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.

[after catching Mrs. Peacock in the second ending]
Wadsworth: You see, like the Mounties. We always get our man!
Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man?!
[Colonel Mustard and Wadsworth each slap him]
Wadsworth: Would anyone care for fruit or dessert?

[In the third ending]
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 draws the gun]
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!
[Wadsworth grins and laughs]
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.
[he draws a revolver, and shoots Wadsworth; Wadsworth drops his gun]
Wadsworth: Oh, good shot, Green!
[slumps to the floor, reaches a hand inside his coat, and looks at the blood on his fingers] And very good.

Mrs. White: Are you a cop?
Mr. Green: No, I'm a plant.
Ms. Scarlet: A plant? I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.
Mr. Green: Very funny.
[displays a badge in his wallet] FBI. That call from J. Edgar Hoover was for me.
[heads to the front door] I told you I didn't do it!
[he opens the front door and the police rush in]
Chief: All right, who done it?
[Mustard, White, Scarlet, Peacock and Plum all start arguing.]
Mr. Green: They
all did it! But if you wanna know who killed Mr. Boddy, I did, in the hall, with the revolver. Okay, Chief, take 'em away. I'm gonna go home and sleep with my wife.
