Acceptance (Quotes)
Originally aired September 13, 2005.
House: Nolo? Well, I don't want to say anything bad about another doctor, but... especially a useless drunk...
Cuddy: You are addicted to pain pills.
House: But, I'm not useless. Tell Nolo I'm talking over.
Cuddy: Dr. Nolo is a board certified cardiologist.
House: Oh, good. I'm sure he'll explore all the usual options for why a guy's heart starts beating so fast it pumps out air instead of blood. Wait a second. There are no usual options!
House: You know how people can you can't live without love? Well, oxygen's even more important.
House: She's got metastatic squamous cell lung cancer, six months, tops.
Cameron: Have you even looked at the x-ray?
House: No, just guessing. It's a new game. If it's wrong, she gets a stuffed bear.
Cameron: A spot on a x-ray doesn't necessarily mean that she's terminal.
House: I love children. So filled with hope.
House: Now go tell Cindy whatever her-name is that she's dying.
Cameron: I took an oath to do no harm.
House: Yeah, well, it's not like they make you sign it or anything.
(Cameron picks up a marker and begins to write on the white board).
House: Don't do that.
Cameron: What, you have some House theory explaining heroin use despite a negative test?
House: Nope. Only I get to write on the board.
(House is sitting in a patient's room. The patient is in a coma. House is watching a hospital drama and eating a sandwich next to the patient. Wilson walks in).
Wilson: The man's in a coma.
House: He didn't mind. I asked.
Wilson: You're getting crumbs all over him.
House: Thought you convicts knew how to drink. You're at least three shots behind. (He pretends like he is going to give the next shot to Clarence, but instead, he drinks it). Now you're four shots behind.
Clarence: You better give me the next one or I'll kill you. (After a pause, they both laugh).
(Cameron walks in as they are laughing and drinking).
Cameron: House – I was just waiting for test results, I was...
House: Little busy right now. Getting my drink on.
Cameron: Unbelievable.
(Cameron is writing Cindy's symptoms on the white board. House is not in the room).
Chase: Have you done a CT?
Cameron: Yeah, I have?
Foreman: Does it have contrast?
(House enters).
House: She's done everything she needs to do except tell her patient that she's dying. I told you, only I get to play with markers.
Clarence: I haven't heard from him since I went inside. Spent 16 years with him, changed his damn diapers. Can you imagine your whole life bein' about the worst thing you ever did?
Foreman: You killed four people. Somehow, making mac and cheese just the way he wants kind of loses its significance.
Cameron: When a good person dies, there should be an impact on the world. Somebody should notice. Somebody should be upset.
Stacy: You said you cleared with her -
House: Come on. You've known me how long and you still don't know when I'm joshin' ya?
Stacy: Were you trying to get me fired? If you didn't want me working here, why didn't you just say so?
House: I just don't want you working here, in my office. But, anywhere else in the building is fine. It's a big hospital.
Stacy: I'm a lawyer. You're a jerk. There's gonna to be some overlap.
House: God, I hope that was a euphemism.
Chase: I'm against the death penalty in principle. In practice, however, watching a murder die causes me a lot less grief than annoying my boss.
Cuddy: Oh, so everybody lies except a convicted murderer.
(House removes the bed sheet, showing a pool of blood).
House: I don't think he's faking this stuff. What do you think, Doctor?
House: Who wants to head over to the prison and find Clarence's secret stash?
(No one volunteers, until...)
Foreman: Fine, I'll do it.
House: Great, Chase it is.
House: Yeah, sorry. Just gotta get him stabilized. Probably keep him on fluids for a few more hours, then off he goes.
Cuddy: Oh yeah? 'Cause I'm figuring that you still think he's sick.
House: Figuring requires deductive reasoning. I'm figuring that you did no figuring. Stacy just ratted me out, right? So much for attorney/client privledge.
Cuddy: I'm the client, you moron. Stacy has a duty to this hospital.
Cameron: Department of Justice statistics show that it's a racially motivated form of punishment. Black defendants are ten times more likely to get a death sentence than whites.
Foreman: Doesn't mean we need to get rid of the death penalty, do we? It just means we need to kill more white people.
House: Death row guy. I want the case.
Cuddy: How do you even know about him? You don't have access to the hospital's mainframe.
House: No, but "partypants" does.
Cuddy: You stole my password?
House: Hardly counts as stealing - it's a pretty obvious choice.
Chase: How does an inmate on Death Row get his hands on heroin?
Foreman: Are you serious?
House: The man knows prisons. When we've got a yachting question, we'll come to you.
House: Nolo? Well, I don't want to say anything bad about another doctor, but... especially a useless drunk...
