Ric has just announced to the department that Diane has been killed when her car was in collision with a train.]
You never know what's round the corner.
Yeah, like a whacking great train.

[Donna, Maria, Lola, Chrissie, Abra and Mark are staring at an abstract sculpture that is being erected in the grounds.]
What d'you suppose it is?
It's obvious, isn't it? It's an escargot.
SSutherland
The artist calls it "The Circle of Life". Made entirely of recycled materials. Appropriate, don't you think?
[Lola looks highly sceptical.]
SSutherland
Come now, Doctor Griffin. It's well documented that art plays a crucial role in keeping patients calmer and more relaxed.
If I'd have known that, I'd have given out easels instead of drugs.
[Sutherland walks away.]
Still looks like a bloody snail to me.
I don't know about you, but I'd never trust a man who deals in scrap metal.
[Connie wants to take her father William to Holby for an operation.]
WCWilliam Chase
I aren't going in a private ambulance!
Think of it as a taxi with a defibrillator.
The punter… or do you prefer client?
JJayne
I prefer patient.
BLord Byrne
Apparently my ulcer also disapproves of divorce.
[Sees Jac kiss Lord Byrne]
Oh my God…this place is never dull.
[referring to Lord Byrne and his heart] Too much rumpy not enough pumpy.
[During Lord Byrne’s operation]
One point to us
There’s the rupture there and there
Oh...two points to God. [fixes hole] …The equalizer.
[Abra is giving his best-man's speech at the wedding of Ric and Thandie.]
We're honoured to have one of Ric's ex-wives here today - the lovely Lola - and I have a text from the others saying "Sorry we're late. Both minibuses broken down on the M4!"
[Dan, Jac and Paul are operating on an elderly patient]
So, Miss Naylor, have you checked out the patient's status?
Sorry?
As your next potential conquest.
Hilarious.
He's just about the age for you, isn't he? He's worth a bob or two, by all accounts.
Blah, blah, blah.
PPaul
It's a bit of a come-down from the landed gentry.
Zip it, mini-me!
So what time's the funeral?
I wouldn't know.
Are you persona non grata?
I'm glad you find the death of an eminent surgeon the source of such endless amusement.
[to Paul Rose] She really is an ice-queen, isn't she Rosie?
PPaul
Positively arctic.
No-one's ever wanted you, have they Jac, and no-one ever will.
Your dad did.
That wasn't exactly what he wanted from you.
And what about you? You wanted me.
Right up until I looked into that cold dead heart.
And yet as he lay there dying, thinking about me and what he'd be missing, rather than his dried-up old stiff of a wife or his spineless son, where were you? Holding his hand? Offering a last few words of comfort? Or locking horns with yours truly, trying to put a dent in my cold dead heart. And that's what really gets you, isn't it? You've got to carry that round for the rest of your days. If it was your father, we both know he'd shrug it off and move on. But not you - not the nail-scrubbing little worry-wart. You'll never shake the feeling that even on his death-bed, you were one big let-down.
[Provoked beyond endurance, Joseph hits Jac very hard across the face.]
Don't mess with me!
But it's such fun.
[Jac slaps Joseph]
Will that be all?
[Jac slaps Joseph again, even harder]
Now we're even.
[Dan has seen Jac hit Joseph and wants an explanation from her]
The last few weeks have been rather trying for me.
They have been very interesting for the rest of us.
[Connie is showing a group of Chinese doctors round the department. Robbie Ling is translating.]
[to Robbie] You translate what I say. Translate this. This is Mr. Clifford. Mr. Clifford is a General Surgeon. As we all were before graduating to the specialism of Cardiothoracics.
Are you disputing my diagnosis Mr Strachan?
Of course not.
Because in my humble, professional opinion, that's a dead body.
