- Hercule Poirot: Thank you very much, Hastings. It would appear that skill plays but a little part in this game, hein?
- Captain Hastings: It's all about skill. What to buy and when. Where to put your property.
- Hercule Poirot: The Americans always put the month before the day, Hastings.
- Captain Hastings: Ah!
- Hercule Poirot: Yes, they're very backward people.
- Hercule Poirot: [Playing Monopoly] I will build a hotel on Fenchurch Street.
- Captain Hastings: You can't build a hotel on a railway station.

- Hercule Poirot: Well, then, Hastings, the rules are wrong.
