Quotes 

• Stacy Warner : What are you hiding?

  Dr. Gregory House : [sarcastically]  I'm gay. Oh, that's not what you meant. It does explain a lot though. No girlfriend, always with Wilson, obsession with sneakers...

• Stacy Warner : If Chase screwed up so badly, why didn't you fire him?

  Dr. Gregory House : He has great hair.

• Stacy Warner : Leave the blackmail out of the story you tell the committee.

  Dr. Gregory House : I tried to leave it out of the story I told you.

• Stacy Warner : That's how you tell this guy he's dying?

  Dr. Gregory House : Oh relax. He's got a cold, and soon, health insurance.

• Stacy Warner : Where's Chase?

  Dr. Gregory House : He's too busy to service you until after work. I've got a couple of minutes, though. Feel free to say something like, "What'll we do with the time left over?"

• Stacy Warner : [to Chase]  As your lawyer, I can't stop you from lying. I can't even be in the room, but I would be remiss if I didn't prep you to lie better.

• [Stacy interrupts House while with a patient] 

  Stacy Warner : I need to talk to you.

  Dr. Gregory House : From the doorway?

  Stacy Warner : It's confidential.

  Dr. Gregory House : Cool. I love gossip!

• Stacy Warner : Why did Chase screw up?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : He forgot to ask her a question. Does there need to be a reason?

  Stacy Warner : It might help him.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : As far as I'm concerned, he made a little mistake. It happens.

  Stacy Warner : How far are you concerned?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : You think I'm biased?

  Stacy Warner : You're colleagues. You've worked together for over a year and everyone says you slept together.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Who says?

  Stacy Warner : The correct answer is: "We're not involved and I'm not biased."

  Dr. Allison Cameron : We're not involved and I don't know why he messed up. House has worked with him longer than I have. You should talk to House.

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to Stacy]  Hey! Speak to Chase and House yet? The disciplinary hearing.

  Stacy Warner : The McGinley case. That's not for two weeks.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Tomorrow. Scheduling disaster. You don't want to hear it. You gotta get the boys' okay to move the hearing up, and you gotta do that whole legal advice thing.

  Stacy Warner : Would you ask someone else?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I'm asking you.

  Stacy Warner : Let me work with Chase. House should have separate counsel.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Stop looking for whatever you're looking for. For the last month, House has been crowing that you can't work with him because you're just swooning in love.

  Stacy Warner : There is nothing approaching love in what I feel about him right now.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Well, if you can't work with him, it amounts to the same thing.

  Stacy Warner : [sighs]  We had a fight. It's awkward. Why not use another lawyer?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Because 40% of our lawsuits last year were about House. You can't work with him, you can't work here.

• Stacy Warner : [to Foreman]  Why did Chase screw up?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Because he doesn't give a crap about patients.

• Stacy Warner : [to House]  Two questions: why did Chase screw up and how bad was it?

  Dr. Gregory House : Wow. Talk about efficient. I only need one answer: Chase didn't screw up.

  Stacy Warner : He said he did.

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, I'm not a lawyer, but that seems like a sucky legal strategy.

  Stacy Warner : They're gonna wanna know what you think a reasonable doctor would have done in Chase's position.

  Dr. Gregory House : If I thought he was a "reasonable" doctor, I wouldn't have hired him.

  Stacy Warner : God, you two are a couple of geniuses. Deny everything. Completely fool the lawyer who's trying to help you. Too bad the review committee members are actually doctors.

• Stacy Warner : [to House]  You blackmailed Ayersman, he performed the surgery, and you ratted him out anyway?

  Dr. Gregory House : Doesn't seem fair, does it?

  Stacy Warner : You just can't control yourself, can you? No matter how stupid, how self-destructive...

  Dr. Gregory House : To make this conversation easier, can we discard the fiction that we're talking about anything other than what I did to you? You're not mad because I broke into your psychiatrist's office.

  Stacy Warner : Yeah, I was thrilled about that.

  Dr. Gregory House : Okay, it was a lousy thing to do, but if what I'd found was that everything was all kittens and moonbeams in Markville, you'd be over it.

  Stacy Warner : No, I wouldn't!

  Dr. Gregory House : You're mad at me for letting you know what I did because you liked where things were going. And for that I actually am sorry. It was stupid.

  [Stacy turns and leaves the room] 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Just been served with papers. Actually paper; one page.

  [while reading the paper] 

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Defendants: Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital and Dr. Robert Chase. Blah, blah, blah. Medical malpractice, negligence. Blah, blah.

  Dr. Gregory House : You're surprised they're suing? You think people love Chase so much they're gonna just forego...

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Punitive damages in the amount of 10 million dollars.

  [passes the paper to Stacy] 

  Stacy Warner : Punitives? That means they're alleging gross negligence.

  Dr. Robert Chase : Well, he's obviously out of his mind.

  Stacy Warner : Larry Wusekus. He's not crazy.

• Stacy Warner : And this was right before you ran the marathon, I suppose?

  Dr. Gregory House : Was it the part where he warmly clasped my hands and thanks, was that too much?

  Stacy Warner : What'd you do to him?

  Dr. Gregory House : The hospital lawyer asks me if I did something unethical. If I did, the last person I'd tell is the hospital lawyer - especially since she's gone all Old Testament on me.

  Stacy Warner : You'll tell me.

  Dr. Gregory House : Oh. Okay then. One caveat: I've moved past threesomes - I'm now into foursomes. When someone backs out, then you still got a threesome. And if two people back out, you're still having sex. You'd be amazed - even if three people...

  Stacy Warner : Anything you say is attorney-client. So you can get advice about the bad bad thing you did, knowing I'll be tortured because I can't tell a soul.
