Charlie : Right are you ready to get on with it again?
Duffy : What, life? Yeah I'm ready to give it another whirl
***
Charlie: Any idea why there's a 10 foot fir tree blocking my parking space??
***
Duffy: Remeber how I always said that if no one had you by the time you were sixty, I'd have to have you?
Charlie: Of course.
Duffy: Looks like I've blown that one then doesn't it?
Charlie: I don't know, if you play your cards right...!

H: Red roses Patrick..
P: So i saw, who do you know who's so romantic?
H: Well, that's what I was wondering
P: Must have more money than sense
H: Oh, i dont know about that..
P: Do you like him?
H: Two dozen red roses, what woman wouldnt? Did you send them?
P: Maybe im not so emotionally dsyfunctianal after all
H: Dysfunctional? You're unbelievable
P: What?
H: Do you really think a bunch of flowers could make up for your behaviour today?
P: Apparently not
H: You know what.. you have as much respect for the living as you have for the dead!!
P: Holly.... I paid my respects for Frank by trying to save his life.. Unfortuantly for him, and max, and everyone else i failed.. and i didnt need to go to his funeral to be reminded of that fact!
H: Patrick, you can't save everyone!
P: i can, if im good at my job
H: I didnt understand you when I went out with you, and I certainly don't understand you now!!
P: The only difference between you and me is that i maintain a sense of professional detatchment
H: Oh, even with a frightened little girl
P: With any patient
H: Well, i'll tell you what patrick, try maintaining that same profesional detatchment from me as well

Duffy: Patience, a sense of humour, and an element of surprise - Andrew's taking me away for the weekend. We're gonna be wined, dined, and treated like royalty!
Charlie: And let nature take its course?
Duffy: That's what he hopes!
Charlie: Do you?
Duffy: What, jealous?
Charlie: No, not in the least. I've never had the slightest desire to spend a dirty weekend with your husband!
Duffy: Charlie! (pinches his bum)
***
Patrick: So, what got him (ed) to rattle?
Holly: He made a pass at me if you must know. I turned him down, he didn't take it too well.
Patrick: Ah well, doesn't surprise me. He doesn't change.
Holly: Yeah well, I'd forgotten how vicious he can be. Don't say I told you so Patrick because you've always been jealous of Ed.
Patrick: What?
Holly: You heard.
Pause.
Patrick: Envious.
Holly: What?
Patrick: Envious, not jealous. you always seemed up for a luahg together. Half the time I didn't know what to say to you.
Holly: But I left him for you!
Patrick: Didn't stop me wondering whether you would go back to him though, did it?
(Hands him a cup of tea.)
Patrick: Two sugars.
Holly: you were so happy when he got kicked out of medical school.
Patrick: I didn't get him kicked out. You never believed me about that did you? Ed told you that it was me that shopped him to the head, didn't he?
Holly: Yes and I had no reason to doubt him.
Patrick: But I did and if you can't believe me Holly then we have got nothing more to say to eachother!
Slams down cup and turns to go. Then, realising he has something to get off his chest he turns back.
Patrick: You keep trying to change me, make me someone that I'm not. I'll never be good enough for you.
***
H: Patrick, you're wrong you know.
P: Oh, there's a surprise, me being wrong.
H: About not being good enough for me. You are.
P: Are you sure? Or you gonna change your mind when ed comes along?
H: I'm sure. I never realised how vishoius (cant spell) he could be.
P: Well, you should have listed to me-
H: Don't push it. You know when you said you were jelous... sorry, envious of Ed?
P: Yes?
H: Well, that sounded like an apology to me.
P: Nah, cant have been.
H: So, listen umm... do you fancy going for a drink, later, after the shift?
P: Yeah, alright. As long as you're buying.

Lara: Saved by the bleep
Patrick: Kissing's unhygenic anyway
Lara: With you it would be!

