This is it, Fred. The big day is finally here.
Yeah, the game starts in a few minutes.
(Barney) 'Uh, yeah, you got the phone turned off?'
All turned off.
The shades pulled down?
Shades down. We're all set.
[growling]
(Fred) 'Dino! Cut that out!'
I want absolute quiet around here for the next hour.
Go play outside.
[whimpering]
Okay, pal. We're all set.
Start the countdown.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Wilma!
Hey, Betty!
What's wrong, Fred?
Wilma, will you please get
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm outta here?
Uh, the kids are making an awful racket.
Come on, Betty. Let's humor them before they have a fit.
Now you don't understand, Wilma.
The football game is about to start.
All this fuss to watch football on TV.
Sure makes you wonder who the kids are around here.
Oh, but this ain't just any game.
It's for the championship.
Oh, never mind, Barney.
Let's just watch the game.
[upbeat music]
Hey, that's not the game.
It's one of them teenage shows.
I must have the wrong station.

Here, lemme try.

[upbeat music]
Gee, maybe there's something wrong with the tuner.
That's not the tuner that's out of whack.
It's the country.
What is with these kids?
[clicking]
(man on TV) 'Bedrock's TV game of the year has been postponed.'
Uh, there it is.
'We bring you this special program.'
- Postponed! - Postponed!
Today we are interviewing
the world's most famous teenage impresario
Mr. Eppy Brianstone.
From my boys, "The Termites"
and myself, hello out there.
They can't do this to us.
I'll write my congressman. We're missing the game.
Eppy, rumor has it that you're looking
for a new singing group. Is that correct?
Well, I'm not exactly looking
but I'm always willing to listen to good talent.
Talent he calls it. Ha ha ha ha.
'Have you any advice for teenagers'
'trying to make good in show business?'
Well, the first thing I'd say is, don't grow up.
Ha ha ha ha.
Oh, boy, I've heard enough.
Oh, there oughta be a law.
Who's running this country, the teenagers or us?
Well, looks like they are, Fred.
They're on every station.
Teenage stars. Big deal!
You know, I'm kinda glad
we got nice normal kids with no talent.
- We're lucky. - What's so lucky?
We also got a long dull Saturday with no football game.
Hey, uh, you wanna take a walk or something?
No. No, you go ahead, Barney.
I'll-I'll just stay here.
Okay, Fred. I'll go home and mow the lawn. Huh.
(Barney) 'I'll see you later.'
Barney's right.
Teenagers are taking over.
Us adults, haven't got a chance.
[snoring]

Uh, Wilma, turn off the radio, will you, dear.

Oh, Fred, don't be silly. Pebbles can't talk.
Well, that's what I thought
but-but they were singing real words.
Come on, Barney. Who are you kidding?
Alright, let's show 'em, pal.
Yeah. Let 'em see for themselves.
Laugh at us, huh, Wilma?
Well, listen to this.
Dada. Dada. Hi, dada.
Well, Fred.
You expect "Dada, dada," to make the top ten?
I'm telling you they were singing.
Weren't they, Barney?
Sure, just like a couple of canaries.
Hey, go on, Bamm-Bamm.
Sing for daddy.
Bamm-Bamm! Bamm-Bamm-Bamm!
(Barney) 'Hey, no, no, no, no, no, son.'
'Uh, I mean sing that song again.'
Bamm-Bamm! Bamm-Bamm!
Nice try, Barney.
Now, if you'll excuse us. Wilma and I are busy.
They, uh, didn't believe us, did they?
I, uh, don't think so, Fred.
Gee, you think, we imagined the whole thing.
Maybe we did.
But that don't sound like singing to me.
Bamm-Bamm-Bamm! Bamm!
What I don't understand, Barn
is how can you hear what I imagined?
It beats me, Fred.
Maybe we're both having hallucinations.
I think you both have been working too hard.
[doorbell ringing]
Now, who can that be?
(Wilma) 'I'll get it, Fred.'
- Yes. - Pardon the intrusion.
But, may I use your phone.
Sure. The phone's over there.
Hey, Barney, Barney.
That, that-that's the guy
we saw on, on-on the TV.
Oh, yeah. Uh-uh-uh, Eppy Brianstone.
The teenage impresario.
Having a bit of trouble with my car.
Hope you don't mind.
My pleasure, Mr. Brianstone.
And I wanna tell you, there will not be any charge
for using my phone.
Oh, uh, thank you, sir.

