The Flintstones (1960–1966): Season 5, Episode 19 - The Hatrocks and the Gruesomes - full transcript
Fred fears a visit by Jethro Hatrock, who was in feud with his family in the past, but he comes in peace as he is on the way with his family to the World's Fair. But Fred's generosity goes too far, as the Hatrocks extend their stay at the Flintstones'household, and Wilma does not like it. To get rid of the Hatrocks, Fred send them to the Gruesomes with no luck. However, he founds something the hillbillies really hate: Bug Music ! This might be the solution !
Okay, bamm-Bamm.
Here's one right over
The old plate-A-Roo.
Oh, boy, Bamm-Bamm.
What a hit.
Hey, Fred!
I'll get it!
I'll get it!
[Crunch]
Yeow!
Help! Help!
Let go!
Let go!
What is going on?
Get me out of here!
Oh, Fred, is that you?
I cannot understand it.
She already had
a big dinner.
Well, maybe she's having
Fred for dessert.
[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
Rock-A-Bye, baby
On the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will...
[crying]
When the bow breaks,
the cradle will fall
And down will come baby
[Softer]

Maybe you'll have
better luck.
[Arr arr]
Thanks, dino.
[Barking

[Slowing down]
[Crying]
[Crying]
[Laughing]
Fred, what are we
doing tonight?
Are we going
anyplace?
Why? Do we have to
go someplace?
Okay, then we'll invite
somebody over here.
Well, that's even worse.
Why do we always
have to have company?
You're right,
Fred.
For once, let's spend a nice,
quiet evening at home.
That's alright
with me, dear.
Oh, darn.
I was hoping to have
the evening off.
Fred: I wonder
who that can be.
Telegram for
Mr. Fred Flintstone.
I'm Mr. Flintstone.
Ah, it's been
a long time
Since I got
a telegram.
Do they still
tip you guys?
No. I just do this
for laughs.
I'm really an eccentric
millionaire.
Alright, wise guy.
Here's a dime.
A dime? Gee, thanks.
Thanks a lot.
Now I can resume
my education.
I was an
elementary dropout.
Fresh kid.
Fred, what's
the matter?
Is it bad news?
Oh, brother. I'll say.
It's from that hillbilly
Jethro Hatrock.
He's coming here
to blast me.
What?
"Arrive Bedrock
thursday, the 8th.
"Looking forward
to seeing you.
Regards,
Jethro Hatrock."
Oh, dear.
Wilma, what are we
going to do?
But Fred, this
doesn't sound like
He means you
any harm.
Have you forgotten about the
Flintstone-Hatrock feud?
He's the sworn enemy
of us Flintstones.
This feud's been going on
for a 100 years.
I'm getting outta here!
But you always said this
cave was your castle.
Who cares?
I got to get outta here.
Fred, be sensible.
You can't up
and leave
just because one of the
Hatrocks is coming to town.
Yeah! You're right.
I'll stay here and fight.
I'll-I'll defend my castle.
And I'll get barney
to help me.
Barney will be glad
to help.
He's my true friend.
He won't let me down.
Hello, Barney?
I need your help,
Barney.
A guy is coming to town
to kill me.
Hello? Hello?
How do you like that?
We must have been cut off.
Okay, it's d-Day
and almost h-Hour,
But we're ready for him.
No Hatrock
can get in here now.
Fred, this is ridiculous.
The Hatrocks wouldn't
carry on their feud here.
This isn't Arkanstone.
Don't kid yourself,
Wilma.
No matter where
the Hatrocks go,
It's open season on flintstones.
[Knocking at door]
Shh! I hear something.
He's coming!
- Women and children to the rear.
- Oh, dear!
Just a minute, Dino.
You are neither a woman
nor a children.
Flintstone, it's me,
Jethro Hatrock.
It's no use, Hatrock.
I got the place
barricaded.
A sherman tank
couldn't get in.
We meet again, Flintstone.
Ohh...
Fred! Fred!
Ohh...
are you alright?
Ohh...
howdy, Fred, old pal.
P-P-Pal?
Did you hear that, Wilma?
He called me pal.
Of course. Jethro's not here
to hurt you
Or feud
with you, Fred.
Now, then what's he
doing here?
