Hugh Lombard : Drop dead!
Det. William Henry Blore : That's not funny.
-
Ilona Bergen : How utterly marvelous! You all came to a house party without knowing your host!
Hugh Lombard : Well, what about you, Miss Bergen?
Ilona Bergen : Darling, it happens to me all the time!

Mike Raven : [At the dinner table] Now how does that old song go?
General Mandrake : My dear sir, what old song?
Mike Raven : Well, you know sir, uh, the old nursery rhyme. "The ten little Indians". There's a copy of the rhyme hanging on the wall in my room upstairs.
Hugh Lombard : That's funny. There's a copy in my room, too.
Ann Clyde : And mine.
Mike Raven : Well then, who's with it? Who's got the first line?
Ann Clyde : Ten little Indians went out to dine, / One choked his little self, and then there were nine.
Mike Raven : That's it. Strictly nurseryville. Then what happened?
Ilona Bergen : Nine little Indians, staying up quite late, / One went away, and then there were eight.
Ann Clyde : There's a copy of the song on the piano in the lounge, too. Mr. Owen seems very interested in little Indians.
Mike Raven : [Scene moves to the lounge. Raven is at the piano, while the General is playing bridge with Miss Bergen, Judge Cannon, and Doctor Armstrong] Eight little Indians travelin' to Heaven, / One met a pussycat, then there were seven. / / Seven little Indians choppin' up sticks, / The chopper finished one of them, and then there were six. / / Six little Indians playin' with the hive, / A bumblebee stung one, and then there were five. / / Five little Indians goin' in for law, / One got Chancery and then there were four. / / Four little Indians feelin' all at sea, / A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three. / / Three little Indians walkin' in the zoo, / A big bear hugged one, then there were two. / / Two little Indians sittin' in the sun, / One gets all frizzled up, then there was one.
Ilona Bergen : [General Mandrake slams something on the table] It's alright, General. He's down to his last little Indian.
General Mandrake : Thank God for that.
Mike Raven : One little Indian boy left all alone, /
[holding his finger to his lips]
Mike Raven : Shh... / So he went out and hanged himself, and then there were none.
General Mandrake : And now, sir, will you be good enough to cease that infernal noise?
Mike Raven : My public - bless them!
General Mandrake : [returning to the game of bridge and bidding] One no trump.

Hugh Lombard : SPOILER:
[last lines]
Hugh Lombard : Why did you trust me ?
Ann Clyde : Why did *you* trust me ?
[staring deep into Hugh's eyes]
Hugh Lombard : Maybe it's because of this...
[kisses Ann passionately]

Hugh Lombard : In the first place, I don't want to get killed. In the second place, I sure as hell don't want to get bumped off for someone else!
