3	----
4	!!The original 1941 novel:
5	* Regarding Mrs Gardener and Ms Brewster talking at the same time: "The result sounded rather like a sheepdog whose short stentorian barks interrupted the ceaseless yapping of a Pomeranian."
6	* "The eyes of Hercule Poirot dropped somewhat ruefully to a certain protuberance in his middle."

8	!!The 1982 film:
9	* The PassiveAggressiveKombat between Daphne Castle (Maggie Smith) and Arlena Marshall (Diana Rigg):
10	--> '''Daphne:''' Arlena and I were in the chorus of a show together. Not that I could ever compete. Even in those days, she could always throw her legs up in the air higher than any of us. [[ReallyGetsAround And wider.]]
11	--> '''Arlena:''' Kenneth, this is such a surprise! When you told me of an island run by a quaint little landlady, I had no idea it was Daphne Castle.
12	--> '''Kenneth:''' ''(embarrassed)'' Er, yes, quite. Daphne, I wonder if we could go to our rooms. It's been a long journey.
13	--> '''Daphne:''' Oh, certainly. ''(rings the bell, and calls out)'' Andreas! ''(no response)''
14	--> '''Arlena:''' If you're short-staffed, Kenneth can easily carry the bags.
15	--> '''Daphne:''' They'll be brought up in a minute! Do have a [[DeadlyEuphemism good, long, peaceful rest, Arlena]].
16	* Daphne's response to Arlena's late arrival at the evening cocktail gathering:
17	--> '''Arlena:''' ''(making a grand entrance)'' Oh my, I'm the last to arrive!
18	--> '''Daphne:''' [[DoubleEntendre Have a sausage, dear.]] You must be famished, having to wait all that time in your room.
19	* Kenneth Marshall mentions that the cannon is fired every day at noon in commemoration of a 10th century victory, apparently the ''only'' remarkable feat in their entire history.
20	* Poirot puts on his very TheRoaringTwenties swimming garment (to a triumphant {{fanfare}}), and makes an elaborate show of getting ready to go in the water... and chickens out.
21	* After Patrick Redfern has been outed, he socks Poirot a good one in the jaw.
22	* When Daphne Castle tells Poirot (who is recovering from being punched to the floor) that he has been decorated with an award from the King of Tyrania:
23	--> '''Daphne:''' He is so pleased he is awarding you the Order of Saint Gudrun the Inquisitive.
24	--> '''Poirot:''' Saint Gudrun the Inquisitive?
25	--> '''Daphne:''' First class.
26	--> '''Poirot:''' [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative How many classes are there?]]
27	--> ''(Kenneth and Linda laugh while Daphne looks mildly exasperated)''
