Alone
Cuddy: "Where did you come from?"
House: "Apes, if you believe the Democrats."
"I'm
thinking the broken bones are a response to
the building falling on her head."
Alone
“Interview? You test drive a car before
you buy it; you have sex before you get married.
I can’t hire a team based on a ten minute
interview. What if I don’t like having
sex with them?”
House:
“Are you a fan of symmetry?”
Young Doctor: “Sure.”
House: “Weird, because your eyes are
lopsided. And by eyes I mean breasts.”
“By
the end of six weeks, one of you will be gone.
As will twenty-eight more of you. Wear a cup.”

The Right Stuff
“You many not have legs, but you have
ears. I suggest you use them.”
“Oh Yeah, twenty minutes in my office
schmoozing about their love of Algerian surfing
movies is a much better system.”
Greta:
“I’m a Captain in the Air Force;
about to start a new assignment. NASA’s
astronaut training program.”
House: “I discovered salt and created
FM radio.”
“Paging
me during Judge Judy -- not a good way to
win my affections.”
“So you called me? The guy with one
good leg and zero leverage.”
“Luckily violence isn’t the last
resort. Extortion is. Go ahead. Extort her.”
“Rational
arguments don’t usually work on religious
people. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be
religious people.”
“It’s
a myth that fake hooters blow up at high altitude;
she’ll be fine. It is a myth, isn’t
it? Just think of it as one giant rack for
mankind.”
“Would
you condemn this woman to a life where people
look at her face when they talk to her?”
“The
hair makes you look like a hooker. I like
it.”
“I
don’t know who’s been gossiping
about ethics instead of sex, but hopefully
they’re already fired.”

97 Seconds
“If your organs dangle, you’re
the confederates. If your sex organs are aesthetically
pleasing, you’re the yanks.”
“I
check this little box and your new roommates
are Jesus and Crazy McLoonybin -- that guy
never had a chance.”
“Suddenly
you’re shy? You pooped your pants in
front of me. One of the nasty side-effects
of dying.”
“You
don’t think non-answers tell me anything?”
“Cervical
lymph node is a garbage dump. Very small one;
just one truck comes; and it only comes from
one home. Al Gore would be appalled.”
“Oh
God, I’m tired of hearing that argument.
I don’t have to go to Detroit to know
it smells.”
“Because
if I pooped myself in front of Wilson, I’d
never hear the end of it.”
•
Guardian Angels
“I’m a jerk to everyone. Best
way to protect yourself from lawsuits.”
“You
actually think I’d take a patient who
had a seizure in a funeral home if the ER
hadn’t already ruled out embalming fluid?”
“Don’t
think of it as digging up a body; think of
it as keeping another one from getting buried.”
Cuddy:
“Doctor’s lounge is covered in
mud.”
House: “Thirteen and Manipulative Bitch
had a disagreement and the cafeteria was out
of jello.”
“I
can’t ask the black guy or one of the
chicks to do it; it’d be insensitive.”
•
Mirror Mirror
“So, um, if I need them, where exactly
will Dr. Foreman be keeping my balls?”
“Did
you get a raise, because then you’re
a whore. Or didn’t you, because then
you’re a stupid whore.”
“Who
here doesn’t have any health insurance?
None? None at all? Michael Moore was right.
MRI’s, PET scans, neuro-psych tests
and private rooms for these patients. Fight
the power!”
“Someone’s
gonna be miserable sometime. Accept it. That’s
how I stay so happy.”
“Have
you guys heard any of my metaphors yet? Well
come on, sit on grandpa’s lap as I tell
you how infections are criminals; immune system’s
the police. Seriously Grumpy, get up here,
it’ll make us both happy.”
“So
now you’ve electrocuted yourself and
set a patient on fire. I like the dedication.”
“People
don’t learn; people don’t change.
But you did. You’re a freak.”

Whatever It Takes
“Nothing says thanks for saving my life
like a test drive in a car that accelerates
as fast as the Space Shuttle.”

I have to walk somewhere, there better be
at least five girls involved. And they’d
better be working their way through college.”
“My
malpractice insurance doesn’t cover
alien autopsies.”
“Horse
chestnuts may look like chestnuts, but they
taste like a horse’s lower-than-chest-nuts.
Which makes the idea he accidentally ate a
couple hundred ridiculous.”
“Does
the ‘I’ in CIA stand for Irony?”
“I’m
sorry, who you gonna marginalize? If it’s
the housekeeper, she’s got it coming.
Cleaning windows means cleaning both sides.”
“I
know it’d be cool and all but sorry
-- the Empire didn’t develop a death
toxin to go with their death star.”
“You
gotta get over here. They got a satellite
aimed directly into Cuddy’s vagina.
I told them the chances of invasion are slim
to none, but…”
“My
friends call me ‘The Cane.’ Even
before I messed up my leg.”
•
Ugly
“Can I stare at your wardrobe and question
your ass?”
“My
eyes look better in rooms with summer colors.”
“I
became a doctor because of the movie Patch
Adams.”
“Because
she’s got way more diagnostic experience
than the other swimsuit models I was considering.”
“If
you want fair, you picked the wrong job, and
the wrong profession. And the wrong species.
Treat this patient just like he’s just
another really, really, ugly kid.”

