"THE LOST STOOGES:" NARRATED BY: "MR. LEONARD MALTIN:"
INTRODUCTION:
This televison special starts off with this clip from: ("MEET THE BARON"): (Moe, Larry, Curly, and Ted): (October 20, 1933):
Moe, Larry, Curly and Ted are standing on the stage wearing tuxedos. Moe is giving Ted a mischievous look as he is getting ready to ignite the fuse on miniature canon.
MOE to TED: "Okay boss?"
TED to MOE: "Okay, fire on the count of three."
Ted is now holding his cane and is slightly ducking behind a curtain as he is counting with a scared look on his face. "1." CURLY: (With a scared look on his face as he is running off the stage). "2." LARRY: (Also has a scared look on his face and is running for cover as the canon is now going off he has said). "3."
MR. MALTIN: "THE THREE STOOGES EXPLODED ON THE MOVIE SCENE IN THE 1930'S. AND ENJOYED THE LONGEST CONTINUING RUN TO STAR IN COMEDIES IN HOLLYWOOD HISTORY."
(As Mr. Maltin was talking they showed a circus clip of people running away scared with an elephant wearing a blanket that read: "This Space For Rent." The circus crowd was frantically running away from the canon blast.
MR. MALTIN: "BUT BEFORE THE STOOGES SET OUT ON THEIR OWN. THEY SERVED AN APPRENTICESHIP AT THE MGM STUDIOS, THEIR BOSS TED HEALY."
(Here they showed a still photograph from: ("DANCING LADY"): (Moe, Larry, Curly, and Ted): (November 24, 1933): Where Ted is standing in the middle of the photograph with his hands raised forward and a blank look on his face while he has two really pretty ladies standing by him one on each side. One has her foot on Larry's head, as she is pushing him to the ground, Larry has a hurtful look on his face. The other lady has her foot on Curly's head and is pushing him to the ground and he has a hurt look on his face. Moe is standing by Ted grining from ear to ear.
MR. MALTIN: "AND EVEN SOME DIE HARD STOOGE FANS ARE UNFAMILIAR WITH THIS PHASE OF THEIR CAREER."
(Here they showed another clip from: ("DANCING LADY"): (Ted, Curly, Larry, and Moe): (November 24, 1933): They are in the backroom working on a dance rehearsal. Janie, (Joan Crawford), is practicing her dance routine while Larry is "tickling the ivories." Ted is in the background watching everything and Moe and Curly are behind Janie, (Joan Crawford), and Ted is talking to Curly, trying to interrupt her routine. Ted said to Curly: "Hey Curly, Curly, help the lady out will ya?" Curly has put on his hat and is dancing with Janie, (Joan Crawford). They were trying to give her a "brush off."
MR. MALTIN: "THEY CO-STARRED IN TOP FEATURE FILMS AND DID TINY WALK ON PARTS IN OTHERS."
(Here they showd a clip from: ("TURN BACK THE CLOCK"): (Moe, Larry, and Curly): (August 25, 1933): Moe, Larry, and Curly are singing at the wedding reception for Joe Gimlet, (Lee Tracy), and Mary Gimlet, (Mae Clark).
MR. MALTIN: "THEY REPRODUCED THEIR VAUDEVILLE ACTS AND INVENTED BRAND NEW MATERIAL."
(Here they showed a clip from: ("PLANE NUTS"): (Ted, Curly, Larry, and Moe): (October 14, 1933): They are doing one of their vaudeville acts. Larry is dressed in a regular tuxedo, Moe is dressed in a tuxedo that is on size to big, and Curly is dressed in a tuxedo with knee length pants. Ted is in a regular tuxedo with a cane.
LARRY: (In a happy state): "Whistles and says as he salutes, okay, America."
Ted and Curly are also saluting while Moe is tweeking Larry's nose and giving him an eyepoke.
MR. MALTIN: "THEY EVEN APPEARED IN EARLY TECHNICOLOR."
(Here they showed a clip from: ("NERTSERY RHYMES"): (Ted, Larry, Curly, and Moe): (July 06, 1933): Where Moe, Larry, and Curly are dressed in pink and white footed pajamas and their bedroom is decorated in pink and white. (The reason they used the colors pink and white was to co-ordinate with an old song and dance routine that they were done with). Moe gives Larry an eyepoke and he hits Curly over the head and says to them madly. ""What's the matter with you?").
(They also used a clip from: ("ROAST BEEF AND MOVIES"): (Curly Solo): (February 10, 1934): Curly is standing in front of a producer, (Si Jenks), and says to him. "I ate the cans, but I got the film." Curly then pulls back his suit jacket and shows the prodcuer, (Si Jenks), a wadded up film reel. (My opinion the colors they used were a sick shade of rust and grey).
MR. MALTIN: "WE BROUGHT ALL THIS MATERIAL OUT OF THE VAULT AND INTO THE OPEN."
(Here they showed another clip: ("PLANE NUTS"): (Curly, Larry, Ted, and Moe): (July 06, 1933): Ted is siting on a chair and Moe is giving Curly an eyepoke).
MR. MALTIN: "HERE'S THE STUFF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN WATCHING YOUR WHOLE LIVES ON T. V. IT'S TIME TO RE-DISCOVER "THE LOST STOOGES."
(Here they used another clip from: ("MEET THE BARON"): (Moe, Larry, Curly, and Ted): (October 20, 1933): Where Ted and The Stooges are playing rolls as janitors, and are standing outside of a girls shower room where they have been called up to repair the broken plumbing. They are told to blindfold their eyes and Curly is now giving Dean Primrose, (Edna May Oliver), a mischievous look with his eyes crossed. Larry and Moe are giving him looks of wonderment and Curly is saying to Dean Primrose, (Edna May Oliver), "You can't make us do that!")
MR. MALTIN: "WE'RE ALL SO USED TO MOE BEING THE BOSS OF THE THREE STOOGES. IT MAY COME A SURPRISE THAT IN THE TEAM'S ORIGINAL ACT SOMEONE ELSE WAS IN CHARGE."
(Here they used another clip from: ("MEET THE BARON"): (Ted, Curly, Larry, and Moe): (October 30, 1933):
TED to LARRY: (With a blank look on his face): "Now, who is the boss of this troupe?"
LARRY to TED: (Mischievously). "I'm the boss."
Moe then gives Larry an eyepoke.
LARRY to TED: (With a hurtful look on his face after Moe's eyepoke). "You're the boss."
Ted has now administered a hit on the head to Curly and Curly is jumping up and down madly and shouting in pain, 'Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.'"
MOE to TED: (In a mad state says): "This is Ted Heal, shwoo."
Ted starting laughing and then Moe joins in laughing and then Ted realizes what Moe had said and he hits Moe on the face and replies back madly,). "This is Ted Heal, shwoo."
MR. MALTIN: "AND A VERY SUCCESSFUL STAR AT THAT. IN VAUDEVILLE AND ON THE BROADWAY STAGE. HE RECRUITED MOE HOWARD TO BE ONE OF HIS STOOGES OR FOILS IN 1922. MOE'S BROTHER SHEMP, AND LARRY FINE JOINED THEM IN THE ACT."
(Here they used another clip from: ("PLANE NUTS"): (Curly, Larry, Moe, and Ted): (July 06, 1933):
TED to CURLY: (As he has hit Curly on the head in madness). "None of that."
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: "How old are you?" Larry and Moe are starting to answer, when Curly has chimed in and says 28. Curly said he was 19. Ted then reaches over and gives Curly a slap on his face in madness. Moe in madness at Curly's answer about his age, gives him an eyepoke.
CURLY to MOE: (In a mad state says): "I didn't have any idea."
Larry is standing there in a dazed state and laughing at Curly for his response about Moe. Larry has now put his hand to his eyes to void an eyepoke from Moe, but Moe hits him on the head instead.
MR. MALTIN: "BUT BY THE TIME THAT THEY GOT TO MGM IN 1933, SHEMP WAS GONE. REPLACED BY HIS KID BROTHER JERRY, NOW NICK NAMED CURLY."

