Come on, Fred, make a wish then blow out the candles.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[humming]

Wilma! Wilma!

Fred, you're home early.

Yep, I wanted to catch you before you started cookin'.

Wait till you see what I brought home for dinner.

Fred, if you think I'm gonna stuff pheasant at this hour--

It's not pheasant. And I'll do the cookin'.

'What did you buy?'

A couple of dinosaur steaks

New York cut, two inches thick.

They look a little stringy to me.

Don't be a wise guy. They're gone.

You must've left them at the butchers.

I tell ya, I had them when I came right home.

So how could I've..

- What's that? - Barney, barbecuing next door.

How could those steaks disappear?

I swear I didn't stop anywhere.

[sniffing] What's he barbecuin'?

- 'Smells like steak.' - Yeah.

And I didn't let this bag out of my sight for a sec..

Steak, did you say steak?

Oh. What a sneak!

I just put that bag down for a second.

Hiya, neighbor. How do you like these?

Couple of dinosaur steaks, two inches thick.

'Makes your mouth water, doesn't it?'

It does, does it?

Ooh! Is he gonna get a fist full of fingers in that mouth.

Okay, wise guy. Hand them over.

'Hand what over? Hey, let go of those steaks.'

(Fred) 'Okay, neighbor, you asked for it.'

bam bam bam

Fred?

I found your steaks right here on the wall.

'You owe Barney an apology.'

Yeah, say you're sorry and let me have 'em.

(Fred) 'I'm sorry and I'm gonna let you have both of 'em.'

What's that for?

'That's for the next thing you do wrong.'

It's ridiculous. That's what it is.

Two grown men acting like a couple of kids.

They haven't spoken to each other for five days.

I'm sick and tired of it.

I told Barney to go right over and make up with Fred.

- What'd he say? - 'He absolutely refused.'

'So I said, "I'm going to invite my mother'

'for a few weeks if you don't."'

[chuckles] Really, what'd he say then?

Hi, Wilma.

I'll call you back. Barney is here now.

'Hello, Barney.'

I was just wonderin' if, uh..

Well, how's everything, Wilma?

Fine, Barney. I'll go call him.

creak creak creak

Oh, Fred! Fred, a friend of yours is here.

If his name's Barney, he's no friend of mine.

- Fred. - It's alright, Wilma.

But as long as I'm here

I'd like the return of some property of mine

which certain people borrowed

but obviously don't intend

to ever return.

I'm referring to my ladder, if I may.

Of course, Barney. Help yourself.

If he's no friend of mine, I'm no friend of his.

creak creak

You did that on purpose!

- So long, neighbor. - 'Come back, you coward.'

Betty, open the front door for a coward!

I'll head him off at the pass.

Help!

thud

screech screech

Fred, are you alright?

I will be as soon as I get out of this stupid hole

and lay my hands on you.

That's not a stupid hole.

That's gonna be my swimmin' pool.

I don't care what it's gonna be.

I'm gonna sue you for..

- Swimming pool? - That's right.

Oh, boy! Swim parties, barbecues, water polo.

You know, the works.

Too bad we're not friends anymore, neighbor.

Yap, yap, yap, maybe you're not my friend

neighbor, but, uh, I'm still yours.

- What do you mean? - 'Just this.'

I'm gonna show you how you can get your pool for nothin'.

- I don't get it. - Well, it's simple. Look.

If you build half a pool

and somebody gives you the other half free

you're gettin' your half for nothin', right?

But who's givin' me the other half free?

Who, who, who, who?

Who is your bosom buddy, close pal, and lifelong friend?

How many guesses do I get?

Barney, you're lookin' right at him.

See you around, bosom buddy, close pal, and lifelong friend.

Aye! Aye! Come back here.

What's that supposed to be?

A diagram of the finished pool.

'Now, this is how it works.'

'Here's your half, and here's my half that you get free'

with a divin' board at either end.

You keep sayin' I get your half free, but it's in your yard.

Well, without my half you only got half a pool, right?

- Yeah, but.. - Alright. Alright.

Now, look at the advantages of ownin'

a pool with somebody else.

You get all the expenses, the chlorine, the filters

the pool toys, the cranophrane, the phonostein.

The what, the what, what?

(Fred) 'Cranophrane and the phonostein. The..'

'You gotta put that in every week, you know.'

- Sure. - And that all costs money.

We own the pool together, we share the cost.

- We do? - And besides all that.

I'm throwin' in this little surprise, free.

- For me? - For you, buddy.

Do it yourself pool kit.

You're one of the good ones, Fred. I'm ashamed of myself.

Some friendships are written in blood, Barney boy

'but this one is written in water.'

- Water? - Pool water, that is.

Hey, that's funny.

[laughing]

Start diggin'!

I'm diggin'. I'm diggin', Fred. Look, look, I'm diggin'.

Alright.

Well, you have to admit one thing.

