Quotes 

• Dr. Taub : And you're not worried you're being selfless to the point of self-denial?

  Della : You've never been inspired by someone?

• Dr. Taub : What's with the Death's head cane?

  Dr. Gregory House : They didn't have a Death's ass cane in my size.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : A Scare test is insane.

  Dr. Taub : Scare test is legitimate. Simulates real world conditions. This fling with Cuddy is insane. Flare gun? Scary enough?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : How about just telling her we're planning this stupid test? And I'm hoping House and Cuddy are more than just a fling. It's clearly mellowed him out. He didn't even care about Thirteen.

  Dr. Taub : Right, the guy who ordered us to stop the patient's heart has mellowed out. It's gonna be horrible because it's doomed. Which is just gonna make House 50 times more of a crank. Firecrackers! We can hide 'em under one of those covered food trays.

• Dr. Robert Chase : Did it ever occur to you that House is just happy, and could give a crap about other people's lives because of it?

  Dr. Taub : Well, that's ironic and depressing. And by that logic, the reason you don't give a crap is because you're happy. Which means you've got someone new, giving you chew toys.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You're one fourth right.

  Dr. Taub : Wait! Are you saying...

  [Both their pagers go off] 

  Dr. Taub : You're dating *four* women?

• Dr. Gregory House : Cat got your legs?

  Dr. Taub : We just decided to give meds that could kill the patient, based on a guess. You need approval from Cuddy. And she'll want to take the safer course. And you're gonna fold like an origami crane. So I'll just wait here until we get our actual orders.

  Dr. Gregory House : Fine. You do it. Tell her she's being an idiot for always choosing the safer course. She's sitting on her ample, if well-formed, bureaucratic ass while our patient's dying. We'll see who folds like an origami shrimp.

• Dr. Gregory House : If she'd told us about her symptoms sooner - like *ever* -she might not be dying. You were right after all.

  Dr. Taub : I never said sickle...

  Dr. Gregory House : "If everyone were more selfish, the world would be a better place."