(This clip starts off with Ted standing on the stage and is singing):
"Night time means sleep for the same. Noon time means luncheon."
As Ted was singing, Curly dress in knee length pants and an over-sized tuxedo jacket and just white stockings comes skipping merrily on the stage and he then taps Ted on the shoulder.
CURLY to TED: (In a happy state): "I have something I'd like to tell ya."
Ted then hits Curly on his forehead and then Curly goes skipping away happily off the stage.
TED: (In a mad state says in reference to Curly). "I'll straighten him out later."
Ted is trying to get back to his song when Moe, Larry, and Curly are marching onto the stage with smiles on their faces as they walk up to Ted.
TED: (In a state of madness says). "I knew it, I knew it, that they would show up."
Moe, Larry, and Curly all come marching out onto the stage with smiles on their faces as they walk up to Ted, and Curly says first: "Here we are", Moe then replies, "all together."
TED (as he pats Curly on the shoulder and is laughing slightly and says to them in a mischievous voice). "Ah, yeah, I know you are here, that's all right boys, now the pool rooms are empty."
TED to CURLY: (As The Stooges and Ted all have happy and mischievous looks on their faces as he goes to shake Curly's hand says to Curly). "How are ya boys?"
MOE, LARRY, and CURLY to TED: (Smiling mischievously). "Okay."
TED to CURLY, MOE, and LARRY: (As he has one hand on Curly's shoulder and his other hand on his waist says). "Tell me where you, where you, ah, where you boys from?"

TED to MOE: (As he slaps Curly on the face). "In a year and a half, you know, you know Washington's a great man and his partner the great Frenchman, Lafayette, Viva La France."
Moe, Larry, and Curly are now saluting and saying 'Viva La France.'"
As they are saluting Larry blows on a whistle in delight. Larry then clicks his heels together and says as he salutes "Okay, America."
MOE to LARRY: (Moe then gives Larry an eyepoke and says). "Ah, who's asking you!"
With Larry still "blinded" from the eyepoke and is looking around on the floor says. "Wait, now give me my eyes back!"

CURLY to TED: (In a bit louder and bit madder tone of voice says). "Now, I walk down the street and I give 'em the first swift gag."

MOE to TED: (In a total state of mischief). "All right boss, can you stand a mental test?"
TED to BONNIE, MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (As he has a mad look on his face and is crossing his arms in madness). "How do you like that, can I stand, can I stand, why certainly I can stand a mental test!"
BONNIE to TED: (As she points a finger at Ted and says in mischief). "Do what we tell ya!"
TED to BONNIE, CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (In a state of question). "Yeah?"
MOE to TED: (In a total mischief mood). "Put your right hand on your right ear."