I'm on my way
to the world's fair.
Just dropped by
to say howdy.
Can't stay
but a min-u-it.
You can't? Well, gee...
that's too bad, Jethro.
I was hoping you could
visit with us for a spell,
at least
spend the night.
You know you're welcome.
You mean that?
Of course.
As that old saying goes,
Be my guest.
Ha ha ha!
[Whistles]
Oh, boy.
One day the Hatrocks
are your mortal enemies,
And the next day you got
'em as house guests.
I don't get it, Fred.
It's easy, Barney.
I got a big mouth.
I second that.
Well, all I can say is,
These rocks aren't the most
comfortable things to sit on.
Can't we go inside?
There's no place
to sit in there.
Those Hatrocks
are everywhere.
Hey, Barney, it's almost time
to watch the fights. C'mon.
I'm with you, Fred.
Hiya, folks.
Hey, Barney and me came in
To watch the fights
on tv.
Fights? I don't see
no fights
On that there tv box.
That is Clem Cadiddlerock,
The famous slap-Jawed
tv troubadour.
It's on the other channel.
I'll get it.
Don't touch that dial,
you varmint!
Y-Y-Yes, sir.
Oh, well-Well, we can
always read about the fight
In the paper
tomorrow, Fred.
No, Barney. We can see it
as soon as this show's over.
Well, cheer up, Fred.
They're only here for
one night, you know.
Quiet!
I can't remember
the last time
I saw the sun come up.
These Hatrocks certainly
believe in getting up early.
Danged critter!
Next trip we take
I'm leavin' her
in the kennel.
[Oink oink]
I wouldn't miss seeing them
off for the world.
This is going to be the
happiest goodbye of my life.
Well, Flintstone, looks like we's
all loaded up and ready to get.
Come on, pa.
Stop your lollygagging.
Okay.
Hold onto your britches.
That there zack
is a caution.
We can't leave
early enough for him.
Yeah, I feel
the same way.
What Fred means
is there's nothing like
an early start.
Yeah, well,
so long, folksies,
And thank you
for your horsepitality.
Bye.
You're welcome, Jethro.
I'm just sorry you have
to leave so soon.
You mean that?
I was just telling Wilma,
One night is hardly
any time at all.
Too bad you couldn't
stay a week.
[Whistles]
[Hooting and hollering]
Gerockimo!
Well, it looks like
Mr. Big mouth
strikes again.
[Snoring]
Sleep, sleep.
Come on, sleep.
One night is hardly
any time at all.
Too bad you couldn't
stay a week.
Alright, alright.
You don't have to
rub it in.
Eat up, folks.
There's plenty more.
Thanks for the food, pal.
You saved my life.
I-I tell you, those Hatrocks eat
like a herd of locusts.
I never saw
such appetites.
The only thing left in the icebox
is a half a head of lettuce.
Hey, Flintstone,
you got any more
Of that there
fancy shaving cream?
Why? Don't tell me you're
going to shave again.
Nope. It's for Granny.
She says it goes great
on lettuce.
Well, that takes care
of the lettuce.
Oh, how long are your
guests staying?
They should be
leaving tomorrow.
Blabber mouth here invited
them to stay for a week.
I didn't really
invite them.
They just took
advantage of my...my...
stupidity?
I was going to say
good nature.
Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hey, bamm-Bamm,
what's the matter?
I thought you were
playing with pebbles.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Oh, he's upset
about something.
I better go
investigate.
[Baby talk]
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bamm-Bamm, don't tell
me you're jealous.
Go over and show
Pebbles what you can do.
[Baby talk]
Ha ha ha!
[Crying]
What's the matter, Slab?
That little city slicker
beating your time?
Well, I'll fix you.
Bam! Bam!
Ha ha ha!
[Crying]
Oh, don't mess with him,
Slab.
Well, he's the strongest kid
in the world.
There it is, Wilma.
The Dinosaur's Club Cafe.
Yeah,
italian cuisine.
The spaghetti
and rockballs here
is out
of this world.
Good. I'm starved.
I'm a-so sorry,
signore and signora,
But we all
a-Closed up.
Closed? But
it's only 7:00.
Si, signore, but we had
a party of five,
and they ate
everything in sight.
