Spoilers Off for Moments pages! You Have Been Warned!

  • Peezer's best friend Murph in the third act is suffering from metal poisoning.
    Larry: Why isn't she in a hospital?
    Mother Superior: Well...
    Sister Mary-Mengele: I'll tell you why. Because we don't have any medical insurance.
    Larry: You should get some. Just call that little green alligator guy.
    Sister Mary-Mengele: Okay, that's it! I've had it with you! Do you wanna know why we have no medical insurance? It's because you wombats have cause so many accidents over the years, there's not a company on this earth that'll cover us until we pay the $830,000 we owe for previous claims! And that's why we're being closed down!
    Mother Superior: That's enough, sister.
    Curly: Wait, wait! You mean the orphanage is closing... because of us?
    Sister Mary-Mengele: Check it out, Larry, Curly! You're responsible for that. You are, and that other moron!
  • The Stooges part ways after 30 years together.
    Moe: Look, if you two got ants in your pants, then why don't ya just leave? I'm gettin' sick and tired at lookin' at your monkey-faces anyhow. Bein' with you two is like draggin' around a couple of boat anchors!
    Larry and Curly share a shocked look.
    Curly: (hurt by Moe's words) Well, fine. Then... goodbye, Moe.
    Larry: (stern) Yeah. Goodbye.
    Moe: Well, what are ya waitin' for?! Go on, scram! I bet you two earthworms won't last a day without me!
    Curly, still hurt by Moe's harsh words, waves his arm at him and runs off. Larry picks up a piece of his hair from prior to their slapfight before giving Moe a scowl and leaving.
    Moe looks on at his friends leaving, while still mad. As they leave, his expression turns into a sad frown.
  • After the Stooges had saved Teddy from being rubbed out by his father and wife, they ask for the money they need to pay off their home's debts. His response:
    Teddy: No. That guy that adopted me? He shipped me off to military school when I was seven. And then he just... he just tried to murder me! And run off with my wife! And you expect me to just give money to the women who handed me over to that monster? I'm sorry, guys, I'd do anything for those kids and you guys, but... I can't do that. I'm sorry.
  • Two months later, the Stooges return from their failed attempt to save the orphanage. They look on on their closed home.
    Moe: Well, we sure botched this one up pretty good.
    Larry: What else is new?