We are now on the Head Janitor and his Three Helpers. They are sitting in their office and playing a game of Bridge and ignoring the telephone that is ringing frantically off of the wall.
Ted is now giving the telephone an ugly look as he reaches over and slaps Curly madly on the face.
TED to CURLY: (With a mad look on his face and madness in his voice). "What's the matter with you?"
Moe is now happily looking at his cards, as the telephone is still ringing frantically off of the wall.
MOE to TED, CURLY, and LARRY: (In a happy state). "Gin!"
Larry is now laughing very happily at Moe's success.
TED to MOE: (In a total state of madness and is shouting at him with a grimace on his face says). "Don't cut my ace, don't you know how to play Bridge?"
MOE to TED: (As he nods his head at Ted and says). "You gave me the nod!"
LARRY to MOE: (As he slaps Moe on the arm and states to him in a total state of madness). "Hey, we're playing for money, no signals!"
TED to LARRY, MOE, and CURLY: (Mad because the telephone is still ringing frantically off of the wall). "I can't concentrate, that phone, get your stuff. (Moe-"I got mine").
Moe, Larry, and Curly are now getting up and grabbing their mallets and pieces of steel and are banging on them loudly as Ted is answering the telephone to pretend that they are working so they can return to their Bridge game.
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As she jumps back from the telephone in a scared state). "Can't you hear we're busy, call back later, yeah, call back later."
As Ted was completing his telephone conversation with Dean Primrose, The Stooges were happily smiling and dancing in fun as they were beating their mallets on the steel pieces.
Ted has now hung up the telephone, and looks over at Curly and smacks him madly on his head.
Curly the goes to hit Ted in the head with his mallet. Ted playfully hits Curly in the head with a rubber mallet and smiles at him.
TED to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (Smiling at them happily and says to them). "Get back to the game, get back to the game!"
LARRY, CURLY, and MOE, to TED: (As they are walking back to their Bridge game). "It's all right, that's where we were going!"
As Ted and Larry, Curly, and Moe are now going back to their Bridge game, the telephone once again starts to ring frantically off of the wall.
Ted is now answering the telephone and shouts into it madly. "Wrong, number."
TED to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (Just after he has shouted at Dean Primrose, and thinks he has hung up the telephone receiver but didn't and Dean Primrose is hearing everything they are saying. "I guess I told her."
Ted and Larry, Curly, and Moe are now back at their Bridge game.

Larry, Curly, and Moe are now standing up to show Ted their trick.
LARRY to TED: (In a state of mischief says). "We got a trick where I get up on Curly's shoulder and while I am up there, he drinks a cup of coffee."
Curly is now standing up happily as Larry is climbing up on his shoulders and Ted is giving the two of them a idiotic look.
TED to CURLY: (With Larry on Curly's shoulders and Curly is smiling). "Do you drink a cup of coffee?"
CURLY to TED: (With a perplexed look on his face and question in voice). "Yeah?"
TED to CURLY: (As he is giving a mad look and has madness in his voice says). "Do you like sugar in your coffee?"
CURLY to TED: (Still with Larry on his shoulders and smiling at Ted says). "Sure!"
TED to CURLY: (In a state of madness as he hits Curly on the head with his fist, Curly is blocking his face with his hands says). "Here's a lump."

TED to LARRY: (Shouting back at Larry madly). "You're what?"
LARRY to TED: (Thoroughly mad states). "I'm gonna deal the cards."
TED to LARRY: (In a state of madness as he hits Larry on the face as he is pointing at himself and says). "I'm the boss, I'll deal. I'll hit you and give you a crack in the kisser. I'll do all the dealin'."
Ted is now dealing the cards individually for a round and says. "Here's a four for you." (He then gives it Curly). "Here's an ace." (That's for me). "Here's and eight." (He gives that to Moe). "And here's a duce." (He then gives it Larry). "That takes too long, here's some for you, (and gives the first stack to Curly). Here's some for you. (He then gives the second stack to Moe). And here's some for you. (He then gives the third stack to Larry)." Ted then gives the remaining cards to himself.
MOE to TED: (As Moe points a finger at Ted). "What do you bid?"
TED to MOE: (As he is looking at the ceiling, and not looking at his cards, grabs a bid out of the thin air and says to Moe). "I bid four spades."
CURLY to TED: (In a happy state says). "I double."
LARRY to TED, and CURLY: (With a mischievous voice and mischief on his face says). "I re-double!"
MOE to TED: (As Moe is pounding his fist on the table in madness shouts to Ted). "I triple."
TED to MOE: (With a mad look on his face and is shouting madly at Moe). "How do you do that, triple, you can't triple."
MOE to TED: Moe is now standing up in total state of madness as he is looking over at Ted). "Why can't I?"
CURLY to MOE: (As Curly is standing up and giving Moe a look of wonder on his face and is pointing a finger at Moe says). "But the man says you can't triple!"
Moe and Curly are both standing up as Moe is now giving Curly an eyepoke.
CURLY to TED: (As Curly is now sitting down and rubbing his eyes says). "How do you like that guy?"
TED to CURLY: (Ted has now given Curly a smack on the face and says to Curly in a state of madness as he standing up and pointing a finger to Moe and then back to himself says). "That argument is between he and me, between he and me."
Curly is sitting down with a hurt look on his face and Moe is still standing.
MOE to TED: (With a look of mischief on his face as Moe is pounding his fist on the table says). "Yeah, and now I can triple."
TED to MOE: (In a total state of question says). "Triple, you wanna triple, you must triple?"
Every time Ted said the word 'triple', Moe said 'yeah!"
TED to LARRY: (Ted is now approaching Larry in a mischievous state says). "Hey, mouse head, come here!"

TED to MOE: (In a total state of mischief). "Come here!"
Moe is now approaching Ted as he is being tripped by Larry.
TED to MOE: (Laughing mischievously). "Now, you've tripled."
MOE to TED: (In a thorough state of madness as he is getting up). "Ah, that ain't the Culbertson system."
We are now back on Dean Primrose, still on the telephone, hearing Ted and Moe, Larry, and Curly having their arguments about their Bridge game because Ted had forgotten to hang up the telephone receiver.

