Come on, Doozy, get your cracker.

whoosh

Start the car, Barney.

screech

Out of that car. Out! Out!

Hey, uh, don't be rough with him, Fred.

Now, get in that cave.

Okay, Barney, let's go!

[grunts]

[theme song]

[squawking]

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 ??

[birds chirping]

[snoring]

[mailman whistling]

(male 1) 'Mailman.'

swish

[Dino barking]

For Mrs. Flintstone, Dino.

[barking]

thud thud thud

Wilma, here's Dino with a letter.

Probably just a bill.

That's all we seem to get.

[sighs] Thank you, Dino.

You can stop with the tail now.

[panting]

We sure get the wettest mail in town, Betty.

[chuckles]

Who's it from?

Oh, it's a birthday card from mama.

She never forgets.

Aww. Will Fred remember what day this is, Wilma?

Fred never forgets my birthday.

'Isn't that nice?'

You see, my birthday falls on the same day

as the big annual lodge meeting.

Oh, yeah, the big secret meeting

of The Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes.

That's it.

When the mystic imperial Poohbah visits Bedrock.

So Fred doesn't dare forget my birthday.

Or else he might have trouble

getting to the meeting, huh, Wilma?

Right, Betty. Nothing but trouble.

Well, Wilma, look. The vacuum cleaner.

(Wilma) 'Oh! Oh, no. It's going to sneeze.'

[panting]

(Betty) 'Hold it's nose, Wilma.'

Aacchoo!

Oh, dear! Too late, Wilma.

'Yeah.'

[coughing]

When the fallout stops, I'll have to clean

the whole house again.

Thanks for the help, Betty.

Now I can get this cake baked before Fred gets home.

What do you think he'll give you, Wilma, huh?

Uh, just one minute, Betty.

"Add one egg." Okay, one egg coming up.

[grunts]

tic tic tic

There. Okay, Betty.

Have you any idea what your present will be, Wilma?

No, but I told Fred

I don't want anything like last year.

He gave me a bowling ball carrying case.

What could you do with that?

Let Fred use it. What else?

What a present.

So I told Fred, "Some wives have everything.

"They're hard to buy for.

But I'm a cinch. I have nothing."

What did Fred say?

'He said he'd really shop around'

'and get me something different.'

[chuckles] Anything would be different

from a bowling ball case.

Well, whatever it is, I'll like it.

Just so long as it's not from that sporting goods store.

They sure have nice sporting goods here, Barney.

Hey, uh, let's go, Fred. I'm tired of window shoppin'.

Barney, I can't go home

without a present for Wilma's birthday.

If I do, she won't let me go to the lodge meeting.

Oh, okay. Let's pick out somethin' here.

(Barney) 'Uh, boxing gloves, barbells'

'12-pebble shotgun, set of matched golf clubs'

'sport fishing outfit.'

No, no, no.

They're all swell gifts

but I wanted to get her somethin' different this year.

Uh, jewelry would be different, Fred.

Jewelry?

Any husband who can't think of a present for his wife

always falls back on jewelry.

Because husbands have no imagination

wives get jewelry all the time.

Yeah, that's right, Fred.

Hey, but the, the wives are pretty good sports about it.

I never heard one complaint about getting jewelry.

Well, jewelry is out. I only got five bucks.

(male 2) 'Psst. Hey, bud.'

- Come here. - 'Uh, y-you mean m-m-me?'

Yeah, you. I got somethin' to show you.

Well, uh, uh, wh-what do you want to show me?

It's in the bag.

Uh, wh-wh-what's in the, in the bag?

Take a gander.

'The only one of its kind.'

Hey, uh, Fred, what is it?

Just a dodo bird.

Not just a dodo. He's a doozy dodo.

[laughing]

(Fred) 'A doozy dodo?'

Yeah. Doozy dodos can talk.

Hey, uh, don't let him kid you, Fred.

Dodo birds can't talk.

Uh, yeah, yeah. Dodos can't talk.

This one can and he's yours for five bucks.

Hey, Barney, that's it!

