Quotes 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : HR can't find you a new supervisor.

  Dr. Gregory House : How come?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Because you're unsuperviseable, House. Two department chairs threatened to quit.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : If I confirm it, can we leave?

  Dr. Gregory House : Yes.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : It's true.

  [pause. Cuddy gives House a quick kiss] 

  Dr. James Wilson : I've been more passionate with my great-aunt.

  Dr. Gregory House : Mabel? Up high!

  [House raises his right hand. Pause. Cuddy grabs the front of House's pants] 

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : We done here?

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : That fight... it was the first honest interaction you and I have had since we came back to work. If we are painfully, brutally honest with each other, maybe we'll get lucky again.

  Dr. Gregory House : You've got a big ass.

• Ernest : Now, how would you describe the exact nature of the relationship?

  Dr. Gregory House : Have you ever seen Wild Kingdom? Those insects that rip their partners' heads off after copulating.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : It's a sexual relationship.

  Dr. Gregory House : Go slowly now. He's writing it down.

• Dr. Gregory House : This is screwing me up. Why is it not screwing you up?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : It is... I don't know why I okayed you foaming that lung. I realized it was wrong as soon as I said it.

  Dr. Gregory House : I knew it! I knew cause you tilted your head.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : House... we are screwing this up. I'm gonna call HR. Find someone else to supervise you as soon as I can.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : France. And not Paris or the Riviera. But there's this place in Normandy. It's on a tidal island. Everyone who's not staying in one of the small inns has to leave before the tide comes in. You have this 900-year-old fortress all to yourself. It's called...

  Dr. Gregory House : Mont-Saint-Michel.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I believe that I can still supervise Dr. House effectively, but we both want to follow hospital policy to the letter.

  Ernest : Our concern is to make sure that there's no conflict of interest, no liability for the hospital...

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You think we're gonna sue if things go south?

  Dr. Gregory House : Let me tell you, she actually does go...

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : House. Let him talk.

• Ernest : Are there any supervisory issues with Dr. House's current caseload?

  Dr. Gregory House : Nope. Current case is solved. Patient has long QT, we're gonna scare her into a cardiac arrest to confirm.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : No, we're not.

  Dr. Gregory House : Okay. No, we're not. See? Everything is under control.

• Dr. Gregory House : She's bleeding to death, out of her lung. I want to fill a quarter of it with foam. That'd stop the bleeding, all right. Thought it made more sense than diet and exercise. And if she doesn't have enough lung function left, you'll have killed her. The only alternative is slowly suturing the lung, hoping the bleeding stops in time and she doesn't die on her own. But we would walk away with clean hands. Except for all the blood.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You're right. Faster and riskier is better. Foam the lung.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You got a green light?

  Dr. Gregory House : No. Suture the lung.
