The Flintstones (1960–1966): Season 4, Episode 3 - Little Bamm-Bamm - full transcript

That's the last one.
Thanks, Henry.

[Fred laughing]

Uh-oh! When Fred laughs like
that it usually means trouble.

[laughing]

Fred.

Fred, what's
so funny?

Dino. Ha ha ha!

He, he's trying to get
out to burry his bone.

[Fred laughing]

crash

[laughing]



Well, don't just stand there.
Help him out.

Okay, okay!
He he he!

Oh, that Dino. Always
has to burry a bone.

[theme music]

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

Come on, honey.
Eat the nice cactus mush.

Open your mouth.
It's good for you, Pebbles.

Full of nice calcium
and vitamins.

Mm! See how
mummy likes it?

Yum, yum-yum, mmm!

Hmm! Cactus mush
is so good!

Oh, Pebbles!

Fred, would you feed
Pebbles her mush?

She always cleans
her bowl up for you.

Well, I don't stand
for any nonsense. I'm fun!

While you're feeding Pebbles,
I'll clean off the table.

'Alright.'

Come on, little Pebbly-poo,
eat your mush.

Come on, Pebbles,
it's, it's, mmm!

Say! That is good!

They're making this kiddy
food better all the time.

Hmm! Hmmm!

What is that elusive flavor?

'Sassafras fruit?'

'No, no, that's not it.'

'Hmm! Hmm!'

'Then it must be
something new!'

Delicious!

How's Pebbles doing
with her mush, Fred?

It's empty!

Ah, you certainly have
a way with her, Fred.

[babbling]

Gosh, Fred, isn't
that frustrating?

She's trying
to tell me something

and I can't understand her.

Ahh, I'll be glad
when she can talk.

T-t-talk?

Oh boy! He he he!
That'll be the day!

That'd be fine.
See you later.

That was Betty. She and
Barney are coming over.

Well, that's hardly
a news flash.

They're over here
every night.

Why can't they stay
home where they belong.

Oh, Fred, they love Pebbles
and want to see her.

I know but that Barney
is sickening about it.

He makes a complete fool of
himself with his nutty actions.

Look, Pebbles, I'm a bird.
Caw caw caw!

I'm a horsey.

Look, Pebbles, I'm
an upside down cake.

[crying]

Oh, Fred, you've
made Pebbles cry.

It just shows she's getting wise
to that hokey stuff of Barney.

There, there, baby,
don't cry.

When Barney goes
into his act tonight

and Pebbles cries,
I'll grab him..

...and give him that deep six
right out the front door.

bang

- Hiya, folks.
- Hi, Wilma.

Hiya, Pebbles.

Here's your
Uncle Barney.

Eh, where's Fred?

Behind the door,
I think, Barney.

(Barney)
'Well, hiya, Fred.'

What're you doing there?

Playing hide and seek.
What else?

Well, if you say so.

But you look a
little silly, Fred.

Come to Aunt Betty,
Pebbles.

Hey, hey look,
Pebbles.

I'm a bird!
Sqwak sqwak sqwak.

Hey, hey look, Pebbles.
I'm a horsey.

[neighing]

Hey look, Pebbles.
I'm an upside down cake.

[laughing]

Pebbles gets a real
charge out of Barney.

You know, when Fred does that,
Pebbles cries.

[laughing]

Now watch, Pebbles.

(Fred)
'Barney.'

Just a minute, Fred.

I've gotta do more
stunts for Pebbles.

First there's a little stunt
you're gonna do for me.

- What's that, Fred?
- Get outta here.

- Fred!
- Out, out, out!

Eh! What're you
trying to say, Fred?

And stay out!

slam

I'll have you know,
I'm Pebbles' godfather.

I'm seeing my lawyer
about that in the morning.

But, Fred,
you don't understand.

Mrs. Rubble, may I
have my baby?

Ah, oh, of course, Fred.

(Fred)
'Thank you.'

Now, get out
of my house!

Come on, Betty.

I can tell when
we're not welcome.

Get your own baby
and leave mine alone.

(Wilma)
'Fredrick Flintstone.'

That was the most
disgraceful performance

I've ever seen
in my life.