Dean Primrose closing her eyes quickly then opens them and is now giving Moe, Larry, and Curly a whatever look.
DEAN PRIMROSE to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (As she is pointing a finger at them and has madness in her voice says). "Now, remember, one slip of those blindfolds and you will feel my wrath!"
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (With a look of reassurance on his face and in his voice says). "Don't, try to bribe the boys."
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED, CURLY, LARRY,and MOE: (As Ted is now putting on his blindfold as Dean Primrose is opening the door to the girls shower room says). "Come along!"
Dean Primrose has just now opened the door to the girls shower room and is entering in with Ted, Larry, Curly, and Moe, as the girls are in their bathrobes sprucing themselves up and they are now shouting and running in every direction in scaredness saying, 'Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh!"
DEAN PRIMROSE to THE GIRLS: (In a total state of care is shouting at them and clapping her hands). "Girls, girls, there's nothing to be alarmed about, they're blindfolded."
The blindfolded janitors have now entered the girls' shower room.
TED to the GIRLS: (With a look of care on his face and is wearing his blindfold says). "No, we can't see a thing!"
Ted, Larry, Moe, and Curly supposedly not being able to see anything with their blindfolds on, they can see a liitle bit.
LARRY to TED, MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (All still with their blindfolds on, Larry shouts). "It's a dime!"
All of the "blindfolded" janitors go diving after the dime. As they are diving for the dime, Moe shouts to Larry loudly, "it's my dime".
LARRY to MOE: (In a state of madness as he is pounding on Curly's head). "Wait a minute, wait a second, I got it!"
We are now with Dean Primrose and the girls. One of the girls are sitting on a stool with her night gown on and a towel wrapped around her shoulders, while Dean Primrose is standing next to her and the other girls standing aroud her worried.
DEAN PRIMROSE to SITTING GIRL: (With a look of worry on her face and worry in her voice says). "Don't catch cold!"
Dean Primrose is now approaching the blindfolded janitors with the girls all around them looking at them in wonderment.
DEAN PRIMROSE to the BLINDFOLDED JANITORS: (In a state of madness, as she is pointing to the broken pipes. The janitors think she means the girls). "There they are, now let me see your little hands get busy."
The normal blindfolded Ted, Larry, Curly, and Moe now drop their tools and go running over to the beautiful ladies and they are getting up screaming and running away in a total scared state.
Ted, Moe, Larry, and Curly are now running after the beautiful girls while Curly has his hands on one and is getting his hands slapped by Dean Primrose.
DEAN PRIMROSE to CURLY: (As she has slapped Curly's hand in madness). "The pipes are there!"
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (In a state of mischief says to her). "Oh, it's the pipes that need handlin'."
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (In a state of madness as he snaps his fingers and walks away towards the pipes). "Shucks."
Dean Primrose is now looking around the shower room and is noticing Ted, Larry, and Moe flirting with the girls.
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED, LARRY, and MOE: (As she is clapping her hands in disgust says). "Boys, boys." (She then gestures with her fingers to where the pipes are and is making them come tothem as the girls are shouting in scaredness).
As blindfolded Larry is running after one of the girls, Dean Primrose grabs him by the hair to stop him, and this also stops Moe, Curly, and Ted.
DEAN PRIMROSE to THE BLINDFOLDED JANITORS: (As she is pointing at the pipes and is centering the janitors around them). "The pipes!"
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (In a total state of mischief asks her). "How do you want them fixed, rare, medium, or well done?"
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED: (As she is giving Ted a look of dismay). "Any way you like, but hurry."
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (As they are getting down on their knees still blindfolded Ted state). "All right fellas, concentrate."
Ted, Moe, Curly, and Larry are now kneeling down at the make-up table that is covering the pipes and are using it as a Ouija Board.
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (Ted, Moe, Larry, and Curly are now concetrating as Ted is chanting). "I'm gonna take you in the land of beyond, you are gonna see a beautiful woman, a gorgeous looking creature."
Dean Primrose is now looking at them in a full state of lunacy.
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As he is completing his chat says to her). "I'm not talking to you toots."
Ted is now returning back to his chant, "and this beautiful little girl is gonna......"
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED: (In a state of dumbfoundedness). "What's the meaning of this?"
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Laughing mischievosly). "Well, I'm giving it to you medium, ha-ha-ha-ha!"
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED, CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (Thoroughly mad and is shouting at them). "Will you stop this nonsense and get to work you sluggard, you." (She has now applied a face slap to Curly).
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Just after she smacked him). "No, he's the sluggard!"
Ted is now hitting Curly in the forehead with his fist in madness.
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (In a thorough state of madness). "See!"
DEAN PRIMROSE to THE BLINDFOLDED JANITORS: (In a total state of madness as she is pointing at the pipes says). "Will you get to those pipes!"
BLINDFOLDED JANITORS to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As they are folding back the table top over the pipes said in unison). "Will we!"
Ted and The Stooges have just now removed the cover off the pipes and are frantically attacking them still blindfolded with pick axes.
TED to LARRY, CURLY, and MOE: (In a total state of dismay and is shouting at them). "Wait a minute fellas, now wait a second, wait a minute now, wait a second, listen now, listen up, hurry up take your time. Fall out there, fall out there, come on, come on, lets go to work."
All the while that Ted was hollaring at The Stooges, they were frantically ripping at the pipes blindfolded while Dean Primrose is standing there in a total state of panic and is rubbing her forehead in worry. Four of the girls are also sitting there watching the janitors in total state of worriedness as they are working on the pipes.
As Ted, Moe, Curly, and Larry are sitting down and pounding on the pipes with their hammers, piano music is now starting to play in the background and they are looking up in glee.
The piano is now playing while Ted, Larry, and Moe are pounding the pipes with their hammers in rhythm to the song "I've Been Working On The Railroad," as Curly is sitting on the floor playing the triangle at first, and then moving two giant mallets like boat oars, and the girls are in the background waving their heads to and fro and are whistling to the tempo of the song.
Dean Primrose is beyond mad at Ted, Larry, Curly, and Moe with their antics as she is now clapping her hands in disgust.
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED, CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (Madly and clapping her hands). "Boys, boys, stop that racket or else I will expel you."
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Still blindfolded and says to her in a mad voice). "You'll expel us?"
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (In a state of wonderment). "How do you like that?"
MOE to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Still blindfolded and mad as he is shaking his hand with a hammer in it says). "We'd quit first!"
LARRY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Who also is blindfolded says in reference to Moe's statement). "Yeah!"
TED to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (In a mischievous state asks them). "Are we men or rats?"
MOE, LARRY, and CURLY, to TED: (Respond to him in unison). "Rats!"
Dean Primrose is now putting her hands on her head thoroughly disgusted at Ted, Larry, Curly, and Moe.
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As he is sensing that she is beyond mad at him and Curly, Larry, and Moe says). "We'll get this fixed!"
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (Ted and The Stooges are now standing up still blindfolded, as Ted is putting a chisel on one of the pipes and says to Curly). "Here, Curly, hold this!"
Curly is now holding the chisel as Ted is going to hit it, but misses and hits Curly on the head and sounds off a bell like at the fair when you have won a prize.
MOE to TED: (As the bell goes off and Moe hands Ted a cigar says). "Here you are sir!"
TED to MOE: (As he takes the cigar from Moe and sniffs it as he puts it in his pocket and says to Moe). "Pretty, good!"
Ted then proceeds to hit the chisel once again, but instead hits Curly on the head sounding off another prize bell, with several rings.
LARRY to TED: (As the jackpot bell goes off and Larry is handing Ted a large doll says). "Another winner!"
TED to MOE: (Still blindfolded as he is handing Moe his doll says). "Sign that for me!"
Ted is now in the process of going to hit the chisel for the third time but he is stopped by Dean Primrose.
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED: (As she is running up to Ted and shouting at him madly). "Stop, you fool, are you trying to kill this man?"
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As he is standing up and stomping his feet in madness and shouts to her). "Why don't you mind your own business."
TED to CURLY: (Looking at him through his blindfold says to him madly). "Shut up, I'll do the talking, I'm the boss, ain't I?"
DEAN PRIMROSE to TED: (In a state of carrying towards Curly says to him). "Well, you're not getting any place, you better try a little chiseling."
CURLY to DEAN PRIMROSE: (Pointing a finger at her still blindfolded says to her mischievously). "Oh, he's great at chiseling!"
TED to CURLY: (In a total state of madness says). "You know what's coming to you, don't you?"
CURLY to TED: (In a total state of mischief and in a low monotone voice says). "Certainly!"
Curly then his himself on the forehead and then puts up his arm to block off Ted.
TED to CURLY: (Turning away and snaps his fingers and says). "Okay!"
Ted is now approaching Moe and Larry who are holding Ted's bag of tools like a bag of golf clubs.
TED to MOE, and LARRY: (In a state of mischief as he is handing Larry his mallet and says). "Give me my mashie!"
LARRY to MOE: (Looks at Moe blankly). "Number five!"
MOE to TED: (Moe is now taking out a pick axe and is handing it to Ted as says to him in a low monotone voice). "There you are". Larry then replies, "That's it!"
Ted is now approaching the pipes while Curly is standing there blindfolded and Dean Primrose is looking at him in a total state of awe.
Ted is now approaching the pipes blindfolded and with his "mashie" in his hand.
TED to DEAN PRIMROSE: (As he is getting ready to swing his "mashie" says). "Hey, Deanie, get a load of this shot!"
As Ted is getting ready to hit the pipes with the "mashie", Dean Primrose is standing there looking at Ted in a total state of dismay as Curly is shouting still blindfolded). "Fore!"