In fact,
they still at it.
How do you like that?
They got the latest
bug music.
I just love that
swinging group,
The four insects.
Yeah, and how about those
wild haircuts they got?
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
We said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah!
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Bug music!
We can't stand bug music.
That bug music
drives us plum loco.
Cease fire! Cease fire!
Sheesh! I just play 'em.
I don't pick 'em.
You ready, Jethro?
Let's go!
[Hooting and hollering]
I guess they don't care
for bug music.
Yeah.
Oh, we're starved.
Didn't they leave
anything at all?
As a matter of fact,
they did-- The check.
They signed your name.
Oh, that does it!
I'm telling those
Hatrocks off
as soon
as we get home!
Oh, boy... deadbeats.
Now look here, you.
Well,
lookee who's here.
If it ain't our
horsepitable host.
It ain't
going to be easy
saying goodbye to you tomorrow,
Freddie boy.
Huh?
Yep. We're pushing
off tomorry.
Well, has it been
a week already?
Time sure flies.
Yep, much as we hate
to leave you,
We's just got to catch
the world's fair.
Got to get there
'fore the fair closes.
Oh, well, you don't have
to worry about that.
The fair's going to be there
for two more years yet.
You mean that?
Well, I--I--Ee--
That is--
Well, then, there
ain't no rush at all.
We can stay till
hog branding time.
Did you say
hog branding time?
That's correct.
Hog branding time.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Hog branding time.
Did you tell them off?
When are they leaving?
I--I don't know. When
is hog branding time?
Hog branding time?
I don't know when it is,
But it doesn't
sound like tomorrow.
I was afraid of that.
Now, bamm-Bamm, I'll toss
the ball to you,
And you try
to hit it to daddy.
Okay bamm,
here's the pitch.
Uh-Oh. It's going over
into Fred's yard.
Hey, Fred, hey-Hey would you
get that ball please?
Got it, barn!
Nice catch,
Mr. Flintstone.
Oh, mr. Gruesome.
Nice sunny day,
isn't it?
Yes, if you like
sunny days.
Uh, what's that you're doing?
I'm feeding one
of my prize-Winning
Little
man-Eating plants.
Hungry little devils,
aren't they?
They like lots
of meat.
Hey, Fred!
How about the ball?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Barney.
Here it is.
Thanks, Fred.
Okay, Bamm-Bamm.
Here's one right over
The old plate-A-Roo.
Oh, boy, Bamm-Bamm.
What a hit.
Hey, Fred!
I'll get it!
I'll get it!
[Crunch]
Yeow!
Help! Help!
Let go!
Let go!
What is going on?
Get me out of here!
Oh, Fred, is that you?
I cannot understand it.
She already had
a big dinner.
Well, maybe she's having
Fred for dessert.
Alright, you little
rascal you,
Let the nice man go.
Come on. Down, baby.
That's the good girl.
Come on. Come on.
Now the ball.
She wasn't hungry.
She just wanted to play.
Here's your ball, Fred.
Thank you.
Sheesh!
What a place.
Boy, could that yard use
a good mowing.
You could lose
a whole family in there
With all those
man-Eating plants around.
You ain't kidding--
Did you say lose a family?
Say, Mr. Gruesome.
Yes, Fred.
How would you like
to do your neighbor
a big favor, huh?
Why, sure,
Mr. Flintstone.
Always like to be
neighborly.
Well, now,
that's right friendly.
Did y'all hear that?
We's all invited
over to the neighbors
for a barbecue.
For true, pa?
That's what the man said.
He did.
Yeah, the Gruesomes
got quite a place.
Wait till you see
his garden. Ha ha ha!
You will have
a ball.
Sounds like fun.
Can we go
dressed like this,
Or is it informal?
It's all set.
As soon as the Hatrocks
see our Gruesome neighbors
And their man-Eating plants,
They'll get so scared
They'll be gone
in no time.
I hope so. Because if they're
around much longer,
The old Flintstone-Hatrock
feud is liable to start again.
Oh, they wouldn't do anything
to start that.
No, but I would.
Ah, Creepella,
my dear,
You don't look
at all well today.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, you look
a little frightening.
Oh, you men
with your flattery.
