'That's what I said. They're in trouble, alright.'

Alright, Fred, it's up to you.

- It's your move. - Okay, Wilma.

I'm glad this is the last hand. I'm sleepy.

(Wilma) 'Fred, Joe and Rita would like to go to sleep.'

- 'It's your play.' - 'Just a minute, I'm thinkin'.'

(Wilma) 'About what? You have only one card left.'

Oh, well, I think it's our trick with my Ace.

Sorry, Fred, I trump it.

Where did you get that trump? I counted all 12 out.

Begging your pardon, Mr. Culbertson

'but there are 13 trumps in a deck.'

Criticizing. Always criticizing.

(Wilma) 'Oh, brother.'

Uh, Fred, here's the score.

Looks like you're the only loser.

You owe me 38 cents.

Well, luckily we were only playing for small stakes.

Maybe next time we'll play for money.

[laughs] Uh, come on, pay up, Flintstone.

Oh, you sure have a load of beautiful trophies, Joe.

Mm-hm. What I'd give for one of these first place cups.

Uh, you wanna settle now or wait till next week?

First place in peanut pushing race.

Loyal Order of Water Buffalo's

annual picnic and athletic contests.

(Joe) 'Come on now, pay up. It's only 38 cents.'

Are you going to the Water Buffalo picnic this year, Rita?

Yes, and I just don't know what I'm gonna do

if Joe wins any more trophies.

Our house just isn't large enough.

Hmm, well, I haven't that to worry about

Fred's trophies are so small

'I've been using them for sewing thimbles.'

[Wilma laughs]

Now, you know, Wilma.

It's only because I haven't had a qualified partner.

Besides there's nothin' to laugh about.

"Rockhead and Slate. First place. Sack race."

"Rockhead and Quarry. First place. Weight lifting."

Joe, you must have more first place cups

than any man in the Lodge.

If you haven't got cash, I'll take a 38 cent check.

Who's the lucky man who's gonna team up with you this year, Joe?

Oh, I haven't made up my mind yet.

I-I might have made a mistake. You wanna add it up yourself?

Did you hear that, Wilma?

With the picnic only a week off, the champ of the Lodge

hasn't picked his partner yet.

I heard it. Pay up and let's go home.

Who's gonna be your partner, Fred?

(Fred) 'You mean who's been my partner?'

'Barney Rubble, who else.'

He's Fred's best friend and a very nice person.

But as we athletes all know, nice guys always finish last.

[yawns]

Ain't that true, Joe?

You gotta have the kinda drive

that you and I have to be a winner.

Wilma, will you stop yakkin' and let's go home?

'The Rockheads would like to retire.'

I'll never be able to do that on my winnings tonight.

- Good night, folks. - 'Good night, Rita.'

(Fred) 'Next week at our house, right?'

Hey you old cheapskate, how about my 38 cents?

[door slams]

Fred, that was a mean thing to say about Barney.

Mean? What did I say?

You know perfectly well.

You were suggesting to Joe that you'd like

'to be his partner at the picnic.'

Well, that's ridiculous.

Would I double-cross Barney, my best friend, just to win

a couple of those great big first place loving cups

'that would look so wonderful in our living room?'

That I can show off to everybody?

That would make me the proudest man in Bedrock?

- Now would I do that? - Yes.

[blubbering]

I don't know why you're complaining.

You and Barney have won your share of cups.

(Fred) 'Oh. Sure we have.'

"Flintstone and Rubble. Third place."

"Flintstone and Rubble. Second place."

"Flintstone and Rubble. Honorable mention."

I gotta move these cups away from the ice box.

Every time I look at 'em I lose my appetite.

But you only enter the contest to have fun.

'Let the nice guys have fun.'

'I would rather be miserable winning.'

But do you have to get so upset?

Don't you remember that old saying

"It's not that you won or lost but how you played the game."

[clattering]

Fred, you're not gonna eat again?