Wilma's present.

(Barney) 'Oh, you gotta be kidding, Fred.'

No, no. This is perfect.

It's just the unique gift I've been looking for.

Why, there isn't a wife in town

with a talkin' dodo bird.

Well, that's for sure, Fred.

If he can talk, you sold yourself a bird, mister.

Okay, Doozy, say, uh, Fred and Barney.

Ra-a-a, Fred and Barney. Ra-a-a.

You hear that, Barney? He knows us already.

Hey, uh, he's pretty smart for a dodo bird.

I'll take him, mister.

Ra-a, I'll take him, mister, r-a-a.

Boy, wait till Wilma sees Doozy.

She'll love it.

He's sure a nice present, Fred, uh, I guess.

He sure is.

I'm glad we stopped and had him gift wrapped.

Just think, a real talking dodo.

Oh, Wilma will be mad about him.

screech

That sounds like Fred's car now.

- It is Fred's car. - I'll go out the back way.

No. Stay right here, Betty.

You're gonna see my birthday present.

Oh, I'd love to, Wilma.

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Oh, Fred, you shouldn't have.

I got the same feeling. He shouldn't have.

I hear something moving.

I just can't guess what it could be.

I'll lay a million to one on that.

What's Wilma's present, Barney?

[indistinct whispering]

You're kidding.

Honest. Cross my heart. It's a doozy.

A doozy dodo?

Oh, opening the package

is almost as much fun as seeing the present.

More fun in this case, I venture to say.

Barney, shh!

Well, here goes.

[squawking]

Happy birthday! Yabba dabba doo.

[squawking]

clang

You don't like it?

What's to like about a dusty, old dodo bird?

But, Wilma, that's a genuine doozy dodo.

(Wilma) 'Who needs it?'

(Fred) 'A doozy dodo is a dodo that talks.'

(Wilma) 'There's no such thing as a talking dodo bird.'

Honest there is. He says my name and everything.

[sobbing]

Really, Wilma. It is a talking dodo.

Uh, Fred figured it would be company

for you around the house.

Uh, yeah, yeah. That's right, honey.

Well, I still don't believe it.

Let me hear him talk.

Okay, where did he get to?

Here, Doozy. Here, Doozy.

(Barney) 'Uh, there he is, Fred, on the table.'

Oh, yeah. Now, listen to this, Wilma.

Hiya, Doozy boy.

Tell 'em who I am, kid.

Ah, he's thinkin' it over.

You see, he only met me once, you know?

(Fred) 'Here it comes.'

He's opening his mouth.

[squawks]

[Wilma and Betty laughing]

He said it so plain.

Ooh, yeah. Fred Flintstone.

[laughs] He's a doozy alright.

Alright, alright, laugh if you want to but this bird talks.

Ow!

(Wilma) 'Oh and he bites, too.'

[laughs] Oh, dear.

I never had so much fun out of a present before.

(Fred) 'This bird has got to go.'

Oh, no, he doesn't, Fred Flintstone.

He stays.

I want everyone who comes into this house

to see the kind of birthday present

my husband gave me.

But, b-b-but, Wilma--

And he'll remind you, Fred

not to buy me any more nutty presents.

Argh! I wonder how you'd taste barbecued.

Fred, leave my bird alone.

(Fred) 'Okay, okay.'

You better start yakkin' it up or I'm in big trouble.

(Barney) 'Are my horns on straight, Betty?'

Oh, they're fine.

Uh, Barney, I hope you come home

right after the lodge meeting tonight.

Well, it's our most important meeting.

The Grand Poohbah will be there

to give us the exalted word.

Our leader will draw back the veil

to reveal the ancient mysteries

of water buffaloery

and then we retire to contemplate.

Contemplate what?

Contemplate a table full of pizza pies

and brontosaurus burgers.

[laughing]

Big deal.

Uh, go on. Fred must be waiting.

And have fun.

[chuckling]

Hiya, Wilma. My brother Water Buffalo ready yet?

Almost, Barney. I'll tell him you're here.

