swoosh
This is uncanny.
Every time we wanna go on a ride
everybody else gets the same idea.
Boy, they sure do a great business here.
I wouldn't mind owning this carnival myself.
[chuckles] Yeah, Fred, uh
this might be just the place to invest
the newly acquired Flintstone fortune.
Hey, you're laughing, Barney
but I really would like to buy this carnival.
Mr. Flintstone, I accept this as a firm offer.
Huh? Bu-b-b..
Buster, you just bought yourself a carnival.
B-b-but I-I don't have that kind of money!
Now, this is all I have.
Fine. I'll take it as a down payment.
You sign here.
'Oh, you drive a hard bargain, Flintstone.'
Uh-oh, I almost forgot..
Here.
The hat's part of the deal.

Morning, Mrs. Flintstone.
Oh, good morning, Mr. Marble.
Any mail for us today?
The usual.
Bills, bills, bills. Ha-ha ha!
In that case, I'm not interested.
Give the mail to the lord of the X-checker.
Why, he was here a minute ago, mowing the lawn.
Oh, there he is.
'In the hammock, resting his eyes.'
[snoring]
(Wilma) How do you like that?
The three snoozers. Fred, Dino and Mow.
- Mow? - That's short for lawnmower.
Oh! Ha-ha!
[whistle]
Ah? Yeah-yeah?
Oh, oh, oh.
- H-hello, Mr. Marble. - Bow bow bow.
Quiet, Dino.
Anything for me today?
Yeah, I have a couple for you.
[barks]
Hey, down, boy! Down!
This mail isn't for you.
Give it to him, Mr. Marble.
I have him trained.
[barks]
Okay. If you say so.
Here, boy.
(Fred) 'Alright, Dino. bring it here.'
Na-ah, na-ah.
I thought you had him trained.
Dino, I said, bring it here!
Uh-huh.
- Nice boy, give daddy the mail. - Uh-uh!
Come back here, you dim-witted dinosaur!
screech
Huh? Oh, so he wants to play games, huh?
His brain against mine.
[chuckles] I'll show him.
Oh, Dino!
- Huh? - Got you!
thud
[Dino laughs]
screech
Okay, wise guy, where's the mail?
Ah-ha! You buried it.
screech screech screech
Say, that's quite a trick, Mr. Flintstone.
When did Dino teach you that?
Very funny, very funny.
[laughs]
clip clip clip
Ouch! I hate these tough shrubs.
But they are kinda tasty.
(Fred) Wilma! Wilma. Hey, Wilma, look, look!
Shh! Fred, quiet. You'll wake Pebbles.
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Look what came in the mail.
It's a refund on my income tax.
A check for $37.50!
Thirty seven dollars and fifty cents?
- Yippee! - Shh!
Huh?
[wailing]
Now, look what you've made me do.
It's alright, Pebbles. Look what daddy got.
[crying]
It's a check!
Goo. Goo-ga.
Oh, boy, they sure learn young.
I gotta hand it to you, Fred, it's not easy
to get a refund from the government these days.
- You're right, Barney. - You gotta be pretty smart.
- Know all the ins and outs. - 'You said it!'
- How'd you get yours, Fred? - I, uh..
Made a mistake addin' up my tax.
Oh? Uh, have you decided what you're gonna do
with this windfall, Fred?
I mean, uh, where are you gonna stick it?
'In a bank or maybe invest it?'
Oh, boy, you're as bad a Wilma
with those nutty suggestions.
It's my refund, I worked hard for it.
'And I'm gonna decide what to do with it.'
Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, Fred.
[laughing]
Everybody tryin' to tell me what to do with my dough.
[instrumental music]
What's that?
'"Rollem & Clippem Carnival."'
Oh, boy!
A carnival's comin' to town.
Yeah. "Fifty famous acts."
Hey, that's really somethin'.
Hey, hey, look!
'The sideshow acts.'
Hey, Fred, get a load of that guy.
- Yeah. - What are you starin' at?
You never seen a guy in a tuxedo before?
Barney, I just got an idea
of what to do with my refund check.
I'll take the family to the carnival!
Hey, that's a great idea, Fred.
I'd take my gang too, but, uh
I'm a little short this week.
(Fred) 'Why, you've always been short'
'my compact pal.'
Oh, no, Fred, I mean I'm suffering
from financial anemia.
Well, don't give it a second thought, Barney boy
I'm inviting you and your family
to come along as my guests.
Yeah? Oh, gosh, that's mighty swell of you, Fred.
As soon as I finish with this painting
I'll-I'll tell Betty the good news, okay?
(Fred) Yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah, you do that.
Hey, by the way, what is that you're painting?
- This. - "Wet paint." Where is it?
On that chair you're sitting in.
- Huh? - Hee-hee-hee!
Oh, boy.
Hey, Mrs. Rollem, is your husband in?
