    • Goofs

    • Quotes

      Dr. Gregory House: [to Masters] If you tell anyone, I will get you thrown out of med school and I will destroy your career.

      Martha Masters: I've thought about that. Lying about me... won't work. Everybody knows your reputation.

      Dr. Gregory House: True, but I won't have to lie. Buried in your coma patient's big, big file is a form that doesn't allow treatment without the expressed consent of the relatives.

      Martha Masters: Wait...

      Dr. Gregory House: You drew blood and that's not just a screw-up. It's a criminal assault.

      Martha Masters: But you told me...

      Dr. Gregory House: No. As you may recall...

      [mimes zipping his lip]

      Martha Masters: You set me up? Why?

      Dr. Gregory House: Because this patient is the highest priority.

    Masterpiece

    This episode was brilliantly directed. It stands alone as being the darkest episode of the series.

    Every shot, every camera angle had a dark intenseness, the dialog most of all! From the private office conversations, to the "godfather like" low lighting in the intense scenes between house and cutty, to the threats to Masters, then puking in the bathroom. And splitting open Taub's face on the urinal.

    But House's low, gravelly, monetone, one on one dialog steals the show in creating that darkness that puts "Family Practice" a world apart from the rest of the series.
