Quotes 

• Wilma Flintstone : [about Fred's letter]  Hmm. Darn these thick envelopes!

  Betty Rubble : Yeah. How do they expect people to read other people's mail through them?

• [Wilma is still reading her mystery book] 

  Fred Flintstone : You're really enjoying that book, huh, Wilma?

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, yes. It's about a woman who tries to get rid of her husband for his insurance.

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah? How does she go about it?

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, a number of ways. Right now, I'm up to the part where she puts a pillow over his head.

  Fred Flintstone : A-A p-p-pillow over his head? Look, honey, that's not the kind of stuff you should be reading. Why don't you turn out the light and go to sleep?

  Wilma Flintstone : No, I want to read awhile. You go to sleep, Fred.

  Fred Flintstone : I don't think I can sleep.

  Wilma Flintstone : Sure you can. I'll bet in two minutes you're dead to the world.

• Wilma Flintstone : [to Betty]  I wish I knew what's wrong with Fred. Last night, he had a terrible nightmare, ran right through the bedroom wall, and didn't come back 'til early this morning.

• Wilma Flintstone : You mean you actually thought I wanted to collect the insurance? Thanks a lot, Fred. That's the nicest compliment I've had today.

  Fred Flintstone : I'm-I'm-I'm sorry, Wilma, but you gotta admit suspicious things happened and with you reading that book...

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, Fred!

  Fred Flintstone : Well, what would you think if I started reading about Bluebeard and then accidents started happening to you?

• [after Fred signs for the insurance policy] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Thanks, Fred. I certainly hope I never need it, but you never know. Insurance can be a wife's best friend.

  [Wilma leaves] 

  Barney Rubble : Hmm.

  Fred Flintstone : What's with the "Hmm"?

  Barney Rubble : Oh, I was just thinking about what Wilma said. "Insurance can be a wife's best friend."

  Fred Flintstone : So?

  Barney Rubble : So 40,000 bucks could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

  Fred Flintstone : Will you cut that out?

• Barney Rubble : [to Fred]  Wilma's no dope. If she wanted to get rid of you, she wouldn't throw a cleaver at you. She'd do something safe like, uh, putting bug spray in your soup.

  Wilma Flintstone : Come on, Fred, your soup's ready!
