Omar Epps: Dr. Eric Foreman

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I don't own House's cases. You had just as much right as I did to write it up. You should have told me but... I should've handled it better too.

  [pauses] 

  Dr. Allison Cameron : If we want this not to get in the way of our friendship, I think we both have to apologize and put it behind us.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I like you, really. We have a good time working together. But ten years from now, we're not gonna be hanging out, having dinners. Maybe we'll exchange Christmas cards, say "Hi," give a hug if we're at the same conference. We're not friends, we're colleagues. And I don't have anything to apologize for.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : [to Foreman]  You stole my article.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I wouldn't do that.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I wrote up the case where we induced hypothermic cardiac arrest in the terminal cancer girl.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I wrote my own. I didn't steal yours.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : You knew I was writing one. You gave me notes!

  Dr. Gregory House : Got a case. It can wait. You two finish.

  [to Chase] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Five bucks says someone loses an eye.

• Dr. Robert Chase : This will numb you up.

  [sprays a substance in Hannah's open mouth and shot cuts to Foreman watching and Max in the background, far from the doctors and patient] 

  Dr. Robert Chase : And this will keep your tongue out of the way. Don't worry; you shouldn't feel anything except for a slight pulling.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : So, you think I was out of line?

  Dr. Robert Chase : That article would've sat on House's desk for the next 6 years.

  [continues with Hannah's mouth] 

  Dr. Eric Foreman : [softly]  I could've told her.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You could've written it for her, too. She knows House as well as any of us. She should've known she was waiting for him to do something he was never gonna do.

  [puts instrument down; Hannah's eyes begin rapidly moving] 

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Chase?

  [Chase turns and expression changes as he sees Hannah's rapidly moving eyes] 

  Dr. Robert Chase : Hannah? You still with us?

  Max : What's wrong with her eyes?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : [softly]  Looks like R.E.M.

  Max : What's that?

  Dr. Robert Chase : [looks over at her]  Rapid Eye Movements. It's what your eyes do when you're sleeping.

  Max : [voice breaking]  But, she's awake.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : [loudly]  Hannah. Hannah, can you hear me?

  Hannah : [slowly looks more alert]  Yeah, of course.

  [Chase looks seriously at Foreman] 

• Dr. Gregory House : What are you doing here? Who's keeping her awake?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Doesn't matter. Liver function tests are through the sky. The liver's not compromised. It's dead. She doesn't need a diagnosis. She needs a new liver.

  Dr. Gregory House : She's not getting a new liver unless we can figure out what's wrong with her.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Test for cirrhosis: 12 hours. Test for hepatitis: 8. Her liver's not going to last another 6.

  Dr. Gregory House : So your advice is we just give up?
