• Mrs. Pyrite : Mr. and Mrs. Rubble, this is your little boy.

  [Presents Bamm-Bamm] 

  Betty Rubble : Oh, Barney, isn't he precious?

  Fred Flintstone : [aside to Wilma]  Precious? They'd have been better off with the monkey.

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred!

  Betty Rubble : Does he have a name?

  Mrs. Pyrite : Bamm-Bamm.

  Barney Rubble : Is that short for something?

  Mrs. Pyrite : Bamm-Bamm-Bamm. You're going to have to take it slowly with this one. He doesn't speak yet and is a little skittish around humans, but, then again, I would be too if I'd been raised by wild mastodons. Ha ha ha.

  Betty Rubble , Barney Rubble : Mastodons?

  Mrs. Pyrite : Let's not nitpick! A mammal's a mammal.

• Wilma Flintstone : I cannot believe you just sat there and let them walk out on us.

  Fred Flintstone : At least I can walk around the house in my underwear again.

  Wilma Flintstone : And that is more important to you than 20 years of friendship?

  Fred Flintstone : It is on a hot day.

• Wilma Flintstone : [when Barney and Betty are waiting for their adopted child]  Fred? And promise me you won't say anything like what you did when you saw my sister's baby.

  Fred Flintstone : The kid had a tail? What was I supposed to do? Pretend I didn't notice?

• [as Fred and Pearl argue] 

  Wilma Flintstone : You two should be ashamed of yourselves!

  Pearl Slaghoople : I got my hands full just being ashamed of him.

  Fred Flintstone : You got your hands full when you scratch your neck!

• Wilma Flintstone : This has gone far enough! After everything that we've done for you! We took you into our home!

  Betty Rubble : Oh, yeah, so you could show off every chance you got. You used to be such nice people but now... you're just a couple of rich snobs! Hmph!

• Wilma Flintstone : We have scrimped and saved for that money, and every time we get a little bit ahead, you have to go blow it on some hair-brained scheme!

  Fred Flintstone : Now see here, Wilma! In this cave, I am the king! And...

  Wilma Flintstone : And what, Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : And you have every right to know, my queen.

• Fred Flintstone : [the Rubbles have walked out on the Flintstones]  They were holding us back, Wilma! We'll make new friends, there are 4,000 people in this world. Who needs the Rubbles?

  Wilma Flintstone : I do... But I'll tell you what I don't need. I don't need... this necklace.

  [rips off her necklace] 

  Wilma Flintstone : You know I don't need this lamp.

  [knocks over a lamp which is based on the one from A Christmas Story] 

  Wilma Flintstone : And I don't need this television set.

  Fred Flintstone : [frantically]  Not the TV!

  Wilma Flintstone : [Wilma pushes the TV breaking it]  I don't need this... I don't need this... Oh, I don't think I'll be needing any of this bone of china.

  [throws them at Fred] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Because I don't have any friends to invite to dinner! So I don't think I'll need these cups and saucers.

  [throws away the dishes smashing them] 

  Fred Flintstone : [missing the point]  You'll regret this, Wilma. It's going to take you hours to clean up this mess.

• Wilma Flintstone : Fred, do you have to get Dino so wound up when you come home?

  Fred Flintstone : It's not my fault. Maybe he'd calm down if we had him fixed!

  Dino : WHAT?

  [he runs away] 

• Susan Rock : And the demonstration continues to get uglier at Slate and Company, following the unexpected layoff of virtually the entire labour force by V.P. Fred Flintstone. For the Cave News Network, this is Susan Rock.

  Barney Rubble : Fred! Did you hear what happened to everyone at the quarry today?

  Fred Flintstone : Yep. Few hours ago, I sent 'em all off on a nice, long vacation.

  Barney Rubble : You mean, a permanent vacation!

  [turns to Wilma and Betty, points to him] 

  Barney Rubble : He fired them!

  [Betty gasps] 

  Wilma Flintstone : [turns to him]  Fred! How could you?

  Fred Flintstone : I didn't do that!

  Barney Rubble : You did too! It's all over the TV!

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred!

