00:07Wilma?
00:08Wilma?
00:09Uh-oh, the cat's out of the bag.
00:14Wilma!
00:16Or more accurately, the saber-toothed lion is out of his cage.
00:21Wilma, who is that?
00:24Who is what, dear?
00:27The guy sitting on our bed making all that rocket.
00:32Why, that's our new border, silly.
00:34.
00:38.
00:39.
00:39.

00:51.
00:53.
01:34A hundred and seventeen, sixty-two-fifty, forty-one-seventy-five, eleven-eighty-two, and twenty-six-seventy?
01:46Wilma!
01:48Hey, Wilma, I want to talk to you!
01:51Oh, dear. I've been expecting this.
01:54What's wrong, Wilma?
01:55Fred's been looking over the checkbook stubs.
01:58Uh-oh. I better go home.
02:00Husbands become so unreasonable when they get their nose in a checking account.
02:04You're right, Betty. Men just don't understand a woman's bookkeeping system.
02:08Hmm. They like our figures before we get married, but not afterward.
02:13Not when it comes to checkbooks.
02:17Wilma, I got a bone to pick with you.
02:21See you later, Wilma.
02:22I hope.
02:26I, uh, see you've been going over the checking account, dear.
02:30How do we stand?
02:32Stand? We don't stand.
02:34We're flat on our face.
02:35We have no checking account.
02:37We're way overdrawn.
02:38Well, that's impossible.
02:40The bank must have made a mistake.
02:42Naturally.
02:43What good are all our bookkeepers adding machines double-checking compared to your system?
02:48Whatever it is.
02:49Are you going to believe your wife or the bank?
02:52Huh?
02:53Does the bank cook your dinner for you every night?
02:55Does the bank wash your clothes, clean your house?
02:58Now, don't go feminine on me, Wilma.
03:01I stay home and slave all day.
03:03And what thanks do I get?
03:07Hmm.
03:09Overdrawn, huh?
03:10Way overdrawn.
03:12I'm sorry, Fred.
03:14Okay, Wilma.
03:16Okay.
03:17In the past, I used to get mad about this.
03:20But no more.
03:21No reason why we can't discuss this calmly.
03:24Like adult people, right?
03:26Right, Fred.
03:28The way I look at it, Wilma,
03:30being married is like running a business as partners.
03:34That's a lovely thought, Fred.
03:36And partners must sit down every once in a while
03:39and discuss how their business is going.
03:41Right?
03:42That makes good sense.
03:45Now, partner,
03:46I have a report to make in regards to Fred Flintstone and company,
03:50if I may open the discussion.
03:52Go right ahead, Fred.
03:53It's your right, a senior partner.
03:57Let's see.
03:58Ah, yeah.
03:59Here it is.
04:00Partner?
04:01Yes, partner?
04:03You are spending too much money.
04:06You use checks like they were coupons.
04:09They're money, money, hard-earned money.
04:13But, Fred, we're partners.
04:15Partners?
04:16What's partners about the frilly, frilly sweater shop?
04:19Or the bedrock tea room?
04:21Or the Jolly Boys Tavern?
04:24Or the Sure Strike Bowling Ball Company?
04:27That's different.
04:28That's business expenses.
04:30Since when do you conduct your business at the bowling alley?
04:34Hey, Betty?
04:35What is it, Barney?
04:37Oh, Fred and Wilma are having a real ring-a-ding over there.
04:40Hey, what's the trouble?
04:41Ah, they're arguing over their checking account.
04:43Fred was looking over the checks.
04:46Checking account?
04:47Hey, that gives me an idea.
04:49I better check my checks.
04:52Ouch!
04:53Oops, I'm sorry.
04:55Serves me right.
04:56Me and my big mouth.
05:01Good morning, Betty.
05:03How about coming over for a cup of coffee?
05:05Okay, Wilma.
05:06Did Fred leave for work yet?
05:08Yeah.
05:09The old bear slammed out of here earlier than usual.
05:12I'm afraid we got pretty loud last night.
05:15Did you hear us?
05:16Of course not.
05:18I couldn't hear a thing over Barney's yelling.
05:21Barney's yelling?
05:22About what?
05:23Our checking account.
05:25What else?
05:26You too, huh?
05:28Well, come on over.
05:29I'll make the coffee real strong.
05:31Okay, Wilma.
