- Fred Flintstone: [after hearing radio broadcasts making fun of his dancing] I don't want to do it! Don't make me do it!
- [Starts to cry, then faints]
- Barney Rubble: Don't worry about your daddy, Pebbles. He's just having a simple nervous breakdown.
- Barney Rubble: You really got to hand it to Fred.
- Betty Rubble: What do you mean?
- Barney Rubble: Every time he hurts himself, it's a new dance. He'll make a fortune if he lives.
- Wilma Flintstone: Hear that, Betty? Free tickets to Shinrock.
- Betty Rubble: What's the good? By the time we can get downtown, they'll all be gone.
- Barney Rubble: Fred and I can pick'em up for you on our way home from bowling.
- Fred Flintstone: Oh, no, you don't. I'm not going anywhere near that Shinrock studio. Those kids might stampede and we'd be trampled.
- Wilma Flintstone: Okay, Fred. If that's the way you feel. Come on, Betty.
- Fred Flintstone: Hey, wait a minute. What about our dinner?
- Wilma Flintstone: Sorry, Fred. We're not going anywhere near the kitchen.
- Betty Rubble: When you smell food, you and Barney might stampede and we'd be trampled.
- Jimmy O'Neill: That new dance of yours. We'll call it ''The Frantic''. It'll sweep the country!
- McShale: The Frantic. It'll be bigger than the Jerk!
- Barney Rubble: Hey, you hear that, Fred? You'll be bigger than a jerk!
- [the girls want their husbands to try the Pterodactyl dance with them]
- Wilma Flintstone: How about you, Fred? All you have to do is flap your arms and squawk. Squawk! Squawk! Squawk! Squawk!
- Fred Flintstone: Flap my arms and squawk? What do you think I am, one of those goofy teenagers?
- Barney Rubble: Right, Fred. You're no goofy teenager. You're a goofy middle-ager.
- [Fred accidentally hits his head on the door and starts hopping around in pain]
- Barney Rubble: Well, he just created another new dance: The Flintstone Frenzy!
- Barney Rubble: [Arrives to help Fred practice his dance routine] I'll just plug in the old electric guitar, tune it up, and...
- [guitar shorts out]
- Fred Flintstone: Barney! What the heck happened?
- Barney Rubble: AC guitar, DC outlet! Would you mind unplugging it, Fred? I'm feeling kind of barbequed!
- [Fred tries to unplug the guitar, which shorts out again, then blows up]
- Barney Rubble: Man, when those things short, they really short! You got a spare tuba?
- Fred Flintstone: Never mind the instruments! You can hum the tune.
- Fred Flintstone: [after being "persuaded" to get Wilma & Betty tickets to the Shinrock TV show] Okay, okay, we'll pick up your Shinrock tickets. But first let me take care of Jimmy O'Neillstone!
- [Turns off TV]
- Jimmy O'Neill: [his arm reaches out of the set and turns it back on] Welcome back to Shinrock!
- Barney Rubble: Well, that's one way of keeping up their ratings.
