Mysterious Circumstances and Dark Humor
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.
Col. Mustard
Then why are you paying the blackmailer?
Mrs. White
I don't want a scandal, do I? We had had a very humiliating public confrontation. He was deranged. 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.
Miss Scarlet
Oh. Was that his final word on the matter?
Mrs. White
Being killed is pretty final, wouldn't you say?
Wadsworth
And yet, he was the one who died, not you, Mrs. White, not you!
Miss Scarlet
What did he do for a living?
Mrs. White
He was a scientist. Nuclear physics.
Miss Scarlet
What was he like?
Mrs. White
He was always a rather stupidly optimistic man. I mean, I'm afraid it came as a great shock to him when he died, but, he was found dead at home. His head had been cut off, and so had his, uh, you *know*. I had been out all evening at the movies.
[Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum, and Mr. Green cross legs]
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
He wasn't a very good illusionist.
[admittedly]

Miscommunication in a Confined Space
Col. Mustard
Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there's nobody else in this house?
Wadsworth
Um... no.
Col. Mustard
Then there is someone else in this house?
Wadsworth
Sorry, I said "no" meaning "yes.
Col. Mustard
No" meaning "yes?" Look, I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn't there, yes, or no?
Wadsworth
No.
Col. Mustard
No there is, or no there isn't?
Wadsworth
Yes.
Mrs. White
PLEASE! Don't you think we should get that man out of the house before he finds out what's been going on here!
[Smashes glass on fireplace]
Miss Scarlet
Yeah!
Professor Plum
How can we throw him outside in this weather?
Miss Scarlet
If we let him stay in the house, he may get suspicious!
Professor Plum
If we throw him out, he may get even more suspicious!
Col. Mustard
If I were him, I'd be suspicious already!
Mrs. Peacock
Oh, who cares? That guy doesn't matter! Let him stay locked up for another half an hour. The police will be here by then... and there are two dead bodies in the study!
[hysterical]
All
Shhhhhhhhhhh!
Col. Mustard
Well, there is still some confusion as to whether or not there is anybody else in this house!
Wadsworth
I told you, there isn't.
Col. Mustard
There isn't any confusion, or there isn't anybody else?
Wadsworth
Either! Or both.
Col. Mustard
Just give me a clear answer!
Wadsworth
Certainly! What was the question?
[clears throat]
Col. Mustard
Is there anybody else in this house?
[shouting]
All
No!