"Now pay attention my little man, and I'll tell you the story of the lady and the fan. She was a princess in a foreign land, oh, a prince came along, to win her hand. She spoke a language he didn't understand. But she had a way of showing him that he was grand. And she did this with her little fan. Whe she moved her fan in a certain way, oh and then she would admit that she would like to have him stay. Why, when she held her hand just so, admit that she wanted him to go."
END OF THE GOOD FAIRY'S NUMBER ONE SONG:
All the while that the Good Fairy was singing, pa-pa was shouting to her in happiness, 'sing it,' while the brothers were standing on the bed with pa-pa they were fighting over the good fairy. Moe was giving Larry slaps on his face along with eyepokes, plus Moe was doing the same to Curly. Larry is hitting Moe on the head. Pa-pa has reached over and smacked Curly. The brothers are now involved in a free-for-all fight. Exchanging head smacks and eyepokes with one another. Pa-pa reaches over every so often and smacks Curly on his forehead. Plus the Good Fairly was doing a fast paced soft shoe dance, pacing back and forth in their bedroom.
PA-PA IS SINGING IN REFERENCE TO THE GOOD FAIRY' SONG:
"She absolutely, positively, don't mean nothing else but the story of the lady and the fan."
NOW THE SONS ALONG WITH PA-PA AND THE GOOD FAIRY ARE SINGING TOGETHER:
"Oh, she absolutely, positively don't mean nothing else but the story of the lady and the fan."
They are now raising their arms in a finish to their song.
As they all are done singing, the brothers bed has now broken sending pa-pa and them crashing to the floor and the Good Fairy is now staggering to regain her balance.
The brothers are now in their bed and are fast asleep. While pa-pa is happily kissing the Good Fairy. Pa-pa is now holding on to the Good Fairy's hand as they are leaving the boys' bedroom in a happy manner.
SON CURLY to PA-PA: (In a worried state has now woken up again and says). "Pa-pa, will you tell me another bedtime story?"
GOOD FAIRY to PA-PA: (As she is giving pa-pa a look of happiness says to him). "i'll put the little darling to sleep with a song."
PA-PA to the GOOD FAIRY: (Stating, totaly mad at son Curly says to her). "I'll put them to sleep with this." (Pa-pa then reaches over and bonks son Curly on the forehead with his fist).
As son Curly is falling backwards, from pa-pa's hit, he has now woken up Larry and Moe.
CURLY to his BROTHERS MOE and LARRY: (In a state of madness). "Hey, wait a minute, what's going on, I didn't mean it, I am sorry!"

PA-PA to his SONS: (As he walks past them states). "Quiet children, please. Quiet now wait a minute. These are lovely children." he says to the good fairy).
PA-PA to his SONS: (In a mad state). "I had four boys, ha-ha, but I had to drown one. I threw him in the lake, tied to a big anchor. But this happens to be the smartest of the three." (Pa-pa is now patting his son Larry on the back in pride and Larry is smiling proudly).
SON LARRY to PA-PA: (As he hits Larry on the shoulder says). "This is Junior. Smile, Junior."