Lara's phone rings, flashing idiot on the top. She smiles and looks down, Patrick's car stops in front of her and she goes crashing into it.
P: 'Great!'
L: 'It was your own fault!'
P: 'You crashed into the back of me! You weren't looking where you were going!'
L: 'Because you phoned me! What did you want anyway?'
P: 'I can't remember.'
L: 'Yes you can.'
P: 'No I can't.

They drive off, Comfort 'arr'ing at the couple.

P: 'I know what reference I'd give you. Solid ..'
L: 'Good.'
P: 'Reliable, shows little or no inititive.'
L: 'Well staying here didn't do you any harm did it?'
***
L: 'Will you stop trying to arrange my future!'
P: 'Our future, I want you to come with me!'
L: 'No, yours, you are just ignoring everything I'm saying, that is so typical!'
P: 'Oh, you'd be quite happy to hold me hear wouldn't you?'
L: 'Actually, no Patrick, I wouldn't be quite happy to hold you to anything!'
P: 'What?'
L: 'You heard!'
***
M: 'You know, you're going to make a terrible consultant.'
P: 'Thankyou.'
M: 'You're arrogant, obnoxious and self obinionated, I don't have a clue what Lara sees in u.'
***
P: 'You know, I'm beginning to worry about leaving you here with Max.'
L: 'Why?'
P: 'The man's arrogant, obnoxious and self obinionated and you obviously are attracted to those qualities in a man.'
***
L: 'So, are you going to tell me what all of this is about?'
P: 'I bought the stone for an engagement ring.'
L: 'I see.'
P: 'So, what do you think.'
L: 'It's alright.'
P: 'Come on Lara, it's a stone to die for!'
L: 'And me?'
P: 'What about you?'
L: 'Am I a Stone to die for?'
P: 'I'll tell you when you decide to marry me.'
L: 'You haven't asked me to marry you.'
P: 'Haven't I, oh well that was a waste of a few quid then, wasn't it?'

P: 'Well, your not going to be that kissable in the morning, are you?'
Thet kiss.
***
Patrick and Lara sitting on his sofa. Patrick puts his arm around her, with a piece of paper in his hand.
L: 'What time to you get back?' She asks, angryily stabbing foundation around the bruise on her eye.
P: 'Tomorrow day time. i'm staying in a posh hotel with lovely bar and then I go and have a meeting with the travel agents. A four bedroomed semi with solar pannels. Now how cool is that?'
L: Throws the paper on the floor angrily but doesn't change her expression or what she's doing. 'Cool.'
P: 'Lara, chisix is down the motor way, holby, chisix, two hours.'
L: 'You're going to be a top consultant and have a big house and then you'll meet some rich bint at a party.'
P: 'I don't need a rich bint. Because I'll have some Aussie bint with me.' He takes a box out of his pocket and opens it to reveal a ring.
L: 'You got it set in a ring.' She sighs. 'Patrick I can't leave Holby.'
P: 'Why? What's here?'
L: 'My job.'
P: 'Lara. I'm asking you to marry me again just for once can you make the right noises?'
They kiss.
L: 'Look. I'm going to go back to mine after my shift. Come around when you get back and we'll talk about your solar pannels.'
She stands up, strokes his cheek and leaves.
P: After she's gone. 'Next time. Down on one knee.'
***
P: 'That girl won't forget anything that she saw or heard today.'
L: 'Why? What do you remember?'
P: 'Everything.'
L: 'Doubt it.'
P: 'Try me.'
'L: 'OK. I came and saw you in ITU.'
He nods.
L: And said a few things which I ... didn't mean.
Creastfallen at the fact that she didn't mean the things that she had said he says, so as not to be embarrasssed at being hopeful that she had dumped Craig for him.
P: No, you're right, I can't remember.
Argument with Anna and Phillipa.
L: 'I've got a good mind to report her.
P: Leave it Lara.
L: No I won't. I like involvments. Of both kinds!
***
Max comes in and interrupts Lara and Patrick
