Episode Quotes
Dr. Foreman: Put the phone on the receiver, send the hookers home, and get dressed. We've got a case.

Dr. Wilson: The door was closed for a reason.
Dr. House: Now it's open for a reason. We need to talk.

Dr. Foreman: Why were you talking to the patient?
Dr. House: I think skinless women are hot.

Dr. Chase: Cameron kept her dead husband's sperm.
Dr. Foreman: She doesn't like yours?
Dr. Chase: She likes his better. Or at least she wants to hang onto it in case mine is unfaithful or something.

Dr. House: Wilson, get out.
Dr. Wilson: Are you sure?
Dr. House: Do I need your approval to throw you out?

Dr. House: The problem with speculation is, you make a spec out of you and some guy named "lation." Which doesn't really affect me at all.

Dr. Wilson: House, it's your only option.
Dr. House: What do I do if my only option won't work?
Dr. Wilson: You don't give up.

Dr. Cuddy: You want to kiss me, don’t you?
Dr. House: I always want to kiss you.
