00:04Wow, looks like everybody in Holly Rock has come to see the telecast.
00:08Lucky for us, we're friends of the stars.
00:11Oh, look, Betty, there's Fred and a producer.
00:14You can run along now, J.B. I'll take over from here.
00:17After all, I'm the star.
00:19Be sure and have that spotlight on me all the time.
00:23Here's some music I wrote last night, using the bridge into the second act.
00:27If you forget a line, don't worry. I will cover for you.
00:32I've got to stop him.
00:33If the show goes over, I'll be saddled with him for the whole season, and I can't take that.
00:59I'll be sad.
01:01I'll be sad.
01:04I'll be sad.
01:10I'll be sad.
01:14I'll be sad.
01:15I'll be sad.
01:15I'll be sad.
01:15I'll be sad.
01:16I'll be sad.
01:16I'll be sad.
01:16I'll be sad.
01:17I'll be sad.
01:18I'll be sad.
01:21I'll be sad.
01:24I'll be sad.
01:37Wilma! Oh, Wilma!
01:40Come to the window, Wilma.
01:43Hi, Benny. What's up?
01:45They're going to announce the winners on that slogan contest we entered.
01:49Hurry over!
01:50Warm up the set. I'll be right there.
01:54Gee, Wilma.
01:55Do you think we stand a chance?
01:57I don't know why not.
01:59We figured out some pretty good slogans together.
02:01I think the first one, Mother McGuire's meatballs don't bounce, is a natural.
02:07And I like the other one, too.
02:09If you'll eat a Mother McGuire meatball, you'll never eat another.
02:14Well, if either one of them wins, we split the prize between us, right?
02:18Right. Keep your fingers crossed, Wilma, and turn the set on.
02:22Here's hoping, partner.
02:25Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
02:28Mother McGuire's meatballs are on the air.
02:32We are the meatballs from Mother McGuire.
02:35Of our flavor, you'll never tire.
02:37When you buy us, you show good sense.
02:40We're made from the finest ingredients.
02:44Love those animated commercials.
02:46Oh, they're so cute.
02:48And now, friends, the announcement you've all been waiting for.
02:52The winner of the Mother McGuire meatball slogan contest is...
02:59Mrs. Betty Rubble and Mrs. Fred Flintstone of Bedrock.
03:06We won, we won, we won, we won.
03:09Congratulations, girls, for the winning slogan,
03:13Mother McGuire's meatballs don't bounce.
03:16And, ladies and gentlemen, they don't.
03:21For submitting the winning slogan,
03:24Mrs. Rubble and Mrs. Flintstone win a trip for two
03:27to that glamorous city of movie and TV stars, Holly Rock.
03:32Oh, Wilma, can you imagine Holly Rock?
03:35We'll need new clothes.
03:36And sunglasses.
03:37We'll see all the movie stars.
03:39Oh, we'll really live it up.
03:40Oh, we'll have the grandest time.
03:42And how?
03:44Uh-oh.
03:45What's the matter, Wilma?
03:46Our husbands.
03:48What about them?
03:49They'd never let us go without them.
03:51That's right.
03:53What's the matter with us?
03:55We're living in a dream world.
03:58Betty, there's only one thing to do.
04:00We'll toss a coin.
04:01And either you and Barney go or Fred and I go.
04:05That sounds fair.
04:08Would have been fun together, Wilma.
04:10It sure would have, Betty.
04:15I'm sure glad I'm only a bird.
04:17Just getting a cracker is a big deal for me.
04:22Well, see you in the morning, Barney boy.
04:25Right, Fred, it's your turn to drive tomorrow.
04:27So long.
04:32Well, Wilma, poopy's home.
04:34Let's eat, let's feed the pigs.
04:36Oh, Fred, wait till I tell you what happened today.
04:39Later, Wilma.
04:40Start the nourishment coming.
04:42I am starved.
04:43Fred, do you remember that slogan contest I entered last month?
04:46Yeah.
04:48Yeah, I remember telling you not to waste your time.