[cheering]
How did it go at work today, Fred.
Terrible.
I must have got a 100 phone calls
about Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm
from reporters and magazine writers.
Yeah, me too.
It'll be a pleasure to get home.
Yeah. Ha ha. Where it's nice and quiet.
Thanks, Barn. See you after dinner.
Right, Fred.
Boy, what a week.
I didn't know it was gonna be like this.
[cheering]
Oh, there he is.
He's the father of Pebbles Flintstone.
Huh?
- 'Get his autograph .' - 'Get a souvenir.'
'Grab his tie.'
Yikes!
- 'Hold it!' - Huh!
(male #2) 'Ah, it's only the father.'
Let's grab some shots of the kids
getting ready for a nap.
Hey, what is this? What's going on?
(Wilma) 'Oh, hello, Fred.'
The kids are gonna be on the cover
of Today's Teens and Better Babies.
'Isn't it exciting?'
I'd be more excited about something to eat.
What's for dinner?
You must be kidding.
Who's got time to cook?
'Can you grab a sandwich down at the bowling alley.'
Bowling alley?
And take Barney with you, will you, Fred?
Now, just a cotton pickin' minute.
I want to talk to you, Wilma.
I'm sorry, Fred. I haven't got time.
Betty and I still have to pack.
Pack! What for?
'We're going to New Rock in the morning.'
(Betty) 'The kids are going to appear on the "Johnny Rockson Show."'
(Wilma) Don't forget to turn on your TV.
And tell Barney about it too.
Now, just a minute, Wilma.
I know my rights, and I got a right to expect dinner
when I get home. And further more..
[knocking on door]
What do you want?
Is this where the whizz kids live.
Oh, hello, professor.
I'll have the children ready in a minute.
Who is that that guy?
That's Professor Froidstone.
He's going to find out why Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm
sing like they do.
Oh, yeah? And what about me?
Sorry. You're too old.
Ugh!
And now let us make the experiments begin.
Hmm, they seem like nice, normal healthy children.
I think first we will do a flexes testing.
Just relax the knee, little fellow.
Youch!
Unbelievable!
A regular superstone.
And now we test the vocal cords.
All together now.
Say, "Ah."
(both) Ah!
Ach! That's beautiful.
'And now, I have the answer.'
Well, what is it?
A simple case of mass media, transactional hypnosis.
(Fred) 'Huh? What does that mean?'
It comes from watching TV.
But, professor, they're only babies.
(Froidstone) 'Exactly.'
And because they are
no one ever told them
they are too young to do what they are doing.
So they do it.
'Simple, isn't it?'
Yes, very.
Isn't it, Fred?
Oh, boy.
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm looked good on TV
last night, uh, Fred?
Yeah.
Looked like Pebbles is getting a new tooth.
I sure miss her.
Ha ha. And you missed the ball too.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Huh? Oh, boy, is my game off today.
Hey, uh, Fred, just between you and me, uh
do you like it now that our kids are celebrities.
'Are you kidding?'
We got it made.
Plenty of time to do what we please.
No wives or kids around the house makin' a racket.
And we can bowl all night or sleep all day.
Right. We're the envy of all the guys at the lodge.
Yeah, we got it made, alright.
But, uh, there's one thing I can't figure out.
What's that, Barney?
How come we're so miserable?
Ha ha. You missed the ball again, Fred. Ha ha ha.
Yeah.
Oh, let's face it. I miss Wilma, and Pebbles too.
And I miss Betty and Bamm-Bamm.
[sighing] Ah-oh.
Hey, Fred, they're here.
Our families are home.
At last.
Let 'em in, Barney, let 'em in.
- 'Hiya, Wilma.' - Fred.
Oh, it's so good to see you.
- Hiya, Betty. - Barney!
Ooh, wait till you hear our news!
Gee, you were gone a whole week, sweetheart.
Uh, where's Pebbles?
She's having her hair done.
Uh, where's Bamm-Bamm?
He's having his hair done.
Oh, there you are, chappies.
Will you, please, sign this contract?
Uh, yeah, sure. But what's this for?
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are going to make a film.
(Betty) 'That's the big news, Barney.'
'Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm are going to make a film.'
Isn't it thrilling?
Right after they sing at the Hollyrock Palace tonight
we leave for Eurock.
- Eurock? - But you just got home.
We had to pick up some more clothes for the kids.
Hurry up, girls. We got a busy schedule.
- Bye, Fred. - Bye, Barney.
We'll write as soon as we can.
Now, just a doggone minute!
Pebbles is not going to Eurock.
I absolutely forbid it!
And further more, I am getting fed up with this whole thing.
- Now, I'm-- - Too late, Fred.
- They're gone. - Huh?
Well, that does it. Now we're gonna do something.
Well, what can we do?
Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm belong to the world now.
Well, we'll just have to owe the world a couple of kids, Barn.
We're taking ours back.

