The boys get the point, and sneak into a swanky party and bug the house with insects, reptiles and mice.

GX2222 A. MOUSER MGR.
We are now in the office of the "Lightning Pest Control Company," where we see Mr. A Mouser's secretary walking up to him with the morning post as she is chewing on a gum stick and he is sitting there with a frantic look on his face as he is pulling his hair out by the roots in rage.
MR. A. MOUSER to his SECRETARY: (As he is sitting there thoroughly mad and has his hands on his head as he is shaking his head to and fro as he is asking her in a panic tone of voice): "Any cheques?"
SECRETARY to MR. A. MOUSER: (As she is looking at him with a worried look on her face and says to him in a worried tone of voice): "No cheques Mr. Mouser, all bills!"
MR. A. MOUSER to his SECRETARY: (As he is sitting there in a state of worry as he is shouting in a hurtful tone of voice): "Bills, bills, nothing but bills, this rat catching business has gone to the dogs. Where are those three loafers?"
SECRETARY to MR. A. MOUSER: (As she is looking at him with a puzzled look on her face as she is pointing a finger to a backroom door where Moe, Larry, and Curly are at as she says in a serious tone of voice): "They're in there talking politics."
MR. A. MOUSER to his SECRETARY: (As he is looking at her with a look of dismay on his face and answers her back in a questionable tone of voice): "Politics?"
SECRETARY to MR. A. MOUSER: (As she is looking at him with a serious look on her face and answers back to him in a serious tone of voice): "Yeah, I just heard one of them say let's have a 'New Deal'!"
We now see Mr. A. Mouser standing up from his desk as he is looking at his secretary with a look of madness on his face as she is looking back at him with a worried look on his face.
We are now inside of a backroom where we see Moe, Larry, and Curly sitting at a table. There is a bowl of snacks on the table. Larry is sitting there looking at Moe shuffling a stack of cards as he is smoking a cigarette. Curly is sitting there smoking a cigar also watching Moe. Moe is sitting there wiggling his nose and has a look of mischief on his face as he has now finished shuffling the cards and is cheating by putting an ace in the part of the cards that are going to be for himself.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe has now put the stack of cards into the middle of the table and is using a serious tone of voice says): "Cut the cards!"
Curly is now reaching underneath the table and is getting out a large meat cleaver as he is now standing up and chopping the cards into two different portions. Mr. A. Mouser is now entering into their office with an outrageously mad look on his face as he is now discovering that they are playing poker.
MOE to CURLY: (As Curly is standing there looking at Moe with a look of madness as Moe is sitting there picking up some of the cards says madly): "Boy, you don't trust me, eh?"
Moe is now getting ready to throw the cards that he is holding intending to hit Curly with them. Curly has now ducked and Mr. A. Mouser is getting hit in the face with the cards. Mr. A. Mouser is now flinching a bit as he is now straightening up his spectacles after they have been knocked off and he is now approaching Moe, Curly, and Larry thoroughly mad.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is looking at Curly in a really mad state and is shouting at Curly in a low and mad tone of voice): "Why, I outta beat you!"
MR. A. MOUSER to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (As he is now approaching them thoroughly outraged is shouting at them): "What, goes here?"
MOE to MR. A. MOUSER: (As Curly is looking at him with a look of mischief and is waving to him as Moe says in a happy tome of voice): "Oh, good morning, boss!"
MR. A. MOUSER to LARRY, CURLY, and MOE: (As he is shouting at them in a mad tone of voice and with a mad look on his face says): "Get your tings together and make it snappy!"
We now see Larry sitting there leaning back in his chair still with his cigarette and has a look of mischief on his face as Curly is looking at Moe with a look of dismay on his face.
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe has a look of happiness on his face and is rubbing his hands together in glee says): "Oh, boy, we're going on a job!"
CURLY to MOE and LARRY: (In a full blown state of mischief says): "What,? all ready,? we had a job two months ago!"
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is hitting Curly hard on his forehead and is shouting at him madly): "Brush the hair out of your eyes and get going!"
