[chuckles]
Worked like a charm, huh, Barney?
Boy, Fred, you could sell an anchor to a drowning man.
Betty swallowed that story, hook, pin, and ball.
I hope I can do as well with Wilma.
You better, Barn, on an operation like this
there is no room for error.
What're you doing with that bowling ball?
We're going bowling, aren't we?
Not if our wives see you with that, we're not.
Now, I'm going inside, give me about a minute with Wilma
'and then you'll hear me say real loud'
"I hope nothing comes up," that's when you come in.
When you say, "I hope nothing comes up."
- I come in. - Right.
Without the bowling ball.
Yeah, I got you, pal.
Wilma honey, I'm home!
Fred, dear, I didn't hear you come in
I was doing the washing.
[chuckles] Isn't it about time you stopped working
and got ready to go out for dinner?
Fred, this is the first time you remembered
without being reminded.
Why, I've been thinking about it all day.
There isn't anything I'd rather do.
I sure hope nothing comes up to spoil it.
[yelping]
[cooing]
I don't understand, Fred. What could possibly come up?
Eh, what's that?
Eh, would you say that a little louder, Wilma?
I said, what could possibly come up?
Oh, what could possibly come up?
Well, I sure hope nothing comes up!
Uh-oh.
Oops.
Now, what could that be coming up?
[muttering] Uh, is a-a Fred home, Wilma?
Who do you think opened the door stupid?
O-ow, Fred, uh, something just came up.
Oh, that so, Barney, what is it?
Well, i-i-it's uh, pin and ball time.
[stammering]
Pin and ball time?
Do you mean to tell me it's time to decide
'whose wife is to receive one of the award pins'
'at the next lodge ball?'
(Barney) 'Uh, yeah, i-it's time again to decide'
'whose wife is, is gonna get the pin award'
at the, oh, at the ball and uh, I, uh--
And we've got to be at the lodge tonight
because we're on the committee.
[cooing] Ball!
The pin and ball committee?
Uh, yeah, yeah, tha-that's right, Wilma.
I was supposed to tell Fred and I forgot all about it.
[cooing] Ball, ball!
Eh-eh, we're on the committee.
Doggone it, and I wanted to take Wilma out to dinner.
Well, these emergencies can't be helped
I mean, uh, if you're on a committee.
Is this your bowling ball, Barney?
Huh, uh, no.
I-I've never seen it before.
(Wilma) Oh, then I'll just throw it in the thrash.
Pebbles might play with it and hurt herself.
- Huh, uh, no-- - No, Barney, no!
(Barney) 'Wilma, that is my bowling ball!'
It seems to be always rolling out of my house.
You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
Pin and ball committee indeed.
'You've both got bowling written all over you.'
Wilma, are you accusing us of telling a lie?
Of course, look at it, I'm not an ogre.
I know you have to have a certain amount of recreation.
'Why don't you just try'
'telling the truth and see what happens?'
- 'You might be surprised.' - Okay, Wilma.
Honey, tonight's the night of the big playoff
between Slate Rock and the Dobe Mixers.
'And Barney and me, we're the anchormen.'
- 'We've got to be there.' - Now.
That's acting like a grown man.
Doesn't it feel good to tell the truth?
Yeah, sorta gives me goosebumps.
Well, honey, what do you say, can I go bowling?
No, you're taking me out to dinner!
[grunts] Gazoo! Gazoo!
Where are you?
You really think Gazoo can help us?
Well, if he can't, nobody can.
Hey, Gazoo!
What's getting two guys out of the house
so they can go bowling compared to making a trip
down here from his planet?
Well, uh, when he shows up, we'll leave it to him.
(Fred) Sure, that is if he answers. You know how sound he sleeps.
Hey, uh, let's rest for a while, I'm beat.
Okay.
Hey, what's the big idea?
Why don't you look where you're sitting?
Gazoo, we've been looking all over for you.
I've been here right under your nose all the time.
[chuckles]
Well, what's on your mind?
Well, we've got a bowling playoff game tonight and--
Forget it, I don't know the first thing about bowling.
Now, just a minute, Gazoo, you were sent down here
to do good deeds and serve us.
'So far, you haven't done anything but sleep.'
Okay, okay, I'll help you, don't make a scene.
Well, now, what's the problem?
Well, it's like I said
we got this very important bowling match.
Yeah, but our wives insist we take 'em to dinner.
Let's see, you want to be in one place
but you have to be in another, simple.
It is? What do we do?
Tell me, did you ever hear of a law that says
there can't be two Freds and two Barneys?
No, not that I can remember.
- You Barn? - No, I never heard of that one.
So..
[snaps fingers]
...now, there are.
'Gentlemen, meet Fred and Barney nothings.'
Hey, that's terrific.
