- Hastings: A lot of golfers are very gastronomic, you know, Poirot. Nothing like eighteen holes to build up an appetite. You really ought to try it, you know; you might find you actually enjoy it.
- Hercule Poirot: To hit a little ball into the little hole, in the middle of a large open field - I think it is not to the taste of Poirot.
- Giraud: Monsieur Poirot.
- Hercule Poirot: Monsieur Giraud.
- Giraud: [hands over his pipe for losing to Poirot] This is yours, I think.
- Hercule Poirot: No, monsieur. You may keep your pipe. But from this moment, each time you light, it you'll think of Hercule Poirot.
- Giraud: Yes, I will.
- Giraud: Oh, for heaven's sake, Poirot, do you think Jack Renauld kidnapped his stepfather?
- Hercule Poirot: I think the thoughts of Hercule Poirot, Monsieur, are far beyond your comprehension.
- Hastings: I thought I might go for a swim before breakfast tomorrow, Poirot.
- Hercule Poirot: That is a madness that, Hastings and suffered only by the English!
