Margaret Opalsen
- Margaret Opalsen: I bet you'd guessed who'd stolen the pearls by the second interval, Monsieur Poirot.
- Hercule Poirot: Not at all, Madame, it was a question that ceased to occupy my mind long before the first.
- Ed Opalsen: That bloody little man set me up?
- Margaret Opalsen: It's your own fault. You were using him.
- Ed Opalsen: But darling, what about the pearls?
- Margaret Opalsen: Don't worry. That bloody little man got them back.
- [first lines]
- Ed Opalsen: Ladies and gentlemen. When the Russian actress and dancer Natalya Dolzhenko made Salomé in 1908, she wore a necklace made of magnificent pearls given to her by the czar. Last week, at an auction in Paris, I paid three hundred thousand francs for that same pearl necklace. My wife is going to show it to you now.
- [Margaret Opalsen steps up onto the stage and removes her stole, revealing the necklace]
- Margaret Opalsen: Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, our new play premières here, at your beautiful theatre, next week, prior to a six month tour of America.
- Ed Opalsen: Yes, Margaret is taking the leading part. And she will be wearing the czar's pearls at each and every performance.
- Guest: Mr Opalsen! Don't the pearls get stolen in the course of the play.
- Ed Opalsen: Yes they do, but that's in the play. They'll be under guard twenty-four hours a day. I think I can promise you that they're not going anywhere.