We wanna talk to him.
He's in the wagon takin' his mornin' nap.
Come on out, Rollem, we want our money!
We haven't been paid in over a month!
Yeah, and if we don't get our money, we quit!
- Right? - Right.
Friends, loyal employees
please, you'll get your money.
(all) 'Oh, yeah? When?'
As soon as I get it from the customers.
Uh, now, you know, nobody wants to come to a carnival
when there aren't any people around.
So I want you all to spread out
and make it look like a crowd.
'Uh, pretend you're customers.'
Okay, but if we don't get our money
by tonight, we're quitting.
Yeah, or we'll go on a hunger strike.
You do it your way, I'll do it mine.
Who are you tryin' to kid, Stanley?
You know you can't pay them.
Will you let me run my own business?
And you know how I hate to see you bent over
a hot washtub like that.
'Can't you do it someplace else'
'where I can't see you?'
Oh, sorry, your highness!
Boy, am I sick of this racket.
If I could only sell and get out from under.
(Mrs. Rollem) 'Are you kidding?'
No one'd be crazy enough to buy
this broken-down carnival.
(Mr. Rollem) 'Oh, you'd be surprised, Gwendolyn.'
This is a big world and somewhere in it
there's a patsy just made to order for me.
And for all we know
he maybe on his way here right now.
Oh-oh, boy! I just love a carnival.
Makes me feel like a kid again.
Hee-hee-hee! Me, too.
When I was little I told my mother
I was gonna run away and join a carnival.
Yeah, what did she say?
She said, "You don't have to run
I'll drive you."
[both laugh]
Oh, Barney, you always tell that story
and I don't think it's a bit funny.
Well, you-you see that, Fred?
My own wife doesn't appreciate my sense of humor.
Now remember, folks, when we get to the carnival
everything is on me.
And you better remember what happened
last time you went to the carnival, Fred.
You gave the man a ten dollar bill
and he only gave you change for a five.
Well, don't worry about me, Wilma.
They can't fool old Freddy Flintstone twice.
Get your tickets here, folks.
Hey, uh, at least let me buy
the tickets to get in, huh, Fred?
Nothin' doin', Barn.
Besides, I gotta break this ten spot anyway.
Uh, four tickets? Yeah, that'll be two dollars.
There are your tickets, and there's your change.
Three, four, five.
Hey, come on, Fred, let's go.
(Fred) 'Be right with you, Barn.'
Three, four, five.
Hey, hey, mister, I think you made a mistake.
- I made a mistake? - Yeah.
I gave you a ten and you only gave me change for a five.
Now, how could that have happened?
Oh, I'm sorry. Here, give me the money.
- Um. - Thank you.
You're welcome.
Oh, boy, Gwendolyn.
- Gwendolyn, Gwendolyn! - What do you want now?
- He's here, he's here! - Who's here?
My patsy. The guy we're gonna unload this carnival on.
- 'Aren't you happy?' - I don't know.
I kinda hate to leave show business.
Fred, my feet are killing me.
We've been waiting in this line over an hour.
Honey, can I help it if they're doin' such a good business?
Okay, folks, fasten your seatbelts.
Hang on everybody, this ride is a real thriller.
Oh, I'm scared already.
Ha-ha! Listen to them, Barney.
Now, Wilma, there's nothin' to be scared of.
Right, Betty, you're safe in my arms.
Here we go.
Wow! Are we up high!
(Barney) 'What a view!'
[screaming]
Relax, Barney, you're safe in my arms.
Yes, Fred, there's nothing to be afraid of.
H-hey g-g-golly, B-Barn
now look where we are!
'This must be the worlds longest ride!'
(Barney) 'Oh, you're tellin' me.'
[gulps]
'Uh, n-now how do we get down?'
(Fred) 'Uh, hey! Watch it!'
(Betty) 'Wee!'
Oh, that was fun.
Fred, are you alright?
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm..
I'm havin' a ball.
How about all of us having a bronto burger?
- Betty, please. - Ooh, look.
Let's go on the merry-go-round. There's no line there.
(Wilma) 'Okay, let's hurry.'
Oh, dear, every time we wanna go on a ride, it's crowded.
Hey, look, the Ferris wheel's empty.
'Let's go on that.'
The Ferris wheel, the Ferris wheel.
swoosh
This is uncanny.
Every time we wanna go on a ride
everybody else get's the same idea.
Boy, they sure do a great business here.
I wouldn't mind owning this carnival myself.
[chuckles] Yeah, Fred, uh
this might be just the place to invest
the newly acquired Flintstone fortune.
Hey, you're laughing, Barney
but I really would like to buy this carnival.
Mr. Flintstone, I accept this as a firm offer.
Huh? Bu-b-b..
Buster, you just bought yourself a carnival.
B-b-but I-I don't have that kind of money!
