Attaboy, Rocky, you can lift it.

That's it!

'Attaboy.'

Okay, Fred.

Easy now.

Get ready to release it, Fred.

Easy now.

Let go!

Oh, boy, the boss.

I gotta get that rock off him, but it makes no sense.

The minute I get the rock off him, he'll fire me.

(Fred) 'Wilma!'

'Wilma!'

Oh, Wilma!

Now, we'll rinse the suds off, Dino, and it's all over.

'Nice, Dino.'

[barking]

(Fred) 'Wilma!'

(Wilma) 'Okay, Fred. I'll be right there.'

'Don't go away, Dino.'

The minute I get my hands in water, that man wants something.

Okay, Wilma, where is it?

(Wilma) 'Where is what, Fred?'

My lodge hat.

I got a meeting tonight at the Loyal Brotherhood

of Water Buffaloes.

(Wilma) 'Did you look in the closet, Fred?'

Oh, boy. "Did you look in the closet, Fred?"

Of course, I looked in the closet. What do you take me for?

Some kind of a nincom...poop.

How do they do it?

And every time.

Now, hold still, Dino. You have to get dried off.

I don't want you to catch cold.

[barking]

(Fred) 'I'm all set to go, Wilma.'

Okay, Fred, see you later.

I'll be home right after the meeting, Wilma.

[growling]

Dino, no. Come back!

Oh, no, stop! Cut it out, Dino!

Dino, it's me, your master.

- Dino! Dino, stop! - Heel, Dino.

Heel! Dino! Down, boy.

I-I'm your master.

- 'Heel, I say.' - Dino, stop it.

Come on, I'll have to lock you up in the kitchen.

[growling]

Every time I put this hat on

that animal flips his lid.

'You know you're supposed to keep him tied up'

'on lodge night.'

I forgot, Fred. I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, I'll go over and get Barney.

- 'So long, Wilma.' - Bye, Fred.

Hey, Barney.

Be right with you, Fred, brother Water Buffalo.

Put it there, brother.

The secret Water Buffalo handshake.

'Now, the secret password, brother.'

[both growl]

Ah, that kinda gives you a certain feeling.

- Doesn't it, Barney? - Sure does, Fred.

It also gives me a certain feeling, Wilma.

Yeah, me too. But I hope it goes away.

[Betty laughing]

Careful of your horns, Barney.

These hats are murder on convertible tops.

"Water Buffalo Hall." Here we are, Barney.

[wheels screeching]

A lot of the buffaloes are here already, Fred.

Yep, I guess we're just in time.

Greetings, brother Buffaloes!

This is a very important meeting tonight.

And as King Buffalo

I'm glad to see the entire herd showed up.

And now, for the big news.

Right here, at Water Buffalo Hall

we're going to have a beauty contest.

Yabba-dabba-doo!

Stabba-daggy-doo-doo!

(King Buffalo) 'And we're gonna need judges.'

[audience cheering]

Hold it! Hold it!

You can't all be judges.

We have to be fair about it.

'So I'm gonna pull the names from this hat.'

'And the first name is..'

'...Fred Flintstone!'

Yabba-dabba-doo!

And the other judge will be..

...Barney Rubble!

Yabba-dabbly-dee-doo-doo!

[audience cheering]

Nice going, King.

Yeah, they couldn't lose.

Theirs were the only two names in the hat.

We need two judges

and all the others are too smart to take the job.

Heh heh. Yeah.

Any guy who'll judge a beauty contest

in his own hometown is out of his cotton-pickin' mind.

Well, Barney, how lucky can two guys get?

Yeah, I can't believe we won, Fred.

Boy, all those guys were jealous when they picked our names.

I never had any experience judging beauties before, Fred.

Well, Barney, a guy spends his life judging beauties.

It's a lifetime of experience that began when you were a kid

and whistled at pretty girls.

- I whistled at a girl once. - 'Yeah? And?'

And, uh, she turned around

and walked back to where I was standing.

Yeah, yeah, go on.

'It was such a romantic setting.'

'The light from the poolroom made her look etheral.'

- You mean "Ethereal." - No, etheral.

She knocked me out, bam.

[both laugh]

[wheels screeching]

What's the matter with us, Barney?

Our wives won't let us judge no beauty contest.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, Fred.

It's all over.

We gotta call up that King Buffalo right away.

Hello, King Buffalo. Uh, this is Fred Flintstone.

Say, Your Majesty, uh

Barney Rubble and I have to drop out

of that beauty judging thing.

[indistinct shouting]

But, but-but-but, King, you wouldn't do that.

[indistinct shouting]

- You would? - 'Yeah.'

