Lola Griffin quotes from Holby City

Abra

What d'you suppose it is?

Donna

It's obvious, isn't it? It's an escargot.

The artist calls it "The Circle of Life". Made entirely of recycled materials. Appropriate, don't you think?

Come now, Doctor Griffin. It's well documented that art plays a crucial role in keeping patients calmer and more relaxed.

Lola

If I'd have known that, I'd have given out easels instead of drugs.

Donna

Still looks like a bloody snail to me.

Lola

I don't know about you, but I'd never trust a man who deals in scrap metal.

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.

Lola

As my grandma used to say, "If you look for a peck of trouble, don't gripe when you find a bushel."

Ric

[sarcastically] As ever, your grandma's wisdom astounds me.

Lola

As Grandma used to say, "All mouth and no trousers makes Jack a dull boy".

Ric

Is it possible your grandma was a little confused?
