Detox (Quotes)
Originally aired February 15, 2005.
House: Internal bleeding after a car accident? Wow - that's shocking!
Cuddy: I can't protect you. Patients talk, doctors talk.
House: About how big your [butt] has gotten lately? Not me – I defend it.
Foreman: You know, House shouldn't even be here!
Chase: Because he said something inappropriate? If we sent him home every time he did that, we wouldn't need this office.
Foreman: He's detoxing - can't you see he's out of his mind?
House: That's what they said about Manson.
House: (After learning that his Vicodin was caught in shipping). Let me talk to shipping. I speak their language.
(Digging up a dead cat).
Foreman: Four years of college, four of med school, two years of residency, another four of sub-specialty training. Where do I end up?
Chase: Talking instead of digging.
House: You do that surgery, you'll be killing a mother of four.
Cuddy: Father of three.
House: I was guessing.
Dad: What is your problem?
House: Bum leg, what's yours?
Cuddy: You can't go a week without your drugs.
House: No, I don't want to go a week without the drugs, it'll hurt.
Cuddy: No, you can't. If you're just getting off pain medication, it will hurt, you won't be having a great time, but you'll make it. If you're detoxing you'll have chills, nausea... your pain will magnify five, ten times. You won't make it.
House: Well, I guess we'll never know.
Cuddy: I'll give you a week off clinic duty if you can go a week off narcotics.
House: No way! I love the clinic.
Cuddy: You love the pills. Two weeks.
House: Pills don't make me high. They make me neutral.
Cuddy: A month.
House: You're on, mister.
Cuddy: Take the week off.
House: What, 'cause I lied to a patient? I take risks, sometimes patients die. But not taking risks causes more patients to die, so I guess my biggest problem is I’ve been cursed with the ability to do the math.
