Moe : Ma sent us here to keep you from marrying that blonde.
Curly : And I aim to do it, too. That's what I aim to do. I aim. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
Moe : [hitting him with a chicken leg] Quiet!
[Curly barks at him; as Moe moves to hit him again, Curly catches the morsel in his mouth]
Curly : [taking a bite and chewing] Mmm!
Pop Howard : Now, you boys be nice, and I'll let you come to my wedding this afternoon. Here some money; go out and get yourself some new clothes.
Moe : Nothing doing. We ain't gonna let you marry her. You can't bribe me.
Larry : Me, neither.
Curly : [taking the money] Me, too.
Moe : Give it back.
[with a groan of disappointment, Curly does]

Moe : [outside their father's estate] That's the old man's joint, all right.
Larry : Yeah, they got him behind bars, too.
Curly : You got your razor?
[calling through the gate]
Curly : Hey, warden! Hey, keeper!
Moe : [thumping him] What's the matter? This is no jail.
Curly : How are we gonna get in?
Moe : Use your head. I got it!
[taking out a chisel]
Moe : If I only had a hammer.
Curly : Hammer?
[taking a sledgehammer out of his jacket]
Curly : Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
Moe : [setting the chisel against the gate] Oh, boy. Give it all you've got. Good one.
[Curly hits Larry on the backswing, then Moe's hand]
Moe : [in pain] Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Curly : [seeing the gate open] Oh, look, it's open.
Moe : Yeah. Look what you did to my hand.
[as Curly leans in for a closer look, Moe hits him on the head with the chisel]

Daisy : Oh, he's fainted!
Chopper's Henchman : Give him some air. Bring him over here by the open window.
Curly : No, not the window!
Moe : He passed out again. Speak to me, kid. Say something. Come on, kid, please say something.
Curly : Something.
Moe : [bonking him on the head] Come on! He's all right, folks.

Chopper's Henchman : You know what to do.
Chopper's Henchman : Sure. As soon as this mug marries Daisy, we'll polish him off.
Chopper's Henchman : Yeah, but we can't shoot him. That'd make too much noise.
Curly : [eavesdropping] You think they mean me?
Moe : They don't mean me.
Larry : Me either.
Chopper's Henchman : How about choking him?
Chopper's Henchman : Nah, that'll leave fingerprints. I got it. As soon as they get married, we dump him out of a window. He falls 14 stories and it looks like an accident.
Chopper's Henchman : Great.
Moe : That guy thinks of everything.
Larry : I'm glad they made up their mind.
Moe : They had me worried.
Curly : I'm still worried.
Moe : Wait a minute. Where are you going?
Curly : After the thin man.
