:24:01
My second husband said
always to ask for change in dollars
:24:02
in the face of multiple
and intolerable bereavements!
:24:03
or at worst, sterling.
:24:05
So for Pete's sake,
what's a drachma?
:24:06
I would have understood his action
:24:07
It is... What do you call it...?
The currency...
:24:08
if, in addition to the D.S.O. And M.C.,
he had been awarded the V.C.
:24:10
My second husband also said,
"Take a book of food tickets, Mama,
:24:13
"and you'll have no problem,
no problem at all."
:24:14
Which stands, as you may know,
for Victoria Cross
:24:15
That just isn't so.
:24:17
First there's this ten-percent tip. Five
would've done the steward more...
:24:17
and is awarded for valor.
:24:19
I think Miss Ohlsson has a headache.
:24:20
Then, in my opinion,
:24:20
Would you forgive us if we went back
to the compartment, Mrs. Hubbard?
:24:22
Ratchett deserved what he got.
:24:23
Gladly, if you must.
:24:24
If you need aspirin,
I always carry it on my person.
:24:25
Though I'd sooner have seen him
properly tried by jury.
:24:27
I mistrust foreign drugs.
:24:29
You must excuse me,
Mrs. Hubbard is upon us.
:24:29
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
:24:33
What's the matter with him?
Train-sick or something?
:24:36
Some of us, in the words of the divine
Greta Garbo, "want to be alone".
:24:38
We believe the murder
was committed at 1:15.
:24:42
What were you doing then?
:24:44
I was yarning with young...
What's his name?
:24:47
McQueen, in his compartment.
:24:49
He was interested in the future
of India, a bit impractical.
:24:50
And for dinner this evening?
:24:52
He thought the British
ought to move out.
:24:52
You will have the goodness
to serve me the poached sole
:24:55
How long did you stay yarning
after that?
:24:56
with one new potato
:24:58
and a small green salad
with no dressing. Hildegarde.
:24:58
Till 1:30. It's...
:25:02
It's what I call a three-pipe yarn.
:25:03
Who was that majestic lady?
:25:05
- The Princess Dragomiroff.
- I have heard.
:25:06
Colonel Arbuthnott, you are the only
passenger in the Calais coach
:25:10
who smokes a "pipe".
:25:14
- So it would appear.
- Then this...
:25:17
...must be your "pipe" cleaner.
:25:21
- It's the same brand.
- It was found in an ashtray
:25:24
by the dead man's bedside.
:25:25
Pardon me, sir.
:25:26
Then someone planted it there.
It's a used "pipe" cleaner.
:25:26
I wonder if you could
oblige me with a light.
:25:29
Certainly.
:25:31
Thank you.
My name is Ratchett.
:25:31
Or are you suggesting
that I'm fool enough
:25:33
to have entered Ratchett's cabin,
murdered him,
:25:33
Do I have the pleasure of speaking
to Mr. Hercule Poirot?
:25:36
cleaned my "pipe" and dropped it
in the ashtray before leaving?
:25:36
The pleasure possibly, Mr. Ratchett,
the intention certainly.
:25:39
You asked me for a light.
:25:40
No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
:25:41
I offered you one,
and you have not used it.
:25:43
Miss Debenham.
:25:43
One can deduce that without
acute mental exhaustion.
:25:47
- Can I stay?
- No, Colonel Arbuthnott.
:25:47
That's wonderful. Sit down, sir.
:25:49
- For a moment.
- Just for a moment.
:25:51
Thank you very much.
:25:54
Well, Mr. Poirot.
:25:55
Please be seated.
:25:56
- Poirot.
- How's that?
:25:58
- Poirot.
- Oh, Poirot. Right.