- Now, this is all I have. - Fine.
I'll take it as a down payment. You sign here.
'Oh, you drive a hard bargain, Flintstone.'
Uh, oh, I almost forgot..
Here. The hat's part of the deal.
Strange, Fred, now that you own the carnival
the rides aren't crowded anymore.
Oh, yeah, the Ferris wheel's empty too.
- 'And it's staying empty.' - 'Never mind that.'
Let's take a look at my carnival
and remember, everything is on the house.
[drum beating]
Ladies and gentlemen.
May I have your attention, please?
- What's this, Fred? - I don't know, Wilma.
I'm new here, too.
May I call your attention to this 400 foot ladder?
- Ooh! - Oh, yeah!
(male #1) 'And you will see a death defying feat'
'performed right before your very eyes.'
Daredevil, Rocky Rockhead, will do a triple summersault
from the top of the ladder and land on this pile of rocks.
- 'Ooh!' - 'Oh, yeah!'
Oh, boy, Fred, you couldn't get me
to climb that ladder for a million bucks.
I suffer from, uh, height, uh
height, uh, heightrophobia.
It sure looks dangerous.
I'll give him a raise, if he lives.
[drum roll]
clang
boing boing
He made it!
Anybody got something for a headache?
[drum beating]
Ladies and gentlemen.
May I present to you "The Great Herculo."
Strongest man in the world.
- 'Ooh!' - 'Oh, yeah!'
- 'Look at those muscles!' - Isn't he magnificent?
Oh, I don't know.
[babbles]
Bamm-Bamm, come back here.
Hey, put that down.
Bamm-Bamm, bamm, bamm, bamm.
Yeeooow! Ooh, ow!
Hey, scram, kid. You're too dangerous.
Yeah, Bamm-Bamm's the world's strongest kid.
Now, be a good boy, Bamm-Bamm, and watch the show.
(male #2) And now, ladies and gentlemen
The Great Herculo, will lift six people
on a baby grand piano..
[drum roll]
[grunting]
- 'Ooh!' - 'Wow!'
...while playing a piano duet
with one hand.
[piano music]
- 'Ooh!' - 'Wow!'
Isn't it marvelous?
It's okay, if you like that long hair stuff.
[sighs] Dear, this has been a day.
Imagine, Fred Flintstone a carnival tycoon.
Yeah, and I hope you'll make a million with it, Fred.
I intend to, Barney.
I have big plans for this carnival.
It's a regular goldmine.
If it's such a goldmine, Fred, I don't understand
why Mr. Rollem let you have it so cheap.
Relax, Wilma, you're looking at
a shrewd business man. I'm gonna make a fortune with--
(male #3) 'Come on out, Flintstone, we want our money.'
- What's that? - You heard us, Flintstone?
- We want our money! - And we want it now!
I don't understand what you're talkin' about.
- What money? - Our salaries.
We haven't been paid in six weeks!
And if we don't get our money we're quitting.
Yeah, and that goes for all of us.
Me, the strong man
'Rover, the dog-faced boy.'
Yeah, we're all quitting.
- Right, Rover? Speak. - Ruf!
Uh, I mean, uh, yeah, you-you darn tootin'.
Now, wait a minute.
When you bought the assets of this carnival
you also got the liabilities.
- That means us. - But-but-but..
- But I haven't any money! - Then we're walkin' out!
Come on, everybody.
Please, Madam Rocksand, won't you reconsider?
I can't run a carnival without any acts.
Sorry, Flintstone, I'd like to stay.
But I don't see any future in it.
Listen, Gummo, what's a sideshow without a rubber man?
Can't you stay for a while?
Sorry, Flintstone, if you don't have my dough
I'll just bounce over to another sideshow.
So long, pal.
boing boing boing
Uh-oh.
Forgot my bag!
Now, Flintstone, I'd like to help you out.
But a man can't live on promises.
After all, a woman needs some security.
I'm not getting any younger, you know?
I've already taken two salary cuts.
Why, if I weren't half a man, I'd have quit long ago.
But, sir, uh, I mean, lady..
Sorry, it's out of the question.
So long, Flintstone.
Well, Mr. Carnival King, what now?
So since you can't run a carnival without acts..
...I guess there's nothin' to do, but go home.
Oh, excuse me.
You the proprietor of this here carnival?
- Yeah, you wanna buy it? - Buy it?
I wouldn't give you more than two cents for it.
- I accept that as a firm offer. - Now, look wise guy.
What time does this show go on?
There isn't gonna be a show, sheriff.
All the acts walked out on me.
You advertised a show and you're gonna put one on.
And supposin' he doesn't?
Then I'll throw him in jail for misrepresentation.
How do you like that, Barney?
Throw me in jail, just for not puttin' on a show, huh?
Well, who said I'm not?
Come on, everybody.
As they say in show biz, "The show must go on!"
