CLUE Edit

A candlestick?

A double negative? Do you mean you have photographs?

A foreign power.

A likely story.

A limousine.

A little higher.

A long black car.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Aah.

Absolutely non.

After we all split up again,

After we found the cook dead.

Again?

Aha!

All of you have been paying what you can afford,

All of you.

All right, I made a mistake.

All right, it's true, I knew Yvette.

All right, lam!

All right, lam!

All right, look.

All right, who done it?

All right.

All right.

All the doors are locked.

All this came out after dinner in the study.

All you have to do is tell the police,

Although you may not have seen me.

And Colonel Mustard and Mrs. White.

And Colonel Mustard's work on the new fusion bomb.

And created a sense of injustice in me.

And dragged him to the toilet.

And force him to confess.

And forget that any of this ever happened.

And furthermore, I'm gonna tell you how it was all done.

And guess who's getting it?

And hurried to the study.

And I introduced Mrs. White to Colonel Mustard.

And I introduced myself to you as a butler,

And I made across the hall to the library.

And I noticed that Mrs. White and Yvette flinched.

And I prevented you from telling me your real name

And I suggest that the two shortest search the cellar,

And I took her coat and hung it up.

And I was going to give them back

And I was wondering if I could use your phone.

And I'm a homosexual.

And I'm frightened of the dark.

And I'm gonna sell my secrets,

And I've been locked into the lounge.

And if I didn't appear,

And in some cases more than you can afford,

And it is certainly not me. It is her.

And it was Mrs. White looking pale and tragic.

And It's always difficult when a group of new friends

And it's no good blackmailing me, madam.

And make a little money out of it.

And Miss Scarlet here. Professor Plum here.

And monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine,

And Mr. Boddy went to get the surprise packages from the hall.

And Mr. Boddy will be behind bars.

And Mrs. Peacock here.

And Mrs. Peacock sat here. And Professor Plum sat here.

And my instructions are to do so.

And nonchalantly rejoined us besides the cook's body in the kitchen.

And none of you know who's blackmailing you. Do you?

And one of them is my old boss from...

And one of us got away from his or her partner

And pretend that none of this has ever happened.

And shot her.

And so forth.

And so had his...

And so on, up.

And someone could've taken it out of my pocket and substituted another.

And stabbed the cook!

And stabbed the cook.

And the cook used to be your cook.

And the cook was in here, alive,

And the doorbell rang.

And the gunshot was intended to kill him, not me.

And the murdered ran back down the secret passage to the study.

And the murdered ran back down the secret passage to the study.

And the murderer switched off the electricity.

And the rest of us all live in a government town.

And the singing telegram girl?

And the stranger's locked up in the lounge.

And the work of your husband,

And then

And then ran back to the cellar.

And then the doorbell rang.

And then the gong was struck by the cook.

And then turn him over to the police.

And then we all followed Colonel Mustard's suggestion

And then Yvette met you and smiled and poured you a drink.

And there are two dead bodies in the study!

And they're not the only ones.

And this conversation is being tape recorded.

And this is Mrs. Peacock.

And to free all of you from the same burden of blackmail

And we put the weapons in the cupboard

And we realized there was only one other person in the house.

And we went into the dining room.

And what was he holding over you?

And while I was in the master bedroom,

And while we all examined the bullet hole,

And who shall I say is calling?

And why are you receiving phone calls from J. Edgar Hoover?

And why would you lock me in?

And wrongful imprisonment and obstructing an officer

And yet, he was the one who died. Not you, Mrs. White. Not you.

And you all opened your presents.

And you also knew her, sir.

And you'll just go on blackmailing us all.

And, Colonel, you drive a very expensive car

And, my, this soup's delicious, isn't it?

Another denial.

Another door?

Another politician. Jesus!

Anybody else want a whiskey?

Anybody else wish to deny it?

Anyone could've picked it up. You, him.

Anyone here not earn their living from the government, one way or another?

Anyway, we all revealed we'd all received a letter.

Are not often to be found in Washington, D.C.

Are not often to be found in Washington, D.C.

Are you a cop?

Are you afraid of silence, Mrs. Peacock?

Are you hiding?

Are you locking me in? I'll take the key.

Are you making moral judgments, Mrs. Peacock?

Are you sure?

Are you there?

Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?

Aren't you gonna tell us?

Armageddon is almost upon us.

As everyone here is in the same boat,

As I was trying to tell you, there are no bullets left in this gun, you see?

As sex after marriage.

As soon as all the guests have arrived.

As soon as Mr. Boddy was unmasked.

As to whether or not there's anybody else in this house.

At least, my wife was.

At the start of the evening, Yvette was here by herself,

At which point I believe our unknown host will reveal his intentions.

Be my guest.

Because I am frightened. Me, too.

Because it's all too shocking.

Because Mrs. Peacock was screaming about the poisoned brandy.

Because she was with us all in the billiard room doorway

Because their radios didn't work.

Because you were all implicated in Mr. Boddy's dastardly blackmail.

Before he could blackmail anyone,

Before he finds out what's been going on here?

Before I fainted, or after I fainted...

Being killed is pretty final, wouldn't you say?

Between patients who are alive or dead.

Blackmail depends on secrecy.

BREATH

Breathing, heaving breaths,

Brilliantly worked out, Wadsworth.

But Colonel Mustard wasn't in the cellar.

But he holds a sensitive security post in the Pentagon.

But he never reappeared.

But he was found dead at home. His head had been cut off.

But he was with us in the billiard room when we found Yvette screaming.

But he was your second husband.

But how can we possibly find out which of you did it?

But I am a butler. In fact, I was his butler.

But I am determined to enjoy myself.

But I didn't do it!

But I didn't know anything about any of you until this evening.

But I didn't.

But I have a feeling that I'm in danger.

But I must keep it a secret or I'll lose my job on security grounds.

But I think there's a phone in the lounge.

