That's the last one. Thanks, Henry.

[Fred laughing]

Uh-oh! When Fred laughs like that it usually means trouble.

[laughing]

Fred. Fred, what's so funny?

[laughs] Dino. Ha-ha-ha!

He, he's trying to get out to burry his bone.

[Fred laughing]

bark bark

crash

[laughing]

Well, don't just stand there. Help him out.

Okay, okay!

Oh, that Dino. Always has to burry a bone.

Come on, honey. Eat the nice cactus mush.

Open your mouth. It's good for you, Pebbles.

Full of nice calcium and vitamins.

Mm! See how mommy likes it?

Yum, yum-yum, yum-yum, mm!

Mm, mm! Cactus mush is so good!

Oh, Pebbles!

Fred, would you feed Pebbles her mush?

She always cleans her bowl up for you.

Well, I don't stand for any nonsense.

- I'm fun! - Good.

While you're feeding Pebbles, I'll clean off the table.

Alright. Come on, little Pebbly-poo, eat your mush.

Come on, Pebbles, it's, it's..

Mm! Say, that is good!

They're making this kiddy food better all the time.

Hm! Hm!

What is that elusive flavor?

Sassafras fruit?

No, no, that's not it.

Mm! Mm!

Yes, it must be something new! Delicious!

How's Pebbles doing with her mush, Fred?

Why, it's empty!

Ah, you certainly have a way with her, Fred.

[babbling]

Gosh, Fred, isn't that frustrating?

[chuckles] She's trying to tell me something

and I can't understand her.

Ah, I'll be glad when she can talk.

T-t-talk? Oh, boy!

[chuckles] That'll be the day!

That'd be fine. See you later.

That was Betty. She and Barney are coming over.

Well, that's hardly a news flash.

They're over here every night.

Why can't they stay home where they belong?

Oh, Fred, they love Pebbles and want to see her.

I know, but that Barney is sickening about it.

He makes a complete fool of himself with his nutty actions.

Look, Pebbles, I'm a bird. Caw-caw, caw-caw-caw!

I'm a horsey.

[neighing]

Look, Pebbles, I'm a, I'm an upside-down cake.

[bawling]

Oh, Fred, you've made Pebbles cry.

Well, it just shows she's getting wise

to that hokey stuff of Barney.

There, there, baby, don't cry.

When Barney goes into his act tonight

and Pebbles cries, I'll grab him..

...and give him that deep six

right out the front door.

bang

- Hiya, folks. - Hi, Wilma.

Hiya, Pebbles. Here's your Uncle Barney.

Uh, where's Fred?

Behind the door, I think, Barney.

(Barney) Well, hiya, Fred. Uh, what are you doing there?

Playing hide and seek. What else?

Well, if you say so.

But you look a little silly, Fred.

Come to Aunt Betty, Pebbles.

Hey, hey, look, Pebbles. I'm a bird!

squawk squawk squawk

Hey, hey, look, Pebbles. I'm a horsey.

[neighing]

Hey, look, Pebbles. I'm an upside-down cake.

[laughing]

Pebbles gets a real charge out of Barney.

You know, when Fred does that, Pebbles cries.

[laughing]

- Uh, n-now watch, Pebbles. - Barney.

Uh, just a minute, Fred.

I've gotta do more stunts for Pebbles.

First there's a little stunt you're gonna do for me.

- What's that, Fred? - Get out of here!

- Fred! - Out, out, out!

Uh, what are you trying to say, Fred?

And stay out!

slam

I'll have you know I'm Pebbles' godfather.

I'm seeing my lawyer about that in the morning.

But, Fred, you don't understand.

Mrs. Rubble, may I have my baby?

- Ah, oh, of course, Fred. - Thank you.

Now get out of my house!

Come on, Betty. I can tell when we're not welcome.

Get your own baby and leave mine alone.

(Wilma) Fredrick Flintstone

that was the most disgraceful performance

I have ever seen in my life.

- Give me that baby. - But, Wilma, I--

Thank goodness she's too young to understand.

I wouldn't want her to know

her father made our best friends feel bad

just because we've been blessed with a child and they have not.

Well, I just, I-I only..