Oh, just a little snack, honey.

(Wilma) 'You know what that does to you. You'll dream all night.'

So I can dream about winning some first place cups

with Joe Rockhead, can't I?

You know the difference between me and Barney

is that he hasn't got what I got right here?

The urge to win.

He hasn't got what you've got here either.

The urge to eat.

And speaking of winning.

Did you pay Joe for the bridge game?

No, I must have forgot, but he should have reminded me.

Oh, brother.

[snoring]

[mumbling]

He's my husband and I oughta know he's a nice guy.

Nice guys finish last.

Fred Flintstone is my best friend.

He's the nicest guy I know.

Nice guys finish last.

Fred's a very nice guy.

Nice guys finish last.

And the booby prize again goes to Flintstone and Rubble.

A couple of nice guys who, of course, finished last.

[everybody laughing]

No, no, I'm not a nice guy. I'm a dirty, no good..

Fred!

What's the matter?

A-are you having a nightmare?

Well, uh, oh, oh.

Yeah, yeah.

Must have been that sandwich.

What time is it?

A quarter to four but I think I'm fast.

(Wilma) 'Goodnight, Fred.'

Goodnight, Wilma.

[snoring]

[dramatic music]

[snoring]

- 'Hello, Joe?' - Uh, hello, who is this?

'This is Fred Flintstone, pal. Did I wake you?'

Oh, it's alright.

I had to get up to answer the phone anyway.

Joe, baby, I just got an idea that's gonna make

you do hand springs.

'Oh, please, Fred.'

Not in the middle of the night.

'Now, now take it easy. Just relax.'

Relax? You kiddin'?

'Just tell me how this sounds to you.'

Ladies and gentlemen

may I present the winners of every event on the program?

The two greatest athletes ever produced

by the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes.

Joe Rockhead and Fred Flintstone!

How about it, Joe?

Joe?

He must be doin' them hand springs.

[snoring] 'Joe?'

'Joe? Did you get it, Joe?'

'Did you?

[snores] Huh? Hah?

Oh, w-what'd you say, Fred?

'I said Flintstone and Rockhead, side by side'

'shoulder to shoulder'

nose to nose. Is it a deal?

'Uh, yeah, yeah, sure, okay. Anything you say, Fred.'

'Let me go to sleep.'

'Sure, partner. Pleasant dreams.'

'Yabba-Dabba-Doo!'

(Rita) 'Joe, Joe, who were you talking to?'

(Joe) 'Fred Flintstone.'

- 'What did he want?' - Uh, nothing important.

He wanted to be my partner at the picnic

[yawns] and I told him okay.

[snoring]

I told him, what?

Oh, no.

Hup. Two. Hup. Two.

Hey, I gotta get in shape for that Water Buffalo picnic.

Hup. Two. Hup. Two.

I maybe small but I'm wiry.

[chuckles]

Breakfast will be ready in a minute, Barney.

(Barney) 'One minute is all I need to show Fred'

that the Rubble half of Flintstone and Rubble

is in the pink, and rarin' to go.

Hurry, dear, we're having scrambled dodo eggs and kippers.

I'll be back in a flash for the fish.

[chuckles]

What I'll do is give these second place wins to Barney

when I bring the big ones home.

(Wilma) 'Fred, if you're ready, I'll put your breakfast on the fire.'

How do you want the brontosaurus steak done?

(Fred) 'Now, hold it a minute, Wilma.'

I'm going over to tell Barney the deal

I made with Joe Rockhead.

(Wilma) 'Well, it's beyond me how you could do such a thing'

'to your best friend.'

What's one thing got to do with the other?

'Even though he's known as second place Rubble'

'he'll always be my best friend.'

'Why, there's nothin' in this whole wide world'

'I wouldn't do for that dear old pal of mine.'

'And I venture to say,

'there's nothin' he wouldn't do for dear old me.'

That's for sure.

