Post by bunniefuu »

Hurry up, Barney!

Last one in's
a pterodactyl egg!

Aah!

I'm all ready, Freddy.

H-H-Help!

Save me!

[Barking]

It's Dripper.
What are you doin' here?

Never mind the interview!
Tell him to stop!

I'm gettin' seasick!

You're gettin' seasick?

No!
Now I'm gettin' airsick!

Call him off!
Call him off!

Here, Dripper!

[Barking]

Help!

[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

[Honking]

Let's go here!

What's the holdup?

Get goin'!

This is your
air traffic watch

reporting the latest
sunday driving conditions.

If you're hoping to get somewhere
on the Bedrock freeway--

Ha ha-- You should only
live so long.

This joker lays more eggs
than any bird in Bedrock.

Come on, you slowpoke,
move it!

I said, move it!

Hey!

[Coughing]

Ha ha ha ha!

You got your way.
He moved it.

Sunday driver!

Poor, Fred.
Relax, dear.

It doesn't matter what time we
get to Oceanrock Aquarium.

[Babbling]

Not only fishes,
Pebbles.

You and bamm-Bamm
are going to see

that famous
performing seal.

Yeah, Dripper
the sealosaurus.

You hear that,
Bamm-Bamm?

You're going
to see Dripper.

Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam!

Ow! Can't you
control him, Barney?

Of course.
Cut it out, Bamm-Bamm.

You want to bust
your new club?

Clubs don't grow
on trees.

Come to think of it,
they do.

I don't know
which is worse--

You
or this freeway.

Why don't we take
a vote? Ha ha!

It's the exit, Fred!

You missed
the Oceanrock exit.

Gee, Fred,

Those new brakes
work good.

Yeah, they really grip
the road.

Adults $2.00.
Children 50 cents.

O.K., Wilma,
you know what to do.

Oh, Fred,
do we have to?

Yeah. Now, go buy
the tickets.

Two adults
and four children.

That's four
children's tickets?

Right.

Come on, children.

[Babbling]

Da da.

Da da.

Ga ga, dodo.
Saving 3 dollars.

Ga ga. Goo goo goo.
Cheapskate.

Those two look
awfully old for kids.

Yes, I know.
They worry a lot.

Oh.

That's four children's
tickets and two adults.

Thank you.

Looks like
we got away with it.

A penny saved
is a penny--

What's the big idea?

[Baby voice]
I mean, goo goo.

Da da da da.

He's puttin' the squeeze
on us, Fred.

We got to buy
adult tickets.

I'd say it's more
of a sh-Shakedown!

[Thud]

If there's anything
I can't stand,

It's a company
octopusaurus.

If there's anything
I can't stand,

It's a penny pincher.

If there's anything
I can't stand,

It's a people pincher.

Dripper.
Dripper.

That's right, Pebbles,
Dripper.

And he's going to do
all his tricks for us.

15 minutes
till his next show.

We have time
to see the other fish.

How about startin' off
with the barracookies?

Or what about
the pickled herrings?

Heh heh.
I'll pickle you.

Come on.

There he is, Blinky.

Where?

Hey! Watch it, mister!

Look where you're goin'!

You nearsighted
neanderthal!

That's Dripper,

The one we're
puttin' the snatch on.

Oh. Why didn't you
say so, muscles?

I'll look with
my readin' glasses.

Yeah. He's the one,
all right.

Wonder what the boss
wants him for?

Who cares? When Mrs. Big
says to do somethin',

We do it.

Yeah. There's nothin'
like workin' for mrs. Big.

I wonder what happened
to Mr. Big?

Same thing
that'll happen to us

If we go back without
that sealosaurus.

Let's get our seats
for the show.

Right behind you,
Muscles.

Oh, it's you again.

Come on, put 'em up.

This way, Blinky.

Isn't Oceanrock
interesting?

I never realized there
were so many species.

And lots of different
kinds of fish, too.

Look at that one.

"Loan shark."

Heh heh heh.

I wouldn't like to borrow
money from him.

[Loud tapping]

What is that?

Look, Pebbles,
the swordfish are dueling.

Did you ever see
such fancy blade work?

Come on, shorty, parry.

Front. Parry.

Oh!

Oh.

What acting.

He's the hammiest fish
I've ever seen.

Hammy, eh?