- Give me that baby.
- 'But Wilma, I--'

'Thank Goodness she's
too young to understand.'

I wouldn't want
her to know

her father made our
best friends feel bad

just because we've been blessed
with a child and they have not.

Well, I just, I only..
Oh, Wilma, you're right.

I'm-I'm a,
I'm a heel.

No, no you're not
really, Fred.

You're jealous,
thoughtless

loud mouth, overbearing

quick tempered, possessive
but not a heel.

You're right, Wilma.

I'll go right over and
apologize to Betty and Barney.

I-I am sorry.

(Wilma)
'Oh Fred!'

Yeah?

I love you, Fred.

Oh boy, am I ever a lucky guy
to have Wilma and Pebbles.

A guy that's jealous,
thoughtless, and all the rest

doesn't deserve such luck.

[sobbing]

Uh, there, there, Betty.
Fred didn't mean it.

I know.

We've been over there every
night since Pebbles came.

He should've told
us off long ago.

Yeah, that's right.
We're so anxious to have a baby

we take it out on
Fred and Wilma.

Hi, Betty. Barney.
Me and my big mouth.

Will you forgive me?

I'm a heel.

It was our fault
too, Fred.

You're no heel, Fred.

I'll say not.

You're jealous, thoughtless,
loud mouth, overbearing

and possessive--

Hey, you forgot
quick tempered.

- Well, yeah, that too.
- But you're no heel, Fred.

Gee thanks!

I'll see you
in the morning.

(together)
Goodnight, Fred.

Look, Barney,
a falling star!

Yeah.

- 'Make a wish quick, Barney.'
- 'A wish?'

They say if you wish
on a falling star

your wish
will come true.

No kiddin'!

Hey, uh, what did you wish
for, Betty? Huh, what?

I can't tell you.
I-It'll spoil the wish.

And don't tell me your
wish either, Barney.

I won't.

But I bet you've all guessed
what we both wished for.

[chuckling]

cock-a-doodle-doo

I'll be glad when
real roosters develop.

I'll sleep in every mornin'.

(Betty)
'Would you get the
morning paper, Barney?'

(Barney)
'Okay, Betty.'

Well, well, wonders
never cease.

The news boy finally put
the paper on the porch.

Hmm! The Bedrock Dodgers
blew another one last night.

[baby crying]

Oh, no. Not another
basket full of kittens.

[baby laughs]

T-t-that's no kitten!

The-the bay, a
bay, a baby!

Kaa-kaa-kaa.
coo-coo-coo.

Whoo, gee!

If I'd have known that's all
there was to getting a baby

I'd have wished
on a falling star long ago.

[chuckling]

'Hey, Betty, look!'

I can't right now.

How do you want
your egg this morning?

Congratulations, Betty.
You are a mother.

That's not funny, Barney.

'Whoa-whoa, look!'

Huh?

crash

[laughs]

Now I know how it
feels to be hatched.

sqwak sqwak

Barney, will you please stop
with the falling star stuff?

But we both
wished, Betty.

That's what came with a
double whammy, the zoom, zoom!

Oh, Barney, that's not our baby,
he belongs to someone.

Here's a note
in the basket.

Please take good
care of Bamm Bamm.

Bamm Bamm?
That's an odd name.

He is an orphan
and needs a good home

and the peaceful
surroundings of Bedrock!

Whee! Oh, Barney, we've
got our very own baby.

Hey, look, Betty.

This must belong
to Bamm Bamm.

No, it couldn't. He'd never
be able to lift it.

[babbling]

(Barney)
'This must be what he wants.'

- He's all boy, that fella.
- Isn't he darling?

bang bang bang

Bamm bamm bamm.

(Betty)
'Stop him, Barney.'

Bamm bamm bamm.
Bamm bamm bamm.

(Barney)
'No-no, no Bamm Bamm,
don't do that.'

Barney, don't speak mean to him.
Reason with him.

Okay.

Now, Bamm Bamm, you mustn't
hit anything which you're--

[crack]
Ouch!

Hey, let go
of my finger!

Bamm bamm bamm.

Barney, are you alright?

Yeah, he he he!

