Pocket: Look Cadet, despite the spillage, the waffles came out fine.
Denim: I guess I shouldn't have doubted the capabilities of a Belgian waffle iron.
Pocket: Indeed not. As if anything associated with Hercule Poirot could be defective!
Denim: Well, that's two done anyway. How many more shall we make?
Pocket: Let's do an even 90 and call it a morning.
Denim: Why so many?
Pocket: Well, Poirot's in thirty-three novels, a play, and over fifty short stories, isn't he?
Denim: Phew! We'd better get started then.
Pocket: Hey, it's not like I'm counting all the theatrical, radio, TV and movie adaptations too.
Denim: Like the latest version of The ABC Murders, starring John Malkovich?
Pocket: Um...let's just pry these out, and pour in more batter, Cadet.
Denim: Right, sir.
