Hercule Poirot
- [last lines]
- Hercule Poirot: I am learning, Hastings. It is more English, yes, the humbleness? So, I am learning. I shall be the most humble person in the world. No one will match Hercule Poirot for his humbility.
- Hercule Poirot: You think it is wrong, Hastings, to enjoy the compliments, or the 'buttering,' as you say?
- Captain Hastings: No, but, uh, do you have to show it quite so much? Not English.
- Hercule Poirot: Perhaps it is Belgian. Hastings, why should I be the hypocrite, to blush when I am praised, and to say like you, "It is nothing." Hmph! I have the order, the method, and the psychology. There, I admit it. I am the best. I am Hercule Poirot.
- Colonel Curtiss: [commenting on Poirot's presence at a murder scene] I think it's a godsend. I mean, you're a detective.
- Hercule Poirot: I am THE detective, Colonel Curtiss.
- Hercule Poirot: Chief Inspector Japp, I must ask you to trust me as you have never trusted me before.
- Chief Inspector Japp: Here we go.
- Captain Hastings: I didn't know you were so keen on opera, Poirot.
- Hercule Poirot: Generally, mon ami, I am not. But the Rigoletto: The father who is jealous. His daughter, she is dishonored, so he plans the murder parfait, but he has failed to understand the psychology. The result: catastrophe! That is what interests me.
- Captain Hastings: Well, it does have a couple of good tunes, I suppose.
- Lady Chatterton: You're not dancing, Monsieur Poirot.
- Hercule Poirot: Oh, no, no, no, Lady Chatterton. This music is for the young people with the limbs that are supple.
- Hercule Poirot: Did you mark about his scar, Hastings?
- Captain Hastings: Yes. You probably need one to be a member here.
- Lady Chatterton: I was there when you solved the Chalfont Diamonds case. I was one of the suspects. It was so thrilling, and I have to say, Monsieur Poirot, you were magnificent!
- Hercule Poirot: Yes.
