Craddock: Have they got any other servants?
Miss Marple: Yes they have, Inspector.
Craddock: Good Lord! You.
Miss Marple: Yes. Dotty old me.
Ackenthorpe: There is one thing I cannot tolerate, and that is impertinence.
Miss Marple: Well, we should get on admirably. Neither can I.
Miss Marple: I'm afraid I never can resist my own pie, Inspector. Anybody else's, of course.
Dr. Quimper: You're going to live to be a hundred in spite of anything I can do.
Ackenthorpe: I live here because I want to, not because I can afford it.
Ackenthorpe: If you don't shut those windows you'll be fired.
Miss Marple: In that case I shall require four weeks' wages in lieu of notice.
Ackenthorpe: Get out of my sight, woman.
Miss Marple: With pleasure.
Alexander: Nostalgia, you know. A failing of the old, I suppose.
Ackenthorpe: Don't you think I've seen a corpse before? Be one myself soon.
Ackenthorpe: I hope it'll be a long time before I have to put up with the whole pack of them again.
Miss Marple: Not a very nice way to talk about one's family.
Ackenthorpe: Not a very nice family.
Mr. Stringer: Miss Marple, whatever it is: no, no, no.
Hillman: Don't think I won't tell him, neither.
Alexander: Despite the double negatives, I'm sure you will.
Alexander: I thought discretion the better part of valor, Jane.
Ackenthorpe: Well, I've decided to marry you.
Miss Marple: Well, I'm honored, of course.
Ackenthorpe: Of course you are, but come to the point.
Miss Marple: I'm afraid that cannot be.
Ackenthorpe: Why?
Miss Marple: Well, if ever I do embark on such a venture, there is someone else.
Ackenthorpe: Nonsense! I don't believe it. Who on earth would have you?
Ackenthorpe: Marple her name, marble her nature.
Ackenthorpe: Cod's as good as lobster any day, and much cheaper.
Miss Marple: Well, that depends on whether or not one has a palate unsullied by cheap opiates.
Ackenthorpe: If you mean what I think you mean, I'll have you know this cheroot cost two shillings.
Miss Marple: Yes. Quite.
Miss Marple: A policeman's work is never done.