What's so terrific about it?
Now, there's four of us that can't go bowling.
Wrong, two can go bowling
and two can take the wives to dinner.
Don't you get it, Barn, we go bowling
and our doubles double for us at home.
Gazoo, I got one word for you.
Yaba-daba-doo!
Hey, hold it, Fred, I'm still not sure
when these dummies talk to Betty and Wilma
they're liable to spill everything they know
then where will we be.
You think I would take such a stupid chance?
[chuckles] Watch!
Alright nothings, attention!
At ease.
Now, hear this Fred and Barney Nothing
while you're a Flintstone and a Rubble
you will be able to say only one word each.
You Fred, will only say "Yes."
'And you Barney will only say "No."'
- 'Is that clear?' - Yes, yes, yes.
No, no, no.
Good, good, good.
My nothing doesn't understand.
He said "No, no, no."
Don't be so dumb, Barn, that's all he can say.
When he says "No" he don't mean "No."
- No? What does he mean? - No! He means "Yes."
- 'Yes, what?' - Not "Yes, what?" "Yes, no."
You see, if he, if he.. If he..
[groans] Forget it, Barn.
What do we do now, Gazoo?
You might get out of here, let me go back to my nap.
[snaps fingers]
Hey, what're you doing? Where'd they go?
At this precise moment, your doubles
are waiting to take your wives out to dinner.
[yawns]
How about that? We're free to go bowling.
I hate to be so dumb all the time
but, uh, now, how do we get our bowling balls?
Uh-oh, that does present a problem.
Oh, very well.
[snaps fingers]
Next, you'll be asking me to be the pinball, eh?
(Fred) 'Hold it, Gazoo, what do we do with Fred and Barney Nothing'
'when we're through with 'em?'
Bring them back to me and I'll snap them out.
Now, get lost.
Well, Barney, what're we waiting for?
Let's get lost. Yaba-daba-doo!
So, I caught the boys in a big lie
and insisted they take us out to dinner.
A-a-achoo!
Oh, wouldn't you know the only thing I'm allergic to
is face powder.
You mean, that was all made-up, that business
about the pin and ball committee?
All but the pin and ball part, they were going bowling.
How did you know they weren't telling the truth?
(Wilma) 'Oh, that was easy.'
Barney isn't half as good a liar as Fred is.
And now for their punishment..
(Betty) 'What do you have in mind?'
The most expensive restaurant in town.
Maison La Rock.
They'll never agree to go there.
(Wilma) 'At least worth a try while their consciences'
are bothering them.
Maybe we should tell them about these new dresses too.
I can't think of a better time. Let's go.
- Yes, yes, yes. - No, no, no.
- Yes. - No.
Fred dear, do you like my new dress?
Yes, yes, yes.
I-I bought a new dress too, Barney.
You-you don't mind, do you?
No, no, no.
See, we've got them in the palms of our hands.
Let's bring the restaurant on them.
Just for being such naughty little boys
'you're going to take us to Maison La Rock.'
Yes, yes, yes.
You sure you don't think it's too expensive, Barney?
No, no, no.
Well, let's go.
Ladies and gentlemen, has this been a contest
or has this been a contest?
I'm telling you this has been a contest.
Man about to bowl is Fred Flintstone
'Slate's anchorman.'
This little toss could finish the game
one little itsy-bitsy strike
and the Slates will chalk up another win
which will cinch the series.
There's class for you. What a bowler?
'Look at him get a fix on that head pin.'
- Atta-boy, Fred. - Yeah, go get him, pal.
[drumroll]
Before what might well be the final throw of the game
let me remind you that our sponsor is Golpiz
the dinosaur vitaminized vital.
Ask your dinosaur what he wants for dinner.
He'll tell you, "Golpiz."
Okay, Mr. Flintstone, let it fly.
[chuckles]
[cheering]
Atta-boy, pal.
Well, that does it, ladies and gentlemen.
The Slates knocked out the Dobe Mixers.
And remember who brought this match to you
it was eh-eh, it, uh, it came to you through the courtesy
of, uh, "Golpiz."
Delicious! Ask your dinosaur.
[instrumental music]
[chuckles]
Guess we left those Dobe Mixers
with mud on their faces, huh, Barn?
You were superb, Fred, really magnificent.
Not to mention pretty good.
Eh, you better step on it, Fred
we're a little late getting home.
Oh, you're forgetting, Barney boy, at this moment
we are entertaining our wives at dinner.
Thanks to Fred and Barney Nothing.
Hey, it slipped my mind, I wonder where they
uh, uh, we took 'em.
Probably the Bill and Joe's Beanery as usual.
Look, Barn!
'Isn't that your car in the Maison La Rock parking lot?'
Hey, yeah. Hey, what's going on?
