Fred Flintstone : Remember that little boy who chopped down the cherry tree? And then, when his father asked who did it, he said, ''I cannot tell a lie. I did it.''
Barney Rubble : Then what happened?
Fred Flintstone : Nothing. He had told the truth, and his father didn't do a thing to him. Not a thing.
Barney Rubble : Well, how could he? The kid was holding a hatchet at the time.

[when Fred insists on telling Wilma the truth]
Fred Flintstone : Well, if this happened to you, wouldn't you tell your wife?
Barney Rubble : Well, uh, sure, except for one thing.
Fred Flintstone : What's that?
Barney Rubble : Fear!
-
Barney Rubble : Guess we better quit, Fred. Your mind's not on the game.
Fred Flintstone : Oh, you are so right. That kid Arnold playing detective has got me worried. I keep seeing me doing 20 years on the rock pile for stealing my own money.

Clerk : Oh yes, let's see now, bowling balls. Ah yes, here it is. Our best seller, and it's marked down.
Fred Flintstone : Black, huh? Does it come in brown?
Clerk : Brown. You did say brown, didn't you?
Fred Flintstone : Yes.
Clerk : [shows him a bowling ball] Brown.
Fred Flintstone : What do you think, Barney?
Barney Rubble : Gee, I don't know Fred.
Fred Flintstone : You're right, black was better.
Clerk : Black?
[shoves a bowling ball at Fred again]
Clerk : Black.
Fred Flintstone : The first one was blacker!
Clerk : [getting annoyed] This IS the first one!
Fred Flintstone : What do you think, Barney?
Barney Rubble : Come to think of it, brown wasn't bad.
Fred Flintstone : No, no it wasn't.
Clerk : [sarcastically] Maybe you'd rather have it in baby blue, to go with your eyes.
Barney Rubble : How come these are marked down?
Clerk : They've been slightly used in tournament play.
Fred Flintstone : What shape is this ball in?
Clerk : Generally speaking, round.
Fred Flintstone : What can I get that's a little more catchy?
Clerk : I know, how about the measles?
Fred Flintstone : How about the measles? What is with this guy?
-
Fred Flintstone : How about that, Barney? She was saving that money to buy a present for me.
Barney Rubble : Women. You just can't trust them.
Fred Flintstone : Well, I guess there's only one thing to do.
Barney Rubble : Volunteer as an astronaut?
Fred Flintstone : No. I'll just tell her what happened. I was looking through the dresser for a hairpin to fix the toaster, saw her money, and took it.
Barney Rubble : Being an astronaut is safer.
-
Barney Rubble : Uh-oh. Here comes Arnold.
Fred Flintstone : What now, Sherlock?
Arnold : I've been looking at the windows. No sign of forceful entry.
Fred Flintstone : So what?
Arnold : And nothing else in the room was disturbed. The thief knew right where to go.
Fred Flintstone : So what?
Arnold : So, it must be someone who has been in the house before, and often.
[Fred remains silent]
Barney Rubble : Uh, go ahead, Fred. Say, ''So what?''
-
Fred Flintstone : [to a burglar] Say, pal, how would you like to make a couple of bucks the easy way?
Silky : Look, I apologize for having a one-track mind, but couldn't we finish the stickup first and talk business later?
Fred Flintstone : Nope. I want you to break into a house, leave money there, and leave.
Silky : You want me to put money in the house? What are you trying to do, revolutionize my business?
Barney Rubble : Well, uh, this is kind of special.
Silky : But how can I face my family? And what would the boys downtown say?
Barney Rubble : We wouldn't squeal.
Fred Flintstone : All you have to do is break into the bedroom, put the money in the drawer with this note saying you're sorry you took it.
Silky : But I didn't take it! That would be like telling a fib.
