squawk

Yabba dabba doo-o-o!

Flintstones meet the Flintstones

They're the modern Stone Age family

From the town of Bedrock

They're a page right out of history

Let's ride with the family down the street

Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet

When you're with the Flintstones

Have a yabba-dabba-doo time

A dabba-doo time

We'll have a gay old time

Just look at this bundle of wash

and every bit of it is Barney's.

Oh, that man must change his clothes

at least four times a day.

Okay, Cicero, turn the water on.

[water gushing]

That's enough.

[barking]

Come on, Sam, in you go.

splash

[barking]

Hm. Sam sure helps get the clothes nice and clean.

Uh-oh, here I go again.

hiccup hiccup hiccup

That was a ring-ding-dinger.

Oh, dear, you still have those nasty, old hiccups

haven't you, Barney?

Well, I..

hiccup hiccup hiccup

[squeaking] Oh, come on, knock it off.

That's better.

rar

Uh, like I was sayin', I'm okay for a while

and-and then it starts all of a sudden.

I'm worried, Barney.

Um, I'll ask Wilma. She might know a cure.

Oh, yeah, maybe she does.

hic

That was a sneaky one.

crash

[squeaking] You're tellin' me.

You mean he still has the hiccups?

Uh-huh, the poor dear.

He didn't get any sleep last night

and he's worse than ever today.

Oh, that's terrible.

Did you try kerosene and sugar?

The very first thing.

- Slapping him on the back? - Didn't work.

- Standing on his head? - Just gave him a headache.

'Well, I suggest you send him to the doctor, Betty.'

Mm, I guess I'll have to unless Fred has some ideas.

Oh, no, don't tell Fred. Barney would never recover.

[giggling] I guess you're right, Wilma.

Say, I hope he didn't hear us talking about it.

Don't worry, Fred's out in the garage

working on another of his nutty inventions.

You remember his last one? The hair grower?

Uh-huh, but Fred said it worked.

It actually grew hair on a dodo bird egg.

Yeah, but it won't grow hair on anything else.

[both giggling]

If there's ever a demand for hairy dodo eggs

Fred's all set.

Now he's trying to invent a new soft drink.

[sneezing]

I could use a drink off this dusty job.

(Fred) 'Well, let's see.'

Two drops of concentrated Sassafras

and a dash of mango juice.

That's what it needed.

'Now to blend all the secret ingredients together.'

blurb blurb

'Success after 411 tries.'

Say, that would make a good name for it.

Introducing the new soft drink sensation

Fred Flintstones' 411 Up.

[drumroll]

Phoo!

Nhah nhah nhah.

Eehh!

Well, 412 Up, comin' up.

Come to think of it, some of the greatest inventions

were discovered by accident.

I'll pour everything together and see what I come up with.

There, I got everything in it

except the kitchen sink.

[bubbling]

[explosion]

Mm, maybe I should've added the kitchen sink.

Hiya, Fred. Is it safe to come in?

[laughing]

(Fred) Funny, very funny!

What's on your mind, Barney? I'm kind of busy.

'Oh, nothin', nothin' at all.'

Uh, just passing by on my way to see the doctor.

A doctor? What's the matter with you, Barney boy?

Well, I got the..

hiccup hiccup hiccup

...hiccups.

hic

Don't tell me you're going to the doctor

for something as chintzy as hiccups?

Well, uh, Betty said I should go.

Well, I can save you the trip, pal

because I can cure your hiccups.

Hey, no kiddin'.

I never kid about science, Barney.

This is one of my first inventions.

The Fred Flintstone Hiccup Cure.

But that looks like an ordinary sack to me, Fred.

'It, uh, fits over your head like this.'

Eh, hurry up, Fred. I'm afraid of the dark.

[laughing]

Hold it tight around your neck so no air can get in.

- That's it. - Oh, uh, now what, Fred?

(Fred) 'Blow hard.'

[blows]

'Keep blowin'.'

[blows]

bam

hiccup hiccup hiccup

Nice try, Fred, but I better see the doctor.

Wait, wait, I know a surefire cure in stubborn cases.

- Close your eyes. - Uh, how's that, Fred?

