth! Get that frog! I mean, get that man! Get him up here right away! So you're Wilma's husband. I knew it, I knew it! One look at her, and I knew it! Tell me, Fred, did you ever do any acting?

  Fred Flintstone : Well, heh-heh, one year I was in the spring play at Public School 158.

  Television Producer : And you were Hamlet? Uh, Romeo? Er, King Arthur?

  Fred Flintstone : Na-a-aw, no, none of those things. Some of the kids were trees, some were flowers, some were butterflies...

  Television Producer : And what were you?

  Fred Flintstone : I was a slug.

  Television Producer : It figures, it figures...

• Fred Flintstone : I love my dear sweet mother in-law. My mother in-law is a doll.

  Attendant : Are you feeling alright, mister?

  Attendant : Good. Good. You just stay in here and rest. That hot sun out there is a killer.

  Fred Flintstone : Poor guy, he must have been standing in it for hours.

• Fred Flintstone : [when Barney suggests he tell the truth about a crazy situation]  What is this mania you have with telling the truth? You must have been weaned on sodium pentathol or something.

• Fred Flintstone : [after being called a "loudmouth"]  YES I AM! SO WHAT? YOU WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF IT?

  Fred Flintstone : Wilma, do you know where they went?

  Wilma Flintstone : They said they were going to the amusement park and then to dinner. Oh my poor mother.

  [She starts crying] 

  Fred Flintstone : Don't you worry sweetheart, you leave it to me. Barney.

  Barney Rubble : Yeah Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : C'mon, let's go.

  Barney Rubble : Right Fred.