05:32I'll be right there.
05:35If we could only earn some extra money, it would eliminate all these arguments over bills.
05:41Sure, but the boys won't let us go out and get a job.
05:44Yeah.
05:45I can just hear Fred saying, a woman's place is in the home.
05:49I bet it wasn't a wife that started that saying.
05:52Betty, I got an idea.
05:55Shooting them is against the law, Wilma.
05:59Borders.
06:00Huh?
06:01Borders.
06:02We can make some money right here in our home by taking in a border.
06:06That's right.
06:08We're cooking and doing housework anyway.
06:11Sure.
06:12We might as well make some money at it.
06:14Wilma, that's a great idea.
06:16You're a genius.
06:20There.
06:21How does it look?
06:22Great.
06:22Now, all we got to do is wait for results.
06:26As soon as I rent the room, you can hang the sign at your house.
06:30That's right.
06:30We're not in competition.
06:34I wonder who that is.
06:36Maybe someone wants the room already.
06:39Just a minute.
06:41Yes?
06:42Oh, hello, ma'am.
06:44We're a couple of students working our way through college.
06:47And we're looking for a nice pad-like.
06:49Pad?
06:50What's that?
06:51Well, it's like your sign says, pad for hire.
06:55Oh, you mean room for rent.
06:58Come on in, boys.
07:01You say you're majoring in music at Bedrock College?
07:05And you work at night?
07:06That's right, ma'am.
07:08Well, it sounds okay.
07:10One can stay here, and the other can rent a room from you, Betty.
07:14Crazy, ma'am. Crazy.
07:15What kind of a job do you boys have?
07:18We work at the Granite Club, ma'am.
07:20You mean that jazz joint downtown?
07:23Yes, ma'am.
07:24Music will be our life's work.
07:26And that place is the most.
07:28It's, uh, like an internship in way out Grooveroonie.
07:32Would you like to glam our act?
07:34We'd love to.
07:35There's a piano in the corner.
07:37Lead me into it, Sully.
07:47Hey, they're good, Betty.
07:50I'll say.
08:01That's wonderful, boys.
08:03You have lots of talent.
08:05Yes, ma'am.
08:07Talent we got.
08:08Money we ain't.
08:10No money?
08:11How do you expect to pay for your room and board?
08:14We thought maybe we could pay by giving music lessons.
08:17You know, uh, maybe teach you to beat the skins,
08:20sock out a tune on the 88th.
08:21Or teach you the latest dance steps, maybe.
08:26Come on, Sully.
08:27I guess it won't work.
08:29I'm sorry, ladies, but, uh,
08:31by the time we pay our tuition at college
08:32and buy new skins for the bongos and the latest records,
08:35we got no money left.
08:37It's all very discouraging.
08:39This is our first time away from home, and...
08:42Oh, well.
08:43Thanks anyway, ladies.
08:45Goodbye.
08:46Aw, the poor kids.
08:48Wait a minute, boys.
08:50I have an idea.
08:51Betty, why don't we let them help us
08:53with the act we're gonna do?
08:55You know, the contest at the annual Dinosaur Lodge Affair?
08:59Well, ma, I was thinking the same thing.
09:02And if we win first prize,
09:04we'll be $500 richer.
09:06Right.
09:06And in the meantime,
09:08we'll be giving the boys a home.
09:09Right.
09:11Okay, fellas.
09:12I think we can wheel and deal.
09:14We'll give you room and board for two weeks
09:16if you'll coach our act.
09:18Gosh.
09:20You're two of the nicest middle-aged ladies
09:23in the whole world.
09:25Gee, thanks a lot.
09:28I think I'll call about my Social Security, Wilma.
09:32Maybe it's time for me to collect my old age pension.
09:35Yeah, me too.
09:39Yeah, me too.
09:43Fine thing.
09:44We gotta walk home from work
09:46because we can't afford gas for our cars till payday.
09:49All the exercise will do is good for it.
09:51Exercise?
09:52Uh, my feet are killing me.
09:55Come on, let's take the subway.
09:57Papers, get the latest papers here.
10:00Paper, mister?
10:01Hey, how about that, Barney?
10:04Says the army has developed a new bow and arrow.
10:07Yeah.
10:08The slingshot is obsolete now.
10:10This arrow really must be something.
10:13It has an atomic warhead.
10:15Wowee.