Good, now don't peek.

I read somewhere that hiccups disappear

if the patient gets a sudden scare.

And Barney is timid about sharp hatchets.

- Hey, Barney. - 'Yeah.'

'You can open your eyes now.'

thwip

hiccup hiccup hiccup

Hey, he's worse than ever.

Hey, maybe a drink of 412 Up will help.

hiccup hiccup hiccup

Hold it, Barney.

'Here, drink this.'

gulp gulp

Yuck!

Ooh, that tastes awful.

I, uh, I feel kinda funny, Fred.

What do you mean funny?

Barney, what's the matter?

Oh, boy. Barney, where are you?

(Barney) 'I'm right in front of ya. Boy, you must need glasses.'

Huh?

'That drink did the trick, Fred.'

'The hiccups have completely disappeared.'

And you with 'em, Barney. You're invisible.

'Invisible? Ho-ho, that's ridiculous.'

'If I was invisible, I wouldn't be able'

'to see myself in this mirror.'

'I, uh, what, uh, Fred.'

'Uh, uh, I'm gone.'

'Uh, I am invisible.'

'Uh, I can't see myself.'

Neither can I.

Here, here, put on this cap, so I know where you are.

'Eh, okay.'

'Now what, Fred? Y-y-you gotta help me.'

I did help you. I cured your hiccups, didn't I?

'Uh, oh, yeah, I forgot. Thanks.'

'B-b-but how you gonna make me visible again?'

How should I know?

Why is it every time you show up

ya make trouble for me?

'Trouble for you? Seems like I'm the one who's in trouble.'

Yeah, you think of the fix I'm gonna be in

when you blab to Wilma and Betty that I made ya invisible.

'Oh, I won't tell, Fred, but..'

'...but it's gonna be kinda hard to-to keep it from Betty'

'when she sees this hat floatin' around the room.'

'Oh, well, let's face it. She's gonna ask questions.'

Yeah, yeah, wives are kinda nosy about somethin' like that.

Look, give me a break, Barney, before you tell her?

Let me try to find something to cure ya.

'Eh, okay, Fred.'

M-m-maybe, maybe this will work. Here.

Here, try some seaweed juice.

(Barney) 'I-i-if you say so, Fred.'

Here goes.

gulp gulp

- 'Nothin'.' - Well, that's okay.

That's okay. There's-there's plenty of stuff here.

Fred, oh, Fred, lunch is ready.

Oh, dear, the garage door is closed.

He can't hear me.

Oh, Fred and his hush-hush inventions.

(Fred) 'Here, here, try this. You can't stop now.'

(Barney) 'Well, eh, no more, Fred. I don't want anymore.'

That's funny. Barney was supposed to see the doctor.

He couldn't be back yet.

Stop squirmin'. It's-it's for your own good.

'No more, no more.'

Come on, come on, drink it. This one might work.

(Barney) 'I don't want anymore.'

- Fred. - Aaah!

crash

You, uh, startled me.

Fred Flintstone, what's going on in here?

Well, I'm-I'm-I'm conducting uh, an experiment.

- That's what's goin' on. - An experiment?

Looked more like you were inventing a new dance step.

And what happened to Barney?

- Barney? - Yes, Barney.

I distinctly heard Barney Rubble's voice in here.

Well, look around, do you see Barney?

(Wilma) 'No, I don't.'

But I was sure I heard his voice.

Okay, come on. Lunch is ready.

And this cap should be hanging up.

[instrumental music]

Fred, how did you do that?

No questions, please. It's top secret.

And I ain't kiddin'.

I still think that cap trick was done with mirrors.

It couldn't possibly get there by itself.

Oh, boy!

Corned brontosaurus on rye.

Yeah, while you figure out how I had done it

sweetie, I'll dig in.

chomp

Barney, cut that out.

chomp chomp

Ixnay, Barney, ixnay.

chomp chomp

Now cut that out, Barney!

Barney?

What do you mean? Barney's at the doctor, Fred.

Uh-huh. No, yeah, yeah.

Th-the doctor, yeah, um, sorry.

- You feel alright, Fred? - Yeah, sure.

Why don't you drop by the doctor and see how Barney is?

