Interactions.
House and Wilson
House: I need an epiphany.
(... more dialog, House tells him about the PI, Wilson is mad)
Wilson: I have the right to walk away from you. The next time you knock, I'm not answering.
House: Nothing yet, keep talking.
Wilson shuts the door in his face.
House and his team
House: Say it.
Foreman: You were right.
House: God, that was petty of me.
Kutner: Does that PI guy mean we don't have to break into people's homes any more?
House: It's the whole reason you went to medical school. I'm not gonna take that away from you.
House: Did you get the consent?
Taub: No.
House: Tell Foreman to get it. Old people are scared of black people.
House: What did Wilson ever do for me?
Oh, sure. He made me laugh on a rainy day. Made me see the colors I never knew.
(His team is focusing on a case)
On the other hand. Gilbert Godfrie makes me laugh. And how many colors are there really. Once you've got red blue and green...
Kutner: He paid for your lunch, liked monster trucks and was your conscience. Autoimmune disease.
House orders his team around, but when they walk off Foreman remains standing in front of him.
House: Did I forget you?
House and Cuddy
Cuddy: Why are you in my office?
House: To find the anomaly I need to chop off the top of her head. Pretty sure I need your approval for that.
Cuddy: I'm going to trust your first instinct.
House: I'm not usually confused when you say things like that.
Cuddy: So, the next step is what? I say no, and then you do something to make her crash so that I'll think you've proven your theory?
House: I would never do that.
Cuddy: No, you won't.
(House walks into 2 guards that are standing in front of Apple's room – they obviously have been given his description)
House and Lucas
House: What kind of idiot wears argyle socks with construction boots?
Lucas: I'm not an idiot. I'm just not good at disguises.
Lucas: There are two types of people that hire me. No, actually there are three types of people that hire me, but the third type is irrelevant to the point I want to make.
House: Do you have a special rate plan for being a pain in the ass?
Lucas: One type wants to find out that they're right. One type wants to find out that they're wrong.
House: Which type am I?
Lucas: You're the third type. Your type doesn't care if they're right or wrong, because they've hired me to investigate the wrong person. You want me to check out Wilson.
House; How do you know about Wilson?
Lucas: You want to find out if he's pining. You want to find out if there is something about him that will tell you if he's gonna come back. Or something you can use to make him come back.
House: Is there?
Lucas: No...no, there's nothing. Sorry.
House: If she turns her head she will notice we are walking in the wrong direction.
Lucas: No she won't, I'm very non-descript.
House: Well, I'm not!
House: How do you know what they're talking about?
Lucas: I'm in the same grief-counseling group.I recently lost my mother.
House: You get laid more often if you told them you lost a kid.
Lucas: I didn't lose a kid.
House: You're a PI who can't lie?
Lucas: I can lie, I'm just not all that good at it.
House: Lesson one: commit.
House: How many friends do you have?
Lucas: Seventeen.
House: Seriously?
Lucas: No, I knew this conversation was really about you, so I gave you an answer so you could get back to your chain of thought.
House: Well done. I have one. Had one.
Lucas: Friends are important, you're gonna miss...
House: Shut up. Friends allow you to not sit in a room by yourself. You charging me for this?
Lucas: Are we friends?
House: No.
Lucas: Then yes.
House: Want to be my friend?
Lucas: No. You scare me a little
Amount of money House owes Lucas:
2300+900+700+5000 = $4400
House talking to patients
Foreman: I'm sorry. We need to remove your eye.
Apple: My eye?
House: A moment ago you thought you were dying. Blind's actually good news.
Apple: The world is ugly. Do you think the world would be any different if your leg was fine?
House: No.
Apple: Think you would be any different if your leg was fine?
The doctors told me that my life would be so much better once I could see.I would date, I would dance.
But the guys I hated dancing with before, I hated dancing with after. My parents were still dead, I was still alone.
House: You're fun.
Apple: You don't seem all that different.
House: I haven't given up.
House: The world is ugly. People kill. They go hungry. People are asses.
Apple: why are you telling me this?
House: Because the world is not as ugly as you think it is.
(House removes the bandages, and for the first time Apple can see the world as it really is)
House: How do I look?
Apple; You look sad.
Other
Dr. O'Shea: Are you checking me out?
House: You're astute. No.
Dr. O'Shea: How many pills did you just take?
House: Vicodin, opiods, some B12. Need a little kick in the afternoon. You got a problem with that?
(O'Shea shrugs)
House: I think I'm falling in love.
Foreman: We need to remove the eye.
House: It's her only working eye.
Foreman: We could remove the other one, but since it's not killing her, I thought this way was less insane.
House: (to O'Shea) Do you have some ethical problem with what I'm doing that you can express in a unique way which might actually make me think that I'm wrong even though I'll never admit it?
Dr. O'Shea: Yes.
House: You are funny. The problem's not in her eye, it's in her head. You wanna come over and watch Prescription Passion at my place tonight?
Dr. O'Shea: You know I'm not gay, right?
House: Neither am I. If you don't want to have sex, that's cool with me.
Dr. O'Shea: I'm not coming over to your home.
House: I'll grow on you.
Nurse: You ever hear of the boy who cried wolf?Houseisms
House: Never really bought that. I don't care how often the kid cries he's going to be eaten by a wolf, the mom's going to come running.
Or, in this case, good one-liners by others:
Lucas: Only two things you ignore: things that aren't unimportant and things you wish weren't important. And wishing never works.
Foreman: We could remove the other one, but since it's not killing her, I thought this way was less insane.
Taub: What if it is autoimmune?
House: What if we don't have conversations we've already had?
Memorable moments.
- Lucas giving House the information that results in house solving the case (and him talking about Mars)
- Apple lies to Frank's wife in an attempt to save her life (and Taub not backing her up).
- Frank exploding (decomp and intestinal contents) in Foreman's face. (sadly also slightly memorable for its predictability..)
- House messing with the nurse (by frequently pressing the call button).
- House bought (or at least: brought) his team Thai food.
- House walking outside.
- House pays Lucas to switch Apple's meds. (I could have done with only the argyle socks in stead of a verbal confirmation later on!)
