Quotes 

• Fred Flintstone : [playing cards]  Barney, what would you do if you were holding the queen alone?

  Barney Rubble : I don't know, Fred, it all depends on what time the king gets home.

  [laughs] 

• Wilma Flintstone : I didn't know there was a fight scheduled.

  Barney Rubble : Are you kidding? Tonight's for the championship, oooohh it should be a real grudge boat.

  Betty Rubble : Heavyweight or lightweight?

  Barney Rubble : Both, a heavyweight vs. a lightweight.

  Wilma Flintstone : Why're you putting the chairs over there by the window? The TV set's here.

  Fred Flintstone : This is not on TV, it's a closed circuit.

  Betty Rubble : But who's fighting?

  Barney Rubble : The new neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Brickrock.

• Fred Flintstone : [at Barney's window]  Psst, hey Barney, Barney!

  Barney Rubble : Hey Fred, what're you doing in the middle of my begonias in the middle of the night?

• Fred Flintstone : Don't you see? Our neighbor Alvin Brickrock, he borrowed my shovel! He could be a vicious monster! A diabolocal fiend!

  Barney Rubble : Well Fred, you haven't returned my lawn mower and I don't feel that way about you.

• Fred Flintstone : I wouldn't miss tonight's bout for anything. Those two have been putting on the greatest fight of the century. Last night's bout was a doozy. Did you ever hear such hysterics? All that screaming and shrieking in that high voice.

  Barney Rubble : Yeah, I thought he'd never stop.

  Betty Rubble : Oh, that's terrible! You mean that meek little man hits his wife?

  Fred Flintstone : No. In the last three bouts, he didn't even lay a glove on her. He's strictly a defensive fighter.

  Barney Rubble : You'd think she'd let him win once in a while just to keep up his interest.

• Wilma Flintstone : It's funny how little you know about your neighbors; what really goes on behind closed doors.

  Betty Rubble : We don't even know what business he's in, and they've been living in that big old gloomy house for a whole week.

  Fred Flintstone : You never see that Brickrock guy going to work, do you think he's retired?

  Barney Rubble : No Fred, the lights are still on.

  Fred Flintstone : I mean what kind of work is he out of?

  Barney Rubble : Well did you see some of those spooky crates and boxes?

  Fred Flintstone : What do you mean spooky? What's spooky about crates and boxes?

  Barney Rubble : Shaped like coffins?

• [discussing Alvin Brickrock and his wife] 

  Wilma Flintstone : I can't imagine what a nice little man like him ever saw in a big bully like her.

  Porcupineasaurus : For those who can't brush after every meal.

  Betty Rubble : [to Wilma]  Maybe, it was love at first fight.

• Wilma Flintstone : [to Alvin Brickrock]  Do you know the Rubbles?

  Barney Rubble : Uh, we've never met, but I've admired your footwork many, many times.

  Betty Rubble : Uh, uh, we... we've been trying to drop in on your wife. Now it looks like we'll just have to meet her to say goodbye.

  Alvin Brickrock : I'm afraid that won't be possible. I had to send Agatha off ahead of me. She didn't like the idea of leaving. She fights moving.

  Barney Rubble : I'll say.
