Quotes
-
Dr. James Wilson : [while talking about Foreman] He really is gonna leave, you know that, right?
Dr. Gregory House : Yeah.
Dr. James Wilson : So what are you gonna do?
Dr. Gregory House : Nothing I can do. He doesn't want more money, better working conditions. Doesn't even want a better job. He wants to not be me.
Dr. James Wilson : Because he thinks you're a cold-hearted bastard without any regard for anyone, but yourself.
Dr. Gregory House : He's right.
-
Dr. Gregory House : [to Marina] Don't worry. Just one more surgery and you'll be fine.
Marina : Thank God.
Dr. Gregory House : Don't make me slap you.
-
Dr. Robert Chase : Foreman's not going anywhere.
Dr. Gregory House : He said that to you?
Dr. Robert Chase : He doesn't really want to leave and you don't really want to let him. You'll cave. Just like you did with Cameron.
Dr. Gregory House : Foreman's not as easy as Cameron, but of course, who is?
Dr. Allison Cameron : [sternly] I'm in the room.
-
Dr. James Wilson : [to House] What the hell's wrong with you! You fired Chase?
Dr. Gregory House : I don't suppose you know what's on my patient's PET scan?
Dr. James Wilson : I told you to show Foreman you have a heart. How does that translate into you being a bastard?
Dr. Gregory House : So that's a "no"?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Pick up the phone and tell Chase you made a mistake. Un-fire him.
Dr. Gregory House : [picks up the phone and dials number] Chase, if you know what's on the PET scan, call me back.
-
Dr. Gregory House : Antibiotics did not bring her back to life.
Dr. Allison Cameron : Other than a miracle, it's the only explanation for her symptoms.
Dr. Gregory House : How come God gets credit whenever something good happens?
-
Dr. Allison Cameron : [to House] My resignation letter. I've gotten all I can from this job.
Dr. Gregory House : What do you expect me to do? Break down and apologize? Beg Chase to come back?
Dr. Allison Cameron : No, I expect you to do what you always do: I expect you to make a joke and go on. I expect you to be just fine. I'll miss you.
-
Dr. Allison Cameron : [to House] Why'd you fire Chase?
Dr. Gregory House : Sure thing. First you tell me the results of the PET scan.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Did you fire him for me?
Dr. Gregory House : Would you stay if I did?
Dr. Allison Cameron : You asked him to fire Chase?
Dr. Eric Foreman : No!
Dr. Gregory House : Yes!
Dr. Allison Cameron : You're frustrated with Foreman, so you lash out, kick the dog?
Dr. Gregory House : He's not gone five minutes and the name-calling starts. What's on the PET scan?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to House] Why'd you fire Chase?
Dr. Gregory House : Do you know what's on the PET scan?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to Cameron and Foreman] You two, out.
Dr. Gregory House : Whoa, whoa, wait. What's on the PET scan?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You can't dump your entire department just because you don't know how to deal with an issue.
Dr. Gregory House : Yes. They are all irreplaceable.
-
Esteban : [last lines; to House] Shouldn't you go home?
Dr. Gregory House : Patient follow-up. Very important. She looks great, like she's sleeping.
Esteban : She is sleeping. I double check. So, they all quit.
Dr. Gregory House : Two of them quit. I fired the third.
Esteban : It's very hard to lose your people. You must be very upset.
Dr. Gregory House : Yeah, I must be.
Esteban : But you're not.
Dr. Gregory House : [sighs] I don't think I am. I think I'm... okay.
Esteban : What are you going to do?
Dr. Gregory House : God only knows.
-
Dr. Robert Chase : I don't really care if Foreman stays or goes, but...
Dr. Gregory House : You're fired.
Dr. Robert Chase : [stammers] What, because I yelled at you?
Dr. Gregory House : Because you've been here the longest, learned all you can or you haven't learned anything at all. Either way, it's time for a change.
Dr. Robert Chase : Fine.
