Quotes 

• Dr. Eric Foreman : We should test for the 21st century suspects. Varicella, measles...

  Dr. Gregory House : You're free to perform whatever unnecessary tests you want, Foreman. Slavery was abolished years ago.

• Dr. Gregory House : We gave it to him. Where's Chase?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : You do realize we don't all live together, right?

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, then just... we gave it to him. No pustules on the daughter's palms, so...

  Dr. Chris Taub : So therefore, your theory is you asked me to take the dad's blood, but I accidentally injected him with smallpox.

  Dr. Gregory House : Exactly, although technically, it was the vaccinia virus which is what the smallpox vaccine is made from. Same symptoms as smallpox, but only half the calories and almost none of the lethality.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : You sound like one of those anti-vaccine cranks. You can't develop full-blown symptoms from the vaccine this quickly.

  Dr. Gregory House : You can if you're immunocompromised. Am I the only one who reads these things?

  Dr. Gregory House : Dad had kidney cancer.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Six years ago. He's been in remission.

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, it's obviously back. Shot his immune system, made him vulnerable to the vaccinia which will get better on interferon. So if he responds to the treatment, that proves he doesn't have smallpox.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Then what does the daughter have?

  Dr. Gregory House : Damn. I was hoping you weren't gonna ask me that. Can we please just focus on the disease we just diagnosed and can treat?

• Martha Masters : Would it kill us to talk it through?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Kill us? No. Save House? Also no.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : It's the middle of the night in the Netherlands. Nobody's working.

  Dr. Gregory House : Oh, you can always find someone.

  Geerte : Oh, yes. My name is Geerte. Are you handsome sexiest American man?

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, you know, some people... I would say that I am, yeah. I want you to translate something for me.

  Geerte : Why you want I translate? I do topless, toys, and...

• Martha Masters : So we just give up and go home?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Actually, somebody locked the front door, but, yeah, we... give up.