All the while that Pa-pa is bragging up his son Larry, sons Moe and Curly are standing in the background with worried looks on their faces.
THE GOOD FAIRY to PA-PA: (The Good Fairy is now approaching Larry as she puts a hand on Larry's shoulder and looks at him in wonder asks pa-pa). "You don't mind, if I interrogate him, do you?"
Larry is now standing there with a worried look on his face to the Good Fairy.
PA-PA to the GOOD FAIRY: (In a worried state says). "No, he's kinda young, but it's all right!"
GOOD FAIRY to son LARRY: (Larry is now looking at her adorningly and she says to Larry in a carrying manner and in a questionable voice says). "I'm gonna ask you a question, my little man. If I gave you a dollar and your father gave you a dollar how many dollars would you have?"
SON LARRY to the GOOD FAIRY: (In a mischievous state says). "One dollar!"
PA-PA and BROTHERS MOE and CURLY and the GOOD FAIRY: (Say to him in unison). "No, not right!"
PA-PA to his SON LARRY: (With a hand on his shoulder and worry and care in his voice says). "Think now, think now, son!"
All the while that Larry is getting interrogated by the Good Fairy, Curly and Moe are standing in the background with worried looks on their faces.
GOOD FAIRY to SON LARRY: (In a supportive state slowly asks him once again). "If I gave you a dollar, and your father gave you a dollar how many dollars would you have?"
SON LARRY to the GOOD FAIRY: (Gesturing with his hand and shouting). "One dollar!"
GOOD FAIRY to SON LARRY: (In a state of worry says). "I can see you don't know your arithmetic."
SON LARRY to the GOOD FAIRY: (As he has a devilish look on his face and mischief in his eyes as he is turning around and looking at pa-pa says). "I can see you don't know my father."
Pa-pa is now grabbing his son Larry by the arm in a total state of anger.

BROTHER MOE to his BROTHERS CURLY, and LARRY: (In a state of anger as he slaps Curly on the face says). "What's the matter with you guys?"
Curly has turned around to the pa-pa about Moe picking on Larry, but before he could say anything pa-pa has once again smacked poor Curly on his forehead once again and Curly is loosing his balance. Moe has now helped Curly up as Larry is rubbing his sore face.
PA-PA to his SONS: (As he is now thoroughly disgusted with them says). "Wait a second, get up here, get up here!"
Moe now cuts in on the fight raising his finger to gesture everyone down.
SON MOE to PA-PA and his BROTHERS LARRY, CURLY, and the GOOD FAIRY: (Moe now has a very feminine look on his face as he is supporting a lady type of voice says). "A little poem!"

