Agatha (1979)

Timothy West: Kenward

Quotes 

• John Foster : Why don't you charge the Colonel with obstructing the police?

  Kenward : Yes, I might. On the other hand, it could be just the natural behavior of an arrogant overbearing high-ranking sod. Keep that off the record, by the way.

• Kenward : Well, in the past, Sir, there have been rumors in the past that Mrs Christie threatened to kill herself.

  Kenward : Utter rubbish. Servants' gossip.

  Col. Archibald Christie : I dare say you know that my wife is a well known writer of murder mysteries. Poison, intrigue, murder and suicides. It's everyday family small talk.

  Kenward : I see Sir. So you have absolutely no idea what might have happened to her?

  Col. Archibald Christie : I am sure that nothing at all has happened to her. But I would strongly urge you, in your own interest, to call all this off.

• John Foster : What's Colonel Christie up to? I can't get an interview with him.

  Kenward : "My wife has disappeared. No comment." Odd way to behave, wouldn't you say? If it was your wife that was missing.

  John Foster : I'm not married.
