Chief Inspector Japp : If there was to be any rough stuff, I don't know as Mr. Poirot'd be the first person I'd think of. Brainwork, yes. Rough stuff, dubious.

Hercule Poirot : Ah, you are too kind, Chief Inspector Japp. Your great heart will be your downfall.
Chief Inspector Japp : True. True.

Chief Inspector Japp : We see a hundred of these every day, Mr. Waverly. If we was to go chasing about after every one...
Hercule Poirot : A hundred, Chief inspector?
Chief Inspector Japp : Well, perhaps not a hundred. Mustn't be too literal, Mr. Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : Every day?
Chief Inspector Japp : Every week, anyway.

Chief Inspector Japp : As you so rightly point out, you are paying me to exercise my judgement and discretion as to what is a serious threat to public order and what is not, and this is not.
Marcus Waverly : Your superior shall hear of this.
Chief Inspector Japp : I hope he enjoys it as much as I have.

Marcus Waverly : Johnnie will be in here with me, with, perhaps, you here, by the window.
Chief Inspector Japp : Good.
Marcus Waverly : And Poirot guarding the door into the hall.
Chief Inspector Japp : Ah, I don't know about that, sir. If there was to be any rough stuff, I don't know as Mr. Poirot is the first person I'd think of. Brain work, yes. Rough stuff, dubious.
Marcus Waverly : What about his colleague, Hastings?
Chief Inspector Japp : Mmm, that'd be more like it, sir.
