Taggart, Series 1

Taggart:
Why the grain silo?

Norman:
It was a place to go, that's all. Rosie's married, so we couldn't go to her place. Except one night we managed when her husband was away. You won't tell my wife, will you? I'd sooner go back inside.

Taggart:
[Getting up from his chair] I think we owe you an apology, Norman. [Motions for Livingstone to open the door.]

Livingstone:
[As Norman is about to leave the room] How well did you know David Balfour in prison?

Norman:
Why? Who was it that shopped me? It was Balfour, wasn't it?

Taggart:
Any reason why?

Norman:
Just because I had a go at him the day he got out.

Taggart:
[Taking Norman back into the interview room] What kind of a go? [Livingstone closes the door again.]

Norman:
I reminded him that there's some people come out to nothing. Do I look like the sort of man who would kill a child? Kidnap anyone? Where would I put a baby? In my bike box? Him working out his compensation money before she was even found. [Taggart's eyes light up] If you ask me, he was lucky. I wish it was mine that'd been found dismembered beneath the floorboards

Taggart:
What did you say?

Norman:
I said I wish it was mine that...

Taggart:
No, no, no. About the compensation money.

Norman:
He used to work out how much he'd be entitled to when she was found.

Taggart:
[Turns to Livingstone, who glances back at Taggart, then turns back to Norman] That confident, was he?

Norman:
That's why I said he was lucky. It happened one day, like he said it would.