04:51Well, you were wrong.
04:52I won a trip for two to Holly Rock.
04:55Holly Rock?
04:56That's right.
04:57Boy, am I lucky.
05:00Abba-dabba-doo.
05:01Ho, ho.
05:02We'll hobnob with the stars.
05:04We'll eat at the brown fedora.
05:06We'll stroll along Holly Rock Boulevard.
05:08Come on, Wilma, let's get packed.
05:10I'll eat at the airport.
05:11Fred, just a minute.
05:13And leave a note for the milkman, Wilma.
05:15Fred, listen to me.
05:19Come on, Wilma, stop yanking and start packing.
05:22Fred, will you listen?
05:25It's not all set.
05:26It depends.
05:27Depends?
05:28Depends on what?
05:29Who?
05:30Where?
05:30It depends on Betty and Barney.
05:33Betty and Barney?
05:34Well, they're not coming with us.
05:36That's how.
05:37Fred, sit down a minute and let me explain.
05:41It started like this.
05:43And that's what happened.
05:45So Betty and I decided the only fair thing to do was toss for it.
05:50So Wilma and I decided the only fair thing to do is toss for it.
05:55Well, we'll have to watch Fred.
05:56He used to have a two-headed coin.
05:58Barney, I'm ashamed of you.
06:01Fred wouldn't cheat his best friends.
06:03He all right.
06:04I'm sorry, Betty.
06:06That wasn't very nice of me, was it?
06:08Well, here goes.
06:10One toss to see who goes to holly rot.
06:13Ready?
06:14Ready.
06:15I'll take heads.
06:17Huh?
06:18You can't have heads.
06:19I always take heads.
06:21Well, you're tossing, so I get to call it.
06:25Okay, wise guy.
06:26You toss and I will call heads.
06:29Fred, let me see that coin.
06:31Ah, Wilma.
06:33Let me see it, Fred.
06:36Hmm.
06:37Just as I thought.
06:39You're using that two-headed coin.
06:41What are you trying to do, Fred?
06:43Cheat?
06:44Who, me?
06:45Of course not.
06:46It was just a gag.
06:51Well, just for a gag, we'll let Barney toss with a regular coin.
06:57Okay, here goes.
06:58You call it, Fred.
07:01Heads.
07:04It's tails.
07:05We win, Betty.
07:06Hooray!
07:07We go to holly rock.
07:09How about that?
07:09Ain't that something, Fred?
07:12Yeah, Barney.
07:13That's swell.
07:15Congratulations, Betty.
07:17You and Barney will have a wonderful time.
07:20Yeah, I guess so.
07:23Huh, Barney?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Hey, Fred, how about making it two out of three, huh?
07:29Barney, you're a pal.
07:32Okay, I'll take heads again.
07:37Heads it is!
07:38Now we're even.
07:39Toss again, Barney.
07:40Okay, here goes.
07:42Heads again!
07:43I win!
07:44I win!
07:45You hear that?
07:45Wilma, I won!
07:46Holly rock, here we come!
07:48Get the bag, start packing!
07:50Yabba-dabba-doo!
07:51Fred, Fred!
07:53Ha, ha, ha, ha!
07:54Look.
07:58Good night, Wilma.
07:59Have a nice trip.
08:01Good night, Fred.
08:02Hey, uh, wait a minute, you guys.
08:05How about making it three out of four, Barney?
08:11It's, uh, tails, I think.
08:14Keep tossing, Barney.
08:15Barney will make it best 75 out of 100.
08:20Oh, come on, you two.
08:22We're not getting anywhere tossing that coin.
08:25Yeah, you're right, Wilma.
08:27And I got a solution.
08:28Yes, Fred?
08:30Go on, what is it?
08:31Barney and I will go.
08:33Oh, no, you won't.
08:35We wouldn't trust you out there for one minute.
08:37Yeah, surrounded by all those starlets.
08:41Can you imagine that, Barney?
08:43They wouldn't trust us, surrounded by all those starlets.
