- Dr. Gregory House: Wilson, get out.
- Dr. James Wilson: No.
- Dr. Gregory House: You've lied to the cops enough for me.
- Dr. Gregory House: [after a moment] Maybe I don't want to push this 'til it breaks.
- Dr. James Wilson: Hi, do you guys deliver? Let me put it this way, if you deliver there'll be a $100 tip in it for you.
- Dr. Gregory House: [about Wilson] Sorry. If I'd known he was going to be this annoying I would have stolen Dr. Cameron's pad and Dr. Foreman's car. At least she appreciates my brooding melancholy.
- Dr. Gregory House: Don't worry about it. We use recyclable clothes now. Wear them once, then eat them.
- Dr. James Wilson: [walking with House down hallway] Maybe your father's feelings were conditional. Not everyone's...
- Dr. Gregory House: Yes, well, of course that would play into your romantic vision of human...
- Dr. James Wilson: In terms you would understand, we have an evolutionary incentive to sacrifice for our offspring. Our tribe, our friends. Keep them safe.
- Dr. Gregory House: Except for all the people who don't. Everything is conditional. You just can't always anticipate the conditions.
- [last lines]
- Dr. James Wilson: [sighs] My accounts have been frozen as part of a police investigation.
- Dr. Gregory House: [sighs too] They can't keep your money forever.
- Dr. James Wilson: [sighs] No, they can keep it till I agree to help send you to prison for ten years.
- Dr. James Wilson: [sighs again and pauses] You're getting dinner.
- Dr. Gregory House: What happened on the night of the fire?
- Dr. Gregory House: [the coma guy is silent] Yeah, I'm sure it's a stressful, emotional question. Suck it up!
- Dr. Gregory House: You know what I found interesting about this case?
- Dr. James Wilson: That it proved that people can love unconditionally, and you can tell yourself it's not true, but you'll just end up in a hotel room in Atlantic City asking someone to cut your heart out?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: [rushes in the room; looks around to a relaxed Foreman and Chase] I was paged.
- Dr. Robert Chase: Saw you with a cop. What'd he want?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: [slides door closed] How many pills does House take, did I ever write him a prescription; that sort of stuff.
- [sighs]
- Dr. Allison Cameron: I told him six.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: A day, or in a mouthful?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: I was just hoping you guys would stay consistent with...
- Dr. Robert Chase: [nervous] He wants to talk to us, too?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: You're next.
- Dr. Robert Chase: [aghast] We've gotta tell House what's going on.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: Tritter says no.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Then no it is. Cops have a thousand ways to make life difficult for you.
- Dr. Gregory House: [House slides door open to peek in] Quick! What's the kid's status? I gotta get back to our sleeper before he goes looking for the orgasmatron.
- [looks around expectantly; team is silent]
- Dr. Gregory House: See, if that were rhetorical, it would mean that I could just turn around and leave now. Which I'm not doing. From which you should deduce...
- Dr. Eric Foreman: He's off all drugs except the antibiotics. His liver's just managing to hang in there.
- Dr. Robert Chase: He's still sliding into coma.
- Michael Tritter: [stops Cameron by showing her his badge] Mind if we talk a few minutes?
- [cut to semi-dark private room]
- Michael Tritter: How many pills would you say Dr. House takes a day?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: I'm uncomfortable setting a number.
- Michael Tritter: Hmm. Try.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: Six.
- Michael Tritter: A day.
- [Cameron nods]
- Michael Tritter: Has he ever had you... write prescriptions for him?
- Dr. Allison Cameron: No. What is it you want me to say? That he takes too many pills and is a danger to the hospital or he takes too few because he's selling them on the side? Either one is ridiculous.
- Michael Tritter: I meant the former.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: You're wrong.
- Michael Tritter: Can I ask what Dr. House has done to deserve your loyalty? He's not known as a great boss. He's not even much of a friend. I mean, look how he left Dr. Wilson holding the bag.
- [Cameron's expression changes]
- Michael Tritter: It's odd. You don't know about that. You defend him, and he won't even tell you what's happening in his life.
- [pager beeps; Cameron leaves Tritter off-camera]
- Dr. Gregory House: Important thing is you keep prescribing the same amount of drugs to me. Or it'll look suspicious.
- Dr. James Wilson: Here's another way to look at it. Having forced me to lie to the police, your first concern is securing your "drug-connection"!