Yeah, yeah, good idea. I'll-I'll leave right now.

Doggone, that Barney, he made me miss my lunch.

[whispering] Hey, Barney.

You out here?

Where are you, Barney?

[barking]

No, no, Dino, not you!

No, I'm not calling you. Down, boy, down, down!

crash

Hey! Cut it out! Yeehahaha!

Dino, cut out.. Heel, boy, heel!

[slurping]

[barking]

[slurping]

(Barney) 'Hey, Dino, cut that out!'

[gasping]

'Leave Fred alone, Dino!'

[Dino barking]

[laughing]

Look at him go. Ha ha ha.

He heard ya but he couldn't see ya. Oh, that's real funny.

(Barney) 'Well, not to me, Fred.'

Fred, who are you talking to?

Eh..

Nobody, Wilma, I, uh, I was, uh, uh

practicing a little ventriloquism.

Well, stop acting silly and get going.

(Fred) 'Yeah, okay, okay, Wilma.'

I'm worried about Fred.

He's been acting so strange.

I better have the doctor check him while he's at the office.

I'm supposed to see you at the doctor's, Barney.

Can I use your car? Mine has a flat.

(Barney) 'Oh, sure, Fred.'

'Only you know I don't like anybody to drive my car.'

'Uh, I'll take you there myself.'

Yes, Dr. Quartz, he's on his way to your office now.

Well, I'm really worried.

He keeps acting so, so peculiar!

What do I mean? Well, well, he keeps talking to himself and..

vroom

Right now, he's using our neighbor's car

'but nobody's driving.'

[whistling]

No driver? Oh!

Those onion pterodactyl sandwiches'll do it every time.

Hey, pull into the bowlin' alley, Barney.

(Barney) 'Bowlin' alley? Why?'

We can watch a few games while I figure out what to do with you.

'Okay.'

(Barney) 'Hey, look, Fred.'

'There's Blowhard Sandstorm'

'bowlin' on Alley Two.'

Yeah. I see him.

'Uh, you're the best bowler here except for him.'

He's got a hex on me or somethin'.

I just can't seem to beat that loudmouth.

'Uh-oh. He's spotted ya, Fred.'

'He's lookin' right at ya.'

Yeah. He's gonna challenge me to a game, I bet ya.

Well, if it ain't old Fred Flintstone. Ha ha ha.

I heard the flapping of wings and I said

"That sounds like a pigeon just flew in."

I look around and I was right!

My favorite pigeon, Fred Flintstone is sittin' there.

[laughs]

'Hey, hey, you gonna bowl a game, Flinty?'

Not today, Blowhard.

[Blowhard laughing]

Well, I don't blame ya!

You'd never beat me anyway!

[laughing]

Oh, boy, once, just once

I'd like to beat that guy and get him off my back.

(Barney) 'Why don't ya play him, Fred?'

What for? I'd only lose.

(Barney) 'Well, uh, not if you had an invisible friend'

'to help ya down by the pins.'

Hey, yeah.

Yeah, you could make sure I'd win.

'Hold it, Blowhard!'

'I'll play you a game.'

Hey, you guys, watch!

'I'm gonna knock off Fred Flintstone again!'

[all laughing]

(male narrator) Blowhard Sandstone who has never lost a match game

lead off.

He makes the approach

and the delivery.

Oh, it's a beautiful ball

hooking just right for the pocket.

No, it bounced into the next alley

as if someone had kicked it.

Old Blowhard must have had too much hook on it that time.

And Fred Flintstone gets a break.

But this game is only starting.

Blowhard tries for a spare.

He delivers.

He looks good, good, good.

Hey, the ball's slowing down.

It stopped.

Now it's coming back!

A lot of backspin on that ball.

It looks like Blowhard deliberately missed

the first two balls to give Fred Flintstone a handicap.

A nice gesture, and skillfully done.

Psst. Hey, Barney. Nice goin'.

Blowhard moves to the next alley.

He's into his approach.

And it looks good.

The perfect strike for Blowhard.

Oh, wait.

Two pins have stood up!

Instead of a strike, it's a split!

Oh, here comes the ball.

And it misses.

