Jane, the Diamond Kid : Moe, I tell you, there's nobody here. Now, relax and sit down.
[as she pushes him onto the bed, a spring pokes Shemp, who is hiding underneath, in the butt, and he covers his mouth to stop himself from making noise]
Moe : Now, listen...
Jane, the Diamond Kid : Oh, now, Moe, baby, lie down and relax. You're getting all upset for nothing.
Moe : Well, maybe you're right.
Jane, the Diamond Kid : Why, certainly, you're being silly. You know I wouldn't have another man in this apartment.
Shemp : [her pet cat chases a mouse up his pant leg] OHHHH!
[he jumps to his feet, flipping Moe off the bed]
Moe : [trying to chase him out] I'll get you, you rat!
[as he raises a gun, Jane deflects his arm and he shoots a light fixture in the ceiling, which falls and lands on his head]

Shemp : When did you join the Women Hater's Club?
Larry : Oh, it's a long story. I'll have to tell you a little later.
Shemp : All right.
Larry : Right now, we're busy with this, you see? Oh, brother.
[pouring them each a drink and topping it off with a spritz of seltzer water]
Larry : There you are. Here's how.
Shemp : I know how.
[downing his drink, he reacts with the accompaniment of humorous sound effects]
Shemp : Too much seltzer.
Larry : [downing his own, his hair stands on end with the humorous accompaniment of a slide whistle] You're right, they do make that seltzer strong.

Shemp : [horrified when hearing Janes husband approaching] I thought you said you were separated!
Jane, the Diamond Kid : He was away on business, that's separated isn't it?
