'''Wadsworth:''' Mrs. White, no man in his right mind would ''ever'' be alone together with you.

'''Mrs.
'''Colonel Mustard:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Yep. Two corpses. Everything's fine]].
* Miss Scarlet's and Mrs. White's vocal and facial expressions while trying to lift The Cook's body onto the couch.
* And this moment:
--> '''Colonel Mustard:''' How did you know that?\\
'''Wadsworth:''' Can you keep a secret?\\
'''Colonel Mustard:''' ''(leaning in)'' Yes.
* 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. Green, Green opts to spill his secrets himself to try and 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!"
* This exchange between Colonel Mustard and Mrs. White re: Mustard's incriminating photographs:
-->
'''Mrs. White:''' Well, that would have been quite an achievement, since you've told us that she's dead already!
* Colonel Mustard's original explanation of his wealth.
--> I came into money after the war when I lost my [[ManChild mommy and daddy.]]
* One of the earliest funny gags: the Cook bangs the gong to summon the guests for dinner, resulting in Mr. Green splashing his champagne all over Mrs. Peacock. (Assuming the audience didn't react to the JumpScare themselves.)
* Another Mrs. Peacock moment: during Wadsworth's madcap summation, when he comes to the Cop's arrival the doorbell actually rings. (It's the Jehovah's Witness.) After everyone stares for a few moments, Mrs. Peacock cries ([[{{Hypocrite}} even as she goes to answer it]]), "Oh, whoever it is, they've got to go away or they'll be killed!"
** 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 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.
* 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 thud like she's a sheet being spread out, 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.
* At the start of the movie when Wadsworth introduces himself to Colonel Mustard.
-->'''Colonel Mustard:''' Who are you?\\
'''Wadsworth:''' I'm the butler, sir.\\
'''Colonel Mustard:''' And what do you do?\\
'''Wadsworth:''' I buttle, sir.
* When the Guests hear a scream from the Billiards Room;
-->'''Prof. Plum:''' It must be the murderer!\\
'''Mr. Green:''' Why would ''he'' scream?\\
'''Mrs. White:''' He must have a victim in there. ''(understated and subtly distressed)'' Oh my God, Yvette!\\
'''Mr. Green''', ''([[LargeHam extremely over-the-top and panicked]])'': ''Oh my God!''
* When the corpse of the very hefty Mrs. Ho falls into Mr. Green's arms, he quickly sags under the weight.
-->'''Mr. Green:''' ''I didn't do it!'' Somebody help please. ''Somebody help me please.''