But if I wasn't trying to keep the conversation going,

But if one of you kills Wadsworth now,

But if the payment is delivered by

But if you want to know who killed Mr. Boddy,

But in her death and the deaths of five other people.

But it seems to me you've done the world a public service

But it was locked!

But it was not his untimely death this evening

But it's dark upstairs.

But look what happened to the cook.

But my car broke down out here

But one of us knows he's alive.

But one of us wasn't here. No.

But remember what happened next.

But that doesn't make me a murderer.

But that was his job. He was an illusionist.

But the other half of the pair would be dead!

But the police will be here any minute. What happens then?

But then I forgot, we're not supposed to say who we really are,

But this is ridiculous.

But what I don't understand is

But what I don't understand is

But what if you are?

But where and when was Mr. Boddy killed?

But where?

But while we were in the billiard room,

But yes. See for yourself.

But you can pay me in government information.

But you've been paying blackmail for over a year now

But your souls are in danger.

But, look!

By now she was dead.

By ridding it of an appalling blackmailer and his disgusting informers.

Can I come in and use your phone?

Can I interest any of you in fruit or dessert?

Can I just get my little bag from the hall?

Can we help?

Careful. Don't get blood on the sofa.

Certainly not!

Certainly not. I'd obtained them for the colonel

Certainly.

Certainly.

Clearly his best hope of escaping death was to pretend to be dead already.

Colonel Mustard has a top secret Pentagon job.

Colonel Mustard, when we saw the motorist at the front door,

Colonel, are you willing to take that chance?

Come back to the study with us.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on. What do you do?

Come on. You don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick.

Coming!

Communism was just a red herring.

Confront Mr. Boddy with his crimes,

Crossed the hall, opened the cupboard, took the wrench,

Crossed to the library, where she hit the cop, whom she'd been bribing,

Da da da da da da

Dead drunk.

Dead right.

Destroyed.

Did anyone recognize you?

Did none of you deduce the others were involved, too?

Did the driver come in here for any help by any chance?

Did you know you were meeting us?

Die?

Dinner wasn't that bad.

Dinner will be ready at 7:30.

Dinner.

Discuss our little financial arrangements.

Do come in, madam. You are expected.

Do sit down, Mr. Boddy.

Do you know who I am?

Do you miss him?

Do you want to go up in front of me?

Does anyone here not live in Washington D.C.?

Does the FBI have a habit of cleaning up after multiple murder?

DOG ANGRY

Don't be ridiculous. If I was the murderer,

Don't deny it.

Don't I know you from someplace?

Don't we, dear?

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

Don't you remember your fatal mistake?

Don't you see? Look.

Don't you think we should get that man out of the house

Don't you think you might spare us this humiliation.

Don't you touch me!

Don't you, Mrs. Peacock?

Don't you?

DOORBELL

Down here!

Down here! Get us out of here! Please!

Easy. Yvette told you.

Eating dinner.

Even if you're right, that'll be one plus one plus two plus one.

Even psychiatrists can tell the difference

Ever since your husband died under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances.

Every cook will tell you that.

Everyone here tonight was either Mr. Boddy's victim or accomplice.

Everyone who's died gave him vital information about one of you.

Everything all right?

Everything will be explained.

Except you, Wadsworth.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excusez moi.

Family planning.

FBI. That phone call from J. Edgar Hoover was for me.

Fine.

Fine.

First, the murderer needed to get the weapons. Easy.

Flames on the side of my face,

Flies are where men are most vulnerable.

Follow me.

For a doctor to take advantage of his patients,

For a senator to have a corrupt wife,

For a wife to emasculate her husband,

For coffee and brandy,

For she's a jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly good fellow.

For she's a jolly...

For some considerable time,

For some reason he felt that it was inappropriate

For someone who lives on a colonel's pay.

For the same reason he hated all of you.

For the use of an alias.

Forgive my curiosity, Mr. Boddy, but did your letter say the same thing?

Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a damn.

Frightfully drafty, these old houses.

From the person who later killed her?

From what we call "pressure of speech."

Gentlemen with the company of a young lady for a short while.

Gentlemen,

Gentlemen, turn out your pockets.

Gentlemen, turn out your pockets.

Get off me.

Get on with it!

Get your mitts off me.

GLASS CRASH **STOP SOON

Go away!

Go on. I'll be right behind you.

God.

Gone.

GONG

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Good evening. Have you ever given any thought to the kingdom of heaven?

Good evening. I don't know if...

Good evening. You're eagerly awaited.

Good idea!

Good shot, Green.

Got the gun, and shot the door open. Bang!

Got the rope from the open cupboard, and throttled Yvette.

Grand.

Great idea.

Great! We'll all go to the chair.

GUNSHOT

Half of Washington knows what kind of business you run.

Has led to proof positive. I'm afraid you gave yourself away.

Have no access to government secrets.

Have we met before?

Having some sort of party,

He believed that you were all thoroughly un American.

He decided to put his information to good use

He didn't actually seem to like me very much.

He got up and followed them down the hall.

He has the key to the front door,

He hated my wife

He jumped UP.

He knew that I was a war profiteer.

He must have a victim in there.

He stole the key from my pocket.

He threatened to kill me in public.

He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man.

He was dead! I examined him.

He was deranged. He was a lunatic.

He was expendable, like all of you.

He was my driver during the war.

He was on my payroll.

He was. At least, I thought he was.

He wasn't a very good illusionist.

He won't be driving home, Officer. I promise you that.

He'll be convicted and your troubles will be over.

He's absolutely right. Look, there's a bullet hole here in the wall. See that?

He's attacking her.

He's behind one of those curtains.

He's dead!

He's got new injuries. Well, he's certainly dead now.

He's right!

He's the one who's blackmailing you.

Heaving...

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Hello.

Help me!

Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Her husband, the senator, has influence over defense contracts.

