I don’t understand those who criticize the stooges for being silly and dumb. They worked very hard to be silly and dumb.

Mo: Stop moving, you dumbskull, I'm sleeping

Curly: I'm sorry Mo, I couldn't sleep. I had a bad dream, a foreign muslim became President and began destroying the economy, the middle class, our national standing in the world. Please tell me it's just a dream

Larry: Don't be ridiculous, not this century

Mo: Feel better, moron?

Curly: Yes.

Mo: Now let's go to sleep.

...

Mo: Now what's the matter?

Curly: Please tell me Hillary Clinton isn't real either?

Larry: I'm going to be sick

Mo: I can tell you anything you want, lame brain, but I think it'd be better if you slept in the closet for a while.

Having grown up watching the Three Stooges on Sally Starr’s ‘Popeye Theater’, I am psyched to see this.
This is definitely a cool discovery.
