Quotes
-
Dr. Eric Foreman : [to House about Brennan] You're just gonna let him go?
Dr. Gregory House : Absolutely. I'm gonna let him get as far away as possible before you call the cops. Guy's a nut job. Who the hell did I leave in charge?
Taub : Foreman.
Dr. Gregory House : There was a reason for that. Next time, listen to him.
-
Taub : What do we do?
Dr. Eric Foreman : I don't know yet.
Dr. Jeffrey 'Big Love' Cole : She needs treatment.
Dr. Amber Volakis : This is a test, right? You're reporting back to him everything we do.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Yeah, and I asked the patient to be uncooperative. Personally, I think she overplayed it.
Dr. Travis Brennan : [to Foreman] She's being uncooperative because you made us all look like idiots.
Dr. Eric Foreman : We're only gonna look like idiots if we can't figure out how to get her to agree to the treatment.
Dr. Jeffrey 'Big Love' Cole : What would House do right now?
Thirteen : Pop a pill, insult us and trick the patient.
Dr. Lawrence Kutner : We can do that last part. She's never met House before, has she? Who's got a cane?
Dr. Eric Foreman : House isn't here. We're not gonna act like him.

Dr. Lawrence Kutner : [while going over the patient's test results] Okay, drum roll. LP is negative for meningitis. Sorry, Cole.
[Cole bites his lower lip and nods his head]
Dr. Lawrence Kutner : [to Thirteen] Fat pad biopsy is... Oh, wait for it...
[slowly opens the results]
Dr. Lawrence Kutner : ... negative for amyloidosis! And Thirteen goes down.
Dr. Jeffrey 'Big Love' Cole : Could we hurry this up? My son has...
Dr. Amber Volakis : Can I have a kid too? I'm working too hard.
Taub : I could hook you up.
Dr. Amber Volakis : If I had two minutes and some anti-nausea meds, I'd take you up on that.
-
Dr. Travis Brennan : It's not botulism. It's polio.
Taub : Brilliant. We should search her home for FDR's remains or a time machine.
-
Dr. Amber Volakis : It's lupus.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Weakly. Not lupus, it's MS.
Taub : We obviously don't know what it is. Treat for both.
Dr. Eric Foreman : No. I gave in on the test. We're not treating her for two completely separate diseases because you think lupus will win you a prize.
-
Taub : [after the patient ends up paralyzed when she was given medicine] Steroids don't cause paralysis.
Dr. Eric Foreman : She was also on interferon! Giving her both probably fried her immune system. Who knows what infection you could cause...?
Dr. Amber Volakis : We consulted an immunologist. She said we have...
Dr. Eric Foreman : She? You talking about Dr. Cameron?
Taub : She thought lupus was...
Dr. Eric Foreman : She tell you to start treating?
Thirteen : Yes, they've ignored you. They screwed up and it's fun watching you spank them, but can we get back to the medicine?
Dr. Eric Foreman : The last thing any of you give a damn about is the medicine! Look, I'm not saying you're bad doctors or bad people, but House is. He created a nasty little cutthroat world, planted you in it and is watching you play. And none of it works for anyone except him.
Dr. Amber Volakis : And whoever wins.
-
Dr. Eric Foreman : I'm sorry. I was stubborn and arrogant.
Dr. Travis Brennan : Self-recriminations won't help her.
Thirteen : Nothing's gonna help her. She's got polio.
Dr. Amber Volakis : There's no cure, but there are treatments.
Dr. Eric Foreman : She's dying.
Taub : Yeah. Every death's a tragedy. Funny how you weren't so depressed when she was just dying because me and Amber screwed up.
Dr. Eric Foreman : And I'm also self-centered. Thanks for clarifying.
Dr. Lawrence Kutner : Don't forget self-pitying.
-
Dr. Amber Volakis : Twenty-month-old baby, persistent rash, fever...
Dr. Gregory House : [cuts her off] Too much crying.
Taub : Female college student with...
Dr. Gregory House : [cuts him off] Too much drama.
Dr. Eric Foreman : You don't care about the crying or the drama 'cause you won't see the patient. And you'd treat Methuselah if his snot had an interesting color. It means you've already decided which case you wanna take next.
