Episode Quotes
(to Chase)
Dr. House: Cameron get your hair in the divorce?

Dr. House: Yes, he won't tell us anything. Understandable, since he's a drug dealer.
Dr. Hadley: So he's dangerous and withholding, which you find irresistible. But guys like that, they never call.

Dr. Hadley: So now he's not only a drug dealer, he's a cocaine dealer.
Dr. House: He seemed peppy.

Dr. Wilson: Everyone in our building thinks we're gay.
Dr. House: We're grown men over the age of 30 who moved in together. We're two tigers away from an act in Vegas. They'll figure out we're straight eventually.
Dr. Wilson: Eventually is not when I want to go out with the cute girl in 3-b.

Dr. House: I heard that you think Wilson and I like to polish each other's swords. And by swords, I mean... pistols.

Dr. Wilson: I ran into Nora this morning. She told me about your Evita listening party.
Dr. House: The London and New York recordings are so different.
Dr. Wilson: You were supposed to tell her that we're straight.
Dr. House: She didn't believe me, either.
Dr. Wilson: You're doing this to mess with me.
Dr. House: Correction--I started doing this to mess with you. Now I'm honestly trying to hit that.

Dr. Wilson: That's... quite a commitment you've made to jumping the girl I want to date.
Dr. House: I'd like to date her. In the sense that I'd like to jump her repeatedly.
Dr. Wilson: I saw her first.
Dr. House: Seriously? You're invoking the guy code?
Dr. Wilson: We're guys. It's a code.

(to Hadley)
Dr. House: That receiver doesn't respond to manual stimulation. Maybe if you took off your shirt.
Dr. Hadley: Actually, I resorted to something more exotic. I call it reading the instructions.

Dr. Foreman: I don't see how this is relevant.
Dr. House: In the land of no fun, you got a really sensible piece of property.

(to House)
Dr. Wilson: I love this man! And I am not wasting another moment of my life denying that. Gregory House... will you marry me?
Dr. House: Wow. This is unexpected.

Dr. Cuddy: Well, someone does something stupid and insensitive I always figure it was House. Good to know it's catching.

Dr. House: This whole thing with Wilson... it's all my fault. We're not closeted, because we're not gay. For real. Wilson thought you were cute, and I was just yanking his chain. Maybe that's not the best phrasing.
Nora: So you were only spending time with me to screw with him?
Dr. House: God, no. I was spending time with you because I want to touch your boobs. Enough to listen to Evita, twice. And I really hate Evita. That's how much I like your boobs.

Dr. Wilson: Ran into Nora in the elevator. She no longer thinks we're gay. Now she thinks we're mendacious dirtbags.
Dr. House: Mendacious dirtbag comes much more naturally to me.



Cultural References
Dr. House: Hmm... works for Jack Bauer.

House is referring to another FOX show, 24. Jack Bauer tends to get most of information by shouting at suspects, much as House does here.



Episode References
Thirteen's middle name is revealed as Beauregard.
