Fred! Hey, Fred!
Come back here!
Fred, wake up!
Wake up!

Oh, my gosh.
Fred! Fred!

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
Morning, Betty.
Everything ready for tonight?
Everything's ready,
including Barney.
No. Fred doesn't
suspect a thing.
Every year,
it's the same story.
Fred says not to make
any fuss over his birthday.
Then he sits back
And waits for me
to plan a big party.
This time I'll let him
think I forgot all about it.
Oh, my aching back.
This year, Fred's in
for a big surprise--
A party, that is.
I can't wait
to see his reaction
When he walks
into your house tonight
And we all yell
happy birthday.
Happy birthday, Fred.
Hee hee hee!
You're looking younger
every year.
Yeah.
Happy birthday,
with no muss or fuss
Or party or nothing.
What's with Wilma, anyway?
I tell her, "no party,"
And, for once, she does
what I ask--Nothing.
Maybe she'll surprise me
with a present.
It's the least
she could do for me.
The least you could do
for me is grow a beard.
Well, that's life--
Soap in your eyes
and no towel.
Wilma, is breakfast ready?
[Arr arr arr]
No, Dino! No!
Cut it out!
Cut it out!
Ha ha ha ha!
How do you like
a face full of lather?
Ha ha ha ha!
Ah...ah...ah...
[ah-Choo]
Oh, boy.
Wilma, how's about
breakfast?
Come
and get it!
[Arr arr arr]
Got to go now, Betty.
See you tonight.
Yabba-Dabba-Doo! I'm really
hungry this morning.
Where's breakfast?
Right in front
of you, Fred.
In front of me?
Very funny.
Now, where's breakfast?
It was
right there.
What happened
to it?
[Gulp]
Dino happened to it,
that's what.
Out, Dino.
Go someplace and...
heel.
[Arr arr arr arr]
I'll fix more, Fred,
Then I'm going
over to Betty's.
Oh, yeah, like I heard--
"See you tonight."
You heard that?
Yeah. Hee hee!
But say no more.
I want you to forget
all about tonight.
Why, Fred? We were
just going to
Watch an old movie
on tv.
After reaching
a certain age,
A man doesn't want
any fuss.
Watch an old movie on tv?
Sure. What else?
Well, uh...
uh, nothing, but...
weren't we going to
whoop it up tonight?
Whoop what up?
I want to see
that old movie.
Besides, you should
get to bed early.
You look tired.
Tired? I just woke up.
Fred, after reaching
a certain age,
A man needs
more sleep.
I don't need more sleep,
I'm not a certain age,
And I don't want you
making a fuss
Just because today
is my birthday.
Remember?
Sure, I remember!
And I agree!
We're getting
a little old
For that silly
birthday stuff.
Here's your coffee,
Fred.
I'll see you later.
Hee hee hee hee!
She's not fooling me
with that act.
I bet she bought me
a swell present.
Hmm.
I wonder
where she hid it.
[Wilma]
there. It's finished.
[Betty] are you leaving
room for the candles?
Candles? The cake
isn't big enough
To hold them all.
- Good morning, Wilma.
- Good morning, Barney.
Boy! What a cake!
I know just what Fred will
say when he sees it--
Yabba-Dabba--
Barney! You want
Fred to hear?
Sorry. I forgot
it's a secret.
Got it all straight?
Sure thing. One--I take
Fred to golf course.
Two--Take Fred
to health club.
Three--Return Fred in time
for operation birthday party.
And don't let on you know
it's his birthday.
Don't worry, Wilma.
I can be real sneaky.
Hee hee hee hee!
Nope. I don't see
any present up here.
Hey. Maybe Dino knows.
He's always sniffing around.
Dino! Here, boy!
Come in here,
Dino!
[Arr arr arr]
Hey, Dino,
where did Wilma hide my--
Ooh!
Help!
Fred, Barney's
waiting for you.
Fred! What are you doing?
I'm checking over
my golf clubs.
Do you mind?
No, but Barney's waiting.
Well, go out
And tell him I'll
be right there.
Alright.
Hey, Fred. Let's go.
[Honk honk honk]
Eh, it's a living.