Oh, Wilma, you're right.

I'm-I'm a, I'm-I'm a heel.

No, no, you're not really, Fred.

You're jealous, thoughtless, loud mouth, overbearing

quick-tempered, possessive, but not a heel.

You're right, Wilma, I'll-I'll go right over

and apologize to Betty and Barney.

I-I am sorry.

- 'Oh, Fred!' - Yeah?

I love you, Fred.

Mwah!

Oh, boy, am I ever a lucky guy to have Wilma and Pebbles.

A guy that's jealous, thoughtless and all the rest

doesn't deserve such luck.

[sobbing]

Oh, there, there, Betty, uh, but Fred didn't mean it.

I know.

We've been over there every night since Pebbles came.

He should've told us off long ago.

[sobbing]

Yeah, that's right, we're so anxious to have a baby

we take it out on Fred and Wilma.

Hi, Betty. Barney.

Me and my big mouth.

Will you forgive me? I'm a heel.

It was our fault, too, Fred.

- Uh, you're no heel, Fred. - I'll say not.

Uh, you're jealous, thoughtless, loud mouth

overbearing and possessive--

Hey, you forgot quick-tempered.

- Well, yeah, yeah, that, too. - But you're no heel, Fred.

Gee, thanks! I-I'll see you in the morning.

- 'Uh, goodnight, Fred.' - Goodnight, Fred.

[gasps] Look, Barney, a falling star!

- Yeah. - 'Ooh.'

- 'Make a wish quick, Barney.' - 'A wish?'

They say if you wish on a falling star

your wish will come true.

No kiddin'!

[instrumental music]

Hey, uh, what did you wish for, Betty? Huh, what?

I can't tell you. I-it'd spoil the wish.

A-and don't tell me your wish either, Barney.

I won't. But I bet you've all guessed what we both wished for.

[laughing]

[squawking]

I'll be glad when real roosters develop.

I'll sleep in every mornin'.

(Betty) 'Would you get the morning paper, Barney?'

(Barney) Okay, Betty.

Well, well, wonders never cease.

The news boy finally put the paper on the porch.

Hm! The Bedrock Dodgers blew another one last night.

[baby bawling]

Oh, no, not another basket full of kittens.

[baby laughs]

Uh, t-t-that's no kitten!

The-the bay.. A bay, a baby!

[gibberish]

Hoo, gee, if I'd have known

that's all there was to getting a baby

I'd have wished on a falling star long ago.

[laughing] Hey, hey, hey, hey, Betty, look!

I can't right now.

How do you want your egg this morning?

Congratulations, Betty. You are a mother.

That's not funny, Barney.

- 'Whoa-whoa, look!' - Huh?

crash

[laughs]

Now I know how it feels to be hatched.

squawk squawk

[laughs]

Barney, will you please stop with the falling-star stuff?

But we both wished, Betty.

That's why it came with a double whammy, the zoom, zoom!

Oh, Barney, that's not our baby. He belongs to someone.

Here's a note in the basket.

"Please take good care of Bamm-Bamm."

Bamm-Bamm? That's an odd name.

"He is an orphan and needs a good home

and the peaceful surroundings of Bedrock!"

Whee! Oh, Barney, we've got our very own baby!

Hey, look, Betty. This must belong to Bamm-Bamm.

[chuckles] No, it couldn't. He'd never be able to lift it.

[babbling]

[Barney laughing]

(Barney) This must be what he wants.

- Oh, he's all boy, that fella. - Isn't he, darling?

Bam, bam, bam! Bam, bam, bam!

(Betty) 'Stop him, Barney.'

Bam, bam, bam! Bam, bam, bam!

(Barney) No-no-no, no, Bamm-Bamm, don't do that!

Barney, don't speak mean to him.

- Reason with him. - Okay.

Now, Bamm-Bamm, you mustn't hit anything with your..

Ouch! Hey, let go of my finger!

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

- Barney, are you alright? - Yeah.

[laughs] Well, now I know how he got the name of Bamm-Bamm.

[laughs] He's all muscle!

[laughs]

Hey, Barney, you're going to work today or not?

Oh, uh, sorry I'm late, Fred. I was playing with the baby.

