Jean-Louis Ferraud : I would like you to meet my two sons.
Hercule Poirot : Your two son...
Jean-Louis Ferraud : This is Henri.
Hercule Poirot : Henri.
Jean-Louis Ferraud : And this brave fellow is Hercule.
Hercule Poirot : Hercule! You are indeed fortunate to have such fine sons. Henri, he has a look of someone, yes? No, perhaps I am wrong. Non, I am right; Hercule also, there is a definite resemblance to someone I know.
Jean-Louis Ferraud : My wife, perhaps.
Hercule Poirot : Virginie!
Virginie Mesnard : Hello, Hercule.
Hercule Poirot : Bonsoir, Madame Ferraud. I was just saying to Jean-Louis that he was always the most fortunate of men.

[Hercule Poirot has just discovered a man is in his apartment, searching for something and has chased him out of the building. The man - M. Beaujeu is gasping for breath and is clinging to the side of a car]

Gaston Beaujeu : [as Jean-Louis loosed his tie so he can breathe and Virginie takes off his hat so he can cool off; weakly] My heart, Poirot... Pills... in the coat pocket...
Hercule Poirot : [while he finds something suspicious about the bottle; calmly] Don't worry, Monsieur... We'll get you to a hospital.

Hercule Poirot : Tell me, monsieur, have you ever had any disagreements with your employer?
Francois : Of what?
