• Curly : Wait a minute, wait a minute! You said you were gonna divide everything up equally!

  Moe : Oh, ungrateful, eh?

  Curly : Yeah!

  Moe : We get a half a slice of ham and a half an egg apiece. You get a whole bone and a whole eggshell, and you're squawkin'!

  Curly : I'm sorry, fellas... gee, you guys are swell to me.

• Curly : [noticing the door knob hanging off his tooth]  Oh!

  [picks it up] 

  Curly : Look at that tooth! It's a whoppah! And look at that root! You know if I belonged to the Elks, I'd wear this on my watch-chain... if I had a watch-chain.

  Moe : You pumpkin head! That's not your tooth, that's the door knob!

  Curly : Oh... no wonder my tooth still hurts - -

  [clutches his tooth in pain] 

  Curly : Ooh, my tooth!

• Moe : Clean this ham!

  Curly : I'll clean it when I'm ready!

  Moe : Are you ready?

  Curly : Yeah, I'm ready...

• Curly : Oh, my poor tooth. Fix it.

  Moe : [to Larry]  Go get my fishing line.

  Curly : Is this gonna hoit?

  Moe : Of course not. I won't even feel it.

• Larry : [after a failed attempt to pull Curly's tooth]  This is not gonna work.

  Moe : I got a better idea. I've got it!

  Curly : Every time you got it, I get it.

• Larry : [to Curly; who's blubbering over his toothache and walking around on the top bunk, keeping him and Moe awake]  BE QUIET AND GO TO SLEEP!

  Curly : How can I go to sleep with this tooth killing me?

  Moe : [wearily]  All right, come on down and we'll fix it.
