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.
