What's the idea of the three watches?
Shemp: That's the way I tell time.
Moe: How do you tell time?
Shemp: This one is ten minutes slow. This one is twenty minutes fast. The one in the middle is broke; it stopped at two o'clock.
Moe: Well, how do you tell the time?
Shemp: I take the ten minutes slow, subtract it from the twenty minutes fast, and divide by the two in the middle.
Moe: Well, what time is it now?
[Shemp pulls a fourth watch out of his pocket]
Shemp: Oh, it's 9:30.
Moe: [bonks Shemp on the head] Why, you...
Shemp: That's the way I tell time.
Moe: How do you tell time?
Shemp: This one is ten minutes slow. This one is twenty minutes fast. The one in the middle is broke; it stopped at two o'clock.

Moe: [bonks Shemp on the head] Why, you...
Moe:
You get a rope that'll reach to the 10th floor and step on it.
Larry: Hey, you better bolt that door in case our adversaries come back.
Moe: Good idea. "Adversaries?"
Larry: Yeah!
Moe: Since when did you get so smart?
Larry: Oh, I've been smart all the time, only you didn't know it. Say, when I come back, I'll give you the password.
Moe: Brilliant! What'll it be?
Larry: [Whispering] Open the door.
Moe: [Slaps Larry]
Larry: Hey, you better bolt that door in case our adversaries come back.
