[Poirot, Mrs. Oliver, Col. Hughes and Supt. Wheeler enter the room where Shaitana is sleeping in a chair, while the other guests are playing bridge]

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
Mr. Shaitana? It's about time we'd be going. Mr. Shaitana?

[pause; he looks at Mr. Shaitana's face]

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
I'm damned if he has fallen asleep.

[He notices a handle of a stiletto knife sticking out of Mr. Shaitana's vest. He gets up and looks at Poirot]

Hercule Poirot:
Col. Hughes?

Colonel Hughes:
[Col. Hughes comes over and checks Mr. Shaitana's pulse; filled with shock] My God...

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
[tot the guests] Um... May I have your attention please? I regret to inform you that Mr Shaitana... is dead.

Mrs. Lorrimer:
[genuinely shocked] Dead?

Dr. Roberts:
[getting up] There must be some mistake... Let me look at him.

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
That won't be necessary, doctor. Stay where you are.

Dr. Roberts:
The fellow must have fainted.

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
He hasn't fainted... He's been murdered.

Ariadne Oliver:
Murdered?

Supt. Jim Wheeler:
Stabbed through the heart!

[Mrs. Oliver's eyes widen in shock]
