Ben Miller: James Lester

Quotes 

• James Lester : You're in charge, until we can make a permanent appointment.

  Jenny Lewis : Are you sure you want me to take over?

  James Lester : If I wasn't, I wouldn't ask.

  [pause] 

  James Lester : Don't expect a pay rise. I could probably swing you a parking space.

• Christine Johnson : There is nothing here that in anyway threatens the integrity of the ARC operation. I give you my word on that. And the Minister's.

  James Lester : Do you know, I can't tell you how much that reassures me. You've got a little bit of a hotline to the Minister, haven't you? I saw your suggestions for Cutter's replacement. One thing in common, military uniforms. Have you got a little bit of a thing for them?

  Christine Johnson : We're all on the same side, James. We have to trust each other.

  James Lester : No, I don't think either of us got where we are by trusting anyone.

  Christine Johnson : The military have a significant role to play in the fight against the anomalies. I'm sure you appreciate that James.

  James Lester : You're not getting anywhere near the ARC operation. You want to trust me on something? Trust me about that.

• James Lester : I spoke to Christine Johnson.

  Jenny Lewis : Oh? Did she tell you anything?

  James Lester : No. I didn't expect her to.

  Jenny Lewis : I see.

  James Lester : She's definitely up to something. And I'm going to find out what, have no fear of that. You think the creatures are frightening, Jenny, you should try the civil service.
