Dr. Lutz : Monsieur Poirot! Let me be absolutely clear. I cannot permit you to interfere with my patient.
Hercule Poirot : Doctor Lutz. Are you an admirer of Nietzsche?
Dr. Lutz : All Austrians are not Nazis, Monsieur Poirot.
Hercule Poirot : You think that I try to trap you?
Dr. Lutz : Naturally, it's your métier. Who is employing you and what do you want from my patient?
Hercule Poirot : In this case, I am engaged by Monsieur Ted Williams, and what I require from Mademoiselle Samoushenka is to return her maid Nita.
Dr. Lutz : I've genuinely no idea what you're talking about.

Dr. Lutz : You speak to me in archetypes. All this is very Jung. Nobody with intelligence credits Jung.

Hercule Poirot : Hmm, I am glad... but also Belgian.
Dr. Lutz : You cannot expect me to compromise my client confidentiality. Are you mad?
Hercule Poirot : No, Doctor, but neither is Katrina Samoushenka.
