Sergeant Howie:
Where is Rowan Morrison? Lord Summerisle:
Sergeant Howie, I think that... you are supposed to be the detective here. Sergeant Howie:
A child is reported missing on your island. At first, I'm told there is no such child. I-I... I then find that there is, in fact, but she has been killed. I subsequently discover that there is no death certificate. And now I find that there is a grave. There's no body. Lord Summerisle:
Very perplexing for you. What do you think could have happened? Sergeant Howie:
I think Rowan Morrison was murdered, under circumstances of Pagan barbarity, which I can scarcely bring myself to believe is taking place in the 20th century. Now, it is my intention tomorrow to return to the mainland and report my suspicions to the chief constable of the West Highland Constabulary. And I will demand a full inquiry takes place into the affairs of this heathen island. Lord Summerisle:
You must, of course, do as you see fit, Sergeant. [ringing a bell] Lord Summerisle:
Perhaps it's just as well that you won't be here tomorrow to be offended by the sight of our May Day celebrations here