I can't even afford to park there.
There may be a lot of things going on we can't afford.
Let's have a look-see.
[jazz music]
Will you look at that, Barn?
Those nothings have ordered everything on the menu.
(Barney) 'And I thought my double was gonna say "No, no, no."'
Oh, we better do something or those freeloaders
are gonna eat up our life savings.
And our wife savings.
Mind if Betty and I powder our noses?
No, no, no.
It will be very thoughtful if there were bottle of champagne
here when we get back.
Yes, yes, yes.
One bottle of champagne coming up.
Champagne? Oh, boy.
We gotta get those nothings back to Gazoo and snap out fast.
Hey, watch it, Fred.
Let's go, Barn, this is our chance.
[applause]
Okay, you nothings, the feast is over.
Let's get going.
Uh, you take mine, Fred. I'll take yours.
It'll look better, huh?
We're in luck, Barn, we'll soon be rid of these nothings.
- 'Fred, Fred Flintstone?' - 'Yes, yes, yes.'
'Well, well, why don't you join the missus and me?'
You're not in a hurry, are you?
No, no, no.
Barney, you see what I see?
Yeah, y-y-your boss, and he's talking to us.
Well, Fred, Barney, this is a pleasant surprise.
- Do you come here often? - Yes, yes, yes.
Well, I'm glad to hear it.
I was thinking of giving Fred a raise.
But if he can afford the Maison La Rock
I guess he doesn't need it.
No, no, no.
Barney, of all the dumb things to say
you killed my raise.
I didn't say nothing, Fred.
Oh, yeah, I-I'm getting a little confused.
Come on, Barn, we better get to a phone
and have those nothings paged before they lose me my job.
- Where're you boys going? - Huh?
Oh, Wilma! Barney, look who's here?
I'm looking. I'm looking.
What's the matter with you two?
You act as though you'd never seen us before.
Eh, uh, i-i-it's your dress, Wilma.
Th-that's what I've never seen before.
Uh, hey, that's a new one you have on, isn't it, Betty?
Oh, you two, you're the end. Aren't they, Betty?
[chuckles] Yes, yes, yes.
Barney, did you order the champagne?
Uh, no, I thought it was a little too expensive.
The champagne you ordered, sir.
- Oh, boy. - I'm sure I said "No, no, no."
Yeah, but I no doubt said "Yes, yes, yes."
Say, Barney, how about dancing with Mrs. Slate?
- My arches have me grounded. - No, no, no.
Uh, perhaps Mr. Flintstone would like to dance?
Yes, yes, yes.
Well, that's nice of you, Fred.
I must say Rubble, Flintstone outclasses you two to one.
No, no, no.
But yes, yes, yes.
They're getting in over our heads, Barney.
'My nothing is dancing with my boss' wife.'
- Eh, what do we do now? - We dance.
You cut in and I'll cut out with Fred nothing.
Wilma honey, would you care to trip the light fantastical?
Why, Fred, you haven't danced with me in years.
Hey, Betty, what do you say
we give your new dress a whirl, huh?
I thought you'd never ask.
[slow music]
Uh, Betty honey, I see Fred's boss over there.
I-I'm going over and saying "Hello."
Uh, we'll have the next dance, okay?
Of course, Barney dear.
Maybe you can talk him into giving Fred a raise?
Uh, yeah, yeah, could be, could be.
- Uh, Fred, may I cut in? - Yes, yes, yes.
Wilma honey, eh, yo-your dress is opening at back
y-you better go fix the zipper.
Oh, dear.
Uh, Mr. Rubble, do you mind
if we return to my table?
I, uh, uh, bu-bu, I can't, Mrs. Slate.
Well, I can, Mr. Rubble.
Hey, Fred, did you get rid of your double?
No, no, no.
- Are you sure you're not him? - Yes, yes.
- Can't you say anything else? - Yes, yes.
I'm sure I'm not him.
Well, so am I.
'Cause there you are back at your boss' table.
Oh-ho-ho, that gives me an idea.
Come with me.
- Do I look like a waiter, Fred? - Yeah, a dumb waiter.
Just keep that mop on your head.
Uh, two soups coming up.
Oops.
That's too bad, boy, am I the clumsy one.
(Barney) 'Uh, we take care of.. Fix up, okay.'
- We fix, we fix. - Yeah, yeah, we fix, we fix.
We get them all clean up.
- No, no, no. - Yes, yes, yes.
Poor Mr. Flintstone, what a ghastly accident?
At least the waiters were pleasant about it.
I hope we didn't burn them with the hot soup.
How can you burn a couple of nothings?
Uh, we gotta find Gazoo and get rid of them.
Uh, don't worry, we'll find him.
How do we explain to Wilma and Betty why we sneaked out?
