#poirot 1x01: the adventure of the clapham cook

[bending-sickle]

been watching poirot lately and i just adore how much he hates the countryside, he’s such a little city mouse

Poirot: [commenting on the view from the train] Look at it, Hastings. Not a building in sight. Not a restaurant, not a theater, not an art gallery. A wasteland.

Hastings: I thought you liked the country.

Poirot: But this is not the country, my friend! The country is full of trees, and flowers, and public houses. This is a desert.

[…]

Hastings: Look at that, Poirot, look at that view.

Poirot: [with muddy shoes walking past a flock of sheep] Yes, well views are very nice, Hastings, but they should be painted for us so that we may study them in the warmth and comfort of our own homes. That is why we pay the artist, for exposing himself to these conditions on our behalf.

Hastings: What do you mean, conditions? It's a wonderful day. Just fill your lungs with that air.

Poirot: No, my poor friend. This sort of air is intended for birds and little furry things. The lungs of Hercule Poirot demand something more substantial. The good air of the town!

David Suchet on his moustache in AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT tv show → Studio 10 interview, Aug 13 2019

"By the step leading up into the sleeping car stood a young French lieutenant, resplendent in uniform, conversing with a small lean man, muffled up to the ears, of whom nothing was visible but a pink-tipped nose and the two points of an upward curled moustache. [...] Two men below her window were talking French. One was a French officer, the other was a little man with enormous moustaches. She smiled faintly. She had never seen anyone quite so heavily muffled up." - Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express
