The Flintstones (1960–1966): Season 5, Episode 1 - Hop Happy - full transcript

The Rubbles' new kangaroo-like pet is annoying to Fred until the animal proves its worth at a picnic.

That does it.
He's gone too far this time.

What's the matter,
Fred?

That guy next door
is the matter.

He's broken the straw
that holds up the camel's back.

You mean Barney?

Right.
And that monster of his.

He had that hopperoo
attack me.

Now start packing.
We're moving out of here this minute.

Okay, Fred.

But poor Betty will have
to throw away

All that good food.



What good food?

For the picnic she was
taking us on today.

Oh, yeah.

The picnic.

All those juicy
brontoburgers,

Those pizza pies,

Peanut butter
sandwiches,

Deviled dodo eggs,

All wasted.

Huh?

But if you say move,
we move.

I'll start packing
right away.

Wait a minute, Wilma.

Yes, Fred?



Uh, I've been
thinking it over.

Yes?

It would be a shame
to waste that good food.

It would?

So we'll go on the picnic
with them, then we'll move away.

Good idea, Fred.

What time will we be leaving?
I'm starved.

In his present mood,
I don't dare ask him

Why he's wearing
boxing gloves.

[Toot]

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

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Giggling]

Whee!

Whee!

Bamm-Bamm!
Bamm-Bamm!

Ha ha ha ha.

Whee! Whee!

Ha ha ha ha.

Hey, Betty,
I think I'll get our son

A job in the circus.

Don't think bamm-Bamm
to get an education first?

Oh, yeah, of course.

He should at least
finish kindergarten.

Ha ha ha ha.

Oh, dear.

Barney, the garbage disposal
isn't working.

Let me show you
how to fix it.

All you gotta do is press
this red button like this.

[Growling]

Oh, Barney.

You can fix anything.

And I'll take
the usual payment.

Thank you.

Yabba-Dabba-Dabba

Dabba-Dabba-Dabba

Yabba-Dabba-Dabba-
Dabba-Doo

Hey, what are you fixing
to eat, Wilma?

Baked cactus apples,
Fred.

I'm trying out
a new apple corer.

It works beautifully.

What will they
think of next?

Next? It's what they
thought of this time

That bugs me.

Fred.

Yes, dear.

It's time for
Pebbles' nap.

Bring Dino in, too.
He must be tired.

Alright, dear.
Heh heh heh.

Oh, that bamm-Bamm sure
gives dino a workout.

Hi, kids.

Da-Da!

Time for your nap,
sweetheart.

Want daddy to sing
you a lullaby?

Rock-A-Bye, baby

[Off-Key]
in the treetop

Waaah!

Okay, okay

No lullaby.

[Laughing]

That's a shame. A nice
little girl like you

And no ear for music.

Bamm-Bamm,
time for your nap, too.

[Arr arr arr arr]

Heh heh heh.

Isn't that cute?

Alright, dino,
come on in the house.

Bamm-Bamm
has to go home now.

[Grrrr]

Boy, these pets.

Nowadays, they try
to take over.

I said get in the
House, Dino.

[Grrrr]

Okay, tiger.

There. There's the hand
that feeds you.

I dare you to bite it.

Go on! I dare you.
I dare you!

Bite it.

Yow!

Ha ha ha ha.

That obedience school stuff
sure paid off, Fred.

He did what you
told him to do.

Alright, dino.
Good boy.

Now let go of your
master's hand now.

Oh, boy.

Kiss and make up, dino.

Hey, cut that out!

Down, boy!
Heel! Heel!

He sure likes you, Fred.

Okay, let's go,
bamm-Bamm.

Bamm-Bamm!

Ha ha ha ha!

Dino, cut it out!

Would ya heel,
boy!

Heel! Heel!

La la la la la

La la la la la♪

Hiya, Betty.
The strongest son in the world

Brought me in
for his nap.

Bamm-Bamm,
put daddy down this minute.

No, no, wait!

[Baby talk]

Does it hurt?

