- Quotes (Quotations) from this episode:
- House: "I said it's fine if you stay."
Wilson: "Yeah, that's why you're making me miserable."
House: "Maybe I just want to make sure you do your fair share around here.... What's weird about it? The girl with the allergies."
Wilson: "Yeah. She's immuno-compromised."
House: "What are you doing?"
Wilson: "What? You asked me—"
House: "You knew that I was interested, that gives you a valuable bargaining chip. Could have had me doing dishes for a week."

- House: "It's like an Agatha Christie mystery."
Chase: "Maybe it's not what was there; it's what she was doing."
House: "Exercise allergy. Love it. What sort of exercise could a strapping young man and a nubile teenage nymphet possibly be—"
Cuddy: "Mom was in the room within seconds."
Chase: "So the boyfriend brought in an allergen and is lying about it."
Cameron: "Or the girl snuck out and she's lying about that."
House: "Or the parents are lying about the room being clean."
Cuddy: "These are your big ideas? Somebody's lying?"
House: "Hasn't let me down yet."
- Cameron to House about Melinda's boyfriend: "He loves her. Did everything he could to make sure she wouldn't get sick."
House: "What's that mean?"
Cameron: "Love is an emotion certain people experience, similar to happiness. No, maybe I should give a more relatable example."
House: "Oh snap! What did he do to protect her, brillo-pad his privates?"
Cameron: "I assume he washed and he—"
House: "Oh good work, assumptions are so much faster than actual questions."
- House: "What's the good news, what's the bad news?"
Chase: "Congestive heart failure."
House: "Is which?"
Chase: "Good news."
House: "Why?"
Chase: "I don't know, it just sounded like you."
House: "New puzzle piece, always good news. What's the bad news?"
Foreman: "We've got two puzzle pieces from two different puzzles."
House: "Seems that way."
- House to Wilson about staying at his place: "Decided I wanted you to stay."
Wilson: You're miserable, and you're lonely, and you're going to trap me here to keep me every bit as miserable and lonely too!
House: Yeah, and you're happy happy happy.
Wilson: Ok, hey, I'm obviously going through a rough patch here. Your wife leaves, tends to bum somebody out....
House: So what? What did I do to you? I scammed you into doing the dishes, made you sit on the steps. I didn't kill your puppy. I did not make you miserable.
Wilson: Oh, so this is therapy?
House: No... just makes me smile.
Wilson: All right, I'm finding a new place tomorrow.
House: Right, but not tonight.
Wilson: Well I figure you wanna shave my eyebrows while I'm asleep I wouldn't want to deprive you of that last smile.
House: You're not going anywhere. You're going to sit on my couch, and depress us both because you just can't admit that it's over with your wife.
Wilson: That's right, I'm here on vacation.
House: You gotten a lawyer yet?
Wilson: That's— that's— not—
House: You even called one? As long as you're here, it's just a fight. As soon as you get a place, then it's a divorce. Everything sucks. Might as well find something to smile about."
