LARRY:  (To Joe as he is lifting Joe's leg to get it from Moe's pajama  leg says).  "Go ahead."  JOE:  "I'm tugging."

(As Larry is trying to get Joe's leg out, Joe accidentally kicks Larry in the chin with his knee).

JOE:  (Says to Larry):  "See, I tugged to hard."

(Moe starts to say to Joe and Larry):  "I think yous......."

LARRY:  (With excitement in his voice to Moe and Joe says):  "Hey, fellas, don't go away."

JOE:  (As he gently hits Moe says):  "Don't go aways he says."

MOE:  (As he shoves Joe says):  "Don't go away he says."

JOE:  (To Moe as Joe slaps Moe on the face says):  "Stop pushing."

(Larry comes running over to both Moe and Joe with a happy sound in his voice and a pair of shears in his hand as he cuts Moe's pajama leg says):  "Hey, hey, hey, just thought of it, just thought of it, here you are."

MOE:  (To Larry as he hits Larry on the forehead):  "You imbecile, you just wrecked my pajamas."

(Larry backed up rubbing his forehead in pain and Joe reached over and hits Moe on the shoulder).

(Moe now thoroughly disgusted with both Larry and Joe says):  "Now, you both go on up there."

(Moe picks up Larry and throws him on the top bunk as Larry says):  "Wait, wait, ooooh,ooooh."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON LARRY):

(Larry as he is getting thrown up on the top bunk hits his head on the wall and with a dazed look on his face and "birds" circling around his head and starts to fall down on his back in the bunk says):  "Goodnight mother, wind up the cat and put out the clock."

MOE:  (To Joe):  "All right, you're next boy."

(Moe is furiously trying to pick Joe up and put him up there but is unable to).

JOE:  (To Moe doing a little dance and waving his arms turns around and says to Moe):  "Wait a minute, I'll tell you what, you bend down, I'll stand on your back, when you raise up, you'll have me right up in the bunk, how's that?"

MOE:  (To Joe with a happy look on his face and a happy sounding voice says):  "You're really using your brain, okay, baby."

(Moe laughing happily, is now kneeling on the floor as Joe goes to stand on his back, Moe is flat on his face and moaning in pain and shouts to Joe):  "Yen mit, yen mit, get off of me."

(Joe then gets off of Moe and helps Moe off of the floor).

MOE:  (In pain and has a painful look on his face shouts to Joe):  "What are you trying to do, kill me?"

JOE:  (To Moe in a perplexed sounding voice and waving his arms says):  "Moe you're such a weakling, you can't lift little me."

MOE:  (Still thoroughly mad at Joe says):  "It would take a derrick to lift a ton of blubber like you."

JOE:  (To Moe):  "Oh, you're just saying that."

MOE:  (To Joe):  "You sleep down here, I'll get up there, give me a hand."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON JOE):

JOE:  (To Moe as he lifts Moe up to the second bunk says):  "Ok, ok, ok, ok."

(Joe then hoists  Moe up on the bunk where Moe also hits his head on the wall and has a spaced out look on his face, shakes his head and legs and then falls on his back and goes to sleep):

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON JOE, MOE, AND LARRY):

(They are outside of the cabin going over to a hand water pump to get a pail of water).

MOE:  (In general conversation to Larry and Joe as he is filling the pail says):  "What a night, after we finish the breakfast dishes we'll go into town and call pa."

JOE:  (In general conversation to Larry and Moe):  "Yeah, I don't know how he ever stood this place."

LARRY:  (To Joe and Moe):  "Yeah, you can't even get a decent drink, even the water tastes like keorsene."

(Moe with his foot on the water well casing is pumping the handle of the well trying to get some water, with Larry and Joe watching him says):  "What's the matter with this thing now, (Referring to the pump and waving his arms in wonderment).

JOE:  (To Moe in reference to the pump):  "Sounds like it has asthma."

LARRY:  (To Moe):  "Try it again, Moe."

(As Moe goes to try the pump once again, not knowing that he has hit Larry in the chin with his elbow, Larry backs up in pain,  Moe gives the pump three more tries and  says):  "Now, it's stopped we're gonna have to take the pump off and clean it out."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON MOE AND JOE):

(Joe and Moe are taking the pump off to clean it.  After they got it loose, Moe lifts it out and looks down the well). 

MOE:  (To Larry who has a pipe in his hand says):  "Give me that pipe, Larry."

(Larry hands the pipe to Moe and tries to clean out the pump, drops the pipe down there, and the pipe starts shaking and then a rumbling sound starts and with a look of wonder on his face, Joe says):  "It sounds like a bear."

MOE:  (To Joe grabs his hand and says in a mad voice):  "How can a bear be down there?"

JOE:  (To Moe with a happy look on his face and raises a finger at Moe says):  "It's bearly possible."

MOE:  (To Joe gently pushes his arm and says to Joe):  "You, egghead."

JOE:  (Then hits Moe back).

(Moe gives Joe a surprised look.  Then both Moe and Joe are starring at the rumbling well).

MOE:  (Turns to Larry and says):  "Can't see a thing down there, it's so dark, give me a match."

(Larry lights a match off of the back of his head and hands it to Moe).

(Moe drops the match down the well with a dazed look on his face and says to Joe and Larry):  "Not a thing."

(Then a few seconds later, a loud explosion comes up from the well with fire and The Stooges all jump back scared out of their wits and Moe with his arms raised says):  "unh, unh, unh."

(The rumbling sound and the fire stops temporarily and Moe says):  "Well, guess it's all cleaned out boys."  (Moe rubs his hands).

