Quotes 

• Chief Inspector Japp : [Looking into cell where Poirot is being held]  Vicious-looking character, isn't he?

  Sergeant : He hasn't been any trouble.

  Chief Inspector Japp : No, he's too clever for that. We've waited to get our hands on him for months.

  Sergeant : Apart from not giving a name. What is his name?

  Hercule Poirot : This is not funny, Japp.

  Chief Inspector Japp : Well, nobody knows his real name. But everyone calls him Mad Dog.

• [last lines] 

  Chief Inspector Japp : [watching Hasting's model boat sail]  Did you ever think of going to sea, Poirot?

  Hercule Poirot : No no, my friend, this is as close as I like to get.

  Chief Inspector Japp : I used to dream about the sea.
