Agatha Christie's Poirot1989

Hercule Poirot:
You do know who I am?

Nick Buckley:
No. I don't.

Hercule Poirot:
I forget; you are but a child. Alors, my friend here, Captain Hastings, he will tell it to you.

Captain Hastings:
Well, um, Monsieur Poirot is a detective.

Nick Buckley:
Oh.

Captain Hastings:
[Poirot just looks at Hastings] Um, uh, a great detective.

Hercule Poirot:
My friend, is that all you can find to say? Mais dis donc, say then to Mademoiselle that I am the detective unique, unsurpassed, the greatest that ever lived.

Captain Hastings:
Well, doesn't seem much point now; you've told her yourself.

Hercule Poirot:
Ah yes, but it is more agreeable to preserve the modesty.
