Raymond Coulthard: Lawrence Haggard

Quotes 

• DCI Tom Barnaby : I believe you're trying to buy his garage.

  Lawrence Haggard : His garage is failing badly, Inspector. I made him a very generous offer.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Do you have some sort of business arrangement with Stephen Bannerman?

  Lawrence Haggard : We may have paid him the occasional consultancy fee, I suppose.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Consultancy fee? Yes, well, I see. It must be useful to have someone on board who knows the village, who's in debt, and so on, and might be susceptible to a generous offer.

  Lawrence Haggard : You need an edge in business.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Stephen help you buy that garage on the Causton road?

  Lawrence Haggard : Now you come to mention it, yes, I think he did.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Sells the cheapest petrol in the county, I'm told. It's no wonder Clive Cruickshank's garage is failing.

  Lawrence Haggard : You have done your homework, Inspector.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, you do need an edge in police work, Mr. Haggard.

• Lawrence Haggard : Holland and Holland. Look at the chasing.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Well, yeah, it's lovely, that.

  Lawrence Haggard : 120K.

  DCI Tom Barnaby : Each?

  Lawrence Haggard : Not really a gun person, are you, Inspector?

  DCI Tom Barnaby : In my job they only mean trouble.

  Lawrence Haggard : Yes, well, I suppose they do.
