A scene from Clue 1985

Yvette [upon being assigned to search the attic]: But it is dark upstairs and I am frightened of the dark, will anyone go with me?

Colonel Mustard

I will.

Prof. Plum

I will.

Mr. Green

[turning away]

No thank you.

Mr. Green

[from the third ending]

YOU'RE Mr. Boddy!

Prof. Plum

[Wadsworth chuckles]

Wait a minute! So who did I kill?

Wadsworth

My butler.

Prof. Plum

Oh, shucks.

Mr. Green

Who would want to kill the cook?

Miss Scarlet

Dinner wasn't THAT bad.

Colonel Mustard

How can you make jokes at a time like this?

Miss Scarlet

It's my defense mechanism.

Colonel Mustard

Some defense. If I was the killer, I would kill you next!

Colonel Mustard

[Everyone looks at accusingly Colonel Mustard]

I said IF! IF!

Wadsworth

[The cop has just inspected the study and lounge, where the guests have disguised the bodies so it looks like they are making love. Wadsworth does not know this, and sees the cop exiting the lounge.]

Officer!

Cop

You're too late, I've seen it all.

Wadsworth

You have? I can explain everything!

Cop

You don't have to.

Wadsworth

I don't?

Cop

Don't worry! There's nothing illegal about any of this!

Wadsworth

Are you sure??

Cop

Of course! This is America!

Wadsworth

I see...

Cop

It's a free country! Don't you know that?

Wadsworth

I didn't know it was THAT free.

Mr. Green

[Miss Scarlet and Colonel Mustard have entered the lounge through the secret passage. The secret passage has closed behind them, the lounge door is locked from the outside, and Wadsworth has lost the key to the lounge door]

LET US IN! LET US IN!

Miss Scarlet and Colonel Mustard

LET US OUT! LET US OUT!

Miss Scarlet

[Looking at negatives]

Very pretty. Would you like to see these, Yvette? They might shock you!

Yvette

Non, merci. I am a lay-dee.

Miss Scarlet

Oh, how do you know what kind of pictures they are if you're such a "lay-dee"?

Prof. Plum

What sort of pictures are they?

Col. Mustard

They are MY pictures and I'd like them back, please.

Wadsworth

Why would anyone want to kill him twice?

Miss Scarlet

It seems so unnecessary.

Col. Mustard

That's what we call overkill.

Prof. Plum

That's what we call psychotic.

Colonel Mustard

Looks like a secret passage.

Miss Scarlet

Shall we see where it goes?

Colonel Mustard

What the hell. I'll go first... I've had a good life.

Miss Scarlet

Why has the car stopped?

Professor Plum

It’s frightened.

Mrs. Peacock

So what does your husband do?

Mrs. White

Nothing.

Mrs. Peacock

Nothing?

Mrs. White

Well, he just lies around on his back all day.

Miss Scarlet

Sounds like hard work to me.

Mrs. White

I am willing to believe you. I too am being blackmailed for something I didn’t do.

Mr. Green

Me, too.

Col. Mustard

And me.

Miss Scarlet

Not me.

Wadsworth

You’re not being blackmailed?

Miss Scarlet

Oh I’m being blackmailed all right. But I did what I’m being blackmailed for.

Wadsworth

And Colonel, you drive a very expensive car for someone who lives on a colonel’s pay.

Col. Mustard

I don’t. I came into money during the war when I lost my mommy and daddy.

Wadsworth

...and to make a long story short...

Everybody else

Too late!
