Holby City Quote
[Ric has forced Jayne Grayson to increase Lola's redundancy package; he has just revealed to Lola that he knew she had been offered another job and was planning to leave anyway.]
Lola: So you were faking it...
Ric: ...And you were faking it. And fortunately Jayne Grayson was convinced enough to reach for her cheque book.
Lola: You could have told me.
Ric: No, it had to be the real deal.
Lola: "Plausible deniability", eh?
Ric: Something like that.
Lola: I really thought you'd sold out.
Ric: Lola, there must have been half-a-dozen times over the past twenty years when I would happily have seen you subjected to cruel and inhumane animal experimentation.
Lola: The feeling has been mutual.
Ric: But there comes a time when you realise that the things you have in common far outweigh the things that divide you. And that has to count for something. I couldn't let you get shafted by Jayne Grayson.
