- [Ric 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 Griffin: So *you* were faking it...
- Ric Griffin: ...And *you* were faking it. And fortunately Jayne Grayson was convinced enough to reach for her cheque book.
- Lola Griffin: You could have told me.
- Ric Griffin: No, it had to be the real deal.
- Lola Griffin: "Plausible deniability", eh?
- Ric Griffin: Something like that.
- Lola Griffin: I really thought you'd sold out.
- Ric Griffin: 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 Griffin: The feeling has been mutual.
- Ric Griffin: 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.
