Betty, thank goodness you're home.
Wilma, what happened?
You look like your hairdryer went rabid.
Oh, Betty, I lost the bracelet Fred got me for our anniversary.
It's the one nice thing he's ever bought me,
and if he finds out I lost it,
I'll never hear the end of it.
I need your help.
I'm sorry, Wilma,
but I have to go interview a metalsmith
for my upcoming article on theoretical science,
and I'm already late.
[loud slurping]
Gee, I could help you, Wilma.
Oh, uh... Thanks, Barney, but--
You just said you needed help.
Oh, I know, but...
I'll just get Pebbles to help me.
Sorry, Mom. Bamm-Bamm and I are heading to the Crags.
Bye!
Should we get started?
[sighs heavily]
[whooping excitedly]
Yes! Four crashes in one toss.
Beat that, Pebbles.
Bamm-Bamm is now five crashes ahead in Crag Crashers,
a sizeable lead.
Oh, is that all?
-Hmm. -[clock ticks]
[timer dings]
Now, go get it, boy. Ha!
[whooping excitedly]
[gasping]
Do you wanna be my friend?
[exclaiming]
-[gasping] -What were you thinking?
You can't run in front of Dino like that.
He's like a runaway freight train.
With no conductor.
Sorry. I just got so excited about making a friend. Heh!
My name's Spike. I'm a prongodon.
Who are you guys?
[all laugh]
We're Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
Basically we're just two best friends
who hang out in the Crags having adventures
and helping weirdos in need.
[gasps] You guys are best friends?
-Uh... Yeah. -Wow!
I've always wanted a best friend.
It must be so cool!
Do you finish each other's sentences?
Yeah, but we like to think of it as...
...starting each other's sentences.
Wow! Do you guys have a secret handshake?
Oh, yeah!
Do you... Do you...
Hug?
Of course, dude.
Wow! [laughs excitedly]
If I had a best friend, I would hug them all the time.
It might get a little weird, but, hey, you do you.
Wait, have you never hugged before?
Are you kidding? I'd shish kebab anyone who tried.
Prongodons can't even hug each other.
My parents tried once...
[sniffling]
I miss them so much!
Well, that ends now.
Bamm-Bamm and I are gonna find you a best friend.
Really? One I can hug?
One you can hug.
-We promise. -Wow!
Uh, Pebbles, I'm not so sure you can promise something like that.
-Why not? -You can't force a best-friendship.
It's gotta happen between people naturally. Like ours.
Bamm-Bamm our parents were friends before we were born.
They chose our friendship for us.
You mean, our friendship was... concocted?
I prefer the term "engineered."
That's even worse!
And we're gonna engineer you a friendship just as durable as ours.
Wow!
Can I be Dino's best friend?
[Dino exclaims]
No, Dino's already best friends with Wicky.
But don't worry, Spike, we'll find you the perfect best friend.
-Wicky, run a search. -Right away, Pebbles.
But I should point out that Dino and I are not actually best friends.
Find the most durable dinosaur in the Crags.
You got it.
[Wilma] Barney, are you sure Fred got that bracelet here?
Madistone Avenue has the most expensive stores in Bedrock.
Yup, he said only the best for his Wilma.
Hmm. That doesn't sound like Fred.
Is this the one you're looking for?
Oh, my! It's an exact match.
Fred will never know.
Thank you, Barney.
I couldn't have done it without your help.
That's what friends are for.
And I'm sorry for doubting you,
or ever being mean or rude to you.
Eh! That's what friends are for.
-[laughs] -[chuckling weakly]
I tell you, mister, Spike here is the perfect best friend.
Look, I didn't hatch yesterday, kid.
If he's such a great best friend,
why are you trying to pawn him off on me?
What? No, no, no.
Spike's not my best friend.
Bamm-Bamm is.
We don't have anything in common.
She loves science, organization,
having a big vocabulary...
I don't even know what those words mean.
[chucks awkwardly] Just forget him.
We're talking about your best friend.
Don't you wanna find that one special person you can have a deeper connection with?
Yeah... I do.
But I should really talk it over with my wife first.
Oh, man! I'm gonna be alone forever
[sighs] Give me a break, kid.
Nobody ever meets their best friend on the first try.
Just ask Wicky and Dino.
Actually, Pebbles, I'd like you to meet Lisa.
We've been best friends since the nest.
Uh, Wicky, we talked about this.
You're not my best friend.
You weren't even invited to my wedding.