10:16A guy can get hurt playing around with one of those.
10:19Hey, would you big spenders like me to turn the page now?
10:22Fresh, kid.
10:24Come on, Barney.
10:27Gee, you meet all kinds in this racket.
10:32Here's the station, Fred.
10:33Yep, here we go.
10:35Down with the rest of the sardines.
10:38Next stop, Pebble Street.
10:40Pebble Street, next stop.
10:42Hey, that's our train, Fred.
10:43Hurry.
10:44Hold it, conductor.
10:45Hold it.
10:47We made it.
10:50Come on, come on.
10:52Let's get moving.
10:53Plenty of room in the back.
10:57Take it away, Charlie.
11:09Well, we squeezed in.
11:11Yeah.
11:12And there's plenty of room, too.
11:15Boy, I got a fat one tonight.
11:17The little guy's got cold hands.
11:20You know, Barney, I've been thinking about our financial problems all day.
11:25And I got a great idea how we can make money right in our own houses.
11:29No, no, no, no.
11:30Count me out, pal.
11:32Counterfeiting is a federal offense.
11:33Very funny.
11:35Very funny.
11:37Barney, sometimes I wonder why I stay friends with you.
11:40Oh, I don't know, Fred.
11:41Unless it's because I'm true blue, witty, generous, and I let you beat me at bowling.
11:50Oh, cut it out, will you?
11:51This is serious.
11:53Oh, sorry, Fred.
11:54Hey, well, what's your idea, huh?
11:55Well, it was about two o'clock this afternoon.
11:59No, no, no.
12:00It was closer to three.
12:01All right, three.
12:02And I thought to myself, here's my friend, Barney, and the same kind of financial bind I'm in.
12:07How true?
12:08But what to do about it, that's the question.
12:11And then it come to me.
12:13What come to you, Fred?
12:14My brilliant idea.
12:16We both got spare rooms in our houses we never use.
12:20So why not put the rooms to work for us?
12:24Let's take in some borders.
12:27Gee, uh, I don't know, Fred.
12:29Why?
12:30What's wrong with that?
12:30I don't think the girls will like the idea.
12:35Now, we both agreed that taking in a border is a good idea.
12:39Right, Barney?
12:40Right, Fred.
12:41Good.
12:42Now all we got to do is sell the idea to the girls.
12:45Uh, Fred.
12:47Yeah, Barney?
12:48If, uh, Betty throws me out, will you take me in as a border?
12:52Oh, quit your kidding, Barney.
12:54Who's kidding?
12:55Who's kidding?
12:56Well, you know how sore Betty gets when she don't agree with one of your ideas.
12:59Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that Barney.
13:02What a guy.
13:04Now to ease into the border right there with Wilma.
13:10Wilma!
13:12Oh, Wilma!
13:13I'm home!
13:15Say hello to Fred, Dino.
13:19No, no, no, Dino.
13:20Down, boy, down, down.
13:22All right, all right, come on.
13:27Who ever heard of carrying a pet into the house piggyback?
13:31It's just that Dino loves you so much, Fred.
13:34Yeah, well, I'm going to train him to hate me a little.
13:39Ah, that was a wonderful meal, Wilma, honey.
13:43From the pterodactyl soup through the brontosaurus steak New York cut
13:47right down to the dodo bird pie and the lychee nuts.
13:51Well, thank you, Fred.
13:54Hmm, he's in a good mood.
13:57There'll never be a better time to spring the border news.
14:01Hmm, she's in a good mood.
14:03There'll never be a better time to spring the border news.
14:07Wilma, I got it.
14:08Fred, I've got something.
14:10You'll never guess what I...
14:12Hold it, hold it.
14:13I got news for you.
14:15We're going to take in a border.
14:16There's no need of having a spare room that's not being used.
14:20Now, what do you got to say about that?
14:23That's a wonderful idea, Fred.
14:28Never, never, never, never, never will I ever figure out women.
14:35Hey, Fred, how did you make out?
14:37I talked her into it.
14:39Good.
14:40I sold Betty on the idea, too.
14:41Good boy, Barney.
14:44Now, let's see.
14:46If I can get 10 bucks a week for the room,
14:48that'll be, uh, 40 bucks a month.
14:54Boy, I can bowl a lot of games with that kind of dough.
14:58Now, if I ask for 15 a week...
