The Flintstones (1960–1966): Season 3, Episode 15 - Flash Gun Freddie - full transcript
Fred's new "Polarock" camera is an occasion for all kinds of misadventure for him and Barney.
Now, this is what we pros
call an action shot.
- Cameraman ready?
- Ready.
Have you got the food,
Mrs. Milrock?
Coming. There you are,
mother's little darling.
Now, do what
the nice man says.
Step back, everybody.
When I get her
to smile,
Snap her picture
quick, Barney-Boy.
Now, my little angel,
Smile.
Coochie, coochie,
coochie.
Bbbbbbll!
Come on! Give me that
great big smile.
Ah boo boo boo boo boo!
Come on.
Give it to me.
She sure gave it
to you.
Ha ha ha ha!
[Squawk]
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Let's ride with the family
down the street
Through the courtesy
Of Fred's two feet
When you're with
the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo
time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
Boy, what a way
to spend a vacation,
Trying to take Dino
to the vet for his shots.
There's only one way
to grab a wily dinosaur,
And that's to sneak up on him
when he's snoozing.
One mention
of the word shot,
He'll be off like a herd
of water buffaloes.
Easy now.
Fred, haven't you taken Dino
for his shots yet?
Aah!
Oh, thanks, Wilma,
You're a big help.
Oh, Fred.
Why don't you give up?
We can just have the vet
make a house call.
Nothin' doin'.
This is a challenge.
No dinosaur's
Going to make
a donkey out of me.
[Arr arr arr]
It's no use, dino.
You may as well give up.
Gotcha.
Ok, dino,
I'm taking you in.
Help!
I can last as long
as you can.
You better give up.
Uh-Oh. Hold it.
Hold it!
Well, at least
I got you,
And I'm not letting go
until we get to the vet's.
Thanks, doc.
I'll pick him up later.
Boy, if it isn't
pick up dino,
It's pick up meat
at the market.
Now look who
wants to be picked up.
Going my way?
Hop in, Barney.
Thanks, Fred.
Oh, come on! Come on!
Let's go!
Thank me some other time.
Well, it was nice if you
to pick me up.
If I do much more
picking up,
Somebody's gonna have to
pick me up off the floor.
Staying home
on our vacation
Is the best idea
we ever had, Fred.
It'll save us
a lot of dough.
Yeah,
but I didn't figure
We'd have
to do the shopping.
Well, what's
the difference?
We didn't have
nothing to do anyway.
Maybe you didn't,
Barney,
But this was going to be
my put-And-Take week.
"Put-And-Take"?
What does that mean?
I was going to
put a couple of points
On my bowling score
And take a couple
off my golf score.
Well, here we are,
Barney boy.
The bedrock drugstore.
Hey, they're
having a dollar sale.
Yeah. I think
I'll buy some
If they're
cheap enough.
Heh heh heh!
Well, afternoon,
Barney.
Long time
no see.
Maybe you ought to have
your glasses changed, harry.
Oh, Barney, Barney.
You are the one.
And how's your
charming wife today?
As charming as usual.
And your friend,
old fatso Flintstone?
I notice he still
hasn't found out
Where the public library is.
This ain't a free
reading room, you know!
It just so happens,
wise guy,
I ain't reading.
I'm looking
at the pictures.
Say, now, this looks
interesting.
Wow.
Real horrible tales
Well, they don't have to
make them that real.
Hey, hold it!
Hold it!
What do you think
you're doing?
I'm buying
a comic book.
Not that one,
you ain't.
I was just
going to look at it.
But this is
the one I want.
The rules
of this game, sonny,
Is first come,
first serve.
Well,
I got it first.
But I seen it first.
Oh, yeah?
We'll see
about that.
Don't they teach kids
manners anymore?
Hey! Wait a minute!
I'm not finished yet!
I have a paying customer
for this magazine.
Do you mind?
Thank you.
Snitcher.
[Muttering]
Mmm. Say now,
I've never seen
this magazine before.
Hmm.
"Why not turn your
leisure-Time hobby into cash?"
Cash.
That's a great idea.
Hey, Barney!
I got it,
Barney!
You have?
Well, uh, maybe harry
can give you something
To get rid of it.
I wish I had something
to get rid of him.
Alright, alright,
never mind the cracks.
Just let me see
the best camera you got.
You really want to
buy something, for cash?
And money
is no object.
Maybe not to you,
but I'm stingy.
This is
an instant polarock.
Say, that looks
pretty good.
I don't think
your friend can use it.
You got to know how
to count to 10.
Alright!
Alright, wise guy,
We'll take it.
We?
Don't argue, Barney.
Pay the man.
Yeah, that's my buddy.
When he buys, I pay.
But, Fred, we don't know
nothing about photography.
What's to know?
You point the camera
and snap the picture.
Yeah, but how do you know
what to point the camera at?
It tells how
in the book.
The best pictures
Are subjects that excite
the photographer most.
It's easy.
You mean you
can make a living
Just taking pictures
of food?
Oh, you're asking
for it.
The boys will
be back soon, Betty.
