Sergeant Moe (Moe Howard biography): Detective Bureau, Sgt. Moe speakin’! [ pause ] Yes, Collins? [ pause ] You say you don’t know what to do about a woman being annoyed by a man with a wooden leg by the name of Smith?! [pause] Well, find out the name of his other leg! [hangs up phone] I have to do everything around here!

Sergeant Moe (Moe Howard biography): Yeah?
Larry: She broke it off.
Sergeant Moe (Moe Howard biography): The engagement?
Larry: No, the leg.
Shemp Howard: Where were you born?
Slick Chick: In bed. I wanted to be near my mother.
[Repeated line]
Sergeant Moe: I have to do everything around here!
[Shemp is banging his head on the desk as part as his ‘thinking’ method]

Moe: What?
Shemp: A terrific headache.
Sergeant Moe: Quiet, everyone! Genius at work!
Larry: Are you guilty?
Chopper: I am the culprit of this heinous crime.
Moe: Not gonna talk, eh?
Chopper: I reiterate …
Moe: Not in here you don’t!
Larry: Hey babe, you forgot something!
[she slaps him in the face]
Larry: That’s what you forgot!
Moe: You say there’s a dead horse on Ticonderoga Street? How do you spell Ticonderoga? You don’t know either? Well, drag him to Third Avenue.
Larry: That’s evidence!
Moe: Did you right it down?
Larry: (pockets full of pens) No, I couldn’t find a pencil. (Moe hits him)
Moe: (to Shemp) Did you?
Shemp: No. (Moe hits him)
Shemp and Larry: Did you?
Moe: (slaps Shemp and Larry) No!
Shemp: Release that guy who stole eleven bottles of whiskey. I know he’s guilty, but the DA said we can’t make a case out of eleven bottles.
Shemp: (after hitting Moe with a baseball bat) Moe! I meant to hit the other monkey.
