    Quote of the Dasy?! As always, “Clue” is one of my favorite movies and Madeline Kahn is beyond great in it.

  • Jim

    That’s one plus two plus *one* plus one.

  • a.ham

    Agreed. I think “Clue” is a woefully underrated movie (being based on a board game and all).

  • Ben

    This is my favorite movie and one of my favorite quotations from an already quotation full script! Love it!

  • MovieFan

    Yay! Clue! Am I the only one that arranges the weapons in the rooms used in the film every time I play the game?

  • shar

    Hah! Over my dead body.

    Colonel Mustard: Who would want to kill the cook?
    Miss Scarlet: Dinner wasn’t THAT bad…

  • Craiger

    Mr. Green: So it was you. I was going to expose you.
    Wadsworth: I know. So I choose to expose myself.
    Colonel Mustard: Please, there are ladies present!

  • Stephanie

    Man, what a FANTASTIC clip! That made my day, already!!

  • Ceballos

    Wadsworth: “To make a long story short…”
    Everyone: “Too late!”
    GREAT movie.

  • Lynny

    Quote of the millenium- my favorite moment in one of the funniest movies I ever saw. My sister and I would watch it over and over.

  • Catherine

    Wadsworth: I’m not shouting! Alright I am. I’m shouting, I’m shouting, I’m shou-

  • Tenna

    I love you guys for making this a quote of the day. This movie will always be one of my favorites.
    “I’m the butler.”
    “And what exactly do you do?”
    “I buttle, sir.”

  • Allison

    Wadsworth: How many husbands have you had?
    Mrs. White: Mine or other womens’?

    Wadsworth: But, he was your second husband. Your first husband also disappeared.
    Mrs. White: But that was his job. He was an illusionist.
    Wadsworth: But he never reappeared!
    Mrs. White: He wasn’t a very good illusionist.
    One of my all time favorite movies. It’s like comfort food.

  • DancerDC

    The best quote from my favorite cult movie – thanks, EW!

  • Kathleen

    Oh my god shut up! I was just doing this last night, after wondering aloud what in the sam hill was wrong with me that I did not own “Clue” on DVD.

  • kel

    just watched this movie the other night! mr. body’s body! it’s missing!

  • Ellipsian

    Ha! For the last ten or so years, my friends and I have dropped this line at seemingly every opportunity; it’s one of our absolute favorite movie quotes and has totally become one of those inside joke/bonding things that friends do. Love it!

  • Devin

    This is always the quote that comes to mind first when I think of this movie. Madeline Kahn’s botched delivery is flawless! I remember watching this movie on Comedy Central all the time. It’s definitely underrated.

  • Krista

    My absolute favorite quote from that movie! Madeline Kahn was amazing.

  • Christine

    My favorite movie ever!!! Actually, I just watched it this weekend with my husband who hasn’t seen it nearly as many times.

  • Sarah M

    So glad to see there are other people besides me that go a little nutty for this movie. So quotable. One of my favorites (besides this one, of course) from Mrs. White: Husbands should be like Kleenex – soft, strong, and disposable.

  • Celimene

    “Communism was just a red herring.” God, I love Clue. So many great lines, so many reasons to adore the movie.

  • Raven_Moon

    I LOVE “Clue!” Madeline Kahn was brilliant in that film.

  • Kelmar

    Glad to see so many Clue-philes here! This is one of the most quotable movies ever!
    “Are you afraid of a fate worse than death?”
    “No, just death. Isn’t that enough?”

  • Matthew L

    Possibly my favourite comedy scene – just watching that YouTube video had me laughing hysterically. Coincidentally, I was telling a friend at work about the film yesterday, and today brought the DVD in for her to watch. And then I find this post.