Well, now I know how he
got the name of Bamm Bamm.

He's all muscle!
He he he!

Hey, Barney, you're going
to work today or not?

Oh, uh, sorry I'm late, Fred.
I was playing with the baby.

Well, that's no excuse!

Hey, hold it.
What baby?

Our baby.
Betty's and mine.

Our son arrived
this morning.

Well, congratulations!

But you could've
let a guy in on it.

Oh, thanks, Fred.
Hey, uh, let's get going.

'Hey, hey, Barn!
Come back here.'

We're taking the day off.

We've gotta celebrate
your son's arrival.

Wait 'til
I get Wilma.

Wilma, Wilma.
Yabba dabba doo!

Wi-i-l-m-a-a.

Oh, Freddie makes a big deal
out of every little thing.

[laughs]
Hey, I'm a father!

thud

Betty Rubble, you little sphinx.
How closed mouth can you get?

But, Wilma, the baby was
only found on the doorstep

about 20 minutes ago.

Didn't Barney tell Fred?

No.
Found? Doorstep?

Aha! Here's the note
that came with him.

"He's an orphan,
good home.."

Aah..
"Bamm Bamm?"

Mm-hmm, he's named that
for a good reason too.

[chuckling]

I suppose the girls will all
get together for a baby shower.

Oh, no!
That's out!

No showers.

He's a bath tub kid
for a couple of years.

Right, Bamm Bamm?

Bamm Bamm?

Yeah, that's his name, Fred.
And it fits him.

Fits him, that's ridiculous.

Oh, I'll show you.
Let him hold your finger.

Okay, here!

[crack]

(Fred)
'Hey, hey, ooh!'

Bamm bamm bamm.

Whoa, that Bamm Bamm's real
strong for a baby, huh, Fred?

Bamm Bamm's real strong,
period. Ha ha he!

Since you wanna
keep Bamm Bamm

you should adopt
him legally, Betty.

Oh, we are.

We're going down to the
Child Welfare Authority

this afternoon.

Good.

Oh, Barney, put Bamm Bamm
on the floor next to Pebbles.

Oh, do you think we should?

Well, uh, okay, but suppose
Bamm Bamm doesn't like Pebbles.

If they're gonna be neighbors
we've got to find out.

(Barney)
'Mm, yeah. Well, uh,
Ms. Pebbles Flintstone'

'I'd like to present
Mr. Bamm Bamm Rubbles.'

[mumbling]

slurp

creek

[laughing]

[laughing]

- Hey, they like each other.
- How about that?

(Wilma)
'Pebbles has a
crush on Bamm Bamm.'

(Betty)
'I'll say. She's following
him out into the yard.'

- Oh, isn't that cute?
- I'll say, ha ha.

Look, Betty, Bamm Bamm's trying
to teach Pebbles to walk.

Phew, that was close.

They're going into
the next yard.

Say, isn't that where
that mean cat lives?

- That's right!
- Oh boy!

chomp chomp chomp

[Bamm Bamm
and Pebbles babbling]

[snarling]

[Bamm Bamm shouting]

boink

[cat whimpering]

Wow! Did you
see that?

Bamm Bamm saved Pebbles.

That's my boy,
who did that.

Drive slower,
Barney.

I don't want Bamm Bamm shook up.

But Wilma and Fred
will be waiting.

Let them wait now,
please slow down.

Well, okay.

But if I go any slower,
I'll be backing up.

"Child Welfare Authority."

Well, this is it!

It's sure taking Betty and
Barney a long time to get here.

Well, Betty wouldn't let
Barney drive on the freeway.

So, he's probably sneaking
down every goat path

so little Bamm Bamm
won't get hurt.

Oh, here they
come now!

Yup, slow
but sure!

Hiya, Wilma, Fred.

It's about time
you got here.

Yeah, I know, but you can't make
much time on those goat paths.

He he he! You see,
I wasn't kidding.

Well, let's go
adopt your baby.

Betty and Barney have been in
with the counselor over an hour.

Yeah, how long does it take
to adopt a baby anyhow?

We want to do everything
according to law, ma'am.

Well, the law is that the baby
is a ward of the city of Bedrock

until your application for
adoption has been processed.