Hey, come on. There's only one admitted killer here.

Hill House, off Route 41.

His license to practice has been lifted. Correct?

His secret? Haven't you guessed?

How can we throw him outside in this weather?

How can you make jokes at a time like this?

How could he risk it? We might've seen him running back.

How could I have known about the secret passage?

How did the murderer know about them all?

How did you know it was unlocked?

How did you know my name?

How did you know that you could get at the gun?

How did you know that?

How did you know that?

How did you know we said that?

How did you know?

How disgusting!

How do we do this? The dagger will go further into her back.

How do you know what kind of pictures they are if you're such a lady?

How do you know who I am?

How else could I have known everything about you all?

How then do you justify taking bribes

How would you know? When were you in that men's room?

How?

How? By cutting his head off, I suppose?

Husbands should be like Kleenex,

I also drink the cognac. Mon Dieu!

I also received a letter.

I am your singing telegram

I am, but I don't practice.

I am, sir.

I asked you for your coat, and I recognized you as Colonel Mustard.

I bribed him once a week so I could carry on with business.

I can tell you. He's working on the secret of the next fusion bomb.

I can't believe it.

I can't stay here by myself.

I can't take any more scares.

I can't unlock the door without the key!

I congratulate you.

I could've been killed!

I did warn you, my dear.

I did, in the hall, with the revolver.

I didn't do it!

I didn't do it!

I didn't do it!

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't know it was that free.

I didn't throw it. I put it in my pocket.

I didn't!

I didn't.

I do have a secret or two.

I do know a little bit about psychological medicine, yes.

I don't approve of murder,

I don't know what it is.

I don't know! But any of you could have picked it up.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. He's on everybody else's. Why shouldn't he be on mine?

I don't see any light switches in there.

I don't think so. You've never identified yourself to them, I believe.

I don't think they know my real business.

I don't want a scandal, do I?

I don't.

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

I enjoy getting presents from strange men.

I expect you to believe it. You killed the cook,

I feel no personal shame or guilt about this,

I found an abandoned car down near the gates of this house.

I gathered you all here together

I gathered you all here together

I got news for you. It's already here.

I got them here so they'd give evidence against him

I had an affair with her.

I had been out all evening at the movies.

I had to stop her from screaming.

I hardly think it will enhance your reputation at the UN, Professor Plum,

I hate when he does that.

I hated her so much,

I have no more money.

I have nothing to hide.

I have something to say.

I invited you. In fact, I wrote the letters.

I just said it so you would open the door. What's going on around here?

I keep everything tidy. That's all.

I know because I was there.

I know who you are.

I know, because I was Mr. Boddy's butler,

I know, madam.

I know, sweetie pie.

I know! I have it!

I know. So I choose to expose myself.

I mean I admit

I mean, how are we to get acquainted if we don't say anything about ourselves?

I mean, I have absolutely no idea what we're doing here

I mean, I'm afraid It came as a great shock to him when he died.

I mean, I'm used to being a hostess. It's part of my husband's work.

I mean, no, thank you.

I might go up in their estimation.

I need a drink.

I prefer Kipling myself.

I received a similar letter.

I resolved to put Mr. Boddy behind bars.

I run a specialized hotel and a telephone service which provides

I said "if." If.

I see you know each other.

I see.

I see. That's why he was lying on his back. In his coffin.

I shall need to take you through the events of the evening step by step.

I shot her.

I stole essential air force radio parts, and I sold them on the black market.

I suggest we all draw lots for partners.

I suggest we handle this in proper military fashion.

I suggest we take him up on that offer.

I suppose you're right.

I think I can help them make up their minds.

I think I would break it open, but it was open already.

I think most men need a little practice,

I think she meant he threatened in public to kill her.

I think you'd better explain yourself, Wadsworth.

I think you'd better explain.

I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.

I thought Mr. Boddy was our host.

I told you I didn't do it.

I told you I didn't do it.

I told you there isn't.

I was a victim, too.

I was going to expose you.

I was in the hall.

I was listening.

I was once his butler,

I went upstairs with you, yes, you, Mrs. White.

I work for him of course.

I work for the State Department,

I work for UNO, the United Nations Organization.

I work in Washington, too.

I, too, am being blackmailed for something I didn't do.

I'd say it stinks.

I'll book you for false arrest

I'll catch her. Fall into my arms.

I'll go first.

I'll keep something warm for him.

I'll leave first, if you don't mind.

I'll see to that in court.

I'll tell you why not.

I'm a capitalist,

I'm a little accident prone.

I'm a little nervous.

I'm a senator's wife!

I'm afraid I'm a little bit accident prone.

I'm afraid I'm a little bit accident prone.

I'm afraid those are the negatives to which Colonel Mustard earlier referred.

I'm being blackmailed all right. But I did what I'm being blackmailed for.

I'm coming! I'm coming!

I'm coming.

I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife.

I'm grateful to you all for disposing of my network of spies and informers.

I'm in this big house,

I'm instructed to explain to you what you all have in common with each other.

I'm just trying to find the door.

I'm not a forensic expert!

I'm not denying anything.

I'm not gonna wait for Wadsworth here to unmask me.

I'm not shouting!

I'm not the butler,

I'm not.

I'm only a guest.

I'm shouting! I'm shouting! I'm...

I'm sorry, sir. You cannot leave this house!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb the whole household,

I'm sure there's no one up there.

I'm sure we're all glad to hear that.

I'm the butler. I like to keep the kitchen tidy.

I'm very intrigued.

I'm Wadsworth, sir.

I've admitted nothing.

I've an idea. We'll throw it away.

I've been shot.

I've certainly seen you before,

I've had a good life.

If he told you to invite us all to his house, why did he arrive late?

If he was dead already?

If he was such a patriotic American,

If I were him, I'd be suspicious already.

If it's revealed that you've been implicated

If that's when the cook was killed, how did he do it?

