Roll 'em, Sam! Go!
Hey, wait a minute!
Slow down! Whoa!
Turn them into
the gates, Hercurock!
Turn them? How?
Pull back
on the reins!
They're sh**ting
a scene now. See?
There's a stuntman
on a chariot.
Help! Get me off of here!
Help!
That's no stuntman.
That's Fred! Yoo-Hoo!
Fred!
Wilma! Barney!
Save me!
Fred, look out!
[Toot]
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Let's ride with the family
down the street
Through the courtesy
Of Fred's two feet
When you're
with the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo
time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
Bye, Barney.
Enjoy your golf game.
Yeah, thanks,
Betty.
Bam bam!
Bam bam bam!
Look at
bamm-Bamm.
He wants to
play golf, too.
[Honk honk honk
honk]
Barney: how about that?
A hole in one!
Bamm-Bamm is not only the
strongest kid in the world,
But he's also
a champion golfer.
Ha ha ha!
[Quack]
Hey, Fred, you ready?
Be right with you,
Barney, old boy.
So long, Wilma. I'm off
to the golf course.
Bye, Pebbles.
Bye-Bye, dada.
Bye-Bye.
But, Fred, you haven't
finished breakfast.
Save it for me, honey.
I'll finish it when I get back.
Wait a minute, Fred.
Listen to this.
We'll be late
teeing off.
This happens
to be very important.
Okay, okay,
what is it?
Your horoscope.
Oh, boy, my horoscope.
Wilma, can't it wait?
I want to get outta here
before my boss Slate calls and--
[Ring]
Hello.
Good morning,
Mr. Slate.
Shh. Tell him I left.
Yes, he's here, mr. Slate.
Just a minute.
It's for you, Fred.
Mr. Slate.
No kidding.
Hello.
Work today?
But today's saturday,
and I'm planning to play golf.
Those are the latest
unemployment figures, huh?
Okay. I'll be right down.
What a rotten break.
My whole day is spoiled.
Don't be upset,
Fred.
According to
your horoscope,
This is
your lucky day.
Lucky day?
Oodabbadabbay!
Oodabbadabbay?
What's that?
That's yabba-Dabba-Doo
backwards,
And that's how I feel.
Sorry to spoil
your day, Barney,
But mr. Slate insists I work
a few hours this morning.
That's okay, Fred.
I'll practice a few sh*ts
and wait for you.
We can play
in the afternoon.
Gee, Barney,
you sure you don't mind?
Think nothing
of it, pal.
Oh, thank you, Barney.
You're a real pal.
I don't get it. Why me?
How come I gotta work
on a saturday?
That's easy, Fred.
Read your horoscope.
Today is
your lucky day.
Ha ha ha. Oh, boy.
Hello, hello. Let me talk
to mr. Wasserock, please.
Go-Go Ravine calling.
Lou, baby! Ha ha!
It's Go-Go Ravine,
starmaker.
I'm calling about our new
picture, the biggest yet.
What's it called?
Quick, quick, quick!
Hercurock
and the Maidens.
Oh, yeah.Hercurock
and the Maidens.
A grabber, right?
Send me
the best actor you got.
Salary? What salary?
I'll make a big star out of him.
Isn't that enough?
[Click]
He hung up.
Gee, where will we
get an actor, boss?
That was
the last agent.
Agents. Who needs them?
Before rock pit was rock pit,
who was he?
Elroy Stonemacher,
boss.
Where'd we find
Elroy Stonemacher?
In a rock pit, boss.
So when we need another rock pit,
where do we look for 'em?
In a stonemacher, boss?
Oh! If I didn't need you
to write the scripts,
I'd-- I'd-- Ah, come on!
Where we going,
boss?
What have I
been saying?
We're goin' out
to find a new star.
Stop, sam! Stop!
Look at that guy
over there.
He's a natural,
another Hercurock.
Hey, you...
you with the broad
shoulders.
Yes?
That voice has got magic.
