Watch the film with subtitles on and you can pick up a lot. When I watched this growing up I found it funny but now as a adult it is that much more enjoyablecause now I can get a lot of the comedic devices used in the film.

I want to be able to answer a question with, "Maybe some deranged dry cleaner?"
Sometimes when someone in my family needs to go to the bathroom, he or she says, "Im going down the hall to find the can. I talk so much sometimes I forget to go."
And last night while watching Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, my dad asked, "You know how to whistle, don't you?" So I replied, "Sure, what do you mean?" And my brother finished with, "Nevermind. Forget it. You ruined it."
I love my family, you guys. -

I love the fact that fellow fans of films such as MBD and Clue nearly always have the same taste in other films. Dead Men dont wear plaid is another of my favourites but when I mention it to other people all I get is blank looks.
You're lucky to have a family with that same (fantastic
) taste in films, mine have perfected the eye rolling withering look everytime I enthusiastically quote Clue, MBD etc!
"I'm almost annoyed!" -

"You know you shouldn't speak with an accent when you know I am so hungry."
"Okay, we'll work in shiftsyou look over the first dead naked body that we find, and I'll look over the next one."
"I have taken the liberty of putting you in the same wing as Mr. Wang.
Isn't that nice darling, we're in Wang's wing."
"This entire murder has been catered."
"My chauffeur was hit by a falling gargoyle while standing in Chinese footprints." -

This is one of my favorite movies; better than Clue IMO. Also check out The Cheap Detective for more of Peter Falk's excellent Bogart shtick.
I've occasionally used this one on my son:
"Questions like Athelete's Foot. After while very irritating." -

"Sorry if im shocking you ma'am but i didnt have a chance to go to finishing school, my schools the streets and looking down the barrel of a pointed revolver thats my teacher"
Must admit i have tried to shoe horn that quote in many convo's followed by very slow nods and strange looks
And of course the classic from dotty old bird Estelle Winwood
"Jesus H Christ"
Use that one all the time. -

Lines I've actually used a lot in real life:
"Jesus H. Christ!"
"Oh that's tackythat's
reeeeally
tacky"
"Getting to bottom of things?"
"Well, I'm old, I can't help it"
But the one I used to use most often, in broad English accent, "I'm not one to use hyperbole ladies and gentlemen, but I tell you, this whole thing has scared the
caca
right out of me" (actually I think that's not quite right, I haven't seen the movie in awhile, ha ha)
Nilbog! It's goblin spelled backwards! This is their kingdom! -

I would love to use the line "Let's face it as a man your barely passible but as a woman your a dog!" but I think that could get me seriously hurt. I do like Maggie Smith's "tacky" line, I am always trying to say it like she dose.
