Curly sees a waiter and puts two fingers in his mouth to whistle. Moe slaps him down (what else would he do?) and says “Not that way you dummy! This is a CLASSY joint.” Waves his arm and say “Hey, waiter!” Perfect. ---

My favorite exchange between Moe and Curly also happened verbatim between my ex-wife and me (she’d never seen the episode which made it even funnier): Curly and Moe/Max and Ex run into each other. Curly/Max: Why I oughta…! Moe/Ex (with irate voice): You oughta what?! Curly/Max (backing down): I oughta be more careful! ---
