04:59Hey.
05:00Hey.
05:01Hey.
05:02Hey.
05:02me like other pets. All right, Dino. Put Daddy down. Oh, boy. Every night the same thing.
05:15Oh, that was a swell dinner, Wilma. Thanks, Fred. And now for a nice surprise. We're going to the
05:26big charity dance at the Rockadero Tilton. Are you out of your mind? It costs too much.
05:33Free tickets. But you'll want a new gown. I'll wear my old one. Well, there's the corsage. I'll wear
05:39some daisies from our garden. After the dance, you'll want to eat. I'll bring sandwiches. Give
05:44up, Fred. We are not going to the dance. Oh, come on, Fred. What reason could you possibly have for
05:52not going? I... I got my reasons. Fred, your idea of a good time is watching a ball game
06:00on TV while I feed you sandwiches. I've gone along with it for a long time because I know
06:06it's expensive to go out. But when we can go to the swankiest dance of the year for free
06:13and you still won't take me... Well, Fred, you're becoming antisocial. I've still got my reasons.
06:21Oh, sometimes that Fred.
06:30Hi, Fred.
06:32Barney, why aren't you home watching a ball game on TV?
06:36Ah, I had a little tiff with Buddy. Um, a little difference of opinion about, uh, going to
06:42the charity dance.
06:43You too, huh? Why wouldn't you go, Barney?
06:46Well, uh, will you, uh, promise me you won't laugh, Fred?
06:50Believe me, I am in no laughing mood.
06:54Well, uh, I can't dance. Uh, you meet people there and, uh, you're supposed to dance and
07:00it's, it's too embarrassing. But why aren't you gone, Fred?
07:03Word for word, the same reason. Two left feet.
07:08Well, it's sure not fair to the girls.
07:10I know. And I feel awful about it. There ought to be something we could do.
07:16Well, uh, we could learn to dance.
07:19Hey, that's it, Barney!
07:21It is? But, uh, how do we learn, Fred?
07:24How does anyone learn anything? From a book, of course.
07:28Now, look, you run down to the library and get a book on dancing.
07:31I'll back the car out of the garage. We can start practicing right away.
07:35Hey, and, and then we can take the girls to the dance without being embarrassed, right?
07:38Right! Get going, pal!
07:42Hey, Fred! I'm back!
07:44Shh! Not so loud. We don't want the girls to know about this.
07:48Did you get the book?
07:49Yup! Here it is!
07:51How to Dance with Diagrams.
07:54Ah, it's swell, Barney.
07:55Well, we start off with an easy one now, like the tango.
07:58Yeah, yeah, tango. Here, here it is, Fred.
08:00The tango with diagrams.
08:02Hey, there's nothing to it.
08:04Look, we, we just follow the footprints.
08:07All right, all right, here we go.
08:09You sure you got the steps memorized?
08:11Oh, yeah, it's a cinch.
08:13Hey, uh, lead on, Fred.
08:15Okay, the tango.
08:17Here it goes.
08:27Say, you follow pretty good, Barney.
08:30Oh, thanks, Fred.
08:31Yeah.
08:42Barney.
08:43Yeah, Fred?
08:44Get off my feet!
08:46But it's easier to follow you this way, Fred.
08:49Well, it ain't the right way.
08:50Now, get off.
08:52And remember, the tango is graceful, sinuous, smooth.
08:59Let's do it right.
09:01Yeah, okay, Fred.
09:10Now, we got it.
09:13Graceful, sinuous, smooth.
09:15Ooh, through the...
09:19Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum.
09:22Bum, da-da-dum.
09:25Well, so much for the basic steps, Barney boy.
09:28Now, let's try some fancy stuff.
09:30Ready?
09:31Yep.
09:33Oh, hold it, Fred.
09:35Hold it.
09:36Wait, wait, wait a minute.
09:37Fred, Fred, let go.
09:41Now, what kind of a step is that?
09:44It-it-it's not a step.
09:45It's-it's my sacraliliac.
09:47Oh, well, don't worry, Barney.
09:49I'll adjust it for you.
09:50No, no, no, no, no, no, Fred.
09:51No, no, don't touch me.
09:52Don't, don't...
09:52Come on, Barney, come on.
09:54Don't be a sissy.
09:55I know how to fix it.
09:56Now, stop it, will you?
09:58Stop squirming, Barney.
09:59Let go.
10:00Hold still.
10:01Hold still.
10:02Fred.
10:03Barney.
10:03What are you two doing?
10:05Oh, uh, uh, uh, we were just, uh, practicing some wrestling holes.
10:10Wrestling holes?
10:11Sure, sure, weren't we, Barney?
10:13Uh, yeah.
10:14Uh, like this one.
10:18It's called the body slam.
10:21Uh...
10:23I guess men are just boys that never grow up.
10:27And if they keep this up, they won't grow any older, either.
10:34Hey, Fred.
10:35Yeah, Barney?
10:36You know, I-I've been thinking.
10:38It-it's a cinch we're not gonna figure out how to dance from that book.
10:41You know, I've been thinking the same thing.
10:43Hey, look, uh, maybe we oughta go to one of those there, uh, dancing schools, huh?
10:48Now you're talking.
10:50We'll drop in at the Arthur Quarry Dance School right after work, and we'll sign up.
10:55Hey, yeah, okay, Fred.
10:57Yeah, we'll stop by on the way home, huh?
11:05Well, here we are, Barney.
11:07Let's go in.
11:08Well, gee, Fred, I'm-I'm kinda scared.
11:11Uh, do you think we're doing the right thing?
11:12Do you wanna take the girls to the dance?
11:15Uh, but of course.
11:16Then we're doing the right thing.
11:19Oh, uh, there's no one here, Fred.
