The Flintstones

Knit one, purl two.

Is that you, Fred?

I thought you went to the ball game.

No, I got something more important to do.

Fred, what happened? Is there a war?

No. This is a Boy Scout uniform.

I thought for a minute the Army had gotten to the bottom of the barrel.

A Boy Scout uniform?

Fred, are you all right?

You happen to be looking at the new leader...

of the Saber-toothed Tiger Patrol.

Hurray!

Pebble Street, next stop.

Boy, wait till Wilma hears what happened to me today.

Here comes Fred, Dino. Go say hello.

Oh, no!

Here, Dino, fetch the stick.

Go, fetch it, boy. Go on.

Here, Dino. Fetch the stick, boy.

Come on, Dino. Fetch the stick.

I got it.

In here, Dino.

All right, Dino, just put him down anyplace.

Ouch!

Serves you right, Fred, teasing Dino like that.

Oh, phooey.

How were things at the gravel pits today, Fred?

What did you say, Wilma?

I said, how did things go today at work?

Yes, that reminds me, you'll never guess what I got today.

- You got fired? - No.

Joe Rockhead couldn't go to the ball game tonight, and he gave me his two tickets.

Would you like to go, Wilma?

You know I don't like ball games, Fred.

Besides, why ask me? You know you're going to take Barney.

I don't fool you at all, do I, Wilma?

You keep trying. I'll give you credit for that.

I'll go over to Barney's house and tell him about the tickets.

Don't belong, dinner's almost ready.

Yes, there's a ball game That ball, ball, ball game

Going to the ball game

Look at the little guy.

He's all tuckered out after a hard day's work.

Seems a shame to wake him up.

Hey, Barney!

Hello, Fred.

Wait till you hear this, Barn. I got two tickets to the ball game...

and you and I are going for free, pal.

Thanks, Fred, but I've got another engagement.

Some other time maybe.

Some other time?

Come on, Fred, you haven't eaten a bite. Aren't you hungry?

Just living next door to a guy like that Barney...

is enough to kill anyone's appetite.

Just because Barney had a previous engagement, you have to sulk.

Previous engagement? When a guy gets a chance to go to the ball game for free...

there's no such thing as a previous engagement.

Barney's a real baseball fan.

Even on his honeymoon that guy never missed a ball game.

- Even I didn't do that. - That's right, Fred.

We spent most of our honeymoon in a bowling alley.

Boy, the things you women never let up on.

Anyway, that Barney Rubble is out as a friend as far as I'm concerned.

And the next time I see him, I am going to snub him.

Where are you going, Fred?

Over to Barney's house. I can't snub him from here.

Those two. Always have a thing going.

I'll just stand here until that Barney Rubble...

comes out for that previous engagement...

and I'll give him a snub he'll never forget.

- I'm leaving now, Betty. - Okay, Barney.

- Have you got everything? - Yup, I'm all set.

And I'm all set, too.

- Barney, what happened? - I don't know...

- but help me up, will you, Betty? - Okay.

Boy!

You're heavy with this pack on.

- Try again, Betty. - Okay.

One, two, three.

Come on, Barney. On your feet, up.

That's it.

Thanks, Betty. I'll try to get out of the house again.

- Okay, Betty, I made it. See you later. - Have a good time, Barney.

I don't get it.

All right, hold it.

Hello, Fred.

Tell me, Barney, what in the world are you supposed to be?

Fred, I didn't tell you before...

because I thought maybe you'd laugh at me.

But I'm on my way to a Boy Scout meeting.

- A Boy Scout meeting? - Yeah.

It's no laughing matter if you want to play Boy Scout...

instead of going to a ball game.

But you go ahead, pal.

You go to your Boy Scout meeting, and I'll go to the baseball game.

Gangway, please.

All together now, fellows. One, two, three.

Thanks, fellows. That's your first good deed for today.

Now I'll show you how to march with a full pack. Now watch.

Hup, two, three, four.

See how easy it is?

Company, halt!

What's going on, Barney? Who are these kids?

They're Boy Scouts, Fred. We're going on a camping trip tomorrow.

A camping trip?

Yeah. You know, their regular scoutmaster took sick...

and, well, you know I don't know nothing about Scouting.

I didn't want the kids to be disappointed, see...

- so I volunteered to take them. - You're going to be the scoutmaster?

But, well, they really need an experienced leader.

- And why, Barney, didn't you ask me? - You, Fred?

I didn't know you knew woodcraft.

Just because I don't brag all the time about the things I can do...

is no reason not to check with me.

When it comes to camping and woodcraft, I make an Indian look clumsy.

I'm a regular Daniel Boondoggle.

Gee, I didn't know that, Fred.

Hey, would you go with us tomorrow?

I will not only go with you, I will take command.

Hey, men of the Saber-toothed Tiger Patrol, did you hear that?

Fred Flintstone is going to be our scout leader.

Let's give him our Saber-toothed Tiger cheer.

One, two, three.

Hurray!

Knit one, purl two.

Is that you, Fred?

- I thought you went to the ball game. - Ball game?

No, I got something more important to do.

Fred, what happened? Is there a war?

No. This is a Boy Scout uniform.

Thank goodness.

I thought for a minute the Army had gotten to the bottom of the barrel.

Knit one, purl...

A Boy Scout uniform?

Fred, are you all right?

You happen to be looking at the new leader...

of the Saber-toothed Tiger Patrol.

Hurray!

Wilma, who are you calling?

Hello? Is this Dr. Headstone's office?

Let me speak to the doctor quick. This is an emergency.

Hold it, Wilma!

I haven't flipped my lid.

Sit down a minute. I'll explain the whole thing.

Well, all right, Fred.

There are these kids, see.

And Barney was going to take them on a camping trip...

because their leader got sick.

...and that's the story, honey.

I just couldn't let those kids down.

Fred, I'm real proud of you.

You're doing a wonderful thing.

Thanks, Wilma. I think so, too.

And now I'm going to hit the sack, because we start at the crack of dawn.

- Good night, dear. - Good night, Fred.

About face. Forward march.

Hup, two, three, four.

Well, like Mother always said:

"You never learn to understand a husband until it's too late."

Get up, Fred. It's morning.

I don't want to go to school.

Oh, dear. Come on, Fred, wake up.

Those kids will be here in a minute.

Oh, dear, there they are already.

The Saber-toothed Tiger Patrol is ready to hit the trail.

I'm sorry, Saber Tooths, but I can't seem to wake your leader up.

Hey, you better go inside and help Mrs. Flintstone, Hugo.

Okay, Mr. Rubble.

What happened? Who's this kid?

He's up now, Barney.

Hup, two, three, four.

Hey, Fred.

Don't you think we ought to rest a while? We've been marching for two hours.

What's the matter, Barney? You're out of condition?

No, I'm thinking of the kids.
