- Hercule Poirot: Meantime Lord Edgware stands in the way of these romantic dreams.
- Lady Edgware: Yeah. 'Course, if we were in Chicago, I could get him bumped off quite easily but you don't seem to run to gunmen over here.
- Hercule Poirot: No, Madame. Here we consider human beings have a right to live. Even husbands.
- Hercule Poirot: Why are you so anxious to get rid of Lord Edgware?
- Lady Edgware: 'Cos I want to get married again.
- Captain Hastings: Surely a divorce is the thing to go for. It's as easy as buying a pound of tea nowadays.
- Lady Edgware: You don't have to be so rough - you might at least consider my appearance.
- Inspector Japp: Appearances, my dear lady, are definitely against you.
