Dr. HouseIs it okay if I save her life first or do you want to make sure daddy doesn't get visitation rights to the grave site?

Dr. House[in MRI chamber] Look, I'm a little busy right now. Not supposed to talk during these things. Got time Thursday?
Let me check. Oh! I got a plague. What about Friday?

Dr. HouseOkay, I say we stop the DDX and discuss that comment.
He's gonna need a lung transplant...
Dr. HouseHe's becoming more attractive by the minute, isn't he?
Dr. Cameron You're pleased...You think you've proved every marriage is a mistake.

These are your big ideas? Somebody's lying?
Dr. HouseHasn't let me down yet.
Test was negative, no semen allergy.
Dr. HouseBoyfriend sneaks in to get his freak on the night before the anaphylaxis. I don't buy that it's unrelated.
He loves her. Did everything he could to make sure she wouldn't get sick.
Dr. House[looking puzzled] What does that mean?
