Quotes 

• Dr. James Wilson : [after hearing that House got a present wrapped in green paper]  Irene Adler. Christmas 2001. Sarcoid symptoms, but she didn't respond to methotrexate. I've never seen him so obsessed. He saved her with a last-minute Wegener's diagnosis, but the hours he put in... I thought it would kill him. And then... well, he fell for her, but it was too soon after Stacy and... It sounds silly, but Irene was the one who got away.

  Dr. Lawrence Kutner : Really?

  Dr. James Wilson : No, you idiots. House is just screwing with you.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Wilson]  Oh, I get it. You're trying to get me to prove you wrong, then I'm going to be nice to all my patients all through the holiday season and then Mr. Potter won't steal Tiny Tim's porridge. I'm totally on it.

  Dr. James Wilson : Yeah. That actually is what I'm trying to do and the pathetic part is, it's not gonna work.

  Dr. Gregory House : You're right. I gotta stop being such a jerk.

  [takes Wilson's dessert] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Oops, kind of undercut myself there.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : He doesn't want us to treat her.

  Dr. James Wilson : If it's leukemia, even if we kill every cancer cell, her heart and liver are too far gone.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : A double transplant...

  Dr. James Wilson : With brain involvement? The committee won't even open the file. There's no reason to put a dying girl through a painful treatment if we can't save her. He's being kind.
