Red herring
While describing how Professor Shellcrest is excited about the murder mystery, Brennan has Shellcrest say "I would love to be the murderer, or at least the red herring" MM E7·00:49:26. Brennan then voices a red herring standing next to them who says "Hey, watch it, buddy!" MM E7·00:49:31 MM E7·00:49:33. The red herring also says "Everybody always fucking suspects." MM E7·00:49:47.
In MM_07 "the red herring" is both a phrase used by Shellcrest, who says "or at least the red herring", and a character Brennan voices next to them MM E7·00:49:26 MM E7·00:49:33. In MM_10 Buckster asks the police to "seize at once that red herring", and all heads turn to the red herring in the room MM E10·00:11:33 MM E10·00:11:50. The red herring does a spit take and says "Not again!" MM E10·00:12:01. Brennan says both constables club the red herring MM E10·00:12:10. The red herring says "I am an innocent fish, this keeps happening! I should never have come to this dinner party!" MM E10·00:12:27.
