- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Why do you want to meet her so badly?
- Dr. Gregory House: Psychopaths always fascinate me. I think its their cultural literacy and strong family values.
- Valerie: I'm not so different than anybody else. Everyone I've ever known: my family, my classmates, the people I work with. They're all out for themselves. Difference is, I could admit it to myself.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: She kind of reminds me of someone I know.
- Dr. Gregory House: Tell me about it.
- Dr. James Wilson: Of all the people in the world you've hurt.
- Dr. Gregory House: Not everyone has a name that's so easy to find in the White Pages.
- Dr. James Wilson: Uh, I'm in there. So's Cuddy.
- Dr. Gregory House: And yet I picked him. It's funny isn't it?
- Dr. James Wilson: Yes, it's hilarious. Great to see what a success your therapy was.
- [Wilson leaves]
- Dr. Gregory House: We said we'd never go to sleep angry.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to the team over the speakphone] But in the great game of chess that is our relationship, Wilson only sees one move ahead. I see dozens. That is why he will never mate me... That's a Chess term.
- Dr. Gregory House: The fact that you fired her takes it from a little complicated to a little moronic.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: It was the only way I could...
- Dr. Gregory House: It wasn't because you were too in love with her. It's because you were too in love with your career. We're almost at my floor, so I'll summarize. Your problem not mine.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: No one's going to risk their life save her.
- Dr. Gregory House: Man, one false accusation from a psychopath and you turn out to be a bummer... I'm going to go see if Wilson has any liver left.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: You're feeling something! What are you feeling?
- Valerie: I don't know. But it hurts.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: It will.
- Valerie: [to Thirteen] Are you threatened by me?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Not at all.
- Valerie: Well, you should be. You let him know what I told you, I will not only have your license pulled, I will sue you for everything I lose in the divorce. So the fun you get out of making those snotty little comments, is it worth $19 million? Oh, wait, will you hold that look? I'm really bad at showing emotions. How's this?
- [hisses]
- Dr. Chris Taub: Fourteen-year-old boy, joint pain and excess hair growth.
- Dr. Gregory House: Tell him to masturbate no more than 3 times daily with meals. Next.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [to Thirteen about Valerie] You're testing her for a brain tumor?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: That's what I told her. You can chastise me after you look at the monitor. Look what's lighting up.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Lateral frontal cortex, Broca's area, so what?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: I told her it was customary to talk during MRIs to relax. I spent the last 30 minutes asking her about everything in life that she loves, then hates, then feels any emotion about at all.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [looks at the monitor] There's nothing in the paralimbic system, amygdala...
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Because she's using the language part of her brain and bypassing the emotional. She can understand love and pain and empathy, but she can't feel them at all. She's a psychopath.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to Thirteen and Foreman] Go have sex.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: No, thanks.
- Dr. Gregory House: Fine, I'll cover the Viagra and the lubricants. Just get me a receipt.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: We have zero feelings for each other.
- Dr. Gregory House: Well, that's too bad 'cause things worked much better when you did. Would it help if I slept with her?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: We were getting to a diagnosis.
- Dr. Gregory House: No, we were already at the diagnosis. You were creating a fake argument about an irrelevant treatment issue 'cause you can't stand to be around each other. So have sex, fight or quit, I don't care. Whatever you're doing now isn't working.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to the team] Those of you who haven't slept together, you can go. Everyone else, stay behind.
- [Chase leaves. Everyone looks at Taub]
- Dr. Chris Taub: Oh, sorry.
- [to Thirteen]
- Dr. Chris Taub: That was our secret, right?
- Dr. Gregory House: [to Valerie] Hi, I'm Dr. House. How long have you been a psychopath?
- Valerie: [looks at Thirteen] Are you kidding?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: He's not.
- Dr. Gregory House: [Speaking of Cuddy] She wasn't in love with me.
- Dr. James Wilson: The fact that you can't admit it, just proves my point.