Yeah. Only when
I sit down.

You know something, Betty?

Bamm-Bamm sure loves dino.

Maybe he should have
a pet of his own.

[Baby talk]

How about it, bamm-Bamm?
Would you like a pet?

Bamm-Bamm-
Bamm-Bamm- Bamm!

Besides, with a pet,
he'll play outside.

I get the message, Barney.

Let's get him a pet.

"Bedrock pet shopp-E."

Hey, sounds like
the right place.

Let's go inside,
bamm-Bamm.

Yes?

Do you sell pets here?

Are you kidding?

I don't know exactly
what I want.

I can believe that.

Why don't you
look around

And surprise
yourself, hmm?

Yeah, thanks. I will.

You meet all kinds
in my business.

"For sale, bant--

Bantadactyl."

Oh, boy, is he homely.

Here, pussy,
pussy, pussy.

Hey! Hey, come on!
Open up!

Let me out of here!

Now cut that out.

Hee hee hee hee.

Who needs a smart-Alecky
banta-Whos-Is?

Get off!

You're standing
on my head.

[Arrk]

Arrk yourself.

I don't know, mister.

You just got
the run-Of-The-Mill pets--

Pterodactyls, pterosaurs,
and banta-Whos-Is.

I want something different.

Say, I've got one
that's different.

It just arrived.

Let's have a look at it.

Sure. [Whistles]

[Honk honk honk honk]

How about that?

Well, what is it?

It's a hopperoo
it comes from down under.

Down under what?

I don't know.
That's what I was told.

It'll make a great
status symbol.

There isn't another one
like it around.

[Baby talk]

Bamm-Bamm!

Bamm-Bamm!

Hey, he swallowed
bamm-Bamm.

Ha ha ha. Your son
is in the pouch.

Pouch? What pouch?

I'll show you.

See?

Whee!

Whee!

Ha ha ha ha!

Well, I'll be.

Hey, isn't that something?

A built-In knapsack.

Whee! Whee!

[Honk honk]

[Honk honk honk]

Ha ha ha ha!

Mister, you have
just sold a hopperoo.

Ha ha ha ha.

Hey, Betty.
We're back.

Take a look
at bamm-Bamm's new pet.

Aah! What is it?

It is a hopperoo.

We'll call it hoppy
for short.

Boy, is he smart.
Watch.

Go fetch
my bowling ball, hoppy.

[Honk honk honk]

He's very intelligent.

I wonder if we are.

Here he comes, but
where's the ball?

Right in the old pouch.

See? What do you
think of him, Betty?

He is kind of cute,

And bamm-Bamm
likes him.

Okay he can stay.

Good.

But not
in the house.

Fix a place for him
in the garage.

That's a good idea.
Come on, hoppy.

I'll show you
your new home.

[Honk honk honk]

[Honk honk honk honk]

Two more home runs
from mickey mantlepiece.

Not bad.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Fred, help!

It's a mouse.

Help! Help!

Aah! Help! Help!

Hee hee hee hee.

Wilma?

What's the matter?

It's that mouse
I told you about.

He's back again!

No kidding.
I've never seen him.

I don't want
to see him again.

I want you to
catch him!

Okay, I'll get him.

Here, dino! Here, boy.
Come on, dino.

Dino?

Sure. I'll have Dino
track him down.

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Arr arr arr arr]

No, dino.
Cut it out!

Heel, boy! Heel!

Oh! Oh! Stop!
[Laughing]

I don't know
which is worse--

The mouse
or those two.

Mouse, dino.
Find the mouse.

[Sniffing]

[Arr arr arr]

He's on the trail of the mouse.
Go get him, boy!

A mouse, not a bird.

A mouse.

They go like this.

Squeak, squeak,
squeak, squeak, squeak,

Squeak.

M-O-U-S-E.
You got it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, not play dead.

Oh, boy, when they say
dumb animals,

They're not kidding.

Now watch carefully.

Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a mouse.

What are you doing?

Okay, smart guy.

