(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
(RUMBLING)
Hey, Pebbles, whatcha doin'?
I'm looking for Exoskeleton organisms
that defy the relationship
morphological taxonomy implies.
-In other words... -Ah! There's other words?
I'm studying bugs, Bamm-Bamm.
If you want to help, pick up a rock.
Now you're talking my words that I talk.
Heavy lifting, baby! Ooh-yeah!
It's all about engaging the core.
Are the bugs looking at me?
Are they jealous of my rock?
Nobody's jealous of your rock.
-Hey, give me that! -Get your own!
(BOTH GROWLING)
Okay, that's weird.
Let's just give him the rock and get out of here.
I'll give it to him all right.
(GRUNTS AND WAILS)
Pebbles, you're still my best friend,
but now you're also tied with this rock.
-(ROCK CRACKS) -(BAMM-BAMM Gasps)
Rock, are you okay? Speak to me.
It can't speak, Bamm-Bamm.
VOICE: No, I'm not okay.
-I'm done. -(CRACKING)
Wow! My rock had a baby?
That's not... Help me out here.
I'm an armadillo.
Oh, no, Bamm-Bamm, he was curled up in his shell
hiding from that dinosaur.
-Well, no need to thank me. -Thank you?
You ruined my shell.
I'm as good as dinner.
(WAILS)
Oh, my gosh. I-I didn't mean to.
I'm so sorry. I'll protect you. I promise.
(SNIFFLES) You will?
Sure he will. And in the meantime, I'll fix your shell.
I've been studying exoskeletons.
So, in a way, this is perfect.
I mean, you know, perfect for science.
Not for you.
She said the same thing when I ate a bee.
Bamm-Bamm Rubble at your service.
My name's Percy.
Now that I have you to keep me safe,
how about we go looking for a bite to eat?
Now you're talking my...
-Language. -...things that I say.
We've got to be careful.
If a dinosaur sees me without my shell...
(WHIMPERS)
(CHOMPING)
What? Him? He doesn't look so bad.
Look here, that guy's a real nasty predator.
He's always saying he wants to eat me
for an appetizer,
not even the main course!
Rude. You're totally a main course, Percy.
Hey, you big jerk!
Snack on this!
Aah!
(GRUNTS AND GROANS)
Nice work, kid. Here, you deserve a share.
Thanks.
It's funny, you know, he didn't really look like a predator, but...
-(WAILING) -Hey, what's the matter?
Nothing. It's just,
we armadillos used to have a fruit tree of our very own.
We didn't have to sneak around.
But it got taken over by a bigger and stronger dinosaur.
(SIGHS) I guess that's just how nature works.
That's how nature works?
Well, not anymore.
You're with me now
and I don't understand how nature works.
(ANGELIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(GULPING AND CHOMPING)
There it is. The armadillo's fruit tree.
Let's take it back.
-Maybe he'll let us share. -Share?
He'll share a bite of me
without my shell which you broke.
I thought you swore to protect me.
You're right, we have to do this
for armadillos everywhere,
wherever they live,
underground or maybe in trees or something.
That's the spirit.
Hey, you big goon,
this all you can eat buffet is closed for a private party.
(GRUNTS AND WAILS)
(CHUCKLES) That was amazing.
Where'd you come up with the line about the buffet being closed?
Dunno, just thought of the worst thing anyone has ever said to me.
Look at this.
We hit the jackpot!
-(CHOMPING) -It was yours to begin with, right?
Of course it was!
The Crags is full of fruit stealing bullies
picking on little guys like me.
You know, with our muscle and my brains,
we could turn this place around.
I'd give you ten percent of the fruit.
Ah, I don't know if I like the sound of this.
I would be the one doing the math.
Oh, then it's a deal, I have no concerns whatsoever.
I don't know if I like the looks of this.
-(DINO SNIFFING) -(WICKY GRUNTS)
It's an improvement in maneuverability
without compromising the structural integrity,
but I don't know how he's supposed to put it on.
(SIGHS) I give up.
Wicky, I need some more information.
Dino, drop.
Thank you.
How do armadillos take off their shells?
I'm glad you asked, they don't.
They don't? But Percy said...
What about the shell I just fixed?
This shell in particular appears to be made out of
shale, resin and tree bark.
It's just rocks glued to wood?
What is going on here?