Okay.

Yeah, we'll go through with it.

What'd he say, Fred? What'd he say?

'He said we do it or pay the supreme penalty.'

- You mean-- - 'That's right.'

Turn in our hats.

I can't think of life without being a Water Buffalo, Fred.

Me neither, Barney.

- But all's not lost, Barn! - It isn't?

'No. We don't have to tell Wilma and Betty a thing.'

And, uh, if we're lucky, they won't hear about it.

We got it made.

We will be picking the winner in the beauty contest.

Boy, some lucky girl

is gonna be Miss Water Buffalo for a whole year.

Yep, thanks to us and our keen eye

for covenant pulchritude.

[laughing]

- Good morning, Wilma. - 'Good morning, Betty.'

Come on in. I'm in the laundry.

Just putting some things in the washing machine.

Nice day for drying.

'That's why I wanna get them out early.'

I might be able to do the ironing this afternoon.

I hate ironing.

Oh, me, too.

I just stand there and think and think and think.

[squawking]

[upbeat music]

- How was Barney this morning? - Fine.

Ever since coming home from the lodge meeting last night

he's been bubbling over, humming and whistling.

Come to think of it, Fred's been over-jovial too.

And while they're in such a good mood..

Hmm?

Let's go downtown and try on some dresses.

Oh, good idea, Wilma.

I saw the darlingest leopard skin frock

with lizard shirring at the Bon-Ton.

[instrumental music]

Attaboy, Rocky, you can lift it.

That's it!

Attaboy.

Okay, Fred.

Easy now.

'This way a little.'

'Easy, easy.'

Okay, boss.

That's it!

Get ready to release it, Fred.

Easy now.

Let go!

thud

Oh, boy, the boss.

There goes my job.

I gotta get that rock off him, but it makes no sense.

The minute I get the rock off him, he'll fire me.

[groans]

Flintstone, you're fired.

'Uh, hey, Flintstone now, wait a minute.'

'I, uh, just thought of something.'

'Look, I was only kidding, Freddie boy.'

It was my fault. Get back up there on that dinosaur, boy.

Gosh! Thanks, Mr. Slate.

Anything you ever want me to do, just name it.

Okay. Uh, you can help me

with a little problem I have, Fred.

(Fred) 'Sure thing, boss.'

Well, uh, I have a daughter, Fred

and, uh, heh heh

'it, uh, it seems she's entered in a beauty contest.'

'And I understand you're a judge, Fred.'

'Now, I'm not trying to influence you, Fred.'

I hate guys that do that.

But I'd also hate to see my daughter crushed.

Her high hopes dashed.

[chuckles] Why should I talk like this?

You call it as you see it, Fred.

'Do what's right.'

'And you'll still have a job next Monday morning.'

'Uh, here's my Bessie's picture, foreman.'

Oops! Ha ha.

Me and my big mouth.

I just can't keep a secret.

Oh, boy.

Well, I'll take a look at Bessie's picture. Maybe..

Oh, no! Eek!

Well, my fellow judge oughta be along soon.

(male 1) 'Psst. Hey, Bud, come here.'

(Barney) 'Uh, who, me?'

Yeah, you.

I understands you're Barney Rubble, right?

Uh, yeah, I'm Barney Rubble.

(male 1) 'The beauty contest judge, eh?'

Well, yes.

Well, I'm Big Louie.

B-B-Big Louie? Mr. Records himself.

Right. And that girl over there is Cookie.

- 'Say hello, Cookie.' - Hello, Cookie.

(Big Louie) 'I promised Cookie she's gonna win the beauty contest.'

And Big Louie never welches on a promise.

Ask anybody.

Be seeing you, Rubble.

In the Winner's Circle, Saturday night.

'Say goodbye, Cookie.

- 'Goodbye, Cookie.' - Uh, goodbye, Cookie.

Goodbye, Barney.

[wheels screech]

(Fred) 'Hey, Barney, let's go.'

And then Big Louie said he promised Cookie

she was going to win.

Oh, I-I'm scared of that guy, Fred.

We better vote for Cookie or I'm gonna get it.

Uh, what do you say, Fred?

Well, I'd say I'd never heard of such

abject clinching in all my life.

I'm ashamed of you, Barney.

It's up to us citizens to resist a guy like Big Louie.

We can't let that element force us.

We can't compromise our integrity.

We gotta stand up and defy him.

We give in to intimidation once and we're lost.

Barney, my boy

'we have a job to do, and we'll do it.'

- 'Right?' - Right, Fred.

We'll vote for whoever we want.

'Right. And we wanna vote for Bessie.'

Bessie? Who's Bessie?

