- Quotes on Dr. Foreman and his past:
- Foreman: "Police issued Kevlar vests don't have the ceramic plate insert that would shatter a bullet, they would just catch it. So the bullet shattered on its own, meaning Babyshoes was using .38 caliber hollow points. Which, unfortunately, are ferromagnetic."
House: "It's just so cool that you know that!" [#220]
- Foreman to a cop who's a patient: "I grew up with cops like you. One part bully, nine parts hypocrite." [#220]
- Cameron about Foreman: "He doesn't like cops." [#220]
- Tritter is trying to get Foreman to testify against House by offering him a deal for his brother, Marcus, who is in prison: "You, uhm, you testify. I can make sure that Marcus goes free on parole in less than two months."
"My brother and I, we grew up in the same home. But I made something of myself. He didn't."
"Dr. Foreman, the way you talk, you think you never committed any crimes yourself. Now, you and Dr. House, you are both cold bastards. You don't give a damn about your brother, and you can't stand House. But I do expect you to take this deal, because you hate hypocrisy more. House has had a thousand chances. You had two chances. Why is your brother stuck at one?" [#309]
