- Quotes, Quotations, Dialogue, Scenes:
- As House removes a porn DVD in the morning, Wilson asks, "What are you doing tonight?"
"Masterbating. I'd invite you but people are already talking."
"It's pathetic. You divide your nights between porn and the Discovery Channel."
"Right. Playing "Dance, Dance Revolution" is a much better choice."
"Okay. That was a gift from a patient and it happens to be great exercise. I mean, who rents porn anymore? Can't you get this stuff on the internet?"
"You can but you can't get Disc 2 with the director's commentary."
Wilson takes a breath and gets back to his initial question, "Come out with me tonight. I'm going speed dating."
"You mean you're dating on meth? Count me in."
"You need to meet somebody. This way you meet 20 somebodies."
"Over a five minute discussion of Proust. Speed dating is a meet market."
"Yea, dozens of women just waiting to be hit on. Your odds of a happy ending are nearly as good as staying home and watching porn."
- House joins Wilson for speed dating and finds he has brought Chase. "You brought a date?"
Chase says, "Wilson seemed to think it was a good idea.
Wilson confirms his reason by saying, "You need to dive back into the pool."
"And does he have to swim in ours? You go to a bar, you bring your ugly friends."
"It's not a beauty pageant." Chase insists.
"Life is a beauty pageant. Little girls who kiss frogs, expect them to turn into you."
"Oh, come on. I'm not that good looking."
House disagrees. "Yeah you are."
Chase looks to Wilson who, to his surprise, confirms House's opinion, "You kind of are."
"So, you attribute every relationship I've ever had to the height of my cheekbones."
Wilson tries to make him feel better by saying, "Not the whole relationship, just he beginning."
But House is not so kind. "The rest is your hair."
"This is ridiculous. Women aren't as distracted by appearances as we are. They look deeper."
House gets a glint in his eyes as he sees a chance to make money and overturn someone's way of looking at the world. Far more interesting that talking to women for 5 minutes each. "You want to bet?" Chase looks interested. "You can't tell anyone you're a doctor. You're unemployed. You're also a little slow: Misunderstand everything they say. And lose the accent. A hundred bucks says you still walk out of here with a dozen names." House wins the bet.
