Quotes 

• Dr. Gregory House : I created a case. I played nice because, I was in a good mood because I didn't hurt.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You don't need your pain to be a good doctor.

  Dr. Gregory House : I'm not interested in good.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You're afraid to be happy.

  Dr. Gregory House : Why do you care if I'm happy?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You're afraid of change. The one thing you have is your intellect. You think if that's compromised, you have nothing.

  [offers House some methadone] 

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Just take it.

  Dr. Gregory House : No.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Don't do this.

  Dr. Gregory House : [throws the methadone in the trash]  It's already done. This is the only me you get.

• Dr. James Wilson : [to Cuddy]  You slept with House. He asked permission before taking my bagel, took the case without a fight, honored the parents' request for an MRI.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Yes, those were my terms for sleeping with him.

  Dr. James Wilson : He's in a good mood.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Sex with me would explain that, but it doesn't explain why I'm not curled up in a ball weeping in shame. I did not have sex with House.

  Dr. James Wilson : If you two aren't keeping something from me, that means he's keeping something from both of us. That can't be good.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to House when she discovers that he is using methadone]  I can't sit by and watch you kill yourself. As long as you're in my hospital, you can't do methadone.

  Dr. Gregory House : [gets up, opens the door and throws a journal in a trash can]  I'll send someone for my stuff.

  [starts to leave the bathroom] 

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : That's it, you're quitting? You're choosing methadone over this job?

  Dr. Gregory House : I'm choosing lack of pain over this job.

  [leaves the bathroom] 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to House]  Where are you going?

  Dr. Gregory House : Nowhere. Staying right here so we can properly discuss this.

  [leaves his office] 

• Dr. James Wilson : Cuddy, he's happy.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : House doesn't do happy. Pain or no pain.

  Dr. James Wilson : Okay, maybe, but he's our friend and this is his one chance to not be miserable.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Did you give House the moron with the broken finger?

  Nurse Helen : They've been in Room 2 about ten minutes.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Patient should've been screaming for another doctor seven minutes ago.

  Ian : [walks into the hallway, wearing a finger splint]  Thanks, bro.
