Quotes
-
Michael Tritter : [to House] I spoke with the DA. He agreed to two months in a rehab facility in exchange for a guilty plea.
Dr. Gregory House : Get out of my office.
Dr. James Wilson : No jail time.
Dr. Gregory House : Right, so I should get locked up in some place I don't belong in order to avoid getting locked up in some other place I don't belong.
-
Dr. James Wilson : [to House] You punched out an employee, you nearly cut a little girl in half because you were too strung out...
Dr. Gregory House : I was in pain! You need to believe that I've got a problem so that your betrayal has the illusion of nobility, but you just selfishly...
Michael Tritter : Knock it off. Look, I don't care why Dr. Wilson is doing this and right now, it makes no difference to you either. You need to deal with the reality of your current situation. You want to stand on principle, you end up in a cell and you end up never practicing medicine again. So you got two choices: your principles or your life.
Dr. Gregory House : Get out of my office.
Michael Tritter : [shakes his head] The DA put a clock on the deal. You got three days to decide.
-
Dr. James Wilson : [to Tritter] I can't testify. Drug addicts hurt the people around them with their habit.
Michael Tritter : House has hurt plenty of people. You included.
Dr. James Wilson : He saves lives, people that no one else can save and no matter how much of an ass he is. Statistically, House is a positive force in the universe. Pills let him do that.
Michael Tritter : Vicodin does not make House a genius. Whatever he does on the pills, he can do off. He is just not willing to try.
Dr. James Wilson : I won't testify against him.
Michael Tritter : Then we'll subpoena you, your previous statement will be read into evidence and you'll be charged with interfering with an investigation, and you will go to jail.
Dr. James Wilson : Again, statistically better me than him.
Michael Tritter : Statistically, the two of you will be in jail.
