Colonel Mustard: “Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there’s nobody else in this house?”

Wadsworth: “Um… no.”

Colonel Mustard: “Then there is someone else in this house?”

Wadsworth: “Sorry, I said “no” meaning “yes.””

Colonel Mustard: “”No” meaning “yes?” Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn’t there, yes, or no?”

Wadsworth: “No.”

Wadsworth: “Yes.”

Miss Scarlet: “I hardly think it will enhance your reputation at the U.N. Professor Plum, if it’s revealed that you have been implicated not only in adultery with one of your patients, but in her death and the deaths of five other people.”

Professor Plum: “You don’t know what kind of people they have at the U.N., I might go up in their estimation.”

___

Miss Scarlet: “Maybe there is life after death.”

Mrs. White: “Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage!”

Colonel Mustard: “How many husbands have you had?”

Mrs. White: “Mine or other women’s?”

Colonel Mustard: “Yours.”

Mrs. White: “Five.”

Colonel Mustard: “Five?”

Mrs. White: “Yes, just the five. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong and disposable.”

Mrs. White: “Flies are where men are most vulnerable.”

Mrs. Peacock: “Uh, is there a little girl’s room in the hall?”

Wadsworth: “You were jealous that your husband was schtupping Yvette. That’s why you killed him, too!”

Mrs. White: “Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much… it-it- the f – it -flam – flames. Flames, on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths… Heathing…”

___

Wadsworth: “Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn.”