Oh, don't bother, Wilma.

I'll summon Fred with the Water Buffalo cry of distress.

Ya-a-a-ooh!

[growling]

O-oh-o-oh!

toing

Dino, stop that.

(Wilma) 'Bad Dino.'

Bad Dino.

Chewing on Barney's hat.

Bad Dino.

I'm sorry, Barney

but Dino thinks these lodge hats

are some kind of strange animal.

(Fred) 'Say, what's all the racket?'

What's going on out there?

Oh, no!

No, Dino. It's me, Fred!

Oh, Dino, no. Stop that.

Down, Dino, down. Heel, boy! Heel! Heel!

Bad, bad, Dino, let go of Fred's hat.

Now, get back to your corner, Dino.

(Wilma) 'Bad, Dino. Bad, bad, Dino.'

[growls]

Getting past Dino with these hats

is like being initiated into the Water Buffaloes all over again.

But it's worth it, Fred. They're a great bunch.

Uh, watch it, t-the light's turning.

(Fred) 'I see it.'

screech

Hey, uh, these traffic lights have only one flaw, Fred.

What's that?

Whenever a monkey burns his finger

he quits the job.

[monkey shrieks]

[monkey yelping]

Well, that's another traffic light out of order.

[indistinct chatter]

Boy, it looks like all the Water Buffaloes

showed up tonight, Fred.

Yeah, he he.

They want to hear what the Grand Poohbah has to say.

Hey, look, Fred.

(Barney) 'The curtain's goin' up.'

(male 3) Welcome, brother Buffaloes.

As you know, every year we are honored by a visit

from our exalted leader.

[crowd cheering]

Okay, okay, and here he is.

[instrumental music]

(male 3) 'The Grand Poohbah.'

- There he is, Barney. - Yeah, our leader.

Greetings, brother Water Buffaloes.

I, the exalted Grand Poohbah

decree that all Water Buffaloes

shall gather for a three-day convention

next weekend at Frantic City.

[cheering]

On the boardwalk at Frantic City!

Hooray!

Barney, the girls won't let us go away for three days.

Oh, gee, you're right, Fred.

Especially to Frantic City.

Now, some of your wives might not cooperate

by letting you go for three days.

- You ain't kiddin'! - Oh, yeah, that's right!

But everyone is going.

Good old doc will call

on each and every member

and he will prescribe

a, uh, three-day rest

away from home.

(in unison) Yabba dabba doo!

To the convention we will goo.

Eh, goo, goo, goo.

Well, old banana snoot

this weekend, we'll be taking off for Frantic City.

You said it, Fred.

Strolling the boardwalk

tickling people with our buzz canes.

[laughs]

Now, don't forget.

Doc will be at my place tomorrow night at 7:00.

So he can send us away for our health.

Our health.

[laughing] That's a laugh!

[chuckles] Nobody gets healthy at a convention.

[laughing]

The boys must have had a good meeting last night.

Yeah. They came home laughing and giggling.

When I asked Fred what happened

he said it was a lodge secret.

[chuckles] How silly.

Say, Wilma, that dodo is sort of cute.

In an off-beat kind of way.

Has he said anything yet?

No. Imagine Fred thinking a dodo could talk.

See you later, Doozy.

I feel guilty about being over here again this evening, Wilma

but Barney insisted.

Fred kept wondering when Barney was coming over.

It looks like those two are up to something.

It sure does.

It's almost time for doc to arrive, Barney.

Is he a real doctor, Fred?

No. Doc's a nickname. He's really a plumber.

I hear he's been doing a good job

springing the boys for the convention

at Frantic City.

(Doozy) 'Ra-a-a! Convention.'

[squawking]

Barney, that bird just talked.

Well, that's good, Fred.

It's bad. He said convention.

(Barney) 'Yeah. That's a pretty big word for a bird, Fred.'

Oh, you numbskull.

If he says that word in front of the girls, we're ruined.

Hey, maybe, maybe you're mistaken, Fred.

Oh, boy, I hope so.