Your character qualifications
will be thoroughly checked.

Uh, does that mean we'll have
Bamm Bamm back soon?

Well, I'd say the
probabilities are excellent.

Alright, orderly.
You can take the baby now.

You should be hearing
from us in about a week.

Goodbye,
Bamm Bamm.

Yeah, we'll spring
you soon, son.

He he! Real
cute baby, eh?

You see one,
you've seem 'em all.

Oh, yeah? Well, this baby
is different.

- You'd have to show me.
- Oh, he'll show you.

Let him squeeze your finger,
he's a lot different.

Okay, kid,
squeeze my finger.

- Come on, Barney.
- Yeah, just a minute, Betty.

(orderly)
'Ooh, ow!'

'Bamm bamm bamm.'

I bet that wise guy thinks
Bamm Bamm's different now.

[chuckling]

Don't feel too bad about
leaving Bamm Bamm, Betty.

Yeah, you'll have him back
before you know it.

Hi, Wilma! I'm home!

Any news about
Bamm Bamm yet?

No, and it's been a week.

I guess they're
still investigating

Barney's character.

Oh brother!
What a job!

I keep opening things
I don't like the taste of.

Phooey.

I sure hope Barney passes
his character test.

He's a cinch for that.

Ha ha ha,
look out the window.

Huh?
Window?

Ahh, he he he!
I see what you mean.

'He's helping an old
lady across the street.'

(Wilma)
'He's been doing it all day.'

Same old lady. He's
paying her 10 bucks a day.

[laughing]

Barney's taking
no chances.

He sure wants
Bamm Bamm back.

[both laughing]

What?

Our application is denied.

But, but..

Oh dear!

Barney.

'Barney.'

Here I am, Betty.

I just had a call from
the Child Authority.

Well, when do
we get Bamm Bamm?

We don't.

They're giving Bamm Bamm
to someone else.

[sobbing]

Some, someone else?

Oh, dear, I just knew this job
wasn't going to be steady.

Don't feel so bad, Betty.

There will be other
falling stars.

I don't want falling stars.
I want Bamm Bamm.

Yeah. Come on, Betty. We'll
go down to the Child Authority

and see about this.

They won't get
away with this.

We demand our baby
Bamm Bamm back.

You said
we'd get him.

I'm sorry,
Mr. and Mrs. Rubble.

There was a prior application
for the first boy we took in.

Prior application?

Yes.

You may rest assured, Bamm Bamm
will be well taken care of.

The man who was adopting
Bamm Bamm is very well to do.

He's one of the
Stony Feller family's.

- Stony Feller?
- How about that?

Our son will be
a millionaire one day.

Oh, he sure made
a success fast.

Bamm Bamm Stony Feller.
Well, a millionaire's son.

(Betty)
'Oh, come on home.'

Oh, yeah, that's right.
He won't be ours.

I think you should get
a lawyer and fight this.

How can we fight
the rich Stony Fellers?

They're the same as anybody else
in the eyes of the court.

And the Child Authority plays
no favorites because of wealth.

Wilma, you're right!

Barney and I are
getting a lawyer.

(Barney)
'That's why we want'

'an attorney at law,
Mr. Bronto Berger.'

Well, from what you tell
me, we have a good chance

to recover the child on
the grounds of nulli forfendi.

Nulli forfendi?

What's nulli forfendi mean,
Mr. Berger?

It's simple. Finders keepers,
losers weepers.

Well, here we are!

"Bedrock Municipal Court."

Oh, I'm so
nervous, Wilma.

Me too, Betty.

Oh, look, isn't that
Mr. Stony Feller's car?

screech

So, that's the fabulous
Mr. Stony Feller.

He looks
like a nice man.

Yes, sir, Mr. Stony Feller.

Thank you, George.

I won't need you
for a couple of hours.

I guess those people
have their problems too.

Yeah, but one of
them isn't money.

The Municipal Court of Bedrock
is now in session.

Hmm, "Case of child custody.
Rubble vs. Stony Feller."

Are the plaintiffs ready?

Mr. and Mrs. Ruble are ready
Your Honor, Judge Stony Feller.