Looks like the pin jumped up out of the way!

Now, Flintstone's ready.

He delivers the ball.

And it's wild.

The ball might hit the seven-pin..

...and it did.

No, it's a strike.

How about that?

[audience cheering]

Stick around, Blowhard.

You ain't seen nothin' yet. Ha ha ha!

What a man. What a man.

And Flintstone has bowled a strike in every frame.

He needs only one more for a perfect game.

And he's gonna try for it.

Blindfolded!

Oh, what confidence.

He's got the ball.

And he's passing it through his legs

like a football setter.

The ball is headed straight for the center pin!

Looks like it's gonna be a 7-10 split.

And it is a split.

Oh, too bad.

No, wait!

Seven-pin starts to wobble.

It falls.

And now the ten-pin goes down. It's a strike!

Fred Flintstone has bowled a perfect game!

Yabba dabba doo!

And Blowhard Sandstone's having a little trouble

hiding his disappointment.

[crying]

[laughs]

A perfect game. Boy, did we fool old Blowhard.

[laughs]

(Barney) 'Uh, Fred.'

'Did you figure out how to get me un-invisible yet?'

Are you kiddin'?

If you stay invisible, we can make a fortune.

We'll bowl all over the country, win every match!

We'll clean up, Barney. We'll be millionaires!

'Fred. Isn't that crooked?'

Crooked? Eh..

Yeah, I-I guess so.

I knew there must be somethin' wrong

with a perfect setup like that.

'I'd better see that doctor.'

'Maybe he can make me visible again.'

I don't know what he can do that I can't.

I better go with ya to explain things to him.

Well, here we are, Barney.

Now remember, let me do the talkin'.

'Okay, Fred.'

[knock on door]

Come in.

Is the doctor in? My name is Fred Flintstone.

Oh, yeah. Dr. Quartz is expecting you, Mr. Flintstone.

Oh, but I'm not the patient. It's my friend here.

Your, uh, your friend there?

Yeah. He has a problem.

Yeah. I'm sure he has.

Come on, Barney. The doctor'll fix ya up.

(Barney) 'Right, Fred.'

Maybe on my day off, I ought to go see a doctor.

Ah, yes, uh, Mr. Flintstone. I've been expecting you.

Now, ah, uh, what's your problem?

Oh, uh, I ain't got a problem, it's my friend here

I come to see ya about.

Your friend. Oh.

Oh, yeah, well, what's his trouble?

He's invisible.

Invi.. Oh, I noticed that.

There's a lot of it going around these days.

It's a regular epidemic.

'We can't be too careful.'

Good work, Charlie!

Hey, hey, wh-what's goin' on here?

Keep the patient in isolation!

I'll check on him later.

(Fred) 'Put me down!'

Stop it! What do you think you're doin'?

Let me go! I'm not the patient!

Invisible friend, that is new.

'But I am invisible, doc.'

'You have to help me!'

Who-who, uh, who-who said that?

'I did. Barney Rubble.'

- Bubble? - 'No, no, Rubble.'

Oh, yes! Oh, Rubble.

Yeah, your wife called and said you have the hee-cups.

'Oh, they're cured, but the cure made me invisible!'

Oh, oh, oh, is it?

Huh, well, you'd be better off with the hee-cups.

Hey, Charlie. Bring the Flintstone fella back.

'It's all a mistake.'

Now let me see. Invisible, invi..

Oh, in, eh, oh, yes, invis..

Now this stuff ought to, uh, make you solid again.

At least, it worked in the horror movie

I saw on TV last night.

You mean the one where the guy turned

into a saber-toothed tiger every night?

[chuckles] Yeah, oh, yeah, that's the one.

Yeah, and then the detective makes himself

invisible to catch the tiger man?

- Wasn't that great? - Yeah. Ha ha ha.

(Barney) 'Oh, come on, you guys.'

'Knock it off and do somethin' about my condition.'

Oh! Yes! Oh.

Oh, are you still here?

Oh, I hea.. Oh, here.

Uh, Mr. Bubble. Uh, drink it all down.

gulp gulp

'Ah! Phooey.'

He's still invisible, doc.

