• Radek : [listening to a sad song sung by the lady next door]  She sings beautifully, doesn't she?

  Commissaire Jules Maigret : Is she pretty?

  Radek : I don't know.

  Commissaire Jules Maigret : Is she young?

  Radek : I don't know her. I don't want to know her. I take that back. I do know her. From listening to her, I've imagined a body and a face to go with that voice. The face of - a certain someone.

• Radek : Don't forget the old saying: "The perpetrator is he who benefits from the crime." In this case, that's Willy Ferrière. I've watched him for a long time now. We go to the same café. He's been driven to ruin by a demanding woman. You need look no further.

  Commissaire Jules Maigret : Thank you. But they had help from someone else.

  Radek : Is that so?

  Commissaire Jules Maigret : Someone who rigged it from the start to make it look like the work of a defenseless simpleton.

  Radek : Me?

  Commissaire Jules Maigret : Good-bye, little man.