Well, that's no excuse. Well..

Hey, hold it. What baby?

Our baby. Betty's and mine. Our son arrived this morning.

Well, congratulations!

But you could've let a guy in on it, you know?

Oh, thanks, Fred. Hey, uh, let's get going.

Hey, hey, Barn, come back here!

We're taking the day off!

We've gotta celebrate your son's arrival!

Wait till I get Wilma.

Wilma, Wilma!

Yabba-dabba-doo!

Wi-i-l-m-a-a!

Oh, Freddie makes a big deal out of every little thing.

[laughs]

Hey, uh, hey, uh, I-I..

I'm a father! Uh..

thud

Betty Rubble, you little sphinx.

How closed-mouth can you get?

But, Wilma, the baby was only found on the doorstep

about 20 minutes ago.

Didn't Barney tell Fred?

No! Found? Doorstep?

Uh-huh. Uh, here's the note that came with him.

"He's an orphan, good home.."

Uh, uh.. "Bamm-Bamm?"

Mm-hmm, he's named that for a good reason, too.

[chuckling]

I suppose the girls will all get together for a baby shower.

Oh, no! That's out! No showers.

He's a bath-tub kid for a couple of years yet.

- Right, Bamm-Bamm? - Bamm-Bamm?

Yeah, that's his name, Fred. And it fits him.

Fits him, that's ridiculous.

Oh, I'll show you. Let him hold your finger.

Okay, here.

[babbling]

(Fred) Hey, hey, ooh!

Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

Whoa, that Bamm-Bamm's real strong for a baby, huh, Fred?

[Barney laughing]

Bamm-Bamm's real strong. Period.

[laughs]

Since you wanna keep Bamm-Bamm

you should adopt him legally, Betty.

Oh, we are, we're going down

to the Child Welfare Authority this afternoon.

Good. Oh, Barney.

Put Bamm-Bamm on the floor next to Pebbles.

Oh, do you think we should?

Well, uh, okay, but, uh, suppose

Bamm-Bamm doesn't like Pebbles?

If they're going to be neighbors

we've got to find out.

(Barney) 'Oh, yeah. Um, uh..'

Ms. Pebbles Flintstone

I'd like to present Mr. Bamm-Bamm Rubble.

[babbling]

slurp

creek

[laughing]

[laughing]

- Hey, uh, they like each other. - How about that?

[instrumental music]

[babbling]

(Wilma) 'I think Pebbles has a crush on Bamm-Bamm.'

(Betty) I'll say. She's following him out into the yard.

- Oh, isn't that cute? - I'll say.

[chuckles] Look, Betty, Bamm-Bamm's trying to teach Pebbles to walk!

Phew, that was close.

T-t-they're going into the next yard.

Say, isn't that where that mean cat lives?

- That's right! - Oh, boy!

[intense music]

chomp chomp chomp

[babbling]

[snarling]

[babbling]

[growling]

thud

[groaning]

Wow! Did you see that?

Bamm-Bamm saved Pebbles!

That's my boy who did that.

Drive slower, Barney. I don't want Bamm-Bamm shook up.

But Wilma and Fred will be waiting for us.

Let them wait. Now, please slow down.

Well, okay.

But if I go any slower, I'll be backing up.

"Child Welfare Authority."

Well, this is it.

It's sure taking Betty and Barney a long time to get here.

Well, Betty wouldn't let Barney drive on the freeway.

So he's probably sneaking down every goat path

so little Bamm-Bamm won't get hurt.

Oh, here they come now!

Yup, slow, but sure!

Hiya, Wilma, Fred.

It's about time you got here.

Oh, yeah, I know, but you can't make much time

on those goat paths.

[laughs] You see, I wasn't kidding.

Well, let's go adopt your baby.

Betty and Barney have been in with the counselor over an hour.

Yeah, how long does it take to adopt a baby anyhow?

We want to do everything according to law, ma'am.

Well, the law is that the baby is a ward of the city of Bedrock

until your application for adoption has been processed

and your character qualifications

have been thoroughly checked.

Uh, d-does that mean we'll have Bamm-Bamm back soon?

