- Barney Rubble: Why should I fill the pool for that hippopotamus next door?
- Betty Rubble: Because the wife of that hippopotamus next door happens to be my best friend, that's why.
- Wilma Flintstone: [cut to Fred and Wilma] The fence comes down because the wife of that little sawed off runt happens to be my best friend.
- Betty Rubble: [on the phone with Wilma] They haven't spoken to each other for five days. I'm sick and tired of it. I told him to go right over and make up with Fred.
- Wilma Flintstone: What did he say?
- Betty Rubble: He absolutely refused. So I said to him "I'm going to invite my mother to come visit for a few weeks if you don't".
- Wilma Flintstone: Really? What'd he say to that?
- Barney Rubble: [poking his head in the door] Hiya Wilma!
- Fred Flintstone: Who is your busom buddy, close friend, and lifelong pal?
- Barney Rubble: How many guesses do I get?
- Fred Flintstone: [to Barney] You are an ungrateful ingrate.
- [starts walking away]
- Fred Flintstone: And there's only one way to handle an ungrateful ingrate!
