        Wadsworth: [shouting] That’s what we’re trying to find out! We’re trying to find out who killed him, and where, and with what!
        Professor Plum: There’s no need to shout!
        Wadsworth: [shouting louder] I’m not shouting!
        [Guests stare at him pointedly]
        Wadsworth: [shouting] All right, I am! I’m shouting, I’m shouting, I’m shout…
        [candlestick falls from above and hits him on the head]

          Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.

          Professor Plum: Yes, but now I work for the government.

          Wadsworth: So your work hasn’t changed.
