Quotes 

• Lady Tamplin : [Lenox and Corky enter]  Ah, here they are at last. Katherine, my daughter Lenox. And this infant is my husband, Corky.

  Lenox Tamplin : He's not my father, obviously.

  Corky : Oh, no!

  Lenox Tamplin : That would be the astonishment of science.

• Lenox Tamplin : God, I'm bored.

  Lady Tamplin : Of course, you are bored, darling. It's your hormones.

  [Corky snorts with laughter] 

  Lady Tamplin : Corky, why don't you go and find a little friend to play with?

• Hercule Poirot : [Poirot has stepped off the Blue Train in Nice. The train whistles, then someone shrieks. Lady Tamplin stumbles out of the train]  My dear Lady Tamplin! What is the matter?

  Lady Tamplin : Don't, don't. I think I'm going to be sick...

  [clutching her stomach] 

  Hercule Poirot : What is the matter, Lady Tamplin?

  Lady Tamplin : Oh, God... Katherine...

  Hercule Poirot : [deeply concerned]  What has happened to Mademoiselle Grey?

  Lady Tamplin : She... Oh, my God... I shouldn't have looked at all that... blood.

  [Poirot rushes into the train and collides with Lenox] 

  Lenox Tamplin : [screaming in horror]  Mother! Mother!

  Katherine : [Poirot hesitates at Katherine's door. Then he opens it and finds Katherine also opening the door]  Oh!

  Hercule Poirot : Oh!

  Katherine : I'm so sorry I kept you waiting. I didn't find my silly comb.

  [Poirot heaves a sigh of relief] 

  Hercule Poirot : [Checking the number of Katherine's compartment - No. 3]  Compartment number 7!

  [He runs to investigate. Katherine looks concerned] 

• Lady Tamplin : [running wearing pyjamas]  Have you seen this? Corky! Corks! Where's Corks!

  Lenox Tamplin : [sunbathing]  I thought you always want me to call him "daddy".

  Lady Tamplin : Whatever she says. Read that.

  [handing her a newspaper] 

  Lenox Tamplin : [reading]  Some woman who was poor is now rich. Whatever.

  Lady Tamplin : Katherine Grey! She's my cousin! My first cousin!

  Lenox Tamplin : Never heard of her.

  Lady Tamplin : No, ah, we never had tremendously much in common. - Why can't someone die and leave me half a million quid? I'd spend it properly and all the right tradesmen would be rewarded and fulfilled and it'd all be lovely.

  Lenox Tamplin : Darling mommy, always thinking of other people.

  Lady Tamplin : I think, I should invite Katherine to come and stay. The Riviera sunshine might cheer her up.

  Lenox Tamplin : Anyone asks me what I get from my mother and I'll say: Shamelessness.

  Lady Tamplin : Pull it out, darling, or that will be all you'll get.

• Lady Tamplin : Why can't someone die and leave me half a million quid? I'd spend it properly. And all the right tradesmen would be rewarded and fulfilled and it would all be lively.

  Lenox Tamplin : Darling mummy, you're always thinking of other people.