  Fred Flintstone : Wilma, who are you gonna believe? Me or some busboy?

  Betty Rubble : That "busboy" is your best friend!

  Fred Flintstone : Best friend? BEST FRIEND? I lost my best friend the day I became an executive! He's just jealous of my hard-earned success!

  Barney Rubble : Hard-earned? Tell me something, Mr. Vice President! What's a graduated inventory plan, huh? How about supply and demand? Hey, Fred! What's two and two?

  Fred Flintstone : I didn't come here to talk business! I'm out with my wife! Now... get me a clean spoon.

  Barney Rubble : [slams the tablecloth]  That does it! The only reason you got that job is 'cause I switched tests with you.

  Betty Rubble : Oh, Barney.

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, ho, ho, that's rich! What good would it do me to switch tests with the guy that got the lowest score in the quarry?

  Barney Rubble : Think about it, Fred!

  Betty Rubble : Oh! Finally, it all makes sense.

  Wilma Flintstone : You don't believe this, do you?

  Betty Rubble : [stands up]  Are you calling my husband a liar?

  Wilma Flintstone : [gasps; stands up]  Now, this has gone far enough! After everything that we've done for you! We took you into our home!

  Betty Rubble : Oh, yeah? So you could show off every chance you got!

  [Wilma gasps] 

  Betty Rubble : You used to be such nice people, but now... you're just a couple of rich snobs! Mmm!

  Fred Flintstone : [stands up]  Better than being a couple of petty ingrates.

  Betty Rubble : Come on, Barney! We are moving out tonight!

  Barney Rubble : Hang on, Betty. I forgot to punch out.

  [punches Fred in the face; he faints] 

• Bedrock's Most Wanted Host : [Fred emerges from the side of a building wearing a beard, hat, and trench coat and spots a TV broadcasting "Bedrock's Most Wanted"]  Tonight, in a special edition of "Bedrock's Most Wanted," we bring you the story that's rocked our city: "The Case of the Embezzling Executive."

  Miss Stone Look-A-Like : [an "Actual Dramatization" is shown with actors playing Cliff, Fred, and Miss Stone with Fred shown stuffing money into a briefcase]  Mr. Flintstone, what are you doing?

  Fred Look-A-Like : I'm an executive. I'm... embezzling!

  Miss Stone Look-A-Like : I'm shocked.

  Pearl Slaghoople : [Wilma, Pearl, and Betty are watching the same show at Pearl's house]  How could you ever marry that man?

  Wilma Flintstone : Mother, that man is not my husband.

  Betty Rubble : That's right. He plays Dr. Gravelman on "The Young and the Thumbless."

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred might be a lot of things, but a thief is not one of them.

  Pearl Slaghoople : Can you prove it?

  Fred Look-A-Like : Who cares? Yabba dabba dabba.

  Wilma Flintstone : [Sees the Dictabird repeating Fred's "Yabba Dabba Dabba" on TV]  Maybe I can.

• [Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty have returned to Fred's house with the Dictabird] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Why is the door open?

  Fred Flintstone : What?

  Betty Rubble : [worriedly]  Oh, Wilma, something's wrong!

  [they run inside to find the house has been trashed all over; Pearl is gagged and tied up on the floor] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Pebbles!

  Betty Rubble : Bamm-Bamm?

  [Wilma, Betty and Barney run inside to look for the kids while Fred raises his arms in disbelief] 

  Fred Flintstone : What kind of madman would *do* something like this?

  [Pearl gestures for Fred to help her up; Fred steps over her and unties Dino] 

  Fred Flintstone : [baby voice]  Who's a poor poochy? That's a baby.

  [Fred steps over Pearl again; Pearl groans; Wilma, Betty and Barney return] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are gone!

  Betty Rubble : [hands Fred a stone rectangle]  They left this.

  Barney Rubble : It's a note.

  [Wilma unties Pearl] 

  Fred Flintstone : "If you want to see your kids again, bring the Dictabird to the quarry at dawn. No police."

  [the Dictabird gasps and Barney stares wide-eyed as Fred furiously crushes the note into dust with his bare hands]
