[the adults argue at once]

Pebbles: ENOUGH! [breaks the catcus juicer on the floor in pieces] I've had it with ALL OF YOU! The only thing Bamm-Bamm and I want is to be happy! And you're making us miserable!

Fred: But, Pebbles, this is for your own good!

Pebbles: You call this GOOD?! A wedding supposed to be spark, and everyone's turing into a big mess!

Bamm-Bamm: Don't worry, honey. We'll get married tomorrow. Even we have to eloped to... ROCK VEGAS!

Betty: [walks along with Barney] I'm right behind you, Dear.

Fred: Can you believe of that neighbor Rubble? He acts that he hasn't done a thing.

Wilma: [holds a spoon] Everything's YOUR fault, Fred! The Nest Egg! [stomps on Fred's foot] The Wedding! [punches Fred's stomach with the spoon] And Rock Vegas! [bangs Fred's head with the spoon]
