• Jacqueline de Bellefort : It's a .22 caliber. It's practically a toy. Maybe, to fix a broken heart. All it takes is a single bullet.

• Hercule Poirot : You have known Madame Doyle for some time?

  Jacqueline de Bellefort : We met doing the school play. "Antony and Cleopatra." I was Cleopatra, until the teacher came a week before opening and decided to give my part to Linnet. I was stuck with Charmian, the handmaid.

• Jacqueline de Bellefort : Simon loves me! Simon loves me. I know it. Even if he's forgotten, dazzled by her. Love that fierce doesn't vanish. I love him. I love him madly. Badly, at every minute. It's not something I can switch off. There's a reason the heart is the organ given to love, you know. If it stops to rest, we die. And I won't die alone, you can be sure of that.

• Hercule Poirot : Mademoiselle, you have a choice still. You can ruin his life or begin a new one. It may not be the life that you imagined, but perhaps it will be the life that God intended.

  Jacqueline de Bellefort : Love is far too important to trust to God.

• Jacqueline de Bellefort : You can't get rid of me that easily, Simon. We were bound. Heart and body, I gave you all of me.

  Simon Doyle : A few months of good times? Hmm? Were they even that good? I swear, looking at you now makes all the fond memories go sour. It's like trying to remember a party after you've been sick.

• Jacqueline de Bellefort : Take her to the dance floor, silly. Go and thank her properly.

• Jacqueline de Bellefort : He's country through and through.

• Linnet Ridgeway : Oh, darling. You got it so bad. Be careful.

  Jacqueline de Bellefort : It's too late.
