• [after Fred receives a telegram] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Don't read it, Fred. Telegrams are bad news.

  Fred Flintstone : What? Why, that is the silliest thing I ever heard of. Where did you get that idea?

  Wilma Flintstone : Mama always said...

  Fred Flintstone : [mimics]  "Mama always said. Mama always said." Oh, that's a hot one. Now, if you and your mother don't mind, I'll read my telegram.

  [reads the telegram] 

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, no!

  Wilma Flintstone : I knew it, I knew it. Like Mama always said.

  Fred Flintstone : My rich uncle, Tex Hardrock, is coming to visit us.

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, dear, I knew it would be bad news. Hey, wait a minute, that's good news.

  Fred Flintstone : No, it isn't. It's bad news. Here, read it.

  Wilma Flintstone : [reads telegram]  "Dear favorite nephew: Arriving tomorrow to visit you and your wife. I'm anxious to meet my namesake Little Tex. Signed, Big Tex." Who's Little Tex, Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : That's the bad news. There is no Little Tex.

  Wilma Flintstone : What are you talking about?

  Fred Flintstone : Well, to, uh, get on the good side of my rich uncle, I, um, I told him we named our baby after him.

  Wilma Flintstone : But we have no baby.

  Fred Flintstone : I know that, but we gotta get one before Uncle Tex arrives tomorrow.

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, come now, Fred. The very soonest we could poss...

  Fred Flintstone : I'm talking about a loaner. A rental baby. Wilma, if there's no Little Tex here when Big Tex arrives, I am disinherited.

  Wilma Flintstone : See? Mama was right.

  Fred Flintstone : Come on, Wilma. Open your eyes, sweetheart. See? It's me, Fred.

  Wilma Flintstone : [wakes up]  Fred. Oh, oh, yeah. Fred.

  Barney Rubble : Hey, hey, Betty, wake up, wake up. Look, it's me.

  [Betty wakes up, but after seeing Barney still dressed as a baby, she screams and faints again] 

  Barney Rubble : Uh-oh. B-Betty's out again, Fred.

  Wilma Flintstone : Aaah! There's that thing again!

  [Wilma, too, faints again] 

  Fred Flintstone : Barney, will you shut up and go in the house so I can get them on their feet.
