Oh, you are in good voice

[chuckling]

Boy, he's got hair
like rock wall.

Ratata tuu dee da dum

boink

W-w-what's that?

Only me singing, darling.

Thank goodness.
I thought it was the call

of the water buffalo.

Well, if everything goes right
this call of the water buffalo



as you call it, is our ticket
to fame and fortune.

- 'What do you mean?'
- Just wait. You'll find out.

Now, yabba-dabba-doo.

I have got
to skiddle-di-doo-doo.

swoosh

How can he do this to me
so early in the morning?

[theme music]

[siren blaring]

Eee-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

You'll have a gay old time

"Now building
Bedrock Bowl."

Yeah, it's really
gonna be a big one too.

(male #1)
'I heard
that clamshell stage'

'came all the way
from Pismo beach.'

(male #2)
'No kidding. Pismo beach?'

Easy, easy,
That's it. Up.

She goes.

Easy.

[yelping]

Whoa! Hold on there.

Whoa!

What is it, Lulu Belle?

That tooth
bothering you again?

Let's have a look.

Wow, you sure have..

Ooh, looks like a bad one.

What's the trouble, Flintstone?
Why aren't you working?

Lulu Belle's got
a bad tooth, boss.

Impossible.

Her group had
21 percent fewer cavities.

Well, she's got a bad tooth
alright. Take a look.

Can't be.
But it sure enough is.

I'll get
the company dentist over here.

Delays, delays.

This is Mr. Slate
calling Dr. Ben Cavity.

Come to excavation site B.

Bad molar on Lulu Belle.

swoosh

Oh, boy. I hate these rush jobs.

craw

'This is Mr. Slate
calling Dr. Ben cavity'

'on to excavation site B.'

Bad molar on Lulu Belle.

craw

- Here comes the dentist.
- It's about time.

Hurry, man.
This delay is costly.

Yes, sir.

Hmm.
Oh my, yes.

Bad. Very bad.
It's got to come out.

Not him, it's Lulu Belle. Put in
a filling Doc and hurry it up.

We got to get
this Bedrock Bowl finished.

- When's the dedication program?
- Saturday.

(Fred)
'What kind of program
they gonna put on?'

'For the opening show, I mean.'

I heard it was gonna be
a big TV special.

Right! Starring none other
than Ann Margrock herself.

No kidding.

(Fred)
'Ann Margrock?
I hear she's great!'

Hmm. That's a pretty
nice-looking filling

if I do say so myself.

And now, my signature.

Where does he think he is?
Granites Chinese?

Lalala tee lup tara tey
tu tudu tu me me meee

Well, if it isn't
loudmouth Harry.

Well, hello there,
Fred baby.

What're you supposed
to be doing?

I'm supposed to be
trying out the acoustics.

I plan to be singing here
Saturday night.

Are you really going to be
in the Ann Margrock show?

[pleasant music]

They're looking
for local talent, eh?

That's right.

I'm on my way
to stardom, baby.

This is really a break.
Especially for Ann Margrock.

To be able to discover
a talented guy like me.

Hey, what's going on over there?

screech

That's where
Ann Margrock's staying.

I'll get out here,
Fred baby.

Hello?

Hello, this is Bobby Rockley,
Ann Margrock's manager.

Can't we get
a little quiet here?

Oh, isn't this wonderful?

No. You gotta sneak away,
find some place

where nobody knows you.

Someplace where you can relax
and get ready for the show.

Well, this is alright.
I like it here.

'Nope, nope. Won't do.'

Come on, Ann. You can
slip out the back way.

Now remember, I want you
to take it easy.

Well, if you insist.
Bye.

vroom

And call me, when you
find a place.

Well, as far as
I'm concerned

if big mouth Harry Goldbrick
can audition, so can we.

- I don't know, Fred.
- I do.

We can use the garage
to work up the act.

[Pebbles crying]

Wilma! Your baby is crying!

Oh, it's my baby now.
Why is it?

It's your baby when she's quiet
and my baby when she cries.

Look, Wilma,
Barney and me have to--

Sorry, Fred. You'll
have to keep an eye on her.

I'm just swamped
with housework.

I thought you're gonna
get a high school girl

to come in and babysit.

I couldn't get anyone.

They're all too excited about
Ann Margrock being in town.