He'll be
right out, Barney.
Tell him
the sooner he goes,
The sooner he'll get
his surprise. Oops!
Fine thing.
Not a present in the house,
No party, no nothing.
I'll just invite some people
over myself.
What's this?
A note.
"Things to take over
for Fred's party--
Food, paper hats."
Ha ha ha!
So she is going to
surprise me.
I wonder where
the party will be.
I bet I can get it
out of Barney.
Hee hee hee!
Okay, Fred.
Play ball!
This one's
too short, Barney.
Give me a real club.
Here you are, Fred.
Catch.
Fore!
Your turn, Barney.
Fore!
What's bugging you
today, Fred?
Oh, nothing.
Only, today being
the day it is,
It makes it hard
to concentrate.
You know
what I mean?
Hee hee hee!
Oh yeah, today is
a very special day.
Thanks, Barney.
Today is groundhog's day.
Groundhog's day?
Is that all
it means to you?
Sure. What else?
Hmm.
Mmm. Oh.
How long you going to
study that shot?
Let's get moving.
Okay, Fred.
I got it figured.
Cootchie, cootchie,
cootchie, cootchie.
Ah...ah...ah...
ah...ah...
[ah-Choo]
Hey, did you get
that shot?
Yeah, I got it.
Right in the eye.
Now let's go home.
You're going the wrong way.
The car's back there.
We're got to go
to the clubhouse first.
Oh, ho! The clubhouse.
So that's where it is.
I mean, you don't want
to go home so early.
Okay, pal.
I am for the clubhouse.
Me, too, so I can unload
these kooks.
Really, barn.
Huh?
Don't you think I ought
to go in first?
Well, why not?
Will I surprise
them!
Yahoo!
I'm here...
everybody.
Well, goody,
goody.
We thought you'd
never make it.
Who's the creep?
Who knows?
Some kind of nut.
We got here
too early, huh?
Too early for what?
I just wanted
to show you something.
Well, don't tell Betty
I bought some new weights.
That's what you dragged
me in here for?
They're
pretty nifty, huh?
Come on.
Let's go.
Sure, but try
these first.
[Crash]
I told you we should have
joined the private club.
Wait till you see
the new health center--
Everything
to make you fit.
What do you mean,
health center?
I got a free
trial membership,
So we'll stop by and
I'll show you around.
Oh, ho! So that's where
they're having my party.
Tell me, barn,
Is something going on
at this health center?
Oh, sure. They got
a lot going on.
Would Wilma like for me
to go along with you, hmm?
Well, yes, Fred,
she would.
Ha ha ha!
That Wilma's
a sly one.
Okay, Barney-Boy.
I am with you.
Pretty fancy place,
huh, Fred?
Yeah. Classy.
Hee hee hee!
I've arranged
a surprise for you.
Oh, really?
Whatever could it be?
First, you got to
close your eyes.
Okay. They're closed.
Then we slip
these belts on.
Huh?
[Garbled] hey,
what's this for, Barney?
It's for
your balloon shape, Fred.
It'll make
a new man of you.
There was nothings wrong
with the old one.
Is this your idea
of a surprise, Barney?
Sure, Fred.
Speed it up, boys.
Help!
Hee hee hee hee!
That will keep Fred busy
for a while.
Hey, I wonder
how the girls are doing.
Here's another
balloon, Betty.
Thanks.
Wilma, you think anything
can go wrong tonight?
I don't think so,
Betty.
Having the party here
at your house
Should throw Fred
off the track.
[Wilma]
there. That's the last.
[Panting]
Oh, 35 balloons
in 1 hour.
My union is going to
hear about this.
Hee hee hee hee!
That will get
the blubber off, freddy-Boy.
Don't just
stand there.
Make this thing
stop.
I can't do it,
Fred.
What do you mean?
I can't
just stand here
And watch an old buddy
turn to blubber.
I also got to keep him
here another hour.
For the last time,
Barney, turn it off!
Okay, Fred.
I'll turn it off.
Hey, what's
the matter, Fred?
I can't stop.
Help!
[Crash]
That's good idea, Fred--
You need a little steam
to unwind.
Relax. Have a snooze.
Oh, boy.
