Quotes 

• [Fred is in extremely deep exasparation, of having to work on a Saturday] 

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, what a rotten break. My whole day is spoiled.

  Wilma Flintstone : Don't be upset, Fred. According to your horoscope, this is your lucky day.

  Fred Flintstone : Lucky day? Ood-abbad-abbay!

  Wilma Flintstone : Ood-abbad-abbay? What's that?

  Fred Flintstone : That's yabba-dabba-doo backwards, and that's how I feel.

• Wilma Flintstone : I don't like this whole setup, Betty. Something's phony about it, don't you think?

  Betty Rubble : Yeah, I think...

  Wilma Flintstone : I mean, they start shooting tomorrow. Why here in Bedrock? Why no script? Why no mention of salary?

  Betty Rubble : Well, I think...

  Wilma Flintstone : I love my husband, but if I were a movie producer, and on the level, would I pick Fred?

  Betty Rubble : No, but I...

  Wilma Flintstone : Of course, maybe I'm just jealous. Maybe I'm thinking of all those beautiful starlets he's going to meet.

  Betty Rubble : Yes, but...

  Wilma Flintstone : But I won't let Fred know. That'd be the worst thing I could do, right?

  Betty Rubble : Yes, I think you'll probably...

  Wilma Flintstone : I'll fight fire with fire. When Fred comes home tonight, I'm gonna look absolutely gorgeous. I'm gonna make him feel like he's living with a movie star.

  Betty Rubble : Say, that's not a bad idea...

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, thanks for talking with me, Betty. I feel so much better. It really helped.

  Betty Rubble : [giggles]  I didn't even say a word.

• Wilma Flintstone : [on the phone]  Hello? Oh, good morning, Mr. Slate.

  Fred Flintstone : [whispers]  Ssh! Tell him I left.

  Wilma Flintstone : Yes, he's here, Mr. Slate. Just a minute. It's for you, Fred. Mr. Slate.

  Fred Flintstone : [sarcastically]  No kidding.

• [after Fred crashes into a wall, riding a chariot, doing a scene] 

  Go-Go Ravine : Great! Great! But we do it again with a little more zingo this time.

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, no, we don't. We quit.

  Go-Go Ravine : Quit? You can't quit. We're not finished yet.

  Fred Flintstone : Well, I am. Barney, you're my manager. Tell him.

  Barney Rubble : Uh, yeah. He says he quits now, Mr. Ravine.

  Go-Go Ravine : But he can't. The big scene is next. Here, look at this script.

  Barney Rubble : [mumbles while reading the script]  Dancing girls? Uh, uh, let him quit, Mr. Ravine. I'll double for him.

  Fred Flintstone : Barney, you don't know what you're saying. This job is murder!

  Barney Rubble : It's okay, Fred. You're my friend. Uh, what do you say, Mr. Ravine?

  Go-Go Ravine : With the wig, no one will know the difference. Okay, you're Hercurock.

  [later, Barney, dressed as Hercurock, is doing a scene where he is served by beautiful young ladies] 

  Girl : Oh, Hercurock, we think you're wonderful.

  [the girls start kissing Barney] 

  Barney Rubble : Thank you, slave girls.

  Go-Go Ravine : Cut. Okay, let's do it again, Hercurock.

  Barney Rubble : Delighted, Mr. Ravine.

  [the girls begin kissing Barney again] 

  Fred Flintstone : [angrily]  Some friend! Rickin', rackin', fraggsin', briggin', cussastudda!
