OK, you oldsters, refer me to however many other threads deal with this already, or suffer along with all the other unenlightened (read: “women”) and unappreciative heathen (again\*…, read: “women”) out there.  
Curly: “Oh Moe! I tried to think, but nothing happened!”

(All time favorite, thanks John Cool.)

Curly: “My uncle was a sculptor. He was the biggest chiseler in town!”  
Curly: "Hey Moe, look, I’m a (insert profession here)… "  
Larry: “Oh Moe! Moe! We’re trapped like rats in a trap!”  
Moe: “Speak for yourself, rodent!”  
Larry (to Moe after being whacked with a wad of cash):

“It’s a good thing you hit me with money, or I’d resent that.”  
Moe: “My favorite… (cologne), ‘Lily of the Alley’.”  
Moe: “Why I oughta…”  
Moe (to Larry): “Listen here porcupine.”  
Larry: “What’s eating him?”  
Moe: “Maybe he eats his soup with a knife.”  
Shemp (retorts, while getting the snot whaled out of him by Moe and Larry):

“Had enough?”  
OK, start pouring in with the other threads, or you’d better come up with some awfully good quotes, sites or excerpts.

Note: In France, “The Three Stooges” are called, “Les Trois Imbeciles”, c’est tout excellent, non? But, then again, we’re talking about a country that worships Jerry Lewis (Diiiinnnnnooooo!) as some sort of God. Go figure…

- What’s so funny about a bunch of guys hitting each other?

“Moe, Larry, the cheese!”  
“Spread out!”  
“Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard.”  
“For duty and humanity!”  
“I’m a victim of soicumstance!”  
“Drop the vernacular.” “Vernacular? That’s a doiby.”

Larry:“Enchanted!”  
Moe:“Enraptured!”  
Curly:“Embalmed!”
