Funny movie quotes from Hold That Lion (1947) starring The Three Stooges - Moe, Larry, Shemp, Curly
Moe: It’s a matter of principle with me! I’ll close that drawer if it’s the last thing I’ll ever do! (slams the drawer on Larry and Shemp’s hands, the drawer springs back and hits Moe in the face) (weakly) That’s the last thing I’ll ever do ...
Shemp, Larry, Moe: We’ll get the filthy moocher, The Moola, the Geidas, No Slippery guy named Slipp, Is ever gonna’ cheat-us, A-zee, a-zie, a-zoh!
Shemp: Them’s fighting words in my country!
McDonald: (rolling up his sleeves) Then let’s fight!
Shemp: We’re not in my country.
(Moe breaks a goldfish bowl off Shemp’s head with the handle of a pistol)
Shemp: Thanks. I would never have gotten out of there by myself.
Moe: You sure you’re alright?
Shemp: Never felt better in my life. Let’s go! (faints)
Larry: I wonder what’s wrong with him?
Moe: He must have indigestion.
Larry: I smell somethin’ awful.
Moe: You telling me? Why don’tcha use cologne?
Moe: Say, what’s a good word for “scrutiny”?
Shemp: Scrutiny.
Moe: I’m sure I heard something.
Larry: I smell something.
Moe: Me, too. Why don’t you use cologne?
(lion roars)
Pullman porter: [as lion claws his backside] Help! Help! I’m losin’ mah mind!
Trivia from Hold That Lion(1947) starring the Three Stooges—Moe, Larry, Shemp, Curly
- The only short of The Three Stooges to feature all three Howard brothers - Moe Howard, Curly Howard and Shemp Howard - together. However, they did appear in the 1930 Ted Healy Stooge movie, Soup to Nuts (1930).
- This was the 100th short The Three Stooges made with Columbia.
- Curly Howard had suffered a series of strokes in 1945 that forced him to leave the team. His cameo (as the man asleep on the train - with long hair and a clothespin on his nose) was intended by brother Moe Howard as a morale booster, but Curly never made another movie.
- In one scene, The Three Stooges are sitting in front of a lion. If looked at closely, it can be noticed that there is a glare behind them. There was a sheet of glass put up between them and the lion for the scene’s shooting. Even though the lion was old, docile, and tame, Shemp Howard panicked and refused to do the scene. As a result, the glass was put up to separate them from the lion.