I'm really beat.
[Snoring]
I wonder where
the boys are.
They're
an hour late.
I'm so embarrassed.
How do you think
I feel
With a houseful of people
waiting in the dark?
[Snoring]
Oh. Ooh.
Oh, my gosh.
The party.
Wake up, Fred!
Wake up!
[Snoring]
Oh, boy.
Betty's going to flip.
Phew, Fred.
You're what I call
a heavy date.
Now to phone Betty,
Tell her there's
a slight delay.
I'll be right back.
Uhh...
uhh.
[Snoring]
Poor Fred.
Hee hee hee!
Ho ho!
He really is beat.
Fred!
Uhh...
close the window, Wilma.
It's cold tonight.
Hey, Fred!
Come back here!
Stop, Fred!
Fred, wake up!
Wake up!
"Slow...danger ahead."
Oh, my gosh.
Fred! Fred!
Hey! Slow down, buddy!
Stop! Stop!
Which way
did he go?
He went that way.
Thanks.
Fred! Fred!
Uh-Oh.
Fred's in the trunk,
headed for that car lot.
Yes, sir, folks,
here at Rocko Hotrod,
We don't sell cars.
No, sir,
we sell friendship.
If that sounds square,
well, we're proud of it
Because we're so square,
we're honest.
Take this beauty.
We paid top price,
but you can buy it for less,
Because all we want is your
money--Uh, friendship.
Is that car in good
condition, sonny?
Yes, ma'am.
Every car
at Rocko Hotrod
Is in good
condition,
Because every car
on this lot
Bears our personal
guarantee...
of satisfaction
and excellence.
We'll take it,
sonny.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, no! He's selling my car!
Remember, ladies,
you didn't just buy a car.
You made a friend.
Drive carefully.
We always do.
We're little old ladies
from Pasadenarock.
We'll be late for our
club meeting, Hester. Let's go.
Hold on to your
bonnet, Esther.
Hey, wait!
You've got my car
and my buddy!
Oh, boy, are we going to be
late to the surprise party!
Uh, pardon me, ladies,
but this is my car.
You must be
mistaken, sonny.
We just bought this car.
Right, Esther?
Right, Hester.
Yeah, well,
here's your money.
Can I have
my car back?
Sorry, but we like
this car.
It's got gumption.
Yes sirree, bob.
It's a gasser.
But you don't
understand.
Step on it, Hester.
Open her up.
Now I'm really in trouble.
Here we are
at the club, Hester.
Yep. Made it
in 20 seconds flat.
Oh, boy, I got to think
of something fast.
Maybe a disguise.
Maybe we ought to enter
the road races, Esther.
[Scottish accent]
begging your pardon, ladies.
Scotland Yard inspector
Mcrubble here.
Gracious sakes
alive.
What's wrong,
sonny?
Had this car long,
have you?
No, sir. We just
bought it. Why?
It's hot
as a pistol.
You better
believe it!
I mean
it's stolen goods.
No!
Yes! Ay!
Haven't you heard of
the Mcflintstone caper?
No. Tell us.
Mysterious disappearance
of the husband
And all that,
you know.
But what's that
got to do with us?
We think
mrs. McFlintstone
Hid her husband's
body in this car.
In this car?
Right-O.
Then she arranged
to have it stolen.
I think you're putting
us on, sonny.
[Mumbling]
Did--Did you hear
something, Esther?
Oh...
[snoring]
Nothing worse
than a corpse
What won't
hold still, ladies.
Aah!
Take the car,
inspector.
We don't want it.
Here's
your money back.
Well, so long.
Wait. Where are you
taking the body?
To his birthday party,
of course.
[Snoring]
Oh, boy. I'm beat.
Next time we plan
a surprise party
For Fred,
we better tell him.
Hee hee hee hee!
Hee hee hee!
Outsy-Daisy, Fred.
Wha-Wha-Wha-What's
the matter?
Where is this?
We're home, Fred.
But that's
your home.
Yeah. Both places
are dark.
The girls must have
gone out.
So let's watch that
old, old movie on tv.
You wait here
And I'll go around back
to open the door.
I don't want to watch
any old tv.
I'm going home to bed.
