(YELPS AND GROANS)
(BARKS)
Now, Dino, if you don't catch this one,
it's okay.
It's a new trick I'm trying, called "the meteor."
What's a meteor?
Eh, just a word I made up.
Sounds dangerous.
(YELPING)
(GROANS)
Pebbles, why are you hiding like that?
PEBBLES: Beatrice Basalt, also known as Queen B.
The most popular cave kid in Bedrock.
If she sees me playing fetch,
I'll be so embarrassed.
-(DINO GRUMBLES) -Oh, no.
Uh, not that playing fetch is bad. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, no! She saw me!
-Now I have to say something. -Says who?
Uh, the rule of eye contact.
(EXHALES)
(CHUCKLES) Hi, Queen B!
(SCOFFS) What?
I'm going to Concerts in the Cave. Are you?
It's supposed to be really cool.
I heard Iguana Del Rey is playing.
I love Iguana Del Rey.
Unless, you know, it's not cool to love Iguana Del Rey,
in which case, I hate Iguana Del Rey.
Who are you and why are you talking to me?
Oh, uh, I'm Pebbles. Pebbles Flintstone.
I live across the street from you.
Oh, really? I didn't know.
(SIGHS)
How can you live across the street from someone your whole life
and not even know who they are?
You don't need Queen B's approval to have a good time.
-(DINO BARKS) -(PEBBLES GIGGLING)
Come on, Pebbles, let's go to the place where everybody knows your name.
Grandma Flintstone's retirement community?
Well, they do love you there,
but I was talking about the Crags.
(DINO YELPS)
You're right, Bamm-Bamm.
This is way more fun
than hanging out with the popular crowd.
(DINO BARKS)
What do you got there, Dino?
(AIR-KISSES)
Ah, looking good, Dino!
Dino, your lips, they're so huge,
luscious, red...
Wait a sec.
Those aren't lips at all.
Those are...
Slugs!
Ugh!
-(WATER SPLASHING) -How do I look?
Bamm-Bamm, that's not funny.
Take those gross slugs off your lips.
Hey.
I actually look pretty good with these new, uh...
Hey, uh, what should I call them?
Slugs that make your lips look plump?
Lip-Plumper Slugs!
I'm a genius!
(FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING)
Ugh! I can't believe you're still wearing those slugs on your lips.
Why not? I look cool.
I got more confidence than ever before,
I can make cool popping sounds.
It's like I'm a brand-new Bamm!
(POPPING)
You have to take them off.
What if Queen B sees you?
We'll be the laughingstock of Bedrock.
We'll be lower on the social ladder
than the cave kids who keep boulders as pets.
It's a rescue.
I thought you didn't care what Queen B thought of you.
I don't.
Okay. Well, maybe I do. A little.
Like, the tiniest amount.
Like the size of an amoeba.
What's an amoeba?
Uh, just a word I made up.
See ya!
-Hey. -Hey!
(POPPING)
-Nice lips. -Thanks.
They're Lip-Plumper Slugs.
(WHISPERING)
-We want to know where you got them. -In the Crags.
(WHISPERING)
-Okay. Thanks. -(SNAPS FINGERS)
Heh. Hey, looks like my Lip-Plumper Slugs
are really cool after all.
Bamm-Bamm, she was making fun of you.
Trust me, there's no way
Queen B would ever be caught dead wearing those slugs.
I mean, they look insane, disgusting.
(CHUCKLES) Looks like you have an egg on your face.
(LAUGHING)
Yeah, but isn't that your egg?
(SQUAWKS AND GASPS)
Ah, the perfect Saturday morning
where nothing is out of the ordinary
and life is normal.
Huh?
These Lip-Plumper Slugs are everything.
"Everything"?
Why would anyone want to look like that?
-BAMM-BAMM: Hi, Pebbles. -(GASPS)
Oh, it's just you.
Have you seen Queen B?
She and her squad are all wearing lip slugs now, too.
Yes. They liked mine so much,
-I went and got more from the Crags. -(SNAPPING FINGERS)
Enough slugs for everyone.
Uh, why aren't you looking at me? (GASPS)
You guys, watch where you're walking.
If you're staring at your fake slug-lips in the mirror all day,
you're gonna get hurt.
(ALL LAUGHING)
(PEBBLES GRUNTING)
Wow. Is it just me, Bamm-Bamm,
-or are they acting kinda weird? -(AIR-KISSES)
-Mmm. -Bamm-Bamm? Hello?
What? You should try it.
