Taggart, Season 1

Livingstone:
I think you were unfair, sir.

Taggart:
If you and me are going to work together, there are a couple of things we'd better get straight.

Livingstone:
Such as?

Taggart:
Number one, you've got five minutes to eat that. [Looking at Livingstone's pie] Number two, rank.

Livingstone:
I just think you were unnecessarily bigoted.

Taggart:
A bigot? Me? Listen, I've turned blind eyes, but when somebody wastes my time to protect a wee bit of illicit nookie...

Livingstone:
I still think you were unfair.

Taggart:
Aye, you do, do you?

Livingstone:
I had gay friends at university.

Taggart:
[Taken aback a little] You're not a Mary Poppins yourself?

Livingstone:
[Affirmatively] No.

Taggart:
Oh-ho, now we're touchy, aren't we? What'd you take?

Livingstone:
History and Economics.

Taggart:
Pass?

Livingstone:
MA. Honours.

Taggart:
Must've pleased Mummy and Daddy.

Livingstone:
It did. Joining the force didn't.

Taggart:
Step down, was it?

Livingstone:
Sort of.

Taggart:
Come round, have they?

Livingstone:
No.

Taggart:
My dad wanted me to be a tram driver.

Livingstone:
Why?

Taggart:
[Shrugs] He was one, till his eyesight failed. Used to come in here with my mother. Sat over there. [Points to a table by the door behind them] Two wee people, not a lot to live for.

Livingstone:
You were born near here, then?

Taggart:
[Pointing] A mile that way.