LARRY to CURLY: (As Larry is using a mad tone of voice and has a look of madness on his face says): "You heard what he said!"
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is pulling Larry up by his hair and says to him madly): "You too, 'Rain In The Puss'!"
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (In a mad tone of voice and a mad look on his face says): "Come on, get your things together!"
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is saying to Moe madly): "You get me tired."
We are now inside of Mr. A. Mouser's office where he is standing there smiling mischievously as he is now in process of lighting a cigar.
MR. A. MOUSER: (As he is now lighting his cigar and says in a mad tone of voice): "Loafers, low lives, I show 'em!"
Mr. A. Mouser has now tossed his really nice lighter on the floor in madness as he is now picking it up and is wiping it off and is putting in back into his suit jacket pocket.
Moe, Larry, and Curly are now entering into Mr. A. Mouser's office with their things in total happiness. Moe is now looking at a trap that Larry is holding in wonderment as Curly is also looking at the trap as Curly has slung over his shoulder a sack that is full of pussy-cats.
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe asks Larry in a questionable tone of voice about the trap): "What's that for?"
LARRY to MOE: (In a full state of mischief answers back): "You, never can tell, we might meet up with a bear!"
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is looking at Larry with a devilsh look and is using a mad tone of voice as he is slapping Larry hard on his face says): "Meet my bare hand!"
MOE to MR. A. MOUSER: (As Moe is asking him in pride): "All right boss, where do we go?"
MR. A. MOUSER to CURLY, MOE, and LARRY: (As he is pounding his fists in madness and is shouting at them in a fit of rage): "You, go places, you're fired, trew!"
MOE to MR. A. MOUSER: (As Moe is looking at him with a look of sadness on his face and says to him in an apologetic, but yet begging tone of voice says): "Ah, now listen boss, give us another chance will ya?"
CURLY to MR. A. MOUSER: (Also in a begging tone of voice): "Yeah, be a regular guy!"
MR. A. MOUSER to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (As he is standing there with his hands on his waist and still has a mad tone of voice as Moe is smiling at Mr. A. Mouser happily as he says): "All right, I give you one more chance, but you go out and drum up business or you don't come back!"
MOE to MR. A. MOUSER: (As Mr. A. Mouser is looking at Moe in a really mad state as Moe is looking at him in dismay and answers him back in a questionable and mischievous tone of voice): "What do you mean drum up business? If people ain't got ants, they ain't got ants, that's all!"
MR. A. MOUSER to MOE: (As Mr. A. Mouser is looking at him madly and says in a mad tone of voice): "So, and you give them ants, and mice and mots, all trew da houses, dumcoffs!"
MOE to MR. A. MOUSER: (As Moe is using hand gestures to support happiness as Moe is now pointing a finger at his head and is answering him back in a happy tone of voice with a smile on his face says): "Oh boss, you got a head like Napoleon!"
It is now a beautiful, sunny Spring day. We see Larry, Curly, and Moe walking down a sidewalk as they are looking for a house in invade. Moe has a large luggage case full of containers of various different bugs and rodents. Larry is carrying a fish net and a small box of various poisons. Curly is merrily walking with a sack of cats slung over his shoulder.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is winking and says to them in a mischieovous tone of voice as he is peeking around a hedge row to look to see if the coast is clear says): "Come on!"
We now see Moe, Larry, and Curly with their faces glued to a window of the residence of Mrs. Beulah Burlap where a swanky a party is now in the process.
We are now in the living room quarters of Mrs. Burlap's house where we see a large gathering of party guests dressed in riding habits as ther are mingling betwixt one another.
MRS. BURLAP to LORD STOKE POGIS: (As she is now walking up to him and is greeting him very politely as he is kissing her hand as she says): "Oh, my dear Lord Stoke Pogis, I'm glad you came down for the hunt."
LORD STOKE POGIS to MRS. BURLAP: (As he is looking at her with a smile of pride says): "Thanks awfully, you know the last time I rode the hounds, it was with his 'Grace The Duke Of Piccadilly'!"
