- Hastings: We're still as much in love as the day we met.
- Poirot: When, if I remember correctly, you thought her to be guilty of murder, n'est-ce pas?
- Hastings: Yes, well, since then I think I've learned what makes women tick.
- Poirot: Ah, yes. The ticking of the women. It has always been a mystery to Poirot.
- Chief Inspector Japp: It's funny, you know. Here we are, the four of us, all together again. But, of course, there's one thing missing.
- Miss Lemon: What's that?
- Chief Inspector Japp: The body. That's how we normally meet.
- Poirot: No, but it is true.
- Chief Inspector Japp: Oh, well, never mind, Poirot. As soon as word gets round you're back, I'm sure one will turn up.
- Bryan Martin: I know her, you see. She's terribly sweet on the surface. But she would kill as easily as drink her morning tea, believe me.