right about me being wrong and wrong about
you being right.”
“Just
a warning: if we have to start getting ‘consent’
every time we do a procedure, soon it’ll
be ‘informed’ consent they’ll
want.”
“You
think your dad wants to kill you because you’re
so ugly? Be grateful, anywhere else in the
animal kingdom, your parents would have eaten
you at birth.”

on kid, you’re ugly. Means you gotta

issue here than your face.”
“Bad
ideas indicate an open mind.”
“We
dismissed Lyme Disease hours ago. Put on some
mascara and try again.”

many lives have been lost because of pretty
girls?”
•
You Don't Want
To Know
“...Also
she's wearing a red bra today. Like I'm the
only one who noticed. Means the downstairs
will match.”
“Ladies
and Gentlemen! I have nothing in my hands,
nothing up my sleeve. I do have something
in my pants but that's not going to help with
this particular trick...”
“Skirt
that tight, you got no secrets. Skirt that
tight, I can tell if you've got an IUD.”
“You
handed over her panties; don't think gallantry's
an option at this point.”
“Cole
has traveled through the forest of crustaceans
to bring us a treasure. He has earned his
reward.”

let her greedy fingers right into my cookie
jar. Which, sadly, is not as dirty as it sounds.”
•
Games
There’s something freeing about being
a loser, isn’t there?”
“Dr.
Cuddy -- the face that launched a thousand
long faces.”
“You
got three choices in life: be good, get good
or give up. You’ve gone for column D;
why? The simple answer is: if you don’t
try, you can’t fail. Are you really
that simple?”
“Odd.
You care if I appreciate your music, but you
don’t care if you live or die. Maybe
the answer really is that simple.”
“Clinic’s
been quarantined. Patient came in complaining
of avian flu like symptoms. And fifty extra
dollars in spending money.”

five for ingratitude. No ‘Thank you,
Doctor,’ ‘Here’s a bottle
of codeine for your troubles, Doctor.’”
“Pretty
sure there’s no irony-body connection.
But it’d be ironic if there was.”
“I’ve
heard not all lawyers are as ethical as the
ones we see on TV.”

It's A Wonderful
Lie
I know almost nothing of alien physiology.
Lies
are like children: they’re hard work,
but it’s worth it because the future
depends on them.
The
problem with sleeping with strangers is…
they’re strange.
The
notion of picking one time of year to be decent
to other people is obscene because it’s
actually validating the notion of being miserable
wretches the rest of the year.
You
talk to your kid about sex so she’ll
think you’re open about everything.
Keeps her from asking questions about the
things you don’t wanna talk about.
Gifts
allow us to demonstrate exactly how little
we know about a person. And nothing pisses
a person off more than being shoved into the
wrong pigeonhole.
•
Frozen
Slippery slope -- today we withhold porn,
tomorrow it’s clean bandages.
Coma
Guy needs cable. Women’s billiards is
the only thing keeping him alive.
I’m
a complicated man: I loathe her for many reasons.
He
drilled a hole in your skull after drinking
your pee. I think he’s up for this.
Your
theory is: I cared, therefore I let her keep
her socks on? If that’s what love is,
I don’t want anything to do with it.
•
Don't Ever Change
"You don't like strong, you don't like
assertive. You like needy. She's not dying,
is she?"
"She's
scary. Why does scary need pathetic?"
"People
don't change. For example, I'm gonna keep
on repeating 'people don't change.'"
"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."
"This
isn't just about the 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."
•
No More Mr. Nice
Guy
"It's a pretty simple string of logic
actually: you make people miserable, then
they do what you want them to do, because
then the misery goes away."
"Genetic
defect; nice."
"Okay,
maybe I am biased. Let's take a vote. Who
thinks niceness is not a symptom?"
"I
didn't invite you to be nice; I invited you
because bowling isn't one of the two things
guys do by themselves."
"When
you think about it, the more I mock you, the
more it proves my respect for you."
"Run
him for everything you can think of: lepto,
schisto, hemo and the fourth Marx Brother
nobody ever heard of."
"Good
news is, he's running out of organs to fail."
"So
syphilis prevents domestic violence. I'm gonna
be even more attractive to the ladies."
•
Living The Dream
As opposed to shows that represent the world
exactly the way it is, like…can’t
think of any. Good thing because they would
suck. And be redundant.”
“I
kidnapped you and you’re surprised I
lied to you?”
“Pack
your manhood in ice; maybe the hospital can
re-attach it.”
“We
don’t need to wait for a reflex. If
he can’t get engorged the way God intended
then he can’t get engorged.”
“Yes,
all pretty girls are interchangeable.”
“Thing
is, hope’s for sissies.”
•
House's Head
You gonna trust me? I lie about everything.”
“If
I were kidding, I’d dress like you.”
“Your
biggest problem is I don’t know what
your biggest problem is.”
“Whoever
wore this shirt… hasn’t showered
since Sunday. Without the Vicodin, I’d
have never been able to remember that.”
“Don’t
blame me, blame my gender.”
•
Wilson's Heart
Yeah, we all get it - her heart's not beating;
gonna make it harder to diagnose her. On the
other hand, it means she's not gonna die while
you're whining about it.”
“I
had a heart attack this morning. I can't do
any more drugs 'til at least lunch.”
“A
blowup doll would be more useful; and yes,
that's the first time I've implied something
negative about a blowup doll.”
“If
he had a brain, he wouldn't be tending bar.”
“As
long as I'm risking my life, I might as well
be watching a talkie.”
“I'm
branching out from self-loathing and self
destruction.”