MRS. BURLAP to LORD STOKE POGIS: (As she says to him in a very happy and polite tone of voice): "Oh!"
We are now back on Moe, Larry, and Curly as they still have their faces glued to the window and are peeking in to see what is going on as they are now backing away from the window.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As they are hunched together in a side yard of Mrs. Burlap's house as they all have looks of mischief on their faces as Moe says): "I think we struck oil, you take care of the lower floor, (as he says to Larry). You go and get a ladder, (states to Curly), and we'll handle the upstairs."
LARRY to MOE: (As Larry is happily acknowledging Moe and is leaving in a state of mischief): "Okay!"
We now see Larry with a canister of ants and mice as he is now going to work on the lower floor. Moe is now holding onto the sack of cats. Curly has now found a ladder that is propped up on a telephone pole. Curly is now taking the ladder as he is sending a telephone repairman crashing to the ground. Curly is now happily approaching Moe with the ladder as both Moe and Curly are propping it up onto a second floor window. Moe is now happily climbing up the ladder. Curly is now following behind Moe with their luggage case full of bugs and rodents.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is looking at Curly as the two of them are now on the ladder and the ladder is now creaking as Moe says to Curly in a carrying tone of voice as Moe has now given Curly a swift kick): "Easy, I said easy!"
Moe and Curly are now entering quietly and mischievously into Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters. Curly is looking around to see if anyone is coming. Moe is now opening their work case where there are canisters filled with 'moths', 'ants', 'bedbugs,' 'cockroaches', 'Camembert cheese,' two mice traps,' 'one sales pad and ink pen'. Moe is now taking out the canister filled with the moths and is now approaching Mrs. Burlap's closet and is setting them free in a state of happy mischief. Curly is now happily rubbing his hands together in mischievous glee.
We are now back downstairs where we see several guests mingling with one another as Larry is now quietly and mischievously opening a side window and is sprinkling a cake with some ants. He has also put a mouse on a curtain. Then he is happily helping himself to a crèmepuff.
We are now back upstairs in Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters where we see Curly happily and mischievously taking out a canister of ants and is moving back the bed covering on Mrs. Burlap's bed and is sprinkling the ants all over the bed.
MOE to SOME MICE: (As Moe is now releasing a canister of mice into the main hallway as he is waving his hat at them as he is down on his knees and is scattering them and is shouting at them in a whisper): "Scram, scram, scram, get out of here, ssshhh, ssshhh!"
As Moe and Curly were commiting their acts of mischief we heard out in the hallway Mrs. Burlap and Clara talking.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe now has a look of scaredness on his face as he is approaching Curly in a state of worry says): "Quick, somebody's coming!"
We now see Moe and Curly quickly putting back their canisters inside their luggage case. Moe is now shutting the case quickly as he is now shutting Curly's hand in the luggage case as Curly is shouting in pain, 'oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh'!
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is now in a state of panic and Curly still has his hand caught in the luggage case as Moe has now hit Curly on his forehead shouts to him): "Quiet, beat it kid, I'll hide."
CURLY to MOE: (As Moe is running away in a state of frantic panic as Curly is shouting loudly in pain): "Yeow, yeow, yeow, yeow!"
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is looking at Curly in madness and is pointing a finger over his shoulder and shouts to Curly mischievously): "Why don't you scram?"
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is on his knees and is looking at Moe with pain on his face and has pain in his voice says): "I can't, my hand's caught!"
Moe has now released Curly's hand. We now hear Mrs. Burlap and Clara coming closer to the bedroom quarters.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is now in a full state of panic and says to Curly as he is shoving their case under the bed): "Quick, under there!"
Moe and Curly have now in the nick of time made their get away under the bed just as Mrs. Burlap and Clara are now entering her bedroom quarters.
MRS. BURLAP to CLARA: (As Mrs. Burlap is now taking off one shoe and is putting on a slipper says): "Oh dear, my foot's killing me. But I must show you my beautiful new 'Broadtail Coat,' you'll love this!"
