Hercule Poirot : You see, it troubles you also, my dear doctor, that the glass, it is poured, it is perfect in every way, and yet I choose not to drink. I wait, and this troubles you.
Dr. Peter Lord : What are you thinking?
Hercule Poirot : About action that is uncompleted. Action that is suspended. Like this. Pouring without drinking. And yet, surely, once it is poured, it will be drunk, eh? But, no. And it is the same here for crime. It can be like this also.

Mrs. Welman : Now, look here, doctor, I've said this before. In any civilized country, I'd just say I wanted to end it all and you would finish me off with some nice, painless drug.
Dr. Peter Lord : Well, I'm not sure I wish to be hanged just yet. Now, you're doing so well. Leave me all your money, I might reconsider, if you like.
