Livingstone and Taggart in “Unfinished Business”

I think you were unfair, sir.

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

Such as?

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

I just think you were unnecessarily bigoted.

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

I still think you were unfair.

Aye, you do, do you?

I had gay friends at university.

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

[Affirmatively] No.

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

History and Economics.

Pass?

MA. Honours.

Must've pleased Mummy and Daddy.

It did. Joining the force didn't.

Step down, was it?

Sort of.

Come round, have they?

No.

My dad wanted me to be a tram driver.

Why?

[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.

You were born near here, then?

[Pointing] A mile that way.