Ha ha ha!
Say, Fred, you did
not bring much meat.
We have a lot
of people here.
Don't worry, Mr. Gruesome.
Them Hatrocks
won't be here long.
Hey, Mr. Gruesome,
you know
That fierce alligator
you got in the back?
Ha ha! Wait till they see him.
They'll be out of here
like a herd of jackrabbits.
Gee, I dunno, Fred.
They tied a tin can to his tail
And they're chasing him
all over the yard.
Fred: what?!
That, my dear boy,
is positively ridiculous.
[Hooting
and hollering]
Let me hold him
for a while, granny, please.
Leave that
poor critter alone.
He's plum tuckered out.
There must be something
around here that'll scare them.
Yeah. There's got to be
something.
Bring on that
barbecue food.
Smells mighty good.
But you're going to
rustle up
Some more
of them burgers,
Ain't you,
Mr. Gruesome?
Fred!
Okay, okay
I'll get some more.
And we likes
our burgers extry rare,
So you don't
have to cook it.
Yes, sir.
You're a mighty fine
host, Mr. Gruesome.
[Slurping]
Don't worry, Fred.
Just wait till they
see Gobbie's octopus.
That will
scare them.
Yeah, wait'll they get
a load of that monster.
Hey, Gobbie.
Yes, mr. Flintstone.
How about showing our
guests your octopus?
I did. I did.
Hey, Flintstone!
How's about getting
a picture of this
For the folks back home?
Oh, boy.
Looks like your idea ain't
working out too good. Huh?
But the food's
a big success.
They've already
gone through
30 bucks worth
of brontoburgers
And 12 bucks worth
of grape juice.
Let's face it, Barn.
Those Hatrocks
don't scare easy.
Hey, ma, zack.
Look on me.
I likes a plant with spirit.
You're right, Fred.
Instead of being scared,
They seem
to enjoy it.
Hey, take it
easy, pappy.
I'll help you.
You let your pappy be.
Go find your own plant.
Lookit here.
I believe this thing
loves me.
They sure are mighty
friendly critters.
Stay here, Slab,
While granny talks
to our charming hostess.
Ah, Mrs. Gruesome, my dear.
You're going to
have to let me
Take a sprig of this
here plant home with me.
It makes a real fine
baby-Sitter.
[Snoring]
Mind your manners.
Oh, Mr. Gruesome,
I don't want to spoil
this here lovely party,
But there's something
down that well.
Oh, that's only
uncle Ghastly.
He lives down there.
Uncle Ghastly lives
down in the well?
Yes. He's on Creepella's
side of the family.
Ha ha ha!
He is full of laughs.
[Deep voice]
hoo hoo hah hah hah!
Well, thanks for the use
of the yard, neighbor.
You're quite welcome,
Fred, old boy.
I'm sorry we didn't make
the wrong impression
On the Hatrocks.
Imagine them
liking us.
Weirdly, you don't suppose
we're losing our touch.
Oh, no, Creepella.
We're just as repulsive
as ever we were.
Oh, thank goodness
for that.
It's just that them Hatrocks
are kinda peculiar people.
Yeah. But there's
got to be some way
of getting rid
of them.
I dunno, Fred. Everything
we do for them, they like.
Yeah. The only thing
we found they don't like
Is bug music.
Bug music?
Yeah, bug music
drives them crazy.
I don't blame them.
Oh yes. That music
is even more Gruesome
than we are.
Yeah, that's it.
Barney, come on.
We got work to do.
[Snoring]
Hurry up, Barney.
All set, Fred.
Now let's fix
the telephone.
Make it snappy, Barn.
Right, Fred.
I'll have it fixed
in a jiffy.
Okay, Fred.
Let's go.
All set, group?
All set.
Ha ha ha!
Hey, Fred, the Gruesomes
are all set, too.
Good!
Uh-1...uh-2...
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Bug music!
I can't stand
bug music.
It's giving me the horrors.
Turn it off!
It's that radio.
I'll get it.
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't stop
the ornery thing!
I'll call the cops.
Get me
the police department.
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah
I'm getting out of here.
Let's go over
to the Gruesomes.
Yeah, they're our
kind of people.
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Jumping Jehosafat!
