Games (Quotes)
Originally aired November 27, 2007.
House: Sign on the door says, "Closed. Private Event."
Cuddy: You're alone.
House: How much more private can you get?
Foreman: No. He's sick because he's a drug addict.
House: No, he has every symptom you would expect from a drug addict.
Foreman: So you think it's all too perfect? Some other disease is trying to throw us off its trail?
House: If he had four out of a possible twenty symptoms, he'd be a garden variety druggie. Twenty out of twenty, there is an underlying disease.
Cuddy: Who are you keeping? You owed me a decision ten days ago.
House: Total amnesia.
House: Who would you pick to fill your narrow little flats?
Cameron: So you can fire them off my recommendation? Nice try.
Amber: Does Foreman being here mean the game's over?
House: It means the patient's life is almost over. You can call it what you want.
House: Why would you have a blank liability release form, plus your checkbook on top of your desk?
Wilson: Probably because they were in the second drawer, in a Manila envelope, under a book and you put them on top of my desk.
Cameron: His blood results show booze, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates. The only mystery here is how he made it to be 38.
Chase: How’s the new us-es' final case going?
Wilson: Dying's easy. Living's hard.
House: That can't possibly be as poignant as it sounded!
Cuddy: What the hell did you do?
House: You told me to hire Cutner and Taub.
Cuddy: Because I knew you wouldn't!
House: Oops.
Cuddy: I can't let you hire two men.
House: Now that is sexist.
Cuddy: You've already got Foreman.
House: Is he a dude?
Cuddy: Hire a woman, too.
House: Hired two women.
Cuddy: You can have the one that gives a crap about people.
House: They both do.
Cuddy: Right. Hire Thirteen. (Cuddy starts to leave, but then realizes something). This was your plan all along. Well, at least the games are over.
House: How long have you known me?
House: Foreman, you run the test.
Foreman: Sure. Anything I can do to help your game.
House: He's not gonna run the test.
Thirteen: I don't think so.
House: No.
House: There are three choices in life: be good, get good or give up. You went for column D. Why?
House: What makes you so sure that drugs are a mask for something else?
Thirteen: Drugs are always a mask for something else.
House: It's the dumbest thing I have heard in my life.
House: (Speaking to Amber). If you were always right, then you wouldn't have just been wrong. Or let the patient mainline nicotine. Or ravaged my anatomical model, which grandma House bought me when I aced my MCATs.
House: Hey! Who's the sickest patient you've got?
Cameron: I've got a guy who'll be dead in the next ten minutes.
House: Dr. Cuddy: the face that launched a thousand long faces.
House: Remind me of your influences here. I’m gonna say, Thelonius Monk and the sound a trash compactor makes when you crawl inside it.
Wilson: What sort of a lawyer tells his client he's got a case because he's going to live?
House: I've heard that not all lawyers are as ethical as the ones we see on TV.
Wilson: I don't think this guy even has a law degree.
House: A lot of the guys on TV don't, either.
Wilson: I think he has a medical degree.
House: It directly affects my bottom line. You have less money to lend—
Wilson: I'm trying to take responsibility!
House: And I'm trying to teach you that everyone is out for theirs. You might as well keep yours.
Wilson: And lend it to you? You have to control everything. How come you're going around asking everyone who you should fire?
Rex: Maybe purposelessness is my purpose.
Amber: Mission accomplished.
Foreman: I'm trying to stop the game.
Chase: That's your role in the game.
(Foreman's beeper beeps).
Foreman: You wander over here to annoy me?
Chase: You're not wearing a lab coat. House doesn't wear one, does he?
Foreman: Damn! Now when I walk away, it's gonna look like I have a reason other than just annoyance.
House: I wanna keep all four.
Cuddy: You can have two.
House: You don't get negotiation, do you? I say four, you say three, we finally settle on three and a half which would be good news for Taub.
House: What do you think? Is he seizing or dancing?
House: Interesting.
Wilson: Why would you use that word?
House: Because I'm interested. When I'm interested, I describe the things that make me interested as interesting.
House: Sign on the door says, "Closed. Private Event."
Cuddy: You're alone.
