Warden Before Break Flashcards
Now ladies and gentlemen, I don’t know about you but…
it’s become clear to me that we’ve neglected something VERY IMPORTANT- we have neglected to search any of the suspects! Of course, when I say suspects, I refer solely to the prisoners and Nurse Ely- obviously my wife and myself are above suspicion (general disapproval from inmates and nurse). What? You can’t possibly think that we should be included in this?
Ok, that settles it- what do you all think? Should they be searched too?
Now I’m sure you reasonable ladies and gentlemen will agree to take our words that we have nothing incriminating on us? (wait for nurse to persuade the guests if they say no) Well let’s get this over with: you, take off your coat…. And if you sir could just have a look in the pockets?
(poison is discovered in the Warden’s coat pocket)
Well, we have a rat problem! Do you really blame me for keeping my establishment free of vermin?!
(a letter is found in Nurse Ely’s pocket stating that Prisoner A was poisoned)
What on earth is this, Nurse?
Oh, it just arrived. Is it important?
Don’t you think you should have handed it over to me immediately? We are in the middle of a murder investigation, after all!
Are you absolutely sure the poison was just for the rats, Warden?
Well, that’s obviously nonsense! The letter isn’t at all important! Nurse, you should have thrown the letter away immediately!
(tries to take letter from the nurse with Prisoner B and C stopping warden)
Well, this has been very interesting. After all this excitement, I think the time has come for a break to allow you good people to digest all you have seen so far. If you would follow my wife down to the crypt?