R-a-a. Doc is a plumber. Ra-a.

Convention. Frantic City. Ra-a.

Barney, we got to lose this bird somewhere.

We haven't time.

The doctor should be here any minute.

- We're sunk. - 'No, Fred. I got an idea.'

We'll feed Doozy some dry salt crackers.

Crackers?

Hey, did you ever try to talk

while eating dry salt crackers, Fred?

Hey, yeah.

Hey, uh, Doozy want a cracker?

Ra-a-a. Doozy want a cracker.

Doozy want a cracker.

[squawking]

chomp chomp chomp

Ooh, he loves 'em, Fred.

Hey, uh, Doozy want a cracker?

[squawks]

Ra.

Hey, works real good, Fred, uh.

Great, great. Keep feedin' him.

The doc will be here any second.

ding-dong

Dr. Ben Casement?

Uh, yeah, from the Water Buffalo Lodge's

uh, health plan.

I'm, uh, here to give, uh, Fred

his, uh, free medical checkup.

Free checkup? Well, the price is right.

Be my guest, doctor.

Oh, Fred.

(Wilma) 'The doctor from the lodge is here.'

Okay, Wilma. Hey, come on, Barney.

Leave the whole box with Doozy.

Okay, Fred.

[squawks]

[squawks]

I'm glad Dr. Casement

is giving Barney a checkup, too, Wilma.

Fred's been needing one for a long time.

Oh, here comes the doctor now.

How do they check out, doctor?

Well, I'm afraid they, uh, both have it.

- '"It?"' - Have what, doctor?

A bad case of, uh, dippy-doodlitis.

(in unison) Dippy-doodlitis?

Yeah.

You, uh, must have heard, uh, dippy-doodle will get

you if you don't watch out.

- It sounds familiar. - Is it catching?

(Ben) 'Uh, it ain't dangerous'

'if, uh, patients get a three-day rest'

'away from home, uh, by themselves.'

They, uh, must have caught it at the lodge meetin'.

All the Water Buffaloes have it.

Uh, goodnight, ladies.

Dippy-doodlitis, my foot.

It's got to be a gag.

[Fred and Barney groaning]

- Look, Wilma. - I see them.

Does it hurt much, boys?

Only when we breathe.

We, we have to get away

for three days.

- Doctor's orders. - Yeah, we know.

Uh, Doc Casement gave us the bad news.

Oh. Struck down in our prime.

We'll give it a good fight, buddy boy.

(Barney) 'Right.'

What do you suppose it's all about, Wilma?

I don't know, but let's go along with it.

Something will give them away.

It always does.

[laughing]

Smooth, uh, Barney?

Yep. They don't suspect a thing.

Ra-a-a. Frantic City. Frantic City. Ra-a.

whoosh whoosh

Hey, uh, Doozy ate up all the crackers, Fred.

Well, get some more and get the car started.

We got to ditch this gabby bird.

Hey, this ought to be far enough, Fred.

We've gone a 100 miles.

Okay, Barney. Stop the car.

screech

Come on, Doozy. Get your cracker.

swish

whoosh

Start the car, Barney.

screech

Out of that car. Out. Out.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be rough with him, Fred.

Now, get in that cave.

thwip

thud

Okay, Barney. Let's go.

[squawks]

I couldn't get a word out of Fred

about where they went last night.

Mm, and when I asked Barney

he just groaned and went to bed.

They're almost ready to leave

and we still don't know what the deal is.

(Fred) 'Hey, girls.'

We're ready to go.

Goodbye, Fred.

Get a good rest.

[groaning]

Goodbye, Barney.

[groaning]

Goodbye, girls, and don't worry.

We'll, we'll pull through.

Wilma, we must be out of our minds

to let them go gallivanting for three days.

It's my fault, Betty.

I thought something would turn up to expose their scheme.

Wilma, look.

[squawks]

(Wilma) 'It's Doozy. He's exhausted.'

[squawks]

thud

(Betty) 'He must have been walking all night.'

(Wilma) 'I'll take him in and give him some food and water.'

