Quotes 

• Dr. Robert Chase : File says he's a Real Estate Developer. Could've been exposed to something visiting a construction site.

  Martha Masters : He's lying.

  [Everyone stares at Masters] 

  Martha Masters : He's not an executive. I saw his hands. There covered with calluses and cuts. He works with them - a lot.

  Dr. Gregory House : Stand up.

  [Masters slowly rises. House hugs her] 

  Martha Masters : Oh.

  Dr. Gregory House : Our little girl is finally growing up. I mean you dream of this day, and when it finally happens... So what did Mr. Meathook say when you called him a liar?

  Martha Masters : I didn't.

  Dr. Gregory House : Baby steps. Go down there and do it.

• Martha Masters : I put making friends and having relationships on hold so I could concentrate on studying. I always thought, there'll be plenty of time for that in the future... but now - when I do want them - I can't even get a date to this charity event. If I can't establish a relationship in my personal life, how will I ever do it with a patient?

  Dr. Robert Chase : ...Be honest with her. If it comes down to a choice between the brutal truth and hope: side with hope.

• Martha Masters : We need to ask you a few questions. Alone, if you don't mind... Uh, they tend to be personal in nature...

  Diane : I'm his wife. I can probably answer them better than he can.

  Martha Masters : They're about his job.

  Diane : Well, what does that matter? He sits in an office all day.

  Bert : Honey, take a break. It's okay.

  Diane : No! Seriously, if there's something really wrong with him, I want to know about it.

  Martha Masters : It's not...

  Dr. Robert Chase : Our questions are about what he eats for lunch at work and what comes out at the end. Bowel movements mostly. Color, texture, smell.

  Diane : Okay.

  Bert : Pretty sure you can't help with that.

  Diane : Maybe I could use a break.

  [to Chase] 

  Diane : Thank you for your honesty.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You're welcome.

• Diane : Can he hear me?... They say that - that people in comas can still do that?

  Martha Masters : Sometimes. But your husband's hearing... is fine.

• Martha Masters : Taub and Foreman done? I'm hitching a ride with them.

  Dr. Robert Chase : Me, too.

  Martha Masters : You're not picking up your date?

  Dr. Robert Chase : No, going solo. All those meaningless relationships tend to wear a guy out after a while.