15:23Oh, hiya, Mr. Flintstone.
15:26Well, uh, what are you doing?
15:28I'm doing my homework.
15:29Now, if you'll excuse me, sir.
15:37Wilma?
15:38Wilma?
15:39Uh, Wilma?
15:41Uh-oh.
15:42The cat's out of the bag.
15:44Wilma!
15:46Or more accurately,
15:47the saber-toothed lion is out of his cage.
15:51Wilma, who is that?
15:54Uh, who is what, dear?
15:57The guy sitting on our bed making all that rocket.
16:02Why, that's our new border, silly.
16:04Don't tell me you can't remember suggesting a border.
16:07Oh, yeah, that's right.
16:08I did suggest a border.
16:10But I didn't suggest him.
16:24That does it.
16:30No, no, Barney.
16:32No.
16:34Just let me get my hands on him for five seconds.
16:36Please, Betty, please, five seconds, please.
16:38Pull it down, will you, please?
16:40I must have quiet when I'm doing my homework.
16:47He's staying here two weeks, and that's final.
16:51We must help students get an education.
16:54If people didn't encourage musical talent,
16:57where would our future Louis Primas come from?
17:00As a matter of fact, it's our patriotic duty.
17:07I'm putting him for the Purple Heart.
17:11Not only are we helping our nation's educational program, Fred,
17:15but in two weeks, we'll be $500 ahead.
17:19$500?
17:20How?
17:21How?
17:22Uh, it's one of those package deals.
17:26You know, fringe benefits, educational subsidies,
17:29stuff like that.
17:30Oh, yeah, yeah, I heard of that, I think.
17:34Now, why don't you calm down
17:36and go bowl a few games with Barney?
17:39That's a good idea.
17:41With so much money coming in,
17:42I can afford to put a few games on the cuff.
17:45So long, honey.
17:46See you later.
17:47Phew.
17:49You almost had me then.
17:51Betty and I want to keep that prize money as a surprise.
17:56Watch this, Barney.
17:57A reverse strike off the backboard.
18:09Hey, that's a pretty good shot, Fred.
18:11There's nothing to it.
18:12I just think of those pins as bongo drums
18:15and I can't miss.
18:20Hey, well, it's only for two weeks
18:22and the dough we'll get for room and board is worth it.
18:25Yeah, it'll be hard on the nerves,
18:27but for 500 bucks, I guess I can take it for two weeks.
18:34What's holding dinner up, Wilma? I'm starved.
18:36Coming right up, Fred.
18:38I've got two Swiss brontosaurus steaks tonight.
18:41Dig in, boys.
18:43Excuse me, Mr. Flintstone.
18:46Hey, what's the idea of taking a big piece?
18:49I'm a growing boy.
18:50Well, you're not going to grow any older if you pull that stuff.
18:53Now put that steak back.
18:56Help! Mrs. Flintstone, he's at it again.
18:59Stop that, Fred. You'll make Sully late for work.
19:02I'd like to make Sully late for his next birthday.
19:08I'm telling you, Barney, I can't take much more of this.
19:11I've been on a diet ever since that Sully kid has been in our house.
19:15I didn't plan it. It just worked out that way.
19:18I know how you feel, Fred.
19:19Things are the same at my house, but it's only for ten more days.
19:23Seems more like ten more years.
19:27All right, Mrs. Flintstone.
19:29Let's see the act you and Mrs. Rubble have worked out.
19:32Okay. It's a good act, but maybe you can put some polish to it.
19:37We'll try.
19:38Start whenever you're ready.
19:39A one, a two, a...
19:42We're two little girls that have lost their dollies, lost their dollies, lost their dollies.
19:47We're two little girls that have lost their dollies.
19:48Hold it. Hold it.
19:51What's wrong?
19:52You've lost us.
19:54No matter how we tried to polish that act, it'd still be dull.
19:58Well, I think we better work up a new one for you with some real way out singing and dancing.
20:04Well, that'd be swell, huh, Betty?
20:07Yeah, considering we've been doing that dolly act for five years and never won.
20:15Boy, I never saw a time drag so slow.
20:19Five more days.
20:21Dinner's ready, Fred.
20:29Hurry up, dear. It'll get cold.
20:32What's the matter with her?
20:38Here you are, dear.
20:44Okay, hold it. Hold it.
20:47Yes, Fred?