What's he expect for his 2 bucks--
Marlin Minnow?

Attention, please!

Everybody to
the aqua-Stadium!

The show's about to begin.

Let's go, everybody.

We don't want to miss
Dripper.

[Pebbles]
Dripper! Dripper!

Hey, wait for me!

Uh-Oh.

"Mamie
the Mermaid."

Hey. Hey.
Hiya, Mamie.

What's a pretty doll
like you

Doin' in a t*nk
like that?

Barney?

My wife--Uh, see you around--
I mean, under...

He's cute,

But I'd rather meet
a nice, wealthy frogman.

[Trumpet fanfare]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Boys and girls,

Oceanrock proudly presents
its star attraction...

uh, Dripper!

[Cheering]

Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam!

Dripper!
Dripper!

That's right.
Here comes dwipper--

I mean, uh, Dripper.

[Giggles]

And here he is!

[Arp arp arp
arp arp]

[Plays fanfare]

Nothin' like
a modest entrance.

He's coming in
for a landing.

[Arp arp arp]

[Applause]

Huh? Huh?

How did you like
that entrance, folks?

[Lowers voice]
Very funny, showoff.

Remember, Blinky,
when the show's over,

We sneak down and stuff
dripper into this sack.

But I don't think
he'll fit.

He has
too many legs.

Legs?

Why, you stupe.

You been lookin' at a bug
on your eyeglasses.

And now, folks,

The fabulous Dripper
will perform for you

On the musical horns!

Oh, no, not that
corny old bit!

He's goin' to play
the scale.

[Dripper plays]

What did I tell you?

[Dripper plays tune]

Some scale,
eh, Fred?

Oh. He--He's
been practicing.

Hand it to him when it comes
to blowin' his own horn.

[Piano intro]

[Barney]
amazing, isn't he, Fred?

Only if you don't know
his secret.

What secret?

Those steps
he's doin'.

He's fakin'
most of it.

Heh heh heh heh.

[Applause]

[Barking]

He's great.

I wonder what he does
for an encore?

He's nearly finished,
folks.

That looks right.
Yes. Yes.

I think he's got it.

That's it!

Einstone's
theory of relativity!

[Arp arp arp]

[Barking]

What's that for,
Barney?

How else do you applaud
a seal?

Arp arp arp arp.

That concludes
the show, folks.

On the way out,
all you kiddies are invited

to stop by for one of Dripper's
personally autographed pictures.

[Arp arp arp arp]

I want one!

Let me have one!

I want an autograph!

Look at that crowd.

Yeah. Just as well.

Who cares about
Dripper's autograph?

Augraph!
Augraph!

Bam! Bam!
Bam! Bam!

Arp arp arp arp.

There's your answer,
Fred.

Heh heh heh.

O.K., Kids.

You'll get your pictures
after that crowd thins out.

Oh, gosh.
Thanks, uncle Fred.

It's fun to go places
with you.

What are we waitin' for?

Let's go grab Dripper.

In front of all
those witnesses?

Do I look like
a dumb bell?

It's hard to tell
from this distance.

Ha ha! Come
a little closer.

How's that?

Now, let's go get
something to eat.

- By the time we get back--
- I know.

We'll have Dripper
all to ourselves.

Hee hee! Let's go.

Hey!

This way!

[Arp arp arp arp]

Let mommy see,
Pebbles.

I'll have to admit,
he's a smart one.

Say "thank you,"
Pebbles.

Thank you, Pebbles.

[Gurgles]

Now it's your turn,
son.

His name's Bamm-Bamm.

B-A-M-M
B-A-M-M.

[Barks]

[Barks]

[Purrs]

Barney, looks like
you found a buddy.

He really likes you, Barney.

Sorry to break
the news to you,

but I already have
a pet named Hoppy.

It's a long ride home.

Isn't it time to go?

Yeah.
Come on, everybody.

To the parking lot.

So long, Dripper.
Thanks for the show.

[Barney]
yeah. Arp arp arp.

O.K. Here we go.

Everybody comfy?

Yes, Fred, we're fine.

How about
a little music?

The queen has spoken,
Barney.

- Turn on the radio.
- Right, Fred.

[Upbeat music plays]
[Barney] How is that?

Real good, Barney.

Here we go!

[Barking]

Hey, Barney,
cut that out.

I'm not doin' anythin'.

