Holby City, Series 10

[Ric has forced Jayne Grayson to increase Lola's redundancy package; he has just revealed to Lola that he knew she had been offered another job and was planning to leave anyway.]

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.