You know so much,
go get him!

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Arr arr arr arr]

After him, boy!
After him!

[Arr arr arr arr]

Good work, dino!
Stay with him!

[Arr arr arr arr]

After him, boy!
After him!

[Arr arr arr arr]

Mouse! Mouse!

[Arr arr arr arr]

We're closing in
on the mouse.

[Arr arr arr arr]

He found him!

The mouse is in
Barney's garage.

[Arr arr]

Good work, dino.
You tracked him down,

So it's your mouse.
Go get him.

Huh?

[Honk honk]

[Eee eee eee eee]

[Eee eee eee eee]

I can't believe it.

Dino's turned chicken.

[Whimpering]

Dino, get out of that hole.

I'm ashamed of you.
That was disgraceful.

The very idea--

You being scared
of a teensy mouse.

Oh, that's ridiculous.

A mouse is only this big.

Now go in there
and get that mouse.

It won't work,
you ham actor.

Don't pull
that fainting act on me.

If you don't go in there,

You'll be a coward
all your life.

For your own good,
you're going back in there!

Now stop your squirming.

[Whimpers]

Come back here!

You're going in
after that mouse.

You have to beat
this thing, dino,

And I'll help you.

Let go of the door!

Get in there now.

I'll show you
who's master here.

I hate to do this, but
you'll thank me for it.

There!

[Arr arr arr arr]

You're not coming out
till you get that mouse.

[Eee eee eee eee]

[Eee eee]

Soft livin'
has made dino a coward.

Well, we're through
fooling around.

Get up out of there!

The idea!

Little mouse scaring you.

You should be ashamed
of yourself.

Dino, heel. Heel!
Stop it! Stop it!

Okay, I'm the master,

And you'll do
as I tell you.

When I say you're
going in there,

I mean you're going in!

Hey!

Alright, be a coward.

I'll get
the teensy mouse myself.

[Eek eek eek eek]

I'll eek-Eek you,
you troublemaker.

Stand still!
I'll teach you.

Take that!

And--And that!

How do you like this?

And this?

Aha.

Gotcha.

I know you're in there,

And you're going to get it.

Ooh! Ooh!

It can't be.

They don't come that big.

[Eek eek eek eek]

Okay, here it comes,
mouse.

Ooh!

Ooh! Ooh!

[Blubbering]

[Blubbering]

[Honk honk]

Aah-Aah-Aah-Aah!

You're right, Dino.

That mouse
is a monster.

I think I'll check
on hoppy.

Uh-Oh. Barney's headed
for the garage.

Wait till he gets a look
at that giant mouse.

Come on, boy.
Let's take a little walk.

[Honk honk honk honk]

Oh, no, the giant mouse
is after Barney.

I'm calling the police!

A what?

A hopperoo?

Oh, I think that's
wonderful, Betty.

Bamm-Bamm will love
having his own pet.

Wilma! Wilma, hang up!

I got to use the phone.
It's an emergency.

I'll call you back,
Betty.

Fred wants
to use the phone.

Guess what, Fred.

Barney bought a pet
for bamm-Bamm,

A hopperoo.

A hopperoo?

Uh-Huh. Barney's in the
yard with it now.

Isn't it cute?

Come on, hoppy.
Stretch your legs.

[Honk honk honk honk]

Now, what's
the emergency, Fred?

Oh...

skip it.

Now what did I say?

Keep your left high.

That's it, hoppy.

Now block my lead.

That a boy.

Keep your left out.

Don't drop your guard.

Now cross
with your right.

Hey, Barney,
what are you doing?

I'm teaching hoppy
how to box.

He's coming along fine.

You're wasting your time.
His arms are too short.

Hoppy can defend himself
real good, Fred.

Not against an expert
like me.

Here, let me
have those gloves.

Okay

I'll show him
a famous one-Two punch.

Don't blame me
if you get hurt.

Ha, ha, ha.
That's a laugh.

Come on, hoppy.

Put 'em up.
Put 'em up.

