- Quotes, Quotations, Dialogue, Scenes:
- Wilson is enjoying his chat with cute new neighbor, Nora, about tips on the neighborhood. She tells him, "If you have any more questions about the neighborhood, I'm your girl."
"Favorite shushi place. Maybe we could get dinner sometime."
"Sure if you promist to bring that good looking guy with the cane."
"You mean House?"
"Your boyfriend's name is House?"
Wilson is obviously confused and displeased with the misunderstanding. "He's not my boyfriend."
"Oh, I'm sorry. What do you call each other? Husband" Partner? Lover?"
"We're not gay."
"Serioiusly?" She obviously doesn't believe him.
- Wilson goes to House. "Everyone in our building thinks we're gay."
House doesn't seem very concerned. "We're grown men over the age of 30 who moved in together. We're two tigers away from an acti in Vegas. They'll figure out we're straight eventually."
"Eventually is not when I want to go out with the cure girl in 3B."
"If only there were some way to communicate that to her. Perhas using sound...."
"She didn't believe me."
- House figures out a way to use the misunderstanding to seduce Nora. Wilson objects, "You're doing this to mess with me."
"Correction. I started doing this to mess with you. Now I'm honestly trying to hit that."
"By pretending you're gay and in a relationship with me?"
"We're in a relationship but we're really unhappy. Communication's never been easy for us. Probably because we're so closeted. I got it all figured out. Noran and I spend the next few weeks handing out and become best girlfriends. I confide in her about our issues."
"I can't decide if this is more despicable or illogical."
"Then one night we get drunk. Back rub turns into a front rub. The next morning: 'I've never felt this way about a woman before.'"
"That's quite a commitment you've made to jumping the girl I'd like to date.... I saw her first."
"Seriously? You're invoking the guy code."
"We're guys. It's a code."
"You're only bringing this up 'cause you know you're gonna lose."
li>Wilson proposes in front of Nora in order to foil House's plan. Later House tells Nora his plan and convinces her that he and Wilson really are straight and Wilson tells House that they no longer believe they're gay. Now they believe they're: "mendacious dirt bags." House says he's more comfortable with that.
