• Fred Flintstone : Oh, hiya, Wilma. I got rid of the lion.

  Wilma Flintstone : Uh-huh.

  Fred Flintstone : He's gone forever.

  Wilma Flintstone : He is, huh?

  Fred Flintstone : [cries]  Never again will I feel his friendly paw on my shoulder.

  Kitty : [the lion's paw touches Fred's shoulder and he licks Fred] 

  Fred Flintstone : It's him!

  Wilma Flintstone : Well, it isn't Yogi Bear.

  Fred Flintstone : There's only one choice left. I hate to say it it's the zoo for him.

  Kitty : Zoo?

  [Bawls like a human baby] 

  Fred Flintstone : Aww Poor Kitty he's really taking it hard!

• [the lion, with his new family, drops by to visit the Flintstones] 

  Fred Flintstone : [counting the lion cubs]  One, two, three, four. Shee! Oh, boy. I knew we shouldn't have missed visiting him.

• Fred Flintstone : Okay, Wilma, let's settle this once and for all. So I admit he may have a trace of lion blood in him, but I never knew I was married to a lion hater. Why, Wilma, why?

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, don't be silly, Fred. I think he's the sweetest lion I ever met, but it's unfair to him as well as to us. He belongs in a zoo with other lions his own age.

  Fred Flintstone : In a zoo? Why not just send him to Rockatraz Prison?

• [the lion family are watching TV at the Flintstones'] 

  Barney Rubble : Hey, what are you going to do now, Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : How about suicide?

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, Fred, just call the zoo. In the morning, of course.

  Fred Flintstone : I got a feeling it's going to be a loooong night.

• Fred Flintstone : You and your secret fishing hole. It's so secret, even the fish don't know about it. I haven't had a nibble all day.

  [the inside of Fred and Barney's boat shows Barney's half is filled with fish] 

  Barney Rubble : That's funny. I almost got my limit and we're using the same bait.

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah, well, my worm mustn't be trying. And maybe if you kept your mouth shut, the fish might bite.

  Barney Rubble : And maybe if the fish kept their mouths shut, they wouldn't be here.

• Fred Flintstone : [chasing a lion cub that stole his fish]  You better drop that fish if you don't wanna wind up in a tennis racket!