We'd better have some
more errands for them.
Yeah.
First day of vacation,
And they're getting
underfoot already.
Isn't it the truth?
Oops.
Out of water again.
A little more pressure,
please.
Wow. This makes
the 10th snootful.
They must be washing
every dish in the house.
Oh, I wish we
had enough saved
For a dishwashing machine.
Say, that reminds me.
I saw the one
you wanted at 50% off.
Really? Well,
right after lunch,
We'll get my money out
of the bank and buy it.
Please do.
I'm getting
dishpan quills.
Fred: Wilma, baby!
We're home!
Hmm. Fred sounds
pretty cheerful.
Yes.
It worries me.
Baby doll, how would you
like to be the wife
Of a very wealthy
photographer?
Uh-Uh. I'd rather
stay married to you.
This is our ticket
to fame and fortune.
Wait till I get it
in focus.
This is what we pros
call a head shot.
Squawk! Oh, well.
Half a head's
better than none.
Just take a look
at this.
Hmm...very nice.
Fred, how much did you
pay for that camera?
I have not spent
one thin dime.
Barney?
Well, what could I do?
I was outvoted.
Well, you take it
right back.
Just a minute, Betty.
Boys, will you excuse us
for a minute?
It's not an expensive
camera, Betty.
Let them keep it.
I'll pay for half of it,
And it will keep them
out of trouble
For the rest
of their vacation.
Wilma, you're a genius.
Fred,
if you and Barney
Want to be photographers,
go ahead.
Well, I'm glad you see
things my way for once.
Shall we take
our leave, mr. Rubble?
Yeah, let's take it.
Zabba-Dabba-Do
do zoo boo-Boo
And a scooby
scooby scooby
Oh, they look like they're
going to enjoy their vacation.
I don't know
about them,
But I know we will.
Out, out, out,
dino.
[Arr arr arr]
Ok, ok, ok.
You can come along,
But be a good boy.
Ok, partner,
where do we start?
Well, what's it say
In the photography
book?
Well, let's see.
"Page one. Baby pictures.
"No parent can resist
having a picture taken
Of his lovable
youngster."
Yeah, that's it.
Who do we know who's got
a lovable youngster?
Barney, to parents,
All youngsters
are lovable,
Even as you and me
once were.
True, true.
Hey, didn't harvey milrock's
wife just have a baby?
That's right.
They had a little girl.
Well, what are we
waiting for?
Hey, the sign says mail.
You said it was a female.
Barney,
do you want to be
A professional
photographer
Or an amateur
comedian?
Uh, did I hear
a car, dear?
It's that noisy
Fred Flintstone
And his shadow
Barney rubble.
Oh, boy.
Probably with another one
of their harebrained schemes.
Don't you dare
let them in.
Hey, the milrocks
must have moved.
There's a family
named quarantine
Living here now.
Hey, harv!
It's Fred Flintstone.
I come to take a picture
of your lovable youngster,
Absolutely free
of charge.
That ought to get him
out here.
Sorry, buddy,
there's nobody home.
Ouch!
That's getting
The old foot
in the door, Fred.
It's a free picture,
harv.
Did you say,
uh, free?
I did.
Come right in,
old buddy.
Come in.
Look at the little darling.
You must admit,
she's very pretty.
Yeah,
and very slippery, too.
Remember, Fred,
you said it was for free.
Absolutely.
Of course, there
will be a small charge
For the hundreds
of copies
You'll probably want
For your friends
and relatives.
Now, don't expect
Ordinary-Type
baby pictures.
We do
the unusual-Type poses.
Get this, Barney.
Hurry! Get a close-Up.
Right, Fred.
Now we give it a little
bit of hocus-Focus,
A little bit
of watch-The-Birdy,
And then we
clickety-Click.
Youch!
And here,
my good friends,
Is a picture you'll
be proud to send
To all your friends
and relatives.
Now, this is what we pros
call an action shot.
Cameraman ready?
Ready.
Have you got the food,
mrs. Milrock?
Coming. There you are,
mother's little darling.
Now, do what
the nice man says.
Step back, everybody.
When I get her
to smile,
Snap her picture
quick, Barney-Boy.
Now, my little angel,
Smile.
Coochie, coochie,
coochie.
Bbbbbbll!
Come on! Give me that
great big smile.
Ah boo boo boo boo boo!
Come on.
Give it to me.
She sure gave it
to you.
Ha ha ha ha!
These candid shots are
really our specialty.
Goo goo, goo goo.
I think we got
a masterpiece.
Goo goo goo.
Give her back
that bar of soap, Barney.
That will make
a cute picture.
Alright.
I guarantee this to be
a real knockout.
Help!
[Crash]
My, my. The things
some people try
To send
through the mail.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here!
I hope you're not going
airmail, mr. Flintstone.
At the new rate
per pound,
You'd cost a fortune.
This will make
a great shot.
Hold still now, dino.
Get ready, Barney.
Hey! Isn't that
dangerous?
No. The baby
won't hurt Dino.
Goo goo goo goo.
