Agatha Christie's Poirot1989

Miss Lemon:
This lady keeps telephoning, Mr. Poirot.

Hercule Poirot:
Sacr?. What a terrible circumstance.

Miss Lemon:
There's no need to be sarcastic, Mr. Poirot. I was going on to say that I didn't put her through to you, because she wouldn't give her name.

Hercule Poirot:
Ah.

Miss Lemon:
I told her you don't take anonymous phone-calls.

Hercule Poirot:
But I do, Miss Lemon. Sometimes I think anonymous telephone calls are the only ones worth taking.

Miss Lemon:
But how will I know where to file her if I haven't got a name?

Hercule Poirot:
Life first, Ms. Lemon, filing second.

Miss Lemon:
Very well then. [Hastings huffs in amusement] Next time she calls, I'll let her talk to you. And on your own head be it.

Captain Hastings:
You shouldn't tease her, Poirot.

Hercule Poirot:
She makes it irresistible.
