Recap

House drives up to a prison and pays off a waiting cab driver to leave. He then waits until Dr. Hadley is released through the front gates. When she sees him and comes over, House offers her a martini, which she gratefully drinks. They leave in House’s car and he asks why she was in. When Hadley says that she was charged with excessive prescribing, House says that he knows there’s more to it than that...

Episode Quotes
Dr. Hadley: You're married?
Dr. House: You were gone so long.

Dr. Hadley: What's this really all about, House? As convincing as I find your deep devotion to vegetable trajectory.

Dr. Hadley: This interrogation thing is getting annoying.
Dr. House: Studies have shown that un-annoying interrogation is 50% less effective.

Dr. Foreman: I don't know how you do it. Is it the cute, harmless vibe, the self-deprecating humor, or just straight-up roofies?
Dr. Taub: If you're interested, I do seminars.

(as Hadley goes into the bathroom to change)
Dr. House: You know that I'm a doctor. Any interest I have in the human body is purely clinical.
Dr. Hadley: Yeah, that line never works for me.
Dr. House: That line always works for you.

Dr. Taub: I was doing you a solid with the sofa. Rachel wanted to do it in your bed. You've got the memory foam top.
Dr. Foreman: Let's make this really simple. If I own it, I don't want you doing it on it.
Dr. Taub: You might want to get rid of your kitchen table.

(on the phone)
Dr. Hadley: There's another option.
Dr. Foreman: House, who's that?
Dr. House: Radio.
Dr. Foreman: Sounded a lot like Thirteen.
Dr. House: It's a Thirteen Tribute band with their new song, "I've Got a Better Theory Than Masters'."

Dr. House: I'll kill you. When the time comes, if you want me to. I'll do it now if you like. I think I've got a baseball bat in the back.



Cultural References
Dr. House: Hey, Harriet the Spy.

Harriet is the main character in the 1964 children's novel, a 11-year-old snoop who alienates her friends when they find out what she's been writing about them in her diary.
