David Morse: Michael Tritter

Quotes 

• Dr. Allison Cameron : Gonna break out the rubber hoses, the bright lights? I'm not gonna testify just because I have to borrow lunch money.

  Michael Tritter : I know. Women don't give up on guys that they're in love with.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I'm not in love with House.

  Michael Tritter : A guy as unhinged and unethical does what he wants with no concern for others, but you stand by him.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : That can't just be loyality and respect?

  Michael Tritter : No.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I'm a girl, so I must be in love with him.

  Michael Tritter : Not because you're a girl. Because 10 years ago, you got an "A" in calculus until you ratted yourself out, showed your professor a mistake he missed, because you married a man...

  Dr. Allison Cameron : [angry tone]  Don't go there!

  Michael Tritter : You used to be someone who did the right thing. House has changed you. Do you think it's all been for the better?

  [Cameron walks out of the room] 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to Tritter]  My head of Oncology had to shut down. My entire staff are afraid to make a move without covering their ass.

  Michael Tritter : I think you're angry at the wrong person.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You think Dr. Wilson deserved to have his assets seized? His entire practice ruined?

  Michael Tritter : No.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : So, you just don't care?

  Michael Tritter : This is how I get what I want. I put pressure... on people, and if it doesn't work on Wilson, it'll work on you.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You punish the innocent.

  Michael Tritter : None of you are innocent. Not one of you, not one of you has told me the truth about Dr. House.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : The pills allow him to cope with the pain.

  Michael Tritter : No, the pills distort reality. He's an addict.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : He's not out robbing a liquor store or...

  Michael Tritter : Look, he's treating people. He needs to find a different way to cope before he kills somebody, if he hasn't done that already.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : If you're right, he has a medical problem. It should be dealt with by doctors, not by the...!

  Michael Tritter : Well, it's not being dealt with by doctors. Doctors are covering it up. The whole point of the criminal justice system is to make things right when everything else fails. With all due respect, you have failed.
