Mrs. Peacock: Uh, is there a little girl's room in the hall?::Yvette: Oui oui, Madame. [points]::Mrs. Peacock: No, I just wanna powder my nose.

Wadsworth: [nasally] No.::All: [imitating him] No?::Wadsworth: No.

Wadsworth: Do come in, Madam. You are expected.::Mrs. White: Do you know who I am?::Wadsworth: Only that you are to be known as Mrs. White.::Mrs. White: Yes. It said so in the letter. But why?

Mr. Green: Well, where is he?::[Miss Scarlet screams as the freezer door opens and Wadsworth falls out. Mr. Green catches Wadsworth, then drops him disgustedly]

Wadsworth: Mrs. White, you've been paying our friend, the blackmailer, ever since your husband died under, shall we say, mysterious circumstances?::Miss Scarlet: Ah! [laughs]::Mrs. White: Why is that funny?::Miss Scarlet: I see! That's why he was lying on his back, in his coffin.::Mrs. White: I didn't kill him.::Colonel Mustard: Then why are you paying the blackmailer?::Mrs. White: I dont want a scandal, do I? We had had a very humiliating public confrontation. He was deranged. He was [points to head] a lunatic! He didn't actually seem to like me very much; he had threatened to kill me in public.::Miss Scarlet: Why would he wanna kill you in public?::Wadsworth: I think she meant he threatened, in public, to kill her. [rolls eyes]::Miss Scarlet: Oh.

His head had been cut off, and so had his, uh... you *know*.::[Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and Mr. Green cross legs]::Mrs. White: I had been out all evening at the movies.::Miss Scarlet: Do you miss him?::Mrs. White: Well, it's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead, I have a life.::Wadsworth: But, he was your second husband. Your first husband also disappeared.::Mrs. White: But that was his job. He was an illusionist.::Wadsworth: But he never reappeared!::Mrs. White: [admittedly] He wasn't a very good illusionist.

Mrs. White: [after Mrs. Peacock swears that the reason she's being blackmailed is a vicious lie] Well, I am willing to believe you. I, too, am being blackmailed for something I didn't do.::Mr. Green: Me too.::Colonel Mustard: And me.::Miss Scarlet: Not me.::Wadsworth: [surprised] You're *not* being blackmailed?::Miss Scarlet: Oh, I'm being blackmailed all right, but I did what I'm being blackmailed for.::Mr. Green: What did you do?::Miss Scarlet: Well, to be perfectly frank, I run a specialized hotel and a telephone service which provides gentlemen with the company of a young lady, for a short while.::Professor Plum: Oh yeah?::[pulls out pen and a pad of paper]::Professor Plum: What's the phone number?

Wadsworth: You see? Like the Mounties, we always get our man.::Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man?::[Colonel Mustard slaps Mr. Green, who turns to get slapped by Wadsworth]

Mr. Green: [after Mrs. White knees Mr. Boddy in the crotch] Was that necessary, Mrs. White?

Colonel Mustard: Is this place for you?::Wadsworth: Indeed no, sir. I'm merely a humble butler.::Colonel Mustard: What exactly do you do?::Wadsworth: I buttle, sir.::Colonel Mustard: Which means what?::Wadsworth: The butler is head of the kitchen and dining room. I keep everything tidy.
