Quotes
-
Wilma Flintstone : I promise I'll never take anything of yours without telling you again, okay?
Fred Flintstone : That still doesn't get my stuff back.
Betty Rubble : Oh, yes, it does. We never got to the rummage sale. Tell him, Wilma.
Wilma Flintstone : On our way, we stopped at Mrs. Rockhead's for tea.
Betty Rubble : And she was packing up old stuff of Joe's.
Wilma Flintstone : To give away without telling him.
Betty Rubble : And we both got this awful attack of conscience.
Wilma Flintstone : We couldn't go through with it...
Fred Flintstone : Hold it! Hold it! I'm getting seasick! Get to the point!
Wilma Flintstone : I took your things back with me, Fred. They're out in the car.

Officer O'Rockery : Well, let's hear the explanation.
Betty Rubble : Gee, I don't know where to start.
Wilma Flintstone : I'll give it to you.
Betty Rubble : But you'll never believe it.
Wilma Flintstone : You see, Officer, the Ladies Auxiliary was having this rummage sale.
Fred Flintstone : Sounds pretty fishy to me.
Betty Rubble : And her husband had all this junk he wouldn't throw away.
Wilma Flintstone : And so, I took it without telling him
Barney Rubble : I wouldn't believe that story if I saw it on television.
Betty Rubble : But, for some reason, Fred thought Barney...
Wilma Flintstone : Was a kleptomaniac. And he was...
Officer O'Rockery : Hold it! Hold it! One at a time! I'm getting dizzy!
Wilma Flintstone : And he was trying to get Barney to return everything.
Betty Rubble : Honestly, Officer. She's telling the truth.
[Fred and Barney laughs as the girls continue explaining their story]

Betty Rubble : Okay, Wilma. Coast is clear.
[Wilma and Betty start carrying their boxes out to the car]
Wilma Flintstone : [whispers] Where's Barney?
Betty Rubble : [whispers] In back of the house, doing some gardening. Put the boxes on the floor in the back seat.
Wilma Flintstone : Say, before we take this stuff downtown, let's have some breakfast.
Betty Rubble : Okay. That's, uh... Why are we whispering?
Wilma Flintstone : I don't know.

Betty Rubble : Wilma, that's Fred's old football uniform! How'd you ever get him to part with it?
Wilma Flintstone : Simple. I merely used feminine strategy.
Betty Rubble : What do you mean?
Wilma Flintstone : I didn't tell him.
Betty Rubble : [gasps] Wilma!
Wilma Flintstone : What he doesn't know won't make him mad.
Betty Rubble : Oh, but, Wilma, that's sneaky. That's dishonest. That's brilliant!
-
Wilma Flintstone : The boys have been awfully quiet since we bailed them out.
Betty Rubble : [chuckles] It's something they won't forget for a while.
Wilma Flintstone : [chuckles] And we won't let them forget. After you, jailbirds!
[Wilma and Betty giggle as their husbands walk inside]
Fred Flintstone : [with sarcasm] Very funny. Very funny. Har, har, har!
Barney Rubble : Hey, girls, how about something to eat? Being a criminal sure gives a guy an appetite.
Betty Rubble : Oh, what do you think, Wilma? Do the jailbirds deserve food?
Wilma Flintstone : Oh, but of course. Let's bake them a cake with a file in it to make them feel right at home.
[Betty and Wilma giggles]
Fred Flintstone : [sarcastically] Say, you're a comedian, Wilma. You're a riot. Now, get out in that kitchen!
Wilma Flintstone : Watch your tone, sir. You're speaking to the girl what sprung you.
