Tara Lo quotes from Holby City

Tara Lo

Darwin Central! All change!

Come on, put your back into it, woman - ONWARDS!

Tara

Ooh, you're really heavy! You've put on weight, Ollie.

I am moderately underweight, I'm afraid...

Tara

You're rotund.

ONWARDS!

[Sees Tara has not put on her surgical gown] OI!

Tara

No.

Come on, it's part of the costume.

Tara

Don't want it.

Yeah, not so much an ask thing, more of a telling-

Tara

Don't want it!

Put the gown on.

Tara

You put the gown on!

Tara

What are they talking about?

At a guess - football?

Tara

[swallowing her pre-op meds] Urgh, they're horrible.

You think they're horrible? Check out these bad boys! [holds up surgical socks]

Tara

Urgh, you're joking! How'd I not know about them?

We don't mention them.

Tara

[putting on her gown] Is my bum showing?

Splendidly!

Tara

Ollie, I have to work with these people!

[to Tara during surgery] How do you feel?

Tara

Sick!

Well you won't be; they've given you an anti-emetic.

Hello. What's my name?

Tara

Roxana.

And what's his name?

Tara

Bumhead!

Tara

[sedated] Am I being funny?

You're being very funny.

Tara

So we agree, I am the funny one?

You're the funny one when you're on a massive dose of relaxants, yes.

Tara

[laughing] I feel good! [singing] I feel good - derderderderderderder - I knew that I would - derderderderderderder - I feeeel good - derderderderderderder - I knew that I would - derderderderderderder -

[singing] So good -

Tara

Er-er -

[singing] So good -

Tara

Er -

[singing] I got you - bah bah bah bah baaaah...

Does this happen often?

Could you write something, please?

Tara

Oh here we go - Saturday School! [Lin holds up pad with a Chinese character drawn on it] I don't know, I'm rusty.

You know this. [Tara looks confused]

It's fine; it's a lot to take in.

Tara

I don't remember.

It's OK; don't panic.

Tara

What's that smell?

What smell?

Tara

Like - pencil? Strawberries...

[to Lin] Don't worry, this has happened before.

OK, possibly complex partial seizure. Can happen in the mapping procedure. Let's anaesthetize her please.

She had a strawberry pencil - from my parents.

Tara

[looking at the pad again] It says love! Love...
