Moe: Well you see... well that is...
[looks up to see the pie unsticking]
Moe: would you pardon me.
Mrs. Smythe-Smythe: If you don't tell me about this metamorphosis. I will always feel that I've missed something.
Moe: Lady, if you don't go right now, you're not going to miss anything.
[starts to walk away, Mrs. Smythe-Smythe stops him]
Mrs. Smythe-Smythe: What's wrong? You act as though the Sword of Demacles is hanging over your head.
Moe: Lady, you must be psychic.

Prof. Sedletz: You with the mattress head, now, if I gave you a dollar and your father gave you a dollar, how many dollars would you have?

Facts about
During a break in filming of this short, Curly Howard suffered a stroke, ending his film career (in the first part of the film. shot before the stroke, Curly is obviously in ill health; his movements are slowed considerably, as is his speech, he looks tired and has lost a noticeable amount of weight). When shooting resumed Moe Howard and Larry Fine continued causing the usual mayhem, with no reference to Curly's absence. Curly did have a cameo role in their next film, Hold That Lion!. In that film, he had a full head of hair, for the first time.
This short marked the debut of Emil Sitka (who plays Sappington the butler) in short from The Three Stooges. He is one of the very few stooge foils to appear in a Stooges short featuring Curly Howard, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser and Joe DeRita.
A remake of Hoi Polloi, this was the first short from The Three Stooges that was a remake of an earlier one.
