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]
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.
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:
Wonderful.
