Recap

Artist Brandon is painting a nude as the model’s husband looks on encouragingly. The couple looks at the painting and the husband demands his money back.

Episode Quotes
Lucas: Hey, I like the shoes, by the way.
Dr. Cuddy: Thank… you.
Dr. House: You don’t like her shoes. You like her legs.
Lucas: It sound less creepy if you say shoes.
Dr. House: Less creepy, more gay.
Lucas: That’s my firm’s motto.

Thirteen: Did you run a credit check on me?
Dr. House: That would be illegal. Interestingly enough, paying somebody to run it for me, though…

Dr. Taub: You’ve discovered that one of us has been hiding the ability to stretch or shrink themselves?
Dr. House: No. I would never out someone’s super-powers.

Dr. Kutner: Wait, your wife's doing the doorman in your bed, and they're sweating all over the sheets that you paid for, and you...
Dr. Taub: My wife’s not doing the doorman.
Dr. Kutner: How do you know?
Dr. Taub: We don’t have a doorman.

Thirteen: Drugs? How many trials are you on?
Brandon: Three.
Dr. House: Admirable. Not many idiots have that much ambition.

Brandon: You going to tell Heather?
Dr. House: Couldn’t, even if I cared enough to want to.

Dr. House: You want my advice?
Dr. Taub: Of course not.
Dr. House: Good, ‘cause I have no idea what you should do.

(House proposes a theory in differential, everyone looks at Foreman)
Dr. House: Why are you looking at him?
Dr. Foreman: Try it out.
Dr. House: You heard the boss. Go!

Lucas: I like her, I don’t wanna do her.
Dr. House: Then what’s the point of liking her?

Dr. House: Your marriage is like a broken toaster. Bread keeps popping up, you keep calling it toast. Which is weird, because you put your bread in a lot of toasters, and apparently you don’t see any difference. It’s kind of fascinating.

Dr. House: You know, people hate people who have theories about people.
