Yabba-Dabba-Doo!(taglines)

Fred Flintstone[edit]

  • Afraid? Now let's get this straight Rubble. I don't need permission from my wife. In my cave, I reign supreme. SUPREME! [Barney promises not to tell Wilma] Thanks, pal!
  • [Barney asks him what to call him now] Simply your highness will do.
  • [Miss Stone asks him how he'd like his coffee] Uhh, in a cup.
  • Mr. Slate, I don't think you hired me just to sit here and look pretty, [he picks up a model house] I hate to burst your bubble, but if you build houses this small, whose going to live in them?
  • Fred is the greatest bowler on Earth! [The dictabird repeats what he says] Okay, now you talk and see how much I can remember.
  • [Wilma tells him his secretary is very attractive] Really? I didn't notice. Did I mention she could chisel 18 words a minute?
  • [Dino takes a steak from the grill] Hey Barn, you like your steak rare, right? Well, that one's yours.
  • [Pearl asks him if he's lost weight] Have we met?
  • [repeated line] Yabba-dabba-doo!

Barney Rubble[edit]

  • [The adoption agent shows them a monkey] Well, he's not really what we expected, but we'll love him like he was our own.
  • Someday, I'll pay him back! Someday, somehow.
  • Come on, say "Dadda"! (Bamm-Bamm just keeps saying his own name)
  • [to Fred about getting a job as a vice president] That does it! The only reason you got that job is 'cause I switched tests with you.
  • Can I have everyone's attention, please? (Caveman: I hope it's not another poem)
  • (An angry mob about to hang Fred asks him if he knows him) Well, he used to be my best friend. In fact, it's probably because of me that you all are in this mess. (Mob leader: Hang them both.)
  • [Fred says he's only one man] Not from the back.
  • [After Fred needs a couple of Bucks] NOT THIS TIME!!! (Chases him)

Wilma Flintstone[edit]

  • Fred! And promise me you won't say anything like you did when you saw my sister's baby.
  • [Fred says she's the most beautiful girl in Bedrock after she catches him cheating on her with Miss Stone] Nice try, Fred.
  • [Miss Stone tells her she's heard so much about her] Well I wish that I could say the same.

Betty Rubble[edit]

  • You know, Barney, life is funny. One minute people are your best friends, and the next you're fantasizing they're being ripped apart by a pack of rabid wolves.
  • One day, we'll look back on this and laugh.

Cliff Vandercave[edit]

  • I have vision, and right now I have a vision of you and me dripping with coconut oil on a beach in Rockapulco with Mr. Slate's fortune to keep us company.
  • Son of a Brachiosaurus!
  • Oh, this is far from over.

Miss Sharon Stone[edit]

  • [Cliff asks her why the quarry workers are down there and he's up here] Because you lied on your resume.
  • Believe it not, the one who scored the highest was Fred Flintstone. [Cliff goes on about how dumb he is] He is perfect!
  • Mr. Flintstone, I'd like you to know that I enjoy working long hours, late nights, even weekends, so feel free to use me however you see fit.
  • Mr. Flintstone, I've been a bad girl, but you've got to admit, I was very, very good at it.

Dialogue[edit]

[A long time ago.....in the prehistoric Stone Age...in a prehistoric valley...past a prehistoric mountain...is a prehistoric town. Bedrock]
[Bedrock has an airport. Pterodactyl planes take off every hour on the hour. It has a drive-in movie theater. Tar Wars is playing. Bedrock has a RocDonald's fast-food restaurant, stores and offices. It even has a rock quarry, Slate and Co., where workers make houses from stone]
[At the rock quarry, Cliff Vandercave is looking down at the workers from his high-rise office. As he watches, the workers use axes and hammers to hollow out a giant boulder. Then they cut out windows and a door. Eventually, they heave a heavy roof into place. The workers sweat and strain......and at last. A full stone-age is done. But Cliff is not impressed. He is laughing at all their hard work]
Cliff: Look at these foolish worms, working their lives apart. [He is a vice president at Slate and Co. Construction. He has a tan, an expensive suit and grin that is 100 percent phony. And he never works hard] Do you know why I'm up here and they're down there, Miss Stone?
[Miss Stone, his secretary, is pretty and smart. She grins at Cliff]
Miss Stone: Because you lied on your job application?
Cliff: No...because I have a vision. I see facts. Right now I see you and me skipping town with Mr. Slate's money. And somewhere down there----- [He points to the quarry workers] is the foolish slob who will make it all come true.
[Down in the quarry, Fred Flintstone is working his bronto-crane. He pulls one lever. The brontosaurus bites into a heavy boulder and lifts it off the ground. Fred pulls another lever. Boom! The brontosaurus drops the boulder in a separate spot]
[Fred sighs. He tugs at his turtle-shell hard-hat. He is tired of working. Will this day ever end?]
[Just then, the construction foreman pulls the Whistlebird's tail]
Whistlebird: WOOHHHH!!!! [Fred is done for the day]
Fred: Yabba-dabba-doooooOOOO!!!!
[Fred flies off the brontosaurus––right into his stone-age car. He puts his two feet on the ground and begins to walk. Left foot, right foot. Left foot, right foot. Faster and faster. The car is picking up speed. Fred can't wait to get home]
[Fred drives to the quarry gate. Then he puts his stone time card up to the stegosaurus time clock. The stegosaurus opens its mouth wide. Crunch! Fred is punched out. And just in time to pick up Barney Rubble, his best friend and next-door neighbor]
Barney: Hey, Fred. I need to warn you. I'm so emotional! I'm going to be a father. I yet can't believe it. Imagine! Betty and me adopting a son. A son named Bamm-Bamm! We owe it all to you, Fred. You gave us the money to make it possible. And I want the world to know it!
[Fred frowns]
Fred: Now, Barney. Remember. Me giving you that money? That's just between us. Seeing your happiness is enough for me!
[Barney nods. He understands. Fred is afraid to warn his wife]

Miss Stone: [enters Fred's office] Uhhm! Am I interrupting?
Cliff: Not at all. Fred, I'd like you to meet Miss Sharon Stone. She's going to be your secretary
Fred: My secretary?
Miss Stone: Personal secretary, Mr. Flintstone, that is of course, if you want me.
[Fred's tie rolls up to his chin]
Cliff: Well, then, I the two of you could get better acquainted. [closes the doors]

Fred: You know Miss Stone, I've been signing stacks of these things for weeks now, and I hate to pry, but, what are they?
Miss Stone: Oh, just tiny little forms so that we can pay the contractors working on the modernization.
Fred: You know, (Miss Stone gets annoyed) we remodeled our kitchen a couple of years ago, and let me tell you, contractors can be real pirates. I'm going to read these over.
Miss Stone: [pushes them aside, slides onto his desk] No! You're much too busy for that, Mr. Flintstone, and besides, reading is my job. You wouldn't want to put poor little old me out of work now, would you?
[Wilma and Pebbles walk in the room]
Fred: No.
[Miss Stone turns over, revealing her sexy body to Fred and seductively rubs his cheek]
Dictabird: Um, eh, your wife. Your, your wife.
Fred: [while still flirting] My wife? Wilma? [notices Wilma] Wilma! What a surprise!