08:48Neither would I.
08:50If anybody goes, it should be Betty and me.
08:52After all, we won the contest.
08:54Hmm.
08:56You're right, Wilma.
08:58You two girls go to Holly Rock.
09:01Oh, Fred, do you mean it?
09:03Sure I mean it.
09:05Uh, it's okay with you, isn't it, Barney?
09:08Huh?
09:09Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I, uh, I guess so.
09:12Oh, gee, thanks, Barney.
09:14Oh, don't mention it.
09:15We'll get packed right away.
09:17Bring all your summer clothes.
09:18And our cameras.
09:19Don't forget our cameras.
09:20And we'll have to get an autograph book.
09:22You get it, Barney?
09:23They'll be gone a whole week.
09:24We can stay out as late as we want.
09:26Bowl every night.
09:27Why, it's that chance of a lifetime.
09:29How about that, Barney boy?
09:32Hooray.
09:36Well, they're on the plane, Barney.
09:38Boy, what a speedy-looking job.
09:41Speedy is right.
09:42That's one of those four jet jobs.
09:44Ready for takeoff.
09:45Roger.
09:46Fire engine one.
09:47Fire one.
09:59Hey, they're ready to take off.
10:01Goodbye, Wilmer.
10:02Goodbye, Betty.
10:03Goodbye, Fred.
10:04Goodbye, Barney.
10:05Don't forget to feed the cat.
10:07Here she comes, Barney.
10:12Look at them go, Barney.
10:14Hey, do you think they're safe, Fred?
10:15Of course.
10:17These modern planes fly with only two birds, if necessary.
10:21Well, that's sure nice to know.
10:24Barney, we're as free as a bird.
10:26I feel like a bird in a guilty cage.
10:31Hey, come on, come on.
10:33We'll bowl a game or two, eh?
10:34It'll cheer you up.
10:40Ste-right!
10:41How's about that, Barney?
10:43How about you guys calling it quits, eh?
10:46It's after one o'clock.
10:47I like to close the place.
10:49Huh.
10:49I suppose you're one of those poor guys
10:52that's got to get home at a certain time, eh?
10:55That sounds good to me, Fred.
10:58Why, the night is young, Barney.
11:01What are we going to do now?
11:02How about going home, huh, Fred?
11:04Home?
11:05Well, we can go home anytime.
11:08We are night people now.
11:09We don't go home until it starts getting light.
11:15Hey, Barney, I just remembered I know a place
11:18where there's all-night roller skates.
11:21Come on, Barney, let's go.
11:23What, what, what?
11:28Oh, Barney, this is what I call living, eh?
11:39Hey, Barney, where you going?
11:41Wait for me!
11:43Barney, come back!
11:54Barney!
11:55Are you all right?
11:58Hey, Barney, speak to me.
11:59Say something.
12:06Hey, that looks pretty good, Barney.
12:10Move over.
12:22Hey, Barney!
12:24What is it, Fred?
12:25Why do you say we shoot some pool
12:27and take you to an all-night movie?
12:30Oh, you go, Fred.
12:31I got something to do.
12:32Well, I'll come over and help you,
12:34and then we will go, go, go!
12:38Honest, Fred, I can't go.
12:40I'm writing a letter to Betty.
12:42Gee, I sure miss her.
12:45Do you miss Wilma?
12:47Miss her?
12:48Are you kidding?
12:49Well, she's only been gone two days.
12:52Miss her?
12:53Heh, heh, heh, heh.
13:01Of course I miss her.
13:05Fred, do you mind turning around?
13:09This part is personal.
13:11Sure, Barney.
13:16Okay, Fred, thanks.
13:18Hey, Barney.
13:19Yeah?
13:20I got an idea.
13:21Ah, count me out, Fred.
13:23No, no, wait, wait.
13:24Supposing.
13:25No, no, no, just supposing.
13:27We took a week of our vacations now and flew out to Holly Rock.
13:33Yeah, we could meet the girls and all come back together.