Giddy-Up.
[Yipe]
Dino, come back!
My baby!
Fred Flintstone,
You bring my baby
right back here.
I'm going to
sue you
For every dime
you've got!
Dino, dino,
come back here!
Giddy-Up.
Dino, wait!
Hold it!
Do you think harv
will really sue you, Fred?
What for? I got
his kid back, didn't I?
Forget it.
What's it say
on page two
Of that
photography book?
Uh, let's see, uh...
"a sense of humor
Is important
for a photographer."
Now, if there's
anything I got,
You know it's
a sense of humor.
You sure broke me up
taking those baby pictures.
Gag pictures,
that's the angle.
Look at that.
Get the camera,
Barney.
[Snoring]
Oh, boy, what a shot.
You mean that sign
that says "men at work"?
Yeah, but what's
this guy doing?
Just sleeping,
that's all.
Hey, that's funny.
Yeah. Now, be quiet.
I don't want to wake him up
and spoil the shot.
A picture like this
should be worth a bundle.
Now, to make sure
I got everything in
And the focus
is just right.
A picture like that
Could lose me
my job, wise guy.
Very funny.
You think
that's funny,
You should have seen him
taking baby pictures.
Ah, this is what we're
going to specialize in,
Nature pictures.
Yeah. Here, you
can't get clobbered.
Shh.
[Squawking]
What's up, Fred?
You hear anything?
Well, just birds
chirping.
Just birds?
There's a pterodactyl
nest around here.
Don't that mean
anything to you?
Yeah. It means there's
a mother pterodactyl
Around someplace,
And I'm getting the heck
out of here.
Barney, come here.
I found them.
Now, there's a picture
you don't see very often.
[Squawking]
The less often, the better,
for our health.
And I know just how
to get that picture.
You do?
Yep, yep. From the tip
of that branch.
That branch
won't hold you, Fred.
You're too heavy.
Yeah, I think you
might be right, Barney,
So you get out there.
Here's the camera.
Come on,
I'll give you a boost.
You know something?
You might be
a little too heavy, too,
But we got to take
that gamble.
Will you be careful?
I don't want to lose
this picture.
How about losing me?
Hey, I just
had a thought.
How am I
going to get back up?
We'll worry about that
after you get the picture.
First things first.
[Squawk squawk]
It's the mother
pterodactyl.
[Squawk squawk]
Duck, Barney!
You got to be kidding.
Careful, Barney.
Careful with that camera.
Oh, you're telling
the wrong one
To be careful. Help!
Don't panic, Barney!
[Squawk squawk]
Say, as long
as you're up there,
Why don't you get
some aerial shots?
She's heading
right for you, Fred.
Now, smile, and I'll
take your picture.
Whoops!
How's this?
You alright, Fred?
Get off my back.
Gee, I hope the camera
didn't get busted.
Ah, there it is.
It looks ok.
Forget it, Barney.
As of this moment,
we're retiring
From the photography
business.
Hey, look.
The camera must have
snapped our picture
When it hit the ground.
Come on, Barney.
Let's go bowling.
Say, that was great!
That was the funniest thing
I ever saw.
Imagine. A human being
bombed by another human
That was dropped
by a pterodactyl.
The only trouble is,
nobody would ever believe it.
The picture, Barney.
Right.
Seeing is believing.
Great! Just great!
I'm a reporter
on the bedrock gazette.
My editor will pay money
for a picture like this.
You interested
in making a deal?
Are we?
Take us to your leader, mac.
Now, just let's get
one thing straight.
You ain't dealing
With a couple
of amateurs.
Oh, I could tell that
in a minute.
And you don't get
the picture
For a cent less
than 2 bucks.
It's a deal.
I was ready
to give the chump 200.
Anytime you get
more pictures like this,
We'll buy them.
Just keep the cash handy.
We work fast.
Editor: you better get
some new equipment.
That camera's no good
for newspaper work.
Funny you should say that.
We were just on our way
to get a whole new outfit.
Where we going to
get the money
For a new outfit, Fred?
You got some loot
in the bank, ain't ya?
Yeah, but that's Betty's
dishwashing machine money.
So borrow it
for a while.
I don't know, Fred.
It's simple
arithmetic, Barney.
It don't add up for me.
Look,
it took us a minute
To get that picture,
right?
Well...
and at 2 bucks a minute,
Barney,
This is the chance
of a lifetime.
Now come on!
Let's get that dough.
Do we really need
all this equipment, Fred?
Like what, for instance?
Like this
submersible lens
For taking pictures
underwater
On nights when
there's a full moon.
Barney, how long is it gonna
take me to convince you
That I know
what I'm doing?
Well, I'm sorry, Fred.
I was only asking.
Put that stuff in the car,
and let's go home.
Right after lunch,
We'll hit the road
to fame and fortune.
Gee, I wouldn't want to
miss that sale.
I hope the boys
aren't late for lunch.
Are you kidding?
The last time Fred was late
for a meal was, um...
um...
come to think of it,
He's got
a perfect eating record.
Fred:
Wilma.
