Quotes 

• Dr. Lawrence Kutner : [when House wants to irradiate a patient]  It's premature, reckless and potentially lethal.

  Dr. Gregory House : True. Must be somebody's job to stop me from being reckless and irresponsible.

  [chuckles] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Nobody can stop me from being premature.

• Dr. Gregory House : [about Thirteen]  No cure then. So: Pros are you might delay the onset of symptoms, give her an extra year maybe three. She's still dead before you're 45. The question is: Are those few years worth risking the rest of your life in medicine?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : [thinks for a moment]  No.

  Dr. Gregory House : There, that wasn't so hard was it?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Thank you.

  Dr. Gregory House : You're welcome.

  [Foreman starts to leave] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Unless you love her.

  [Foreman stops and turns around] 

  Dr. Gregory House : If you love her, you do stupid things.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : I'm not going to play games. If you come to me with a request and it makes medical sense, I'll say yes.

  Dr. Gregory House : I need oral sex. Pretty sure biological imperative qualifies as medical sense.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Can I return my phone call now?

  Dr. Gregory House : I don't really see how that's going to be possible.

• Dr. Gregory House : Why are you smirking?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Never thought I'd see the day you were taking orders from Cameron.

  Dr. Lawrence Kutner : Cameron's in charge?

  Dr. Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley : When did that happen?

  Dr. Lawrence Kutner : You're going to destroy her, aren't you?

• Dr. Gregory House : I'm the last person you'd ever come to for ethical advice, literally - which means you've already asked every other person and no one's given you the answer you want.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Or I respect your opinion and I want to hear what comes to your mind.

• Dr. Gregory House : I can't find you the proof you want because it's trapped inside her head and the only way I can get at it is to cut it open and rip it out, which is apparently the one test you won't let me run. So either I do this or I do nothing.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : What do you want me to do? Say yes just because you're House?

  Dr. Gregory House : I'd certainly like that, yeah.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : [hands the file over House]  Yes.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Cameron]  Love what you're wearing. Brings out the blue of the case file, which means it's not from the ER. So why are you here?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Because Dr. Cuddy is not here. She's decided to spend some more time at home with the baby for a while. I'm taking over some of her day-to-day responsibilities, like babysitting you.

  Dr. Gregory House : Interesting. You have your whole life ahead of you, so why would Cuddy want you to die so young?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : She figured I'd spent three years working for you. I was innoculated.

• Dr. Gregory House : Because that would let Cameron in on the fact that I never intended to do it.

  Dr. Chris Taub : This is going to be convoluted, isn't it?

  Dr. Gregory House : Figured I'd ask her for something really crazy, so she'd shoot me down and get the whole I-can-control-House thing out of her perky little system. So the next time I went back and ask for something marginally crazy, she would see marginally reasonable and she'd say "yes." So yeah, slightly convulted.

  Dr. Chris Taub : We're screwed.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [while on the phone with House as he is opening up a patient's skull]  Insulting me is not going to make me go away.

  Dr. Gregory House : You're not here! Honestly, I'm not trying to make you go away.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Cameron when he wants to do a procedure on the patient]  You wanna say yes. You know you should say yes. But you also think that this job is about standing up to me. But you're not gonna say yes, you're not gonna say no, you're just gonna waste time. And the patient's brain, or pancreas, or whatever is wrong with her is not gonna wait for you to impress your boss. So pick one. Either him or me.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : [to House]  You wanna remove your patient's skull.

  Dr. Gregory House : Remind me to revoke Kutner's telephone privileges.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Cameron]  Cuddy's gonna love you. Patient, on the other hand, is gonna hate you until the day she dies next week. Actually, this idiot will probably forgive you.
