• Mr. Slate : Gentlemen, please, I can't endorse this modernization if it means laying off all those workers. Some of them have been here since the beginning of time.

  Cliff Vandercave : What if I could quadruple your income?

  Mr. Slate : I'll miss them. You were saying?

• Mr. Slate : How did this happen?

  Fred Flintstone : Well, it all started when I lent money to Barney so he could adopt a baby.

  Mr. Slate : Not that. How did this happen to Cliff?

  [shows Cliff trapped in a hard rough substance] 

  Fred Flintstone : Well, the machine went haywire and the rocks got crushed up and mixed with the water, and it got onto Cliff. Mr. Slate, I'm sorry.

  Mr. Slate : Sorry? I love this stuff! I'm gonna name it after my daughter, Concretia.

• Fred Flintstone : Well, I'm not going to jail, but it won't be easy finding a new job. What kind of reference is Mr. Slate gonna give me after I destroyed his quarry.

  Betty Rubble : Aw, none of this was your fault, Fred. I'm sure Mr. Slate will understand.

  Mr. Slate : [screams]  FLINTSTONE!

  Fred Flintstone : Sure, now he gets my name right.

• Fred Flintstone : Sorry I'm late. Had car trouble, I picked up a nail.

  [Shows everyone a bandaid on his dirty foot] 

  Mr. Slate : Thank you for sharing that with us, Mr. Flagstone. May we continue?