And still undefeated,
Fred Flintstone.
Hiya, girls.
What's for lunch?
The usual, a 5-Pound
brontosaurus steak.
When are you gonna have
something different?
Like what,
mr. Flintstone?
Like a 10-Pound
brontosaurus steak.
Look, would you boys mind
Driving Wilma and me
downtown after lunch?
With the greatest
of pleasure, mrs. Rubble.
What are you gonna
do downtown?
Well, there's a big sale
at gimrock's.
I'm going to take our
money out of the bank
And get
that dishwasher.
We'll not only
drive you down,
But we'll pick you
uhh...uhh...
you're going to the bank?
Let's go, Barney.
Fred, where are you going?
We just remembered
an important appointment.
Oh, for goodness sake.
Now we'll have to
take the bus.
Now we're really
in trouble.
Look, barn, look.
It'll take the girls
at least two hours
To get downtown by bus,
So we get a bunch
of news pictures,
Collect our dough,
And beat them
to the bank.
But where are we
gonna get the pictures?
If you was
going to be news,
Where would you be?
Dropping from a pterodactyl
onto your head.
It's always me who
has to do the thinking.
Hey, Fred, I've been up here
for an hour already.
This ain't news
Unless I break
the flagpole-Sitting record.
Well, what's the record?
104 days.
Oh, now he tells me.
Get down from there,
fathead.
That's what we'll do.
We'll go to the bank
And get a loan
on our equipment
And have the dough back
when the girls get there.
Yeah, but will they
lend us enough?
For this valuable stuff,
are you kidding?
Are you kidding?
I'm a bank manager,
not a junk dealer.
Out, out, out!
There's
a secondhand store
Just
down the street.
Hey, uh, shall we try
the secondhand store, Fred?
Nah. We couldn't
get enough.
Why do you let me con you
into these nutty ideas, Barney?
'Cause we're friends,
And friends got to
listen to friends.
Well, from now on,
Barney--
Watch where
you're going, mac.
How'd you like
a fat lip, bud?
Hold it, rocky. We don't want
any trouble with this guy.
Oh, yeah.
I'm terribly sorry, sir.
Please forgive me.
It won't happen again.
Ok, ok.
Now, let's see,
where was I?
Oh, yeah.
From now on, Barney,
You've got to promise
you'll never listen
To anything
this friend says. Nothing.
Ok, Fred, if that's
the way you want it.
[Alarm bell]
Man: help!
Help, police!
Help! It's a holdup!
Help! Stop them!
Help!
It's a holdup!
Give me the camera, quick.
Sorry, Fred.
You told me not
to listen to you.
Don't be technical.
This is the chance
of a lifetime.
Smile, gentlemen.
Got it.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Somebody
just took our picture.
Who? Who? Who?
That goony-Looking guy getting
into the car over there.
Uh-Oh. Those robbers
are coming after us, Fred.
We'll outrun them.
Take the camera,
Barney.
Guard it
with your life.
Gee, Fred, I think
we should have stayed
With taking pictures
of the lovable youngsters.
Hang on! I'm gonna turn
down this side street.
Now we got 'em!
They turned
into a dead-End street.
Good.
Block the entrance.
Hide the camera,
Barney.
Sure,
but where?
Anyplace.
Here they come.
Let's get 'em,
knuckles.
Right, rockjaw.
[Bam]
[Pow]
Ouch!
Ow!
[Bam]
[Pow]
Ouch!
Ow!
Rockjaw:
ok. Hand it over.
We give up.
Here's the camera.
Thanks
for the cooperation.
[Sirens]
It's the cops!
Let's beat it, rockjaw!
Wait a minute.
I'll bust
the camera first.
Oh, Barney, I told you
To guard that camera
with your life.
Sorry, Fred,
But I did save
a little something...
a picture.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Bedrock bugle-Gazette,
here we come.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
10, 20, 30, 40.
Just enough, Barney.
We can put Betty's
money back now.
I hope they don't get
to the bank before we do.
Let's go.
Well, we made it, Barney.
Yeah.
Betty will never know
We used her money.
Now let's go home
and enjoy our vacation.
After today,
we need one.
Oh, my aching back.
Oh, boy, I got bruises
on top of my bruises.
So help me, Barney,
I've had it.
I'll never take
another picture.
Yeah.
That goes double.
Betty:
oh, Barney?
In here, Betty.
You awake, Fred?
Sure, sure.
You want Barney and me
To bring in
Betty's dishwasher?
She didn't get one.
Uh-Uh. We put
our money together
And got a surprise
for you both.
A surprise?
Uh-Huh. Stand up,
close your eyes,
And hold out
your hands.
So you both can enjoy
your vacation together,
We got you these.
Cameras?
Wilma: yes, the best
we could buy.
Gee, uh, thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah. It's swell.
Come on, Fred. Let's go
get clobbered some more--
I mean, take
some more pictures.
Yeah.
Why didn't I pick
a safe hobby
Like wrestling
saber-Toothed tigers?
Oh, boy.
