Quotes 

• Marie Van Schuyler : You accuse me now of murder?

  Bouc : Oh, no, he accuses everyone of murder.

  Hercule Poirot : It is a problem, I admit.

• Hercule Poirot : Mon ami, Bouc! Why would you fly a kite on the pyramids?

  Bouc : Because no one ever has! Thousands of years, right here, and I'm the first!

  Hercule Poirot : You are the first.

• Bouc : Of all the pyramids in all the world, you had to walk up to mine. What a small world.

• Bouc : I tried jobs. An office. I could manage the work, I just couldn't fathom mornings. But I've made ends meet as a kept man.

• Bouc : You did this to me?

  Euphemia Bouc : I'm your mother. I've done far worse.

• Bouc : Ah, the bereaved. There's one at every wedding party. The good Doctor Windlesham proposed to Miss Ridgeway when she was still Miss Ridgeway. He and the papers both had the deal as good as done. Then came the engorged stallion, and now it's Mrs. Doyle.

• Bouc : I thought Poirot was impervious to love's fever.

  Hercule Poirot : I was sick with it once. It left me with enough regret for a lifetime.

• Bouc : All my life, I never wanted to be anything to anyone but an amusement.

• Bouc : All the money in the world and she's in the freezer with the hams.

  Hercule Poirot : This is as much dignity as we can afford the dead in these circumstances.

• Bouc : Behind every kite-flying man, there is a woman.

• Bouc : Lucky devil. Fancy finding the one heiress without adenoids and flat feet.

• Euphemia Bouc : It's bad enough to be married for one lifetime. To be side by side for eternity is inhumane.

  Bouc : Why must you be so cynical, Mother?

  Euphemia Bouc : People build towers to love in song and stone as if cooing over a pair of dark eyes will save them from pain. If anything, it will double it.

• Bouc : You were a terrible friend, Poirot. Why did you have to teach me to be good?

• Bouc : We weren't close, just familiar. My parents considered her parents their equals, so we grew up at the same parties and wound up kissing each other's friends.
