Betty Rubble : Oh, hmm, so you said.
Barney Rubble : Yeah, I... I did? When?
Betty Rubble : I mean, does she?
Barney Rubble : Yeah. Uh, uh, does she what?
Betty Rubble : Remind you of my mother?
Barney Rubble : Didn't I say so?
Betty Rubble : [mimics Barney] ''What a battleaxe she is. Right, Freddy?''
Betty Rubble : Oh, honey, you hadn't ought to talk that way about your own mother.

Fred Flintstone : Now remember, Betty. You get the phony money and bring it right back to me.
Betty Rubble : Gee, I'm a little nervous.
Barney Rubble : Oh, you got nothing to worry about, hon. Me and Fred will be right here all the time. Right, Fred?

Betty Rubble : [about the rocking chair] Like it, Barney?
Barney Rubble : Great.
[laughs]
Barney Rubble : I look like Rock Whistler's mother. Right, Fred?
Fred Flintstone : More like his grandfather.
[Fred and Wilma laughs]
Wilma Flintston : But how did you get it, Betty? You haven't saved up enough yet and there wasn't any reward.
Betty Rubble : Remember the $20 the crooks gave me? Well, that was real and it was just enough so I could buy the chair. But I'm through answering want ads.
Barney Rubble : [chuckles] That's a relief.
Betty Rubble : Now I'm going to write a book.
[Shocked, Barney falls out of his chair]
Barney Rubble : Y-Y-You're gonna write a book?

Betty Rubble : [using an old lady's voice] That's very nice of you to say that.
Barney Rubble : [laughs] What an old battleaxe she is. Right, Freddy?
Fred Flintstone : [chuckles] You ain't kidding!

Fred Flintstone : Oh, boy!

[after hearing the news about the counterfeit money, Fred and Barney find their wives crying outside]
Barney Rubble : I knew it. Something's going on and I want to know what it is.
Fred Flintstone : Hold it! Let me handle this. Now, girls, whatever it is, uh, uh, what is it?
[Wilma and Betty cry harder]
Barney Rubble : [sarcastically] Oh, swell. You handled it just great, Freddy boy.
Fred Flintstone : One more crack out of you, Barney, and there'll be a new moon shot tonight.