If there's anybody in here,

If we let him stay in the house, he may get suspicious.

If we split up into pairs,

If we throw him out, he may get even more suspicious.

If you can't fight fairly, don't fight at all.

If you denounce me to the police,

If you leave, I'll say that you killed them both.

In fact, I think we all owe you a vote of thanks.

In my pocket.

In order to help you understand what happened,

In return for delivering your husband.

In that case, may I suggest we adjourn to the study

In the course of his duty, and murder!

In the dark, the murderer ran across the hall to the study,

In the library.

In your hands, you each have a lethal weapon.

Indeed, no, sir. I'm merely a humble butler.

Is for one of you to kill Wadsworth now.

Is he one of your clients?

Is it?

Is that what we ate?

Is there gonna be a cover up?

Is there someone else or isn't there, yes or no?

Is this a plot between them, Wadsworth, or did Colonel Mustard do it alone?

Is this place for you?

Is this the right address to meet Mr. Boddy?

Isn't that in the public interest? What could be gained by exposure?

It contained photographs and letters,

It contains evidence, I presume?

It contains surprises, my friend. That's what it contains, surprises.

It could only be 'cause he realized his scheme had misfired,

It flames,

It is signed, "A friend."

It seemed to me the best way to do it

It should be just off there.

It took less than half a minute.

It was all my idea.

It was Colonel Mustard's suggestion.

It was easy for you here on the ground ?oor.

It was her employer, Miss Scarlet.

It was you, Mrs. Peacock, wasn't it?

It wasn't luck. I invited him.

It worked.

It's a great trick.

It's frightened.

It's locked.

It's Mr. Boddy!

It's my defense mechanism.

It's no good. Stand back.

It's not a trick.

It's not all that shocking.

It's not so easy.

It's not true.

It's not what I'd intended.

It's the chandelier, fell down and almost killed us.

It's what Mrs. White said in the study,

It's you and me, honeybunch.

It's you!

Just a moment please.

Just checking.

Just in case of what?

Just look out!

Just seems to me that you seem to suffer

Killed the motorist with a blow on the head,

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Mr. Boddy.

Ladies and gentlemen, please. Please return to the study.

Ladies and gentlemen, the police will be here in about 45 minutes.

Ladies and gentlemen, you all have one thing in common.

Ladies first.

Ladies first.

Ladies, empty your purses.

Ladies, empty your purses.

Leave quietly, one at a time,

Let him stay locked up for another half hour.

Let me out of here! Let me out of here! You have no right to shut me in.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Let me show you.

Let us in! Let us in!

Let us out! Let us out!

Let's clean this up.

Let's consider each murder one by one.

Let's go look in the billiard room again.

Let's put them all in this cupboard and lock it.

Let's see.

Let's try the ballroom again.

Life after death's as improbable

Like all members of the oldest profession,

Like that!

Listen!

Lock it, leave quietly one at a time,

Locked it, and ran to the front door

Look! I demand to know what's going on.

Look! The bullet broke that vase on the mantle.

Look.

Look. I suggest we take the cook's body into the study.

Look. I want a straight answer.

Look. The bullet grazed his ear.

Look. We still have these weapons,

Looks like a secret passage.

Looks like we'll never know.

Ls everything all right, Mrs. Ho?

Make it look convincing.

Makes quite a difference to him.

May I introduce you?

May I present Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet.

May I take your bag?

May I take your coat? It is Colonel Mustard, isn't it?

May I use your phone now?

Maybe he was poisoned.

Maybe Mr. Boddy killed the cook!

Maybe one of us was murdering the cook.

Maybe the cop answered it.

Maybe there is life after death.

Maybe they'll just go away.

Me, too.

Me, too. Where are you going?

Me?

Me? Why me?

Meanwhile, Mr. Boddy had been on the floor.

Meet together for the first time to get acquainted.

Merely quoting, sir, from Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Merely, that you were all meeting to

Mind if I smoke?

Mine or other women's?

Miss Scarlet seized the opportunity and under cover of darkness,

Mmm. This is one of my favorite recipes.

Mr. Boddy followed us out of the study and into the hall looking for an escape.

Mr. Boddy found out somehow.

Mr. Boddy found that out, too.

Mr. Boddy had to discover their guilty secret.

Mr. Boddy lay on the floor apparently dead.

Mr. Boddy switched off the lights.

Mr. Boddy threatened to give my wife's name

Mr. Boddy threatened to send those pictures to my dear old mother,

Mr. Boddy was on the floor, pretending to be dead,

Mr. Boddy.

Mr. Boddy. Dead again!

Mr. Green stood here.

Mr. Green, Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard.

Mr. Green...

Mr. Hoover is an expert on Armageddon.

Mrs. Peacock did it all.

Mrs. Peacock took a drink.

Mrs. Peacock was a man?

Mrs. Peacock, it's all right.

Mrs. Peacock.

Mrs. White sat here.

Mrs. White, no man in his right mind would be alone together with you.

Mrs. White, this is Yvette, the maid.

Mrs. White, you've been paying our friend the blackmailer

Mrs. White's husband was a nuclear physicist, and...

My business is secrets.

My butler.

My God!

My God!

My God!

My God!

My God.

My God.

My God.

My God.

My God. Of course!

My God. We can't have them come here now.

My husband had an affair with her, but I didn't care, I wasn't jealous.

My husband's a paid consultant. There's nothing wrong with that.

My letter says,

My life is an open book. I've never done anything wrong.

My, oh.

My. Nobody can get into that position.

Naturally, I could hardly resist putting in an appearance.

Neither do I.

Neither do I. But there must be switches somewhere.

Neither of them shot.

Never mind about the key. Unlock the door!

No body, that's what we mean. Mr. Boddy's body's gone.

No gun. Yvette dropped it here.

No kidding?

No one but the seven of us will ever know.

No, but you were.

No, I just want to powder my nose.