My boss' daughter.

Your boss' daughter?

You mean, you'd, you'd let me get knocked off

so you could get in good with your boss?

Oh, the way you say it, Barney, sounds bad.

'Okay, you got another way of saying it?'

Uh, no, but I sure wish I had.

Well, I'm voting for Cookie. She's a pretty lady.

'And I'm voting for Bessie.'

'She's, uh, she's my boss' daughter.'

'Hey, wait a minute, Barney. We're alright.'

They both win.

- Both win? - Yeah.

Photo finish, a two-way tie.

Hey, that would do it, Fred.

Even Big Louie'd settle for a tie.

Yeah, hey-hey-hey!

We got nothing to worry about.

That foreman's job's all mine right now, Barney.

Why, no miss. Mr. Flintstone isn't home yet.

Is there any message?

(female 1) 'Will you please give him my measurement?'

- Your what? - 'My measurement.'

Your measurements?

Well, okay, let's have 'em.

- 'Uh, 44..' - 44..

- '23.' - 23.

- '34..' - 34.

Got it.

Are you sure that 44 is correct?

- 'If you'll wait, I'll check.' - Yes, I'll wait.

[humming]

- 'I'm sorry.' - Yes?

- 'It's 45.' - 45?

'Will you give him my message, please?'

Yes, don't worry, miss.

I'll give it to him.

In more ways than one.

(Fred) Oh, Wilma, I'm home.

Sweetheart, was there any mail for me today?

'No. Just a phone call.'

Oh, who from?

- 'Some girl.' - Some girl?

Her measurements are 45-23-34.

That's some girl, alright.

Okay, Fred. Who is she?

(Fred) 'I don't know, Wilma! Honest, I don't know!'

Why would she call up to give you her measurements?

Well, uh..

[chuckles]

You know how some women are.

- They just can't keep a secret! - 'A secret?'

No one could keep measurements like that a secret!

It wouldn't be easy.

Fred, we're going to get to the bottom of this.

? Scooby dooby doo-doo ?

? Scooby dooby doo doo doo ?

? Scooby doo doo ?

? Bee dooby bee doo doo ?

? Bee doo...doo ??

Oh, uh, pardon me, uh, uh..

The name is Betty, your wife.

Oh, you must remember.

You know, with the meals, washing

keeping the house clean.

Think hard, it'll come to you.

- Oh, Betty. - There.

I told you you'd remember.

Oh, cut it out, Betty. And, uh, who's your friends?

(Betty) 'They're no friends of mine, they're waiting to see you.'

Oh, no, you don't.

You're going right into them.

W-w-what do they want, Betty?

How do I know?

They said they had something to show you.

I don't know what it could be.

Well, let's find out. I'm curious.

Uh, hello, ladies. You wanted to show me something?

Well, yes, Mr. Rubble.

We'd like your honest opinion.

(female 1) 'What do you think of our chances?'

[instrumental music]

(Betty) 'Your chances for a broken arm are great.'

Now, you two get out.

'Out! Out! Out!'

splat splat splat

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

(Betty) 'Okay, Barney, start talking.'

Uh, talking? Okay.

Uh, hi, Betty, uh, what's new?

splat

Okay, Fred.

I believe you when you say you don't know that girl

who called up, okay.

[knock on door]

That'll be Betty.

Come on in, we're out in the kitchen.

gulp gulp

[coughing]

What's the matter?

[choking]

Oh! Oh, those choking spells are terrible.

[gasping]

Quick! Get him a glass of water.

[coughing]

There, you'll be alright in a minute, Fred.

Oh, thank you very much.

[coughing]

This will cool you off, hot shot.

Now, you get out of here.

'Stay out!'

You come around here again

and I'll pull that blonde hair out

by it's black roots.

Barney never lies to me

so I believe him when he says he doesn't know those girls.

That's Fred's story too.

But it's a little weird.

Last night, we walked down to the market

and every girl we passed waved at Fred.

'Some whistled.'

'Just as if he was a movie star, like Cary Granite.'

Well, Wilma, maybe Fred's got that je ne sais pas

that certain something.

Maybe he has that certain something.

But wouldn't you think I would've noticed it

after all these years?

Well, Fred, tonight's the big night.

Yeah, Barney. And what a week this has been.

Strange girls whistling and waving at me.

Yeah, me too, Fred.

A thing like this just wouldn't happen

when a guy's young and single.

Well, you're not kidding, Fred.

When I was single, sometimes I dialed the correct time number

on the phone just to hear a girl's voice.

'You too, Barney. Ha ha.'

I knew it was only a recording, but I didn't care.

