[talking about Sarah Quin and Joseph who used to fancy her when they were teenagers]
Farmer : You knew she'd work someone up into a real passion one day. Joseph carried a *real* torch for her.
Inspector Masters : But not Eddie?
Farmer : No. He was just a simple lad. He wouldn't have harmed a fly. But Joseph: the only way that lad got through the winter was thinking about her coming down during the summer.
Inspector Masters : Did she like him?
Farmer : She liked both the lads, but she weren't about to get hitched up at sixteen year old.
Inspector Masters : Is Joseph still around?
Farmer : Went away. Made a bit of a fool of his-self over Sarah. Got ragged about it. Couldn't take it. Well it weren't Sarah's fault. What he couldn't understand was that her coming here was just *one* thing that happened in her life, but she was the *only* thing that happened in his.

Chief Inspector Moore : We've now got two ticking clocks against us - "when will he kill again?" and "when are we off the job?".
