Quotes 

• Mesmo : Now, then, what do you think you are? A bird, a cat, a frog?

  Fred Flintstone : Uh, no, i-it's not me. It's my friend. He thinks he's a dog.

  Mesmo : Where is he?

  Fred Flintstone : At the dog pound.

  Mesmo : That figures.

• [Wilma and Betty are watching television] 

  Announcer : [on TV]  And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's a great pleasure to bring you Mesmo the world's greatest hypnotist.

  [Fred and Barney dash in, sit on their wives' laps, not noticing them, and change the channel] 

  Baseball Broadcaster : It's a line drive to left field, and O'Toole is rounding first. He's starting for second.

  Fred Flintstone : Come on, O'Toole, slide, slide!

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah, Wilma?

  Wilma Flintstone : Will you kindly get off my lap?

  Fred Flintstone : Huh?

  [turns around] 

  Fred Flintstone : Wilma, what are you doing here?

  Wilma Flintstone : For your information, I was watching my favorite program, The Great Mesmo.

  Betty Rubble : Don't you think you're a little old to be sitting on Mommy's lap, Barney?

  [Fred and Barney get off their wives] 

  Fred Flintstone : I'm sorry, Wilma. I guess I didn't see you.

  [chuckles nervously] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Well, you see me now, and I'll thank you to put my program back on.

  Fred Flintstone : But, Wilma, Barney and I are watching the ball game. We always watch the game on Saturday. You know that.

  Betty Rubble : Right, you watch the ball game at our house and we watch The Great Mesmo here. That's the deal we made, isn't it?

  Fred Flintstone : Well, yeah, but... but... but... but...

  Wilma Flintstone : If you like sports so much, Fred, why don't you be one and stick to our deal?

  Fred Flintstone : But... But... But, eh, but me and Barn... we... Oh, come on, Barney. Women always win when they appeal to a man's chivalry. What gripes me is I bet in the future people will think we cavemen had it all our own way with women.

• Dog Catcher : Sure, I've seen your program, Mr. Mesmo. Oh, but let me get this straight. You wanna change a dog into a human, right?

  Mesmo : Well, to speed things up, yes, that's right.

  Dog Catcher : Okay, try it, but I got 10 bucks that says you can't do it.

  Mesmo : It's a bet. Now which one is it, Mr. Flintstone?

  Fred Flintstone : [looking at Barney among the dogs]  There he is. There, the cute one. The one sitting up in the corner.

  Mesmo : Mm-hmm. Attention! Attention!

  Fred Flintstone : He's looking right at you, Mezz.

  Mesmo : When I clap my hands, you are no longer a dog. You are a human.

  [Mesmo claps his hands and Barney reverts back to normal] 

  Barney Rubble : Hey, Fred, what happened? Uh. What am I doing down here with all these mutts?

  Fred Flintstone : You did it, Mezz! Barney ain't a dog no more!

  Mesmo : Yeah, well, just keep it quiet. Hmm?

  [Mesmo, with ten dollars, leaves with Fred and Barney] 

  Dog Catcher : Well, there they go. That Mesmo is good, or it's a racket. Either way, I'm out 10 bucks.

  Shaggy Dog : Hey, you with the funny hat. Look down here. We demand our release, Warden.

  Short Dog : Yeah, I wanna see the public defender.

  Shaggy Dog : I know my rights. I wanna use the phone.

  Short Dog : Let us out, or I'll sue the city.

  Dog Catcher : Oh, no! The dogs think they're human now!

  Shaggy Dog : What's he talking about? There's no dogs around here.

  Dog Catcher : Oh, it just isn't my day! Just isn't my day!
