Curly has a violent reaction to the sight of a live mouse at any time, going into a fit while demanding, ""Moe! Larry! The Cheese!"". The only cure is for someone to feed him cheese, with Curly telling them which kind. The reason for this is explained by Moe & Larry, stating that Curly's father was a rat. The kind of cheeses that Curly calls for are roquefort, camembert, and limburger; all three of which are known to have highly pungent aromas.
