Fred Flintstone : Now, let's see, what's the first thing I'll do with all this dough?
Wilma Flintstone : Return it.
Fred Flintstone : I'll get me one of those snazzy sports cars, maybe two. One to go to work in and one to come home in, and then I'll...
[pauses]
Fred Flintstone : Wilma, it sounded like you said ''return it.''
Wilma Flintstone : That's right, Fred. Return it.
Fred Flintstone : You've been twisting your hair curlers too tight, Wilma. This dough belongs to me.
Wilma Flintstone : Fred Flintstone, you don't really believe that money dropped on you because you wished for it?
Betty Rubble : How could you?
Fred Flintstone : It's easy. I force myself.

Barney Rubble : Cheer up, Fred. Remember the old saying, ''Honesty is the best policy.''
Fred Flintstone : With my income, I can't afford the best.

[after Fred tells an exaggerated story about how he caught the robbers to the reporters]
Wilma Flintstone : Thanks for sparing a few seconds of your time, O hero of heroes.
Barney Rubble : Boy, what a story, Fred.
Betty Rubble : It's a good thing I was there. I'd never recognize it.
Fred Flintstone : Okay, okay, so I colored it a bit. It makes for better reading in the newspapers.
Barney Rubble : Hey, what about the reward, Fred?
Fred Flintstone : I already told you. I intend to be fair about it.
Barney Rubble : Well, good. There are a few things I want to buy.
Betty Rubble : Me too.
Wilma Flintstone : And so do I.
[on the phone]
Wilma Flintstone : Hello, Rockville Department Store? This is Wilma Flintstone. Send up all those dresses I looked at last week.
Betty Rubble : And some hats, Wilma. Don't forget the hats.
Barney Rubble : Uh, and I need a new fishing pole. Uh, have some poles sent over, too.
Fred Flintstone : Hold it, hooold it! What do you think you're doing? There won't be any reward money left for me.
Wilma Flintstone : Oh, we'll be fair about it, Fred.
Fred Flintstone : Oh, yeah? Well, you're not going to get away with it.
Wilma Flintstone : Either we get away with this or you don't get away with that story you're telling... Mr. Hero.
Fred Flintstone : You mean you'd tell? My wife? My two best friends?
Wilma Flintstone , Barney Rubble , Betty Rubble : Mm-hmm.
Fred Flintstone : No. You couldn't. I'd be the laughingstock of the neighborhood.
Wilma Flintstone : [back on the phone] Now, as I was saying, besides the clothes, send up a new sewing machine.
Barney Rubble : Yeah, a-and a new bowling ball.
Betty Rubble : And some travel folders.
Fred Flintstone : No, no, no, no, take it easy. What do I get out of all this?
Wilma Flintstone : [on the phone] And give the bill to Mr. Flintstone.

[Fred and Barney hear a police siren]
Fred Flintstone : It's the cops!
Barney Rubble : So what, Fred? We're not the crooks.
Fred Flintstone : Yeah, I know, but they don't. We got the stolen money in my car. They're gonna shoot first and ask questions later, remember?
Barney Rubble : Oh, we'll just tell them what happened, Fred.
Fred Flintstone : Oh, sure, sure. Who's gonna believe I wished for the money and it just dropped on my head?
Barney Rubble : Well, you believed it, Fred.
Fred Flintstone : Well, the cops won't. They'll lock me up for a nut.