-
Dr. Eric Foreman : I don't wanna solve cases! I wanna save lives.
Dr. Gregory House : You think she cares? You think the husband cares? You think the children, she can now have because of me, are gonna care why I saved her?
Dr. Eric Foreman : I care.
Dr. Gregory House : About yourself. About your own ego.
Dr. James Wilson : House...
Dr. Gregory House : [stands up and walks toward Foreman] You're the selfish bastard, not me. Which is why you took so much pleasure drawing out this little goodbye of yours for the last three weeks. It wasn't for me... It wasn't for anyone! It sure as hell didn't help anyone!
[Foreman looks shocked; then sneers and walks out]
Dr. James Wilson : Nice try.
Dr. Gregory House : Nice tries are worthless.
-
Marina : It hurts.
Dr. Gregory House : [Checks for a pulse] She has no pulse, but she's talking. Cough.
Marina : [Coughs]
Dr. Gregory House : Cough again.
Marina : [Coughs]
Dr. Gregory House : Keep coughing, it'll push blood into your head, keep you conscious.
[to team]
Dr. Gregory House : Push one milligram epinephrine.
Marina : Will...
[coughs]
Marina : that...
[coughs]
Marina : help?
Dr. Gregory House : No, but it is amazingly cool.
-
Dr. Gregory House : [to Marina] In case no one's filled you in, today's Monday, which means you've been dead for a day. That kind of symptom comes back, it can get serious.
-
Dr. Robert Chase : This isn't gonna work! He's not a moron! You can't just agree with everything he says for two days and hope he forgets the last three years and how much he hates you.
Dr. Gregory House : Anything else?
-
Dr. Gooding : Turn on the bypass, please. Good. Good distal flow.
Dr. Gregory House : [Enters operating theatre] Need to look at the heart.
Dr. Gooding : Why?
Dr. Gregory House : Can't find my wallet. Pick it up, turn it over.
-
Dr. Gregory House : Good news! Think we know what the problem is.
Esteban : [indicating his wife's improved condition] You mean was.
Dr. Gregory House : Hey, it's my first language, not yours. If she wants to outlive Castro, we need to fix her heart.
-
Esteban : [Lays his head on Marina's chest] Her heart, it beat.
Dr. Gregory House : No, it's residual flow from the bypass.
Esteban : No, I can feel it, look.
[House feels a pulse, switches monitor on, which shows a normal heart beat]
Esteban : That is her heart, no?
Dr. Gregory House : P wave, QRS, T wave. That's a normal normal.
Marina : Esteban?
Esteban : Marina!
Dr. Gregory House : Holy crap.
Marina : Is this heaven?
Dr. Gregory House : No, it's New Jersey.
Esteban : God send you back to me. It's a miracle.
-
Dr. Gregory House : [talking to his team about the patient] If there's one thing Castro knows, is how to look great in green. And if there's two things Castro knows, is how to look great in green and train doctors. Even without the medical records, we can assume she was drowned in antibiotics before she risked drowning to see me.
Dr. Allison Cameron : So, what doesn't Castro know?
Dr. Gregory House : How to lay his hands on high tech scanning equipment.
-
Dr. Gregory House : It's impossible.
Dr. Allison Cameron : Apparently not.
Dr. Gregory House : Live hearts don't stop for no reason. Dead hearts don't start for no reason.
Dr. Allison Cameron : Apparently they do.
Dr. Eric Foreman : She's three hours off bypass and still stable, and the pain has gone.
Dr. Gregory House : No, it's not.
Dr. Allison Cameron : You think that she's lying about feeling better?
Dr. Gregory House : Just 'cos it's not there now doesn't mean it's gone.
Dr. Eric Foreman : Just because it was there before doesn't mean it's coming back.
-
Dr. Allison Cameron : Her blood pressure's rising.
Dr. Gregory House : Mind's rising too. Of course, I'm doing battle with the deity.
