Taggart · Season 1, Episode 15

David, Alan and others in “Unfinished Business”

David

[Tightening a screw] ...the fan belt shouldnae work loose again. I'll take it for a wee drive, see if it's that's what's causing the problem.

Alan

Didn't look loose to me...

Jo

I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

David

It's all my brother and me were ever good at.

Ronnie

What's going on?

Jo

Oh, David's just fixed the fan belt on the car. Er... [Realises she hasn't introduced David to Ronnie] David Balfour, my husband Ronnie McIsaac...

David

We've met.

Ronnie

Jo... [Beckons Jo aside] No more.

Jo

What do you mean?

Ronnie

I want a home, not a... a halfway house. I want to forget.

Jo

Well, it's only for a few weeks.

Ronnie

But you said we'd have time on our own. You promised.

Jo

I know...

Ronnie

And why him? [Motioning to David, he starts to aggressively approach him, but Jo stops him. Taggart appears on the driveway.]

Taggart

Quite a party(!)

David

[Slamming the car bonnet shut, he stares at Taggart] If you've come to apologise, you're too late. I'll try the car. [He gets in the driver's seat.]

Taggart

Listen, if there's anything I can do...

David

Try resigning. After next Sunday, your name won't be worth the space it takes up in the telephone directory.
