Lucy Brown: Claudia Brown

Quotes 

• Claudia Brown : That's the problem with heroic gestures. Succeed, and you look wonderful. Fail, and all you do is leave the bloody mess for everyone to clear up.

• Professor Nick Cutter : They don't even know what they're looking for.

  Stephen Hart : There can't be that many types of venomous predator under the Aldwych.

  Claudia Brown : You should see the last tube home on a Friday night.

• Claudia Brown : The Forest of Dean is completely clear. I've left Ryan in charge of mopping up. There's been a lot of Internet chatter but we've got natural disbelief on our side.

  James Lester : Eyewitnesses?

  Claudia Brown : The schoolteacher's in shock. I'm positive we can keep her away from the papers. And the boy will be no problem.

  James Lester : Pity the monster didn't eat them both. That would have been the neatest solution.

  [Claudia gives him a look] 

  James Lester : Joke.

• Professor Nick Cutter : So tell me the plan.

  Claudia Brown : What plan? What else can we do?

  Professor Nick Cutter : Well, we could start off by telling everyone the truth.

  Claudia Brown : Ah, no.

  Professor Nick Cutter : Why?

  Claudia Brown : Right now, this is just a rumour mill for Internet conspiracy freaks and we can contain that. The alternatives are panic, hysteria and potential lawlessness. Simply unviable.

  Professor Nick Cutter : A cover up. Connor will be thrilled.

  Claudia Brown : It's not a cover up. Well, okay, it is. But we have to do it.

• Connor Temple : Ok, Carboniferous, so it's probably a Arthropleura. That's an centipede on steroids basically. It's more less blind, and good sense of smell and touch. I mean this thing is pretty big and scary looking, but it's more or less timid. It's the kind of bug that'd stick to the kitchen at parties.

  Claudia Brown : This one must have a personality disorder.
