Clue: The Movie Progressive Dialogue

[Frostbyte]

The little flurry of quotes in the "Are you gay" thread gave me an idea to start a progressive movie line thread.

Rules: You can only quote one line from one character (until another character has a line) until the next time you're on the forums. If someone misses a line, quote them with the embedded quote feature, and correct the thread with the right line.

I'll start us off... let's see how long it takes to get through the whole movie:)



Wadsworth: "Is everything ready?"

[Jay Beeskow]

The Cook: Dinner will be ready at 7:30.

[Michael]

Wadsworth: "Is everything ready?"

Yvette:
Oui, Monsieur.

[Jay Beeskow]

Oh shucks, I got it mixed up. I need to watch Clue again...

[Lord Caspen]

(As the dogs approach and threaten to tear him apart)

WADSWORTH. No!

Maybe we should include the action, too?

(He drops something -- his coat, I think -- and they nip at that for a while, and then glare at him, daring him to make a move. He unrolls a brown paper bag in his hand, and from it draws two thick -- what are they? ribs? -- and tosses them across the patio. Immediately, the dogs fly after the treats, leaving the door unguarded. He rolls up the bag, sets his jaw in a way to suggest "Game, set, and match," and hurries to the place where the chains are lashed to the wall. He unfastens their chains, pulls through a considerable length of chain to shorten them, and refastens. This is when he goes back, gets his coat, smiles back at the dogs in triumph, takes one step to the doors, and realizes he's stepped in it. He carefully looks over his shoe sole, and delivers a scathing look back to the dogs, who are politely interested in him, now that he's their friend. He gives them a cold shoulder, and proceeds to the front door.)

(Inside, the front door opens, and the song "Shake, Rattle, and Roll," is heard from another room. Wadsworth turns to wipe excrement from his sole, then walks inside. He puts away his hat and coat in a closet, slides his umbrella into a stand, and closes the front door. He walks into the room, hands folded behind his back.)

SUPERIMPOSED CAPTION. New England / 1954

(The music is louder inside the library, since it plays from the library radio. Yvette is here, dancing and cleaning champagne glasses. Enter Wadsworth from the hall, unnoticed. He goes directly to the radio and switches it off. Yvette -- startled -- stops dancing. He approaches her, all business.)

Wadsworth. "Is everything ready?"

Yvette. Oui, Monsieur.

[Frostbyte]

Maybe we should include the action, too?

That is a neat idea Caspen, but I don't think most of us have time or patience to do that every time =P

Wadsworth: Is everything ready?
Yvette: Oui, Monsieur.
Wadsworth: You have your, um, instructions?

[Lord Caspen]

Wadsworth. Is everything ready?
Yvette. Oui, Monsieur.
Wadsworth. You have your, um, instructions?

Wadsworth. Everything all right, Mrs. Ho?

[Michael]

Mrs. Ho:
Dinner will be ready at seven thirty.

[Lord Caspen]

Wadsworth. Good evening.

[Michael]

[point of order! - We can't forget Senator Joseph McCarthy: Professors and teachers, who are getting their orders from Moscow...]

Wadsworth. Good evening.

Colonel Mustard:
Good Evening! I don't know if...

[Lord Caspen]

Wadsworth. Yes, indeed, sir. You are expected, Colonel. May I take your coat? It is Colonel Mustard, isn't it?

[Frostbyte]

Col. Mustard: No, that's not my name. My name is Colonel....

[Lord Caspen]

WADSWORTH. Let me, sir. But I think you will feel obliged to my employer this evening, for the use of an alias.

[Lord Caspen]

(Are we going to keep this going?)

[Michael]

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm not sure of the next line...

Is it:

Colonel Mustard:
And who are you, sir?

[MrsWhiteinthestudy]

just glanced at the script, your correct michael, and to keep the ball rolling
the next line is:

WADSWORTH: I'm Wadsworth, sir. The butler.

[Lord Caspen]

WADSWORTH. Yvette. Will you attend to the Colonel, and give him anything he requires? ... Within reason, that is.

[PrinceAzure33]

Mustard: Oh, Wadsworth, I...

[Michael]

Ching Ching... Ching Ching...

[Lord Caspen]

WADSWORTH. Do come in, madam. You are expected.
