Clue Lines Professor Plum

PEACOCK: How can I find anything if I don't even know what I'm looking for!

"Civilized society is perpetually menaced with disintegration through this primary hostility of men towards one another."

Peacock: A dagger...

A Revolver...

White:who?

A branch of the United Nations Organization The World Health Organization.

Enter Kitchen (First line)

As far as I can tell ,the Cooks not here.

PEACOCK. I suppose you're right .

C'mon, let's go upstairs.

Wadsworth: We'll meet you in the Study.

Adlib: Lovely door great door, Good your backe

Wadsworth:until you'd received your letters..... is mr boddy himself

And who are you his henchman you pompuos british butler.

Peacock: Well, if I wasn't trying to keep the conversation going, then we would just be sitting here in an embarrassed silence.

Are you afraid of Silence mrs. Peacock

White: Maybe he wasn't dead.

He was!

Boddy:... Ill have no need to increase your blackmail or expose you to the police.

Get rid of?

Wadsworth: That's right! I did! I do! I don't! The key is gone!

Gone?!

PEACOCK. Your fancy words don't intimidate me, Professor!

I take no credit Mrs.Peacock. Frued I think he's onto something.

White: We should have made sure.

I thought I had!

Boddy: How do you do?

I thought millionares were supooseed to be good looking you swine!

Mustard: Not to beat a dead horse, but, again, I feel like having all the keys is really--

I thought you said you'd throw away the to the safe, Wadsworth!

White: Nothing.

Nothing?

Mustard: I make a good living

Oh, out with it, Wadsworth!

MUSTARD: Let's move the corpses to the couch so they look less dead.

Some party this is turning out to be.

Boddy: ... I think some of you would face a lifetime of jail, and others, a lifetime of shame.

Somebody get the briefcase!

Peacock: If you didn't, who did?

Somebody grabbed it from my hand, and the next thing I knew there was a shot!

White: Who would do such a thing?

Takes a lotta guts to kill someone twice.

WHITE. He didn't look like a killer.

Takes one to know one.

WADSWORTH Colonel, you hold a sensitive security post in The pentagon. Those "negatives" would most certainly compromise your position.

and what positon exactly were you caught in colonel

WHITE. I don't want another scandal, do I?

another

Wadsworth: The police are coming in less than an hour!

exxcuse me?!

Scarlet: There's a murderer on the loose! Please get us out of here!!

Theres no alternative. I'm just gonna have to break down the door. Stand Back! I'm a Doctor!

Wadsworth:After you.

This is quite an impressive Library

WADSWORTH. This makes two.

Two what?

Wadsworth: Now listen... we haven't much time. Our task is twofold. ONE: Find the evidence! TWO: Find the murderer!

We've got one potential suspect contained in the lounge- but that leaves the whole rest of this place up for grabs. Who knows what's behind all these doors.

Scarlet: My, my, this really is a party.

Well greetings all its a pleasure for you to see me Ooh Cocktail Hour.

Green: How should I know?

Well, if he's not here- then where is he?

Yvette: For more evidence, of course! When Wadsworth revealed your secrets in ze Study, zey were all recorded.

What a snake! I've got to destroy them! Where are the tapes?

Scarlet: Oh, I'm being blackmailed, all right. But I did what I'm being blackmailed for.

What did you do?

Green: But why?!

What's the difference?

Boddy: Well, there is something else you could do for me that would change the game. Something I just can't bear to do myself.

What?!

Wadsworth: This isn't a game!

You! The lead pipe belonged to you!

Boddy: Why do you think he's called the police?

You called the police?

Yvette: Only ze Cook.

ZE COOK

Wadsworth: Good lord, let him up!

You really oughta learn to speak up for yourself Mr. Green.

Wadsworth: There is one more piece of information you may like to have.

what?!

WADSWORTH: "It will be to your advantage to be present on this date because a Mr. Boddy will bring to end a certain long standing confidential and painful financial liability."

yep thats what it says

WADSWORTH: Professor Plum

right.

Wadsworth: Can I interest any of you in fruit or dessert?

(ALL)NO!

Green: But I dropped it while we were running to the kitchen!

People don't just drop murder weapons!

White: Do you practice?

Not anymore. I currently work for the government.

Wadsworth: Impossible! I have the key! No I haven't! It's gone!

All:Gone?!

Yvette:Ze zafe.It was unlocked!

All:Unlocked

White:Ah,Another politician.

Not exactly I do research for UNO WHO.

Mustard: What body?

Boddys body!

Scarlet: Depends on who you ask.

But if this boddy fella is such a nobel civilian himself why didn't he report us to the authorities

MUSTARD: Yes! We'll split up into pairs. That way none of us will be alone.

