Quotes 

• DCI Jim Taggart : Come on, I'll buy you both lunch.

  Jackie Reid : [to Jardine:]  Do you think mourning has affected him?

  [referring to the recent death of Jean Taggart's Aunt Hettie, whom Jim passionately disliked] 

  Mike Jardine : Mourning? He couldn't stand the sight of her!

• Mike Jardine : Not exactly a heavenly body...

  [when Jardine looks through Philip Dempster's telescope to see Taggart in the house on the opposite side of the road] 

• Mike Jardine : He's refusing to tell us which coffins he put the body parts into. We'll have to exhume the lot.

  DCI Jim Taggart : Well then, exhume the lot!

  Mike Jardine : That unfortunately includes your Auntie Hettie, sir.

  Supt. McVitie : Going somewhere, Jim?

  [as Taggart walks to the exit] 

  DCI Jim Taggart : I'm away to see Jean, sir. Then... I think I'll emigrate!