(Wilma) 'I just know he'll feel very hurt when he hears'

'you're teaming up with Joe Rockhead.'

Wilma, I'm gonna prove to you that nothin' could come

between the true blue friendship that me and Barney

have for each other.

Hiya, Barney.

'I wanna chat with you.'

thud

bam

'Wilma, I'll take that steak now.'

How do you want it?

Raw, how else?

Fred!

True blue friend, my eye.

What a sorehead.

[wheels screech]

Oh, boy, why do you always wait

till Saturday to go marketing?

You know perfectly well why.

You get paid on Friday.

[barking]

Dino, get back in the car.

I'm sorry, baby. You're not allowed in the market.

Never mind whether he's allowed or not

he's gotta learn to obey. Get in the car, I said.

[Dino whining] And don't think that whining

is gonna get you any sympathy.

Come on, Wilma.

Daddy's right, baby.

You shouldn't have to be bribed to obey.

Here, boy.

Hey, wait a minute, Wilma

I wanna put his leash on him.

Now stop whining and do as I say.

Here, boy.

He'd be better trained if you didn't spoil him, Wilma.

Yes, Fred.

'And watch those automatic doors, Wilma.'

Yes, Fred.

[squawks] Oops, I slipped.

Well, nobody's perfect.

I think we've got everything, Joe.

Joe, are you listening to me?

If I disguise my voice, I could call Fred

and tell him his uncle in Texas just left him a fortune.

That might get him out of town fast.

(Rita) 'Will you please try to get Fred off your mind?'

Maybe, he'll get sick or somethin'.

Well, there's another way I could get rid of him

and the Jury might call it justifiable homicide.

Oh, every place I go

I hear that voice that keeps sayin'

[imitating Fred] "Hiya, partner."

"Hiya, partner."

Hiya, partner.

There it goes again.

(Fred) 'Well, pal, this is the big day'

'for the team of Flintstone and Rockhead.'

- 'How do you feel?' - Sick.

And with a little luck I'll get sicker.

Don't you worry about a thing.

I'm in good enough shape for the both of us.

Get a load of this.

(Joe) 'Yeah. Quite a load.'

Hit me, Joe. Hard as you like.

Hmm.

Well, uh..

No, I better not.

(Fred) 'Go ahead, it's like a rock.'

[laughs] Come on. Come on.

Afraid you'll hurt your hand, huh?

Well, alright, Fred.

If you say so.

Oh, boy. I can't look at this.

bam

(Fred) 'Ooh.'

(Joe) 'You sure can take it, partner.'

[Joe laughs]

Tsk tsk tsk.

Yeah, never felt a thing. Ooh!

(Fred) 'Wilma, will you hurry up?'

I don't wanna miss that first event.

'Relax, will you? There's plenty of time.'

Just keep warming up.

Need any help, Wilma? Our lunch is packed.

No, thank you, Betty. I'll be finished in a minute.

- 'Did Barney get a partner?' - He didn't even try.

He said if Fred wasn't his partner, it wouldn't be any fun.

Let's face it. The picnic won't be the same

with the boys not talking to each other.

- 'Men.' - Yeah.

- You can't live with them-- - 'Wilma.'

And you can't live wi..

[sighs] I sometimes wonder about the rest of that saying.

[Betty giggling] Ain't it the truth?

[both laugh]

[marching band music]

Remember, no members come through here

unless they are wearing the official

'Loyal Order of Water Buffalo hat.'

'Hold it, Flintstone.'

You know you can't get in here

without no official Loyal Order of Water Buffalo hat.

I got it in the back, some place, Charlie.

Well, put it on. You gotta wear it. That's the rule.

But I can't drive with it on.

'Rules are rules.'

Eh, put a badge on a guy and it goes to his head.

Fred, please.

[Fred mumbling]

Smart guy.

Barney, I just won't have you sitting around

'all day with that long face.'