No, I work for a branch of UNO. WHO, the World Health Organization.

No, I'm not on duty,

No, merci. I am a lady.

No, Mr. Green, communism is just a red herring.

No, no, you can go first.

No, sir. For the seventh guest, Mr. Boddy.

No, thank you.

No, thanks, Yvette. I just ate.

No, thanks.

No, there is, or no there isn't?

No, you can take that away, honey.

No, your work has not changed. But you don't practice medicine at the UN.

No!

No? Who's gonna stop me?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Communism was just a red herring.

No. I'll leave it here 'till I need it.

No. I'm afraid there's something in them that concerns me, too.

No. It's a vicious lie!

No. Just death. Isn't that enough?

No. No, he's dead.

No. Not you, sir.

No. You could use the one in the...

Nobody calls me a bastard!

Nobody could blackmail me.

Nobody here.

Nobody! Look. There's no gunshot wound.

Nobody's called them.

None of us killed Mr. Boddy or the cook.

None of you even met him till tonight.

None.

Not again.

Not for us. We have to find out who did this.

Not if it's publicly declared, perhaps.

Not if they used this secret passage.

Not one plus two plus one plus one.

Not only in adultery with one of your patients

Not so fast, Miss Scarlet.

Not so incredible as what happened next.

Not that key. The key to the cupboard.

Not the cognac, just in case.

Not what you intended?

Nothing?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing's explained. We still don't know who killed him.

Now how did you know her name?

Now I suggest that we stack the bodies in the cellar,

Now Mr. Boddy.

Now there's one thing I don't understand.

Now, shouldn't we wait for the other guest?

Now, why have we all been dragged out here to this horrible place?

Now. Who...

Obviously, in case Mr. Boddy had told them about you.

Of Colonel Mustard's fusion bomb,

Of course she did.

Of course you may, sir.

Of course, since you've each been addressed by a pseudonym,

Of course. Back to the study.

Of course. This is America.

Of course. Why not?

Officer, come with me. I'll show you the dining room

Officer, I don't think you should go in there.

Okay, Chief, take them away.

Okay, fine, one plus two plus one... Shut up!

Okay, put the corpses on the sofa.

Okay, take her away.

Okay.

Om

On the desk was the envelope from Mr. Boddy.

On the head with a lead pipe.

One by one you all arrived.

One day, when we're alone together...

One of her favorite recipes,

One of us could have stayed in the study,

One of us must have killed him.

One of us slipped through the same secret passage.

One of you is the killer!

One plus two...

One thing?

One thing?

Only that you are to be known as Mrs. White.

Open them.

Open up...

Opened the front door,

Or an adulterous doctor?

Or Colonel Mustard's work with the new, top secret fusion bomb?

Or the ballroom.

Or the kitchen

Or they'll be killed.

Or was it a jealous wife?

Or what I'm doing here or what this place is about,

Other way!

Our lives are in danger, you beatnik!

Over my dead body, sir.

Pay attention, everybody.

Perhaps he doesn't want to get acquainted with you.

Perhaps in the fire.

PHONE RING (LONGGG)

Photographs of you and Yvette in ?agrante delicto, remember?

Picked up the candlestick.

Picked up the dagger,

Picked up the gun where Yvette dropped it,

Picked up the rope and the lead pipe,

Please be seated.

Please help yourself to a drink, if you'd like.

Please help yourself to brandy and be seated.

Please sit down, everyone.

Please!

Please! Help us!

Please! I've never heard anything so ridiculous!

Please.

Please.

Please. There are ladies present.

Plus one is...

Plus one...

Plus two...

Point is there's one bullet left in this gun.

Point of order.

Practice makes perfect.

Professor Plum and Miss Scarlet. I didn't realize you were acquainted.

Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry,

Professor Plum. You knew Mr. Boddy was still alive.

Professor Plum's UN contacts,

Put 'em up!

Ran to the billiard room,

Ran to the conservatory, entered the lounge through the secret passage,

Ran to the door, opened it,

Ran to the library, hit the cop on the head with the lead pipe.

Ran to the library, hit the cop on the head with the lead pipe.

Ran to the library, killed the cop,

Ready? The two shortest together,

Ready.

Recognized the girl from her photograph, shot her,

Recognized the singing telegram from her photograph,

Repent. The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Right, but if so, why was Mr. Boddy pretending to be dead?

Right.

Right.

Run down the hall,

Saved me a lot of trouble. Now there's no evidence against me.

SCREAM 1

SCREAM 2

Search me.

Seems so unnecessary.

Senator Peacock's vote to certain lobbyists?

Seriously, I don't see what's so terrible about Colonel Mustard

Shark's fin soup, madam.

Sharpening knives, preparing for dinner.

She crept into the study, picked up the dagger, ran to the kitchen,

She had friends who were

She heard the gunshot. She thought he was dead.

She refused, so he blackmailed her.

She screamed, and we all ran to her.

She screams. "Aah!"

She used to be your cook, and she informed on you to Mr. Boddy.

She was in the billiards room listening to our conversation.

She was my patient once.

She, too, was being blackmailed by this odious man

She's going to faint.

She's going to faint.

Should we see where it leads?

Shucks.

Shut the door.

Shut up!

Shut Up!

Since you told us that she's dead already.

Sit down. Sit down.

Sitting here at dinner, Mrs. Peacock told us she was eating

Six all together.

SLAM

Slipping used greenbacks in plain envelopes

So could I.

So did I.

So did we. Didn't we?

So how did you know Colonel Mustard works in Washington?

So I explained that I was Mr. Boddy's butler and I'd invited you here.

So it's true?

So she hit him on the head with the candlestick,

So the murderer is in this room?

So this all had nothing to do with the disappearing nuclear physicist

So when we split up again, you switched off the electricity.

So which of us killed them?

SO who did I kill?

So who did?

So who wasn't there the entire time in the kitchen?