Mrs. Burlap and Clara are now entering Mrs. Burlap's closet. We are now under the bed where Curly is laying there in mischief as he is trying not to sneeze as he is being tickled by one of the moths. As Curly was in the process of sneezing saying, 'hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah'. Moe has now put his finger up to his nose to stiffle the sneeze.
Mrs. Burlap has now gone to get her coat as she has now discovered that her closet is moth infested and her coat is now full of moth holes and she is looking at it in a horrible state of madness.
MRS. BURLAP to CLARA: (As Mrs. Burlap is standing there with a really hurtful look on her face and is crying says): "Look, oh, my beautiful coat!"
We now see Mrs. Burlap's maid entering into Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters in a state of worry as she is looking at the poor, hurt Mrs. Burlap who is totally outraged about the moths snacking on her coat.
MRS. BURLAP to her MAID: (As we see Mrs. Burlap along with Clara approaching the maid in a state of panic as Mrs. Burlap says to the maid): "Look!!!!!!!!!!!!"
MAID to MRS. BURLAP: (As the maid has now looked at the snacked on coat and has a worried look on her face and says to Mrs. Burlap in a worried tone of voice): "Why, I didn't know we had moths!"
MRS. BURLAP to her MAID: (As she still has a look of panic on her face and shouts to the maid in a mad tone of voice): "Oh, have them cleaned out immediately!"
Mrs. Burlap is now sitting down on her bed as she is still upset about her coat as Clara is standing there looking at Mrs. Burlap with a really hurtful look on her face.
MRS. BURLAP to her MAID: (In a mad mood shouts): "I'm gonna put on my shoe."
Just as Mrs. Burlap is sitting down to put on her shoe we got a quick glimpse of Curly and Moe under her bed as Moe is looking at Curly with a really mischievous look on his face as he is putting a finger up to his mouth as a signal to be quiet to Curly as Moe is now quickly and mischievously putting a mouse in her shoe.
CLARA to MRS. BURLAP: (As Clara is sitting on the bed next to her as she is patting Beulah on her shoulder and is consoling here says): "Oh, Beulah, take it easy, there, there, Beulah, don't be so excited, calm yourself!"
MRS. BURLAP to CLARA: (As Mrs. Burlap is now waving her hand in a state of up-setness as she is using a really worried tone of voice says): "I don't know why I'm so distraught!"
Clara and Mrs. Burlap now have total looks of petrified panic on their faces as the maid is helping Mrs. Burlap with her shoe and she has now noticed the mouse.
MRS. BURLAP and CLARA: (As they are now totally freaking out about the mouse are screaming in unison): "Oh, a mouse, oh, Beulah, oh my goodness, a mouse, a mouse, a mouse!"
CLARA to MRS. BURLAP: (As she is leaning back on the bed and is screaming in total panic): "Oh, Beulah, oh, my goodness, oh, oh, oh, my goodness, oh, my heaven's get it, oh, Beulah, oh, Beulah, oh where is it!"
The maid is now chasing after the mouse but she has unsuccessfully caught it.
While Clara and Beulah were having their conniption fit about the mouse we saw a quick glimpse of Curly and Moe underneath her bed with a canister full of ants. Clara and Beulah are still having their conniption fit as we see Curly mischievously sneaking up behind Mrs. Burlap and Clara and he is happily and mischievously sprinkling some ants down the backs of their dresses.
MRS. BURLAP to CLARA: (As she is now sitting on her bed with a look of horrified panic on her face as she is shouting in panic): "Oh, oh, oh, there's, something's crawling on my back!"
CLARA to BEULAH: (As Clara is looking at Mrs. Burlap's back to what the problem is says back to Beulah in panic): "You, have ants!"
MRS. BURLAP to CLARA: (As she is now having a panic attack and has a look of panic on her face shouts back in panic): "Oh, so with you!"
We are now in the hallway of Mrs. Burlap's house where we see the noisy-body Eleanor now approaching Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters.
ELEANOR to BEULAH and CLARA: (As she is now coming up the stairs and is using a mischievous but yet slightly wicked tone of voice says): "Ah, yoo-hoo, girls, girls, girls!"
