History Funny / Clue

** Later in the film, dealing with Boddy:
--->'''Mrs. White:''' Maybe he wasn't dead.\\
'''Professor Plum:''' He was!\\
'''Mrs. White:''' We should've made sure.\\
'''Mrs. Peacock:''' How? By cutting his head off, I suppose.\\
'''Mrs. White:''' ''(annoyed)'' That was uncalled for!

* And of course, Wadsworth accusing Mrs. White of killing Yvette in the third ending:
-->'''Wadsworth:''' While ''I'' was in the Master Bedroom, you hurried downstairs and turned off the electricity, got the rope from the open cupboard, and throttled Yvette. You ''were'' jealous that your husband was schtupping Yvette. That's why you killed ''him'', too!\\
'''Mrs. White:''' Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much... (''starts stammering'') it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames...on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing...
::[[ThrowItIn The actress had forgotten her lines]] and was ad-libbing. The looks of utter bewilderment on everyone else's faces were real.

'''Professor Plum:''' You don't know what kind of people they have at the UN, I might go up in their estimation.

* During Wadsworth's big "I've got it!" moment where he's leading the other guests around the house, he grabs Mrs. White's hand to lead her up the stairs. As he's pulling her up after him, she slips out of his hand and flops to the stairs with a comical *thud*, which goes completely unnoticed by Wadsworth. It's made even funnier by the fact that the camera completely ignores this as well and continues to follow Wadsworth up the stairs.

::[[ThrowItIn The actress had forgotten her lines]] and was ad-libbing. The looks of utter bewilderment on everyone else's faces were real.

--> I came into money after the war when I lost my [[IWantMyMommy mommy and daddy.]]

** After [[spoiler: Mr. Boddy's body disappears]], Miss Scarlet remarks that, "Maybe there is such a thing as life after death." Mrs White's response?
--->'''Mrs. White:''' Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage.

'''Mrs. White''': Mine or other women's?\\

'''Mrs. White:''' Yes. Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her, so much... (''starts stammering'') it-it- the f - it -flam - flames. Flames...on the side of my face, breathing-breathl- heaving breaths. Heaving breaths... Heathing...

-->'''Wadsworth:''' While ''I'' was in the Master Bedroom, you hurried downstairs and turned off the electricity, got the rope from the open cupboard, and throttled Yvette. You ''were' jealous that your husband was schtupping Yvette. That's why you killed ''him'', too!\\

** For that matter, the actual arrival of the Cop. After the doorbell rings, Miss Scarlet actually suggests (despite all the cars outside and all the lights blazing in the house) that "maybe if they stay quiet, they'll just go away." Then, when Mr. Green demands the key (because he has nothing to hide since "I didn't do it!"), he opens the door, sees the Cop...and slams the door in his face.

** And then they end up paired up by the drawing of the straws to search the house.

'''Yvette:''' Oui oui, Madame.\\

-->'''Wadsworth''': Don't you remember your fatal mistake? You told us all at dinner that we were eating one of your favorite recipes! And [[{{Squick}} monkey's brains]], though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C.!\\

'''Prof. Plum''': Aw, shucks.

*** Mr. Green is (possibly) homosexual, so it makes sense that he doesn't leap at the chance to be alone with the busty French maid...

* The desperation in Mr. Green as he attempts to prevent the cop from discovering all the corpses, from his ridiculous CaptainObvious tour of the house, to his ObfuscatingStupidity in feigning ignorance of which rooms the cop is talking about (made funnier if you take the third ending into account--[[spoiler:he's a real cop going through ridiculous antics to prevent the sting from being ruined]]), culminating in his reactions to what they discover in the study and the lounge. Michael [=McKean=]'s expressions have to be seen to be believed. "Because... because it's ''all too shocking''!"

'''Mrs. White:''' It's a great trick!

'''Mrs. White:''' Well, that would have been quite an achievement, since you've told us that she's dead already!

* Colonel Mustard's investigation of the kitchen culminates in him opening a closet, suspecting a body or the murderer or anything, diving his head forward to make sure nothing escapes him... only to get bonked on the head by a pull-out counter.

'''Colonel Mustard:''' Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine.

* Early in the movie, Wadsworth shares everyone's secrets, written down on pages of notes, which are the reasons Mr. Boddy was blackmailing them in the first place. When he comes to Mr. Greene, Greene opts to spill his secrets himself to try an preserve some dignity, including his homosexuality. Wadsworth rifles through his notes with a stunned look on his face, as if to say, "I didn't have ''that'' on here!"

'''Wadsworth:''' Sorry, I said [[NoExceptYes "no" meaning "yes."]]\\

'''Wadsworth:''' So can I. ''(turns away)''
