- Omay: How is it possible to make so much noise painting?
- Moe: You don't know us guys. We make noise stuffing a mattress.
- Moe: [trying to teach Pig Latin to Curly] Boy, are you umb-day!
- Curly: Oh, you mean I'm Umb-Day in pig language?
- Moe: You're umb-day in any language.
- Curly: Oh, thank you.
- Thaddeus Smirch: Gosh, I'd sure like to help. You know, I haven't had a paintbrush in my hand in years.
- 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.
- [reaching back to punch him, Moe accidentally conks Larry in the mouth, who yelps in pain]
- Moe: Shut up.
- Curly: Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck.
- [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.
- Curly: When did he move his office to the basement?
- Moe: A week ag...
- [as he slaps Curly's head, Curly bumps into Larry, nearly knocking them down the shaft, too]
- Moe: [pulling them back] Easy.
- Curly: Don't ever do that.
- 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.
- [shaking hands]
- Moe: Hiya, Mrs. Pindle. Meet my partner.
- Larry: [offering his hand] Hello.
- Moe: [slapping it away] Get out.
- Larry: [playing checkers with paint cans] I'm a king. Now crown me.
- Curly: [putting his bowler on the can] You're lucky.
- Moe: You guys don't get to work, I'll crown you. Get it outta here!
- Moe: My name is Moe.
- Curly: How are you?
- Moe: Fine, thanks. I...
- [flinching, then clenching his teeth]
- Moe: My name is Moe. In pig Latin, that Oe-May.
- Larry: My name is Larry. Now, what's that in pig Latin?
- Curly: Oe-May.
- 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?
- Moe: [trying to teach pig Latin to Curly] Now, I'll explain it so even you can understand it.
- [as Curly puts his hands on his chin attentively, Moe slaps him]
- Moe: Now, follow me. Larry, Arry-Lay. Moe, Oe-May. Curly...
- Curly: Curlycue.
- 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.
- Butler: Gentlemen. You're not going to paint that table?
- Curly: Why, certainly.
- Butler: But you can't do that! It's a rare antique!
- Moe: What? That old thing?
- Butler: It once belonged to Louis XVI!
- Larry: Oh, second hand, eh?
