Does anyone know the name of the poison used to kill Mischa Auer's character? I can't understant what Blore says. And before you ask, no I'm not going to buy the same kind of poison to murder a co-worker next thursday.

I don't remember him mentioning it by name. What scene specifically?
In the scene where the doctor is examining the glass, and Blore joins him, the doctor tastes the liquid, says "Lethal solution." Blore replies with "Suicide?" as far as I can tell, not a name of a poison.
Have fun next Thursday! -

Thanks a lot. That's the scene I was referring to. Somehow the word "suicide" didn't sound like "suicide" to me. I thought he was suggesting the name of a poison. It's funny how sometimes a word seems like something else, especially if you're not a native speaker of English as is my case. I guess I won't be having that much fun on Thursday after all, unless I can induce suicide on someone (like that last little Indian). Once again, thanks, silvergirlsails (this is from the Simon and Garfunkel song, right?).

Sorry to put a damper on Thursday. You were so looking forward to it, til I ruined it. In that scene, "suicide" could be mistaken for "cyanide" if you'd like to forget our previous posts. I believe the book specifically mentions Potassium Cyanide as the cause of his death.
And right on - Simon and Garfunkel it is! Not too many people get that without me explaining it. -

Just a confirmation. Yeah, it was potassium cyanide that was used to kill Prince Nikita. (Though, in the book, there's a different character. I believe they had to change it because of who the casted for the role.)
