Quotes 

• Fred Flintstone : I don't mind showering in the sink as long as no one turns on the garbage disposal.

• Dr. Sliprock : My, what a cute little boy.

  [pulls out a lollipop] 

  Dr. Sliprock : Would you like a little lollipop from Docky Wocky?

  Fred Flintstone : [pushes the lollipop away]  I'm gonna POP you if you don't knock off that Docky Wocky stuff! I am a grown man! I... I mean, I'm a man who isn't grown up anymore.

• Betty Rubble : [enters her home]  Hi, Barney.

  Barney Rubble : Hiya, Betty.

  Betty Rubble : [walks past the shrunken Fred]  Oh, hello, Fred. Lost a little weight, haven't you?

  [Betty is shocked after noticing Fred's tiny size] 

  Betty Rubble : Fred!

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, I did it again, Betty. I invented a reducing formula and this is what happened. I gotta get back to size. 'Til I do, don't tell Wilma. I gotta get to a doctor.

  Barney Rubble : [picks up Fred]  Now, now, don't worry, Fred. I'll drive you over to one.

  Fred Flintstone : Oh, thanks, Barn. You're a real pal.

  Barney Rubble : Hey, I better carry you. Someone might step on you or something.

• [Ed Sullystone is convinced by Fred and Barney's ventriloquist act] 

  Ed Sullystone : Remarkable. He does it while drinking water.

  [looks at Fred] 

  Ed Sullystone : And you certainly have a goofy looking dummy. That's very important.

  Fred Flintstone : Now just a rock-picking minute!

  [leaps toward Sullystone] 

  Fred Flintstone : You're no picture postcard yourself, you know!

  Ed Sullystone : Say, that's pretty good. Real convincing and dumb looking, too.

  Fred Flintstone : Boy, are you looking for a fat lip!

  Barney Rubble : Uh, easy, Fred. Remember the act.

  Fred Flintstone : Nobody talks to me like that!

  [scoffs] 

  Fred Flintstone : Give a guy a TV show, he thinks he owns the world!

• Fred Flintstone : [about Barney]  Oh, boy. Why do I have to have a comedian for a neighbor?

• Nurse : May I help you, sir?

  Barney Rubble : Uh, yes, Nurse. I, uh...

  Nurse : [notices the tiny Fred]  Oh, what a cute little boy!

  [tickles him] 

  Nurse : Coochie, coochie, coochie coo!

  Fred Flintstone : I'm not a cute little BOY! I'm a cute little MAN!

  Nurse : You mean he's a man?

  Barney Rubble : Yep. Just a new compact type.

• [the shrunken Fred enters his home] 

  Fred Flintstone : Uh, hello, Wilma.

  Wilma Flintstone : [walks by with dishes]  Oh, hi, Fred.

  Fred Flintstone : Well, that was easy.

  [the dishes are heard shattering] 

  Wilma Flintstone : Aaaaah! Fred! What have you done to yourself?

  Fred Flintstone : Now, now, now, don't panic, Wilma. I can explain. It's that reducing drink I invented. It reduced me. I'm sorry, Wilma. I guess I'm just a dope.

  Wilma Flintstone : Oh, don't belittle yourself.

  Fred Flintstone : Don't say that word!

  Wilma Flintstone : I guess we have to just learn to live with little things like this.

  Fred Flintstone : There she goes again.