[Arp arp arp]

The seal imitation.
Now, stop it.

It's not me, Fred.

It must be comin' from
the radio.

It's probably
a new rock group.

[Arp arp arp]

They'll do anything
for a new sound.

The coast is clear.

We'll go back
and grab Dripper.

[Barking]

Blinky, did you see
what I saw?

No, but it sounded
like Dripper.

Yeah, and he's hitchin'
a ride with someone.

Let's follow 'em.

Quick. To the car.

Hurry up! Let's go!

Step on it!

What are we waitin' for?

We're waitin' for you
to get glasses that fit you.

It's a wonder
you can earn a living.

This isn't
my regular line.

What do you usually do?

I'm a professional spy.

Here you are, Dripper.
Here's your dinner.

Dripper?

Dripper?

He's gone!

Help! Police!

Dripper's disappeared!

Calling all cars!

Calling all cars!

Be on the lookout for
dripper the sealosaurus,

Height 3'2", weight
60 pounds dripping wet,

Brown eyes,
oily complexion.

There's a strong suspicion that dripper
may have been sealnapped.

That is all.

Hear that, keystone?

Dripper's been snatched
from Oceanrock.

From the aquarium, huh?

I'd say there's something
fishy going on.

Here we are, g*ng.
Home sweet home.

Ahh! It's been a memorable day,
hasn't it, Barney?

I haven't been
this hot and tired in years.

We need a cool dip
in the pool.

Good thinkin'.

Let's get our suits.

I'm with you,
Barney-Boy!

Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

Why don't we cool off

by putting the children
to bed?

Good idea, Wilma.

[Arp arp arp]

Hurry, Barney!

Last one in's
a pterodactyl egg!

Aah!

I'm all ready, Freddy.

H-H-Help!

Save me!

[Barking]

It's Dripper.
What are you doin' here?

Never mind the interview!
Tell him to stop!

I'm gettin' seasick!

You're gettin' seasick?

No!
Now I'm gettin' airsick!

Call him off!
Call him off!

Here, Dripper!

[Barking]

Help!

Nice to see ya, pal.

[Arp arp arp arp]

Come on, fella,
take it easy.

What'll we do
with him, Fred?

We'd make sealosaurus burgers
out of him if I had my way.

I wonder if her trainer
knows he is missing.

I'd better report it
to the police.

Keep an eye on him
while I phone headquarters.

Let's play
a little ball.

Fetch, boy.

[Arp arp arp]


[Splash]

[Barking]

O.K., Blinky,
you know what to do.

Right. While you keep
the car runnin',

I pop Dripper
into the sack.

If he gives me any back talk,
he gets this.

Ow!

I wish
you were able

to watch what
you're doin'.

Now, get goin'.

Right, Muscles.

Not that way.

That way!

[Crash]

[Arp arp arp]

Nice goin', Dripper.

Soon you'll be playin'
outfield for the Metrocks.

Heh heh heh heh!

Here goes a long fly
to center.

[Arp]

[Splash]

[Arp arp arp]

Attaboy!

Arp arp arp arp
arp.

There is he,
flappin' his flippers.

[Thud]

Gotcha!

Hey!

Cut it out, Fred!

Be quiet!

[Arp arp arp]

I said, be quiet!

[Arp arp arp]

Did you get him O.K.?

You bet, Muscles.

Good eyesight
isn't everything.

Never mind that.

Let's
get out of here.

Mrs. Big
is waitin' for us.

"Flintstone."
Here's the place.

I hope this isn't
another false alarm.

Let's go out to the pool.

Well,
where's Dripper?

Hello, officers.
You got here fast.

Thanks, Mr. Flintstone.
Where's the seal?

There,
in the pool.

All I see is water.

[Fred]
Dripper?

Dripper?

Here, Dripper!

Maybe he's under
holding his breath.

No. Honestly, officers,

Dripper was swimming here
a minute ago.

Did you see a sealosaurus
in your pool, lady?

Well, no, I didn't
see it myself,

but Fred came in
and told me.

That's enough. We're
booking your husband on a 707--

Making crank phone calls.

Whoa! Wait a minute!

I have proof.
Ask my pal Barney.

Barney?

Oh, Barney!

Well, where is
this Barney?

He was here in the pool
with Dripper.

That does it!
Come along down to the station.