I'll tell you what

you beeswax the floor
and I'll baby sit.

Okay, I'll watch her.

That does it.
You can't work up an act

and babysit for Pebbles
at the same time.

Yeah, and we don't even
get to see Ann Margrock either.

[comical music]

Tu tu tudu
tu tu tu du

whack

Uh, just my luck.
A flat tire.

[Pebbles crying]

Look, Pebbles,
I'm a monkey.

eek eek eek

Oh, will you
knock it off, Barney?

You're scaring her.

[knock on door]

Oh, boy. What next?

Yes?

Pardon me,
could I use your phone?

Huh? Oh, sure, sure.
Come on in.

Thank you so much.
You see, my car broke down

in front
of your house and..

Ah, what an adorable baby.

Hello, precious.

[Pebble babbling]

[chuckling]

How 'bout that?
Pebbles likes you, miss.

[Fred giggling]

Yeah, she sure does.

Oh, well, the phone
is over here, miss.

[Pebbles crying]

Uh-oh,
here we go again.

I better pick her up.
Come on, little Pebbly-poo.

Hi, everything's fine, Rockley.
Just a little car trouble.

No. No, I haven't found
a place to stay yet.

You hear that, Fred? She's
looking for a place to stay.

Hey, maybe we got us
a babysitter.

Yes, I'll call you
as soon as I do. Bye.

- Thank you so much, Mister..
- Flintstone, miss.

Fred Flintstone. And this
is my partner Barney Rubble.

Hi.

I, uh, couldn't help
overhearing you on the phone.

You, uh, looking
for a place to stay?

Why, yes, I am.

In town for
the Ann Margrock show, huh?

Oh, yes,
you might say so.

Oh, why don't you stay here?

[Pebbles babbling]

He he he.

Pebbles likes you. All you've
to do is keep an eye on her.

Well, it's certainly
cozy and quiet here.

And she is awfully cute.

Then it's a deal.
Wilma!

What's the matter?
What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.
Everything's great.

This young lady's
looking for a place to stay

for a couple of days and she's
willing to look after the baby.

And Pebble's likes her.
Look.

[laughing]

Yes. I can see she does.

That's awfully nice
of you, miss..

My name's Annie.
You have a beautiful baby.

Thank you.

Come on, Barney boy.
Let's get out to the garage

and polish up our act.

Right.

[both laughing]

Oh, fellas,
for heaven's sake.

You have just one child,
Mrs. Flintstone?

Sometimes I wonder.

[both giggling]

[instrumental music]

Well, Barney boy,
what little ditty

will we dazzle
them with at the ball?

Here, I got it,
this'll wow 'em.

I hope this isn't
a long playing record.

I'm tired.

What're you
kickin' about?

My beak isn't exactly
a diamond point, you know.

[pleasant music]

Fred and Barney sing on key

Fred and Barney
singing do-re-mi

Lay your heart to beat

When they sing a song

Lay your heart to beat
they can do no wrong

In the song

[Pebbles crying]

There, there, now.
Don't cry, darling.

[lullaby music]

You are still awake and it's
half past your bedtime

That sandman had
a date he didn't keep

But when the lambs commence
to jump across the fence

I'll count them all
until you fall asleep

The first little lamb

Jumped over the fence

And was off
to the land of nod

The second and third

Were close behind

Like three little
peas in a pod

The fourth little lamb
was too chubby to jump

He crawled under instead

The fifth little lamb
wasn't there at all

He must have
stayed home in bed

Number six jumped around
as confused as could be

He didn't know
where he had been

He jumped over that's true
but before he was through

He jumped over
jumped back

Then jumped over again

The next little lamb
was the littlest lamb

Too little
for such a big leap

Though he tried like a scout

He soon tuckered out

And the littlest lamb
was asleep

The littlest lamb

Is asleep

[Fred laughing]
Look at this one, Barney.

Let's try a chorus.

While strolling
by the rock one day

Fellas, fellas!
Hey, could you hold it down?

The baby's asleep.

- We gotta work up an act.
- An act? You do an act?

Maybe you'd like to watch
some real professionals work.

Well, I'd love to.
I'll tell you what.

I'll put the baby in
the other room and be right out.

Okay, Barn, let's
take it from the top.

He he he.

That's, uh,
show biz talk.

Uh, this time we'll
do a little chorus

of "Gravel Me Back
To Old Virginny."

