It's an interjection or an exclamation that is used to draw attention to something that one said, which is the context here.

It's a means of getting Paul's attention.
Alternatives could be Hi, Hello, Excuse me, or just Paul.
I presume Curly is Paul's nickname

Its basically a way of addressing Paul, a bit like saying 'hey, Paul...' it was far more common several years ago, and is used a lot less nowadays in normal conversation.