It's got zing.
The women will swoon.
We'll make a fortune!
Hey, fella, you want
to be a movie star?
Movie star?
Sure. Why not?
When do I start?
Oh, no. That's the trouble
with this country--
Everybody wants to be
a movie star.
No talent.
No zing-O.
So far, no luck.
We may have to
cancel the picture.
Boss, what are you
saying?
Not make a picture
this week?
Well, without a star, we--
Wait a minute!
Wait a minute!
I see a possibility.
Stop the car!
Barney,
look out!
What did you say?
What's the matter,
Fred?
Fred, you alright?
Yeah. I'm alright.
Lucky it landed
on my head.
Did you see that?
He's beautiful!
Write it down.
We'll use it in the film.
Right, boss.
Gee, Fred,
you saved my life.
Oh, it was nothing.
Nothing, he says!
That was beautiful, baby!
Could you do it
again?
What are you
talking about?
Listen to that.
Star quality, right?
He won't
cost nothing, either.
Indefinable magic,
right?
Zing-O, boss.
So, sam, once again
it happens.
A star is born.
Hey, new star,
what's your name?
Flintstone.
Fred Flintstone.
Who are you?
Be careful, Fred.
These two guys have
flipped their fern.
Make out a contract
for Flintstone,
Also known as...
what contract?
What are you
talking about?
Shh! I'm thinking.
Also known as...
stone pit.
Mervin Marblehead.
Chip Chunk. Sam Shale.
What am I saying?
That's my name.
Wait a minute.
I got it.
Rock Quarry.
Ain't that
a zinger, sam?
I hear the money
in the register now!
Hey, humor them, Fred.
They may be dangerous.
Here ya go, sweetheart.
Sign your legal name for the last time.
Uh...the last time?
Please, rock,
sign.
I want to start sh**ting
right away.
Sh-Sh-sh**ting?
Barney, I think
we're in trouble.
Yeah, let's rush them,
Fred.
Before you start
sh**ting,
Let's--
Sam: hey!
Alright, wise guy!
Why do you want to sh**t
an unimportant guy
like me?
Modesty. I like that.
Being a movie star
ain't gonna spoil you, rock, baby.
My name ain't
Rock Baby, and...
movie star?
So what have we been talking
all this time,
Chopped seaweed?
Of course
movie star!
That's Go-Go Ravine.
You must have seen
his pictures.
Go-Go Ravine,
the big producer!
Gee, I'm sorry,
mr. Ravine.
I thought
you were a crook.
Ha ha ha ha!
I always knew
I should have been an actor.
You want to make me
a movie star?
That's right.
Here. Put this wig on.
Anything you say,
Mr. Ravine.
How do I look?
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
I'm asking you, sam,
Isn't he the best Hercurock
we've ever had?
We'll make
a million dollars!
Congratulations,
Flintstone--
I mean
Rock Quarry.
You're the new
Hercurock!
Hercurock!
Fred Flintstone
is Hercurock?
He's a natural.
Like my horoscope says,
Barney--
It's my lucky day!
Yabba-Dabba-Doo!
The new Hercurock?
Fred?
Yep. I was there.
Fred's gonna be
a genuine movie star.
Look at him.
What a physique.
Would you girls
like my autograph now
Before the rush?
Hold it, Herc.
As your manager,
I insist we don't
give nothing away.
I've got big plans
for us.
Right, colonel Barn.
Gee, it's all
so unbelievable.
I don't know why
you say that, Wilma.
You were the one
who read my horoscope.
Today was my lucky day,
remember?
Yes, but I never expected one
of those things to come true.
Here you are, Fred.
Ha ha!
I mean Hercurock.
Barney:
hold it, Fred.
What's the idea,
Barney?
You're not eating.
That old camera puts on 10 pounds.
Right, star?
Right, manager.
I've got to watch out
for my boy here.
We've gotta get some weight
off him by monday.
Yes. I got to
look good for my public.