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Someday, maybe Fred
Will win the fight
Then that cat will stay out
For the night
When you're
With the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Wilma!
call an action shot.
- Cameraman ready?
- Ready.
Have you got the food,
Mrs. Milrock?
Coming. There you are,
mother's little darling.
Now, do what
the nice man says.
Step back, everybody.
When I get her
to smile,
Snap her picture
quick, Barney-Boy.
Now, my little angel,
Smile.
Coochie, coochie,
coochie.
Bbbbbbll!
Come on! Give me that
great big smile.
Ah boo boo boo boo boo!
Come on.
Give it to me.
She sure gave it
to you.
Ha ha ha ha!
[Squawk]
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Let's ride with the family
down the street
Through the courtesy
Of Fred's two feet
When you're with
the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo
time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
Boy, what a way
to spend a vacation,
Trying to take Dino
to the vet for his shots.
There's only one way
to grab a wily dinosaur,
And that's to sneak up on him
when he's snoozing.
One mention
of the word shot,
He'll be off like a herd
of water buffaloes.
Easy now.
Fred, haven't you taken Dino
for his shots yet?
Aah!
Oh, thanks, Wilma,
You're a big help.
Oh, Fred.
Why don't you give up?
We can just have the vet
make a house call.
Nothin' doin'.
This is a challenge.
No dinosaur's
Going to make
a donkey out of me.
[Arr arr arr]
It's no use, dino.
You may as well give up.
Gotcha.
Ok, dino,
I'm taking you in.
Help!
I can last as long
as you can.
You better give up.
Uh-Oh. Hold it.
Hold it!
Well, at least
I got you,
And I'm not letting go
until we get to the vet's.
Thanks, doc.
I'll pick him up later.
Boy, if it isn't
pick up dino,
It's pick up meat
at the market.
Now look who
wants to be picked up.
Going my way?
Hop in, Barney.
Thanks, Fred.
Oh, come on! Come on!
Let's go!
Thank me some other time.
Well, it was nice if you
to pick me up.
If I do much more
picking up,
Somebody's gonna have to
pick me up off the floor.
Staying home
on our vacation
Is the best idea
we ever had, Fred.
It'll save us
a lot of dough.
Yeah,
but I didn't figure
We'd have
to do the shopping.
Well, what's
the difference?
We didn't have
nothing to do anyway.
Maybe you didn't,
Barney,
But this was going to be
my put-And-Take week.
"Put-And-Take"?
What does that mean?
I was going to
put a couple of points
On my bowling score
And take a couple
off my golf score.
Well, here we are,
Barney boy.
The bedrock drugstore.
Hey, they're
having a dollar sale.
Yeah. I think
I'll buy some
If they're
cheap enough.
Heh heh heh!
Well, afternoon,
Barney.
Long time
no see.
Maybe you ought to have
your glasses changed, harry.
Oh, Barney, Barney.
You are the one.
And how's your
charming wife today?
As charming as usual.
And your friend,
old fatso Flintstone?
I notice he still
hasn't found out
Where the public library is.
This ain't a free
reading room, you know!
It just so happens,
wise guy,
I ain't reading.
I'm looking
at the pictures.
Say, now, this looks
interesting.
Wow.
Real horrible tales
Well, they don't have to
make them that real.
Hey, hold it!
Hold it!
What do you think
you're doing?
I'm buying
a comic book.
Not that one,
you ain't.
I was just
going to look at it.
But this is
the one I want.
The rules
of this game, sonny,
Is first come,
first serve.
Well,
I got it first.
But I seen it first.
Oh, yeah?
We'll see
about that.
Don't they teach kids
manners anymore?
Hey! Wait a minute!
I'm not finished yet!
I have a paying customer
for this magazine.
Do you mind?
Thank you.
Snitcher.
[Muttering]
Mmm. Say now,
I've never seen
this magazine before.
Hmm.
"Why not turn your
leisure-Time hobby into cash?"
Cash.
That's a great idea.
Hey, Barney!
I got it,
Barney!
You have?
Well, uh, maybe harry
can give you something
To get rid of it.
I wish I had something
to get rid of him.
Alright, alright,
never mind the cracks.
Just let me see
the best camera you got.
You really want to
buy something, for cash?
And money
is no object.
Maybe not to you,
but I'm stingy.
This is
an instant polarock.
Say, that looks
pretty good.
I don't think
your friend can use it.
You got to know how
to count to 10.
Alright!
Alright, wise guy,
We'll take it.
We?
Don't argue, Barney.
Pay the man.
Yeah, that's my buddy.
When he buys, I pay.
But, Fred, we don't know
nothing about photography.
What's to know?
You point the camera
and snap the picture.
Yeah, but how do you know
what to point the camera at?
It tells how
in the book.
The best pictures
Are subjects that excite
the photographer most.
It's easy.
You mean you
can make a living
Just taking pictures
of food?
Oh, you're asking
for it.
The boys will
be back soon, Betty.
We'd better have some
more errands for them.
Yeah.
First day of vacation,
And they're getting
underfoot already.
Isn't it the truth?
