House: This ray of sunshine is Doctor Lisa Cuddy. House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chitchat later, I'm Doctor Gregory House you can call me 'Greg.' I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning. Patient's Mother: How can you just sit there? Dr. House: Oh, sweet of you to ask, funny story, she was going to be a hospital administrator, but hated having to screw people like that. House: -the cutest little tennis outfit! My God, I thought I was going to have a heart attack! Oh my! I didn't see you there - That is so embarrassing. Cuddy: What are you doing back here? A patient? Dr. House: Hit a nerve? Don't worry, Foreman, I'm sure the guy who tucked you in at night was your daddy. Cameron: Who cares? If he got it from his parents they'd both be dead by now, can we get on with the differential diagnosis? Dr. House: That's what our moms would like us to believe.

Foreman: From what I've read false paternity is more like ten percent. House: Thirty percent of all dads out there don't realize they're raising someone else's kid. House: Yes, feel free to exclude any symptom if it makes your job easier.ĭr. If we exclude the night terrors it could be something systemic: his liver, kidneys, something outside the brain. Chase: It doesn't necessarily have to be that bad. It's always ugly - always! We can live with dignity - we can't die with it. I don't care if you can walk, see, wipe your own ass. House: There's no such thing! Our bodies break down, sometimes when we're 90, sometimes before we're even born, but it always happens and there's never any dignity in it. Rebecca Adler: I just want to die with a little dignity. Treating patients is what makes most doctors miserable. House: No, treating illnesses is why we became doctors. Foreman: Isn't treating patients why we became doctors? Dr. House doesn't like dealing with patients. House: I don't want them to think I'm a doctor.ĭr. Wilson: Then why don't you put on a white coat like the rest of us? Dr. House: You see that? They all assume I'm a patient because of this cane. Cuddy: I assume those are two separate points.ĭr. House: I'm angry! You're risking a patient's life. House: Ah, yes, but as the philosopher Jagger once said, ' You can't always get what you want.'ĭr. Cuddy: Your reputation won't last if you don't do your job the clinic is part of your job.
