Quotes
-
Miss Mary Debenham : I'm sleeping here where everyone can see me. And I can see everyone.
-
Gerhard Hardman : I would prefer, in the future, to sit not with that man. Like should be seated with like. We are not alike.
Miss Mary Debenham : Not all of us are so concerned with the separateness of races, Professor.
Gerhard Hardman : It is out of respect for all kinds that I prefer to keep them separate. To mix your red wine and the white would be to ruin them both.
Miss Mary Debenham : [Miss Debenham does just that] I like a good rosé!
-
Bouc : [Offering champagne to the guests in the dining car] Compliments of the Orient Express.
Miss Mary Debenham : Thank you, Mr. Bouc.
Bouc : I am here for... all of your needs.
Pilar Estravados : No, thank you. I do not drink.
Bouc : [whispers] It does not agree with you?
Pilar Estravados : Sin does not agree with me. Vice is where the devil finds his darlings.
Bouc : [smiles politely before walking away from the table] We should no longer speak.
-
Miss Mary Debenham : To a man with a hammer, every problem is a nail. You live crime. You see evil every day.
Hercule Poirot : Not so. I see enough crime to know that the criminal act is the anomaly. I believe it takes a fracture of the soul to murder another human being.
-
Miss Mary Debenham : [recognizes Poirot on a boat] I know your mustache... from the papers. You're the detective, Hercules Poirot?
Hercule Poirot : *Hercule* Poirot. I do not slay the lions.
-
Hector MacQueen : How long are we supposed to just sit here?
Miss Mary Debenham : Yes, someone must be doing something.
Bouc : Of course I am doing something. I am doing nothing.
-
Hercule Poirot : You come from Baghdad?
Miss Mary Debenham : It's true. No detail escapes his notice!
Hercule Poirot : [points in her purse] Your ticket.
[Debenham politely closes her purse]
Hercule Poirot : I might also ask you if you enjoyed your time there - as a governess? The chalk on your sleeve and the Geography Primer. A governess or a cartographer.
[Debenham chuckles]
Hercule Poirot : I made my gamble.
Miss Mary Debenham : I always begin them with geography and monster them until the have the world down cold. They may get lost in math; but, I'll be damned if they don't know where they are.
-
Hercule Poirot : Human nature is perverse in its complexity - to plumb it, it takes the right tools.
Miss Mary Debenham : [says cynically] These are toys, not tools, Hercule. I prefer you put them away.
