- 'Move out.' - 'Get going.'
whirr whirr
This is your air traffic watch
reporting the latest Sunday driving condition.
If you're hoping to get somewhere
on the Bedrock freeway..
[chuckles] ...you should only live so long.
"You should only live so long."
This joker lays more eggs than any bird in Bedrock.
Come on, ya slowpoke, move it. I said move it!
vroom
Hey!
[coughs]
[laughs] Well, you got your way, Fred.
- He moved it. He-he-he. - Darn Sunday driver.
Poor Fred. Relax, dear.
It doesn't matter what time we get to Oceanrock Aquarium.
Oceanrock. Oceanrock. Fishie.
Not only fishies, Pebbles, but you and Bamm-Bamm
are gonna see the famous performing seal.
Oh, yeah, Dripper the sealasaurus.
You hear that Bamm-Bamm? You're gonna see Dripper!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Ow! Can't you control him, Barney?
Of course, I can. Now cut it out, Bamm-Bamm.
'You wanna bust your new club?'
Clubs don't grow on trees, you know?
Hey, come to think of it, they do.
Oh, boy, I don't know which is worse
Barney, you or this freeway.
Well, you got me there, Fred. Why don't we take a vote?
[both chuckle]
It's the exit, Fred!
'You missed the Oceanrock exit.'
Gee, Fred, those new brakes work good.
(Fred) 'Yeah, yeah, they really grip the road.'
[instrumental music]
vroom
"Adults, $2. Children, 50 cents!"
Okay, Wilma, you know what to do.
- Oh, Fred, do we have to? - Yeah.
Now, go on buy the tickets.
Two adults and four children.
That's four children's tickets?
- Right. - Come on, children.
Gaga. Dee. Dee. Gaga. Dede.
Gaga. Goo goo goo.
Dada saving $3.
Uh, gaga, goo goo goo, dada. Cheapskate.
Those two look awfully old for kids.
Yes, I know. They worry a lot.
- Oh. - Uh, let's see now.
That's four children's tickets and two adults. Thank you.
Hey, hey, looks like we got away with it, Fred.
Told you so, Barn. A penny saved is a penny..
Hey! What's the big idea?
Oops. I mean..
Goo goo, dada, dadada.
Hey, he's puttin' the squeeze on us, Fred.
We gotta buy adult tickets.
Ooh! I'd say it's more of a sh-shakedown!
thud
Oh, if there's anything I can't stand
it's a company octopusaurus.
If there's anything I can't stand, it's a penny pincher.
And if there's anything I can't stand, it's a people pincher.
Dwipper! Dwipper! Dwipper!
That's right, Pebbles, Dripper.
And he's going to do all his tricks for us.
Fifteen minutes till his next show.
That gives us time to look at some of the other fish.
Oh, what fun!
Hey, uh, how 'bout starting off with a barra-cookies?
[chuckles] Uh, what about the pickled herrings?
[both chuckle]
I'll pickle you. Come on.
[instrumental music]
- There he is, Blinky. - Where?
bam
Hey! Watch it, mister. Look where you're goin'!
You nearsighted Neanderthal.
That's Dripper. The one we're puttin' the snatch on.
Oh. Why didn't you say so, Muscles?
I-I'll have a look with my reading glasses.
Yeah, yeah, he-he's the one, alright!
Wonder what the boss wants him for.
Who cares? All I know is that
when Mrs. Big says to do somethin', we do it.
Yeah. There's nothin' like workin' for Mrs. Big.
I wonder what happened to Mr. Big.
Same thing that'll happen to us if we go back
without that sealasaurus.
Come on, let's get our seats for the show.
I'm right behind you, Muscles.
bam
Oh, it's you again. Come on! Put 'em up!
(Muscles) 'This way, Blinky.'
Oceanrock is interesting, isn't it, Betty?
I never realized there were so many species.
Yeah, and there are lots of different kinds of fish too.
- Hey, look at that one. - "Loan Shark."
[chuckles] I don't I'd like to borrow any money from him.
clang clang clang
What is that?
clang clang clang
Look, Pebbles, the swordfish are dueling.
Did you ever see such fancy bladework?
[chuckles] Come on, swordy, parry, thrust!
'Thrust, parry!'
Ow. Ooh.
[grunts]
Boy, what acting. He's the hammiest fish I've ever seen!
Hammy, huh? What's he expect from his two bucks?
Marlin Minnow?
(man on PA) 'Attention, please.'
'Everybody to the Aqua Stadium.'
'The show is about to begin!'
Let's go, everybody. We don't wanna miss Dripper.
Dwipper! Dwipper!
Hey, uh, wait for me!
screech
Uh-oh. "Mamie the Mermaid."
Eh. Hey. Uh, hiya, Mamie. Heh.
What's a pretty doll like you doin' in a tank like that, huh?
- 'Barney?' - Oh, oh, gosh.
My wife's callin'. I'll-I'll see you around.
I mean, under, ab-ab.. I'll see you.
He's cute. But I'd rather meet a nice, wealthy frogman.
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!
Oceanrock proudly presents its star attraction, Dripper!
[audience cheering]
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Dwipper! Dwipper! Dwipper!
That's right, darlin', here comes Dwipper.
I-I mean Dripper.

