Dr. Graves : My dear doctors, it is indeed a pleasure to welcome you here for the beginning of your practice. This letter states that in this group, there are three of you who are not overly bright, but you graduated 'cause you had been in the senior class too many years. Your identity I shall keep secret, and will disclose to no one on one condition: that you try hard, and forever devote your lives to the glorious cause of duty and humanity.
Dr. Moe Howard , Dr. Curly Howard , Dr. Larry Fine : [pushing their way to the front] We will!
