• [Fred and Barney approach a construction worker asleep on a sign] 

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, boy, what a shot.

  Barney Rubble : Uh, you mean that sign that says "Men At Work"?

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah, but what's this guy doing?

  Barney Rubble : Just sleeping, that's all. Hey, that's funny!

  [laughs] 

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah, yeah. Ssh! Ssh! Now, be quiet. I don't want to wake him up and spoil the shot. A picture like this should be worth a bundle.

  [focuses the camera] 

  Fred Flintstone : Now, to make sure I got everything in, and the focus is just right.

  [the construction worker wakes up and punches Fred] 

  Construction Worker : A picture like that could lose me my job, wise guy. Very funny.

  Barney Rubble : You think that's funny, you should have seen him taking baby pictures!

• Barney Rubble : Staying home on our vacation is the best idea we ever had, Fred. Uh, it'll save us a lot of dough.

  Fred Flintstone : Yeah, but I didn't figure we'd have to do the shopping.

  Barney Rubble : Well, what's the difference? Uh, we didn't have nothing to do anyway.

  Fred Flintstone : Maybe you didn't, Barney, but this was going to be my put-and-take week.

  Barney Rubble : Put-and-take? What does that mean?

  Fred Flintstone : I was going to put a couple of points on my bowling score and take a couple off my golf score.

• Barney Rubble : But, uh, Fred, we don't know nothing about photography.

  Fred Flintstone : What's to know? You point the camera and snap the picture.

  Barney Rubble : Yeah, but, uh, how do you know what to point the camera at?

  Fred Flintstone : It tells how in the book. The best pictures are subjects that excite the photographer most. It's easy.

  Barney Rubble : Well, you mean you can make a living just taking pictures of food?

• [Barney is sitting on a flagpole, hoping to find news] 

  Barney Rubble : Hey, Fred, I've been up here for an hour already. This ain't news unless I break the flagpole-sitting record.

  Fred Flintstone : Well, what's the record?

  Barney Rubble : 104 days.

  Fred Flintstone : Oooh, now he tells me.

• Fred Flintstone : Ssh!

  Barney Rubble : What's up, Fred?

  Fred Flintstone : You hear anything?

  [a chirping sound is heard] 

  Barney Rubble : Well, uh, just birds chirping.

  Fred Flintstone : Just birds? There's a pterodactyl nest around here. Don't that mean anything to you?

  Barney Rubble : Uh, yeah. I-It means there's a mother pterodactyl around someplace and I'm getting the heck out of here!

• Fred Flintstone : Step back, everybody. When I get her to smile, snap her picture quick, Barney-boy. Now, my little angel, smile.

  [tickles the Millrocks' baby] 

  Fred Flintstone : Coochie, coochie, coochie.

  [makes a funny face] 

  Fred Flintstone : Come on, give me that great big smile.

  [makes another funny face] 

  Fred Flintstone : Come on, give it to me.

  [the baby punches her bowl of baby food, knocking it into Fred's face] 

  Barney Rubble : She sure gave it to ya!
