I just watched Agatha Christie's Appointment with Death on PBS. At the end, Poirot said something to this effect (quoted from memory):

"There is nothing so damaged, mademoiselle, that it cannot be repaired. I want you to know this; for without this knowledge, we would all go mad."

I thought this so profound; I immediately downloaded the book from Amazon to get the exact wording for use in the quotes thread. Well, guess what? There's nothing in the book even remotely similar to the line David Suchet uttered on the show.

I wonder where that line originated? with the television scriptwriters? from another Christie book? was it an ad-lib by Suchet?

All I know for sure is that I just blew $6.99 on a book to which I know the ending.