There's more
of them critters.
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
[Hooting and hollering]
Dagnabbit!
We are surrounded.
[Mumbling bug music]
Granny:
step on it, pa.
It's only two more miles
To the world's fair.
Jethro:
at the world's fair,
Bug music...
with them 4 insects.
Zack:

Those Hatrocks
are everywhere.
Hey, Barney, it's almost time
to watch the fights. C'mon.
I'm with you, Fred.
Hiya, folks.
Hey, Barney and me came in
To watch the fights
on tv.
Fights? I don't see
no fights
On that there tv box.
That is Clem Cadiddlerock,
The famous slap-Jawed
tv troubadour.
It's on the other channel.
I'll get it.
Don't touch that dial,
you varmint!
Y-Y-Yes, sir.
Oh, well-Well, we can
always read about the fight
In the paper
tomorrow, Fred.
No, Barney. We can see it
as soon as this show's over.
Well, cheer up, Fred.
They're only here for
one night, you know.
Quiet!
I can't remember
the last time
I saw the sun come up.
These Hatrocks certainly
believe in getting up early.
Danged critter!
Next trip we take
I'm leavin' her
in the kennel.
[Oink oink]
I wouldn't miss seeing them
off for the world.
This is going to be the
happiest goodbye of my life.
Well, Flintstone, looks like we's
all loaded up and ready to get.
Come on, pa.
Stop your lollygagging.
Okay.
Hold onto your britches.
That there zack
is a caution.
We can't leave
early enough for him.
Yeah, I feel
the same way.
What Fred means
is there's nothing like
an early start.
Yeah, well,
so long, folksies,
And thank you
for your horsepitality.
Bye.
You're welcome, Jethro.
I'm just sorry you have
to leave so soon.
You mean that?
I was just telling Wilma,
One night is hardly
any time at all.
Too bad you couldn't
stay a week.
[Whistles]
[Hooting and hollering]
Gerockimo!
Well, it looks like
Mr. Big mouth
strikes again.
[Snoring]
Sleep, sleep.
Come on, sleep.
One night is hardly
any time at all.
Too bad you couldn't
stay a week.
Alright, alright.
You don't have to
rub it in.
Eat up, folks.
There's plenty more.
Thanks for the food, pal.
You saved my life.
I-I tell you, those Hatrocks eat
like a herd of locusts.
I never saw
such appetites.
The only thing left in the icebox
is a half a head of lettuce.
Hey, Flintstone,
you got any more
Of that there
fancy shaving cream?
Why? Don't tell me you're
going to shave again.
Nope. It's for Granny.
She says it goes great
on lettuce.
Well, that takes care
of the lettuce.
Oh, how long are your
guests staying?
They should be
leaving tomorrow.
Blabber mouth here invited
them to stay for a week.
I didn't really
invite them.
They just took
advantage of my...my...
stupidity?
I was going to say
good nature.
Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Hey, bamm-Bamm,
what's the matter?
I thought you were
playing with pebbles.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Oh, he's upset
about something.
I better go
investigate.
[Baby talk]
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bamm-Bamm, don't tell
me you're jealous.
Go over and show
Pebbles what you can do.
[Baby talk]
Ha ha ha!
[Crying]
What's the matter, Slab?
That little city slicker
beating your time?
Well, I'll fix you.
Bam! Bam!
Ha ha ha!
[Crying]
Oh, don't mess with him,
Slab.
Well, he's the strongest kid
in the world.
There it is, Wilma.
The Dinosaur's Club Cafe.
Yeah,
italian cuisine.
The spaghetti
and rockballs here
is out
of this world.
Good. I'm starved.
I'm a-so sorry,
signore and signora,
But we all
a-Closed up.
Closed? But
it's only 7:00.
Si, signore, but we had
a party of five,
and they ate
everything in sight.
In fact,
they still at it.
How do you like that?
They got the latest
bug music.
I just love that
swinging group,
The four insects.
Yeah, and how about those
wild haircuts they got?
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
We said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah!
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Bug music!
We can't stand bug music.
That bug music
drives us plum loco.
Cease fire! Cease fire!
Sheesh! I just play 'em.
I don't pick 'em.
You ready, Jethro?