How much longer
do we have to wait?
[Wilma] it shouldn't be
much longer, mr. Slate.
Hey, quiet.
Somebody's coming
in the back door.
[Betty]
the back door.
[Wilma]
shh.
Surprise!
Surprise!
Uh, hello,
everybody.
Barney!
Where's Fred?
I left him
out front.
Oh, man, am I going to
sleep tonight!
[Yawns]
Where's Fred?
He's gone!
Gee, I left him
right here.
Wait a minute.
What happened
to my surprise party?
Let me see, now.
Barney's been
stalling me all day,
Trying to get me
in his house, so--
Hey! That's it!
Everybody must be over there
waiting for me!
[Knock knock knock]
Yes?
Mr. Flintstone,
I'm stan slag,
Your new neighbor
down the street.
Oh, yeah.
Saw you moving in.
How are you?
My wife and your wife
were planning
To play bridge
some night soon,
So I was thinking
why not make it tonight?
I'm afraid
Wilma isn't here now.
Leave her a note
to join you at our place.
We'll make
a party of it. Okay?
Tonight? At your place?
For a party?
Well, uh, yeah.
Slag, old boy,
You shouldn't have gone
to all the trouble.
What trouble?
Okay, okay.
I'll play along.
Hee hee hee!
Let's go.
Where do you think
Fred might have gone?
Home, I guess.
That's simple then.
Go get him and
bring him back here.
Right. Will do.
Let's put the lights
out again.
Lights out.
Hee hee hee!
Slag, I love
these surprises.
What do you mean?
You can drop that
double-Talk act.
I know what's going
on at your house.
You do?
I've been looking
forward to it all year.
Hmm...
they warned me
about small towns.
Hee hee hee!
Get a load
of this action.
Surprise, yourself!
Aah!
Stanley, what's that
silly man doing?
It's alright,
sweetheart.
This is our new neighbor--
Mr. Flintstone.
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Fred! Fred!
That's funny.
He's not here, either.
- Surprise!
- Surprise!
- Aw!
- Aw!
He, uh, vanished.
It's very fishy. Flintstone
is too fat to just vanish.
I don't like
the looks of it.
Maybe he's been
the victim of foul play.
Oh, my Fred!
We've got to find him!
Spread out, men. I'll search
the north end of town.
Rockhead,
you take the south.
Gotcha.
He's off
his rocker, honey.
Just don't move.
Aw, come on, slag.
I know you're hiding
The party crowd
here somewhere.
Yoo-Hoo!
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!
Aha!
Would they be in here?
Surprise!
Well...then, how's
about under here?
Oh, ho ho ho!
Slag, you rascal!
You got them
all here somewhere,
And I think
I found where.
No, Flintstone.
Don't open that door.
Will a big, bad beastie
come out and bite me?
Flintstone, stop.
Ready or not,
Here comes
the birthday boy!
[Grr]
Ha ha ha!
Good doggy.
Don't bite.
Down, boy.
[Grr]
Oh, boy.
Ow! Ow!
Let go, boy!
[Grr]
Down!
Aah!
Stanley, shouldn't we
call off the dog?
What for, sweetheart?
Let him have some fun.
Oh.
Well, Flintstone, you've been
bitten, beaten, chased,
And you made a fool
of yourself.
Happy birthday, knothead.
Hmm.
I wonder if that party
was at rubble's after all.
If it was,
I got a surprise for them.
The guest of honor's
not showing.
I'm going to bed.
[Sobbing]
Wilma! Now what's wrong?
Oh!
Fred's missing,
And I--I--
Fred!
Oh, Fred,
you're alright!
Where have you been?
Where have I been?
Where have you been?
Well, we all planned
a surprise party for you,
But we couldn't find you.
Oh, ho ho.
What's it matter,
sweetheart?
It's still my birthday,
and we're together.
That's all that counts.
[Dino whining]
What's with Dino?
[Whining]
[Fred] no, Dino.
You can't go out.
No, boy, no.
Then we'll come in!
Hi there,
Flintstone!
Surprise, Fred!
Surprise!
[Party chatter]
Well, the surprise party
worked alright.
Yeah, finally.