Don't worry, dear.
I'll call our lawyer

And get a writ
of habeas corpus.

Never mind the habeas.

Just get my corpus
out of the clink!

You sure Mrs. Big
expects us?

Yeah. This is where she said
to deliver Dripper.

Come to think of it,
give me that!

I'm in charge
of this here crime.

Well, have you got him?

Y-Yes, Mrs. B-B-B-Big.

H-Here he is, m-M-Ma'am.

The dripper, and I'm the
one who caught him.

Good. Let's take a look
at him.

Ouch!

O.K., Betty,
I'll get up.

Dripper, eh?

Why, you blundering fool!

Ow!

Ouch!

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

Now you know
how it feels.

It's all his fault.

He grabbed this guy in the
wet suit instead of Dripper.

I hate to butt in on a family
argument, so I'll leave.

Not so fast, sonny!

We want you to stick around

and go for a nice, long ride.

But I don't want to.
I get carsick.

Sorry, but we got
to make sure

You don't squeal
to the cops.

Excuse us while
we get the car.

Oh, boy.

I don't have
riot insurance.

[Barking]

Dripper, it's you!

[Barks]

[Purring]

Never mind the reunion,
pal.

Call the police.

You know the penalty

For giving out false
information, Flintstone.

This time
I want the truth.

Honest, Dripper was
in my pool. I saw him.

You saw the seal
in your pool? You're sure?

I saw him just as plain
as the nose...

on... your face.
Heh heh heh.

A wise guy.
Throw him in the cooler.

[Ring]

Police Headquarters.

Chief Rockschnozzle
speaking.

[Barking]

Huh? Who is this?

Sounds like somebody
with larry-gitis.

[Arp arp arp arp]

It's dripper!

[Arp arp arp arp]

[Blows assembly]

Hey, that's Dripper,
all right.

I've seen his act.

Let me talk to him.

Hello, Dripper?
Have you seen Barney?

It's me. Tell the police,

They're taking me
for a ride!

Get the address.

We're coming, Barney.
Where are you?

I don't know.
I was in a sack.

Where are we, Dripper?

[Arp arp arp arp]

Oh, he's smart,
he's smart.

We're at number 13
Rocky Acres.

Number 13
Rocky Acres.

O.K.
Let's go, men.

We'll be right there.
Stay where you are.

Stay where I am.
Is he kidding?

[Siren sounding]

[Barking]

I'm sorry. I didn't
want you to be caught.

[Arp arp arp]

Very touching.

Come on.
It's time to go.

Yeah. On a one-way ride.

Anything you want
to leave behind?

Yeah. Like money,
jewelry, trading stamps.

Cut the small talk, boys.
It's time to go.

[Siren]

What's that?

O.K., in there.
Stay where you are.

This is the police.

You've found us.

Thanks to Dripper.

Round 'em all up, men.

Don't let anybody
get away.

Once I'm inside my
secret passageway,

You'll never get me!

Hey, come
back here!

He doesn't look
like Mrs. Big.

It's Dripper's trainer!

O.K., Mister,
why did you do it?

Revenge, that's why.

I was sick of playing
second fiddle to Dripper.

He took all the bows,
and I got nothing.

[Arp arp arp]

You see? Ever now he's
got to steal the scene!

[Sobbing]

Take him away, men.

I'm the brains!
I taught him everything!

He couldn't even swim!

Tsk tsk.
The poor fella.

Let's drive dripper back
to Oceanrock, Fred.

Not in my car.

I've had enough of him
and his arp arp!

[Arp arp]

Hey! Put me down!

All right, all right!
We'll drive you home!

One thing
about Dripper--

He does get
a little pushy.

[Barney]
So long, Dripper.

[Arp arp arp]

They were sure glad
to get Dripper back.

Yeah, he is a valuable animal.

Too bad he doesn't
have better manners.

Well, come on. Let's go.

Hey, that's
a funny octopus.

I'll throw him
a peanut.

No, Fred.
The sign says...

One little peanut
can't hurt him.

Mmm. Maybe there's more
where this came from.

Nice scroll
they gave me, Fred.

It says "to Barney Rubble,
hero." That's me.

"In apreciations for
returning Dripper".

Oh, big deal.

All because that goofy animal
followed you home.

Ha ha! I'm glad
it didn't happen to me.

Well, folks,
here we go again.

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!
