Episode Quotes |
| |
Dr. Hadley: She claims he got stronger as soon as she stopped breathing.
Dr. Taub: The mind can heal the body. Seeing his wife in distress might actually have slowed down his death.
Dr. House: Or he just had an adrenaline surge when he saw his chance to hit the singles' market.
| Dr. House: I'm not just gonna give you my coffee. Think of it as Costa Rican sober juice.
| Dr. Foreman: His parents were shot right in front of him.
Dr. House: Parents are ancient history.
Dr. Foreman: Not to someone who actually cares.
| Dr. Cuddy: I'm sorry. I've hired a grief counselor, whom I'm sure none of you will see. And I'm offering time off, which I'm sure none of you will take, but just know it's available.
| Dr. Cuddy: I'm sorry for your loss.
Dr. House: Thanks, but it isn't my loss.
Dr. Cuddy: Then I'm sorry you don't think it is.
| Dr. House: Did you let me hire a pervert?
Dr. Cuddy: Well, it would be hypocritical of me not to.
| Dr. Cuddy: It's okay. You should be upset. He thought like you. Pushed boundaries like you. He...
Dr. House: If he thought like me, he would have known that living in misery sucks marginally less than dying in it.
| Dr. Wilson: For the record, I'm uncomfortable violating a dead colleague's dignity.
Dr. House: It's only violating it if you find something.
| Dr. House: You run the echo on the husband?
Dr. Taub: Heart's still failing. The improvement was only temporary.
Dr. House: I prefer the less subtle answer. "You were right, House."
| Dr. Hadley: How many times have you lied to the transplant committee?
Dr. House: Just twice.
Dr. Hadley: How many times has it worked?
Dr. House: I... don't quite see how that's relevant.
| Dr. House: They were ready do die... but for guilt, not love.
Dr. Taub: You can't feel that much guilt without love.
