WADSWORTH:
(calmly, as always)
Ah. Dinner.
GREEN:
(hands Peacock his glass, starts to mop her up as she clucks)
I'm sorry . . . I'm a little accident-prone . . .
23 -- INT. GROUND FLOOR--THE HALL -- 23
The guests cross to the Dining Room.
24 -- INT. GROUND FLOOR--DINING ROOM -- 24
The dining room is elegant, in similar decor to the Hall, but it is
somewhat more comfortable.
However, the room is still small.
At one end, there is a door and a metal partition, both leading to the kitchen.
The guests file in.
WADSWORTH:
You'll find your names beside your places. Please be seated.
The guests, except for Col. Mustard, find their places and sit.
Wadsworth sets Miss Scarlet's drink on the table, to her pleasure.
MUSTARD:
(indicating the head of the table)
Is this place for you?
WADSWORTH:
Oh, indeed, no, sir. I'm merely a humble butler.
MUSTARD:
And what exactly do you do?
WADSWORTH:
I buttle, sir.
MUSTARD:
Which means what?
WADSWORTH:
The butler is head of the kitchen and dining room.
I keep everything . . . tidy. That's all.
Col. Mustard attempts to continue but is interrupted by Mrs. Peacock.
PEACOCK:
Well, what's all this about, butler; this dinner party?
WADSWORTH:
"Ours is not to reason why . . . Ours is but to do and die"
PLUM:
"Die"?
WADSWORTH:
(smiling)
Merely quoting, sir, from Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
MUSTARD:
(now seated next to Miss Scarlet)
Hm. I prefer Kipling, myself.
"The female of the species is more deadly than the male."
(to Scarlet)
You like Kipling, Miss Scarlet?
SCARLET:
Sure, I'll eat anything.
Yvette enters carrying a tray.
YVETTE:
(to Peacock)
Sharks' Fin Soup, Madame.
MUSTARD:
(again indicating head)
So is this for our host?
WADSWORTH:
No, sir. For the seventh guest, Mr. Boddy.
WHITE:
I thought Mr. Boddy was our host?
The guests all concur.
WHITE:
So who is our host, Mr. Wadsworth?
Wadsworth chuckles with a closed smile.
PLUM:
Well, I want to start, while it's still hot.
PEACOCK:
Oh, now shouldn't we wait for the other guest?
YVETTE:
I will keep somesing warm for eem.
SCARLET:
What did you have in mind, dear?
Silence.
Prof. Plum slurps soup from his spoon.
Mrs. White disapproves, then does the same.
Mustard, Scarlet, and Green stare at them, spoons poised near mouths.
They do it again.
Silence.
PEACOCK:
(breathlessly)
Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me.
I mean, I'm used to being a hostess; it's part of my husband's work,
and it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet together
for the first time to get acquainted, so I'm perfectly prepared to start
the ball rolling . . . I mean, I have absolutely no idea what we're doing
here, or what I'm doing here, or what this place is about, but I am
determined to enjoy myself and I'm very intrigued and oh, my, this
soup's delicious isn't it?