So whoever knew

So why shouldn't we get away with it?

So you could be the murderer.

So you pretended he was dead

So Yvette ran to the open cupboard,

So, everything's explained.

So, he had the motive.

So, I'm afraid your moment has come.

So, I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling.

So, is this for our host?

So, it is political.

So, it must have been Mr. Green who shot the singing telegram.

So, it was you.

So, Miss Scarlet, does this mean that you live in Washington, too?

So, now you all know why they died.

So, this is the dining room.

So, what do you do in Washington D.C., Mr. Green?

So, who is our host, Mr. Wadsworth?

So, you're not the butler?

So?

Socialists.

Soft, strong, and disposable.

Some defense. If I was the killer, I'd kill you next.

Somebody catch her!

Somebody help me, please.

Somebody tried to grab the gun from me in the dark and the gun went off.

Somebody will give him a lift, huh?

Something funny's going on here.

Sorry, didn't mean to frighten anyone.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry. Didn't mean to frighten you.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Sounds like hard work to me.

Specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics

Split Up?

Stand back! Give him air!

Stay there.

Strangled Yvette.

Suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Sure do.

Sure they can.

Sure.

Sure. I'll eat anything.

Take your hands off me!

Tape recordings aren't admissible evidence.

Tell them the truth,

Thank you, Yvette.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm late for a dinner date.

That brought my employment with him to an end.

That I'd guessed that this young singer informed on me to Mr. Boddy.

That just leaves Mr. Boddy.

That means that you can open it whenever you want.

That must be it.

That sounds like a confession to me. In fact, the double negative

That the cook had worked for one of you.

That the cook was involved killed her?

That we split up and search the house.

That we were eating one of your favorite recipes,

That would've been quite an achievement,

That you also live in Washington, D.C.?

That you were one of Miss Scarlet's clients.

That's a lie!

That's evidence.

That's how he got all his information.

That's how I lost my license.

That's how I made all my money.

That's how you were able to kill him later, unobserved.

That's one plus two plus one plus one.

That's right!

That's right.

That's right. And we couldn't get in.

That's right. He was the missing person in the kitchen

That's what he says, but does he know?

That's what we call overkill.

That's what we're trying to find out! We're trying to find out

That's where I'm going. I got a letter like this.

That's where it comes out?

That's why I'm nervous.

That's why you killed him, too.

That's why you were so desperate to get your hands on those negatives,

The body's gone!

The butler is head of the kitchen and dining room.

The butler.

The cellar.

The cook and Yvette were his accomplices.

The cook!

The cop arrived next.

The cop was from Washington.

The door is locked!

The doorbell rang.

The evidence against us, no doubt.

The evidence of Mr. Boddy's network of informants.

The FBI will take care of that.

The funny thing is,

The gun is missing.

The gun is missing. Whoever's got the gun, shot the girl.

The gun, the rope, the wrench, the lead pipe.

The head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The key.

The key's gone!

The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The kitchen, the ballroom.

The motorist!

The murderer came out of the secret panel,

The murderer crept up behind him and killed him!

The murderer must've run out.

The murderer picked up the gun where Yvette dropped it,

The murderer was in the secret passage.

The murderer went to the cupboard,

The next two shortest together. Agreed?

The nuclear physicist.

The one person who wasn't with us.

The only possible place.

The only way to avoid finding yourselves on the front pages,

The phone. What body?

The point is we've got to find out in the next 39 minutes before the police arrive.

The point is... Blackmail!

The police already came!

The police are coming.

The police will be here any minute.

The police will be here by then,

The secrets of Senator Peacock's defense committee,

The shock would've killed her.

The suicide of my wife preyed on my mind

The whole town would be implicated if you were exposed.

Then he threw him into the toilet

Then I hurried across to the kitchen.

Then I shall. I have evidence in my possession.

Then there is someone else in this house?

Then there was a rumble of thunder and a crash of lightning.

Then there were three more murders.

Then there were three more murders.

Then we found the secret passage from the conservatory to the lounge,

Then we go together.

Then we split up again,

Then we would just be sitting here in an embarrassed silence.

Then we would've discovered who the murderer is.

Then why are you paying the blackmailer?

Then why was he bashed on the head a few minutes later with a candlestick

Then you go in front.

Then you suggested that we all split up.

Then Yvette returned to the billiard room.

Then, coming out of the library, the doorbell rang. It was a singing telegram.

Then, having found out the whole story,

Then, in the dark, you got the lead pipe, and the rope, strangled Yvette,

Then, more screaming.

There are no more bullets left in that gun.

There isn't any confusion or there isn't anybody else?

There seems to be some kind of disagreement.

There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study, two for the chandelier,

There we go.

There's a homicidal maniac about.

There's a secret passageway from the conservatory.

There's a whole group of people here

There's no alternative. I'm just going to have to break it down.

There's no body. Nobody. There's nobody in the study.

There's no harm in my revealing some details.

There's no indication of how he died?

There's no need to shout!

There's no one here.

There's no proof.

There's no way out. All the windows have bars.

There's safety in numbers, my dear.

There's still one thing I don't understand.

These folks are just having a good time.

They all did it!

They know every inch of my body,

They must have, and not just my face.

They're my pictures and I'd like them back please.

They're shooting at us.

This all has nothing to do

This chair was vacant.

This house belongs to a friend of mine. I've known all along.

This is absolutely terrible.

This is an outrage. You can't hold us prisoner!

This is getting serious.

This is incredible.

This is war, Peacock. Casualties are inevitable.

This man's drunk.

This was both true and misleading.

Those two rooms.

Those two rooms.

Though heavens to Betsy I don't know why.

Three murders?

Tip her forward over the arm.

To be perfectly frank,

To create confusion.

To get you out.

To keep that story out of the papers.

To make a long story short...

To someone who threatens to expose you,

To the highest bidder.

To the House Un American Activities Committee unless she named them.