13:36Right.
13:37Fred, I want to apologize.
13:40What for, Barney?
13:41For what I've been thinking of you the last few days.
13:45Third class unscheduled steerage flight.
13:49Now boarding at gate 13 for Holly Rock.
13:54All aboard, you cheapskates.
13:57That's us, Barney.
13:58Let's go.
13:59Holly Rock.
14:00Here we come.
14:05Ponderous TV Productions.
14:07If it's colossal, we did it first.
14:10Gee, Betty, this is where they make all those big television shows.
14:14I know.
14:15And aren't we lucky our prize included a trip through the studio?
14:19And how.
14:20Let's go in.
14:24Problems, problems, problems.
14:26Why do I always have these problems?
14:28Why can't I get the right girl for the wife's part?
14:30All I get is method actresses, mumble-jumble,
14:34stylists simpering all over the place.
14:36This part calls for a real woman, a real wife.
14:40One who's been through the ringer with a loud-mouthed, overbearing husband.
14:44Yes, sir.
14:45I can see her in my mind, you see.
14:47She cries herself to sleep at night,
14:48but she laughs and plays the game during the day.
14:51She, she...
14:53Let's go to the commissary, Betty, and have a cool drink.
14:57That's her.
14:58She's perfect.
14:59That's the answer.
15:01Get that woman!
15:02Oh, boy.
15:03With her as the star, I can get the frogmouth,
15:06our big spectacular, into immediate production.
15:10Here we are, sir.
15:12Oh, there she is.
15:13Hold it.
15:14Don't move.
15:15I was right.
15:16I was right.
15:17That's her.
15:18Yes, yes, I believe you.
15:20I believe you.
15:22I didn't say anything yet.
15:24I like that.
15:25A sense of humor, too.
15:27And that's what you need as the wife of the frogmouth.
15:30Frogmouth?
15:31Watch it, bub.
15:32Fred may be a little loud, but he's no frogmouth.
15:35That's the spirit.
15:37Defends her man in spite of everything.
15:39What blind devotions who are no good.
15:41He beats you.
15:41He gambles the milk money.
15:43You can't talk that way about Fred, you brute.
15:47You saw that.
15:48You saw that.
15:49The fire.
15:50The intensity.
15:50She's perfect.
15:51Only his name isn't Fred, you know.
15:53It's Bill.
15:54Just my Bill kind of thing.
15:55No matter what he does.
15:57No matter where he goes.
15:58He never brings you pretty flowers.
16:00Oh, no, that's Jim, isn't it?
16:02Yes, it's gorgeous.
16:04But if Fred articulates better, we'll change the name to Fred, you see.
16:07Anything to get you to play the part, you know.
16:10What's he talking about, Wilma?
16:12The part?
16:13What part?
16:14The wife part in our big TV spectacular, the frogmouth.
16:20Where did she go?
16:20Oh, where did she go?
16:22Oh.
16:23Come on, Wilma, wake up.
16:24Wake up.
16:25Somebody get a glass of water.
16:29I can't believe it, Betty.
16:31I'm in a television play.
16:33Yeah, and a star part, too.
16:35Isn't it thrilling?
16:37It's like a dream.
16:39Wait till Fred hears about this.
16:41Gee, Wilma, we're having all the fun while our poor husbands are back home slaving away.
16:47Yeah, I wonder what Fred and Barney are doing now.
16:52Well, there she is, Barney, Holly Rock, spread out at our feet.
16:57Shouldn't we keep looking for Betty and Wilma, Fred?
17:00Well, since they could be any place, they could be up here.
17:03But they're not up here, Fred.
17:05Okay, we'll go back to Holly Rock Boulevard and keep looking for them.
17:12Gee, Fred, we looked everywhere, but no Wilma and no Betty.
17:16What do we do now?
17:17I don't know, Barney, but I got to sit down somewhere.
17:20My feet are killing me.
17:22How about that place, Fred?
17:24We can sit in there.