Gravel me back
to old Virginny

That's where the cotton
and the corn...

Mr. Flintstone.
Uh, Mr. Flintstone.

Say, um, why don't you
use those hats and canes?

It would dress up your act.

Oh, yeah. Well, uh,
I was gonna do that later.

Pretty nifty, huh?

Here you are, partner.
Catch.

Righto, old champ.

[chuckling]

Ta-daa.

It would be nice if you
put some movement into it too.

(Fred)
'Movement? Like what?'

May I borrow your hat
and cane, Mr. Rubble?

Sure. Be my guest.

Now, then, shall we
take it from the top?

[instrumental music]

slam

Hey, you're good,
Annie.

You're the greatest!

And you're both
absolutely wonderful.

[telephone ringing]

Rockley speaking.

Hello, Ann?

Ann, where have you been?

I tried to get a hold
of you yesterday.

We're having sponsor trouble.

I'll meet you down
at Bedrock Bowl right away.

Oh dear, I don't see
how I can.

I have the baby to look after
and-and nobody's up yet.

But, Ann. Ann!
this is important!

Baby?
What baby?

Oh, alright, alright.
I'll be there.

I just have to bring her
with me, that's all.

But Mr. Sponsor,
Ann Margrock's a star.

She can do any kind of music!

I don't believe it.
These young singers.

All they can sing is this
oh-hop-a-dop stuff.

But I tell you, Ann Margrock
can do any kind of music.

Now, you be a good girl
and I'll be right back.

[Pebbles crying]

Alright, alright, honey.
I think I'm spoiling you.

[Pebbles sobbing]

(Annie)
'Now, close your eyes.'

This little lamb
is the littlest lamb

Too little
for such a big leap

Though you try like a scout

You soon tucker out

Now my littlest lamb
is asleep

My littlest lamb
is asleep

- Who's that girl?
- That's your star.

That was beautiful.
Just lovely.

I'm proud to have you
on the show.

Proud!

My mother used to sing
that song to me.

What a beautiful child.
Who is she?

She belongs to the Flintstones.
The people I'm staying with.

You make
a wonderful team.

- Well, thank you, sir.
- It's a fact. Good day.

Flintstone, huh? Well, we owe
that baby a vote of thanks.

She helped
save the day.

Uh, how do you think
our audition went, Fred?

Are you kidding?
We murdered 'em.

slam

How come they stopped us
after the first chorus?

Well, they're
sure enough to know

that we've got
what it takes.

Uh, then how come that fellow
was holding his nose?

He was pointing
at his nose, Barney.

That's a television signal.
It means they're on time.

Hey, hold it. Here comes
a couple of the big shots.

Beautiful. In all my years, I've
never heard anything like it.

Ann Margrock and, uh,
what was that name again?

Uh, Flintstone.

Yes, Flintstone.

Margrock and Flintstone.
What a sensational combination.

You hear that?
He said we're sensational.

We're in, Barney! They want us
to work with Ann Margrock.

How come they didn't
mention my name?

What's the difference?
They know we're a team.

Flintstone and Rubble.

You mean,
Rubble and Flintstone.

[chuckling]

It's true.
Barney and I are gonna be

on the Ann Margrock Show.

Then it's
right to the top.

We're gonna be big stars.

snap snap

What's that for?

To wake you both up.
You were dreaming.

Yeah.
Ha ha ha.

Well, just watch
the TV show tonight.

And call up everyone we know!

Get everybody tuned in.

Time for one more rehearsal.

Right, partner.

Yabba-dabba-dabba
yabba-dabba-dabba

Yabba-dabba-dabba

Is it possible?

Fred and Barney
singing on television?

You know something, Barney,
we're being selfish.

- Selfish?
- I mean about Annie.

After all,
she did help us.

Fred, I'm proud of you.
Here she comes now.

- Oh, Annie.
- Yes, sir?

Papa, papa, papa.

I got big news.
Now, brace yourself.

You ready?

Well, you are
gonna be on the stage

at the Bedrock Bowl tonight.

Uh-huh.

I guess, she's in
a deep state of shock.

Now, don't think.
I mean it.

Uh, Barney and I are gonna
be on the Ann Margrock Show.

And you've been
so darn sweet and helpful

we want you
to appear with us.

You mean, you'll
take me on as a partner?

