Quotes 

• Dr. Gregory House : You wake up in the morning, your paint's peeling, your curtains are gone and the water is boiling. Which problem do you deal with first?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : House!

  Dr. Gregory House : None of them! The building's on fire!

• Dr. Gregory House : [snatches the black marker back from Foreman who was writing on the whiteboard]  Sorry, there's a reason they call it the whiteboard. It's not my rule. What ties both of these conditions together?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : [the others can't come up with anything that ties the two conditions together]  OK, we can all stare at each other or we can investigate what caused the heart failure. Just the heart failure. You wanna give me that black marker?

• Dr. Eric Foreman : [to Cameron]  So I hear you don't want teenagers having sex. Teen suicide rate isn't high enough for you already?

• Dr. Eric Foreman : I say we assume House was right about the anaphylaxis...

  Dr. Gregory House : It is tempting.

• Barbara Bardach : [to Foreman about Melinda]  You know, this is hard enough without you...

  Dr. Eric Foreman : She asked my opinion.

  Barbara Bardach : She is 16 years old. Lie to her.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : When I was eight, my mom. She... she hated...

  Barbara Bardach : I know, I... I need to loosen up. I'm overprotective, I saw "Finding Nemo." I get it, I don't need another story.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : You're not just being overprotective. You're one of the most overprotective parents I've ever seen.

  Barbara Bardach : She has the best private tutors. I let her friends visit. I'm not going to apologize.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Just giving you my thoughts.

  Barbara Bardach : She almost died three times during her childhood: penicillin, bee stings, peanuts.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I've seen her file.

  Barbara Bardach : Six months ago, we leave her home alone for the first time on a weekend. She goes out, buys one chocolate chip cookie, peanut butter in the dough. She's forgotten her epi-pen, she drives to the hospital, passes out, has an accident. Steering wheel crushed her chest. She ended up losing her heart. So when you say to me that I'm one of the most overprotective parents you've seen, please, please introduce me to the ones who were more protective so that I can find out what they're doing right.