They've been getting along real great

since they started this pool deal.

Oh, why not?

Barney is doing all the work.

Four thousand more buckets

and the last one in is a hot potato.

Keep up the good work, Barney boy.

'You're almost there.'

My half isn't even filled yet.

It's a big job, neighbor.

Okay, at this rate it's gonna take all day.

No, it's not. Relax, Barney. Because I'm gonna help you.

- You are? - Yep.

I'm gonna get you a bigger bucket.

[instrumental music]

- Eh, how do I look? - Oh, tres chic, sir.

You might say around the world in 80 inches.

[chuckles] Yeah, yeah. It is tres chic, alright.

Even if I say so myself.

Hey, you think it's a little tight around the middle?

Oh, no, no. Snug, perhaps, but tight, never.

You have a handsome physique, sir.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

thud

[instrumental music]

Barney should have it filled by now.

Oh, boy, swim parties, barbecues..

screech screech

All through, Barney?

Oh, last bucket, Fred.

Yahoo!

Last one in is a hot potato.

Yahoo! Wait for me!

screech screech

whoosh

whoosh whoosh

rattle rattle

thud

Out goes the bad air.

In goes the good.

We should have left them in for good.

Don't give me any ideas.

Out goes the bad air..

[instrumental music]

Oh, Wilma, when are we going shopping?

As soon as I serve His Majesty's lunch.

He's dining at the pool today.

- Oh, where's Barney? - He's trying on his gear.

- Gear? - Uh-huh.

He's going to practice spearfishing in the pool.

Spearfishing?

(Fred) 'Wilma!'

Oh, I'll be right back. I gotta go feed the fish.

Where do you want it, Fred?

Here, set it down where I can reach it.

Oh!

And remember, if you sink

don't let my best dishes go down with the ship.

[screaming]

Take me to your leader.

Barney, it's you.

Did my spearfishin' outfit scare you?

Out of my wits.

And don't scare Fred, or he'll lose his lunch and my dishes.

Hiya, Fred.

And what are you made up for?

I'm gonna practice spearfishin'.

You can't lose. You'll spear 'em or they'll die laughin'.

How does it work? And don't point that thing at me.

- I'm sorry. - 'It's loaded.'

Oops!

boing boing boing

You're making it awful tough to be good neighbors.

No use wastin' the lunch.

chomp

[instrumental music]

Hey, Charlie, how soon till quittin' time?

Any minute now, Fred.

I can't wait to hit that pool.

Oh, boy!

[siren blaring]

'And thus she blows!'

screech screech

Last one in is a..

Huh?

'Now, what?'

Hiya, Fred. Grab a shoehorn, and squeeze in.

"Squeeze in," where?

Neighbor, you and me have to have a little talk.

And who ordered this pool full of people?

They're not people. It's the YCMA.

- I'm lettin' 'em use it. - You mean the YMCA.

No, YCMA. Young Cavemen's Association.

Hey, buster, you're gettin' a little heavy.

Last week, it was the boy Scouts.

Monday, your relatives.

Tuesday, it was your club.

And last night, the bowlin' team.

[imitating Barney] "And last night, the bowling team."

When do I get to use my half of the pool?

You are forgettin', neighbor

that your half is my free half.

And I'm lettin' you use it.

You are an ungrateful ingrate.

And there's only one way to handle

an ungrateful ingrate.

[hammering]

Is this any way to treat your bosom buddy

close pal, and lifelong friend?

Barney, my boy, you're right.

This is no way to treat a bosom buddy

a close pal, a lifelong friend.

This is!

Yeaow!

Now what? We're only gone a couple of hours

we come back, and you got a spike fence up.

Well, it's simpler this way.

When he wants to use his half, he does.

And when I wanna use my half, I do.

And right now, I intend

to use my half with a fancy one-and-a-half.

whoosh

thud

- Hiya, neighbor. - Barney, what happened?

I took out my half of the water.

[instrumental music]

Why should I fill the pool for that hippopotamus next door?

Because the wife of that hippopotamus

next door happens to be my best friend. That's why.

The fence comes down because the wife

of that little sawed-off runt happens to be my best friend.

And another thing, this constant quibbling between the two of you

has got to come to an end.

Not a bad idea.

creak creak

Where's Fred?

- He's inside takin' a nap. - Oh.

I haven't seen him since D-day.

You mean "D" for down-with-the-fence day?

You know Fred, he's decided..

[imitating Fred] "That pool isn't big enough for the two of us."

Well, Barney and his buddies are sure using it.

You know big, kind-hearted Barney.

[imitating Barney] "Sure, come over, use the pool."

[imitating Barney] "Sure, come over, use the pool."

"Big, kind-hearted Barney."

Don't forget. Barney's having the bunch over tonight.

- I know. - Does Fred know?

No, but if he asks, I'll just tell him

Barney's having a pool-warming party.

"Pool-warming party?"

