Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Hercule Poirot : It is satisfying, is it not, Chief Inspector, in a case, when at last one knows everything.

  Chief Inspector Japp : I thought you knew everything anyway, Poirot.

  Hercule Poirot : Well...

  [Miss Lemon and Hastings arrive carrying ice cream cones] 

  Hercule Poirot : Ah.

  Miss Lemon : There's one for you, Chief Inspector.

  Chief Inspector Japp : Ah, thank you.

  Miss Lemon : None for Mister Poirot because I read an article on the train how ice cream was extremely bad for the little grey cells.

  Captain Hastings : And two for me because mine are dead already.

  [Japp laughs] 

  Hercule Poirot : They are very amusing, are they not, Chief Inspector? The sea air obviously agrees with them. I think perhaps, when I return to London, I shall leave them here.

  [Japp laughs, and Hastings hands one of his cones to Poirot] 

  Hercule Poirot : Thank you. Santé!
