Quotes

Hercule Poirot : Nature gives to the quarry of the viper a chance to identify his attacker. If every killer was as clearly marked, I would be without a job.

Hercule Poirot : Précisément, mademoiselle.

Hercule Poirot : The mullet was excellent.
Major Barnes : Oh, glad you enjoyed it.
Hercule Poirot : Oh, yes. Where did you buy it?
Major Barnes : What do you mean? I had to go out a long way for that!
Hercule Poirot : No no no no, Major. Your interests are closer to the shore... The Italians, I notice, are strengthening their harbor defenses for military use?
Major Barnes : You're very sharp-eyed, Mr. Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : The sharp eyes are important in both our professions, Major.

Hercule Poirot : Mademoiselle Lyle!
[Pamela Lyle rushes towards him; looking utterly distressed]

[pause]
Hercule Poirot : I will come.
Hercule Poirot : [to the officer] I am a detective, not a spy.