- Valerie: [to House] So if your conscience is just an animal instinct, you don't need to follow it. I think you realize that. That's why you're talking to me.
- Dr. Gregory House: Maybe because I recognize sending someone to the poor house is a little more serious than editing a snapshot.
- Dr. James Wilson: No, it's because Cuddy actually means something to you, which makes it much harder to apologize.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: [to House] You're taking the case because she's hot?
- Dr. Gregory House: No, that would be an accident of genetics. It's because she's hot and her husband is ugly. It's a fascinating window into the mysteries of human psychology. Also, she's really hot.
- Valerie: [to Cuddy about Thirteen] Fire her.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: What for? You seemed to have lied your way out of any trouble.
- Valerie: Until Bill checks up on my cover and I have to create a whole new one to cover that one up. I've done it before, but it's a pain and I would like Dr. Hadley to share that pain.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: She didn't reveal any confidences and she had a valid medical reason to ask about your landscaping class.
- Valerie: We can see what a jury says about that.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: And admit to your husband the truth? You're not gonna sue us. We will remove Dr. Hadley from all patient contact.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: What?
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: But it's for Dr. Hadley's benefit, not yours. We have no obligation to inflict you on her.
- Valerie: Fine.
- [to Thirteen]
- Valerie: But just so you know, this is not for your benefit. Dr. Cuddy's furious that you put her hospital at risk. She just knows it's a bad idea to admit it in front of me.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Think what you want. By the way, your orderly's outside, but I'd wait about another ten minutes if you really want your husband to think you're having radiation treatments.
- [leaves the room]
- Valerie: [as Thirteen is about to leave the room] Dr. Hadley, are you by chance gonna cry? 'Cause that's one I just can't do.
- Dr. Gregory House: [about Valerie] Get her to radiotherapy.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: We can't start radiation without immunoassays on her urine.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Great, so you cast a spell and magically fix her kidney so she can give us some urine to test.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: We have some left over from admission.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Not enough for a completely accurate reading.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Then how about partially accurate?
- Dr. Gregory House: Those of you who haven't slept together, you can go. Everyone else, stay behind.
- [Chase gets up and leaves the room, but Taub remains in the room]
- Dr. Chris Taub: Oh, sorry.
- [to Thirteen]
- Dr. Chris Taub: That was our secret, right?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: You do it.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: I don't think he was talking to me.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Well, I am.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: I'm the only one who thinks you're wrong.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Maybe that's why I'm asking you to do it.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [to Thirteen] I did it for me, not you. I realized that right after I fired you, but I couldn't admit it. Screwed everything up. I hope that we can still work together.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [to House] Did I mention that the 27-year-old female is really hot. And her husband is really not.
- Dr. Gregory House: Wild guess. He's rich.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Not unless social workers have begun pulling in the big money recently.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: [to Valerie] You called the medical board?
- Valerie: What is she talking about?
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Accusations of sexual harassment. You don't think I know it's you?
- Dr. Robert Chase: Thirteen, come on.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: You already got me fired from the case. What else do you want?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [stands in the doorway] Dr. Hadley. Get out here now.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: [after Valerie makes accusations of sexual harassment towards Thirteen] She's trying to make me lose my license.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: And she'll fail unless you're stupid enough to go in there and scream at her.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Sexual harassment accusations are incredibly serious.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: If she made them anonymously, the case goes away. If she used her name, we all back you up, it goes away. You're completely overreacting.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: You'd be pissed off too if you were me. Or maybe not, I don't know. You're just about as emotional as she is.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm doing you a favor.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: I know, and even when you try to do something nice, you sound like a jerk.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm sorry.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: For what?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Firing you.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Don't do that, that's not what this is about.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Then I'll apologize anyway. I did it for me. Not for you. I realized that right after I fired you, but I couldn't admit it. Screwed everything up. I hope that we can still work together.
