Dr. Wilson: So I take it you did not ask Cuddy out.
Dr. House: Yeah.
Dr. Wilson: Yeah “I didn’t” or yeah “I did”?
Dr. House: Whichever one means you almost had me convinced it was a good idea.
Dr. Wilson: Oh.

Dr. Foreman: Kutner can do the echo on his own.
Dr. House: Yes… but he’ll be very lonely.

Dr. Foreman: He didn’t need to say no. He just wanted to say no.
Dr. Cuddy: House did something solely out of self-interest. That’s freaky.

Dr. Foreman: I've looked down one end and up the other. All the tests came back clean. I can't figure this out.
Dr. Cameron: You can't? Don't you work with three other doctors and a grouchy gimp?
Dr. Foreman: This isn't House's case.

Dr. Wilson: You made the decision. I can't tell you what's right for you.
Dr. House: Seriously? 'Cause last week you could. Last year you could. Seems to come pretty easy to you.
Dr. Wilson: Do you want me to tell you what you should do?
Dr. House: I want you to stop thinking that acting inscrutable makes you anything other than annoying.

Dr. House: Your disengagement won't work.
Dr. Wilson: I can see that.
Dr. House: You think that when you tell me what I should do my instincts are to push back, so that by not telling me what I should do, I'll do what you think I should do.
Dr. Wilson: I sound convoluted.
Dr. House: Disengagement is neither artful nor effective.
Dr. Wilson: So my not doing anything isn't causing you to do anything?
Dr. House: Right.
Dr. Wilson: I'm okay with that.

Dr. House: Our job is to find out what’s killing patients, not treat them for chronic idiocy.
Dr. Hadley: Idiocy is what’s killing her.
Dr. House: And since we can’t cure that, I’m going home.

(Foreman gets up and leaves)
Dr. Chase: I think we gave him an idea.
Dr. Cameron: Either that or he's off to kill House.

Dr. Wilson: Nice thing you did for Foreman.
House: He speaks!
Dr. Wilson: He deflects.
