Moe Howard: Moe
Quotes
-
Shemp : Hey Moe, I don't like this.
Larry : Yeah. Suppose that old chief comes back looking for his head.
Moe : Cut it out. That spook stuff is all a lot of foolishness. What's the matter, you scared?
Larry : No, just apprehensive.
Moe : Oh.
[Moe flinches]
Moe : That's a mighty fancy word. What does that "apprehensive" mean?
Larry : It means you're scared, with a college education.
Moe : Oh. You're pretty smart.
Larry : Oh, yeah.
Moe : [holds out his hand] What's that?
Larry : That's a hand.
Moe : [balls his hand into a fist] Good. What's that?
Larry : That's a fist.
[Moe punches Shemp in the eye]
Moe : What was that?
Larry : A punch in the eye.
Moe : Right.

Moe : How do you like that? "Wanted for vagrancy".
Shemp : What's vagrancy?
Larry : Boy, are you stupid. You take a flower, and it smells real nice, that's vagrancy.
Shemp : Ha ha. We can beat that rap.
Moe : You chowderhead. Vagrancy is when you're a hobo or a tramp.
Shemp : Uh-oh. We can't beat that one.
Moe : There's only one thing left to do.
Moe : We gotta pull up stakes...
Moe : Get out of town...
Larry : Yes?
Moe : And go to work.
Larry : No!
Shemp : Oh, you said a nasty word.

Pete : [reading the newspaper] "Law officers on the way. Famous Marshal and deputies expected soon to clean up town." Hey, boss, we'd better call off that bank job.
Red Morgan : No, we'll knock that job over before they get here.
[the Stooges enter; most of the bar patrons stand and leave in fear]
Moe : [to Shemp] I wish you'd get a new face. You scare people.

Red Morgan : [Red and Gladys drags Larry into the room where Pete has captured Moe at gunpoint] Nice work, Pete, where's the other one?
Pete : I don't know. Maybe Shotgun's got him.
Red Morgan : That's all right. These boys will tell us what we want to know, won't you, boys?
Moe : Why should we?
Red Morgan : [Aims his gun at Moe] Because we'll fill you full of lead, if you don't. Now, where's the money?
Moe : I don't know.
Larry : Wait a minute...
Moe : We don't know!
Larry : But, Moe...
Moe : Shut up! These tin-heart outlaws ain't got the nerve to shoot. If they did kill us, they'd all hang. That would make things even.
Larry : [Fearfully] Don't sound very even to me.
Red Morgan : All right, you guys asked for it. Now you're going to get it.

Moe : [to one of the bad guys in disguise] Come on, you're blocking my light.