Barney, please, one problem at a time.
We'll burn that bridge when we come to it.
I hope when we come to it it isn't washed out.
Gazoo! Gazoo! Where are you?
Come out, come out, wherever you are.
Hey, Fred, try sitting down.
That's how you found Gazoo last time.
I guess it's worth a try.
(Barney) 'Uh-oh, there go our nothings with the car.'
Yeah, our doubles have double crossed us.
How much farther to home, Fred?
Only another..
[motor approaching]
...six miles.
[motor clanking]
They're stopping, Fred.
- We're in luck. - This is luck?
Uh, we've come to your bridge, Fred, start burning it.
Wilma, honey, I can explain everything.
(Wilma) 'You don't have to explain.'
Mr. Slate told us all about those clumsy waiters.
- Were you hurt? - Hurt?
- Uh, uh, uh, well.. - Well, we-we went into shock.
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
We, we found ourselves wandering down the road.
Oh, you poor dears.
We'll get you right home and take care of you.
Incidentally, Mr. Slate paid the check.
Well, that was darn nice of him.
Boy, that's good news.
He said he'd take it out of Fred's salary
'a little each week.'
He always was a..
...cheapskate.
Well, anyway, Fred, it looks like
our troubles are over.
[horn blaring]
Not yet, they're not.
Look at those crazy drivers.
I'll follow them and get their number.
No, no, no, no, don't do that.
Yeah, Barney's right, they might run us off the road.
[horns blaring]
Besides, Barn and I don't feel too good.
You better get us home.
[continues honking]
I got the number, it's 2-6-5-4-7.
No, no, no, it's 26537. Yeah.
It couldn't be, that's our number.
Wilma's right, Barney, it was 26547.
Unh.
When're you gonna get your eyes examined?
Oh, I'm-I'm sorry, Fred, I didn't uh--
Have them look at your brain while they're at it.
[siren blaring]
Hey, isn't that you, Mr. Flintstone?
Yes, yes, yes.
- And your buddy, Rubble? - No, no, no.
Oh, come on, Mr. Rubble, you know, you were going 85?
- Yes, yes, yes. - Well, slow down, huh?
- Stay within the speed limit. - No, no, no.
Oh, you're gonna get smart, I'll have to give you a ticket.
Yes, yes, yes.
- Did you say "Yes, yes, yes?" - No, no, no.
You guys are flipped, you better follow me.
Yes, yes, yes.
[instrumental music]
Now, you boys relax
while Betty and I fix some tea.
Come on, Barn, we gotta find that nitwit Gazoo
before those nothings cause any more trouble.
The boys are acting awfully strange, aren't they, Betty?
Maybe it's just from the shock of the hot soup.
[knock on door]
Now, who could that be at this hour of the night?
(cop) 'Excuse me, Mrs. Flintstone.'
I found your husband and his buddy
driving all over the road.
From the way they're acting
I don't think it's a police matter.
I think they need a doctor.
Ow, poor dears, you're right, officer.
They were frightened by some hot soup.
Oh, I see.
They were frightened by some hot soup?
Goodnight, ma'am. I'm cuttin' out of here.
Now, those nothings are in your house.
- What next? - I hate to think about it.
- Get off me, you big lama. - Gazoo!
Where have you been?
Why do you always ask me that?
(Barney) 'Gazoo, you've gotta get rid of our doubles.'
- They're ruining our lives. - Alright, don't get excited.
Bring them to me and I'll snap them out.
We can't, they're in the house.
Well, get them out of the house.
Can't you do something for yourself?
'I'll be here when you're ready.'
Don't you disappear again.
I won't. I just want to relax if you don't mind.
Do you feel alright now, Fred dear?
Yes, yes, yes.
Wilma, look!
[gibberish]
Fred, outside, a burglar.
Barney, quick, get him.
'Out of the window.'
[rumbling]
Gazoo, over here!
'Gazoo!'
'Get 'em. Make 'em disappear.'
[snaps fingers]
Well, there you are. Now, are you satisfied?
Yes, yes, yes.
What happened? Didn't I snap out the nothings?
No, no, no.
Now, I'll have to fix that.
'First, get rid of the nothings'
'then bring back Flintstone and Rubble.'
[snaps fingers]
Gee, thanks.
Yeah, thanks.
Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go
catch up on the sleep I was trying to catch up on.
- Yes, yes, yes. - Yes, yes, yes.
And thanks, thanks, thanks, Gazoo
for getting us out of trouble.
Forget it. Oh, and incidentally
in the future, try telling the truth
and your troubles won't be doubles.
- Yes, yes, yes. - Yes, yes, yes.
- Right, right, right. - Right, right, right.
- And yeah, yeah, yeah. - And yeah, yeah, yeah.