And here he is!

Oh, boy. Nothin' like a modest entrance.
He's coming in for a landing.
splat
arr arr arr
Ha-ha-ha.
How did you like that entrance, folks?
Very funny, you big show off.
Remember the plan, Blinky.
When the show is over, we sneak down
and stuff Dripper into this sack.
Yeah, but I don't think he'll fit, Muscles.
- He has too many legs. - Legs?
Why, you stupe you've been looking
'at a bug on your eyeglasses.'
And now, folks, the fabulous Dripper
will perform for you on the musical horns!
Oh, no, not that corny old bit.
He's gonna place the scale.
[trumpet music]
What did I tell you?
[trumpet music]
Huh?
Some scale, eh, Fred?
Oh, he-he, he's been practicing.
Well, you gotta hand it to him when it comes
to blowin' his own horn. He-he-he.
[piano music]
[music continues]
(Barney) Amazing, isn't he, Fred?
Only if you don't know his secret.
Secret? What secret?
Look at those steps he's doing, he's fakin' most of 'em.
[Fred chuckles]
[applause]
arr arr arr
He's great. I wonder what he does for an encore.
He's nearly finished, folks!
That looks right, yes, yes.
I think he's got it! That's it!
'Einstone's Theory of Relativity!'
arr arr arr
[imitates Dripper]
What's that for, Barney?
How else do you applaud a seal?
[imitates Dripper]
Now, that concludes the show, folks!
But on the way out, all you kiddies
are invited to stop by for one of Dripper's
personally autographed pictures!
arr arr arr
I want one! Let me, let me have one!
I want to have one. I want an autograph.
- Boy, look at that crowd. - Yeah.
Just as well, who cares about Dripper's autograph?
[babbling] Au-graph! Au-graph!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
[imitates Dripper]
There's your answer, Fred.
[chuckles] Okay, okay, kids.
You'll get your pictures just as soon as that crowd thins out.
Oh, gosh, thanks, Uncle Fred.
It's fun to go places with you.
[both chuckle]
What are we waitin' for, Muscles?
Let's go down and grab Dripper.
In front of all those witnesses?
What do I look like? A dumbbell?
It's hard to tell from this distance.
[chuckles] Come a little closer.
(Muscles) 'How's that?'
'Now let's go get something to eat.'
'And by the time we get back--'
I know. We'll have Dripper all to ourselves.
[chuckles] Let's go.
Hey!
This way!
arr arr arr
Let mommy see, Pebbles.
'"To Pebbles, from your pal, Dripper."'
Oh, boy, I'll have to admit he's a smart one, alright.
Say thank you, Pebbles.
[babbling] Thank you. Pebbles.
Gaga. Gee.
[chuckles] And now it's your turn, son.
His name's Bamm-Bamm.
B-A-M-M, B-A-M-M.
arr arr arr
Arr-arr-arr.
arr
Heh-heh. Barney, look's as though you've found a buddy.
- He really likes you, Barney. - Uh, yeah, ha ha.
Uh, sorry to break the news to you, Dripper
but I already have a pet named Hoppy.
[sighs] It's a long ride home, Fred. Don't you think it's time to go?
Yeah, you're right, honey. Come on, everybody.
- To the parking lot! - So long, Dripper.
- Thanks for the show. - 'Yeah.'
[imitates Dripper]
arr arr arr
Okay, here we go! Everybody comfy?
Yes, Fred, we're fine.
- 'How about a little music?' - The queen has spoken, Barney.
- Turn on the radio. - Right, Fred.
- 'How's that?' - Real good, Barney.
Here we go!
arr arr arr
Hey, Barney, will you cut that out?
I'm not doin' anything, Fred.
The seal imitation. Enough is enough. Now stop it.
Hey, it's not me, Fred. It must be comin' from the radio.
It's probably a new rock and roll group.
arr arr arr
Yeah, they'll do anything for a new sound.
[intense music]
The coast is clear. We'll go back and grab Dripper.
arr arr arr
Blinky, did you see what I saw?
No, but it sounded like Dripper!
Yeah. And he's hitchin' a ride with someone.
Come on, let's follow him.
Into the car.
whoosh
Hurry up, let's go!
Step on it! What are we waiting for?
We are waitin' for you to get glasses that fit you!
It's a wonder you can earn a living.
Oh, this isn't my regular line.
That figures. What do you usually do?
I'm a professional spy.
[chuckles]
Here you are, Dripper. Here's your dinner.
Dripper!
Dripper?
He's gone!
'Help, police!'
'Dripper's disappeared!'
(man on PA) 'Calling all cars.'
'Calling all cars.'
'Be on the lookout for Dripper, a sealasaurus.'
Height, three foot two. Weight, 60 pounds, dripping wet.
Uh, brown eyes, oily complexion.
'Uh, there's strong suspicion that Dripper'
'may have been seal-napped.'
'That is all.'
Hear that, Keystone?
Dripper's been snatched from Oceanrock.
From the aquarium, huh?
I'd say there's something fishy going on.
Here we are, gang. Home, sweet home.
Ah, it's been a memorable day, hasn't it, Barney?
You said it, Betty.
I haven't been this hot and tired in years.
What we need is a nice, cold dip in the pool.
Hey-hey, good thinkin', Fred.
Uh, hey, let's change into our suits.
I'm with you, Barney boy!
- 'Yabba dabba do!' - 'Yahoo!'
Well.
Why don't we cool off by putting the children to bed?
Good idea, Wilma.

