Ratchett : [holding out a cigar] I wonder if you could oblige me with a light.
Hercule Poirot : Ah, certainly.
[he reaches into his pocket for a box of matches and hands them to Ratchett]
Ratchett : Thank you. My name is Ratchett. Do I have the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Hercule Porrot?
Hercule Poirot : The pleasure, possibly, Mister Ratchett. The intention, certainly: you asked me for a light, I offered you one, and you have not used it. One can deduce that without acute mental exhaustion.
