Fred Flintstone : [while driving the school bus] Oh, boy. Barney, give me that speech again about being responsible for the future presidents and like that. Barney?

Wilma Flintstone : But I thought Mr. Granite was gonna offer you a new job.
Fred Flintstone : Oh, he did, he did. With a big fat cut in my paycheck!
Wilma Flintstone : Oh, Fred, no! So what did you say to Mr. Granite?
Fred Flintstone : I kept my temper. I didn't want to say anything I'd be sorry for. I took a long deep breath, counted to ten slowly, and then, kind of casual like, I said, "Granite, it's time we had a man-to-mouse talk. You're so cheap, you look over the top of your glasses to keep from wearing them out. You're so stingy that if your wife got hiccups, you'd rent her out to a glass blower. In brief, Mr. Granite, you are nothing but a short, bald, disagreeable old slave-driving sourpuss."
[knocks Barney down]
Barney Rubble : That's telling me, Fred.
Wilma Flintstone : You didn't say that.
Fred Flintstone : Are you kidding? I certainly did.
Wilma Flintstone : And what did he say to you?
Fred Flintstone : Nothing.
Wilma Flintstone : Nothing?
Fred Flintstone : Nope. When I was taking that first long deep breath and counting to ten slowly, the little sneak left the office!