BEULAH to CLARA: (As Beulah is now looking at Clara in a state of panic and says to Clara in a panicking tone of voice): "That Chatterbox Eleanor, if she finds this out she'll tell everybody, ah, oooh!"
Eleanor is now entering into Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters in a total state of glee while poor Mrs. Burlap is standing there with a horrified look of fear on her face as Clara is now looking at Beulah in worriment.
Eleanor is now entering into Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters as she is waving her handkerchief and is in a really happy mood as poor Mrs. Burlap and Clara are standing there with looks of panic on their faces.
ELEANOR to BEULAH and CLARA: (As she is approaching them in a state of glee and says to them in a happy and mischievous tone of voice): "Oh, there you are, my dear's. I've been looking for you everywhere, you simply must come down and meet my Willie, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-!
BEULAH to ELEANOR: (As Beulah is pretending that nothing is going on and says to Eleamor in a staged happy tone of voice): "Oh, oh, oh, in just a moment dear, we'll be right down!"
ELEANOR to BEULAH and CLARA: (As Eleanor is now grabbing the poor petrified Beulah and Clara by their arms as Eleanor is now happily leading them out the bedroom quarters and says in a very joyful voice): "Oh, no, I want you to come down right now. You know I call him baldie!"
BEULAH and CLARA to ELEANOR: (As they are putting up a false front of happiness as Beulah and Clara are now twitching due to the fact that they still have those ants down their backs. Clara and Beulah are saying): "Oh, yeah!"
ELEANOR to BEULAH and CLARA: (As Clara and Beulah are now having their ant attack and are pretending to be happy as Eleanor says): "And yes, he calls me his Little Hazelnut!"
CLARA and BEULAH to ELEANOR: (As they are trying not to let on about the ants says): "Yes, it is."
ELEANOR to BEULAH and CLARA: (As Eleanor is still telling them about her Willie says in a gleeful voice): "You know, he's been married a couple of times all ready!"
We are now outside of Mrs. Burlap's bedroom quarters window where we now see the telephone repairman coming back after his ladder. Larry is now mischievously sneaking around the back of the house with his net as he is waiting for Moe and Curly.
Curly and Moe are now looking at each other with giant grins of happiness on their faces and they are now shaking each others hands in agreement about their mischief play as they are now shaking hands with one another.
CURLY to MOE: (In a total state of happiness says): "S-U-C-C-E-S-S!"
MOE to CURLY: (Also in a total state of happiness): "S-U-C-C-E-S-S!"
MOE and CURLY: (In unison to each other totally happy): "S-U-C-C-E-S-S!"
Curly and Moe are now backing up to the window that they came in and are smiling in glee at their accomplishments as they still think that the ladder is there as they are going for it and are falling out of the second story window flat on their backs. Larry is now being knocked down by the falling Moe and Curly as he was standing outside of the window waiting for them.
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is now standing up in madness and is slapping Larry on his face says to Larry in a mad tone of voice): "What's the idea taking the ladder away?"
LARRY to MOE: (As Larry is now yelling back at Moe in madness says): "Wait a minute, I didn't take no ladder!"
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is now in sort of a state of hurry says to Larry and Curly): "Come on, get your things together, quick!"
We now see Moe, Larry, and Curly quickly picking up their belongings as they are now approaching the front door of Mrs. Burlap's house acting like they know nothing is happening.
Moe is now removing his hat as he has now wrung their door bell. We now see their butler, Gawkins answering the door.
GAWKINS to MOE: (As the Butler is now answering the door in a very professional and dignified manner, as Curly and Larry are also standing there with looks of mischief on their faces as Gawkins says): "What is it?"
MOE to GAWKINS: (As Moe has now removed his hat and is asking Gawkins in a professional, but yet quick tone of voice): "Pardon me, got any mice, insects, ants or bugs you want exterminated?"
