Taggart and Inglis in “Unfinished Business”

Mr, uh, English?

Inglis, with an I.

Come this way regularly?

Look, I've already given details to the young constable.

Ah, well, you know these young ones, sir.

[Nods] Every morning.

About the same time?

Give or take half an hour.

Ever find a deid body before?

[Turns to Taggart, chuckles nervously] What sort of question's that? No.

Must've come as quite a shock.

I suppose you're used to it. The police don't see life or death, only offences.

Aye, well that's a popular belief.

Look, I'm very cold, I've not eaten any breakfast...

You're at Glasgow University?

I lecture in languages on the African Horn.

My wife took an MA in Sociology there. Gives the odd lecture.

And what's her name?

Taggart, Jean.

In a wheelchair?

[Looks offended. Inglis sheepishly turns away] Do you enjoy jogging?

Aye, like to keep fit.

I believe we're born with so many heartbeats to use up. Why waste them?

Do you know who she is?

Not yet.
