BarneyFrederick! Frederick! I HATE FREDERICK!
BarneyNow you listen to me Fred Flintstone
BarneyHee hee hee... whatever you say, Fred!
BarneyBut Fred, my legs are getting tired.
Are your legs tired or are you tired of living? Keep pumping!
BarneyI'm too pooped to pump.
It won't be long now. Barney's running out of gas.
I know. It'll be nice to have them back.
Of all the dumb tricks you stupid pesky blockhead Fred Flintstone that trampoline business takes the cake. I'm very disappointed in you. And you've deliberately disobeyed me… I do not want to jump the trampoline again. Do you hear me. This trampoline is for kids.
BarneyYes Wilma! Watch your mouth and stop calling me stupid pesky blockhead.
BarneyWhy should I fill the pool for that hippopotamus next door?
Because the wife of that hippopotamus next door happens to be my best friend, that's why.
[cut to Fred and Wilma]
The fence comes down because the wife of that little sawed off runt happens to be my best friend.
"Hm. Here's the crook of the month."15,000 reward for information leading to apprehension of Albert Bonehart. Wanted for questioning in disappearance of three former wives, Bonehart's fourth wife was last seen in a little railroad station in a valise, a ladies hatbox, and an executive's briefcase." Well, that's one way to send your wife to the country."Description, Bonehart is 5'10", has wavy hair, a natty mustache, and walks with a limp, due to an impediment, Bonehart speaks with a slight British accent, and has difficulty pronouncing 'good evening'."Approach with caution."No one I know. Oh, well.Good night, Wilma.
Good night, Fred.
It is a birdcage.
BarneyWhy would you keep a fishy in a birdcage?
Because it's a flying fishy. The world's rarest fishy.The legendary man-eating piranhakeet.
[chirping] [screeches]
BarneyThat's cute. Is this piranhakeet, uh, finger-trained?
Look out. Fingers, toes, whatever it can get its teeth into. It's the only flying man-eater in the world and the other scientists think it's extinct.
Which reminds me of my other motive for stopping by.May I use your phone to call Agatha? Mine's been disconnected.
Okay but don't forget to reverse the charges on your alibi.
Of course, You know.Certainly. Hello, pussycat. [Agatha chatters angrily] But, pussycat, I am sending the trunk with your weights and barbells. [angry chatter continues] I know you're out of shape. I didn't mean it that way, pussycat. [chattering continues]Of course, you need a workout. I'll try to be there as soon as I can.
Your suspicions are correct. The story had a happy ending. Science was indeed astounded by my discovery of a living man-eater which can be trained to eat wives, too, if necessary. Chirp for the people.
[chirping][screeches]
Please forgive its toothy grin. It acts just like a canary that ate the pussycat.Good evening.
Melville J. Muchrocks is a crook.
Muchrocks a crook? Are you sure?
Absolutely, he's wanted by the police.
We heard him described to a T.
Wilma, do you know where they went?
They said they were going to the amusement park and then to dinner. Oh my poor mother.
Don't you worry sweetheart, you leave it to me. Barney.
BarneyYeah Fred?
C'mon, let's go.
BarneyRight Fred.
You ever play football, Barney?
BarneyYeah Fred, why?
Because you're going to run interference while I intercept a proposal.
Have you made any plans, Fred?
Yeah. I figure we can sell the car and then we'll have enough money to eat.
BarneyWhile we're hitchhiking home.
Hitchhiking home?
Fred Flintstone! Did you lose all our money?
Yes Wilma.
OOH! NOO!
Hey, maybe a drink of 412-up will help! [Barney is still hiccuping] Hold it Barney! Here, drink this! [Forcibly pours the concoction down Barney's throat]
BarneyYuck! Woo, that tastes awful! I, uh, I feel kinda funny, Fred!
What do you mean, funny? [Barney starts wobbling and making weird noises] Barney! What's the matter? [Barney disappears] Oh boy... Barney, where are you?
BarneyI'm right in front of you! Boy, you must need glasses!
Huh?
BarneyThat drink did the trick, Fred! The hiccups have completely disappeared!
And you with them, Barney! You're invisible!
BarneyWhat’s up.
What's up? Any more interference from that domineering, loudmouth female brontosaurus, and she'll be what's up. Wham, Right into space.
BarneyOh, Wilma's mother's back, huh?
Of course not! I'm talking about that antiseptic refugee from the psycho ward! The nurse, Miss Frightenshale.
We got to get out of here before something worse happens.
BarneyYeah, like he could burp us to death.
[Adobe Dick burps]
Cut it out, Barney! Stop giving him ideas!
Look at Dino over there, look how he's lying there missing me.
[Dino is seen sleeping, dreaming about a female dinosaur kissing him]
Barney[sarcastically] Yeah, he sure looks like he's missing you all right. [chuckles]
Hey, Dino. Psst, psst. Dino. Here, Dino. Come to Daddy. [Dino wakes up] Come to Daddy and show him how much you miss him. [Dino walks over to Fred] That's a good Dino. You miss your dadda, don't you? [Dino growls and bites Fred's nose] Yeowch! [Dino walks away barking] How do you like that? And he's supposed to be man's best friend.
BarneyYeah, he sure didn't miss you that time, Fred. [laughs]
Diabogeny!
Where's your get up and go?
BarneyIt just got up and went.
Sometimes I just don't know what's the matter with men.
BarneyThat's easy - you women!
