Quotes 

• Wilma Flintstone : Fred, can't you get up without making all that noise?

  Fred Flintstone : It's that pesty gooney bird, he's back again! Why can't he fly back to Capistranorock or wherever else he belongs? What a thing to look forward to all summer!

• Fred Flintstone : Wilma!

  Wilma Flintstone : Hello, Fred. Fred, where are you?

  Fred Flintstone : [flies home in his bird costume]  Here, Wilma. I got a big fat raise. Now we can get everything we need for the baby.

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, Fred, I'm so proud of you. I must tell Betty the good news.

  [Wilma rushes inside and calls Betty on the phone] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Hello, Betty? Oh, I just had to call and tell you that Fred got his raise. Yes, he just flew home and told me.

  [realizes what she just said] 

  Wilma Flintstone : FLEW HOME? I'll call you back, Betty.

  [Wilma runs back outside] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred, what are you doing flying around in a bird suit?

  Fred Flintstone : Wilma, I thought you'd never ask. Come inside, sweetheart. Sit down. It's a long story, and, in spots, kind of hard to believe.

• Fred Flintstone : I don't get it. A guy wants to fix his own breakfast and the whole world becomes unglued. No more sleeping for you in the morning, Wilma. I have cooked my last breakfast.

  Wilma Flintstone : Amen.

• [Fred is working at a gas station] 

  Manager : Okay, Flintstone, I briefed you on our operation policy. Now here comes your first customer. Good luck.

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, boy, my first solo.

  [walks to the customer] 

  Fred Flintstone : How do you do, sir?

  Manager : He's polite. That's good.

  Customer : 10 gallons of Ethel, please.

  Fred Flintstone : Yes, sir. Okay, Ethel, 10 gallons.

  Manager : Gas in, good. Checks oil, is disgusted because it's so dirty. Changes oil. Very good. This Flintstone seems to be all right.

  [the customer drives off] 

  Manager : Tips hat. Waves goodbye. Well, that's nice.

  Fred Flintstone : How did I do, boss?

  Manager : Not bad, not bad. Just one little thing... YOU LET HIM GET AWAY WITHOUT PAYING!
