Q

YVETTE: Only ze Cook.

A

ALL: ZE COOK!

59
Q

PLUM: As far as I can tell, the Cook’s not here.

(Screams)

Q

A

PEACOCK: I hate murders!

Q

PLUM: It was Mrs. Peacock!

A

PEACOCK: Yes but I put it down.

MUSTARD: Where?

A

PEACOCK: In the Study. Any one of us could have picked it up.

ALL: Well, I didn’t. / It wasn’t me. / I never even saw the Dagger. (Etc.)

PEACOCK: Well then, it must have been. . . Mr. Green!

63
Q

WADSWORTH: We’ll all be in custody and under suspicion for murder.

A

PEACOCK: Murder!

64
Q

WADSWORTH: What do you mean?

A

PEACOCK: Nobody. No body. Mr. Boddy’s body. It’s gone!

65
Q

PLUM: Well, if he’s not here—then where is he?

A

PEACOCK: Oh my. All this excitement. If you’ll excuse me, I have to uh . . . is there a little girl’s room?

66
Q

YVETE: Oui oui, madame.

A

PEACOCK: No, I just want to powder my nose.

67
Q

WADSWORTH: Mr. Boddy? Dead? Again?

A

PEACOCK: I’m going to faint!

68
Q

WHITE: Mrs. Peacock?

A

PEACOCK: Yes?

69
Q

WHITE: Where did this happen?

A

PEACOCK: In the bathroom! I opened the door and there he was! At first, I thought he was attacking me, but then I realized he’d been left propped up against the doorframe, dead, just waiting to fall on someone!
(She pulls a tiny bottle of booze out from her cleavage and downs it.)

70
Q

SCARLET: Have you all forgotten about the evidence against us?

A

ALL: The evidence!

71
Q

WHITE: Here, prop her up.

A

PEACOCK: Aren’t you all strong and virile? (she drinks from her flask)

72
Q

WHITE: Those are quite valuable.

A

PEACOCK: Now is not the time for art appreciation! Butler . . .

ALL: Ohh

73
Q

WADSWORTH: I’ll put it in my pocket.

A

PEACOCK: But what if you’re the murderer?

74
Q

WADSWORTH: I’m not.

A

PEACOCK: But what if you are?

75
Q

YVETTE: Oui! à l’extérieur!”

A

PEACOCK: But it’s raining “à l’extérieur!”

76
Q

MUSTARD: Riiiight. There’s nobody in the Study.

A

ALL: No!!!

77
Q

MUSTARD: I suggest we handle this in proper military fashion. We split up, and search the house.

A

PEACOCK: Split up!?

78
Q

MUSTARD: But then we would have discovered who the murderer is!

A

PEACOCK: But the other half of the pair would be dead!

79
Q

MUSTARD: You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs—every cook will tell you that.

A

PEACOCK: But look what happened to the Cook!

80
Q

WADSWORTH: Mrs. White, you come with me. Professor Plum, you’re with Mrs. Peacock. Yvette, you go with Mr. Green; and Miss Scarlet, you’re with Eenie Meenie.

A

PEACOCK: But what if someone doesn’t come back?

81
Q

PLUM: This is quite an impressive Library.

A

PEACOCK: How can I find anything if I don’t even know what I’m looking for!

82
Q

PLUM: “Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another.”

A

PEACOCK: Your fancy words don’t intimidate me, Professor!

83
Q

PLUM: I take no credit, Mrs. Peacock. Freud, I think he’s onto something.

A

PEACOCK: Now is not the time for academic pursuits! We’re supposed to find the evidence!

84
Q

PLUM: I mean, it’s not like we’re just gonna walk into a room and find the evidence plastered on the wall.

A

PEACOCK: I suppose you’re right.

85
Q

PLUM: C’mon, let’s go upstairs. Maybe we’ll be excited by something in the bedroom.

A

PEACOCK: I haven’t been excited by something in a bedroom for years.

86
Q

SCARLETT & MUSTARD: HELP! HELP! MURDER! MURDER!

A

ALL GUESTS: LET US IN! LET US IN!

Q

WADSWORTH: That’s right! I did! I do! I don’t! The keys are gone!

A

ALL: Gone?!

88
Q

YVETTE: Ze Safe. It was unlocked!

A

ALL: Unlocked!?!?

89
Q

WADSWORTH: Impossible! I have the key! No I haven’t! It’s gone!

A

ALL: Gone?!

90
Q

SCARLET: Speaking of the killer, there’s a dead body in the Lounge, ya know! The Motorist is dead!

A

PEACOCK: Which one of you killed her?

91
Q

WADSWORTH: The Parker Brothers.

A

ALL: (Ad-libbing) What should we do? / Let’s hide! / You’re being too loud! Maybe this time it’s the killer! (Etc.)

92
Q

GREEN: I’m going to open the door.

A

ALL: No!

93
Q

COP: Did a motorist stop by for help, by any chance?

A

ALL: No.

94
Q

COP: At any rate, can I come in and use the phone?

A

ALL: No!

95
Q

WADSWORTH: All’s clear! You can come out now. Well done, all of you. Impressive!

A

ALL: Nice touch with the alcohol bottle. / I didn’t know you had it in you. (Etc.)

96
Q

Cop: No!

A

ALL: Ahhh / Must’ve been a short in a wire. (Etc.)

PEACOCK: Let there be light!

97
Q

SCARLET: It’s coming from the Library.

A

PEACOCK: That’s where the killer must be!

98
Q

WADSWORTH: Excuse me, Mr. Cop. Are you all right? Do you need assistance? A phone book perhaps?

A

PEACOCK: Hey! Listen, Copper! The butler asked you a question! Hang up the telephone already, or I will!

99
Q

PLUM: How about a round of pool to pass the time?

A

ALL: I love pool. / Good idea. / I could beat anyone at pool. (Etc.)

100
Q

SCARLET: The Cook, Mr. Boddy, the Motorist, the Cop, Yvette, and the Singing Telegram Girl.

A

PEACOCK: But who is the murderer?!

101
Q

WADSWORTH-as himself: To which we all replied . . .

A

ALL: ZE COOK!

102
Q

SCARLET: Enough of this! I know who the murderer is!

A

All: You do?!

103
Q

CHIEF: I’m Barry D. Hatchett.

A

ALL: Chief of Police!

PEACOCK: But that’s not how it happened!

ALL: IT HAPPENED LIKE THIS!

PEACOCK: It was MISS SCARLET, IN THE LIBRARY, WITH THE CANDLESTICK!

104
Q

WADSWORTH: I know who the murderer is.

A

ALL: Who?!

105
Q

WADSWORTH: I’m not Mr. Wadsworth. I’m Mr. Boddy!

A

PEACOCK: How can you be Mr. Boddy if Boddy bled all over me!

106
Q

WADSWORTH: So, now I have each of you on the hook for murder!

A

PEACOCK: Murder?!

107
Q

WHITE: But why this whole charade?!

A

PEACOCK: The searching of the house, the madness of retracing our steps?!

108
Q

WADSWORTH: It’s all part of the game!

A

ALL: Game?!

109
Q

GREEN: I took his place tonight so we could have a sting operation.

A

PEACOCK: Some sting! Six people died on your watch!

110
Q

GREEN: Now we know what really took you so long.

A

PEACOCK: Circumstantial evidence will never hold up in a court of law!

111
Q

CHIEF OF POLICE: All right. Whodunit?

A

ALL: She did!

112
Q

CHIEF: Well done, Goodman.

A

ALL: That’s what he said!
