Quotes 

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Your reputation won't last if you don't do your job. The clinic is part of your job. I want you to do your job.

  Dr. Gregory House : But as the philosopher Jagger once said, "You can't always get what you want".

• Dr. Lisa Cuddy : [to a patient, about House]  I'm your doctor. You've been good to me and good to this hospital. Of course I care, but I don't see how this conversation could end well for me. Either your wife is having an affair, or she's not having an affair, and you have come here because you rightly think I should fire him, but I can't, even if it cost me your money. The son-on-a-bitch is the best doctor we have.

• Dr. Gregory House : [after questioning House's treatment plan for a patient]  Why are you so afraid of making a mistake?

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Because I'm a doctor. Because when we make mistakes people die.