Ha ha ha ha!
Hee hee hee!
Happy birthday,
old buddy!
Hey, what do you think
of the cake?
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Happy birthday, Fred!
Let's sing,
everybody!
For he's
a jolly good fellow
For he's
a jolly good fellow
For he's
a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny
[Arrooo]
[Arrooo]
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Flintstones,

They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page

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

Oh yeah, today is
a very special day.
Thanks, Barney.
Today is groundhog's day.
Groundhog's day?
Is that all
it means to you?
Sure. What else?
Hmm.
Mmm. Oh.
How long you going to
study that shot?
Let's get moving.
Okay, Fred.
I got it figured.
Cootchie, cootchie,
cootchie, cootchie.
Ah...ah...ah...
ah...ah...
[ah-Choo]
Hey, did you get
that shot?
Yeah, I got it.
Right in the eye.
Now let's go home.
You're going the wrong way.
The car's back there.
We're got to go
to the clubhouse first.
Oh, ho! The clubhouse.
So that's where it is.
I mean, you don't want
to go home so early.
Okay, pal.
I am for the clubhouse.
Me, too, so I can unload
these kooks.
Really, barn.
Huh?
Don't you think I ought
to go in first?
Well, why not?
Will I surprise
them!
Yahoo!
I'm here...
everybody.
Well, goody,
goody.
We thought you'd
never make it.
Who's the creep?
Who knows?
Some kind of nut.
We got here
too early, huh?
Too early for what?
I just wanted
to show you something.
Well, don't tell Betty
I bought some new weights.
That's what you dragged
me in here for?
They're
pretty nifty, huh?
Come on.
Let's go.
Sure, but try
these first.
[Crash]
I told you we should have
joined the private club.
Wait till you see
the new health center--
Everything
to make you fit.
What do you mean,
health center?
I got a free
trial membership,
So we'll stop by and
I'll show you around.
Oh, ho! So that's where
they're having my party.
Tell me, barn,
Is something going on
at this health center?
Oh, sure. They got
a lot going on.
Would Wilma like for me
to go along with you, hmm?
Well, yes, Fred,
she would.
Ha ha ha!
That Wilma's
a sly one.
Okay, Barney-Boy.
I am with you.
Pretty fancy place,
huh, Fred?
Yeah. Classy.
Hee hee hee!
I've arranged
a surprise for you.
Oh, really?
Whatever could it be?
First, you got to
close your eyes.
Okay. They're closed.
Then we slip
these belts on.
Huh?
[Garbled] hey,
what's this for, Barney?
It's for
your balloon shape, Fred.
It'll make
a new man of you.
There was nothings wrong
with the old one.
Is this your idea
of a surprise, Barney?
Sure, Fred.
Speed it up, boys.
Help!
Hee hee hee hee!
That will keep Fred busy
for a while.
Hey, I wonder
how the girls are doing.
Here's another
balloon, Betty.
Thanks.
Wilma, you think anything
can go wrong tonight?
I don't think so,
Betty.
Having the party here
at your house
Should throw Fred
off the track.
[Wilma]
there. That's the last.
[Panting]
Oh, 35 balloons
in 1 hour.
My union is going to
hear about this.
Hee hee hee hee!
That will get
the blubber off, freddy-Boy.
Don't just
stand there.
Make this thing
stop.
I can't do it,
Fred.
What do you mean?
I can't
just stand here
And watch an old buddy
turn to blubber.
I also got to keep him
here another hour.
For the last time,
Barney, turn it off!
Okay, Fred.
I'll turn it off.
Hey, what's
the matter, Fred?
I can't stop.
Help!
[Crash]
That's good idea, Fred--
You need a little steam
to unwind.
Relax. Have a snooze.
Oh, boy.
I'm really beat.
[Snoring]
I wonder where
the boys are.
They're
an hour late.
I'm so embarrassed.
How do you think
I feel
With a houseful of people
waiting in the dark?
[Snoring]
Oh. Ooh.
Oh, my gosh.
The party.
Wake up, Fred!
Wake up!
[Snoring]
Oh, boy.
Betty's going to flip.
Phew, Fred.
You're what I call
a heavy date.
