Jess Parker quotes from Primeval

Jess Parker

Pretty impressive CV. I mean, all the stuff this guy's done you would think he would be old and crusty, but he's not. He's young. Fit too.

Becker

[laughs]

Jess

What?

Becker

Nothing. Nothing... Is he the only candidate?

Jess

Got to the bit about Everest?

Becker

The way some people feel the need to boast about things...

Jess

Insecure, much?

Jess

[Mouthing] Prospero Industries, the future. [laughs] [To Anderson] Sorry, I've just seen this video with every new recruit this month. Not that you're a new recruit. You're the Boss. My Boss. Sir. [smiles]

Anderson

Matt's fine.

Jess

Lovely, Matt it is.

Abby

Jess, evacuate the loading bay. I'm going to start bringing the creatures out.

Jess

[having just watched a creature kill a young girl via CCTV] Sorry, Abby... these creatures are too dangerous. I've just been handed a major reality check. I'm sorry.

Abby

I'm just gonna have to do it on my own.

Lester

(stuck in traffic) A route Jess, any route, just find a way to get me out of here.

Jess

You might want to invest in a sat-nav.

Lester

Why bother when I've got you?

Jess

(sighs) You've had two calls from the cabinet office.

Lester

Oh, Yes? what do they want?

Jess

Something about a knighthood. They want to set up a meeting with you, something about a vetting process.

Lester

Well? What are you waiting for? Get my PA to set it up as soon as possible and find me that route out here fast. Sorry, you did say a knighthood?

Jess

Yes. Anything else you need that's not in my job description?

Lester

(hangs up and to himself thoughtfully) Sir James Lester... Hmm

Lester

What the hell is going on?

Jess

The creature took Connor!

Lester

Yes, I heard that the first time. What are you doing about it? Look, at the risk of sounding a tad self involved this better not screw up my knighthood. Matt will find him, don't worry. If you were an insect, would you want to eat Connor?

Here, you need to drink this. That's an order.

Jess Parker

You're mean, you know that?

Yes I do know that. I'm very mean. Now drink this.

Jess Parker

I hate you.

No you don't.

Jess Parker

I'm sorry, you're nice really. And you've got lovely hair and a good jaw.

Jess

Alpha team, what’s your status? Please respond. Alpha team respond. Okay we have another anomaly, coordinates 44 75 have we got any units available?

Negative on response time, gridlock…

Jess

Unit 8 can you hear me? Are you able to move into position?

Lester

What are we doing?

Jess

There are too many I can’t control it. We need more medics, more locking devices more people. I just...

Lester

Jess, Look at me. Jess, you are the hub of this operation, you may not get the credit you deserve but you do a brilliant job and if anyone can pull us through this, you can.

Jess

That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me.

Lester

I think it’s actually the nicest thing I’ve said to anyone, including my wife

Jess

Do you mean it?

Lester

Every word, now get back to work before we both start crying and hugging.

Jess

I don't believe it, there's another one. Its outside, the car park.

Lester

Oh my god, My new Jag's in the car park. This time it's personal.
