James Wilson quotes from House

Dr. House

Any minute now, she’s going to hit him in the face with your testicles.

Dr. Wilson

She tends to treat... She tends to treat every event like it's the last copter out of Saigon.

Dr. House

She's the Anti-Wilson. A force for evil.

Dr. Wilson

She has an annoying quality. Perhaps even two. If I was perfect, I would date perfect.

Dr. House

You like that!

Dr. Wilson

It's annoying, but she's good at it.

Dr. House

Wait a second, this isn't just about the sex. You like her personality. You like that she's conniving. You like that she has no regard for consequences. You like that she can humiliate someone if it serves...[his eyes widen, long pause] Oh my God! You're sleeping with me!

Dr. House

[to Cuddy] You are King Solomon. [points to Wilson] If you want us to cut him in half, we're cool with that.

My boyfriend's too much of a wuss to make the call for himself. [turns to Wilson] And I mean that with all the love in the world.

Dr. Wilson

I'm gonna piss off one of them and they both scare me.

Dr. Wilson

A week ago you saw a symptom in a soap star.

Dr. House

Bad argument, since I was right about that.

Dr. Wilson

You can't do this.

Dr. House

It's not a good argument. It's not an argument at all. I'm sorry.

Dr. Wilson

Cuddy's right. I was afraid to do anything. I thought if everything just stopped, it would be okay.

Dr. House

And it's gonna be. Taub's starting treatment. We're doing everything-

Dr. Wilson

Not everything. Before you warm her up, you said that you wanted to try deep-brain stimulation.

Dr. House

There's no reason. We know the symptom. We know what I saw.

Dr. Wilson

What if it's not the rash? What if you noticed the rash on the ambulance when we were putting her on bypass? What if there is still something else stuck inside your head?

Dr. House

You think I should risk my life to save Amber's?

Dr. Wilson

You should call time of death.

Dr. Cuddy

Technically, she's still alive. Could probably survive a few more hours on bypass. We can wean her off anesthesia, wake her up, give you a chance to-

Dr. Wilson

That would be cruel. Don't.

Dr. Cuddy

Wake Amber up. See her again. Tell her what she means to you.

Dr. Wilson

Wake her up to tell her that she's... that she's... [Wilson breaks down. Cuddy embraces him.]

Dr. Cuddy

You are waking her up so that you could both say goodbye to each other. She would want it.

[dying] I'm tired [Wilson nods]... I think it's time to go to sleep...

Dr. Wilson

[crying] Just a little bit longer.

We're always going to want... just a little bit longer.

Dr. Wilson

I don't think I can do it.

It's ok.

Dr. Wilson

It's not ok... why is is ok with you? Why aren't you angry?

That's not the last feeling... that I want to experience.

Wilson

I don't blame you. I wanted to. I tried to. I must have reviewed Amber's case file 100 times to find a way... but it wasn't your fault.

House

Then... we're okay? I mean, I know you're not, but... maybe I can help.

Wilson

We're not okay. Amber was never the reason I was leaving. I didn't want to tell you because... because I was trying, like I always do, to protect you. Which is the problem. You spread misery because you can't feel anything else. You manipulate people because you can't handle any kind of real relationship. And I've enabled it, for years, the games, the binges, the middle of the night phone calls. I should've been the one on the bus, not... you should have been alone on the bus. If I learned anything from Amber it's that I have to take care of myself. We're not friends anymore, House. I'm not sure we ever were.

House

Differential. Say you're a middle-aged Chinese woman..

Wilson

Fine.

House

Say it.

Wilson

"I'm a middle-aged Chinese woman."

Wilson

Well, I guess nobody gets to choose who their parents are. I'm not even sure anymore we get to choose who our friends are. [House glances up at him questioningly] I spoke with Cuddy, she hasn't filled my position yet.

House

If you're coming back just because you're attracted to the shine of my neediness... [Wilson smiles] ...I'd be okay with that.

Wilson

I'm coming back because you're right. That strange annoying trip we just took was the most fun I've had since Amber died.

House

[gives him a long look] You hungry?

Wilson

[nods]

House

[pauses] Wilson.

Wilson

[Wilson looks at him] Yeah?

House

My dad's dead.

Wilson

Yeah. My sympathies.

House

I need a genetic disease.

Wilson

I'm sure you're carrying a few.

Wilson

Did you speak to Cuddy last night?

House

She's fine. Why would it take anyone more than a few hours to get over misplacing a baby?

Wilson

You spoke to her?

House

Kinda hit that, so she's all on my jock.

Wilson

Whoa...wha..what?

House

Huh. Everyone else thought I was kidding.

Wilson

You hit? Like making out? Or full on sex or -

House

Got a chart laid out with all the bases. I'll take you through it.

Wilson

Well, what are you going to do?

House

What can I do? I'm going to ignore her for the rest of my life. This mosquito bite kept me awake -

Wilson

Don't care about the bug bite. She's your boss.

House

So now I have two reasons to ignore her. It was...just a kiss.

Wilson

There's a reason -

House

Yes. Those large things in her bra.

Wilson

You were hiding it from me! Means it meant something to you.

House

Yeah, I fiendishly concealed it within the phrase 'I hit that'.

Wilson

If you dated Cuddy there would -

House

Sorry, I get better reception when you're not here.

House

I went to Cuddy's house. I didn't go in. I went home without ringing either her metaphorical or actual bell.

Wilson

Huh.

House

You're processing.

Wilson

I'm scrubbing.

House

'Huh' means processing.

Wilson

'Huh' means acknowledging. If you prefer I can say 'hah', or 'hmm' or -

House

No insights, no opinions? You're disappointing.

Wilson

You made a decision. I can't tell you what's right for you.

House

Seriously? Because last week you could. Last year you could. It seems to come pretty easy to you.

Wilson

Do you want me to tell you what you should do?

House

I want you to stop thinking that acting inscrutable makes you anything other than annoying.

Wilson

Interesting. [walks off]

House

[calls after him] Holding things in can give you cancer!

Wilson

Irene Adler, Christmas, 2001. Sarcoid symptoms, but she didn't respond to methotrexate. I've never seen him so obsessed. He saved her with a last minute granulomatosis with polyangiitis diagnosis, but the hours he put in, I thought it would kill him. And then... well, he fell for her. But, it was too soon after Stacy. It sounds silly, but Irene was the one who got away.

Really?

Wilson

No, you idiots! House is just screwing with you. You think there's some woman with a mysterious green wrapping paper trademark?

Taub

Then, how did you guess...

Wilson

I could be wrong. It's possible a secret admirer gave House the same book I gave him last Christmas, and the same paper I wrapped it in, and the note I wrote.

Cuddy

He doesn't want us to treat her.

Wilson

If it's leukemia even if we kill every cancer cell. her heart and liver are too far gone.

Cuddy

A double transplant.

Wilson

With brain involvement? The committee won't even open the file. There's no reason to put a dying girl through a painful treatment if it can't save her... He's being kind.
