Captain Hastings
- Captain Hastings: [referring to marriage] You ever thought about it?
- Hercule Poirot: In my experience, I have known of five cases of women murdered by their devoted husbands.
- Captain Hastings: Yes?
- Hercule Poirot: And twenty-two husbands murdered by their devoted wives. So thank you, non. The marriage, it is not for me.
- Captain Hastings: So why did you go back into the house?
- Mr Johnstone: The call of nature, if you must know.
- Captain Hastings: Were there any witnesses?
- Hercule Poirot: One can always tell when the summer, it is arrived.
- Captain Hastings: It's in the air, eh?
- Hercule Poirot: No, Hastings, it is in the speed of your driving!
- Hercule Poirot: When was this last robbery?
- Captain Hastings: Three days ago.
- Hercule Poirot: Three days! But it is too late. It is better to strike while the metal is warm, yes?
- Chief Inspector Japp: So what do you think, Poirot?
- Hercule Poirot: I think that it is strange. The glove and the cigarette case, it is as you might say the double clue.
- Captain Hastings: Twice as much for us to work on.
- Hercule Poirot: It is too much, Hastings, too much.
- Captain Hastings: Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
- Hercule Poirot: If you are to be Hercule Poirot, you must think of everything.
- Captain Hastings: Suppose he, uh... Poirot and the countess...
- Miss Lemon: He wouldn't... Would he?
- Captain Hastings: I don't know. I've never seen him like this before.