Well, I'd say the probabilities are excellent.

Alright, orderly, you can take the baby now.

You should be hearing from us in about a week.

Goodbye, Bamm-Bamm.

Yeah, we'll spring you soon, son.

[chuckles] Real cute baby, eh?

You see one, you've seem 'em all.

Oh, yeah? Well, this baby is different.

- You'd have to show me. - Oh, he'll show you.

Let him squeeze your finger, he's a lot different.

Okay, kid, squeeze my finger.

- Come on, Barney. - Yeah, just a minute, Betty.

(male #1) 'Oh, ow!'

(Bamm-Bamm) 'Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!'

I bet that wise guy thinks Bamm-Bamm's different now.

[chuckling]

Don't feel too bad about leaving Bamm-Bamm, Betty.

Yeah, you'll have him back before you know it.

[instrumental music]

Hi, Wilma! I'm home!

Any news about Bamm-Bamm yet?

No, and it's been a week.

I guess they're still investigating

Barney's character.

Oh, brother, what a job!

I keep opening things I don't like the taste of.

Phooey.

I sure hope Barney passes his character test.

He's a cinch for that.

[chuckles] Look out the window.

Huh? Window?

[laughs]

I see what you mean.

'He's helping an old lady across the street.'

(Wilma) 'He's been doing it all day. Same old lady.'

[chuckles] He's paying her ten bucks a day.

[laughing] Barney's taking no chances.

He sure wants Bamm-Bamm back.

[both laughing]

What?

Our application is denied?

But, but..

Oh, dear!

Barney. Barney!

Here I am, Betty.

I just had a call from the Child Authority.

Well, uh, when do we get Bamm-Bamm?

We don't. They're giving Bamm-Bamm to someone else.

[sobbing]

Some-someone else?

Oh, dear, I just knew this job wasn't going to be steady.

Don't feel so bad, Betty.

There will be other falling stars.

I don't want falling stars. I want Bamm-Bamm.

Yeah, uh, come on, Betty

we'll go down to the Child Authority

and see about this.

[rattling]

screech

They won't get away with this.

We demand our baby Bamm-Bamm back!

You said we'd get him!

I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Rubble

but there was a prior application

for the first boy we took in.

- Prior application? - Yes.

And you may rest assured

Bamm-Bamm will be well taken care of.

The man who is adopting Bamm-Bamm is very well-to-do.

He's one of the Stonyfeller family.

- Stonyfeller? - How about that?

Our son will be a millionaire one day.

Oh, he sure made a success fast.

Bamm-Bamm Stonyfeller. Wow, a millionaire's son.

(Betty) Oh, come on home!

Oh, yeah, that's right. He won't be ours.

I think you should get a lawyer and fight this, Betty.

How can we fight the rich Stonyfellers?

They're the same as anybody else in the eyes of the court.

And the Child Authority plays no favorites because of wealth.

Wilma, you're right!

Barney and I are getting a lawyer.

[instrumental music]

(Barney) 'So that's why we want an attorney at law'

Mr. Bronto Berger.

Well, from what you tell me

we have a good chance to recover the child

on the grounds of nulli forfendi.

Nulli forfendi?

What's nulli forfendi mean, Mr. Berger?

It's simple. Finders keepers, losers weepers.

[laughs]

[instrumental music]

Well, here we are.

"Bedrock Municipal Court."

- Oh, I'm so nervous, Wilma. - Me, too, Betty.

Oh, look, isn't that Mr. Stonyfeller's car?

screech

So that's the fabulous Mr. Stonyfeller.

He looks like a nice man.

- Yes, sir, Mr. Stonyfeller. - Uh, thank you, George.

I won't need you for a couple of hours.

I guess those people have their problems, too.

Yeah, but one of them isn't money.

[instrumental music]

The Municipal Court of Bedrock is now in session.

Hm, "Case of child custody. Rubble versus Stonyfeller."

Are the plaintiffs ready?

Mr. and Mrs. Ruble are ready

Your Honor, Judge Stonyfeller.

Judge Stonyfeller?

Yeah, it's a big family.

Bu-bu-but he's the judge.

You won't find any of them shoveling coal.

Now, look, there's nothing to worry about.

