Quotes
-
Dr. Gregory House : I need that phone call. I'm a doctor, and when someone tries to call you three times, it's code for "Pick up the damn phone before someone dies."
Sheriff Costello : I'm sure there's other smart doctors.
Dr. Gregory House : You'd be surprised.
-
Dr. James Wilson : That's how we met: I was in jail.
Sheriff Costello : This guy was a total stranger to you and you bailed him out?
Dr. Gregory House : It was a boring convention. I had to have somebody to drink with.

Dr. James Wilson : I'm not gonna sit here wasting time just so you can avoid your father's funeral.

Dr. James Wilson : [to the sherrif] Sir? Not to hurry you, but we need to be at a funeral in...
Sheriff Costello : Nobody is going anywhere or taking any phone calls till I hear back from Louisiana.
Dr. James Wilson : It's a really old warrant. Isn't there a statute of limitations on this kind of thing?
Dr. Gregory House : It's suspended when you flee the state.
Dr. James Wilson : I didn't flee the state. I left the state because I don't live in the state. And the charges were just so minor...
Sheriff Costello : Vandalism, destruction of property, assault.
Dr. James Wilson : There is a simple explanation. There was a medical convention in New Orleans...

Dr. James Wilson : I was fresh out of med school. I didn't know anybody at the convention.
Dr. Gregory House : You heard the man, Wilson. You don't have to explain.
Dr. James Wilson : I am not gonna sit here wasting time just so you can avoid your father's funeral!

Dr. James Wilson : I was at the hotel bar trying to unwind, have a drink. There was this guy who kept playing Billy Joel's "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" on the jukebox.
Sheriff Costello : Leave a Tender Moment is a good song.
Dr. Gregory House : It's a great song. He was out of line.
Sheriff Costello : Not as good as "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" or...
Dr. James Wilson : So I - I asked the man to stop, politely.
Dr. Gregory House : Yeah, you yelled politely.
Dr. James Wilson : I was polite the first couple of times, but courtesy made no impression on this ass, so I threw a bottle into the mirror which successfully conveyed my message.
Dr. Gregory House : And smashed a 10-foot antique mirror. And set an example to two other patrons who threw shot glasses.
Dr. James Wilson : I had nothing to do with that fight. The assault charge was totally bogus, and I paid for the mirror.
Sheriff Costello : I think I have the picture. I assume you're the guy who was playing the song.
Dr. Gregory House : No, I was the guy who bailed him out.