Right. You got to
stay in shape.
I got appointments
set up at the gym,
The steam room,
and the track.
What about
your job, Fred?
Oh,
I quit that.
Fred,
you didn't!
You still don't
understand, Wilma.
I'm a movie star now.
I don't have to work.
How's this
for an idea, Fred?
Right after the movie opens,
we have this dance contest--
Rock with Hercurock.
Brilliant,
brilliant, Barney,
But how about
a 5-Minute rest?
No. Not a chance.
Creek Douglas does this
every morning.
You're gonna love being
a movie star, Fred.
We're going to
have a ball!
On to the steam room!
Now, this is
more like it.
Oh, boy, am I b*at.
More steam, please.
Don't relax
too much, Fred.
Your trainer
will be here any minute.
My what?
Your trainer.
All movie stars have trainers.
Gee, don't you ever
go to the movies?
This guy couldn't punch his way
out of a cream-Puff factory.
Well, how am I doing?
Terrible, but cr*ck Palance
didn't look so good
When I started with him,
either.
Alright,
start skipping rope.
Maybe it'll take off
some of that blubber.
Oh ho!
This is a cinch.
I used to do this
when I was a kid.
Alright, fatso.
Up on your feet.
I'll get you in shape.
I get 'em all in shape.
Couldn't make a fight picture
without me.
But this isn't
a fight picture.
It's called Hercurock
and the maidens.
Hercurock
and the Maidens, huh?
Who you playing?
I'm playing Hercurock!
Who do you think I'm playing?
You could have fooled me
with that hair.
Okay, Herc. Here we go with
the medicine ball. Catch.
Got it.
Yeow!
Get it off!
Get it off!
Fred, for pete's sake, get up.
It's bad for your image.
Oh, boy.
I don't like this
whole setup, Betty.
Something's phony about it,
don't you think?
Yeah. I--
They start sh**ting tomorrow.
Why here in Bedrock?
Why no script?
Why no mention of salary?
- Well, I think--
- I love my husband,
But if I were a movie producer,
and on the level,
- Would I pick Fred?
- No, but--
Of course, maybe
I'm just jealous.
Maybe I'm thinking
Of all those beautiful starlets
he'll meet.
- Yeah, but--
- But I won't let Fred know.
That'd be the worse
thing I could do, right?
- Yes, I think--
- I'll fight fire with fire.
When Fred comes home
tonight,
I'll look
absolutely gorgeous,
I'll make him feel like he's living
with a movie star.
Say, that's not
a bad idea--
Thanks for talking
with me, Betty.
I feel so much better.
It really helped.
Ha ha! I didn't even
say a word.
[Sniff]
Mmm. That smells good.
Barney: Easy does it, buddy.
You're home now.
Fred: Goodnight, Barney.
Wilma?
Fred, darling,
you're home.
What a workout.
Must have lost
10 pounds today.
Oh, too tired to eat.
Goodnight,
Wilma.
Well, of all
the nerve!
He didn't even
notice me!
Goodnight, Rock!
Ooh!
Fred, dear,
breakfast is ready.
Be right
with you, honey.
There. Now I look like a chip off
the old Hercurock.
Come on, Fred. Your eggs
are getting cold.
Coming, Wilma.
[Arr arr arr arr]
What's that chair doing
in the middle of the floor?
What's wrong with
you, Fred?
That's not a chair.
That's Dino.
Dino? Oh.
Heh heh.
Sorry, fella.
[Arr arr arr]
Dada. Dada. Dada.
Well, good morning,
sweetheart.
How's my little
pebbly-Poo today?
Want to give daddy
a big kiss?
[Smack]
There. How's that,
sweetheart?
[Arr]
My little Pebbles
sure loves me.
That was Dino
again, Fred.
Why don't you take those
dark glasses off?
Take 'em off? With all my fans
waiting to mob me?
What fans? There's not
a soul outside.
There will be.
Well, I gotta run.