Oops.
Out of water again.
A little more pressure,
please.
Wow. This makes
the 10th snootful.
They must be washing
every dish in the house.
Oh, I wish we
had enough saved
For a dishwashing machine.
Say, that reminds me.
I saw the one
you wanted at 50% off.
Really? Well,
right after lunch,
We'll get my money out
of the bank and buy it.
Please do.
I'm getting
dishpan quills.
Fred: Wilma, baby!
We're home!
Hmm. Fred sounds
pretty cheerful.
Yes.
It worries me.
Baby doll, how would you
like to be the wife
Of a very wealthy
photographer?
Uh-Uh. I'd rather
stay married to you.
This is our ticket
to fame and fortune.
Wait till I get it
in focus.
This is what we pros
call a head shot.
Squawk! Oh, well.
Half a head's
better than none.
Just take a look
at this.
Hmm...very nice.
Fred, how much did you
pay for that camera?
I have not spent
one thin dime.
Barney?
Well, what could I do?
I was outvoted.
Well, you take it
right back.
Just a minute, Betty.
Boys, will you excuse us
for a minute?
It's not an expensive
camera, Betty.
Let them keep it.
I'll pay for half of it,
And it will keep them
out of trouble
For the rest
of their vacation.
Wilma, you're a genius.
Fred,
if you and Barney
Want to be photographers,
go ahead.
Well, I'm glad you see
things my way for once.
Shall we take
our leave, mr. Rubble?
Yeah, let's take it.
Zabba-Dabba-Do
do zoo boo-Boo
And a scooby
scooby scooby
Oh, they look like they're
going to enjoy their vacation.
I don't know
about them,
But I know we will.
Out, out, out,
dino.
[Arr arr arr]
Ok, ok, ok.
You can come along,
But be a good boy.
Ok, partner,
where do we start?
Well, what's it say
In the photography
book?
Well, let's see.
"Page one. Baby pictures.
"No parent can resist
having a picture taken
Of his lovable
youngster."
Yeah, that's it.
Who do we know who's got
a lovable youngster?
Barney, to parents,
All youngsters
are lovable,
Even as you and me
once were.
True, true.
Hey, didn't harvey milrock's
wife just have a baby?
That's right.
They had a little girl.
Well, what are we
waiting for?
Hey, the sign says mail.
You said it was a female.
Barney,
do you want to be
A professional
photographer
Or an amateur
comedian?
Uh, did I hear
a car, dear?
It's that noisy
Fred Flintstone
And his shadow
Barney rubble.
Oh, boy.
Probably with another one
of their harebrained schemes.
Don't you dare
let them in.
Hey, the milrocks
must have moved.
There's a family
named quarantine
Living here now.
Hey, harv!
It's Fred Flintstone.
I come to take a picture
of your lovable youngster,
Absolutely free
of charge.
That ought to get him
out here.
Sorry, buddy,
there's nobody home.
Ouch!
That's getting
The old foot
in the door, Fred.
It's a free picture,
harv.
Did you say,
uh, free?
I did.
Come right in,
old buddy.
Come in.
Look at the little darling.
You must admit,
she's very pretty.
Yeah,
and very slippery, too.
Remember, Fred,
you said it was for free.
Absolutely.
Of course, there
will be a small charge
For the hundreds
of copies
You'll probably want
For your friends
and relatives.
Now, don't expect
Ordinary-Type
baby pictures.
We do
the unusual-Type poses.
Get this, Barney.
Hurry! Get a close-Up.
Right, Fred.
Now we give it a little
bit of hocus-Focus,
A little bit
of watch-The-Birdy,
And then we
clickety-Click.
Youch!
And here,
my good friends,
Is a picture you'll
be proud to send
To all your friends
and relatives.
Now, this is what we pros
call an action shot.
Cameraman ready?
Ready.
Have you got the food,
mrs. Milrock?
Coming. There you are,
mother's little darling.
Now, do what
the nice man says.
Step back, everybody.
When I get her
to smile,
Snap her picture
quick, Barney-Boy.
Now, my little angel,
Smile.
Coochie, coochie,
coochie.
Bbbbbbll!
Come on! Give me that
great big smile.
Ah boo boo boo boo boo!
Come on.
Give it to me.
She sure gave it
to you.
Ha ha ha ha!
These candid shots are
really our specialty.
Goo goo, goo goo.
I think we got
a masterpiece.
Goo goo goo.
Give her back
that bar of soap, Barney.
That will make
a cute picture.
Alright.
I guarantee this to be
a real knockout.
Help!
[Crash]
My, my. The things
some people try
To send
through the mail.
Get me out of here.
Get me out of here!
I hope you're not going
airmail, mr. Flintstone.
At the new rate
per pound,
You'd cost a fortune.
This will make
a great shot.
Hold still now, dino.
Get ready, Barney.
Hey! Isn't that
dangerous?
No. The baby
won't hurt Dino.
Goo goo goo goo.
Giddy-Up.
[Yipe]
Dino, come back!
My baby!
Fred Flintstone,
You bring my baby
right back here.