Nice to see ya, pal.

[chuckles] Uh, come on, fella.
Uh, take it easy. Eh, what do we do with him, Fred?
We'd make sealasaurus burgers out of him if I had my way.
(Barney) 'I wonder if his trainer knows he's missing.'
Ah, I'd better report it to the police.
Keep an eye on him while I phone headquarters.
Okey-doke, Fred. Come on, Dripper.
Let's play a little ball.
Here, fetch it, boy. Fetch!

splash
arr arr arr
Okay, Blinky, you know what to do.
Right, Muscles, while you keep the car runnin'
I sneak up on Dripper and pop him into the sack.
And if he gives me any back talk he gets this!
Ow!
I wish you were able to watch what you're doin'.
Now get goin'.
Right, Muscles.
Not that way! That way!

Mrs. Big is waitin' for us.
"Flintstone." Here is the place.
Yeah. Hope this isn't another false alarm.
- Let's go out to the pool. - Well, where's Dripper?
Oh, hello, officers, you certainly got here fast.
Uh, thanks, Mr. Flintstone. Where's the seal?
- Right there in the pool. - 'All I see is water.'
(Fred) 'Dripper. Dripper!'
Here, Dripper!
Maybe he's under, holding his breath!
No, honestly, officers.
Dripper was swimmin' around here a minute ago.
Uh, did you see a sealasaurus in your pool, lady?
Well, no, I didn't see it myself
but Fred came in and told me.
(Keystone) 'That's enough, lady.'
'We're booking your husband on a 707.'
Making prank phone calls.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, officer.
I have proof. Ask my pal, Barney.
Barney? Oh, Barney?
Well, where is this Barney?
He was right here in the pool with Dripper!
That does it. Come along down to the station.
Don't worry, dear, I'll call our lawyer
and get a writ of habeas corpus.
Never mind the habeas, just get my corpus out of the clink!
[instrumental music]
(Blinky) 'You sure Mrs. Big expects us?'
Yeah. This is where she said to deliver Dripper.
Come to think of it, give me that.
I'm in charge of this here crime.
Well, have you got him, have you got him?
(Muscles) 'Yes, Mrs. B-B-Big!'
Uh, here he is, m-m-ma'am.
Uh, Dripper, and I'm the one who caught him.
Good. Good. Let's take a look at him.
Ouch. O-okay, Betty, I'll get up, I'll get up, I'll get up.
Dripper, eh?
Why, you blundering boob.
Ow!
Ouch! Ooh!
[laughs] Now you know how it feels!
It's all his fault, Mrs. Big.
He grabbed this guy in the wetsuit instead of Dripper!
I, uh, hate to butt in on a family argument, folks
so I'll just leave.
(Mrs. Big) 'Not so fast, sonny!'
We want you to stick around and go for a nice long ride.
But, uh, I don't wanna go for a ride, I get carsick.
Sorry. But we gotta make sure you don't squeal to the cops.
Excuse us, sonny, while we get the car.
Oh, boy. I don't even have ride insurance.

