"Poirot" Hercule Poirot's Christmas (TV Episode 1994) - David Suchet as Hercule Poirot

Simeon Lee : My family hate me, you know.

Hercule Poirot : It is not hard to see why.
Superintendent Sugden : [referring to the missing diamonds] They definitely only were missing, but only two people could have done it, and one of them might have done it as a joke.

Hercule Poirot : I have yet to meet anybody in this household that has even the most rudimentary sense of humor.
Simeon Lee : You don't look very tough.

Hercule Poirot : Hercule Poirot is a detective not a bodyguard, monsieur.
Hercule Poirot : Ah, chief inspector. You have been thinking again. I have warned you of this before.

Japp : Oh, well.
Japp : You've seen a ghost or something, Poirot?

Hercule Poirot : Chief inspector, I might just have done precisely that.
Japp : What are you doing here, Poirot?

Hercule Poirot : I have come to rescue you, mon ami.
Simeon Lee : [Telephone rings] Hercule Poirot?

Hercule Poirot : Yes, it is I Hercule Poirot who speaks.
Japp : Very violent sort of blokes, these Africans.

Hercule Poirot : Europeans do not figure too badly in the arts of violence, Chief Inspector.
Japp : What are these bloomin' things, Poirot?

Hercule Poirot : Ah. Now these are the miniature gardens of Madame Alfred Lee.

Japp : What's the point of havin' a miniature garden? I mean, you can't do anything with it, can you? You can't take a deck chair out and sit it in.
Japp : Ah, but it gives you the creeps - this place, doesn't it?

Hercule Poirot : You are too sensitive, mon ami.

Japp : That's true.
