:26:01
I just wanted to say that in my country
we also come quickly to the point.
:26:10
I want you to take a job on for me.
:26:13
It means big money.
:26:15
Very big money.
:26:17
What is the case, or, as you put it, the
job which you wish me to undertake?
:26:21
Mr. Poirot, I'm a rich man.
:26:24
Naturally, men in my
position have enemies.
:26:28
Only one.
:26:31
Now, what the hell
do you mean by that?
:26:32
Merely that when a man is in a position
to have, as you say, enemies,
:26:36
it does not usually resolve
itself into one enemy only.
:26:41
Oh. Oh, sure. Sure. I appreciate that.
:26:44
What is your profession?
:26:47
I'm retired.
:26:48
- From what?
- Business.
:26:51
What sort of business?
:26:54
Baby food.
:26:55
But what does that matter?
What matters is my safety.
:26:58
You are in danger?
:26:59
My life has been threatened,
Mr. Poirot.
:27:02
My secretary can show
you two letters on file.
:27:07
And I... can show you this.
:27:13
I sleep on it.
:27:17
Mr. Poirot...
:27:20
...5,000 dollars.
:27:23
No?
:27:25
Ten thousand?
:27:28
Fifteen thousand.
:27:30
Mr. Ratchett, I have
made enough money
:27:32
to satisfy both my needs
and my caprices.
:27:35
I take only such cases now
as interest me,
:27:38
and to be frank, my interest
in your case is... dwindling.