Okay, now you
try to hit me.

"Little red riding hood

"Said to the big bad
brontosaurus,

My, what big teeth
you have."

That does it.
He's gone too far this time.

What's the matter, Fred?

That guy next door
is the matter.

He's broken the straw that
holds up the camel's back.

You mean Barney?

Right.
And that monster of his.

He had that hopperoo
attack me.

Now start packing.
We're moving outta here this minute.

Okay, Fred.

But poor Betty
will have to throw away

All that good food.

What good food?

For the picnic she was
taking us on today.

Oh, yeah.

The picnic.

All those juicy
brontoburgers,

Those pizza pies,

Peanut butter
sandwiches,

Deviled dodo eggs,

All wasted.

Huh?

But if you say move,
we move.

I'll start packing
right away.

Now he'll say,

"Wait a minute,
Wilma."

Wait a minute, Wilma.

Yes, Fred?

I've been
thinking it over.

Yes?

It would be a shame
to waste all that good food.

It would?

So we'll go on the picnic with them,
then we'll move away.

Good idea Fred.

What time will we be leaving?
I'm starved.

In his present mood,
I don't dare ask him

Why he's wearing
boxing gloves.

What do you mean hoppy can't
go with us to the picnic?

There isn't enough room in
the car for that jumpin' jack.

If hoppy can't go,
dino can't go, either.

Will you two
stop arguing?

We haven't
got all day.

They both go or
they both stay.

Okay sorry, dino.
Hoppy can't go,

So you'll have to
stay home, too.

You didn't forget
the pizza pies, did you, Betty?

Nope. Didn't forget
the pizza pies.

Okay, let's go.

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk honk]

Here we are, gang,

The cliffside
picnic park.

Let's eat.

I'm with you, Fred.

[Arr arr]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk honk]

Oh, Wilma,

Do you think 20 brontoburgers
are enough?

For Fred, yes.

We can eat
something else.

Well, now.

Hey, Barney, I'll fix
that knock in your motor.

Okay, Fred.
I'll start the fire.

Oh, shucks.
Out of fluid.

Ah, here's the trouble.

Hey, Fred! Look out.
The car is moving!

What'd you say?
I can't hear you.

Wilma, look! The car!

It's rolling toward the edge
of the cliff!

Get out of there, Fred!

I can't. I'm stuck!

Hold the car, Barney! It'll go
over the cliff!

Stop the car!

Pull the brake,
Wilma.

Pull the brake!
Pull the brake!

Pull, Wilma! Pull!

I can't.
It's stuck.

Let me out of here!

I'm out.

[Wind blows]

Hey, what are we
doing up here?

That's a good
question, Fred.

Wilma:
got a good answer?

[Gulps] oh, boy.

[Baby talk]

[Baby talk]

Fred! Look!

Oh, no!

Da-Da.

Ma-Ma.

[Baby talk]

Go back, Pebbles!
Back!

Go back!

Get away,
bamm-Bamm!

Go back!

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk honk]

Go back, Pebbles!
Get away!

Please, bamm-Bamm.
Go back.

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Blows whistle]

[Honk]

[Honk honk honk honk]

You trying to
tell me something?

[Honk honk honk honk]

Hey, just a minute, you!

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Arrooo]

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Honk honk honk honk]

Well, I'll be.

Hooray! We're saved!

Yoo-Hoo, officer.

Thank goodness
you're here.

Don't you know it's illegal to
park down there?

Fred, Wilma,

Did you see hoppy's picture
in the paper?

Our hoppy
is a big hero.

I know. I bought
50 copies of the paper.

You know why,
don't you?

Fred got his picture
in the paper, too.

Fred: oh, Wilma.
Ha ha ha.

Wilma, look.

Oh, isn't that cute?

[Honk honk honk honk]

[Arr arr arr arr]

Hey, dino.
Where are the kids?

[Arr arr arr arr]

[Laughing]

Flintstones,

Someday, maybe Fred

Will win the fight

Then that cat will stay out

For the night