VOICE: Don't hurt me, please.
One apple? One measly apple?
That's all I got, I swear.
There better be two apples the next time we see you,
or my friend here whacks you silly. Now, scram!
(GRUNTING)
What was that about?
Did that turtle attack Percy?
Huh? Yeah, I mean, I assume.
Oh, yeah, he's awful.
He steals cars.
Uh, why would a turtle steal a car?
Lady, I'm not a detective, I'm domarillo.
Armadillo!
Hey, is that my new shell?
(WHISTLES) Pretty good.
Nice work, doll-face.
There's more where that came from
if you make some for me friends.
Percy knows a whole bunch of armadillos that lost their shells.
I told them he could invite them over and we'd help them, too.
-Give me my shell. -(WICKY SCREAMS)
Get ready to party.
Woohoo! Yeah!
Stop yelling and get ready to party.
Huh? What?
We need food and chairs, music.
It's a party. Get ready to party.
-Uh, sorry. I thought-- -Don't be sorry.
-Just get ready to party. -Got it.
(PARTY MUSIC PLAYING)
So then I says to them, I says,
"Hey, this buffet is closed for a private party."
(ALL LAUGHING)
Ah, where do you come up with this stuff?
Hey, Stretch.
Another round for the table.
And keep 'em comin'
or my friend here will whack ya.
(TREMBLING) Yes, sir.
-Is he a predator, too? -(LAUGHING)
What'd I tell ya, I love this guy.
Ha-ha. I love you, too?
Eh, okay, okay.
Why don't you circulate for a little bit
and work the room for a while?
Okay.
Hey, Ronnie.
Stinky-Dave, glad you could make it.
Cammy, who let you in here?
I'm kidding. Try the fruit.
Pebbles. Pebberino.
-Pebb-- -My name is Pebbles Flintstone.
It is not Pebberino.
It is not doll-face.
-Ah, okay. -Say it. Say my name.
-Your name is Pebbles Flintstone. -Good.
Now, let's try something a little harder.
What's wrong with this picture?
Oh! Oh! I'm good at these. Let's see... Ah...
Ronnie's thumb is on the wrong side,
Dino's got an umbrella indoors,
the boxing ring isn't regulation size.
-How many do I have to find? -Bamm-Bamm,
Percy is not an armadillo.
These are not armadillos.
These are shaved rats!
(BURPING)
So I says, so I says,
"Buddy, I'm not an armadillo, I'm a shaved rat."
(ALL LAUGHING)
(GASPS) You're all a bunch of rats!
Yeah, so what?
We run the Crags now.
We got everybody in our pocket.
Even King T-Rock.
(CHOMPING)
I have my weaknesses.
Well, I don't want any part of this.
It's too late.
You've made an enemy out of every predator in the Crags.
You need me as much as I need you.
But don't worry,
we're gonna be rich.
(RATS LAUGHING)
Hello, I'm here to collect Mr. Percy's fruit.
Let me in or I'll, uh, I'll whack you.
(GROANS)
Hello?
(GASPS) It's a set-up. But how?
I made them an offer they couldn't refuse.
Pebbles?
The girl said she'd take us to Percy
if we promised not to eat you.
So here's what's gonna happen.
Your partnership with Percy, it's finished.
You're done protecting that rat.
But the boss, he won't let me.
If I tried to get out, he'll pull me back in.
You're not getting it, kid.
There's a new boss.
Now, how about we take our new friends here
and go pay a visit to that dirty rat.
Uh... Uh... Uh...
-Bamm-Bamm! -What? Yes, obviously yes.
I was thinking about lunch.
-(GRUNTING) -Pull harder.
Stupid thing, built for a bird.
-(GROWLING) -(NERVOUS LAUGH)
Gentlemen...
(PERCY GROANING)
Ooh. Aah.
-Huh? -We're closed. Permanently.
Ohh...
Aah!
(KISSES) I know what you did, Bamm-Bamm.
You broke my heart.
Yeah? I'll do you one better.
(PERCY SCREAMS)
-PERCY: Ow! -(PEBBLES SIGHS)
Well, I don't know what I learned from all of this,
except that I definitely don't wanna get on your bad side.
You are very scary.
I think that's a good lesson. (CHOMPS)
Hey, have you always had a bone in your hair?
I feel like I'm just noticing this.