MOE to TED: (As he is handing Ted his script booklet says). "Now, we have a part here for you, if you'll help us out."
TED to MOE: (In a mischievous state as he is taking his script booklet from Moe and says). "I'm, I'm an old time actor, I'll help you out."
TED to MOE: (Ted is now opening his script booklet and is looking at it says). "These are my lines!"
MOE to TED: (Mischievously as Moe is gesturing with his hands as he is explaining to Ted about his lines). "Now, when the music plays, the gates of Hell are opened, that's where you walk in."
TED to MOE: (In a really worried manner says to him). "Ah, stop, stop now with the jokes."
Moe is now giving Curly and Larry their script booklets.
Ted says in general conversation. "Go ahead."
MOE to CURLY: (As he is pleading with him about a part says). "Hey, take this part."
CURLY to MOE: (As he is looking at Moe in a state of wonder says). "Not me!"
MOE to CURLY: (As he is still begging Curly to take a certain part asks him). "Come on, take it."
CURLY to MOE: (As he is giving Moe a mad look and has madness in his eyes shouts back sternly to Moe). "Not, me!"
MOE to CURLY: (As he slaps Curly square in the face and says to him angrily). "Oh, mutiny!"
Curly is now looking at Moe blankly.
All the while that Moe and Curly were having their fight over a role, Larry was standing there with his hands on his hips and a blank stare.
TED to MOE, CURLY, and LARRY: (Angrily). "Here now, here now, stop that!"
MOE to LARRY: (As he is approaching Larry and shoving the script booklet at him says). "Here, take this part!"
LARRY to MOE: (Giving Moe a mad look and is shouting at Moe angrily says). "I'll take it when I'm ready!"
MOE to LARRY: (As he is starring him down shouts at him angrily). "Are you ready?"
LARRY to MOE: (As he is reluctantly taking the script booklet from Moe and says in a low dragged out voice). "Yeah, I'm ready!"
Curly is now smiling gleefully at everyone.
MOE to TED: (As he is gesturing with his hands and has anger in his voice as he is explaining to Ted). "I'll give you a resumé in the next scene."
TED to MOE: (In a questioning voice says). "You'll give me a what?"
MOE to TED: (Explains once again to Ted) . "I'll give you a resumé in the next scene,"
TED to MOE: (Holding open his script booklet and is quizzically looking at Moe says). "Get this guy with the big words, resumé, you're getting Park Avenue, you're getting with the high class, with the rich people, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
LARRY to MOE: (Shouting to Moe in a mad state). "Is he getting high class?"
TED to LARRY: (As he is reading his script booklet and answers Larry). "Yes!"
LARRY to CURLY: (As he has his hands by his sides and is shouting mischievously and nodding his head). "Hey, Curly, throw a louse on him."
Curly gestures taking something from his suit jacket pocket and throwing it at Moe. And then is walking over and picking it out of Moe's hair and smacking Moe on the forehead.
MOE to CURLY: (In a total state of anger). "Hey come on now, cut it out, cut it out!"
TED to LARRY, MOE, and CURLY: (In a state of dismay). "Hey, hey, hey, wait a second, wait a second, wait a minute now, don't do that, stop that, stop that!"
Ted has just now approached Curly and has smacked him on his forehead angrily.
MOE to CURLY, LARRY, and TED: (In a thorough state of anger). "Spread out!"
TED to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (In a total state of anger). "Spread out, now let's get set, let's get going here now!"
Larry and Curly are now back to their positions on the stage.
MOE to TED: (Using hand gestures to explain this part of the routine while he has a look of dismay on his face). "Now, in this next scene, I play the part of a Count. I drive up to my castle on horseback. Up into my castle and in my bedroom and there's two ladies in my bed."
All the while Moe was telling his story, Ted says "Yeah, yeah, yeah," in agreement to Moe's story while Larry and Curly are smiling with gleeful looks on their faces.
MOE to TED: (In a total state of mischief asks). "What do you think happens?"
TED to MOE: (In a total state of dismay responds). "I don't know, what happens?"
MOE to TED: (In a total state of mischief says). "I said, one of you broads have to get out of here."
TED to MOE: (In a state of anger he has just slapped Curly on the face says). "All right, you handle it, you handle it, you handle it!"
Larry and Curly are mumbling in unison and anger. "Yeah, yeah, you handle it, okay."
MOE to CURLY, LARRY, and TED: (As Moe is looking angrily at Larry and giving Larry a mad look shouts). "Spread out!"
CURLY and LARRY to MOE: (As Curly and Larry are now leaving Moe's sides with mad looks on their faces and anger in their voices mumbling in unison in low monotone voices). "All right spread out!"
TED to CURLY, LARRY, and MOE: (Mad). "All right fellas, all right!"
MOE: (Now getting into his portion of the routine). "Gladys, Gladys!"
CURLY: (Responding to Moe). "Gladys?"
LARRY to MOE: (Looking at his script booklet with a worried look on his face says to Moe). "I got the wrong script, you ain't, you ain't......"
TED: (In a state of dismay says). "I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing, I ain't got nothing at all here, Gladys."
MOE: (In a serious tone of voice and using a British accent). "What not here, she has deceived me, she promised to meet me at the old bridge at ten o'clock. It's now half past eight and she's not here yet."
All the while Moe was doing his lines, Larry was standing there with a dumbfounded look on his face and looking at Moe with his hands on his waist. Ted was looking at his script booklet. Curly was standing in the background just watching everybody.
CURLY to TED: (As he does a little dance and says to Ted joyfully). "I think she'll be coming around the mountain, when she comes!"
TED to CURLY: (As he is looking at his script booklet and slaps Curly on the face says meanly). "You don't yell at me, never holler at me kid, don't holler, go ahead." referencing to Moe.
MOE: "How the winds blow."
Larry has now approached Moe and has a mischievous look on his face and is spreading his arms and says. "Woo-woo!"
MOE to LARRY: (Moe has now slapped Larry and shouts to him). "What's the matter here, what's happened here, what's going on?"
TED to LARRY, CURLY, and MOE: (Shouting angrily) "Wait a minute fellas, wait a second will ya, let's get organized, what happens now, what happens!"
All the while Ted was hollering at Moe, Curly, and Larry they were standing with hurtful and worried looks on their faces.
MOE to TED: (Giving Ted a look of wonderment and gesturing with his hands states). "Well, that's where you come in!"
Curly is standing in the background holding his hands and has a look of puzzlement on his face.
TED to MOE: (Holding his script booklet and is looking at Moe in dismay says). "What, this is my part?"
MOE to TED: (In a questioning manner says to Ted). "Yeah!"
TED to MOE: (Happily as he is flipping the page in his script booklet states). "Well, I got it here."
TED to CURLY: (As Ted is reading his lines and Curly is standing there giving Ted a look of wonderment). "Pay me the $50,000, and I'll foreclose the mortgage, you rat, yad-a-yad-a-yad do, hello governor." (Ted then gives Curly a slap on the face).
TED to CURLY: (In reference to slapping him on the face. Points to the script and says). "Here it is kid, read it, I ain't got nothing to do with it, I wouldn't hit you unless I was told to do so."
MOE to TED: (In a British accent angrily says). "I will not give you the money!"
TED to CURLY: (With a serious look on his face and is saying to Curly). "Pay me the $50,000 and I'll foreclose the mortgage you rat, yad-a, yad-a, yed-do, yed-do allcada, hello governor." (Ted once again reaches over and gives Curly a slap on his face and once again states). "Here it is kid, read it, I ain't got nothing to do with it, I wouldn't hit you unless I was told to do so!"