I'm going to
sue you
For every dime
you've got!
Dino, dino,
come back here!
Giddy-Up.
Dino, wait!
Hold it!
Do you think harv
will really sue you, Fred?
What for? I got
his kid back, didn't I?
Forget it.
What's it say
on page two
Of that
photography book?
Uh, let's see, uh...
"a sense of humor
Is important
for a photographer."
Now, if there's
anything I got,
You know it's
a sense of humor.
You sure broke me up
taking those baby pictures.
Gag pictures,
that's the angle.
Look at that.
Get the camera,
Barney.
[Snoring]
Oh, boy, what a shot.
You mean that sign
that says "men at work"?
Yeah, but what's
this guy doing?
Just sleeping,
that's all.
Hey, that's funny.
Yeah. Now, be quiet.
I don't want to wake him up
and spoil the shot.
A picture like this
should be worth a bundle.
Now, to make sure
I got everything in
And the focus
is just right.
A picture like that
Could lose me
my job, wise guy.
Very funny.
You think
that's funny,
You should have seen him
taking baby pictures.
Ah, this is what we're
going to specialize in,
Nature pictures.
Yeah. Here, you
can't get clobbered.
Shh.
[Squawking]
What's up, Fred?
You hear anything?
Well, just birds
chirping.
Just birds?
There's a pterodactyl
nest around here.
Don't that mean
anything to you?
Yeah. It means there's
a mother pterodactyl
Around someplace,
And I'm getting the heck
out of here.
Barney, come here.
I found them.
Now, there's a picture
you don't see very often.
[Squawking]
The less often, the better,
for our health.
And I know just how
to get that picture.
You do?
Yep, yep. From the tip
of that branch.
That branch
won't hold you, Fred.
You're too heavy.
Yeah, I think you
might be right, Barney,
So you get out there.
Here's the camera.
Come on,
I'll give you a boost.
You know something?
You might be
a little too heavy, too,
But we got to take
that gamble.
Will you be careful?
I don't want to lose
this picture.
How about losing me?
Hey, I just
had a thought.
How am I
going to get back up?
We'll worry about that
after you get the picture.
First things first.
[Squawk squawk]
It's the mother
pterodactyl.
[Squawk squawk]
Duck, Barney!
You got to be kidding.
Careful, Barney.
Careful with that camera.
Oh, you're telling
the wrong one
To be careful. Help!
Don't panic, Barney!
[Squawk squawk]
Say, as long
as you're up there,
Why don't you get
some aerial shots?
She's heading
right for you, Fred.
Now, smile, and I'll
take your picture.
Whoops!
How's this?
You alright, Fred?
Get off my back.
Gee, I hope the camera
didn't get busted.
Ah, there it is.
It looks ok.
Forget it, Barney.
As of this moment,
we're retiring
From the photography
business.
Hey, look.
The camera must have
snapped our picture
When it hit the ground.
Come on, Barney.
Let's go bowling.
Say, that was great!
That was the funniest thing
I ever saw.
Imagine. A human being
bombed by another human
That was dropped
by a pterodactyl.
The only trouble is,
nobody would ever believe it.
The picture, Barney.
Right.
Seeing is believing.
Great! Just great!
I'm a reporter
on the bedrock gazette.
My editor will pay money
for a picture like this.
You interested
in making a deal?
Are we?
Take us to your leader, mac.
Now, just let's get
one thing straight.
You ain't dealing
With a couple
of amateurs.
Oh, I could tell that
in a minute.
And you don't get
the picture
For a cent less
than 2 bucks.
It's a deal.
I was ready
to give the chump 200.
Anytime you get
more pictures like this,
We'll buy them.
Just keep the cash handy.
We work fast.
Editor: you better get
some new equipment.
That camera's no good
for newspaper work.
Funny you should say that.
We were just on our way
to get a whole new outfit.
Where we going to
get the money
For a new outfit, Fred?
You got some loot
in the bank, ain't ya?
Yeah, but that's Betty's
dishwashing machine money.
So borrow it
for a while.
I don't know, Fred.
It's simple
arithmetic, Barney.
It don't add up for me.
Look,
it took us a minute
To get that picture,
right?
Well...
and at 2 bucks a minute,
Barney,
This is the chance
of a lifetime.
Now come on!
Let's get that dough.
Do we really need
all this equipment, Fred?
Like what, for instance?
Like this
submersible lens
For taking pictures
underwater
On nights when
there's a full moon.
Barney, how long is it gonna
take me to convince you
That I know
what I'm doing?
Well, I'm sorry, Fred.
I was only asking.
Put that stuff in the car,
and let's go home.
Right after lunch,
We'll hit the road
to fame and fortune.
Gee, I wouldn't want to
miss that sale.
I hope the boys
aren't late for lunch.
Are you kidding?
The last time Fred was late
for a meal was, um...
um...
come to think of it,
He's got
a perfect eating record.
Fred:
Wilma.
And still undefeated,
Fred Flintstone.
Hiya, girls.
What's for lunch?
