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?
[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?

Miss Scarlet What was he like?

[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!