But if we split up into pairs, whichever one of us is paired with the killer might get killed!

Yvette: But I don't want extra time! I want ze police to arrive! I am trapped in zis house wiz a murderer!

But once the police get here,the rest of us are doomed.

Wadsworth: My task this evening is to expose your secrets to each other rendering you all culpable in each others' indiscretions.

But we hardly know each other

WADSWORTH: I would.

But what if the killer is outside?

Wadsworth: You would never!

But why make us do it Boddy?! Why don't you do your dirty work yourself?

Wadsworth: I'm not suggesting we go outside. I'm suggesting we stay inside,but throw the key away.

But you'd have to open the door, wouldn't you?

Green: Oh, sorry. Sorry. I'm a bit clumsy, I suppose.

Dinner? That was more like a cocktail minute.

Wadsworth: Appetizers in the lounge. After you.

Hors d'oeuvres. Good. I'm starving.

Yvette: I heard you in ze study -- one of you is ze killer!

How could you hear us in "ze" study?

Green: Well, don't look at me! I didn't do it!

I already said it wasn't me!

Scarlet: That's what you said the last time.

I believe in second chances.

White: Who had the gun?

I did.

Peacock: In the Study. Any one of us could have picked it up.

I didn't do this one either!

Peacock: So you shot him!

I didn't!

Green: Well, if the bullet's over there, then how did he die over here?

I don't know! I'm not a forensics expert.

WADSWORTH: Professor Plum

If you say so.

Scarlet: "It's not true."

Is that true?

Peacock: Yes. No. Why?

In my professional opinion, it seems you suffer from what we call "pressure of speech."

White: Are you a doctor, Professor?

In psychological medicine.

Scarlet: I don't see a safe.

Is that an original Trumbull, Mr. Wadsworth?

Mustard: Well, if it wasn't you, who was it? Who had the Dagger?

It was Mrs.Peacock!

Scarlet: ... the rope, the Revolver, the Candlestick,the Wrench- and- hey, wheres the lead pipe?

It's Mr. Boddy!

PEACOCK. Now is not the time for academic pursuits! We're supposed to find the evidence!

It's a fruitless search, if you ask me. I mean, it's not like we're just gonna walk into a room and find evidence plastered on the wall

Wadsworth: How was your drive?

It's a long haul.

Scarlet/Mustard: HELP! HELP! MURDER! MURDER!

LET US IN LET US IN!

Wadsworth: There's no way out!

Locked?!

Peacock: I need a drink.

Maybe Mr.Boddy was poisoned by the brandy!

Scarlet: Don't look at me! All I got was a candlestick!

Maybe it wasn't one of us!

Mustard: Is there anyone else in the house?

No!

Mustard: Riiiight. There's nobody in the Study.

No!!!

Wadsworth: What are you all staring at?

Nobody.

Wadsworth: Good evening.

Please arrive at 7:30 sharp on Saturday evening. Well, here I am.

MUSTARD. Let's add "finding the key to the lounge" to our priority list.

Say Frenchy-- Where did you get that gun anyway?

Wadsworth: Makes a difference to us! We've got to find out who killed him, where and with what!

Seems like it was probably the lead pipe.

Wadsworth: Not if it's publicly declared.

So it's true!

Wadsworth:...One of you must have snatched the keys from my pocket when we were searching the house.

So whoever took the keys, is the killer.

Green: Ugh, he's so bloody!

Stand Back! He's Dead.

Scarlet: Is he breathing?!

Stand back, I'm a doctor! He's dead.

Scarlet: Cool it, Butler! While you lose your marbles, I'm over here trying to do something useful! Have you all forgotten about the evidence against us?

The Evidence!

Peacock: What are we doing?

The acoustic coupling between the door and the glass allow for sound waves to travel from one side to the other.

Enter study(First Line)

The body's gone!

Green: I work in Washington.

Washington? So you must be a politician's wife, Mrs. Peacock?

Boddy: Unless...

Unless what?!

Boddy: I wouldn't have to double your payments if I didn't have to pay Mr. Wadsworth for his silence.

Wadsworth?!

Scarlet: Well, someone had to stop her screaming.

Was the brandy poisoned?

Yvette: I was listening! I have a tape recorder in the billiard room connected to the study! Monsieur Boddy asked me to tape-record your conversation.

Why would he ask you do that?!

WADSWORTH. It says here you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in pathological lying lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Yes but now i work for the u.s. government

GREEN: Better out than in!

Yes! We'd want to keep him outside, wouldn't we? If we open the door we risk letting him back in.

Mustard: I have a sister who was a gymnast.

You are a real colonel, aren't you?
