Wilma Flintstone : Oh, Fred.
Fred Flintstone : Yeah? What is it, Wilma?
Wilma Flintstone : This ball they gave me is no good. It's full of holes.
Fred Flintstone : Full of holes? Those holes are supposed to be in it. You put your fingers in them, you numskull!
Wilma Flintstone : Fred Flintstone!
[drops the bowling ball]
Fred Flintstone : Ow! You dropped that ball on my foot, you dimwit!
Wilma Flintstone : Fred! I won't have you calling me names! I went out with you to be a companion to you, but I won't stand for that stuff.
Fred Flintstone : [chuckles] I didn't mean anything, Wilma. It's just that when a guy's out with his buddy, he might call him names in fun.
Wilma Flintstone : That's the buddy system, huh?
Fred Flintstone : Yeah. Ah, some of the names I used to call Barney. Ha, ha! Oh, boy, but Barney never got mad.
Wilma Flintstone : Okay, I get the idea. You were going to teach me to bowl.
[pats Fred's stomach]
Wilma Flintstone : Okay, fat stuff.
Fred Flintstone : Fat stuff?
Wilma Flintstone : Don't get mad... buddy.

[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.

Fred Flintstone : Okay, now do like I told you. Try to let go of it this time. That's it! Let go of it!
[Wilma bowls]
Fred Flintstone : No! No!
Wilma Flintstone : Fred! I knocked all the pins down!
Fred Flintstone : [points to a man next to him] Yeah, you did, but on HIS alley. Now, watch closely and I'll show you how it's done.
[Fred bowls, but his ball also knocks down all the pins in the other man's alley]
Man : First game, huh?
