Taggart, Season 1

Murray:
Don't think of a poster campaign as a sign of failure.

Taggart:
I do, sir.

Murray:
You can't crack every case if forty-eight hours.

Taggart:
They're no' up yet.

Murray:
[Getting into his car.] If there's some public response, that'll be a success.

Taggart:
It seemed such a simple one at first.

Murray:
[Laughs] Golf's like that! It's often the simpler shots that turn out the most difficult. [He shuts the car door.]

Taggart:
I'll take your word for it.

Murray:
[Winds the window down] You should take up golf when this is over. Ease that tension a bit. [Taggart rolls his eyes.] I've always said you needed a hobby. [Murray drives away. Taggart and Livingstone walk towards Taggart's car.]

Livingstone:
I have my own car tonight.

Taggart:
You know what haunts me? Knowing it's Billy boy and not being able to prove it.

Livingstone:
Why did he cut her hair off at the roots?

Taggart:
What did he do with it?

Livingstone:
He could be telling the truth.

Taggart:
Or he could be clever. [Opens his car door] Six hours' kip, all right?

Livingstone:
It'll have to be. See you in the morning.

Taggart:
[Gets into his car] You live alone?

Livingstone:
Yes, sir.

Taggart:
Will you stop calling me that?! I thought you'd be fixed up.

Livingstone:
There was someone in Edinburgh.

Taggart:
Young and pretty, was she?

Livingstone:
[Chuckles] I nearly married her.

Taggart:
Why didn't you?

Livingstone:
She didn't want to be married to a policeman.

Taggart:
She had brains! [Closes the car door and drives off.]
