Question
On this episode (i think) Fred gives four phrases needed to be a boss (one of them was "Let's go with that" i think).  Can you tell me the four phrases?

Thanks

Answer
HI

Actually "Boss For A Day" aired in the 6th season and that is not the episode you are referring to. On Boss for A Day The Great Gazoo makes Fred boss of the gravelpit while Slate is the employee in order to prove to Fred being boss is not all its cracked up to be.

The episode you referred to is called "The Tycoon" which aired in the first season. On that episode Fred fills in for a business tycoon named JL Godrocks who looks exactly like Fred but is wealthy. JL is tired of the job so he quits. His employees look for JL and find look alike Fred Flintstone and ask him to fill in until they find JL.

Fred though does not know the job so his employees give him three phrases to say. They are "Whose Baby Is That?", "What's Your Angle?", and "I'll Buy That".

Also the concept of FRed filling in for a lookalike also is repeated in Season 5 episode "King For A Night" when Fred fills in for a king who visits Bedrock who also is tired of his job.

Thanks