Judge Stony Feller?

Yeah, it's a big family.

Bu-bu-bu-but he's the judge.

You won't find any
of them shoveling coal.

Now, look, there's
nothing to worry about.

The judge is mad
at his brother.

Order in the court.

Are the defendants ready?

Yeah, I'm ready
but my wife was ill

and had to visit the doctor and
my lawyer hasn't showed up yet.

You were always disorganized
as a kid and you still are.

Did you hear that?
The judge's on our side.

Oh, we're sure
to win now.

(Bronto)
'Oh, no!'

Hey, what's
the matter?

We've lost the case.

Why? What're you
talking about?

Look who his lawyer is.

(Bronto)
'Terry Masonary.'

'He never looses a case.'

Oh, don't take it to your
heart, Mr. Bronto Berger.

There's always a first time
and maybe this is it.

You are rather well
fixed financially

are you not,
Mr. Stony Feller?

Mm, yes! I'm, uh, some
people put it, I'm loaded.

So, uh, you, would be able
to provide a good home

and support a son,
exhibit A.

Oh, yes, my son, exhibit
A, as you call him

will have the
best of everything.

Uh, I, I object.

His name is Bamm Bamm,
not Exhibit A.

Order in the court.

We have not established
the name of exhibit A.

'Order in the court.'

Bamm bamm bamm.

thud

Henceforth, exhibit A
will be known as Bamm Bamm.

I quite agree,
Your Honor.

I'd like next to
call Mr. Rubble.

Mr. Rubble,
take the stand.

Now, you found Bamm Bamm
on your doorstep

did you not,
Mr. Rubble?

Oh, yeah, I found him in a
tasket, tisket, I mean a basket.

Where were you on the night
of July 10th of last year?

July the 10th?
Gee, let's see.

July the 10th, I was, uh, no.
Gosh, I, uh, my memory fails me.

Your memory
fails you, hm?

Suppose your
memory failed you

just when it's time
for the baby to be fed.

That little baby could go
hungry for days, Mr. Rubble.

Gosh.

Masonary is trying to make
him look like a monkey.

And doing
a good job, look.

[laughing]

I rest my case,
Your Honor.

Thank you so much,
Mr. Masonary.

You're welcome,
Mr. Stony Feller.

Mr. Stony Feller, your
wife is on the phone.

She's calling from
the doctor's office.

Thank you.

Would you hold Bamm Bamm
for me, Mr. Masonary?

I'll go tell Mrs. Stony Feller,
the good news.

My pleasure, sir.

Uh, Mr. Masonary?

Uh, could I hold him
just once more please?

Certainly, Mr. Rubble.
Here you are.

I understand how
you must feel.

So long, Bamm Bamm.

Be a good boy,
for your new da-dad.

Maybe I could,
I could visit you sometime.

screech

Mr. Masonary!
Mr. Masonary!

Mrs. Stony Feller just
told me the doctor said

we're going to
have our own baby.

So, the only fair
thing to do is

to let that nice
Mr. Rubble have Bamm Bamm.

Goodbye.

Is it true, Mr. Masonary?

Can the Rubbles
have Bamm Bamm?

Legally theirs?

One at a time, please.

First, here he is.

He's all yours, Mrs. Rubble,
legally and permanently.

Oh, how wonderful!

Yabba dabba doo!

Oh, Barney,
isn't it terrific?

Barney? Where's Barney?

There he is, outside.
He didn't get the good news.

Life just isn't worth living.

Not without
my little Bamm Bamm.

[sobbing]

We gotta stop him.
He'll do something nutty.

Oh, poor Barney,
he's heart broken.

Goodbye, cruel, wild--

Barney, wait.
Give me that rope.

It turns out Mr. Stony Feller's
wife is expecting her own baby.

'So Bamm Bamm is yours.'

No kiddin'.

Well, uh, I guess I won't be
needing this rock anymore.

Yaow!

splash

Thanks for saving
my life, Fred.

'I almost made a big mistake.'

Yeah, and saving your
life was my big mistake.

Say hello to Uncle Fred,
Bamm Bamm.

He may look all wet,
but he's really a nice guy.

[theme music]
