Ruth Kearney: Jess Parker

Quotes 

• James Lester : [Stuck in traffic]  A route Jess, any route, just find a way to get me out of here.

  Jess Parker : You might want to invest in a sat-nav.

  James Lester : Why bother when I've got you?

  Jess Parker : [sighs to herself]  You've had two calls from the cabinet office.

  James Lester : Oh, Yes? what do they want?

  Jess Parker : Something about a knighthood. They want to set up a meeting with you, something about a vetting process.

  James Lester : Well? What are you waiting for? Get my PA to set it up as soon as possible and find me that route out here fast. Sorry, you did say a knighthood?

  Jess Parker : Yes. Anything else you need that's not in my job description?

  James Lester : [Hangs up]  Sir James Lester... Hmm

• Jess Parker : The creature took Conner!

  James Lester : Yes, I heard that the first time. What are you doing about it? Look, at the risk of sounding a tad self involved this better not screw up my knighthood. Matt will find him, don't worry. If you were an insect, would you want to eat Conner?

• James Lester : Jess, there's a man missing. Talk of him being snatched by some kind of creature. Do we have an anomaly?

  Jess Parker : No. That does sound like an incursion. Just intercepted emergency calls. I've sounded the alert. I'm going to send a team out now.

  James Lester : Good. And yeah, you'd better send a helicopter for me, I I really can't afford to be late for this meeting.

• James Lester : What's this?

  Jess Parker : Satellite image, ground-penetrating radar. This creature's been here a long time.

  James Lester : Ay-yi-yi.

  Jess Parker : It stretches for miles and intercepts with every man-made tunnel and natural cave system under the city.

  James Lester : Ugh. Lucky I've just sanctioned its extermination, then. This would have to happen on the day I'm being vetted for a knighthood.

  Jess Parker : Yeah, some creatures just have no sense of occasion, do they?
