Episode Quotes
Dr. House: So it’s a bleed, clot, tumor, metabolic or infection. Stick him in a CT.
Dr. Cameron: Can’t.
Dr. House: I’m assuming he has a giant head.

Dr. House: Anybody can hate humanity after getting shot. Takes a big man to hate it beforehand.

Dr. Cuddy: I know this is awkward, but we need to talk.
Dr. House: There’s a reason that we’ve evolved a feeling of awkwardness. It tells us not to talk about things.

Dr. Cuddy: Thank you.
Dr. House: Any time you want to stop kissing, I’m there for you.

Dr. Cameron: What did Cuddy want?
Dr. House: I kinda hit that last night, so now she’s all on my jock.
Dr. Hadley: Wow, she looks pretty good for someone on roofies.

Dr. Wilson: You hit? Like making out or full-on sex, or…
Dr. House: Got a chart laid out with all the bases. I’ll take you through it.

Dr. Wilson: She’s your boss.
Dr. House: So now I have two reasons to ignore her.

Dr. House: Hey, speaking of breathing hard, Cameron, you engaged to Chase yet?
Dr. Hadley: Sorry, we should have clarified. We’re calling about the patient, not Dr. Cameron’s love life.
Dr. Cameron: We’re aren’t engaged. Moves things along much faster if you just give him the answers.

Dr. House: Interesting.
Dr. Cameron: You would have said interesting no matter what the answer.
Dr. House: And no matter what the answer, it would’ve been interesting.

Dr. Wilson: Everything else good?
Dr. Cuddy: Uh, everything involving me kissing House is good. Oh God, you dragged it out of me. You’re a genius. It’s no big deal. I was feeling vulnerable. He’s a friend. And I leaned on him.
Dr. Wilson: It’s funny. I’ve leaned on friends in the past. Never learned so far my tongue fell into their mouths.

Dr. Cuddy: The benefit of being boss is that I don’t have to argue.

Dr. Wilson: It’s like the red badge of idiocy.
Dr. House: If the Confederacy had mosquitoes, we’d all have Southern accents and I’d be paying Foreman less.

House: (on the telephone) Foreman, listen to that little voice in your head that’s coming from the telephone. Force-feed him!

Dr. Wilson: You're not staying here.
Dr. House: Oh, come on.
Dr. Wilson: Nope. You can go home. Or, you're going to Cuddy's, you're gonna ring her doorbell and you're gonna ask her out on a date like regular people do.
Dr. House: At three in the morning? When do regular people sleep?
Dr. Wilson: Buh-bye.

Dr. House: I am not imagining things.
Dr. Wilson: House, you're a drug addict. You're always imagining things.