Let's go!
[Hooting and hollering]
I guess they don't care
for bug music.
Yeah.
Oh, we're starved.
Didn't they leave
anything at all?
As a matter of fact,
they did-- The check.
They signed your name.
Oh, that does it!
I'm telling those
Hatrocks off
as soon
as we get home!
Oh, boy... deadbeats.
Now look here, you.
Well,
lookee who's here.
If it ain't our
horsepitable host.
It ain't
going to be easy
saying goodbye to you tomorrow,
Freddie boy.
Huh?
Yep. We're pushing
off tomorry.
Well, has it been
a week already?
Time sure flies.
Yep, much as we hate
to leave you,
We's just got to catch
the world's fair.
Got to get there
'fore the fair closes.
Oh, well, you don't have
to worry about that.
The fair's going to be there
for two more years yet.
You mean that?
Well, I--I--Ee--
That is--
Well, then, there
ain't no rush at all.
We can stay till
hog branding time.
Did you say
hog branding time?
That's correct.
Hog branding time.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Hog branding time.
Did you tell them off?
When are they leaving?
I--I don't know. When
is hog branding time?
Hog branding time?
I don't know when it is,
But it doesn't
sound like tomorrow.
I was afraid of that.
Now, bamm-Bamm, I'll toss
the ball to you,
And you try
to hit it to daddy.
Okay bamm,
here's the pitch.
Uh-Oh. It's going over
into Fred's yard.
Hey, Fred, hey-Hey would you
get that ball please?
Got it, barn!
Nice catch,
Mr. Flintstone.
Oh, mr. Gruesome.
Nice sunny day,
isn't it?
Yes, if you like
sunny days.
Uh, what's that you're doing?
I'm feeding one
of my prize-Winning
Little
man-Eating plants.
Hungry little devils,
aren't they?
They like lots
of meat.
Hey, Fred!
How about the ball?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, Barney.
Here it is.
Thanks, Fred.
Okay, Bamm-Bamm.
Here's one right over
The old plate-A-Roo.
Oh, boy, Bamm-Bamm.
What a hit.
Hey, Fred!
I'll get it!
I'll get it!
[Crunch]
Yeow!
Help! Help!
Let go!
Let go!
What is going on?
Get me out of here!
Oh, Fred, is that you?
I cannot understand it.
She already had
a big dinner.
Well, maybe she's having
Fred for dessert.
Alright, you little
rascal you,
Let the nice man go.
Come on. Down, baby.
That's the good girl.
Come on. Come on.
Now the ball.
She wasn't hungry.
She just wanted to play.
Here's your ball, Fred.
Thank you.
Sheesh!
What a place.
Boy, could that yard use
a good mowing.
You could lose
a whole family in there
With all those
man-Eating plants around.
You ain't kidding--
Did you say lose a family?
Say, Mr. Gruesome.
Yes, Fred.
How would you like
to do your neighbor
a big favor, huh?
Why, sure,
Mr. Flintstone.
Always like to be
neighborly.
Well, now,
that's right friendly.
Did y'all hear that?
We's all invited
over to the neighbors
for a barbecue.
For true, pa?
That's what the man said.
He did.
Yeah, the Gruesomes
got quite a place.
Wait till you see
his garden. Ha ha ha!
You will have
a ball.
Sounds like fun.
Can we go
dressed like this,
Or is it informal?
It's all set.
As soon as the Hatrocks
see our Gruesome neighbors
And their man-Eating plants,
They'll get so scared
They'll be gone
in no time.
I hope so. Because if they're
around much longer,
The old Flintstone-Hatrock
feud is liable to start again.
Oh, they wouldn't do anything
to start that.
No, but I would.
Ah, Creepella,
my dear,
You don't look
at all well today.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, you look
a little frightening.
Oh, you men
with your flattery.
Ha ha ha!
Say, Fred, you did
not bring much meat.
We have a lot
of people here.
Don't worry, Mr. Gruesome.
Them Hatrocks
won't be here long.
Hey, Mr. Gruesome,
you know
That fierce alligator
you got in the back?
Ha ha! Wait till they see him.
They'll be out of here
like a herd of jackrabbits.
Gee, I dunno, Fred.
