Mike and David in “Unfinished Business”

Mike

Why here?

David

Meet the man that killed Margaret. You wanted somewhere private. Where's more private than a cemetery? How'd you find me?

Mike

Phoned the Tribune. Spoke to that reporter, Laurie Johnson. Why are you staying there?

David

Do you expect me to stay with you?

Mike

[Sighs] ...I need a favour, a big favour. We've got a son, Christopher. He's ten months old. He's been kidnapped. They're asking a ransom of £50,000. They say they'll kill him if I phone the police. So I'm not gonna... [Sighs] Did you know we had a son?

David

I heard.

Mike

A daughter too, she's six.

David

Everything gets to you inside.

Mike

I've nae right to ask... it's your money they're after.

David

How'd you know?

Mike

All that stuff about you in the papers.

David

You make me laugh(!)

Mike

Davey, I don't know what we're gonnae do!

David

You left me to rot in there. A year campaigning, and then nothing. Not even a letter. Was it guilt that stopped you visiting us? Or were you just too busy bringing up a family?

Mike

Come on, look at what I did do for you!

David

You know what kept me going? Knowing there'd be compensation when she was found. A lot of it. I wasn't coming out to do a trip down the social. That money is all I've got. I've earned it.

Mike

So you'll no' help me?

David

Why should I?