(Barney) 'Dripper! It's you!'
arr arr arr arr
Ha-ha. Never mind the reunion, pal. Call the police!
(Rockschnozzle) 'You know the penalty for givin' out'
'false information, Flintstone.'
This time I want the truth!
Honest, chief, Dripper was in my pool!
I saw him.
- You saw the seal in your pool? - 'Right!'
- Are you sure? - Sure I'm sure!
I saw it just as plain as the nose
on your face. Heh-heh-heh-heh.
Oh, a wise guy, eh? Throw him in the cooler, men.
[phone rings]
Police Headquarters. Chief Rockschnozzle speaking.

(Rockschnozzle) Huh? Who is this?
Sounds like somebody with larrygitis.

It's Dripper!

Hey, that's Dripper alright.
I've seen his act.
Let me talk to him, chief.
Hello, Dripper? H-have you seen Barney?
Hey, i-it's me, Fred.
Um, uh, tell the police
'they-they're gonna take me for a ride!'
Where are they? Get the address.
We're comin', Barney. Oh, where are ya?
Gee, uh, I dunno. Uh, I was in the sack.
It.. Where are we, Dripper? Quick!
arr arr arr
(Barney) 'Oh, he's smart, he's smart.'
We're at number 13, Rocky Acres.
"Number 13, Rocky Acres." Okay, let's go, men.
We'll be right there, Barney. Just stay where you are!
Just stay where I am, is he kiddin'?

Well, uh, I'm sorry, Dripper.
I-I didn't want you to be caught too.

Very touching.
Come on, it's time to go.
Yeah. On a one way ride.

Anything you wanna leave behind, bubble?
Yeah, like uh, money, jeweler, tradin' stamps?
Cut the small talk, boys, it's time to go.
[siren wailing] What's that?
screech
Okay, in there. Stay where you are.
'This is the police.'
screech
- Fred! You found us! - Thanks to Dripper.
Okay, round 'em all up, men.
'And don't let anybody get away.'
[laughs]
Once I'm inside my secret passageway
you'll never get me! Ha-ha-ha.
Come back here!
thud
Uh, he doesn't look like, uh, Mrs. Big.
It's Dripper's trainer!
Okay, mister, why did you do it?
Revenge. That's why.
I was sick and tired of playing
the second fiddle to that sealasaurus.
He took all the bows and I got nothing!
arr arr arr
You see? Even now he's got to steal the scene!
[sobbing]
Okay, take him away, men.
I'm the brains. I taught him everything.
'He couldn't even swim!'
Tsk, tsk, tsk. The poor fella.
Hey, what do you say we drive Dripper back to Oceanrock, Fred?
Not in my car, Barney.
I've had enough of him and his "Arr! Arr! Arr!"
arr arr arr
Hey! Hey, put me down! Alright! Alright.
We'll drive you home! Put me down!
One thing about Dripper, he does get a little pushy.
[both laughing]
[instrumental music]
(Barney) 'So long, Dripper.'
arr arr arr
They were sure glad to get Dripper back.
Yeah. He's a valuable animal.
Too bad he doesn't have better manners.
Well, come on, let's go.
Hey, that's a funny octopus. Heh-heh.
I think I'll throw him a peanut.
Uh, no, Fred, the sign says
"Do not feed the fish."
One little peanut can't hurt him.
chomp chomp chomp
Mm. Maybe there's more where this came from.
Nice scroll they gave me, huh, Fred?
It says, "To Barney Rubble, hero." 'Eh, that's me.'
'"In appreciation for returning Dripper."'
Oh, big deal.
All because that goofy animal followed you home.
Heh-heh. I'm glad it didn't happen to me.
Well, folks. Here we go again.