[wheels screeching]

(Barney) 'It's too bad we had to deceive them'

'about the beauty contest.'

Well, we had to uphold our Buffalo secrecy oath.

(Barney) Yep, that's right.

But believe me, Barney, from now on

'no more deception, right?'

(Barney) 'Right, Fred.'

The girls aren't gonna let us out

to go to any meeting tonight, Fred.

- What'll we do? - Very simple.

We get 'em to watch television

and when they're interested in a program

we grab our Buffalo hats and run out the back door.

Isn't that a little deceitful, Fred?

Well, in this case, it's more like self-preservation, Barney.

Thanks for drying the dishes, Barney.

My pleasure, Betty.

Uh, now, uh, let's watch television, huh?

I don't feel like watching television.

(Barney) 'Oh, but you have to watch television, Betty.'

Barney, what's the matter with you?

I'm going over to Wilma's

and I don't wanna hear any more about it.

Barney acted mighty strange tonight.

He wanted me to watch television instead of coming over here.

That's odd.

Fred insisted that I watch television tonight also.

[Dino growling]

- What's that? - 'Sounds like Dino.'

'And some animal, fighting.'

- Dino? - Heel, Dino.

Heel!

Dino, stop it! Stop it!

(Wilma) 'Dino, stop it!'

Dino! Down, down.

Get up, Fred.

That animal has got to go.

What are you doing out here, Fred?

I'm going to a special Water Buffalo meeting

'and that's that.'

Something fishy's going on.

Yeah.

I don't believe the Buffaloes are meeting tonight.

Well, we could check and see, Wilma.

Right.

I don't remember a Water Buffalo meeting

ever being held on a Saturday night.

Well, we'll know pretty soon, Betty.

Look, Wilma.

"Water Buffalo Hall."

It's open.

(Wilma) 'Look at all the cars.'

Well, the boys were telling the truth.

As long as we're here, let's go to the back door

and take a peek at what's so fascinating about this place.

Do you think we should, Wilma?

(Wilma) 'No, but let's go anyway.'

All we can do is take a fast look, Betty.

I know. "No women allowed." That's their strict rule.

Looks like the strict rule's been suspended tonight.

I'll say.

'Why don't you go in, Wilma'

'and find out what this is all about.'

What did you find out, Wilma?

It's a beauty contest.

- Well, that lets us out. - Say, Betty.

Fred and Barney are out in the audience somewhere.

- 'So?' - Well.

Just for a gag let's walk

across the stage with the rest of the girls.

[giggles] 'It'll give Fred and Barney the shock of their lives.'

Oh, but Wilma, we have no bathing suit.

They supply them here.

All contestants wear the same kind of suit.

Let's get ours, Betty.

As King Buffalo

I signal the start of our beauty contest.

Hit it, Jean Charlie!

[piano music]

? Where is she? ?

[whistling]

? Where is she? ?

[whistling]

? We search high and low for Miss Water Buffalo ?

? To wear the beauty crown ?

? With charming grace ?

? And pretty face ?

? The pride of Bedrock town ??

Well, here we are, Barney, right up on stage.

And the beauties will pass right by us.

(Big Louie) Psst. Hey, Rubble.

Remember, Rubble, the Winner's Circle or else..

It's Big Louie and his boys.

'W-w-what'll we do?'

Uh, uh, uh..

- 'Flintstone.' - Uh, uh, uh...

(Fred) 'Y-y-yes, yes, Mr. Slate.'

Remember, foreman Flintstone

my problem is your problem.

Say, Fred, I've been thinking that Big Louie

isn't gonna intimidate me.

I'm gonna vote honest.

Barney, I'm proud of you.

Agreed then, we vote honest.

Right, Fred.

Yabba-dabba-doo.

Zooby-dooby.

Whoo-wee-who-bloohoo.

And whoa-wee, whoa-wee.

It's our turn, Wilma, Go on out.

Oh, Betty, this is ridiculous.

Well, we can't back out now.

[both giggling]

Barney, look!

- Betty, look! - Fred and Barney.

- Wilma! - And Betty.

It's a tie for first place.

Our wives look best to us.

[clamoring]

Head for the car, girls. That mob is out of control.

Wait for me, Barney.

Okay, slow down, Barney. We shook them off.

We'll have to return these crowns, boys.

We disqualify for being married women.

But thanks to a couple of smart judges..

Who know what's good for them..

(both) We're beauty queens for a day.

Wrong. You're queens every day.

- Right, Fred? - Right, Barney-boy.

? We searched high and low for Miss Water Buffalo ?

? To wear the beauty crown ?

? With charming grace and pretty face ?

? The pride of ?