The judge is mad at his brother.

[gavel pounding]

Order in the court. Are the defendants ready?

Yeah, I'm ready, but my wife was ill

and had to go to the doctor

and my lawyer hasn't showed up yet.

You were always disorganized as a kid and you still are.

Uh, you hear that, Betty? The judge is on our side.

- Oh, we're sure to win now. - Oh, no!

- Hey, what's the matter? - We've lost the case.

Why? What are you talking about?

Look who his lawyer is.

(Bronto) 'Terry Masonry.'

He never loses a case.

Oh, don't take it to your heart, Mr. Bronto Berger.

Uh, there's always a first time, and, and maybe this is it.

Uh, you are rather well fixed financially

are you not, Mr. Stonyfeller?

Mm, yes!

I'm, uh, well, uh, as some people put it

uh, I'm loaded.

So, uh, you, would be able to provide a good home

and support a son, exhibit A.

Oh, yes, my son, exhibit A, as you call him

will have the best of everything.

Uh, I, I object.

H-his name is Bamm-Bamm, not Exhibit A.

[gavel pounding]

Order in the court!

We have not established the name of exhibit A.

Order in the court!

Bam, bam, bam! Bam, bam, bam!

thud

Henceforth, exhibit A will be known as Bamm-Bamm.

[chuckles] I quite agree, Your Honor.

Uh, I'd like next to call Mr. Rubble.

Mr. Rubble, take the stand.

Now, you found Bamm-Bamm on your doorstep.

- Did you not, Mr. Rubble? - Oh, yeah.

I-I found him in a tasket, uh, tisket. I mean a basket.

Where were you on the night of July 10th of last year?

Uh, July the 10th? Gee, let's see.

July the 10th I was, uh, no.

Oh, gosh, uh, I, uh.. My memory fails me.

Your memory fails you, hm?

Suppose your memory failed you

just when it was time for the baby to be fed

that little baby could go hungry for days, Mr. Rubble.

Gosh.

Masonry is trying to make him look like a monkey.

And doing a good job, look.

[laughing]

I rest my case, Your Honor.

[laughing]

Thank you so much, Mr. Masonry.

You're welcome, Mr. Stonyfeller.

Mr. Stonyfeller, your wife is on the phone.

She's calling from the doctor's office.

Thank you. Uh..

Would you hold Bamm-Bamm for me, Mr. Masonry?

I'll go tell Mrs. Stonyfeller the good news.

My pleasure, sir.

Uh, Mr. Masonry

uh, could I hold him just once more, please?

Certainly, Mr. Rubble. Here you are.

I understand how you must feel.

Uh, so long, Bamm-Bamm.

Mwah!

Be a good boy for your new da-dad.

[sniffles]

Maybe I could, I could visit you sometime.

[sobbing]

screech

Mr. Masonary! Mr. Masonary!

Uh, Mrs. Stonyfeller just told me the doctor said

we're going to have our own baby!

So the only fair thing to do

is to let that nice Mr. Rubble have Bamm-Bamm.

Goodbye.

Oh, is it true, Mr. Masonary?

Can the Rubbles have Bamm-Bamm?

- Legally theirs? - One at a time, please.

[chuckles] First, here he is.

He's all yours, Mrs. Rubble, legally and permanently.

Oh, how wonderful!

Yabba-dabba-doo!

Oh, Barney, isn't it terrific?

Barney? Where's Barney?

There he is, outside. He didn't get the good news.

Life just isn't worth living.

Not without my little Bamm-Bamm.

[sobbing]

We gotta stop him. He's liable to do something nutty!

Oh, poor Barney, he's heartbroken.

Goodbye, cruel, wild--

Barney, wait! Give me that rope!

It turned out Mr. Stonyfeller's wife is expecting her own baby.

- 'So Bamm-Bamm is yours.' - No kiddin'!

Well, uh, I guess I won't be needing this rock anymore.

Yeow!

splash

Thanks for saving my life, Fred!

'I almost made a big mistake.'

Yeah, and saving your life was my big mistake.

Say hello to Uncle Fred, Bamm-Bamm.

He may look all wet, but he's really a nice guy.
