House vs. God (Quotes)
Originally aired on April 25, 2006.
Wilson: Can this wait five minutes?
House: Is she dying?
Wilson: Yes.
House: Before the end of this consult?
Wilson: They could build monuments to your self centeredness.
Chase: You're going to talk to a patient?
House: God talks to him. It'd be arrogant of me to assume I'm better than God.
House: Isn't it interesting that religious behavior is so close to being crazy, we can't tell it apart.
House: No. You talk to God - you're religious. God talks to you - you're psychotic.
House: He is not a saint. He figures out what's going on in people's lives by watching, listening, deducing.
Wilson: And you're worried about trademark infringement?
House: Then he passes on advice from God so he can watch them jump. It's a power trip.
Wilson: Ah and there the similarities end.
Chase: (Speaking to House). The honor of working for you is not worth a felony charge.
Wilson: And that's why religious belief annoys you. Because if the universe operates by abstract rules - you can learn them, you can protect yourself. If a supreme being exists, he can squash you any time he wants.
House: He knows where I am.
Wilson: Excuse me, I have a friend with... boundary issues.
House: So, you're a faith healer? Or is that a pejorative? Do you prefer something like "divine health management?"
House: Got to go – building full of sick people. If I can hurry, maybe I can avoid them.
House: Tie goes to the mortal.
House: God ever talk to you at the seminary?
Chase: Um, no.
House: God's loss, our gain.
House: Wilson! This is dry cleaner guy. Tax accountant. Guy from the bus stop. This is Wilson.
Dry Cleaner: How come he gets a name?
House: Seniority.
Wilson: Can this wait five minutes?
