Quotes 

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : Have you gotten anybody *else* mad at you?

  Dr. Gregory House : Well yeah. That's why I call it an ordinary week.

• Dr. Gregory House : I'm not stressed beyond the stress induced by telling you how stressed I am.

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : Umk, that's interesting. You present yourself as uh, not giving a damn about other's emotions, but your actions indication otherwise. You dismiss Alvie's story about his mother, but you cared enough to schedule a hearing?

  Dr. Gregory House : I cared for eight seconds. Then I got distracted.

• Dr. Gregory House : God's sakes Wilson! You really span the chasm between wishy and washy. If you're gonna be an ass, be an ass. Stick with it!

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Gregory House : [to Dr. Nolan]  What ever the answer is, you don't have it...

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : So where were you thinking during all this?

  Dr. Gregory House : That, it was a strange position to be in. At that moment, she was more comfortable with me than with her husband. And he was picking up on it.

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : It looks like you fell on the tip of someone's boot.

  Dr. Gregory House : ...I said something that someone objected to.

  Dr. Darryl Nolan : Well, if you don't remember then how can you - ?

  Dr. Gregory House : That's usually the way it is. Someone hits me. People who kick you when you're down are jerks, but they're generally not irrational jerks.

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : What's Taub doing in my imaginary version of a scene with Wilson and Cuddy?

  Dr. Gregory House : Your version needed to be ended. Because it's crap. It's all sweetness and light, and... faith that I'm going to choose the right path. Yeah, that sounds like Wilson.

• Dr. Darryl Nolan : You were willing to punish the husband and patient because you identified with him. He was also losing someone he loved.

  Dr. Gregory House : I'm not going to go out and get hammered because of a woman I'm not even with is moving in with someone. That'd be pathetic... To Hell with this! When I first came to you, I told you I wanted to be happy, and I followed your advice. Instead I'm miserable. How is this working for me?

  Dr. Darryl Nolan : It takes time.

• Dr. Gregory House : [scratching head]  Aren't therapists supposed to be nurturing?

  Dr. Darryl Nolan : Nowhere

  [pause] 

  Dr. Darryl Nolan : does it say that in the manual.

• Dr. James Wilson : Sam likes you.

  Dr. Gregory House : She wants me to move out.

  Dr. James Wilson : No. I want you to move out. I didn't know things with Sam would happen so quickly. I didn't - I don't want to make mistakes here. I've made a lot of mistakes.

• Dr. Gregory House : Patients are boring, as people. This one, I'm sure, was no exception. But her situation was interesting. Besides I was still avoiding Wilson. No better way to avoid than leaving the hospital.

• Dr. Gregory House : People's brains stop working when they think they're going to lose someone they love.