But Fred, you haven't had
your breakfast.
Can't. Camera puts on
10 pounds, you know.
Honey, aren't you
forgetting something?
Oh, boy, am I a dope.
Thanks for
reminding me, Wilma.
Ah. There it is.
Wouldn't want to
start a new career
Without my ballrock
pen so I can sign autographs.
Bye, dear.
I'm late now.
Good-Bye,
Hercurock.
Gee, Barney,
I'm awful nervous.
Think I'll do
alright?
Sure, you will. Just keep
saying to yourself,
"I'm Hercurock.
I'm Hercurock."
I'm Hercurock.
I'm Hercurock.
Oh, that's great,
Fred.
Spoken like
a real movie star.
Where is he?
Where is he?
He's late.
Believe me,
if was paying him,
I'd report him
to the actors guild.
Here he is now,
boss.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Shall we begin?
Rock, sweetheart!
Ha ha! My star is here.
You're
a little late, baby.
Time is money, right?
Make-Up! Wardrobe!
Camera! Start! Start!
We're three minutes
behind schedule!
What's this?
Your Hercurock costume.
Okay, sweetheart. Scene one--
Meet the Maidens. Ready?
I'm always ready
for the maidens.
Ha ha!
Yeow!
Open the cage!
Let the maidens out!
Okay, Hercurock,
stop the pterodactyl maidens
From carrying
you away.
Pterodactyl maidens?
Hey, wait a minute!
Help! Put me down!
Help! Help!
Great, Hercurock,
great!
You're doing fine,
baby!
They're trying to take you
to their queen, you see?
You've gotta stop them.
Could I see a script,
please? I don't know how!
Great scene, boss.
Heart,
lots of heart!
Thank you, Sam.
But I was lucky.
The girls
were good today.
Now, in this scene, you'll
really have a chance to act.
Just keep your hands
against that wall and emote.
Like this?
Right. Remember,
you're Hercurock.
But what am I
supposed to be doing?
I'll let you
know.
Boy, acting is really a cinch.
Nothin' to it!
Okay, Sam, baby,
roll 'em!
Let the wild
elephants out!
Now, start acting, Herc.
Hold up that wall.
Stop those
wild elephants.
Wild elephants?
What wild elephants?
Cut, Sam, cut!
Let's take that
again.
Cut. Cut!
Rock, baby, already
with the temperament?
You got to do it
your way?
The script says the elephants charge.
You stop them.
What's the problem?
I don't think the elephants
have read the script.
You just relax,
baby.
Hercurock isn't
in the next scene.
That's good. Because
I couldn't make it.
Boy, I--I--
[Snoring]
Alright.
Next sh*t.
The three-Headed
brontosaurus
Challenges
the giant lizard.
So where's my three-Headed
brontosaurus?
Here you are, boss.
A three-Headed brontosaurus.
Who's the genius that hired
two men to make three heads?
You, boss. We thought you'd
save money, remember?
[Snoring]
Sam, are you thinking what
I'm thinking?
I'm way ahead of you, boss.
Bring him over.
Just relax, Rock.
This will be
real easy.
[Fred snoring]
You're a real
genius, boss.
He never missed
a snore.
Okay. Roll 'em!
Let the giant lizard
loose!
Rawrrr!
Rawrrr!
Rawrrr!
Beautiful! Beautiful!
Now att*ck.
Rawrrr!
Yeow!
Yeow!
Yeow!
Boy, these are good
hors d'urvies, Wilma.
That's not all.
Here comes
the cake.
Oh, it's beautiful,
Wilma.
Barney: "congratulations
to our star."
That's a nice touch.
I'm using
psychology.
All those beautiful
starlets--
I figure they'll be
fussing over Fred,
So I have to
outfuss them.
Hi, Wilma,
hi, Barney, hi, Betty.
Is the movie star
home yet?
Hi, g*ng. Fred will
be home anytime now.
The studio
brings him home.
