Milady
I don't believe you've suffered the burden of chastity.
Cardinal Richelieu
Perhaps you're right.
Milady
I was making an observation, not an offer.
Cardinal Richelieu
A word of caution, Milady. A snap of my fingers and you could be back on the block where I found you!
Milady
And with a flick of my wrist... I could ].

Who hired this crew?! This is without a doubt, the seediest bunch of cutthroats, villains, and scoundrels I have ever seen! So, who hired em?! Your finger hired the crew?
[Later, in his cabin; whimpers with a pant. Jim, Rizzo, Gonzo, the rest of The Muppets, and officers point at Trelawney, who in turn points at his finger]

A cook, and a guy who lives in a bear's finger?
[stunned]
Captain Smollett

Power Struggles and Betrayal in France
King Louis
You have failed!
Cardinal Richelieu
You are so naive. But things couldn't have gone more perfectly if I'd planned them myself. The King of France dies at the hands of his own personal guards! Grief-stricken, terrified, the huddled masses turn for comfort to their devout spiritual leader... who, ever so humbly, assumes the throne... with a queen by his side.
[laughs; heads to throne dais; hands together in prayer, then sits on the throne; flays cape across queen's throne]
Queen Anne
I would rather die.
Richelieu
That can be arranged!
[kicks stool and stands up]

A Clash of Alliances and Promises
Cardinal Richelieu
You're too late, Musketeers! By now, the Duke of Buckingham's signature is next to mine! The alliance is complete!
Athos
That would be difficult... considering the treaty never left France!
[holds up the treaty document]
Cardinal Richelieu
A minor problem. I will return twice as strong, and the throne will be mine!!
[tries not to react]
Aramis
I think not! You will never harm another soul ever again. My promise to God!
[as he fights off the Cardinal's men aboard; facing the Cardinal]
King Louis
Wait.
[blocks Aramis; Richelieu smiles but the king punches him into the water]

Confrontation Between Jim and Silver
Jim Hawkins
Silver!
Long John Silver
I suppose you'll be blowing the whistle on me now, won't you, Jim?
Jim Hawkins
I suppose I will. You have to return to Bristol to stand trial.
[raising his whistle]
Long John Silver
Oh, I'm sorry, Jim. I got a terrible fear of hanging. We're shipmates, aren't we, Jim? Gentlemen of fortune, together. Give us one more chance? Oh, hell, Jim. I could never harm you. You're honest and brave and true. You didn't learn that from me.
[aims his pistol at him; Jim does not drop his whistle. After a long pause, he lowers his pistol; changing his heart]
Jim Hawkins
I learned it from my friends, Mr. Silver. Now take your oars and row away. I never want to see you again, ever.
Long John Silver
Oh, Jim? Tis a shame, really. We'd have made a great team, Jim.
[begins to row away, but stops; throws Jim back his compass and rows off]

Accusations Fly Over Mysterious Shooting
Professor Plum
It must've been Mr. Green who shot the singing telegram!
Mr. Green
I didn't do it!
Col. Mustard
Well, there's nobody else left!
Mr. Green
But I didn't do it! The gun is missing! Whoever's got the gun shot the girl!
Wadsworth
I shot her.
Col. Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Ms. Scarlet, Prof. Plum
You?!
Mr. Green
So it was you. I was going to expose you.
Wadsworth
I know. So I choose to expose myself.
Col. Mustard
Please! There are ladies present.
Wadsworth
You thought Mr. Boddy was dead, but why? None of you even met him until tonight.
Mr. Green
You're Mr. Boddy!
Prof. Plum
Wait a minute! So who did I kill?
Wadsworth
My butler.
Prof. Plum
Oh, shucks.
Wadsworth
He was expendable, like all of you. I'm grateful to you all for disposing of my network of spies and informers. Saved me a lot of trouble. Now there's no evidence against me.
Mrs. White
This all has nothing to do with my disappearing nuclear physicist husband or Colonel Mustard's work on the new top secret fusion bomb?
Wadsworth
No. Communism is just a red herring.
Mr. Green
But the police will be here any minute. You'll never get away with this, any of you.
Wadsworth
Why should the police come? Nobody's called them.
Mrs. Peacock
You mean-- Oh, my God! Of course!
Wadsworth
So why shouldn't we get away with it? We'll stack the bodies in the cellar, lock it, leave quietly one at a time, and forget that any of this ever happened.
Mr. Green
And you'll just- just go on blackmailing us all.
Wadsworth
Of course. Why not?
Mr. Green
Well, I'll tell you why not.
Wadsworth
Oh, good shot, Green! And very good.
[slumps to the floor, reaches a hand inside his coat, and looks at the blood on his fingers; He dies]

Navigating Choices in Uncertain Terrain
Monroe
This, as they say, is a fork in the road. We could go left or we could go right. If we go the wrong way, we lose two or three days.
Herkermer Homolka
We must follow the gorilla, where she leads.
Monroe
That would be left.
Dr. Karen Ross
My best guess off my last coordinates was this way.
Monroe
That'd be right.
Amy
Amy, Peter, go this way.
Dr. Karen Ross
Well... I don't have her passion. I'll follow the gorilla.

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!

Unexpected Discovery in the Jungle Expedition
Dr. Peter Elliot
Good Lord.
[coming across a crashed plane]
Monroe
It's that plane we saw burning in the sky.
Herkermer Homolka
Who were they?
Dr. Karen Ross
Travis, my boss, he thought I wasn't gonna make it. He sent another expedition.
Monroe
He tried to push away too far. Looks like a rocket got them. No point going in there.
Dr. Karen Ross
My God, what a waste of life.
