A scene from Clue 1985
Mrs. Peacock

Shouldn't we wait for the other guest?

Yvette

I will keep something warm for him.

Miss Scarlet

What did you have in mind, dear?

Col. Mustard

I prefer Kipling myself. "The female of the species is more deadly than the male." Do you like Kipling, Miss Scarlet?

Miss Scarlet

Sure, I'll eat anything.

Wadsworth

I'm merely a humble butler.

Col. Mustard

What exactly do you do?

Wadsworth

I buttle, sir.

Wadsworth

Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Professor Plum

Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.

Wadsworth

So your work has not changed.

Mrs. White

Are you a doctor?

Professor Plum

I am, but I don't practice.

Miss Scarlet

But practice makes perfect. Ha! I think most men need a little practice, don't you Mrs. Peacock?

Wadsworth

The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun.

Miss Scarlet

Oh, come on. You don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?

Wadsworth

It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study, two for the chandelier, two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram.

Miss Scarlet

That's not six.

Wadsworth

One plus two plus two plus one.

Miss Scarlet

Un-uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier, that's one plus two plus ONE plus one.

Wadsworth

Even if you're right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not "one plus TWO plus one plus one."

Miss Scarlet

Okay, fine. One plus two plus one... SHUT UP! The point is, there is one bullet left in this gun and guess who's gonna get it!
