Funny movie quotes Three Stooges Nutty But Nice (1940) starring Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard
Funny quotes from one of the Three Stooges’ best short films, Nutty but Nice. Three singing comedy waiters (Moe, Larry, Curly) try to cheer up a sick child whose father has been kidnapped. Failing, they decide to find the missing man by … yodeling? Very funny, and heart-warming as well.
Moe (Moe Howard): Hiya, doctor.
Dr. Walters (Vernon Dent): Hi, what have you today boys?
Moe (Moe Howard): Tell him what we have.
Curly (Curly Howard): Well, doc I’ve a terrific pain right here. Everytime I squeeze my Adam’s Apple I can taste cider.
Curly (Curly Howard): This soup is a marvelous accomplishment! It’s a prodigious achievement! You’re gonna love it! It’s putrid!
Curly (Curly Howard): Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cockle shells, and one measly petunia.
Moe (Moe Howard): What?
Curly (Curly Howard): Petunia! Petunia!
Moe (Moe Howard): Don’t you mean chrysanthemum-mum-mum-mum-mum?
Curly (Curly Howard): I mean petunia!
Moe (Moe Howard): I heard you the first time. [smacks Curly with a balloon]
[The Stooges are looking for a man who measures 5’10” in his stocking feet]
Moe (Moe Howard): That can’t be him.
Curly (Curly Howard): Why not?
Moe (Moe Howard): He ain’t got no stockings on!
Gangster: Who’s there?
Curly (Curly Howard): Termites!
Larry (Larry Fine): We’re trapped like rats.
Moe (Moe Howard): Speak for yourself, rodent!
Moe (Moe Howard): Hey, the dumbwaiter!
Curly (Curly Howard): I resent that!
Moe (Moe Howard): Not you, the other dumbwaiter!
Curly (Curly Howard): I’m not gonna walk around in the dark any longer, I’m gonna take this with me! [unscrews light bulb, which stays lit as Curly carries it off]
Moe (Moe Howard): He’s haunted.
Curly (Curly Howard): [Curly seems to have an arrow through his stomach] I’m dead. I’m murdered. I’m killed. I’m annihilated. What will the world do without me? What will I do without myself?
[Moe has a closer look to see that’s a curved-in- the-middle fake arrow that’s around his waist, he pulls it off]
Curly (Curly Howard): I’m slaughtered. I’m annihilated. I’m destroyed. I’m barbecued. I’m done for!
[to Moe]
Curly (Curly Howard): Can you think of anything else?
Moe (Moe Howard): No. You covered it all.
Curly (Curly Howard): I’m not even wounded?
Moe (Moe Howard): That’s what you think.
[strikes him in the gut with the fake arrow]
