• Granny : [after hitting a hand that came out of the well]  Mind your manners. Oh, Mr. Gruesome. I don't want to spoil this here lovely party, but there's something down in that well.

  Weirdly Gruesome : Oh, that's only Uncle Ghastly. He lives down there.

  Fred Flintstone : Uncle Ghastly lives down in the well?

  Weirdly Gruesome : Yes. He's on Crepella's side of the family.

  Weirdly Gruesome : [Fred looked down the well, then the hand punches him, leaving Fred staring down the well]  He's full of laughs.

  [a very creepy laugh emanates from the well, terrifying Fred] 

• Weirdly Gruesome : Ah, Creepella, my dear, you don't look at all well today.

  Creepela : Oh, thank you.

  Creepela : Oh, you men with your flattery!

• Barney Rubble : Eat up, folks. There's plenty more.

  Fred Flintstone : Thanks for the food, pal. You saved my life. I tell you, those Hatrocks eat like a herd of locusts.

  Wilma Flintstone : I never saw such appetites. The only thing left in the icebox is a half a head of lettuce.

  Jethro Hatrock : Hey, Flintstone, you got any more of that there fancy shaving cream?

  Fred Flintstone : Why? Don't tell me you're going to shave again.

  Jethro Hatrock : Nope. It's for Granny. She says it goes great on lettuce.

  Fred Flintstone : Well, I... ehh... That is... uh...

  Jethro Hatrock : Well, then, there ain't no rush at all. We can stay 'til hog branding time.

  Fred Flintstone : I was afraid of that.

• Fred Flintstone : Well, thanks for the use of the yard, neighbor.

  Weirdly Gruesome : You're quite welcome, Fred, old boy. I'm sorry that we didn't make the wrong impression on the Hatrocks.

  Creepela : Imagine them liking us. Weirdly, you don't suppose we're losing our touch?

  Weirdly Gruesome : Oh, no, Creepella. We're just as repulsive as ever we were.

  Creepela : Oh, thank goodness for that.