MOE to TED: (Seriously and in a British accent). "May I repeat, veribly, I will not give you the money!"
TED to CURLY: (Waving his finger at Curly and is shouting in a low monotone voice). "Pay me the $50,000, and I'll foreclose the mortgage, you rat, yad-da, de-da, yad-da, yee-yee, vitta-dee-dee, hello governor." (Ted for the third time gives Curly another slap on his face).
CURLY to MOE: (Angrily and waving his arms, jumping up and down and shouting at Moe). "Pay him the $50,000!"
Moe then reaches over and gives Curly a bonk on his forehead.
MOE to CURLY: (In a state of anger and is shouting at him). "What's the matter, what's the matter!?"
Ted then his the poorly bruised Curly on the forehead. Larry is standing there watching the whole thing with a look of wonderment on his face.
TED to MOE, LARRY, and CURLY: (As Ted is shouting at them). "What's the matter here, stop the yelling, stop the yelling here!"
Curly now has his hands on his waist and tosses his head back and says quietly. 'Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh'!
Moe is now mad at the whole event and once again shouts out angrily. "Spread out!"
TED to CURLY, MOE, and LARRY: (Gesturing with his hands and says quietly). "Spread out boys"
TED to MOE: (As Moe is stepping back a bit not seeing Curly). "Watch out for him!"
Curly, Larry, and Moe are now getting into their spots and Larry and Curly are watching Moe with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
MOE: (Once again in a serious voice and a British accent). "With Gladys as my wife and those papers in my possession, I can laugh at the world!"
Ted gave a comment here of, 'yes that is what he said.'
Curly is now marching up to Ted gleefully and is saying. "n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk, n'yuk!"
TED to CURLY: (In a mischievous state says). "Hey, If you want to lay an egg go over there and lay it!"
CURLY to TED: (With a look of dismay on his face and shouts). "Wait a minute now, how can a big guy like me lay an egg?"
LARRY to CURLY: (Doing hand gestures like a hen sitting on her nest says). "There's a big basket over there, you can sit down......"
Ted is now mumbling in the background, 'Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey.'!
Moe is now giving Larry an angry look about his comment.
LARRY to MOE: (Giving Moe a perplexed look and says to Moe in a quiet voice). "Spread out!"
Larry is now following the script booklet as Moe once again continues with his story.
MOE: (In a serious voice and his British accent). "Ah, someone is coming!"
Curly and Ted are diligently watching Moe and are saying quietly. "Yeah!"
Larry is now swaggering towards the front of the stage with a mischievous look on his face.
LARRY: (In a totally mischievous manner says). "1-2-3-4-5-6-7," (Then Larry loudly stomps his foot on the stage).
MOE: (Once again in a serious mood and using his British accent). "How will I know her knock?"
Larry is now again swaggering to the front of the stage mischievously continuing, "8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16," (Then Larry once again mischievously stomps his foot loudly on the stage).
All the while Larry was doing his countings Curly, Moe, and Ted were watching Larry with looks of anger on their faces. Larry then quietly returns back to his position at the back of the stage.
MOE: (Again in a serious mood and with his British accent). "And how well she knows how to knock"
Larry is now once again swaggering to the front of the stage counting, "17-18-19," (Larry has now stomped his foot too hard and has lost his shoe and he is grabbing his sore foot and is dancing around in pain saying, "ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh."
Ted then comes in and says in reference to Larry's shoe. "Let it alone, let it alone, it'll come up by itself."
(A stage hand has now thrown Larry's shoe back onstage).
Moe and Curly are now dancing gleefully around the stage while Larry and Ted are standing on the stage swaying to and fro to the tempo of the music as they are singing.
TED: (Swaying to and fro softly to the music). "I've got a gal in Caroliner, is there anyone finer, if there is do you know her? Show her to me. (My sweet, sweet Dinah). Only her can be finer, in the state of Caroliner. I say, every night, my Dinah might be mine. My sweet, sweet Dinah from the state of Caroliner."
(Moe and Curly are now dancing around the stage wildly, doing a soft shoe dance and are singing). "I'm from the south, the dear sweet, sweet sunny south."
(Larry now comes in with a look of mischief and is doing a frantic paced soft shoe dance and is saying).
LARRY: (Spoken and going totally crazy): "I'm from the the sweet south and I can see the Swanee River and my dear mammie and my pappy and the raven. Come on, hey, hey. I'm from the south, the old, old south. And I can see me now and it we'll be like band heads. And my dear sweet mammie. Hey, hey. I'm from the south."
TED to LARRY: (In a state of anger says to Larry). "What's this hey, hey,? What's this hey, hey?"
LARRY to TED: (In a total state of happiness). "I'm getting hot!"
TED to LARRY: (As he is ripping Larry's shirt off says). "Here, cool yourself off. Leave the hey, hey's out, I'm the boss , I'm the boss, I'm the boss!"
LARRY: (Now getting more wild and going crazy spoken and is doing his soft shoe dance more frantic). "I'm from the south, my dear old sunny south. And I will come home again mammie. I'm gonna grab a choo-choo train. I'll take an airplane, a boat now, here we go, 'woo-woo, wow-wow, hey, hey, I'm from the south."
TED: (Still gently swaying to and fro with the tempo of the music). "I've got a gal in Caroliner. Is there anyone finer. If there is do you know her. Show her to me. (My sweet, sweet Dinah). Only her can be finer. In the state of Caroliner. I say every night, Dinah might be mine. My sweet, sweet Dinah from the state of Caroliner."
MOE AND CURLY: (Still dancing wildly a soft shoe dance around the stage and is singing). "I'm from the south, the dear sweet, sweet sunny south."
LARRY: (Is now in a total state of craziness as he is stomping around the stage his soft shoe dance and a look of mischief on his face and saying). "I'm from the south, my dear old sunny south. I get there when I can. I'll take a choo-choo train. An airplane. I'll take an airplane, and I'm leaving now, contact, hey, hey."
Ted is once again mad at Larry for saying 'hey-hey", and has now ripped off Larry's underwear shirt.

He is standing beside a trick box where Larry is inside supposedly "sawed in half", his feet are in one section, while his head is in the other half and he has a dead look on his face. Curly is "beheaded," and all's you can see is his head sitting on a serving platter sitting on top of a table.

The saw that was used to "saw Larry in half" is standing in between the box halves. Curly is "beheaded", and all's you can see is he heading sitting on a serving platter on top of a table, while Ted is holding a lid cover to Curly's serving platter. To the best of my ability, it looks like Curly is moving his eyes to and fro. Moe is dressed in an oriental styled robe, white scuff styled slippers, and is lying on his stomach and is floating in thin air."

A HECKLER IN THE AUDIENCE CHALLENGES HIM TO GET INSIDE, WHEN HE DOES THE HECKLER IS SO IMPRESSED, HE CALLS THE FOURSOME TO HIS OFFICE. AND SAYS HE'LL BACK THEM ON AN AROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT. HEALY TOPS THAT BY DECLARING THAT THEY WILL MAKE THAT FLIGHT "BACKWARDS." BONNIE'S ON HAND, TO CHRISTEN THE DEPARTING AIRPLANE. NO EXISTING RECORDS EXPLAIN WHY THIS FOOTAGE WAS SCRAPPED.