The usual, a 5-Pound
brontosaurus steak.
When are you gonna have
something different?
Like what,
mr. Flintstone?
Like a 10-Pound
brontosaurus steak.
Look, would you boys mind
Driving Wilma and me
downtown after lunch?
With the greatest
of pleasure, mrs. Rubble.
What are you gonna
do downtown?
Well, there's a big sale
at gimrock's.
I'm going to take our
money out of the bank
And get
that dishwasher.
We'll not only
drive you down,
But we'll pick you
uhh...uhh...
you're going to the bank?
Let's go, Barney.
Fred, where are you going?
We just remembered
an important appointment.
Oh, for goodness sake.
Now we'll have to
take the bus.
Now we're really
in trouble.
Look, barn, look.
It'll take the girls
at least two hours
To get downtown by bus,
So we get a bunch
of news pictures,
Collect our dough,
And beat them
to the bank.
But where are we
gonna get the pictures?
If you was
going to be news,
Where would you be?
Dropping from a pterodactyl
onto your head.
It's always me who
has to do the thinking.
Hey, Fred, I've been up here
for an hour already.
This ain't news
Unless I break
the flagpole-Sitting record.
Well, what's the record?
104 days.
Oh, now he tells me.
Get down from there,
fathead.
That's what we'll do.
We'll go to the bank
And get a loan
on our equipment
And have the dough back
when the girls get there.
Yeah, but will they
lend us enough?
For this valuable stuff,
are you kidding?
Are you kidding?
I'm a bank manager,
not a junk dealer.
Out, out, out!
There's
a secondhand store
Just
down the street.
Hey, uh, shall we try
the secondhand store, Fred?
Nah. We couldn't
get enough.
Why do you let me con you
into these nutty ideas, Barney?
'Cause we're friends,
And friends got to
listen to friends.
Well, from now on,
Barney--
Watch where
you're going, mac.
How'd you like
a fat lip, bud?
Hold it, rocky. We don't want
any trouble with this guy.
Oh, yeah.
I'm terribly sorry, sir.
Please forgive me.
It won't happen again.
Ok, ok.
Now, let's see,
where was I?
Oh, yeah.
From now on, Barney,
You've got to promise
you'll never listen
To anything
this friend says. Nothing.
Ok, Fred, if that's
the way you want it.
[Alarm bell]
Man: help!
Help, police!
Help! It's a holdup!
Help! Stop them!
Help!
It's a holdup!
Give me the camera, quick.
Sorry, Fred.
You told me not
to listen to you.
Don't be technical.
This is the chance
of a lifetime.
Smile, gentlemen.
Got it.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Somebody
just took our picture.
Who? Who? Who?
That goony-Looking guy getting
into the car over there.
Uh-Oh. Those robbers
are coming after us, Fred.
We'll outrun them.
Take the camera,
Barney.
Guard it
with your life.
Gee, Fred, I think
we should have stayed
With taking pictures
of the lovable youngsters.
Hang on! I'm gonna turn
down this side street.
Now we got 'em!
They turned
into a dead-End street.
Good.
Block the entrance.
Hide the camera,
Barney.
Sure,
but where?
Anyplace.
Here they come.
Let's get 'em,
knuckles.
Right, rockjaw.
[Bam]
[Pow]
Ouch!
Ow!
[Bam]
[Pow]
Ouch!
Ow!
Rockjaw:
ok. Hand it over.
We give up.
Here's the camera.
Thanks
for the cooperation.
[Sirens]
It's the cops!
Let's beat it, rockjaw!
Wait a minute.
I'll bust
the camera first.
Oh, Barney, I told you
To guard that camera
with your life.
Sorry, Fred,
But I did save
a little something...
a picture.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Bedrock bugle-Gazette,
here we come.
Oh, boy, oh, boy.
10, 20, 30, 40.
Just enough, Barney.
We can put Betty's
money back now.
I hope they don't get
to the bank before we do.
Let's go.
Well, we made it, Barney.
Yeah.
Betty will never know
We used her money.
Now let's go home
and enjoy our vacation.
After today,
we need one.
Oh, my aching back.
Oh, boy, I got bruises
on top of my bruises.
So help me, Barney,
I've had it.
I'll never take
another picture.
Yeah.
That goes double.
Betty:
oh, Barney?
In here, Betty.
You awake, Fred?
Sure, sure.
You want Barney and me
To bring in
Betty's dishwasher?
She didn't get one.
Uh-Uh. We put
our money together
And got a surprise
for you both.
A surprise?
Uh-Huh. Stand up,
close your eyes,
And hold out
your hands.
So you both can enjoy
your vacation together,
We got you these.
Cameras?
Wilma: yes, the best
we could buy.
Gee, uh, thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah. It's swell.
Come on, Fred. Let's go
get clobbered some more--
I mean, take
some more pictures.
Yeah.
Why didn't I pick
a safe hobby
Like wrestling
saber-Toothed tigers?
Oh, boy.
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Someday, maybe Fred
Will win the fight
Then that cat will stay out
For the night
When you're
With the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Wilma!