Now to phone Betty,
Tell her there's
a slight delay.
I'll be right back.
Uhh...
uhh.
[Snoring]
Poor Fred.
Hee hee hee!
Ho ho!
He really is beat.
Fred!
Uhh...
close the window, Wilma.
It's cold tonight.
Hey, Fred!
Come back here!
Stop, Fred!
Fred, wake up!
Wake up!
"Slow...danger ahead."
Oh, my gosh.
Fred! Fred!
Hey! Slow down, buddy!
Stop! Stop!
Which way
did he go?
He went that way.
Thanks.
Fred! Fred!
Uh-Oh.
Fred's in the trunk,
headed for that car lot.
Yes, sir, folks,
here at Rocko Hotrod,
We don't sell cars.
No, sir,
we sell friendship.
If that sounds square,
well, we're proud of it
Because we're so square,
we're honest.
Take this beauty.
We paid top price,
but you can buy it for less,
Because all we want is your
money--Uh, friendship.
Is that car in good
condition, sonny?
Yes, ma'am.
Every car
at Rocko Hotrod
Is in good
condition,
Because every car
on this lot
Bears our personal
guarantee...
of satisfaction
and excellence.
We'll take it,
sonny.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, no! He's selling my car!
Remember, ladies,
you didn't just buy a car.
You made a friend.
Drive carefully.
We always do.
We're little old ladies
from Pasadenarock.
We'll be late for our
club meeting, Hester. Let's go.
Hold on to your
bonnet, Esther.
Hey, wait!
You've got my car
and my buddy!
Oh, boy, are we going to be
late to the surprise party!
Uh, pardon me, ladies,
but this is my car.
You must be
mistaken, sonny.
We just bought this car.
Right, Esther?
Right, Hester.
Yeah, well,
here's your money.
Can I have
my car back?
Sorry, but we like
this car.
It's got gumption.
Yes sirree, bob.
It's a gasser.
But you don't
understand.
Step on it, Hester.
Open her up.
Now I'm really in trouble.
Here we are
at the club, Hester.
Yep. Made it
in 20 seconds flat.
Oh, boy, I got to think
of something fast.
Maybe a disguise.
Maybe we ought to enter
the road races, Esther.
[Scottish accent]
begging your pardon, ladies.
Scotland Yard inspector
Mcrubble here.
Gracious sakes
alive.
What's wrong,
sonny?
Had this car long,
have you?
No, sir. We just
bought it. Why?
It's hot
as a pistol.
You better
believe it!
I mean
it's stolen goods.
No!
Yes! Ay!
Haven't you heard of
the Mcflintstone caper?
No. Tell us.
Mysterious disappearance
of the husband
And all that,
you know.
But what's that
got to do with us?
We think
mrs. McFlintstone
Hid her husband's
body in this car.
In this car?
Right-O.
Then she arranged
to have it stolen.
I think you're putting
us on, sonny.
[Mumbling]
Did--Did you hear
something, Esther?
Oh...
[snoring]
Nothing worse
than a corpse
What won't
hold still, ladies.
Aah!
Take the car,
inspector.
We don't want it.
Here's
your money back.
Well, so long.
Wait. Where are you
taking the body?
To his birthday party,
of course.
[Snoring]
Oh, boy. I'm beat.
Next time we plan
a surprise party
For Fred,
we better tell him.
Hee hee hee hee!
Hee hee hee!
Outsy-Daisy, Fred.
Wha-Wha-Wha-What's
the matter?
Where is this?
We're home, Fred.
But that's
your home.
Yeah. Both places
are dark.
The girls must have
gone out.
So let's watch that
old, old movie on tv.
You wait here
And I'll go around back
to open the door.
I don't want to watch
any old tv.
I'm going home to bed.
How much longer
do we have to wait?
[Wilma] it shouldn't be
much longer, mr. Slate.
Hey, quiet.
Somebody's coming
in the back door.
[Betty]
the back door.
[Wilma]
shh.
Surprise!
Surprise!
Uh, hello,
everybody.
Barney!
Where's Fred?
I left him
out front.
Oh, man, am I going to
sleep tonight!
[Yawns]
Where's Fred?