We now see Gawkins looking at Moe, Larry, and Curly with a look of relief on his face as Moe is standing there with the luggage case, Curly has his sack of cats slung over his shoulder and Larry is standing their with his fish net and small box of various poisons.
GAWKINS to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (As Gawkins is using a happy tone of voice and is clutching his hand together in glee says joyfully): "Heaven must sent you to us, we're over runned by them, come right in gentlemen!"
We now see Gawkins, Moe, Larry, and Curly entering into Mrs. Burlap's house.
GAWKINS to LARRY, CURLY, and MOE: (As we see Curly, Moe, and Larry standing in the entrance hallway as Gawkins is now leaving in a dignified manner says to them in a very dignified tone of voice): "Please wait here."
Moe, Curly, and Larry are politely waiting in the entrance hallway with looks of mischief on their faces. We now see a pretty lady dressed in a riding habit enter into the party along with her date as Moe has now quietly but mischievously put a mouse on the gentleman's shoulder. Curly and Larry are now in a very quiet manner as they have now mischievously nodded their heads at Moe in agreement about the mouse.
We now see Gawkins and Mrs. Burlap approaching Moe, Larry, and Curly as she is now putting on her spectacles to be able to see them better.
MRS. BURLAP to her BUTLER GAWKINS: (As she is now looking at Moe, Larry, and Curly as they are standing there in a professional manner as she is now saying in a voice of bewilderment): My word Gawkins, what are these?"
GAWKINS to MRS. BURLAP: (As he is standing there in a very dignified manner and answers back to her in a very dignified tone of voice): "These are the pest exterminators, madame!"
MRS. BURLAP to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (As she is looking at them with a mad look and says to them in a worried tone of voice): "Well, if you gentlemen will exterminate without letting my guests know, I shall reward you handsomely."
CURLY to MRS. BURLAP: (As Curly is looking at her with a huge mischievous grin on his face and says to her in a mischievous tone of voice): You can depend on us toots."
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is looking at Curly with a really evil look on his face and is saying to Curly in a really mad tone of voice): "What do you mean, getting familiar with the dame?"
MOE to MRS. BURLAP: (As Moe is now approaching her in an apologetic manner and says to her in a very apologetic tone of voice): "Don't pay ann attention to him babe!"
MRS. BURLAP to CURLY and MOE: (As she is now thoroughly insulted by the way that Curly and Moe have now treated her says): "Ah, ah, Gawkins dress them in riding habits like the other guests, so they can work in the living room un-observed. And gentlemen, don't forget, you must not disclose what you are doing."
MOE to MRS. BURLAP: (As Moe has a really evil but yet mischievous look on his face as he says back to her): "We got you lady."
All the while that Moe and Mrs. Burlap were having their conversation we saw Curly and Larry standing there smiling mischievously. Mrs. Burlap is now returning to her party guests.
GAWKINS to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (As he is using a very dignified tone of voice as Moe, Larry, and Curly are following him in a very polite manner as Gawkins says): "Come with me, gentlemen."
We now see Gawkins leading in Moe, Curly, and Larry in a dignified manner as Curly, Larry, and Moe are now dressed in their riding habits and are looking at the living room quarters in a state of awe.
MOE to CURLY and LARRY: (As Moe is using a happy tone of voice says to them mischievously): "Boy, what does this room remind you of?"
LARRY to MOE: (As Larry is smiling mischievously and answers Moe back in a mischievous tone of voice): "The reform school."
Curly is standing there looking around with a happy look on his face as Moe has now given Larry a hard kick on his leg as Larry is now limping away and rubbing his leg in pain.
GAWKINS to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (As Gawkins is looking at them with a serious look on his face and says in a serious tone of voice): "Gentlemen, gentlemen, get to work at once, and above all don't be conspicuous!"
As Gawkins was talking to them Moe, Larry, and Curly were looking at him with looks of puzzlement on their faces.
MOE to GAWKINS: (As Moe is looking at Gawkins with a mad look on his face and says back to him in a mad tone of voice): "Hey, if that 'con-spic-a-rus', means what I think it does, I'm meant to punch you right in the nose."
