- Dr. Gregory House: [to Wilson about Amber] This isn't just about sex. You like her personality. You like that she's conniving. You like that she has no regard for consequences. You like that she can humiliate someone if it serves... Oh my God, you're sleeping with me.
- [quickly exits the restaurant]
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: [about Amber] Are you sure she doesn't want to just take you back to her lair, hang you upside down, and deposit her eggs in you?
- Dr. James Wilson: Excellent disguise, House.
- Dr. Gregory House: People don't change. For example, I'm gonna keep repeating "People don't change."
- Dr. Gregory House: She's a needy version of me.
- Dr. James Wilson: Hard to imagine such a mythical creature.
- Dr. Robert Chase: You want more time? Joshua got God to make the sun stand still. No reason God can't speed it up. And, by God, I of course mean you.
- Dr. Gregory House: I told you we needed you.
- Kutner: Saw Amber drop Wilson off this morning.
- Dr. Gregory House: Yes. The male always drives the female.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to Wilson about Amber] You don't like strong. You don't like assertive. You like needy. She's not dying is she?
- Dr. Gregory House: Cross-species mating. If you like Darwin and the Galapagos.
- Dr. James Wilson: Amber and I have a lot in common.
- Dr. Gregory House: She's a cutthroat bitch. You cry over Dark Victory.
- Dr. James Wilson: Bette Davis, another strong assertive woman.
- Dr. Gregory House: I thought Amber scared you guys.
- Kutner: She does, but she also has legs that go all the way up to Canada.
- Dr. Gregory House: So do Canadians - doesn't mean I want to date one.
- Dr. Robert Chase: Why do you need me?
- Dr. Gregory House: Saying "nice work, Chase" when you're not here is pointless.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: People who have a problem with boxes are people who don't fit in them.
- Thirteen: You've been working for House for a long time.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: No need for name calling.
- Dr. James Wilson: Amber is exactly what I need and you would agree if you weren't mired in self-loathing topped with a thin crust of megalomania.
- Dr. Gregory House: Hey, that's my best friend's girl you're talking about.
- Dr. Gregory House: [after Chase explains the patient's decision to wait 8 hours despite being advised against it by a rabbi] Nice work, Chase!
- Dr. Robert Chase: [sarcastically] Yeah, I should have had twin rabbis called.
- Dr. Gregory House: You do it both ways right?
- Thirteen: What?
- Dr. Gregory House: The Ultrasound: do it standing up and lying down... What else would I mean?
- Amber Volakis: Why do you have to believe that I have an ulterior motive?
- Dr. Gregory House: For the same reason I believe that crack whores can have sex. For crack.
- [last lines]
- Dr. James Wilson: Are you being self-sacrificing?
- Dr. Gregory House: I'll sacrifice a lab rat, I'll sacrifice a fly, I'll sacrifice $200 on a mudder at Monmouth Park. I don't sacrifice self. Shabbat shalom, Wilson.
- Dr. James Wilson: Shabbat shalom, House.
- Dr. Gregory House: He's combined two of his worst qualities--his love for me and his love for need. And as administrator of this hospital, you have to save your star oncologist.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Wish I could help, but as administrator, there are some people in accounting I'm scheduled to sleep with first.
- Amber Volakis: I call you Greg because we're now social equals.
- Dr. Gregory House: And I call you Cutthroat Bitch, well, quod erat demonstrandum. And I speak in Latin because I don't try to hide what an ass I am.
- Dr. James Wilson: So you're going to acknowledge that people can change?
- Dr. Gregory House: No.
- Dr. James Wilson: You think I've changed? Or Amber's changed?
- Dr. Gregory House: Nope.
- Dr. James Wilson: Then YOU'VE changed!
- Dr. Gregory House: If you do change, can't it be the part of you that chases me down the halls trying to change me?
- Dr. James Wilson: Do you know what this means?
- Dr. Gregory House: That you've made ONE good dating choice. The fabric of the space-time continum could unravel.
- Dr. James Wilson: My world could expand. I could form a long term connection that isn't with you. And since you put the darkest possible construction on everything, you could end up losing a friend... You've thought of all this, and yet you're going along with it. Are you being self-sacrificing?
