HouseYou're turning white.
What does that mean?
HouseIt means he doesn't need football to get a good job anymore.
HouseYou know why you're black?
Because God loves me more than he does you?
HouseI was with your boytoy on a stakeout last night.
You were with Lucas?
HouseHe needed someone who could diagnose a soft tissue injury from across the street. Apparently he doesn't know any good doctors.
They should be pressuring other hospitals to be more like us, not trying to make us more like them. It's stupid.
HousePutting your job on the line in an effort to stamp out stupidity isn't?
You would.
HouseProbably. But then I also wanted to try to cure cancer by infecting a guy with malaria to win a $50 bet. You really want to be like me?
HouseThey're not going to fire you. And you're not going to quit.
Why not?
HouseBecause you're an idiot.
What are you doing tonight?
HouseMasturbating. I'd invite you, but people are already talking.
It's pathetic. You divide your nights between porn and the Discovery Channel.
HouseRight. Playing Dance Dance Revolution is a much better choice.
You plan on doing any work today?
HouseI thought I might do a little light doctoring in the afternoon.
[When Wilson invites Chase to go speed dating along with House]
HouseYou brought a date?
Wilson seemed to think it was a good idea.
You need to dive back into the pool.
HouseAnd he has to swim in ours? You go to a bar, you bring your ugly friends.
It's not a beauty pageant.
HouseLife is a beauty pageant. Little girls who kiss frogs expect them to turn into you.
Oh, come on. I'm not that good-looking.
HouseYeah, you are.
You kind of are.
So you attribute every relationship I've ever had to the height of my cheekbones?
Not the whole relationship. Just the beginning.
HouseThe rest is your hair.
[During speed dating]
HouseI'm a diagnostician. I find out what's wrong with people, and I fix it.
Don't all doctors do that?
HouseYeah, but they can't dance like I can.
[Texting between Taub and Rachel; then House and Rachel when he steals phone]
Whatcha doing?
groceries.
What r u wearing?
U don't want to know.
HouseTake off your shirt.
R u nuts?
HouseTouch yourself.
[Rachel smiles, contemplates. Back in House's office]
House! It's not funny. I got enough problems already.
HouseTrust me, this is gonna help.
HouseCome on, take the drug holiday. Numb yourself out.
I think you're the one who wants to numb himself out.
HouseI like being alone. At least, I convince myself that I'm better off that way. And then I met someone at a psychiatric hospital of all places. She changed me. And then she left. We're better off alone. We suffer alone. We die alone. Doesn't matter if you're a model husband, or father of the year. Tomorrow will be the same for you.
But yesterday would have been different.
People change, House.
HouseSure. They get older, ovaries start drying up, and nice guys like you look attractive again.
Hey. I can't believe I'm about to say this. Sam...
HouseTold you so.
No, she didn't dump me. She wants to get to know you better.
HouseDamn it. I never should have let her see me naked.
It goes against all my instincts, but I said all right.
HouseWhy?
She thinks I was hiding her from you.
HouseYou were.
I don't want her to know.
HouseSo you're asking me to condone a relationship based on lies and mistrust.
Yeah.
HouseWhen and where?
HouseI guess you've never heard the expression, "gas chromatography machines don't lie."
Neither does Miles. He's the best knight I've ever known. It's why he was chosen king.
HouseMiles is a jealous idiot. And you're just an idiot.
