Quotes 

• Agatha Christie : Why are you smiling?

  Wally Stanton : I am smiling because you're just like your books after all. Always a surprise ending.

• Wally Stanton : She is much more attractive than I'd imagined. And much sadder.

• Wally Stanton : Would you care for a kiss?

  Agatha Christie : No.

  Wally Stanton : Would you care for a cigarette?

  Agatha Christie : No thank you.

  Wally Stanton : Would you care if I told you that these clumsy attempts of humor are simply my way of telling you that I find myself very attracted to you?

  Agatha Christie : I'd much rather you didn't.

  Wally Stanton : Why?

  Agatha Christie : Because I love my husband very much. My husband was very dear to me.

• Wally Stanton : I see that you're keeping up with the Agatha Christie affair. Tell me, do you think that she is dead? Everyone seems to.

  Agatha Christie : They do, don't they?

  Wally Stanton : That is all except her husband. I read this morning that he offered five hundred pounds for information. What do you think?

  Agatha Christie : Perhaps that is all she is worth.

• Wally Stanton : Sooner or later someone is going to find her. It would be much better for her and for me if that someone is myself. Otherwise it will be the police, and everyone will be down on her like vultures.

• Wally Stanton : [in the swimming pool, to Agatha who is afraid to move away from the edge because she cannot swim]  Come on. If I can walk here, you can.
