Curly Howard: Curly

Quotes 

• Curly : [thinking Moe is dead]  Poor Moe.

  Larry : Oh, woe is Moe.

  Moe : [comes up with an ax]  Oh, WOE is you!

  Larry : Whoa, Moe!

• Curly : Hey, did you see a trombone slide anyplace?

  Moe : Why, yes. Is this it?

  Curly : Yeah. Gimme it.

  Moe : You got it.

  [Curly and Larry moan and groan in pain as Moe ties it around their necks] 

  Moe : Now play it, you rats!

• Curly : You can take my word, Moe, I...

  Moe : Your word's no good. At least I'll get my rightful share of those potatoes.

  [seeing Larry eating and the plate empty] 

  Moe : Oh, another chisler, eh?

  [slapping him] 

  Moe : What's the matter with you?

  Larry : Wait a minute, I didn't do nothing.

  Moe : You didn't do nothing, eh? You ate everything but the platter.

• Moe : You worm! Where's your manners? Why didn't you leave me some of them eggs?

  Curly : I didn't touch 'em.

  Moe : Ah, shut up and don't make things worse. The next time a thing like that happens, I'll gouge your eyes out.

  Curly : But you can't...

  Moe : I'll tear your tonsils out. You ain't supposed to eat until we're all seated and everybody has an equal chance.

  Curly : Aw, shut up.

  [sticking out his tongue] 

  Curly : Mlehhh!

  Moe : [retrieving something from a shelf]  What'd you say?

  Curly : [sticking out his tongue again]  Mlehhh!

  Moe : [pouring salt on his tongue]  Now behave yourself.

• Judge : Mr. Moe, you're accused of assaulting your two roommates with intent to commit mayhem.

  Curly : You mean murder!

  Larry : Yeah, and he tried to kill us, too!

  Moe : [banging gavel]  QUIET!

• Moe : [Curly accidentally spills spaghetti on him]  You're a nitwit, that's what you are! What's the matter with you?

  Curly : Hey Moe, there's a b-b-b-b-bear in the window.

  Moe : You're wacky. What do you mean a bear in the window? There's no bear around here.

  [Moe goes to the window and looks around; the bear growls and smacks him in the head] 

  Moe : Oh! Oh! Oh! You're right. There is a bear around here.

• Curly : How do you like the eggs?

  Moe : Sunny-side down. And don't turn 'em over.

• Curly : [seeing the bear unconscious]  Hey, Larry, we got him! We got him! Look.

  Larry : Are you sure he's dead?

  Curly : Soitenly. If you don't believe me, put your head to his chest and listen to his heart.

  Larry : I'll take your word for it. Say, he'll make a beautiful rug. Do you know a taxidermist?

  Curly : Soitenly. My cousin Ollie from Pittsburgh, he drives a taxi.

  Larry : Taxidermist! Taxidermist!

  Curly : Taxidermist to you, too.

• Curly : [finding the bear's den]  He went in there.

  Moe : Well, go on after him. What's stopping you?

  Curly : The bear.

  Moe : Why, you...

  [he moves to eye-poke Curly, who blocks it with his gun] 

  Curly : Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.

  Moe : [slapping him]  Go on!

• Curly : [after Larry shoots Moe, thinking he's a black bear]  Hey, what are you doing here? You look just like the bear.

  Moe : Shut up! Gimme that gun.

  Larry : I didn't do nothing...

  Moe : Shut up!

  [thrusting the butt on the ground, accidentally discharging it through the roof] 

  Moe : [a dead duck lands in front of them]  Boy, a duck!

  Curly : That's what I call hunting.

  Moe : [seeing him look through the hole in expectation]  What are you doing?

  Curly : Waitin' for the dressing and the cranberry sauce.

• Larry : There, it was only the trap. What's the idea scaring us half to death?

  Curly : The bear was here in person, I tell ya. I saw him with my eyes, I heard him with my ears, and his trap got me by the tail.

  Larry : Where did he go?

  Curly : That way.

  Larry : Come on.

  [they head off in the opposite direction]
