- Quotes, Quotation, Dialogue, Scenes:
- House interrupts a conversation Wilson is having with a new nurse and when the nurse leaves, House says to his friend, "You've sprinted through three bad marriages into an affair with a dying patient. Now, a naughty nurse? How many more failed relationships are we both gonna have to deal with before you learn to love yourself. And I mean that in the literal way."
"It's amazing how you can not only know that it's a relationship but that it's a bad relationship based on nothing but — nothing."
"I know you."
"I'm not with her. Not even trying."
"You're lying to me. That's interesting."
"Well, as long as it's interesting."
Later, when House is still focusing on Wilson, Cameron suggests that if he wants to know if Wilson is dating the nurse, he should ask Wilson. Foreman says, first to Cameron and then to House, "Clearly he did and Wilson denied it. And House doesn't believe it. It's gotta hurt. That's why it pays to have more than one friend, House."
- When House first meets Tritter, Tritter complains about the two hour wait he just sat through. House glances at Tritter's problem (in the genital area) and comes up with an instant diagnosis, but Tritter wants a test. House refuses referring to stubborn idiots as he writes a note on the chart he hasn't done more than glance at. Tritter says, "You're rude."
"Wow, you're like a detective or something."
"And you're smart. And you're funny. But you are bitter and you're lonely. So, you treat everyone around like they're idiots. And you get away with it 'cause of your cane."
"Please stop. It's hard to write through the haze of bitter tears."
"But you're not actually getting away with it. Last nurse you made fun of she probably slipped some crap into your coffee...." When House gets up to leave, Tritter trips him. "Treat people like jerks, you get treated like a jerk." House takes the specimen for the test but then gives Tritter a rectum thermometer and the leaves and doesn't return.
- Foreman to House about the patient. "Sorry. Ridiculous of me to draw a conclusion based on actually observing them. Should have just depended on misanthropic view os human nature."
- When House continues to harass Wilson about the nurse Wilson says he is not dating, Wilson tells him, "You're a miserable jerk who can't stand to be alone."
"I didn't try to break up your marriages. You did that yourself."
"My marriages were so crappy, I was spending all my time with you. Your real fear is me having a good relationship."
"Yes. It keeps me up at night. That and the Lock Ness monster, global warming, evolution, and other fictional concepts."
