[first lines]
Hercule Poirot : Hastings, my friend, tell me: to blow up the English Parliament, was it a sin or a noble deed?
Captain Hastings : Oh, it's no good asking me, old son. I was never much of a one for politics. Where's Mrs Japp tonight, then?
Chief Inspector Japp : She can't abide fireworks.
Hercule Poirot : Ah, the noise disturbs the delicate sensibilities of many ladies.
Chief Inspector Japp : Maybe, maybe. I think it's more that she doesn't like to see people enjoying themselves.

Chief Inspector Japp : Not murder made to look like suicide... suicide disguised as murder.

Captain Hastings : What a good night for a murder, eh? I mean, if somebody wanted to kill anybody, nobody would know if it was a gunshot or a firework.
Hercule Poirot : But not so good, my friend, if your chosen method is strangulation.
Captain Hastings : No. That's true, no.
Chief Inspector Japp : Or poisoning, come to that.

Chief Inspector Japp : That's something in your line, Poirot. You like chasing about after the kind of triviality that leads nowhere.
-
Chief Inspector Japp : Never mind about jumping to conclusions, Poirot. This is a murder we're dealing with.