17:27Now in rehearsal, the frogmouth.
17:30Public invited.
17:33Get that title.
17:34The frogmouth.
17:36Must be about one of those loudmouth guys.
17:38You know the type, Barney.
17:40Oh, intimately, Fred.
17:42Intimately.
17:43Anyway, we can watch them rehearse and rest at the same time.
17:49Boy, it feels good to sit down, huh, Barney?
17:52Oh, yeah.
17:53I think I'll take a nap until the show starts.
17:56It's a good idea.
17:57Little snooze will do me a lot of good, too.
18:02Now, I know you've been rehearsing at home, and you know your part.
18:05But project, project, you know, project, really give out.
18:08You're the frogmouth.
18:09You're loud, you're noisy, you're obnoxious.
18:11Lots of decibels, you got it?
18:13I think so.
18:16No, no.
18:16Nobody would do this to me.
18:18It's a gag.
18:19It's a gag, that's it.
18:20It relieves the tension.
18:21I was all tight.
18:22Now I'm all loosened up.
18:24Okay, Wilma, honey, throw the frogmouth his first cue.
18:27This is a rehearsal, everybody.
18:29Quiet on the stage.
18:30Go ahead, Wilma.
18:32Bill, the baby's college fund money is missing.
18:36Did you take it, Bill?
18:38Yes, I did.
18:39So what?
18:39You want to make something out of it?
18:41No, no.
18:43Louder, louder.
18:44You're the frogmouth.
18:45Be positive.
18:47Yes, I did.
18:48So what?
18:49Do you want to make something out of it?
18:51Why me?
18:52Why me?
18:52I'm a good guy.
18:54It's too late to audition, people.
18:56I could have gone to college.
18:57I could have learned to trade.
18:59But no, no.
19:00I had to be a television producer.
19:01And I wind up with a Pollywog for a frogmouth.
19:04I'm ruined.
19:12Hey, you guys, wake up.
19:13Up, up, up.
19:15This is a theater, not a plophouse.
19:17Fred, look up on the stage.
19:19Huh?
19:20Wilma!
19:22Fred, what are you doing here?
19:24What am I doing here?
19:26What are you doing up there?
19:27I've been looking all over Hollyrock for you, and what happens?
19:31I find you up on a dark stage instead of outside soaking up the sunshine.
19:36That voice.
19:37That voice is the perfect frogmouth.
19:40Get that frog.
19:41I mean that man.
19:42Get him up here right away.
19:45So, you're Wilma's husband.
19:47I knew it.
19:48I knew it.
19:49One look at her, and I knew it.
19:51Tell me, Fred, did you ever do any acting?
19:53Well, one year I was in the spring play at public school 158.
20:00And you were Hamlet?
20:02Romeo?
20:03King Arthur?
20:04No, no, none of those things.
20:07Some of the kids were trees, some were flowers, some were butterflies.
20:12And what were you?
20:13I was a slug.
20:15Figures it figures.
20:17And now, Fred, you're going to have a chance to trod the boards again as the frogmouth.
20:24Fred and Wilma look good up there, don't they, Barney?
20:27Shh!
20:27Here's the tryout.
20:30Bill, the baby's college fund money is missing.
20:33Did you take it?
20:34Yes, I did.
20:36So what?
20:37If he wants to go to college, he can wait on table.
20:41Stupendous!
20:42Zimbly golazzle!
20:43Let me offer my congratulations, you see.
20:45I love an actor who adlibs lines to the script.
20:48Make the show run long, you see.
20:50We have to cut the ending.
20:51But I don't mind.
20:52We never know how to end them anyway, you see.
20:55You're in, Fred.
20:55You'll be a smash.
20:57Oh, Fred, how wonderful.
21:00Congratulations.
21:01I must live right, no matter what my psychiatrist says.
21:08I'm telling you, Barney, there's nothing to this acting racket.
21:12Comes natural to me.
21:15Of course, this frogmouth bit is all right for a starter, but it's not the real thing.
