Mr. Boddy opens the game.

Miss Scarlet lists her performance abilities: “I do it all—or so that's what my men friends tell me.”

“Green's the name. Money's my game.”

“From here it's all or none for murder one.” Mr. Boddy, Mrs. White, Col. Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, Prof. Plum, and Miss Scarlet.

Mrs. White tells her woes as a cook and housekeeper: “Life is a bowl of pits.”

Mr. Boddy turns on the lights with a gesture as Mr. Green prepares to shoot pool.

Col. Mustard revives his old passion for Mrs. Peacock by playing The Storming of Normandy—despite protests from the “plastic vertebrae” in his back.

Mr. Boddy keeps an eye on the proceedings.

Miss Scarlet and Mr. Green renew old acquaintance from their days in Las Vegas.

Mrs. White suggests that she and Prof. Plum meet after she gets off work.

Prof. Plum plots with a rope.

Mrs. Peacock recounts her five previous husbands, all dead under mysterious circumstances.

As the suspects hunt through the house for Mr. Boddy, Col. Mustard tries crawling across stage.

The Detective, displaying the weapons she has collected, states: “With my highly-advanced laptop crime detection system, I was able to ascertain that all of your fingerprints appear on all of the items.”

Scrambling to explain their having touched the various weapons, the suspects comment: “Wrench and pipe, knife and rope—every one's a clue, and any grisly gadget would most definitely do.”

Prof. Plum tries seduction via quotations: “As Somerset Maugham said, 'The mind is most free when the body is satiated with pleasure.'”

Col. Mustard offers to trade his medals for the Detective's exoneration.

Mr. Green tries to bribe the Detective with some of his big-time swindle proceeds.

The women offer their alibis.

The three men wonder whom the Detective will finger.

Finally, the piano player emerges from the shadows, complaining that he has been relegated to “the most demeaning of all positions.”

The playing pieces celebrate another successful game.
