Hercule Poirot : This Gervase Chevenix, it does not occur to him that Poirot is also a man of importance, a man of affairs? And yet he summons me like a mere nobody, an obedient dog!
Captain Hastings : I take it you'll refuse?
Hercule Poirot : To refuse, yes, it is my first instinct. But, you know, Hastings, a man with so much arrogance as this, even he may be vulnerable in ways he cannot see.
Captain Hastings : And he did offer you that mirror.
Hercule Poirot : That too.
Captain Hastings : I'll get the tickets tomorrow.

Chief Inspector Japp : Ah, there you are Poirot... you got any idea how I can get hold of this Saffra ? Some sort of friend of Mrs. Chevenix.
Captain Hastings : Saffra's dead... she's Vanda's spirit guide.
Chief Inspector Japp : Ah... I might as well be off then.

Auctioneer : Forty pounds.
Captain Hastings : How high will you go?
Hercule Poirot : Ninety pounds.
Auctioneer : Fifty pounds.
Hercule Poirot : It will be enough.
