Quotes 

• Captain Hastings : I can assure you, Poirot, you wouldn't be seasick on the Queen Mary. Steady as a rock.

  Hercule Poirot : Hastings, it is twenty years ago that I came to this country in a boat across the channel. And still I am not recovered.

• [last lines] 

  Hercule Poirot : You still have the hankering for the glamorous young woman, hein?

  Captain Hastings : No, no no, no, not at all, no. Quite the opposite, in fact. It's just that, well, there she was, as you say, a glamorous young woman, and with a bit of a wig and a few bits of make-up she could transform herself into that dowdy hag of a nurse.

  Hercule Poirot : Yes, it was indeed very well done, Hastings.

  Captain Hastings : But... Well, I mean... If a woman can do that one way, she can do it the other.

  Hercule Poirot : Oh, Hastings.

  Captain Hastings : Well, I mean then where are you?

  Hercule Poirot : At the beginning of wisdom, mon ami. Now, that also is something to celebrate, n'est-ce pas?

• Captain Hastings : The Queen Mary? Poirot, you're going too far.

  Hercule Poirot : No, Hasting, I'm going nowhere. Even to contemplate such a matter gives me the mal de mare.
