Moe : Sure, you can help. Go on out there and mix us a batch of spotted paint.

Moe : [Mrs. Smirch accidentally tears her skirt] Something's going on here, boys.
Curly : It looks like something's coming off, too.

[getting eye-poked]
Curly : Ooh!

Building Superintendent : [the Stooges have stenciled tenant names on the wrong doors] What's the meaning of that?
[before Moe can speak]
Building Superintendent : Don't explain. You're fired! Now, come into my office and get your pay.
Larry : Aw, give us another chance, will you?
Building Superintendent : I'll give you a chance, all right.
[entering what's labeled his office, he falls down an elevator shaft]
Moe : I think you'd better tell Mrs. Smirch we'll take that job.

Moe : Must be a shortcut.

Maggie Smirch : Omay, I want you to meet Mrs. Pindle. She's the one that said your work is very recherché.
Moe : Oh, anybody's liable to make a mistake.
Larry : Yeah...
Moe : Shut up.
[handing his paint can to Mrs. Smirch]
Moe : Hold that.

Moe : Hiya, Mrs. Pindle. Meet my partner.
Larry : [offering his hand] Hello.
Moe : [slapping it away] Get out.

Larry : [painting a staircase] My part's done.
Moe : How are you gonna get down without spoiling the paint?
Larry : I got it. You carry me down.
Moe : [surprised he didn't think of it] Am I dumb. Hop up here.
Larry : [getting into his arms] Upsy-daisy.
Moe : [walking down the steps without thinking] Yes, sir.
[putting him down]
Moe : You're getting to be a mental giant.
Larry : Thanks.
[seeing the footsteps in the paint, Moe slaps both sides of his face]
Larry : Something went wrong. Can I help it?

Curly : [to calm him down, Moe uses a clump of Larry's hair to tickle his chin] Thank you.
Moe : [pushing him away] Here, go on. Get some work done.
[giving the hair clump back to Larry]
Moe : Here.
Larry : Hey, what about my hair?
Moe : I gave it back to you, didn't I?
[slapping him]
Moe : Come on.
