Episode Quotes

Dr. Hadley: Retinal vein occlusion was fixed. Her doctor said it was a venous anomaly
Dr. House: Is he in this room? Because if he's not, I don't care what he thinks. Unless he's a she and she was there last night too, in which case I care very deeply.
Dr. House: Thirteen, go stick a needle in your girlfriend’s pelvis. And no, that one wasn’t a metaphor. Suck out some marrow. That one was.
Dr. Hadley: I can handle this alone.
Dr. House: You’ve already handled it. That’s why you need a chaperone. Of course, I’m a very permissive understanding chaperone. So feel free to ignore me. You know, if you’re in the mood to start kissing, or groping, or showering.
Dr. Hadley: You’ll have to excuse Dr. House. He mistakes immaturity for edginess.
Spencer: You’re Dr. House?
Dr. House: I assume my name came up last night in the form of a moan?
Dr. Foreman: There are ways to getting to know people without committing felonies.
Dr. House: People interest me, conversations don’t.
Dr. Foreman: Because conversations go both ways.
Dr. House and Dr. Foreman: Like Thirteen.

Dr. House: I haven’t sat on this couch for four months. It remembers my cheeks.
Dr. Wilson: House, you are a drug addict. You go to prostitutes. You can’t be judgmental.
Dr. House: And yet…
(talking about Wilson)
Dr. House: He’s an idiot with a messiah complex. Savior to all who need saving. That’s why his first wife had a wooden leg. Second wife was Canadian.
Spencer: How long do you have?
Dr. Hadley: Maybe a little more than you. Maybe a little less. I’ll race you.
Dr. Foreman: Do you think… I’m boring?
Dr. Chase: Yes.
Dr. Foreman: You’re saying that just to screw with me.
Dr. Chase: Yeah. Why would you expect anything else?
Dr. Foreman: I expect House to pull my string, I expect Cameron to make me feel better, I expect the new team to kiss my ass, and I expect you to be honest, ‘cause you don’t give a crap.
Dr. Chase: Yes, you’re boring. That speech was boring.
Dr. Foreman: Thanks so much.
Dr. Wilson: I’m actually kind of insulted. No way I’m a drug addict, but you completely buy that I fell in love with a prostitute?

Dr. House: Another life saved by girl-on-girl action.
