Quotes

Higher Than a Kite

Edit
  • Moe: [to Curly] And what did you answer when they asked what does a navigator do?
  • Curly: I told them a navigator crawls through a swamp until it becomes a suitcase, and bites like this too.
  • [Gestures his hands with the snapping motion of an alligator's jaws, with growling imitation]
  • Moe: No, like this.
  • [Uses horizontal motion of alligator's jaws, then slaps Curly with both hands]
  • Kelly: If this is what I think it is, you'll get your wings and a harp with 'em!
  • Marshall Boring: [eyeing Larry, who is dressed as a woman] Come here, my little edelweiss. Zit on my lap.
  • Larry: [looking at the overweight general] What lap?
  • Kelly: This is Colonel Henderson's car, and it's got a little squeak in it. It's driving the colonel nuts. I want it taken out. Savvy?
  • Moe: Leave it to us. We'll squelch that squeak in nothing flat.
  • Kelly: And I want it fixed by 3:00, or else.
  • Curly: Or else what?
  • Kelly: [wrenching his ears] Or else this!
  • Kelly: Hmm, looks pretty good. Say, that windshield looks so clean, you wouldn't know there was any glass in it.
  • Curly: [sticking his head out of the glassless windshield] You said it.
  • [Moe slaps him on the head]
  • Kelly: Did you get that squeak out?
  • Moe: Boy, we got everything out.
  • Gen. Bommel: What? Marshall Boring here? I'll be right out.
  • [hanging up]
  • Gen. Bommel: I wonder how he caught up with us.
  • Larry: I'm sick of this. We came overseas to join the RAF and we're still civilians, working in a garage.
  • Curly: How did we know you would have to pass an intelligence test?
  • Moe: Hello, Kelly. You're a little early.
  • Kelly: How early?
  • Moe: Well, roughly about two days, when you smooth it out about a fortnight.
  • Kelly: [annoyed, grabs Moe] Look, I don't like jokes! You hear?
  • Curly: I'm hungry.
  • Moe: Don't tell me you want to eat some more of those sawdust frankfurters.
  • Curly: They ain't bad with mustard.
  • Moe: Yeah, but that wasn't mustard.