21:20I'm going to move into big stuff, like Dr. Jekyll Hines, the halfbacker Notre Dame,
21:27around the world in the days.
21:30There's a lot of good things a man of my talents can tackle.
21:33Oh, Mr. Flintstone, can I have your autograph, please?
21:37Certainly, sir.
21:39There you are, boy.
21:41Thanks, Fred.
21:41You just signed the check for dinner.
21:47Very funny.
21:48Ha, ha, ha.
21:51Wow, the theater is packed.
21:54Looks like everybody in Holly Rock has come to see the telecast.
21:58Lucky for us, we're friends of the stars.
22:00We can watch it from backstage.
22:03Oh, look, Betty.
22:04There's Fred and the producer.
22:05Uh-huh.
22:06He must be giving Fred some last-minute instructions.
22:09You can run along now, J.B.
22:11I'll take over from here.
22:13After all, I'm the star.
22:15Hey, you up there.
22:17Be sure and have that spotlight on me all the time.
22:21And, uh, Professor, here's some music I wrote last night.
22:25Use it to bridge into the second act.
22:27Now, listen, all you supporting players.
22:29If you forget a line, don't worry.
22:32I will cover for you.
22:34I gotta stop him.
22:35If the show goes over, I'll be saddled with him for the whole season.
22:38And I can't take that.
22:39Not for 26 weeks.
22:41I gotta stop him.
22:42I gotta sabotage this thing.
22:43But how, how, how, how, how, how?
22:45Okay, places, everybody.
22:48Two minutes to go.
22:49Turn the house lights down.
22:51I got it.
22:52I got it.
22:52It just might work.
22:53Hey, uh, Fred, how do you feel, Fred?
22:56Huh?
22:56Are you, are you nervous?
22:57Huh?
22:58Kind of sick to your stomach, yes?
22:59Nervous?
23:00Yes.
23:00Are you kidding?
23:01Hey, you aren't talking to Mr. Showbiz, Buster.
23:04That's fine, fine, fine.
23:06Because everybody will be watching.
23:08Every move you make, every line you speak,
23:10every lift of your eyebrow,
23:11they'll be rooting for you, Fred.
23:12All 60 million of them.
23:1560 million of them.
23:1760, 60, 60 million?
23:22Okay, Wilma, we're on the air.
23:25Action.
23:26Bill, the baby's college fund money is missing.
23:30Did you take it?
23:34Cut to camera three and bring Charlie in.
23:37Okay, Charlie, you got an hour to fill in.
23:39Keep those balls bouncing.
23:41Remember, the show must go on.
23:44Oh, boy, my big chance.
23:49Fred, what happened?
23:51Say something.
23:54Why, he's lost his voice.
23:58Hello, Wilma.
23:59How's Fred feeling?
24:01Has he said anything yet?
24:02No, and we've been home for a week now.
24:06I'm going to try that idea we thought up, Betty.
24:09Well, it's kind of drastic, but it might work.
24:13Oh, Fred, how do you like my new fur coat?
24:18It's genuine Siberian mastodon and only costs $5,000.
24:24I knew you wouldn't mind, so I charged it.
24:35Wilma, are you out of your mind?
24:38You think I made of money or something?
24:40Send it back before I sew the store for selling it to you.
24:44Huh?
24:45Let's go home now, Barney.
24:46Fred's got his voice back again.
24:48And how?
24:49The big frog mouth bellows again.
24:51What a guy.
24:53Oh, by the way, Barney, when Wilma bought that fur coat,
24:57the sales girl showed me a darling little saber-toothed tiger stole.
25:02I just couldn't resist it, Barney.
25:05Betty Rubble, are you out of your mind?
25:08Do you think I made of money or something?
25:10Send it back before I sew the store for selling it to you.
25:14Oh, what a loud bout that guy is.
25:17Oh, boy.
25:35Oh, boy.
26:06Wilma, come on, Wilma, open this door.
26:12Wilma!
26:16Wilma!
26:19Wilma!
