Elliot Hope quotes from Holby City

Joseph

I'm dying for a bacon butty.

Elliot

You? A bacon butty?

Joseph

Yes, I do take the silver spoon out of my mouth once in a while to enjoy a good fry up.

Elliot

Have you ever thought of getting married again, Connie?

Connie

Me? Get married? Yes, of course - I'm just waiting for the right billionaire cum Nobel laureate.

Jac

How much trouble am I in?

No trouble at all.

Jac

Elliot.

Elliot

He's right.

Jac

Tell me the truth.

No, the truth is you're going to be fine.

Elliot

So shut up and let me concentrate.

Jac

Some bedside manner.

Elliot

I've been thinking...

Connie

Oh don't do that. It might trigger a midlife crisis. And let's face it, you should have done that at 40.

Connie

It's never going to happen, is it? Mark Williams as CEO. What was he thinking?

Elliot

Well I imagine he's...

Connie

As consultant nurse you can't fault him. But you know what he's done: he's gone looking for his libido and found his ego instead. I don't know why he doesn't do what most middle-aged men do.

Elliot

Oh, he's tried that. Bought a motorbike.

Connie

No, no. I meant, go with a younger woman.

Elliot

He's tried that too.

Did you have any idea this was coming?

If I did I couldn't tell you.

But you had another session with him this morning. [She nods] And?

I sensed there was a crisis coming.

Crisis? And you were happy with that?

Can't spell 'catharsis' without 'crisis'.

[pauses] Hang on, there's another 'i' in- [She has gone]
