• [Fred is showing his home movies] 

  Fred Flintstone : That's Pebbles waving hello. Isn't she cute? Now she's waving goodbye. Now here's another shot waving hello. Here's another shot waving goodbye. Here's a real close-up waving hello.

  Wilma Flintstone : Hello, goodbye, hello, goodbye. I don't know whether I'm coming or going.

  Betty Rubble : Yeah, all those waves are making me seasick.

• Fred Flintstone : Hiya, folks. We're back.

  Wilma Flintstone : Fred. Did you get a good deal on your movie equipment?

  Fred Flintstone : I'll say. I traded it in for this.

  [Fred pulls out a recorder] 

  Betty Rubble : A tape recorder!

  Fred Flintstone : Right, just listen to this.

  [Fred plays the recorder] 

  Pebbles Flintstone : [on the recorder]  Goo, goo, gaga, gagy, goo, goo.

  Fred Flintstone : I recorded that when Pebbles and I were in the store. Here's what she said on the way home.

  [Fred continues the recording] 

  Pebbles Flintstone : [on the recorder]  Goo, goo, gaga, gagy, goo, goo.

  Fred Flintstone : And that's only the beginning. Into the microphone, sweetheart.

  Pebbles Flintstone : Goo, goo, gaga, gagy, goo, goo.

  Betty Rubble : Don't worry, Wilma. It'll pass... I hope.

• 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.

• 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.