(Moe is bending over to pick-up the pump while Larry and Joe are helping him put it on Moe says):  "Yopeeeeeeee."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON MOE AND JOE):

(Moe and Joe are putting the well on, after they get it on Moe says to Joe):  "All right, pump it."

JOE:  (To Moe with a look on his face as he goes to pump it says):  "I gotta do all the work."

(Joe is now pumping the well, with Larry and Moe watching him, Joe says to Moe with a mad look on his face):  "I wish I was rich."

(Moe waves his hands  a t Joe and says):  "Yeh."

LARRY:  (To Joe):  "Quit wishing for the impossible, and pump it."

(Joe gives the pump four more pumps and then Moe gets down on his knees with a standard screwdriver in his hand and pokes it up the spout of the pump with a determined look on his face, and when that didn't work, Moe then blows up the spout.  When Moe goes to see it was clear, gets hit in the face with a gush of oil, comes up and goes to wipe the oil off of his face with a hand that is also coated in oil says):  "My, goodness."

(Then Moe goes and gets his handkerchief to wipe the oil off of his face and then stands up with Larry and Joe helping him).

(After Moe gets his face cleaned off, the well casing starts to rumble, jump, and shake madly while Moe, Larry, and Joe run away from it towards the cabin to protect themselves from getting hurt).

(A few seconds later, the top of the well casing comes blowing off and an oil gusher comes flying out).

LARRY:  (To Moe with a sound of wonder in his voice as he points to the oil says):  "An ink well."

MOE:  (To Larry with a happy sounding voice and claps his hands says):  "It's E-A-R-L."

LARRY:  (To Moe with a questionable sounding voice):  "E-A-R-L?"

MOE:  (To Larry dancing excitedly and a sound of excitement in his voice says):  "Yeah, coal earl."

LARRY:  (To Moe as he puts his hand on Moe's arm all excited says):  "You mean oil?"

(Larry shouts with total glee to Joe):  "It's oil."

JOE:  (Shouting and dancing in true happiness says):  "Oil, it's a geezer, and oil geezer, we're rich."

MOE:  (Sounding excited and worried says to both Joe and Larry):  "Hey, it's outta control, we gotta cork it."

JOE:  (To Moe sounding perplexed says):  "We haven't got any corks."

MOE:  (In general conversation and sounding a tad mad says):  "Well, we're loosing money, you sit on it."  (Looking at Joe).

JOE:  (To Moe and Larry, Moe and Joe are running over to the well):  "Okay, okay, okay."

(Joe then climbs up on the well casing and goes to sit on the oil geezer).

MOE and LARRY:  (Runs over to Joe who is really happy says):  "Nice work, kid."

JOE:  (To Moe and Larry with a happy look on his face and a feeling of accomplishment says):  "I'm a successful cork."

(Moe turns to shake Larry's hand and they say in happy unison):  "S-U-C-C-E-S-S."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON JOE):

(The impact of the oil comes gushing out with Joe riding on top of it, and now Joe who is suspended fairly high in the air by the oil is shouting in worry to Larry and Moe):  "Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, help, help, I'm an unsuccessful cork."

(As Joe is on the oil well bouncing up and down from the impact is shouting in a scared voice):  'OH, OH, OH, OH, OH."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON LARRY AND MOE):

(They are wondering as they are looking at Joe scared how to help him).

LARRY:  (To Moe when he notices a piece of rope says to Moe):  "Moe, give me that rope."

LARRY:  (To Joe as he puts his hands up to stop Joe says):  "Don't go away."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON JOE):

JOE:  (To Larry with a look on his face as if to say):  "I won't."

(Moe with the rope in his hand ties it like a lasso throws it up to the yelling, scared Joe and says):  "Well, I'll have you down, Joe."

(Moe then tosses the rope up to the well scared and oiled Joe who grabs it and puts it around his waist, then Larry and Moe gives the rope a good, swift tug and sends Joe crashing to the ground).

(After Joe is on the ground, flat on his back, Larry and Moe running over to help him.  Moe as he is picking up Joe says):  "Get up, man."

MOE:  (To the very well oiled and mad Joe  says in a happy sounding voice):  "We're rich, we're rich."

JOE:  (To Moe and Larry is mad a worried says):  "Yeh, we're loosing money, I wish it would stop the rain."

(With Larry, Moe and Joe looking at the oil well, it temporarily stops).

JOE:  (To Moe who is sounding happy).  "See!!!!!!!"

MOE:  (Who thinks the oil well has quit permanently is shouting madly at Joe says):  "Yeh, I see, you wished us out of an oil well."

JOE:  (To Moe and Larry realizing what he had done says in a voice of feeling stupid):  "Oh gee, oh gee, oh gosh, oh doggone it."

(Joe then goes over and sits on the well pipe).

LARRY:  (To Moe with a look of sadness on his face and sadness in his voice says):  "Well, we're broke again."

(CAMERA CLOSE-UP ON MOE AND LARRY):

MOE:  (To Larry extends him his hand to give Larry a firm hand shake says):  "Shake hands with a pauper."

(Joe who is sitting on the well pipe where the oil is says):  "Wish that oil hadn't stopped."

(With Joe sitting on the well pipe the oil starts to erupt once again, sending Joe up with it).

(THE SHORT ENDS):

(Joe is riding the oil well, shouting in total glee and happiness saying):  "Oh, yippee, hooray, yippee, hooray, oh boy, oh boy, "Well, 'OIL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL."