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is trying to be dignified and is acting like he is highly educated says to Moe): "Pipe down, it's the Right from Latin, 'Noka, Spikus, Angelus'."
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is looking at Curly with a really demented look on his face as he is asking Curly in a demented but yet slightly mischievous tone of voice): "What school did you go to?"
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly has a look of seriousness on his face and is answering Moe back in a high pitched mischievous voice): "O-X-F-O-R-D!"
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe is giving Curly a mean look and says back to him in a mean tone of voice as he is stomping Curly hard on his foot says): "Well, you better go back to, 'H-I-G-H S-H-O-E-S'."
Curly is now yelling, 'ooow, ooow, ooow, ooow, in a horrible state of pain. Moe is now dishing out their work orders.
MOE to LARRY: (As Moe is using a low and mean tone of voice says): "Now, you, you take the front part of the house." Moe is giving himself the upstairs, and 'You take the kitchen', (assigning that to Curly).
As Curly and Larry are leaving to complete their work details we now see the beautiful maid walking by as Moe is looking at her sweetly.
MOE to CURLY: (As Moe has now decided to switch work details with Curly now that he has seen the maid and says to Curly): "Hen, hem, no, you take the upstairs and I'll take the kitchen!"
MOE to the MAID: (As Moe is looking at her in a very happy manner and says to her in a very happy tone of voice): "Oh, toots, come here, you know little girl, I'm gonna like you."

Larry and Curly are standing next to the piano with worried looks on their faces as they now have noticed the mouse on her back.

Just as Larry was getting ready to hit the mouse on her back she has now turned around and is looking at Larry with a hurtful look on her face as Larry is now quickly hiding the hammer under his vest and is smiling back at her mischievously and the dignified gentleman has now left.

CURLY to FOX: (OOPS-SKUNK): (As Curly is now approaching him in a happy mood says to him); "Hum, hum, hum, hum, come her foxie, come here, come here, come here, hum!"
Curly has now grabbed his 'FOX' (OOPS-SKUNK) by his tail and is now putting him in a large burlap sack.
CURLY to MOE and LARRY: (As Curly has now let out another huge sneeze and is shouting to Moe and Larry in a very conjested tone of voice): "I got him, I got him."
CURLY to MOE and LARRY: (As Curly is now running proudly to Moe and Larry to show them his 'fox'): "I got a 'fox'.
LARRY to CURLY: (As Larry is looking a Curly in pride says ): "Where?"
We now see Moe and Larry falling back in panic as the are now discovering that Curly's 'FOX' is a 'SKUNK'.
LARRY to CURLY: (As both Larry and Moe are now passed out from the smell of the skunk and Moe has a blank look on his face as Larry has a hurt look on his face as Larry is saying): "aaaah, aaaah, aaaah, aaaah!"
SHORT ENDS:
The short ends out where we see the horse neighing in fear as he has now smelt the skunk and is now falling to the ground and is passing out from the ordor.

One of the boy's all-time best, if not the best. All three are at the top of their game here. Great plot, the interaction between them is smooth, and Larry gets a little bit more of the spotlight. The bedroom scene with the ants, and the buffet scene are classic Stooges.

If people don't have pest then you give them pest. Ants, mice and moths all through the houses. What a concept & what a brilliant short by the stooges. Almost equal in quality to its remake Pest Man Wins.
The first short directed by Jack White as Preston Black and he did a great job with this & several others during the 1936 season.
3 1/2 pokes

Actually this has turned out to be one of my more favorite shorts. The scene where the mouse lands on Curly's head is a riot. The mouse is catapulted off of a guy's foot via a knee reflex, and the mouse lands on Curly's head. Actually, the mouse seems to "hover" over Curly's head before it lands. When Larry tries to whack the mouse off of Curly's head, the mouse "jumps" away leaving Curly's bare head to take the brunt of the hammer's blow. The fact that the "mouse landing" and "mouse jump" looks so fake and unnatural makes it all the more hilarious! That scene alone is worth 4 pokes!
