Zoë Wanamaker: Ariadne Oliver

Quotes 

• Ariadne Oliver : Robin Upward was in the clear. He and I were working all day on that wretched dramatisation. Now he wants Sven having sex in a sauna. Sven has never had sex in his life. You don't know how I suffer.

  Hercule Poirot : Oui, I too suffer. The cooking of Madame Summerhayes, it is beyond description, well, it is not cooking at all, and the currents of cold air, the long hairs of the dogs, the chairs, the terrible, terrible bed in which I try to sleep, and the coffee - words can not describe you the fluid they serve you as coffee.

• Ariadne Oliver : [Arriving by car to meet Poirot]  Hello there! Not late, am I? We said 4 o'clock, didn't we?

  Hercule Poirot : I believe we said 3 o'clock, madam.

  Ariadne Oliver : Oh, well... never mind.