To throw away the key.

Tonight, you may well feel obliged to my employer

Too late.

True or false?

True. Who are you, Perry Mason?

Trying to stop Yvette from panicking,

Turn on the lights!

Two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram.

Two murders.

Under the door of the men's room, how would you describe that transaction?

Unless he wasn't dead before.

Unless she dies, too.

Unless you would care to do the honors, Mr. Boddy?

Unless...

Unlocked it with the key, took out the wrench...

Very funny.

Very good.

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

Very well, I know who did it.

Very well, sir.

Very well.

Visiting a house of ill fame. Most soldiers do, don't they?

WADSWORTH Wait, wait!

Wadsworth would be informing the police about it all.

WADSWORTH Yes.

Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there's nobody else in this house?

Wadsworth, I was...

Wadsworth, I'll make you sorry you ever started this.

Wadsworth, let me out.

Wadsworth, we got her.

Wadsworth, well done.

Wadsworth, where's our host, and why have we been brought here?

Wadsworth. Don't hate me for trying to shoot you.

WADSWORTH1 Yes! Look!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I don't understand.

Wait a minute. Let me look at that.

Wait a minute. Suppose that one of us is the murderer.

Waiting to offer you all a glass of champagne.

Want a lift?

Was it because she was acting under orders

Was it one of her clients?

Was that his final word on the matter?

Was that necessary, Mrs. White?

Was that we work for him for nothing. We were slaves.

Was the brandy poisoned?

Was the policeman working for Mr. Boddy, too?

Was to get everyone face to face,

Washington? So, you're a politician's wife?

Watch it.

We all ran to the kitchen to see the cook.

We all rushed out.

We always get our man.

We came back to the study with Yvette.

We can't take fingerprints.

We could expose you. Six murders?

We didn't hear the cook scream

We didn't know we were meeting you tonight.

We don't know anything.

We don't know that we are.

We forgot the cupboard with the weapons was now unlocked.

We found him together.

We found it, Colonel Mustard and me.

We had had a very humiliating public confrontation.

We had no money. And the price of his silence

We haven't finished searching the house yet.

We know each other.

We laid her down with our backs to the freezer.

We locked him in the library.

We shall see. Let's look at the other murders.

We should've made sure.

We should've told him.

We split up and search the house.

We took her to the sofa.

We were all in a huddle.

We weren't.

We'd better look for him.

We'll get him a car.

We'll stack the bodies in the cellar, lock it,

We're all looking at him or her!

We're having a party.

We're running out of time. Only 15 minutes before the police come.

We've already established

We've got to know who did it. We're all in this together now.

We've just come from the library.

Well there's nobody else left.

Well,

Well, a lot of our airmen died

Well, come on then. Who's your husband?

Well, he couldn't have been dead.

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

Well, I am willing to believe you.

Well, I believe we all received a letter.

Well, I could use a drink.

Well, I didn't do it!

Well, I'm gonna start while it's still hot.

Well, I'm sure I don't know.

Well, if it wasn't you, then who was it?

Well, if you'll excuse me. I have to...

Well, it's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead, I have a life.

Well, it's got to be put somewhere. If I've got it, I know I'm safe.

Well, ladies first.

Well, let's put her in the study with the others.

Well, one of us did. We all had the opportunity. We all had a motive.

Well, she's not here.

Well, someone's got to break the ice and it might as well be me.

Well, the gun is missing.

Well, there's still some confusion

Well, we all make mistakes.

Well, we know what's in the study.

Well, what are you afraid of? A fate worse than death?

Well, what now?

Well, what's all this about, butler, this dinner party?

Well, what's your area of special concern?

Well, where is he?

Well, where is it?

Well, who else knew about the secret passage?

Well, why should we believe you?

Well, you had the gun. If you didn't shoot him, who did?

Well, you paid the blackmail. How many husbands have you had?

Well, you tell them it's not true.

Were you assisting him to blackmail us?

Were you planning to blackmail him, Wadsworth?

What a godforsaken place.

What about you, Colonel, are you a real colonel?

What are they all doing here?

What are you all staring at?

What choice have we?

What could be more American than that?

What did he do for a living?

What did you do?

What difference does it make now?

What do you do, Professor?

What do you mean don't deny it?

What do you mean, "which of you did it"?

What do you mean, murder?

What do you propose to do about it?

What exactly do you do?

What if the authorities find out what happened?

What if we don't cooperate?

What kind of information did he have?

What now?

What room's this?

What sort of pictures are they?

What the hell.

What was he like?

What was your role in all this?

What we call psychotic.

What were you told, precisely?

What, the body?

What?

What?

What'd you have in mind, dear?

What's going on here?

What's going on in those two rooms?

What's the difference?

What's the phone number?

What's this for?

What's this, Wadsworth?

What's this?

What's your little secret?

What's your top secret job, Colonel?

When did it come to an end?

When did she kill Mr. Boddy?

When I said I was Mr. Boddy's butler,

When I said.

When my wife decided to end her life.

When the cook and Mr. Boddy were murdered,

When you've finished your call, perhaps you'd be good enough to wait here.

Where are we going?

Where are you going this time?

Where is the envelope now?

Where we found the motorist dead.

Where? Here.

Where's it coming from?

Where's the chief?

Where's the key?

Where's the key?

Which he said would only be opened over his dead body.

Which nobody can deny.

Which one of you did it?

Which two rooms?

Whichever one of us is left with the killer might get killed.

While we stood here,

While Yvette was screaming, don't you remember?

Who can guess what's in here?

Who cares? That guy doesn't matter.

Who else is in the house?

Who had access to the candlestick?

Who had the dagger, anyway?

Who killed him, and where, and with what!

Who now lies dead before us.

Who was Mrs. Peacock taking bribes from?

Who wasn't here with us?

Who would want to kill the cook?

Who?

Who?

Whoa!