'Now, remember, I snatch and you drive.'
Hey, I got a better idea.
You drive and I run.
Oh, don't lose your nerve, Barn.
I'll be right out.
Nice show, kids.
Is all their gear packed?
Yes, sir. All gear packed.
Thanks, operator.
No answer at your house either, Betty.
The boys aren't home.
Oh, Mr. Brianstone, we just got to wait
until we have chance to talk to our husbands.
Sorry, girls. We have a plane to catch, you know.
Just a second, pal. Those kids aren't going nowhere.
I beg your pardon.
Finch Themquickly is the name.
Department of Education.
Have those kids been to school today?
At two years of age, of course not.
Wilma, there's something familiar about that man.
I noticed the same thing.
I say now. Where do you think you're going.
Uh, taking these kids to the detention home
and, uh, detent them.
Bamm-Bamm.
Pe-Pebbles, Pebbles, no!
Da-dada-da.
Wilma, it's Fred.
What in the world is he up to?
Uh, pardon me, I'm late for school.
Hey, come back here with my act.
(Eppy) 'We've got a contract you know.'
(Fred) Let's go, Barney.
Fred, what are you doing?
Look, Barney's with him.
Get going, pal. Let's get out of here.
Into my car. Quick. We'll try to catch them.
They're right behind us, Fred.
We gotta lose 'em. Faster, Barney, faster.
Stop, Flintstone. I'll sue you for every cent you have.
You'll have to catch me first.
Barney, look out.
Hey-hey, you. Get out of the way.
(Barney) 'Uh, pull over to one side.'
Egad! Come on, Elizabeth. Move.
Ooh, here comes another one.
Jump!
Um, they couldn't be Sunday drivers
today is only Tuesday.
They're gaining on us, Fred.
I can't lose 'em.
You gotta shake 'em. Keep going.
[sirens wailing]
Uh-oh, we got company.
Uh, maybe I can lose 'em in the clover leaves.
Step on it.
Attaboy, Barn. You really got 'em confused.
They ain't the only ones who's confused.
(Barney) 'Which way do we go?'
(Fred) 'Uh, right, right.'
'Ooh, let's get off of this thing.'
I'm getting dizzy.
- But, how do we get off? - I don't know.
Oh, hey, there's a sign that says "O-ne way."
'That's one way, Barney. Look out.'
[tires screeching]
That was close.
But we gave 'em the slip.
Where do we go now, Fred?
Gee, I didn't think about that.
We can't go home, that's the first place they'll look.
But we haven't got any baby food or diapers or nothin'.
Are you chickenin' out, Barn?
No, no, I was just thinkin'.
And look, Fred. A roadblock.
It's no use, Fred. We haven't got a chance.
Well, they're not gonna take Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm
away from us.
Fred, just what do you think you're doing?
Alright, buddy. Hand over those kids.
Nothin' doin'. You can't have 'em.
Let me go. Let me go.
I won't give up the kids, I won't.
You can't have 'em. Let me go. Let me go.

Uh-uh, ah-ah.
Uh-uh, Wilma, what, uh-uh-uh..
What-What happened?
You must have fallen asleep, Fred.
Yeah. Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I guess I did.
Look, Fred. Isn't it cute?
I bought it for Pebbles.
What is it?
A dancing costume, silly.
For Pebbles. When she starts taking dancing lessons.
Who knows. She maybe another Shirley Dimple.
Oh, no, absolutely not!
No career for Pebbles.
I'm not going through that again.
What are you talking about? Going through what again?
Oh, Wilma, I had the worst dream.
Pebbles became a famous singing star
and I was miserable.
Oh, boy, I am glad it was only a dream.
'Oh, poor dear.'
'But I have something that will make you feel better.'