There. How do you feel now, Doozy?

[squawking]

Frantic City.

Wilma, he talked.

Yes, he really is a talking dodo.

And did you hear what he said?

It sounded like "Frantic City."

He must have heard it somewhere.

Well, let's find out what else he's heard.

(Betty) 'Come on, Doozy. Say something.'

Ra-a. Ra-a. Frantic City.

We know that one. Let's have another.

Ra-a-a. Doctor is a plumber.

Doctor is a plumber. Ra-a-a.

(Doozy) 'Convention. Convention. Frantic City.

[Doozy squawking]

Frantic City. Frantic City.

Ra-a-a. Yabba dabba doo.

Convention. Three days.

[squawking]

So that's it, Betty.

A three-day convention at Frantic City.

Yeah, and without us, Wilma.

Hello. Mrs. Stonewall?

Did your husband leave this morning for three days?

Bad case of dippy-doodlitis, eh?

Well, Mrs. Stonewall, I have news for you.

Frantic City, huh?

Well, I'll get in touch with the other wives

and when we all get to Frantic City

it'll be a lot more frantic.

Here comes the bus, Betty.

It didn't take the wives long to get organized.

Ra-a-a. Organized.

All aboard for Frantic City.

Frantic City, here we come.

Ra-a. Frantic City. Frantic City.

[squawking]

Well, here we are, Barney boy

on the boardwalk at Frantic City.

By the shores of the Blue Frantic.

[both laughing]

Great convention town, this one.

Right, Fred.

And we better get over to the convention hall

and get a good seat.

We don't want to miss that opening ceremony.

Well, what's that, Fred?

'Well, there's this big cake'

'and out of it come all the bathing beauties'

'from the beauty pageant'

all waving their national flags.

Well, uh, let's go, Fred.

I love to see flags waving.

[Barney laughing]

Sorry, this is the rear entrance

to the Water Buffalo Convention Hall.

No ladies allowed.

Uh, we heard some ladies were allowed.

Oh, well, they're just the bathing beauties

for the big cake.

[chuckles] Uh, they don't count.

Bless their little hearts.

(Wilma) 'Well, they count with us.'

- 'Oh, no.' - 'Get out..'

[screaming]

Those beauties got out of the cake

sooner than they expected.

They had lots of help.

[laughing]

Welcome to Frantic City, brother Buffaloes.

We will open the convention with our traditional ceremony.

Cuttin' the convention cake.

Yabba dabba doo!

Yip, yip, yip, yippee.

Boy, have we got good seats, Barney.

Yes, sir. The very first row.

And I know you're not as interested

in the frosting as you are in the filling.

[laughing]

We need two brother Buffaloes

to lift the top layer off the cake.

How about you two?

- That's us, Barn. - Oh, boy.

We get to see the bathing beauties close up.

Okay, bathing beauties.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Dippy-doodlitis, eh?

whoosh

Hi, Betty. Eh, oh, boy.

whoosh

Come on, Barney, under the boardwalk.

(Barney) Hey, good idea, Fred. Under the boardwalk.

- I wonder where they went. - They've disappeared.

Under the boardwalk. Under the boardwalk.

Hey, that sounds like Doozy snitchin' on us.

He's more like a stool pigeon than a dodo.

Head for the water, Barney.

splash

- Now where are they? - I don't know, Wilma.

I lost sight of them, too.

Ra-a. Head for the water, Barney.

Ra-a. Head for the water.

(Wilma) 'Thanks again, Doozy.'

- Do you see them, Betty? - No, I don't.

(Betty) 'Just their hats floating on the water.'

(Wilma) 'They're both good underwater swimmers'

but they have to come up sometime.

And we'll be right here waiting for them.

How long can we stay underwater, Fred?

I don't know.

But if we're smart we'll set a new world's record.

(Doozy) 'Ra-a. Set a new world record.'

'Ra-a. Frantic City.'

Ra-a-a. Convention.

Ra-a! Yabba dabba doo!

[squawks]

[theme song]

? 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!