11:21Let's go home.
11:21Wait a minute, wait a minute.
11:23Hey!
11:24Yoo-hoo!
11:25Who's in charge?
11:27Good evening, gentlemen.
11:29Welcome to the Arthur Quarry Dance School.
11:35Can I help you, gentlemen?
11:37Yes, ma'am.
11:38We wanna learn to dance.
11:39Well, you came to the right place.
11:41We have a one-year, all-inclusive course that will teach-
11:45One year?
11:46We haven't got that much time.
11:48Oh.
11:49Well, there's our six-month course, but that doesn't include the Hopi Indian Rain Dance.
11:55The Hopi-
11:56And if you ever met a Hopi Indian, you'd just be out of luck.
12:00We'll have to take that chance.
12:02Yeah, but Fred-
12:03We only got a week.
12:05A week.
12:05Then you'll need our crash course.
12:08Four lessons a night, every night, and we might make it.
12:12Good.
12:13We'll take it.
12:14But Fred, stop interrupting, Bonnie.
12:17When do we start, lady?
12:18Tonight.
12:20Promptly.
12:20At 8.30.
12:24Well, Bonnie boy, we're all signed up.
12:27We'll be a sensation on the dance floor by next week.
12:30But Fred, what is with this but Fred?
12:33But Fred, stop.
12:34What's on your mind?
12:36Well, I was just wondering how we're gonna get out of the house every night this week.
12:43Bonnie, how come you wait till now to tell me?
12:47You should have mentioned it before we signed up and paid out all that dough.
12:50Well, I tried to tell you, Fred, but you wouldn't let me.
12:53Hey, I got another right there, Fred.
12:55Oh, no.
12:56Not again.
12:57Yeah, yeah.
12:57Look, why don't we join Joe Rockhead's Volunteer Fire Department?
13:01Okay.
13:03I know I'm a fooled ass, but what has Joe Rockhead's Volunteer Fire Department got to do with our
13:10dancing lessons?
13:11Well, if we were Volunteer Firemen, we'd have to leave the house every time the fire bell rings.
13:16And Rocky rings the bell every night at 7.30.
13:19And how, if I might ask, does Rocky know there's gonna be a fire every night at 7.30?
13:27There is no fire, Fred.
13:29There's nothing to burn in bedrock.
13:31Everything is made of stone.
13:33But it gives the volunteer firemen a chance to get out every night and go bowling or play cards.
13:39You know, Fred, man stuff.
13:40But you and me, we could go to the dancing school every night.
13:45How long has this been going on, Barney?
13:49Oh, a couple of months or so.
13:50Hey, what do you think of the idea, huh, Fred?
13:52I think it's the most despicable...
13:55I know you'd say that.
13:56...the most insidious...
13:58I know you'd say that.
14:00...the most ingenious idea I ever heard.
14:04Let's join!
14:05I know you'd say that, too, Fred.
14:12Yeah, it's working out real swell, fellas.
14:15To keep the department efficient, we have a mock alert every night at 7.30.
14:20Get it?
14:21When the bell rings, all the firemen report to the firehouse immediately.
14:26Get it?
14:27If there's no fire, and there never is...
14:31...we disband and go back home or wherever.
14:35Most of the fellas go the wherever route.
14:38Ha, ha, ha.
14:40Are the rules clear?
14:41Yeah, we got it.
14:43Ha, ha, ha.
14:44Good.
14:45Now, raise your right hand and take the oath.
14:48Do you solemnly swear you will answer the fire bell whenever it rings...
14:53...and never snitch on our brother firefighters?
14:56We do.
14:58Congratulations, men.
14:59I'll see you at 7.30.
15:02Ha, ha, ha.
15:05Dinner's ready.
15:07I wonder where Fred is.
15:08Hey, Wilma!
15:10Get a load of this.
15:12Pretty nifty, eh?
15:14What is it, Fred?
15:15It's my new fireman's outfit.
15:18I am now a volunteer fireman.
15:21Volunteer fireman?
15:22But why, Fred?
15:23Because I feel it is my civic duty to protect the citizens of Bedrock.
15:29Barney joined, too.
15:31But, Fred, I don't ever remember seeing any fires in Bedrock.
15:35Yes, but we in the department know that there's gonna be a lot of them every night this week.
15:41How do you know that, Fred?
15:43I can't tell you that, Wilma.
15:45It's a top secret.
15:47They're up to something.
15:49But what?
15:53Fred, do you have to eat with that hat on?
15:57I gotta be ready to scramble, as we say down at the firehouse.
16:05Fred, will you stop looking at the clock?
16:08You'd think you were going somewhere.
16:10Five, four, three, two...
16:16There it is!
16:17There's a fire somewhere!
16:19Duty calls!
16:20Neither sleep nor slush nor...
16:22Now, I'll see you later, Wilma!
16:25Wow!
16:27How civic-minded can one get?
16:30Come on, Barney, let's go!
16:32Come on, Fred, wait for me!
16:34We'll run down to the firehouse, Barney, right quicker!
16:37Eee-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!
16:43Betty, did you see that?
16:46See it?
16:47I got trampled in the rush.
16:49I never saw a fireman so happy about a fire before.
16:53I guess they just love their work.
17:01Nice work, fellas.
17:03You're really on the ball.
17:04but it's a false alarm and you can all go home right you know I'll bet something like this could
17:23catch on all over the country yeah that's your rocket's a smart one and it's only a short one
17:34to the dance school right we just do this for a week and we're all set awake are you kidding

17:52gentlemen will leave your coats here we'll step into the classroom and I'll introduce you to your
17:58dancing teachers two charming young ladies gee Fred lady teachers hey I don't think Betty would
