“Professor Plum, in the conservatory, with a rope,” he replied.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive.”
“Only fools are positive,” she quipped.
“Are you sure?” he asked.
She shrugged, “I’m not sure of anything.”

She’s savvy. I like that it started out as a classic ‘who dunnit’ idea with the Clue game beginning and then moved right to a clever interaction!
