Quotes
-
Miss Lemon : This lady keeps telephoning, Mr. Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : Sacré. What a terrible circumstance.
Miss Lemon : There's no need to be sarcastic, Mr. Poirot. I was going on to say that I didn't put her through to you, because she wouldn't give her name.
Hercule Poirot : Ah.
Miss Lemon : I told her you don't take anonymous phone-calls.
Hercule Poirot : But I do, Miss Lemon. Sometimes I think anonymous telephone calls are the only ones worth taking.
Miss Lemon : But how will I know where to file her if I haven't got a name?
Hercule Poirot : Life first, Ms. Lemon, filing second.
Miss Lemon : Very well then.
[Hastings huffs in amusement]
Miss Lemon : Next time she calls, I'll let her talk to you. And on your own head be it.
Captain Hastings : You shouldn't tease her, Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : She makes it irresistible.