20:48What's with the floor show?
20:50Nothing, Fred.
20:51I just feel happy.
20:57Happy, huh?
20:58Let me tell you something, Wilma.
21:00If you get any happier, the happy wagon will back up to the door for you.
21:05Come to think of it, I'm happy myself tonight.
21:07This is my first meal without Sully around.
21:13Hiya, Mr. Flintstone.
21:22Mrs. Flintstone, he did it again.
21:28Well, Barney boy, today's the last day for the boarders.
21:32Right, Fred, out they go.
21:34Ever since that kid's been boarding with us, Betty's been acting peculiar, singing crazy
21:39stuff like, you know, jiggling all over the house.
21:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:45Wilma's been doing the same thing.
21:47If it wasn't for the dough we're going to get, I would have knocked it off long ago.
21:50Well, it's all over now.
21:52When we get home, we'll throw them out.
21:56That will be a pleasure.
21:59Well, Mrs. Flintstone and Mrs. Rubble, this is goodbye.
22:03You're doing real well with your new act.
22:05I bet you you take first prize.
22:07Thanks, boys.
22:09Are you sure you won't stay longer?
22:10Uh, no thanks, Mrs. Flintstone.
22:12A deal's a deal.
22:13Besides, Mr. Flintstone doesn't like me.
22:16Oh, you're wrong.
22:18He just has trouble showing it.
22:20Uh-huh.
22:22There they are.
22:23Out, you guys.
22:25Hit the bricks.
22:26Out, out, out.
22:27You're right, Mrs. Flintstone.
22:29He has a real tough time showing it.
22:32Goodbye, folks.
22:33You were all swell to us.
22:34Goodbye, boys.
22:35Goodbye.
22:36Drop in sometime to say hello.
22:39Oh, Fred, they really weren't bad kids.
22:41Yeah, yeah, I know.
22:44So long, fellas.
22:45Yeah, good luck and Scooby-Doo-Bee-Doo-Doo-Doo-Doo to you.
22:52Well, that's it.
22:53Okay, Wilma, where's the money?
22:56Money?
22:56What money?
22:58What money?
22:59Well, the money you bought is paid you the 500 bucks.
23:02Oh, they weren't supposed to pay any money, Fred.
23:05No, it was a package deal.
23:07A package deal?
23:08You mean there's a string to it?
23:10Sit down, boys.
23:12Betty and I will explain the whole thing.
23:25I still say this is silly, Fred.
23:27We drive the girls all the way down,
23:29and then we stand outside
23:30when we could be inside watching the show.
23:33You mean watching Wilma and Betty
23:35make a show with themselves, don't you?
23:37Besides, I'm still sore about putting up
23:40with two weeks of bongo drumming for nothing.
23:43Ladies and gentlemen,
23:45the judges have reached a decision
23:47on the talent contest.
23:49Hey, Fred, Fred, they're gonna announce the winner.
23:51Nah.
23:52The winners are
23:53Mrs. Fred Flintstone
23:56and Mrs. Barney Rubble.
23:58Uh, Rubble.
24:06Likewise, I'm sure.
24:07Hey, did you hear that, Fred?
24:08The girls won 500 bucks.
24:10I, I, I, I can't believe it.
24:12Now ain't you sorry for being such a sore head?
24:15Come on, Barney, we got things to do.
24:18Hey, Fred, wait.
24:19What are you talking about?
24:20Never mind, pal.
24:21Just get in the car,
24:22and I'll explain later.
24:26Ooh, I can't wait
24:27until I get hold of that Fred.
24:29And Barney's got a lot of explaining to do, too.
24:33Not coming in to watch our act is bad enough,
24:35but taking the car
24:37and leaving us stranded is too much.
24:39Men are such sore heads
24:41when their wives make good.
24:42Yeah, like spoiled kids.
24:53Fred, Barney, what are you doing?
24:56Well, I figured that since you gals won tonight,
24:59Barney and I'll be as cinch
25:00to win next year's show
25:01with the act we'll work up.
25:03Hit it, Barney boy!
25:08A year of this?
25:10Don't worry, Wilma.
25:12You'll be dispossessed in a week.
25:14I can hardly wait.
25:17Men.
25:18Men.
25:19Men.
25:22Men.
26:07Wilma, come on, Wilma, open this door.
26:13Wilma!