Yeah, but I thought that was so your bridesmaids wouldn't get jealous.
Oh, Wicky!
No.
[wind howling]
[dramatically] Oh!
You'll find a best friend, Spike.
You just gotta keep trying.
I've been trying!
I made friends with an armadactyl
a shieldadon, a rubbersaurus.
But it always ends the same.
An emergency trip to the closest nursopotamus.
That's it!
You don't need somebody who's impervious to your prongs.
You need somebody so lonely and desperate for affection,
they're willing to get stabbed every time they hug their best friend.
Oh, man! Who would be that desperate for a friend,
other than me?
[Pebbles] These lava falls are the home of the angorilla.
An ape so awful,
so cruel,
so bad-tempered,
-you would have to be insane to be his friend. -[footsteps thundering]
[growling]
Which means, you are his only option.
He has no choice but to be your friend.
Ha. I know how that feels.
Why would I wanna be his friend?
Won't he just be mean to me?
Maybe.
But then you don't have to feel bad when your prongs stab him.
[belches] I'll have you know
that I already have a best friend.
You do?
It's my brother.
We've been best friends since birth.
Even though I hate him.
Wait, so in a way,
Your parents chose your best friend, too.
Do you think you'd still be friends if you weren't brothers?
Or do you think it's all fake?
Personally, I wanna believe in free will.
-[growling] -But how would we ever even know, right?
Uh, Bamm-Bamm, maybe you should leave him alone.
Maybe nobody chooses their friends.
Or maybe your brother chose you.
[roars]
Why do you ask so many questions?
You're just like my brother.
[Bamm-Bamm yells]
[groans]
Come on, we gotta help Bamm-Bamm.
Hold on a second.
What is it? Do you have some kind of plan?
Yeah, let's run away instead.
-He's a goner. -What?
No, we can't abandon him.
Sure, we can.
The entrance is wide open.
It'd be easy.
No. I mean, Bamm-Bamm's our friend, and he needs us.
We have to help him, no matter the danger.
Because that's what friends do.
Oh! That's what it means to be best friends.
[Bamm-Bamm grunts]
[screams]
-Never mind. I'm good. -What!
Where are you going?
Second thought, I'm cool with not having friends.
It's easier to just look out for myself.
Peace!
Huh! Maybe his prongs aren't the reason he doesn't have any friends.
-[Bamm-Bamm yells] -[loud crash]
[groans]
All right, you angry ape.
You wanted a fight? Now you got one.
-[sizzling] -Oh! Hot, hot, hot, hot!
-Ow. -[growls]
[Bamm-Bamm] Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
[growls]
That's it! Don't worry, guys, your best friends will save you.
-Why did you wait until now? -Dino isn't my--
Hey, Dino. Wanna play Crag Crashers?
-Not even to save your best friend? -Hmm?
Wicky, the bird?
-Huh? -Whatever.
Just go get the stick.
[Dino whooping]
[Bamm-Bamm screaming]
Huh? Hmm!
[roars]
[Dino whooping]
I'm gonna tell you what I told my brother.
You may be my best friend, but--
[sizzling]
Dino, you smashed a boulder with your head for me.
It may have been involuntary,
and your head is the least useful part of your body,
but still, no one's ever done that for me.
[woofs]
[groaning]
Uh, Pebbles, did that guy call you his best friend?
I think so. But I also think he was really dumb.
Good. Cool.
I can't believe I couldn't find Spike a best friend.
Don't beat yourself up, Pebbles.
I don't think he was ready for one.
That's right.
A best friend isn't just someone you pick to high-five and hug.
It's a bond that you build over time
through caring, trust, and sacrifice.
Like me and Dino.
[Dino exclaiming]
Unfortunately.
Say, Wilma, where's the engraving?
What engraving?
On your bracelet.
I had the inside inscribed with our anniversary,
Thursday.
Uh, Wilma, we'd better fess up.
[sighs] I'm sorry, Fred.
I lost the bracelet you got me,
so I bought a replacement on Madistone Avenue,
and hoped you wouldn't notice.
Are you crazy?
Madistone Avenue?
Why on Pangea would you go to the most expensive shopping district in Bedrock?
Well, that's where Barney told me you bought it.
Barney!
Sorry, Fred.
I figured you wouldn't want me telling Wilma
you actually found it on the subway.
Fred!
Ugh! Gee thanks, Barn.
Any time, Fred.
What are friends for?
[chuckles]