He's gone!
Gee, I left him
right here.
Wait a minute.
What happened
to my surprise party?
Let me see, now.
Barney's been
stalling me all day,
Trying to get me
in his house, so--
Hey! That's it!
Everybody must be over there
waiting for me!
[Knock knock knock]
Yes?
Mr. Flintstone,
I'm stan slag,
Your new neighbor
down the street.
Oh, yeah.
Saw you moving in.
How are you?
My wife and your wife
were planning
To play bridge
some night soon,
So I was thinking
why not make it tonight?
I'm afraid
Wilma isn't here now.
Leave her a note
to join you at our place.
We'll make
a party of it. Okay?
Tonight? At your place?
For a party?
Well, uh, yeah.
Slag, old boy,
You shouldn't have gone
to all the trouble.
What trouble?
Okay, okay.
I'll play along.
Hee hee hee!
Let's go.
Where do you think
Fred might have gone?
Home, I guess.
That's simple then.
Go get him and
bring him back here.
Right. Will do.
Let's put the lights
out again.
Lights out.
Hee hee hee!
Slag, I love
these surprises.
What do you mean?
You can drop that
double-Talk act.
I know what's going
on at your house.
You do?
I've been looking
forward to it all year.
Hmm...
they warned me
about small towns.
Hee hee hee!
Get a load
of this action.
Surprise, yourself!
Aah!
Stanley, what's that
silly man doing?
It's alright,
sweetheart.
This is our new neighbor--
Mr. Flintstone.
[Knock knock knock]
Hey, Fred! Fred!
That's funny.
He's not here, either.
- Surprise!
- Surprise!
- Aw!
- Aw!
He, uh, vanished.
It's very fishy. Flintstone
is too fat to just vanish.
I don't like
the looks of it.
Maybe he's been
the victim of foul play.
Oh, my Fred!
We've got to find him!
Spread out, men. I'll search
the north end of town.
Rockhead,
you take the south.
Gotcha.
He's off
his rocker, honey.
Just don't move.
Aw, come on, slag.
I know you're hiding
The party crowd
here somewhere.
Yoo-Hoo!
Come out, come out,
wherever you are!
Aha!
Would they be in here?
Surprise!
Well...then, how's
about under here?
Oh, ho ho ho!
Slag, you rascal!
You got them
all here somewhere,
And I think
I found where.
No, Flintstone.
Don't open that door.
Will a big, bad beastie
come out and bite me?
Flintstone, stop.
Ready or not,
Here comes
the birthday boy!
[Grr]
Ha ha ha!
Good doggy.
Don't bite.
Down, boy.
[Grr]
Oh, boy.
Ow! Ow!
Let go, boy!
[Grr]
Down!
Aah!
Stanley, shouldn't we
call off the dog?
What for, sweetheart?
Let him have some fun.
Oh.
Well, Flintstone, you've been
bitten, beaten, chased,
And you made a fool
of yourself.
Happy birthday, knothead.
Hmm.
I wonder if that party
was at rubble's after all.
If it was,
I got a surprise for them.
The guest of honor's
not showing.
I'm going to bed.
[Sobbing]
Wilma! Now what's wrong?
Oh!
Fred's missing,
And I--I--
Fred!
Oh, Fred,
you're alright!
Where have you been?
Where have I been?
Where have you been?
Well, we all planned
a surprise party for you,
But we couldn't find you.
Oh, ho ho.
What's it matter,
sweetheart?
It's still my birthday,
and we're together.
That's all that counts.
[Dino whining]
What's with Dino?
[Whining]
[Fred] no, Dino.
You can't go out.
No, boy, no.
Then we'll come in!
Hi there,
Flintstone!
Surprise, Fred!
Surprise!
[Party chatter]
Well, the surprise party
worked alright.
Yeah, finally.
Ha ha ha ha!
Hee hee hee!
Happy birthday,
old buddy!
Hey, what do you think
of the cake?
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Happy birthday, Fred!
Let's sing,
everybody!
For he's
a jolly good fellow
For he's
a jolly good fellow
For he's
a jolly good fellow
Which nobody can deny
[Arrooo]
[Arrooo]
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
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!