Boy, a real Hollyrock party
here in Bedrock.
Let's have some music.
[Music playing]
Does Fred know
he's having this party?
No. It's a surprise.
You know how Fred loves an audience.
I can't wait to see his face
when he walks in.
[Knock knock]
[Wearily] Wilma.
He's here.
Let him in, Barney.
Okay.
Okay, g*ng,
all together, now.
Surprise!
[Snoring]
You're his manager,
Barney.
You'll just have to
take the day off
And come down to
that studio with me.
[Knock knock]
Who is it?
Mr. Ravine
sent me, ma'am.
I'm to drive the star
to the studio.
But he's
still asleep.
Mr. Ravine
ain't gonna like that.
We're late already.
That was
the chauffeur.
He came
to get Fred.
Now, easy
does it, mack.
Don't worry.
We'll get you there in time.
[Snoring]
I don't know
what's going on, Barney,
But I'm sure
going to find out.
Mr. Ravine,
I've been thinking.
Maybe I ain't cut out
to be a star.
- Shh. Listen to that.
- What?
The applause!
The cheering!
The kids screaming
for your autograph!
Where? I don't hear them.
The women swooning
when you walk past.
Such a noise they're making
for you, Rock.
You!
Yeah, yeah.
I can hear them now.
You're not gonna let them down,
are ya, baby?
All those women
Waiting to see your handsome
face on the screen.
You're right,
Mr. Ravine.
I cannot let
my public down.
Now that's
the spirit!
In this scene, Hercurock
makes his triumphant entry
into the city
on a chariot.
I don't know how to
drive a chariot.
Roll 'em, Sam!
Go!
Hey, wait a minute!
Slow down! Whoa!
Turn them into the gates,
Hercurock!
Turn them? How?
The reins! Pull back
on the reins!
Hey, they're sh**ting a scene
now, Wilma, see?
There's a stuntman
on a chariot.
Help! Get me off of here!
Help!
That's no stuntman.
That's Fred! Yoo-Hoo!
Fred!
Wilma! Barney!
Save me!
Fred, look out!
Great! Great!
But we do it again with a
little more zing-O this time.
Oh, no, we don't.
We quit.
Quit? You can't quit.
We're not finished.
Well, I am.
Barney, you're my manager.
Tell him!
Yeah. He says he quits now,
Mr. Ravine.
But he can't.
The big scene is next.
Look at this script.
[Mumbling]
Dancing girls?
Let him quit,
Mr. Ravine.
I'll double
for him.
Barney, you don't know what
you're saying.
This job
is m*rder!
It's okay, Fred.
You're my friend.
What do you say,
Mr. Ravine?
With a wig, no one will know
the difference.
Okay. You're Hercurock.
Oh, Hercurock. We think
you're wonderful.
[Smack]
[Smack smack]
Thank you,
sl*ve girls.
Cut.
Okay. Let's do it
again, Hercurock.
Delighted, Mr. Ravine.
[Smack]
[Smack smack]
Some friend.
Rickin', rackin',
fraggsin', briggin',
Cussastudda...
And to think
that all the time
Fred was worked
to death,
I was worried
about starlets.
And now Barney
wants to be an actor.
Ha ha ha ha!
What a couple
of hams.
Fred's lucky Mr. Slate
gave him his job back.
Well, there were
certain conditions.
Oh? What?
There's one of them.
[Betty reading]
Here you are, lady.
Ooh! Thank you,
Mr. Hercurock!
Don't forget me,
Hercurock!
I'm next
here's my book.
Take it easy, folks.
I got a whole lunch hour.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Flintstones,
meet the Flintstones
They're the modern
stone age family
From the town of Bedrock
They're a page
right out of history
Someday, maybe Fred
Will win the fight
Then that cat will stay out
For the night
When you're
With the Flintstones
Have a yabba-Dabba-Doo time
A dabba-Doo time
We'll have a gay old time
We'll have a gay old time
Wilma!
