Dr. WilsonYou don't like yourself. But you do admire yourself. It's all you've got so you cling to it. You're so afraid if you change, you'll lose what makes you special.
[pause]
Dr. WilsonBeing miserable doesn't make you better than anybody else, House. It just makes you miserable.
Dr. WilsonYou're trying to end this discussion by grossing me out? I'm an oncologist, half my patients have their skin sloughing off.
Dr. Wilson[to Dr. House] I'm not getting sucked into the vortex of your insanity again.
WilsonThe main reason my third wife and I eloped was to avoid House's bachelor party... [Chase looks unimpressed] Have you seen Caligula?
Wilson[to House] It's easy to be nice to people you like. But being nice to people you hate, that's a skill. Do it.
WilsonBecause you're not ordinary, House. You're way out there on the fringe somewhere. I'm your best friend, and half the time I don't understand you. You're alone. Been alone your whole life.
WilsonIt looks like my watch has stopped. It seems never has arrived.
You see that? They all assume I'm a patient because of this cane.
Dr. WilsonThen why don't you put on a white coat like the rest of us?
I don't want them to think I'm a doctor.
Dr. Wilson[referring to babies] I'm still amazed you're actually in the same room with a patient.
People don't bug me until they get teeth.
You think I'm crazy.
Dr. WilsonWell, yeah, but that's not the problem. Didn't we just leave your office?
I like to walk.
As long as you're trying to be good, you can do whatever you want.
Dr. WilsonAnd as long as you're not trying, you can say whatever you want.
So between us, we can do anything. We can rule the world!
Last three months, same five ties. Thursday should be that paisley thing.
Dr. WilsonIt's a gift from my wife!
No it's not, Julie hates green. You bought that yourself. You want to look pretty, at work.[Pause, then in a sing-song tone] Wilson's got a girlfriend!
Dr. Wilson[Reading a poem Georgia left for Dr. House] "The healer with his magic powers/I could rub his gentle brow for hours/His manly chest, his stubbled jaw/Everything about him leaves me raw—"
Psych ward's upstairs.
Dr. Wilson"—with joy. Oh, House your very name / Will never leave this girl the same." It's not bad for an 82-year-old. She asked me to give that to her true love.
What can I say? Chicks with no teeth turn me on.
Dr. WilsonThat's fairly disgusting.
That's ageism.
Dr. WilsonYou better watch yourself around this babe.
Dr. WilsonYou really don't need to know everything about everybody.
I don't need to watch The O.C., but it makes me happy.
[House is snooping through Wilson's file to try finding out why Wilson is insisting on a homeless woman being treated]
Dr. WilsonYou know, in some cultures, it's considered almost rude for one friend to spy on another. Of course, in Swedish, the word "friend" can also be translated as "limping twerp."
[House's pager starts beeping]
Dr. WilsonDid your pager really just go off, or are you ditching the conversation?
Why can't both be true?
