- Max Mallowan: Better make that eight for dinner, Fellowes, and let Agatha know.
- Fellowes: Yes, sir.
- Max Mallowan: And get a shovel to clear the path.
- Fellowes: Yes, sir.
- Max Mallowan: And do we have enough coal?
- Fellowes: Yes, sir. Three bags full, sir.
- Constable Stalker: How did you get the limp, sir? If you don't mind me asking.
- Inspector Stoppard: Ahhh... in the war. Got shot in the italian alps.
- Constable Stalker: Hmmm. Sounds painful.
- Commissioner Harrold Scott: Listen to me, Stalker. No one is ever going to take you seriously as a police officer if you act like a tea lady.
- Mervyn Cocker-Norris: No flashbacks! They are crass, lazy and they interrupt the flow of the story. In my opinion, they are the last refuge of a moribund imagination.
- Agatha Christie: I'm afraid it goes against everything I hold dear in life. I'm a writer, you see. I can't be told what to write or what not to write. It would be a denial of one's freedom.
