"Poirot" The Adventure of the Cheap Flat (TV Episode 1990) - William Hootkins as FBI Agent Burt

Hercule Poirot : [Referring to suspect Carla Romero whose flat the FBI and Scotland Yard have staked out] Monsieur Burt, I understand that she has had some dealings with the Mafia.

FBI Agent Burt : When will you guys understand, there is no such thing as the "Mafia" or the "Black Hand" or the "Cosa Nostra." Sure there's some immigrant families of mainly Southern European extraction who push each other around, but organized crime, *no sir*!
Hercule Poirot : [questioning Carla Romero] And there could never be a position for a woman of your ingenuity in the Ma...

[Poirot stops short of saying "Mafia," realizing that Agent Burt is present]

Hercule Poirot : Pardon. In the Brotherhood.

FBI Agent Burt : "Brotherhood." Look, the FBI is unequivocal in this matter. There is no such thing as the goddamn Brotherhood!
Chief Inspector Japp : May I introduce Hercule Poirot, the private detective, and his associate Captain Hastings.

Hercule Poirot : The American crime buster, hm?

FBI Agent Burt : Japp, I hope you're not so short of manpower you're hiring a shamus. What are they good for... chasing lost dogs. This is a matter of international security we're dealing with here.

Chief Inspector Japp : I have no intention of hiring anyone, Burt. And if you must know Mr. Poirot here has an outstanding reputation.

FBI Agent Burt : Oh... a gumshoe... of distinction. And I suppose Al Capone's running for president.