-(SLUGS SLOSHING) -(GASPS)
Actually, (CHUCKLES) I just remembered,
-I gotta go feed my, uh... Stereo! -(AIR-KISSING)
Everything's fine.
So my best friend and a few kids in my neighborhood
like to put slugs on their lips.
It's fine. It's fine.
Wicky, everything's fine, right?
Wicky?
(RATTLING)
These Lip-Plumper Slugs are everything.
You should try it.
"You should try it."
Why is everyone telling me that?
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
FRED: Good night, Pebbles.
Good night, Dad.
FRED: Don't let the bed slugs bite.
Wait. "Bed slugs"?
FRED: Honey, I said "bedbugs."
(THUNDER CRASHES)
(HANDLES SQUEAK)
(WATER RUNNING)
PEBBLES: (SHRIEKS) Ow! Too hot! Too hot!
Oops! My bad. (LAUGHS)
These Lip-Plumper Slugs really are everything, though, right?
-You too? -(AIR-KISSING)
Why does everyone suddenly like wearing slugs on their lips?
-Ooh! -I just don't get it.
Uh, 'cause it looks good.
The slugs love sitting on lips,
and we love the way they make our lips look.
There's literally no downside.
But why do the slugs like it?
What do they get out of it?
I'm a shower, not the answer to all of life's questions.
Hey, Pebbles, you should try it.
No, thanks.
(SLUGS SLOSHING)
(AIR-KISSING)
What happened to Bedrock?
How can one trend do this much damage?
-(AIR-KISSING) -(LEVER CLICKS)
-(TIRES SCREECH) -(LOUD CRASH)
Look what you just did!
I know, right?
Aren't these Lip-Plumper Slugs everything?
(SLUGS SLOSHING)
You should try it.
(VOICE ECHOING) You should try it.
These Lip-Plumper Slugs are...
ALL: ...everything!
(LAUGHING)
"Everything."
The slugs want you to abandon everything
and dedicate your life to spreading the trend.
(GASPS) It's mind control!
Ha. It's so simple.
ALL: Come on, Pebbles,
you should really try it.
(GASPS) No!
Mom, Dad!
There's something going on that you have to know about.
WILMA: What's that, sweetheart?
If you see a pair of slugs shaped like lips,
do not put them on your face.
You mean these Lip-Plumper Slugs?
BOTH: You should really try it.
Just try it.
-Just-- -Fine! I'll try it.
See? Look.
Big red lips, just like you guys.
FRED: Say, pretty good! WILMA: How about that!
(GASPS)
(SLUGS SLOSHING)
It's working. The peppers look like lips.
I just wish they didn't burn so much. (GROANS)
You finally joined us.
Welcome.
Your lips look so hot.
-(LIPS SIZZLING) -Yeah, they are.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! It hurts.
(SIGHS IN RELIEF)
She's not wearing Lip-Plumper Slugs!
ALL: Just try it!
Just try it!
These Lip-Plumper Slugs are everything!
Just try it! Just try it!
(DINO YAPPING)
Dino! Oh, you unbelievable mutt!
-Get me away from these slugs! -(BARKS)
PEBBLES: Whoa!
(GASPS) Dino!
You brought me straight to the mud bowl they came from!
(BARKING)
Now I'm the only free person left.
Well, except for Dino, but that's a hollow victory.
I don't want to be taken over
and made a zombie like everyone else.
But I also don't want to be all alone.
(SLUGS SLOSHING)
Goodbye, brain.
Okay, well...
I still think they look silly.
And I still hate them.
So then, you guys aren't mind-controlling everyone after all.
-(GASPS) -Mind control?
Are you crazy?
-(GIGGLING) -We can't control minds.
We're just slugs.
Oh! But, then why do you stay on people's lips?
Uh, we do it for the crumbs.
-(SMACKS LIPS) -Mmm-mmm, so good.
(LAUGHS)
So my friends really were all just falling for a stupid, gross trend?
I think you forgot to say
-stylish! -(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYS)
-Oh, what a relief. -(SLUGS YELPING)
Fashion trends never last.
Eventually, life will go back to normal. Whew!
So, why'd you take your slugs off?
That trend is so yesterday.
And besides, I'm a trendsetter,
not a follower.
Once it catches on,
I gotta walk away and think of the next big thing.
Oh. Is that why you glued a bunch of bone shards to your club?
I call it "bone-dazzling."
Hey, look.
That's the cool girl who doesn't care what people think.
I think her name is Pebbles.
Did you hear that?
I'm a cool girl who doesn't care what people think.
Yeah, but you definitely seem to care
that people think you don't care what they--
-Shh! -Ow!
Let me have this.
