- DCI Jim Taggart: She lost Mrs. Campbell at Central Station, when she was putting her bag into the left luggage.
- Supt. McVitie: Is she going to open it?
- [Reid has mistakenly boarded a London bound train instead of opening the suspect suitcase]
- DCI Jim Taggart: She can't - she's at Carstairs Junction! My God... wimmen polis!
- 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]
- Jean Taggart: And a limousine too!... You never did anything for her when she was alive, now you do this! I'll never understand you, Jim!
- [Jean curses Taggart after he goes against Aunt Hettie's wishes and buys a top of the range coffin and hires a limousine for her funeral]
- 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!
