Quotes 

• Japp : Ah, good morning. Mr Harry Lee, I presume?

  Harry : And who are you?

  Japp : Chief Inspector Japp, Scotland Yard.

  Harry : Brought in the big guns, have they?

• Hercule Poirot : Ah, chief inspector. You have been thinking again. I have warned you of this before.

  Japp : Oh, well.

• Japp : You've seen a ghost or something, Poirot?

  Hercule Poirot : Chief inspector, I might just have done precisely that.

• Japp : What are you doing here, Poirot?

  Hercule Poirot : I have come to rescue you, mon ami.

• Japp : Very violent sort of blokes, these Africans.

  Hercule Poirot : Europeans do not figure too badly in the arts of violence, Chief Inspector.

• Japp : What are these bloomin' things, Poirot?

  Hercule Poirot : Ah. Now these are the miniature gardens of Madame Alfred Lee.

  Japp : What's the point of havin' a miniature garden? I mean, you can't do anything with it, can you? You can't take a deck chair out and sit it in.

• Japp : Ah, but it gives you the creeps - this place, doesn't it?

  Hercule Poirot : You are too sensitive, mon ami.

  Japp : That's true.