Wilma!

Sounds like the call of the male gripeosaurus.

- You bellowed? - I did.

I understand big, kind-hearted Barney

is havin' a pool-warming

which includes usin' my half of the pool

without my permission.

You get the message. And I've got one for you.

I don't want any trouble.

You think I'd make trouble for my bosom buddy

close friend, and lifelong pal?

Is that what you're intimatin'?

No. That's not what I'm intimating.

That's what I'm saying.

Wilma, I'm surprised at you.

Why would I make trouble for Barney

just because he's been a little unneighborly?

Just because he's a little ungrateful?

Just because he's the biggest rat I ever met?

[laughing] Don't be silly.

[telephone ringing]

Hello. Who?

It's for you, Charlie.

Tell 'em to hold it a minute, Mac.

Eight rock in the corner pocket.

He'll be right with you.

Ten rock the hard way.

Yeah? Hello, Fred. Do you a favor?

Yeah, listen. I'm playin' a gag on a neighbor.

Remember the outfit you wore at the Halloween party?

You mean the policeman's suit? Yeah. Yeah.

Bust in and give them the, uh

disturbing-the-peace routine, eh?

Yeah, no more parties

or I'll throw the book at 'em, huh? Yeah.

No. No, they won't know you.

You put on that phony mustache and the big nose.

We'll have a load of laughs.

[laughing]

[humming]

- What are you up to, Fred? - Me?

Well, what makes you say that?

I know you, Fred Flintstone.

Don't try anything funny.

I promise you, Wilma, if I try anything

it won't be funny.

Don't you realize Barney is really

the best friend you've got?

Yeah. And with him for a friend, I don't need any enemies.

knock knock knock

- See who's at the door. - I don't get it.

Why do you always have to stick up

for that knee-high gila monster?

♪ For he's a jolly good neighbor ♪

♪ For he's a jolly good neighbor ♪

Remember, this was Barney's idea.

♪ For he's jolly good bosom buddy ♪

♪ Lifelong friend and pal ♪♪

(Barney) 'Happy birthday, Freddie boy!'

[sobbing]

My buddy.

[instrumental music]

Come on, Fred. Make a wish, then blow out the candles.

Okay. Okay, let's see, I wish..

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

whoosh

[music continues]

Quiet out there!

I gotta get some sleep.

Ever since that pool went in, nobody sleeps.

[music continues]

Okay, this is all-out war.

Yes, madam, we'll take care of it.

Yes, I know, sir.

We'll quiet it down.

I know you're a taxpayer.

I know. I know. I know.

(man on radio) 'Calling car 809. Calling car 809.'

Yes, sarge?

'Investigate riot at Fifth and Stone Canyon.'

Right, sarge. Over and out. Let's go, Pete.

[siren blaring]

Yah-aah-aah!

Aah-aah-ah!

Yahoo!

Barney to the rescue!

thud

Barney is having a ball.

Looks like this pool-warming party is coming to a boil.

Alright, alright, everybody, the party's over.

Let's quiet it down, folks

or I'll have to book you on a 407

a 609 and a 33-and-a-third.

We got a dozen complaints.

- Swell job, Charlie. - Charlie?

Let's ham it up a little, eh.

So, the party's over, huh, big mouth?

Big mouth?

How would you like to take

a running 407-and-a-half into the pool?

Alright, wise guy, I'm gonna run you in.

You mean I'm gonna run you in. Into the pool, that is.

- Fred, have you flipped? - Relax, Wilma.

That's no policeman, that's my friend Charlie.

- Fred. - Yeah, Charlie?

I couldn't get the policeman's suit.

Oh. That's okay, Charlie.

Charlie?

Who, who's that in the pool?

It ain't Brigitte Bardot.

[siren wailing]

"Disturbin' the peace, resistin' arrest.

"Dunking an officer.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera."

I didn't even have a piece of me own birthday cake.

How do I get into these messes?

How?

- Fred? - Barney boy.

Oh, am I glad to see a human face.

How are you, Fred, old pal?

Oh. I'm okay, I guess.

Relax, Fred.

We'll have you out as soon as the judge sets bail.

Thanks. Thanks, old pal.

'And in the meantime..'

♪ Happy birthday bosom buddy close friend and lifelong pal ♪

Oh, Barney, Barney.

You're one of the good ones.

Thanks for bailin' me out, Barney boy.

What are neighbors for?

- Is Wilma still mad? - Eh, she'll get over it.

She gave me the bail money, didn't she?

Like you said, Fred

this friendship is written in water.

Pool water, that is.

Speakin' of pool water..

You mean, last one in?

Yahoo!

whoosh

Yahoo!

whoosh

screech screech

Uh-oh.

thud

Fred, I forgot to tell you.

I had to clean the pool, so I drained it.

[grunting]

Wilma!

Wilma!

Come on, Wilma, open this door!

Wilma!
