• [George is talking about a day out with his mother when he was a child] 

  George Marlow : Just as we got to the gates. The lads they all saw it... The wind blew her wig off.

  Moyra Henson : [begins to laugh]  You're kidding me? Blew her wig off? No...

  [she bursts into hysterical laughter] 

  George Marlow : It wasn't funny, Moyra!

  Moyra Henson : [laughing]  I'm sorry.

  George Marlow : Dad ran down the road to try and get it back.

  [Moyra continues to laugh] 

  George Marlow : Mum just stood there. I didn't know she had no hair... Well, Dad tried to help her put it back on, but he got the parting on the wrong...

  [Moyra continues to laugh hysterically] 

  George Marlow : Underneath all that glamour she was... ugly. Like she was someone I never knew.

  Moyra Henson : Did all the kids see it?

  [George nods] 

  Moyra Henson : Did she ever mention it again?

  [George shakes his head] 

  Moyra Henson : I've never said anything; it's always been obvious to me, I mean... Just thought it was old age. How long has she been bald then?

  George Marlow : Dunno, she never mentions it. Still pretends, always telling me she needs a good shampoo and trim.

  Moyra Henson : Just goes to show you - the Rita Hayworth of Warrington was really Yul Brynner in disguise.

  [they both slowly burst into laughter] 

• George Marlow : This is a mess, isn't it?

  DCI Jane Tennison : [Nods her head]
