Quotes 

• Dr. Gregory House : Hey, I don't care where an idea comes from as long as it makes sense and embarrasses someone.

• Dr. Gregory House : I don't need to see the scan. I can tell from your little puppy dog eyes that his pituitary's fine. Are you gonna say it or should I?

  Dr. Chris Taub : You were right about the steroids. You're a genius.

  Dr. Gregory House : Next time with feeling.

• Dr. Gregory House : Okay, why don't you tell me my real evil plan.

  Dr. James Wilson : I don't think there's an evil plan. You regret not having a relationship with your own family and you don't want to see Foreman go down that same path. I think you're actually being nice.

  Dr. Gregory House : Oh, shut up! You can't accuse me of an opossum attack and underhanded kindness in the same visit.

  Dr. James Wilson : I'll leave.

• Dr. James Wilson : [to House]  Are you out of your mind?

  Dr. Gregory House : As a former psychiatric patient, I take offense at that terminology.

• Dr. Gregory House : I get it, you're busy. You'll pick him up the next time he comes out of prison.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Is that all?

  Dr. Gregory House : You're officially unbusy. Family is family. Take the rest of the day. Go see your brother.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I have work to do.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Marcus]  Wow. You got off easy.

  Marcus Foreman : Easy for you. Easy for me. No* easy for Eric. His life mission became to never disappoint our mother like that again because he is a good guy. Thought he would tell that story at the eulogy. Heard he didn't give one.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Daryl]  You know why you're black?

  Daryl : 'Cause God loves me more than he loves you?

• Dr. Gregory House : Why would you out yourself? You can't even imagine the retribution.

  Lucas Douglas : Oh, there won't be any. I am ceasing all offensive operations. I have both made my point and established my superiority. And if you even get to the planning stages of retaliation, I will tell Cuddy that she lost her dream place to you two. See, she's under this odd impression that you guys are her friends.

• Daryl : Why bother? I missed my shot.

  [sighs] 

  Daryl : What kind of life am I gonna lead now?

  Dr. Gregory House : Did you study really, really hard? Then the same crappy life the rest of the guys you'll be graduating with are gonna lead, minus the student loans.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to a patient]  I gave you a choice between moving to Canada and shooting yourself in the foot and you chose the bullet?

• Jim Dunnagan : [as House is examining a patient]  I'm seeing spots.

  Dr. Gregory House : Or you enlisted, you got the cool haircut and the awesome pants, then you realized that your plane ticket to the Middle East was coach and you decided to rethink your promise.

  Jim Dunnagan : No. I've already been there; three deployments. Now they want me to go again, but my wife's pregnant.

  Dr. Gregory House : So our homeland should be unsafe because your private was unsafe.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Jim]  Well, back in my day, the real dodgers had the stones to run up to Canada or shoot themselves in the foot. They didn't come to free clinics whining for doctors' notes. Go hug your wife. Tell her to get a babysitter. You'll be back in time to video the kid's first steps.