Whoever has the gun

Whoever has the gun is the murderer.

Whoever it is, they've got to go away,

Whoever it was is the murderer.

Whoever killed Mr. Boddy also wanted his accomplices dead.

Whoever tried to grab the gun from me in the dark was trying to kill him.

Why are you shooting that thing at us?

Why did she do it?

Why did you do it?

Why did you invite us here to meet your late employer?

Why did you lock him in again?

Why didn't he just report us to the authorities?

Why has the car stopped?

Why is J. Edgar Hoover on your phone?

Why is that funny?

Why me? Do they know who I am?

Why not?

Why not?

Why not? It's only glass.

Why should the police come?

Why should the police come? Nobody's called them.

Why was the cook murdered? She had nothing to do with Mr. Boddy.

Why were you screaming in here all by yourself?

Why would anyone want to kill him twice?

Why would he want to kill you in public?

Why would I have murdered all the others?

Why?

Why?

Why? What did he do?

Will anyone go with me?

Will you shut up? We're doing our best.

Will you stop that?

With my disappearing nuclear physicist husband

With the murderer?

Within reason, that is.

Would anyone care for fruit or dessert?

Would I reveal to you how I did it?

Would you be kind enough to wait in the...

Would you care to come in?

Would you hold on, please?

Would you like to come this way please, sir?

Yeah, but I dropped it on the table.

Yeah?

Yeah? What about that motorist?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine.

Yes indeed, sir, you are expected, Colonel.

Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.

Yes, but you work for the United Nations. That's a government job.

Yes, I am.

Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette.

Yes, it's an integral part of your life when you're the wife of a...

Yes, please.

Yes!

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Bad luck that motorist arrived at that moment.

Yes. But I put it down.

Yes. It said so in the letter. But why?

Yes. She worked for me.

Yes. We have very little time left, so we'll split up into pairs.

Yes. Why do you think it's run by a man called Hoover?

Yes. You can show him the dining room,

Yes... No, why?

You ain't whistling Dixie.

You all had a motive.

You all seem to be very anxious about something.

You as a mere butler

You bastard!

You can show him around, Mr. Green.

You can't get out that way.

You cannot make an omelet without breaking eggs.

You do?

You don't expect us to believe that, do you?

You don't know what kind of people they have at the UN.

You don't need any help from me, sir.

You fired the gun in the dark, and missed,

You found it. You could've known about it all the time.

You had a letter, and you had a letter, and you had a letter.

You have your instructions?

You have? I can explain everything.

You hurried downstairs and turned off the electricity,

You killed the motorist when we split up to search the house.

You knew Yvette, too, didn't you?

You know that big ugly house...

You know what doctors aren't allowed to do with their lady patients?

You know you could've killed us.

You know.

You like Kipling, Miss Scarlet?

You locked me up with a murderer, you idiot!

You look. I'll search the kitchen.

You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies.

You made one fatal mistake.

You may use the one in the...

You mean...

You murdered them all.

You must be Mr. Green.

You recognized Yvette, didn't you?

You said, "Maybe it's poisoned."

You say you are used to being a hostess as part of your husband's work?

You see, it's like the Mounties.

You separated from Miss Scarlet,

You thought Mr. Boddy was dead. But why?

You told us at dinner

You took the key to the weapons cupboard out of my pocket,

You used her the way you always used her.

You were in no real danger.

You were the person who was missing

You will, or I'll expose you.

You, too, Mr. Boddy.

You'll find your names beside your places.

You'll have realized that nobody here is being addressed by their real name.

You'll never get away with this, any of you.

You'll never tell the police.

You're a bit late for that!

You're a bit late for that!

You're a communist!

You're a doctor?

You're alive.

You're all being blackmailed.

You're Mr. Boddy!

You're not gonna drive home, are you?

You're not gonna mention the coincidence

You're right!

You've all admitted how he's been able to blackmail you.

You've got blood on your hands.

You've no proof.

Your first husband also disappeared.

Your secrets,

Your were jealous that your husband was shtupping Yvette.

Yvette found them out for me.

Yvette hid in the study to check that Mr. Boddy was dead.

Yvette is a link between them.

Yvette, could you attend to the colonel and give him anything he requires.

Yvette, will you go and check that dinner will be ready

Yvette! The billiard room!

Yvette.

Aah! God! It's all right.

Aha! So it is true! A double negative.

All of us. It was given to you.

All very well for you to say that now. I said it then.

And it was you. Yes.

And to make a long story short... Too late!

Anyone of us could've done that. Precisely.

Are you going in there? Yes. Are you?

But it also means that you can't. What if you're the murderer?

Can you keep a secret? So can I. Yeah.

Certainly not. I was asking Miss Scarlet.

Certainly. What was the question? Ls there anybody else in the house?

Do you know? I do.

Don't touch it.

Either. Or both. Just give me a clear answer.

Five? Yes. Just the five.

Get on with it! I'm getting there, I'm getting there.

Good idea. Good idea.

Hello. Hello.

How did he die? I don't know!

How did you get in? The door was locked.

How do you do. Hello.

I buttle, sir. Which means what?

I know. Then unlock it.

I see. It's a free country. Don't you know that?

I thought I heard a gun. So did I.

I thought I heard the front door slam. God.

I will. I will.

I wonder where this one goes. Well, let's find out.

I'm going to open it. Why?

I've been shot. Come out. The door is open.

Is that the same gun? From the cupboard?

Is that true? No, it's not true.

is the murderer. Very well.

It must be the murderer! Why would he scream?

It's not Wadsworth! Is he alive?

J. Edgar Hoover? That's right.

Let's get on with it. Monsieur.

Look! What?

ls everything ready? Oui, monsieur.

ls there a little girl's room in the hall? Oui.oui. Madame.

Maybe he wasn't dead. He was!

Maybe it wasn't one of us! Who else could it have been?

Me, too. And me.

Me, too. Me, too.