Would my face be any shorter, if I stood up?

I'm sure glad the super market had a sale

on pterodactyl drumsticks, Betty.

You know what a huge appetite Fred

has on one of these picnics.

Yeah. I wish Barney would get his appetite back.

Well, I just signed in for the first event.

Better clear some room around here.

'I'll need some place to put the cups.'

I certainly wish you luck, Fred.

(Fred) 'At least, one member'

'of the Rubble family is a good sport.'

(Betty) 'Oh, I'm sure Barney wishes you luck too, Fred.'

I'll do my own wishin', if you don't mind.

And it shouldn't happen to a dog.

Well, honey, as the sayin' goes, "I'm off to the races."

And I'll be right here when you get back

with the first aid kit.

Ladies and gentlemen Water Buffaloes.

If you kindly take your seats, we shall start the contest.

[crowd cheering]

(Grizzly) 'And the first event is the two-man steeple chase.'

The Water Buffaloes are at the post.

Are you ready, gentlemen?

For Pete's sake, Flintstone, we haven't got all day.

I'm bein' a champ, Joe.

I'm surprised you don't know limbering up when you see it.

Well, there seems to be a slight delay while Fred Flintstone

stomps on a fire or somethin'.

We're ready. We're ready, wise guy.

'Get on your mark.'

'Get set.'

'Go!'

[crowd cheering]

Look at 'em go.

Go go go, Joe.

Hang on, Flintstone, while I throw it into high.

Boy, look at Rockhead and Flintstone go.

That's pourin' on the old steam, Joe.

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

Fred, watch out!

bam

Will the contestants for the ever popular three legged race

take their places, please?

Hey, Flintstone, are you in this race or aren't you?

Fred, do try to be more careful this time.

Can I help it if some guy plants a tree where you can't see it?

(Joe) 'Flintstone.'

Coming, champ.

I'll be rootin' for you, Fred.

Flintstone, control your enthusiasm

and you'll be alright.

- Get it? - Sure, champ.

All set, gentlemen?

(all) 'All set.'

You may fire when ready, Grizzly.

On your mark.

Get set.

Go!

[crowd cheering]

It's Rockhead and Flintstone way out in front.

'And they're really moving!'

Watch out for the water, Fred!

(Grizzly) 'Uh-oh, looks like Rockhead and Flintstone'

'are headed for trouble.'

splash

Yup, that's what I said, they're in trouble, alright.

Up to their ears!

'But look at 'em go.'

'What a team! Nothin' slows 'em down.'

'Wow! What a race this turned out to be.'

'Uh-oh, it looks like a substitution'

'but I don't think the judges will allow it.'

Are you still with me, champ?

growl

You're not, are you?

Flintstone, you nut-head!

Our next event, the tug of war.

Men, when the whistle goes off, pull like anything.

'Of course, you know the winners will be covered with glory.'

'The losers with, yuck, mud.'

'Are you alright?'

- Alright. - It's alright.

Now, dig in, Flintstone

and make sure you got a good grip.

I'll make sure, champ.

[whistle blowing]

Champ!

Of course, you know, Flintstone, this dissolves our partnership.

So what if Joe got another partner for the big race?

'You can get another partner too.'

After what happened who would be stupid enough

'to team up with me?'

I might be stupid enough.

See, Fred. Go ahead, ask Barney.

No. Just because I lost a few races

don't mean I lost my pride. Let him ask me.

What about my pride? I'm a person, too.

(Betty) 'Barney, you can swallow your pride for a minute.'

How come it's always me that's gotta swallow my pride?

Why don't he swallow it for a change?

- Ask him, Barney. - 'Okay, okay. I'm askin'.'

- Fred, he's askin'. - Ask him what he's askin'.

What are you askin', Barney?

(Barney) 'Will he be my partner for the big race?'

Will you be his partner for the big race?

Well, okay. Let's go.

