Verdoux maintains his cynicism in the ensuing trial and later before his execution, declaring that he will see the Judge, jury and all present "soon - very soon" (i.e., in hell) and "One murder makes a villain; millions, a hero. Numbers sanctify, my good fellow" claiming the actions of war profiteers and soldiers kill far more, but unlike his are lauded. The movie ends as Verdoux - after having a last drink of rum; initially refusing, he then comments that he's never tried it and proceeds to do so - is lead off to the guillotine.

* BornLucky: All of Henri's attempts to kill Annabelle fail because of this: her elderly maid, which she fired earlier that day, happens to return right when he's about to drug Annabelle with chloroform since she has no other place to stay, and later, after Annabelle rehires her because she feels bad for her, she happens to break the peroxide bottle that Henri used to store his untraceable poison in and replace it with an identical one she happens to find in an overhead cabinet when he's trying to find a corkscrew, causing Henri to pour it instead of the poison into the wine, and later, when he's out at a lake with Annabelle and first tries and fails to drug her, he then tries to drown her by looping a noose with a rock attached to it around her neck which she doesn't resist since he claims it's a method to catch fish...only for a massive number of yodelers to pop out of nowhere right when he's about to finish tightening the noose.

* MercyKill: Possibly. When talking about the deaths of his wife and child, Verdoux would only say "they were in a better place (ie. Heaven)". But given that he was willing to kill to support them, it is not improbable that he could be capable of killing them if he could no longer support them, as in his view he would be saving them from the streets or the mercy of the state, and he had the means to do it, through the poison that leaves no pain or trace. True, it was never made explicit that he did, but then all the murders in this film, except for the detective, took place off screen anyway.
