• Betty Rubble : Oh, but, Barney, it's not your fault you have more on the ball than Fred, so they made you Fred's boss.

  Barney Rubble : [chuckles]  That's a laugh. I wouldn't have the job at all, except Mr. Slate discovered he's my uncle.

  Betty Rubble : Your uncle? And I thought you got the job because you were brilliant.

  Barney Rubble : Now you should know better than that.

• [Wilma and Betty suggest Fred try to get Barney a job at the quarry] 

  Fred Flintstone : Well, I'd be glad to, but Barney doesn't know anything about the gravel pit business. They use only skilled professionals.

  Barney Rubble : Oh, oh, but I'd do anything, Fred. Sweep floors, run errands, I'd work hard. I'd advance myself. I wouldn't stop until I was running the big machine.

  Fred Flintstone : Running the big machine? That's MY job, you eager beaver! You heard that, Wilma? This guy's angling to steal my job!

• Fred Flintstone : Barney, I'd offer you some dough, only I know you're too proud to take it.

  Barney Rubble : Try me.

  Fred Flintstone : Okay, here's a ten spot, but I know you won't take it because I'm a student of human nature.

  [Barney takes the ten dollars] 

  Barney Rubble : Thanks, Fred, but you're not a student of the unemployed, and you still owe me 40 bucks more from last year.

  Fred Flintstone : That's only because you won't bowl me double or nothing.

  Barney Rubble : But you beat me at bowling every time, Fred.

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, boy, what a cheapskate excuse.