They tied a tin can to his tail
And they're chasing him
all over the yard.
Fred: what?!
That, my dear boy,
is positively ridiculous.
[Hooting
and hollering]
Let me hold him
for a while, granny, please.
Leave that
poor critter alone.
He's plum tuckered out.
There must be something
around here that'll scare them.
Yeah. There's got to be
something.
Bring on that
barbecue food.
Smells mighty good.
But you're going to
rustle up
Some more
of them burgers,
Ain't you,
Mr. Gruesome?
Fred!
Okay, okay
I'll get some more.
And we likes
our burgers extry rare,
So you don't
have to cook it.
Yes, sir.
You're a mighty fine
host, Mr. Gruesome.
[Slurping]
Don't worry, Fred.
Just wait till they
see Gobbie's octopus.
That will
scare them.
Yeah, wait'll they get
a load of that monster.
Hey, Gobbie.
Yes, mr. Flintstone.
How about showing our
guests your octopus?
I did. I did.
Hey, Flintstone!
How's about getting
a picture of this
For the folks back home?
Oh, boy.
Looks like your idea ain't
working out too good. Huh?
But the food's
a big success.
They've already
gone through
30 bucks worth
of brontoburgers
And 12 bucks worth
of grape juice.
Let's face it, Barn.
Those Hatrocks
don't scare easy.
Hey, ma, zack.
Look on me.
I likes a plant with spirit.
You're right, Fred.
Instead of being scared,
They seem
to enjoy it.
Hey, take it
easy, pappy.
I'll help you.
You let your pappy be.
Go find your own plant.
Lookit here.
I believe this thing
loves me.
They sure are mighty
friendly critters.
Stay here, Slab,
While granny talks
to our charming hostess.
Ah, Mrs. Gruesome, my dear.
You're going to
have to let me
Take a sprig of this
here plant home with me.
It makes a real fine
baby-Sitter.
[Snoring]
Mind your manners.
Oh, Mr. Gruesome,
I don't want to spoil
this here lovely party,
But there's something
down that well.
Oh, that's only
uncle Ghastly.
He lives down there.
Uncle Ghastly lives
down in the well?
Yes. He's on Creepella's
side of the family.
Ha ha ha!
He is full of laughs.
[Deep voice]
hoo hoo hah hah hah!
Well, thanks for the use
of the yard, neighbor.
You're quite welcome,
Fred, old boy.
I'm sorry we didn't make
the wrong impression
On the Hatrocks.
Imagine them
liking us.
Weirdly, you don't suppose
we're losing our touch.
Oh, no, Creepella.
We're just as repulsive
as ever we were.
Oh, thank goodness
for that.
It's just that them Hatrocks
are kinda peculiar people.
Yeah. But there's
got to be some way
of getting rid
of them.
I dunno, Fred. Everything
we do for them, they like.
Yeah. The only thing
we found they don't like
Is bug music.
Bug music?
Yeah, bug music
drives them crazy.
I don't blame them.
Oh yes. That music
is even more Gruesome
than we are.
Yeah, that's it.
Barney, come on.
We got work to do.
[Snoring]
Hurry up, Barney.
All set, Fred.
Now let's fix
the telephone.
Make it snappy, Barn.
Right, Fred.
I'll have it fixed
in a jiffy.
Okay, Fred.
Let's go.
All set, group?
All set.
Ha ha ha!
Hey, Fred, the Gruesomes
are all set, too.
Good!
Uh-1...uh-2...
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Bug music!
I can't stand
bug music.
It's giving me the horrors.
Turn it off!
It's that radio.
I'll get it.
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
I can't stop
the ornery thing!
I'll call the cops.
Get me
the police department.
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Aah
I'm getting out of here.
Let's go over
to the Gruesomes.
Yeah, they're our
kind of people.
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
Jumping Jehosafat!
There's more
of them critters.
I said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
He said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
She said,
yeah, yeah, yeah
[Hooting and hollering]
Dagnabbit!
We are surrounded.
[Mumbling bug music]
Granny:
step on it, pa.
It's only two more miles
To the world's fair.
Jethro:
at the world's fair,
Bug music...
with them 4 insects.
Zack:
head for the hills, pa.
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!