Step right up, folks. Get your tickets here.
Get your tickets here!
No pushing, please, stay in line.
Oh, Betty, what are we gonna do?
Cheer up, Wilma, we may not have any acts or customers.
But we do have a band.
[band music]
You better hurry up, Fred.
We've got a crowd waitin' out there.
A crowd? Let me see, let me see.
Three people. You call that a crowd?
You never heard, "Three's a crowd," Fred?
- Ha-ha ha! - Oh, boy.
Come on, let's go.
[drum beats]
Ladies and gentlemen
in the center ring, Reckless Rubble
the human cannon ball!
[applause]
Hey, Fred, uh, can't we talk this over?
With good behavior you could be out in a couple of years.
Will you keep quiet and get in there?
Okay.
'But just watch where you're aimin'.'
boom
whoosh
bang
whoosh
whirr whirr
[applause]
Thank you, thank you.
Now, in this corner
direct from down under in Australorock
'we present Hurricane Hopperoo!'
And his opponent, Dynamite Dino
'the dancing dinosaur.'
[instrumental music]
Ow!
[whirring]
bam
thud
Hurry up with the bronto burger, lady.
I don't wanna miss any part of the show, it's great!
Come on, Betty, let's go see how the boys are doing.
And now, Fearless Flintstone
will ride a motorcycle on the high wire
'no hands, and blindfolded.'
[applause]
Poor Fred. I'm worried!
He'll be alright, Wilma. I hope.
vroom
Look, folks, no hands.
Hey, look out , Fred, look out!
crash
- Eee! - Fred!
- 'Ooh!' - 'Wow, oh!'
[all exclaiming]
Attaboy, Fred, Take off the blindfold and you'll be okay.
[drum roll]
Oh, no!
[gulps]
Hel-l-p!
Don't worry, Fred, I'll save you.
boing
whoosh
[applause]
Not bad. Not bad.
With a little training that kid'll be as strong as me.
And now, folks, may I call you're attention
to this 400 foot ladder?
(Barney) 'Fearless Flintstone'
'will perform his death defying leap'
'before your very eyes.'
- 'Ooh!' - 'Wow!'
[teeth chattering]
[squawks] Well, go ahead.
What's the matter, you chicken?
whoosh
splash
(male #4) 'How about that? Landing in water.'
That gives the high diving act a whole new twist!
Hey, Fred, are you alright?
Yeah, I'm alright.
Look at that poor Mr. Flintstone
knocking his brains out.
Maybe we shouldn't have walked out on him.
Yeah, it makes me feel like a heel.
Flintstone's really not a bad guy.
What do you say, we all ask for our jobs back.
(all) 'Yeah, yeah.'
I hope Flintstone don't think we're two-faced.
(Wilma) Cheer up, Fred, you did your best.
At least the sheriff's not gonna put you in jail.
I think you fellows put on a swell show.
- 'Oh, Mr. Flintstone.' - Uh, who's that?
It's all the acts.
They came back!
Can you come out, Mr. Flintstone?
We wanna talk to you.
You wanna talk to me?
- We sure do! - Let me tell him.
Mr. Flintstone, we want our old jobs back.
With the improvements you've made..
...we think the carnival could be a success.
Gosh, folks, thanks, but..
...I don't think I wanna own a carnival anymore.
Then this carnival must be for sale.
- It sure is. - Fine!
Here's your money back, I'll use
some of your new ideas and clean up.
Thanks. Oh, uh, Mr. Rollem.
Uh, you got two fives for this ten?
- Why, of course. - 'Thank you.'
'And here's you're ten.'
Oh, wait a minute, on second thought
I think I'd rather have my ten back.
- Oh, why, certainly. - Thank you.
Oh, don't mention it.
Hey, hey, where's my two fives?
How do you like that?
Boy, they sure learn fast, don't they?
So you see, Wilma, all's well that ends well.
I got my dough back, plus a fancy hat.
You were lucky, Fred.
But you better let me take care of the money form now on
so you don't spend it on something foolish.
Oh, boy.
Hey, uh, what's that guy doin'?
Hey, friend, what are you doin'?
Drillin' for oil.
'I think there's oil on my property.'
Oil?
I really shouldn't be here, though.
The doctor told me to move to a drier climate.
Say, you wouldn't care to buy me out, would you?
Well, I don't know..
How much?
(all) Fred!
Uh, ha-ha ha! Sorry, friend.
Forget it, I gotta go.
Oh, well.
squeak
splash
Oil!
Oil! It's a gusher!
I'm rich. Rich! I'm a millionaire!
Well, Mr. Tycoon?
Won't you ever learn?
Well, yeah, Fred, that was close.
Oh, boy. Thanks, gang.
If it weren't for you, I'd probably be stuck
with a phoney oil well.
I'm glad my mother didn't raise any stupid children.