And don't forget, it ain't how you play the game. Just win.

I'm with you, Fred.

Here we are, folks.

The final event of the afternoon, the wheel barrow race

and then, we eat!

'Okay, you Water Buffaloes, may the best team win!'

'On your mark.'

'Get set.'

'Go!'

(both) Bedrock!

Hold tight, Barney boy!

Hold tight. That first prize cup is practically in the bag.

Right, Fred. I can just see that cup now.

Rubble and Flintstone, the new champs.

What do you mean Rubble and Flintstone?

- It's Flintstone and Rubble. - Okay, Fred.

Have it your way. Come on, pal.

I got the urge to win and you're just the guy that can do it.

Right, Barney. And all you have to do is enjoy the scenery.

Fred, stop talking and start running.

Joe Rockhead and his new partner, Sam Slate

have moved into the lead.

'But here comes Flintstone and Rubble.'

Let's go, Fred.

Yeah, I'll show that Rockhead guy a real champ.

Geronimo!

Wow! Flintstone and Rubble are getting fast.

They're right behind the leaders and drivin' hard!

- Come on, Fred! - Come on, Barney!

[panting]

(both) Oh, no!

They're slowing down.

- Step on it, Fred. - I am, Barney. I am.

It looks like the Flintstone-Rubble team

are outta the race.

What's the matter, Fred?

I've, I've ran out of gas, Barney.

[panting] I, uh...oh..

Well, don't worry, Fred. I got that urge again.

- What urge? - The urge to win.

Look, Wilma. The boys are back again.

Yeah, they've changed places.

Hang on, Fred. I remember what you said.

It isn't how you play the game as long as you win.

Right. Right, Barney.

There's teamwork for you.

Flintstone and Rubble are moving ahead again.

'They're gaining on Rockhead and Slate.'

'Boy! What a race.'

- Come on, Barney! - Yahoo, Fred!

Now, what's wrong?

Something's wrong with the wheel barrow.

Hey, Barney, the wheel-barrow's falling apart.

- Hang on, Fred. - Uh-oh!

It looks like Flintstone and Rubble are in trouble again.

They're dropping way behind.

Well, no. They're gainin' again!

Boy! What a team!

Just hang on to the wheel, Freddie boy!

(Grizzly) 'And here comes Flintstone and Rubble!'

'They're passing Rockhead and Slate.'

- Hello, Joe. - Goodbye, Joe.

It's a tremendous effort by Flintstone and Rubble.

'The new champions!'

[cheering]

Yahoo!

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

Wilma, I've been thinking it over

and you're absolutely right.

What's that, Fred?

(Fred) 'Barney deserves this cup more than I do.'

- 'I'm goin' to give it to him.' - That's wonderful, Fred.

'Hey, Barney!'

At last, peace reigns over

our households once more.

To the winner of the wheel-barrow race

and new champ, Barney Rubble.

Oh, you keep it, Fred.

Oh, no! To the victor belongs the spoils.

- So here's the spoils. - Nope.

- You've always wanted it, Fred. - Take it, I said.

Keep it, yourself.

(Fred) 'Take it, or I might change my mind.'

It's like the sound of music.

(Barney) 'I told you, I don't want it!'

- Like old times again. - 'Excuse me, Betty.'

'There's something I must get in the kitchen.'

Oh, sure, Wilma. Mind if I tag along?

- 'Not at all, Betty.' - 'Are you gonna take this cup?'

(Barney) 'Nope. And definitely, nope!'

Ah! What a beautiful steak, Wilma!

- How does Fred like it? - Usually medium.

(Fred) 'If you don't take this cup, so help me--

wham

'Wilma!'

But lately, he's been taking his steak raw.

Here you are, Fred.

That Barney! Remind me never to speak to him again.

Oh, my eye!

[theme song]

[yawns]

Wilma!

'Wilma!'

'Come on, Wilma, open this door.'

'Wilma!'
