Yes Maybe you're right.

She has too much power.

- Mr.

- Thank you.

Health

Linnet.

- Honey.

- Uncle Andrew.

What a surprise!

Did not know you were here.

Everything was very fast.

I'm on honeymoon.

On honeymoon?

This is the lucky young man?

My curator of the United States,

Andrew Pennington, love.

Simon.

Simon Doyle.

- Very pleased.

- My pleasure.

- In the attached?

- Just a moment.

Do not worry.

I will not intrude.

I know the young.

And the target of all eyes.

Even you,

with his modesty English, the notes.

- It is very beautiful

- And have a lot of money.

You know who you are?

- Of course.

- Yes.

Sorry for the intrusion

but I made a bet

with my daughter.

You're Hercule Porridge,

the famous French detective?

Almost. I am Hercule Poirot,

the famous Belgian detective.

I told you, Rosalie.

There is only one Mr. Poirot

in the world.

Unmistakable.

As I am too.

My mother is Salome Otterbourne,

author of novels.

Otter ... Salome, of course.

Charming.

Two famous people

in the same place.

Three, I'd say.

I was referring to the genius

and not the mere money, sir.

Le presento al Colonel Race

mi viejo friend.

Mrs. ..

and his daughter ...

Encantada.

Sit down, please.

You are writing some

new book, lady?

What happens

in Egypt, perhaps?

That deduction brighter,

Mr. Poirot!

I am here to absorb

local color

to my great opus

Snow''on the Sphinx.''

Ice cream becomes an enigma

in white-hot love

When an English girl

fresh out of school

plays the heartless heart

a cruel sheik of the desert.

I think Mr. Poirot

is not an avid reader of novels

Romantic, Mom.

Of course it does.

All the French are.

Not afraid of a good sex.

Are different from our

main libraries.

Salome Otterbourne vetoed

Speaking the truth

about men and women.

But she moves on.

The truth, yes.

It's so hard to speak the truth

Thank you, sir.

Would you like to dance

a tango with me

Miss?

Exercise after dinner.

Do you dance tango, Colonel?

Little, Mrs. Otterbourne.

I teach dancing right,

as in Spain,

when it was known as''chica''

I mean, with a touch

sensual and erotic.

But my, Jackie!

Leave us alone!

Waiter.

Mr Poirot.

Mr Poirot.

What I saw today with the Linnet.

How much you paid for

keep me away?

I do not accept payment

nor accept.

What you say

is friendship.

What you have to tell me?

I do something ridiculous?

I'm crazy?

Bury the dead.

Not like the Egyptians ...

keeping the body

to ensure the eternity

the soul. No.

And definitely appropriate.

Give back to the past.

Look just ahead.

Remember that time

heals.

If you think I am suffering

is mistaken.

Actually I am

enjoying.
