Quotes 

• Fred Flintstone : I, um, got some news for you, Barney. I may be getting another and better job.

  Barney Rubble : Oh, no fooling? Where?

  Fred Flintstone : I answered this ad in the paper.

  Barney Rubble : [reads the ad]  Let's see, uh, "Wanted. Man for high position at Stone Valley Inn. Must be executive type, college graduate, speak Spanish. Salary $450 per month plus meals." And you applied for this job, Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : Uh-huh, and I should be getting an answer any day now. Sounds like some job, huh, Barn?

  Barney Rubble : It sure does, Fred, but, uh...

  Fred Flintstone : Uh what?

  Barney Rubble : Uh, you ain't a college graduate.

  Fred Flintstone : So who has to know? If they want to see my diploma, I'll tell them it was lost in a fire.

  Barney Rubble : Oh, sure, and if they want to hear you speak Spanish, you'll tell them your accent was lost in a fire, too.

• Barney Rubble : I think Wilma is still the sweet, lovable wife she always was and it's gonna take more than a few attempts on your life to make me think otherwise.

• [Fred is selected to be the knife-throwing target] 

  Fred Flintstone : Help! Barney, do something!

  Barney Rubble : Don't worry, Fred. I will. If he sticks you with a knife, boy, will I boo him.

• Barney Rubble : I still think you're worrying over nothing, Fred. Uh, your move.

  Fred Flintstone : Nothing? My own wife slings a cleaver at me, tries to do me in with a pillow, and you call that nothing?

• [after Fred signs for the insurance policy] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Thanks, Fred. I certainly hope I never need it, but you never know. Insurance can be a wife's best friend.

  [Wilma leaves] 

  Barney Rubble : Hmm.

  Fred Flintstone : What's with the "Hmm"?

  Barney Rubble : Oh, I was just thinking about what Wilma said. "Insurance can be a wife's best friend."

  Fred Flintstone : So?

  Barney Rubble : So 40,000 bucks could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

  Fred Flintstone : Will you cut that out?

• Barney Rubble : [to Fred]  Wilma's no dope. If she wanted to get rid of you, she wouldn't throw a cleaver at you. She'd do something safe like, uh, putting bug spray in your soup.

  Wilma Flintstone : Come on, Fred, your soup's ready!
