- 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.
- 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: [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?