Yeah. Now that's funny.

'There's nothin' funny about it. I'm goin' home.'

Home? Oh, wait a minute, Barney, come back!

Well, I don't understand it.

It worked so good on "The Late Late Show."

(Fred) 'Hey, Barney, hold it!'

Wait for me. Don't go home yet!

Betty and Wilma will pound me

if they found out I made ya invisible.

Hold it, Barney!

'Hold it!'

Okay, cowboy, pull over!

What are you? Some kind of a show off or something?

Uh, n-no, n-no, officer.

The car sorta, uh, got away from me. Ha ha ha.

[Barney laughing] 'Oh, boy. This is my chance to get even with Fred.'

You middle-aged teenagers ought to have your licenses revoked.

'Uh, just give me the ticket and shut up.'

- What? - Uh, uh, nothin', officer!

[chuckles] I-I-I didn't say nothin'.

One more crack like that and I'll run you in!

Yes, sir.

[Barney laughing]

Boy, you and your sense of humor.

I ought to make you pay for that ticket.

(Barney) 'Oh, that's not the problem.'

'What's Betty gonna say when she sees me?'

'I mean, uh, doesn't see me?'

What can she say? She took you for better or for worse.

'But not this worse.'

Barney, I can see ya!

You're gettin' un-invisible!

'You wouldn't kid me, would ya, Fred?'

Of course not, I can see all of you, except your head!

'Barney, ya made it!'

Looks like that stuff I gave you wears off in a little while.

Yabba dabba doo!

(both) Yabba dabba doo-doo-doo!

Yoo-hoo, Wilma. Barney's been gone for hours.

Has Fred come back from the doctor's yet?

No, but they should be back any minute.

[chirping]

There, my wash is all hung.

I just hope it doesn't rain.

Mm. Honestly, Wilma, I think that's wonderful.

How did Fred ever train those birds?

It was easy. They like sitting on the clothesline.

Only I'm afraid someday my whole wash

will fly south for the winter.

[laughs]

Wilma, do you suppose it'd be alright

to see some of Fred's other inventions?

'Sure, come on over.'

And this is the Lasts Forever umbrella.

It will last forever because it's made of stone.

Stone?

Well, who could lift it?

Nobody. That's why it flopped.

Now over here, we have his latest invention.

A new soft drink that Fred says will put

the Cactus Cooler people out of business.

Let's sample it.

Mm, I don't know.

Let's see what it smells like first.

[sniffing]

(both) Ewww!

- Isn't that awful? - I'll say.

Well, one thing for sure.

The Cactus Cooler people have nothing to worry about.

Right.

[laughing]

- You know, Betty? - Mm.

I think Fred's been working too hard on these inventions.

He's been acting so peculiar all day.

I asked the doctor to check him over

when he got into the office.

Why, I thought you sent him there

to see how Barney was coming along.

Oh. That was just an excuse.

It was Fred I was worried about.

Yabba dabba doo!

Yoodle doodle doo doo doo-doo!

Look, Wilma, here come the boys.

I wonder how they made out at the doctor.

Hi, Betty. Look! No more hiccups.

And no more inventions. I'm off of that soft drink gig, Wilma.

I'm gonna go in the garage and dump all that stuff.

If you see Dino, send him in, Fred.

Something scared him and he's been hiding

in the garage all afternoon.

Huh? Garage?

Dino? Oh, no.

Dino. Here, boy.

Where are you, Dino? Here, boy!

[barking]

boing

No, Dino! No, stop! Down, boy, down!

Stop it, can't you hear me? Stop it!

[barking]

Barney, what's going on?

[laughs]

Uh, let's sit down, ladies. It's a long story!

[laughs]

No, Dino, no, no, that tickles!

[laughing]

Dino!

[laughing]

Stop it, Dino!

Stop! Stop!

[theme music]

Flintstones meet the Flintstones

They're the modern Stone Age family

From the town of Bedrock

They're a page right out of history

Someday maybe Fred will win the fight

Then that cat will stay out for the night

When you're with the Flintstones

Have a yabba-dabba-doo time

A dabba-doo time

We'll have a gay old time

We'll have a gay old time

Wilma!
