Quotes
-
Fred Flintstone : [Fred just opened the door and meets Mr Gruesome for the first time] Hello Mr Flintstone. I'm Gruesome.
Fred Flintstone : Yeah, you are, sort of. But knowing it is half the battle.
Weirdly Gruesome : You can call me Weirdly.
Fred Flintstone : I was just about to do that.
-
Weirdly Gruesome : Oh yes. Our son Gob is quite the little lad.
Barney Rubble : Gob? Is he a sailor?
Barney Rubble : Oh no. Gob is short for Goblin.
Fred Flintstone : It figures, it figures. Does little Goblin have a pet spider that looks like a derby hat with legs?
Weirdly Gruesome : He did have, but little Gob, shall we say, wore him out.
Fred Flintstone : Yeah, let's say that. Spiders can't take it.
Weirdly Gruesome : Goblin isn't the kind of boy that you don't take to when you first meet him.
Fred Flintstone : I'll buy that.
Weirdly Gruesome : But when you get to know him, you can't stand him!
[laughs evilly]

Barney Rubble : [watching the Gruesomes arrive in their car, which is a hearse] Hey Fred, what kind of car is that?
Fred Flintstone : That is the kind of car that takes you there but doesn't bring you back.

Wilma Flintstone : [to the Gruesomes as they leave] See you later, neighbors!
Fred Flintstone : What's with the "see you later" stuff? I don't wanna see them later! I'm gruesomed up to here!
-
Wilma Flintstone : Mr. Gruesome, will you bring your wife over to have some tea and sandwiches?
Weirdly Gruesome : Thank you. I will. But I really would've liked to have had some red ants.
Fred Flintstone : [laughs] There he goes again. Isn't he a scream? What a sense of humor!
Wilma Flintstone : Red ants?
Barney Rubble : I don't get it.
Betty Rubble : I don't want it.
-
Betty Rubble : I'll bet that Mrs. Gruesome is very attractive.
Wilma Flintstone : That's right. Usually when the husband is, well, you know, the wife is very pretty. Right, Fred?
Fred Flintstone : And vicey versey.
[the group hears a knock on the door]
Betty Rubble : Here they come.
[the door opens]
Weirdly Gruesome : Mrs. Flintstone, this is my nauseatingly lovely wife, Creepella.
Wilma Flintstone : Oh. Oh, hello, Mrs. Gruesome.
Creepela : You may call me Creepy, cookie.
Wilma Flintstone : Creepy?
Fred Flintstone : [to Barney and Betty] That's one of those vicey verseys.