That's right. We think
you've got lots of talent.

We want you to have
every chance for a big career.

See you backstage at eight.

I'll be there, Mr. Flintstone.
And-and thanks.

[Pebbles giggling]

Now, not one word
out of you, young lady.

[Pebbles giggling]

Figaro Figaro Figaro

How's that, Fred?

Marvelous, you sound
just like Jeanette Rockdonald.

[Fred laughing]

Uh, Mr. Rockley,
ha ha ha.

I wonder when they'll announce
the winner of the auditions.

Oh, didn't you hear?
That's out.

The sponsor wants Ann Margrock
to do a one woman show.

Sorry.

Barn, what do you think
of Roary Flintstone

for a stage name?

Or maybe Kirk
would be better.

I like fatso.

Hey, what're you two
clowns doing here?

Getting ready to go on.

Yeah, that's a hard one.

- As what?
- Let's give him a sample, Barn.

[humming]

What's that sound like?

Ha ha ha.

Tonsillitis,
what else?

Come on, who are you kidding?

But it's true.

Would you like to make
a small wager on it?

Oh, we might. Then, how much do
you feel you can afford to lose?

Ah, shall we say,
uh, ten bucks?

- Make it 15.
- How about 20?

- Why not 30?
- Done.

- Oh, uh, Mr. Rockley?
- 'Yeah?'

Would you kindly tell my friend
here, who won the audition?

I told you nobody.

Ann Margrock's
doing the show alone.

Alone?

Ha ha ha.

Well, I'll see
you fellows on payday.

Ha ha ha.

- Kinda tough, uh, Fred?
- Yeah.

(Annie)
'Hi, fellas?
All set?'

Uh, Annie, there's
something I have to tell you.

What is it?

I really feel awful
about it, but you see..

...well, we can't give you
your big chance.

Because we're not going
to be on the show.

- You're not?
- Nope.

But you told Wilma. All
your friends will be watching.

I know, but that's
not what bothers us.

Uh, what we're really
sorry about is raising

your hopes
like we've done.

Yeah, we're not good enough
for the big time

but you, you're young
and really talented.

We would've loved to have been
able to give you your chance.

You mean that's what
really bothers you?

That I'll
be disappointed?

Uh, I guess
we're a couple of phonies.

You really deserve better.

[upbeat music]

And now the star of our show,
Ann Margrock!

[crowd applause]

Now don't you go away, you two.
You wait right there.

Hey, where're you going?

Annie, wait.
Get out of there.

Hurry!
They'll call the cops.

They think Annie is..

(together)
...Ann Margrock!

[rock music]

I ain't going to be
your fool no more

Cried and cried
till my eyes were sore

I gave you
all the love I had

Still you tried
to treat me bad

I love you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

I'm sick and tired of all
your cheating' and lying'

I'm gonna find myself a boy
to keep my heart from cryin'

Then you will be so blue

A weepin' and a moanin'
and a cryin' too

I love you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

Last night
I thought about you

About things
that we used to do

About things
that we used to say

But that was yesterday

I'm a gonna change my ways

Now it's my turn to play

Gonna find me somebody new

A-take-a-place-a-you now

I ain't going to be
your fool no more

Cried and cried till
my eyes were sore

I gave you all
the love I had

Still you tried
to treat me bad

I loves you but I ain't
going to be your fool

[music continues]

You're gonna find out
just what you've done wrong

You're gonna wake up in
the morning baby I'll be gone

Each and every day
of the week

I can't eat my dinner
and I can't sleep

I loves you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

I loves you but I ain't
going to be your fool

I loves you but I ain't
going to be your fool

[crowd cheering]

And now, to a very special
little listener..

...I'd like to say, goodnight.

- Goodnight, Pebbles.
- Good-ba.

Come on, fellas,
I need some help.

(Annie)
'Let's take it from the top.'

[upbeat music]

You're going to find out
just what you've done wrong

You're going to wake up in
the morning baby I'll be gone

Each and every day
of the week

I can't eat my dinner
and I can't sleep

I loves you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

I loves you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

I loves you but I ain't
gonna be your fool

[theme music]

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

And that cat will
stay out for the night

When you're
with the Flintstones

Have a yabba-dabba-doo time

A dabba-doo time

You'll have a gay old time

We'll have a gay
old time
