Quotes 

• [while watching Fred's home movies] 

  Barney Rubble : Now I know what they mean by a captive audience.

• Barney Rubble : Poor Fred. He's really flipped. He's even too far-gone for Home Movies Anonymous.

• [after grabbing a Whistlerock's Mother-in-law painting] 

  Fingers : That's the one. Uh, here you are, Boss.

  Boss : That's the one, all right. It's worth a fortune. Let's go, Fingers. We ain't got all day.

  Fingers : [looks at a Mona Lisa painting]  Duh, hey, Boss, how about this one? Uh, Da Vinci.

  Boss : Leave it. It'll never be worth anything.

• Fred Flintstone : Hey, Wilma, how about another tall, cold cactus juice?

  Wilma Flintstone : Right away, dear. Just as soon as I serve Betty some more cold slab.

  Betty Rubble : No, thanks. Not another bite. I've got to watch my figure.

  Barney Rubble : Well, don't worry, honey. I've been watching it and it's not bad at all.

• Wilma Flintstone : It's the truth, Betty, so help me.

  Betty Rubble : I still can't believe it. Fred out selling all his home movie equipment.

  Barney Rubble : How did you do it, Wilma? How did you get him to give up his hobby?

  Wilma Flintstone : Psychology, Barney. I simply told him that if he showed one more film, I'd hit him over the head with his movie camera.

• Police Officer : Now, don't take any chances, men. They could still be dangerous.

  [the police rush into Fred's home to apprehend the criminals] 

  Police Officer : Give up, you art thieves! We got you cornered! Huh?

  [the police find the crooks tied up on the couch and forced to watch Fred's home movies] 

  Fred Flintstone : And this is Pebbles when she was only two months old. Cootchie, cootchie, coo! Isn't she something, fellas?

  Boss : [whining]  Yeah, I've never seen anything like it.

  Fingers : Duh, yeah, you can say that again.

  Fred Flintstone : Look, look, look, there she is crawling up some...

  Police Officer : Say, what is this? A midnight matinee?

  Boss : The cops! Thank goodness!

  Police Officer : What did he say?

  Fingers : Oh, please take us away! Duh, no more home movies!

  Boss : We'll confess! We'll return the painting!

  Fingers : Yeah, put us in solitary! Give us bread and water! Anything!

  Boss : Just get us out of here! We're cracking up!

  Fred Flintstone : [still playing his home movies]  Just look at that, Pebbles is counting her fingers. One, two, three little fingers. Four, five.

  [the police take the art thieves away] 

  Boss : [sobbing]  Oh, thank goodness! Thank goodness you came for us!

  Police Officer : Take them away, boys, and be gentle. They've suffered enough already.
