Allison Cameron quotes from House

Dr. Cameron

I have one evening with you, one chance. And I don't want to waste it talking about what movies you like or what wines you hate. I want to know how you feel—about me.

Dr. House

You live under the delusion that you can fix everything that isn't perfect. That's why you married a man who was dying of cancer. You don't love, you need. And now that your husband is dead, you're looking for your new charity case. That's why you're going out with me. I'm twice your age, I'm not great-looking, I'm not charming; I'm not even nice. What I am is what you need. I'm damaged.

Dr. Wilson

Do you think he was dead? Do you think those experiences were real?

Dr. House

Define real. They were real experiences. What they meant... Personally, I choose to believe that the white light people sometimes see, visions, this patient saw. They're all just chemical reactions that take place when the brain shuts down.

Dr. Foreman

You choose to believe that?

Dr. House

There's no conclusive science. My choice has no practical relevance to my life, I choose the outcome I find more comforting.

Dr. Cameron

You find it more comforting to believe that this is it?

Dr. House

I find it more comforting to believe that this isn't simply a test.

Dr. Cameron

[Coffee mug in hand, standing next to the whiteboard with one arm draped over it] Foreman! Are you going to contribute, or are you too tired from stealing cars? [Foreman and Chase stare at her] I'm being House. It's funny.

Dr. Foreman

[Deadpan] I know. You made milk come out of my nose.

Dr. House

You want third-world treatment? [Turns up the thermostat] You got it. Boy, is it hot here in Johnny!

Dr. Cameron

What are you doing?

Dr. House

What am I doing? [He knocks Sebastian's things onto the floor] Putting everything on the floor of the hut. Uh oh, wicked magic box with the moving pictures!

Dr. Cameron

You think he's a hypocrite?

Dr. House

[Unplugging the TV] Hypocrite? No, everybody in Africa's got cell phones or running water. [He has dropped Sebastian's cell phone in the toilet] Ha! This thing just will not flush.

Do you really think that if you come in here and make it a little hot, make it smell a little, that I'm just going to fold and abandon everything that matters to me?

Dr. House

[Wiping his cane on Sebastian's blanket] Lousy sanitation over there, too. You are not the same as them; your life is not the same. And you are cheapening everything they're going through by pretending you are.

Dr. Cameron

Why would you need $5,000?

Dr. Chase

Bad night at poker or a great night with a hooker.

Dr. House

Thank you for saving me the trouble of deflecting that personal question with a joke.

Dr. Cameron

[While searching Anica's house] She's got an appointment with her ophthalmologist on Tuesday and an appointment with her gynecologist on Thursday. Multiple appointments with multiple doctors... symptom of Munchausen's.

Dr. House

Or - just thinking outside the box here - she has a vagina and trouble reading.

Dr. House

Knowing is always better than not knowing.

Dr. Cameron

It's a referral request.

Dr. House

[holds up an open envelope] Right. HIV thing came in earlier. You're fine.

Dr. Cameron

[incensed] You won't read your mail, but you'll open mine?

Dr. House

It said confidential. I wanted to know.

Dr. Cameron

The most important letter of my life, and you're still an ass.

Dr. House

Comforting, isn't it?

Dr. Cameron

Could pain medication cause an orgasm?

Dr. House

I wish.

Dr. Cameron

His brain is like a waiter that's got too many...

Dr. House

Hey! I do the metaphors!

Dr. Cameron

We're mandated to report sexual abuse.

Dr. House

Is 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

We're going to cure her.

Dr. Cameron

We're going to cure death?

Dr. House

[laughs like a mad scientist] Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha! [normal voice] Doubt it.

Dr. Cameron

She's positive for gonorrhea.

Dr. House

I think that's the first time those words have been uttered in joy.

Dr. Cameron

His wife arranged it for an anniversary present. And if you ask me, if two people really trust each other, a threesome once every seven years might actually help a marriage.

Dr. House

Okay, I say we stop the DDX and discuss that comment.

Dr. Cameron

He's gonna need a lung transplant...

Dr. House

He's becoming more attractive by the minute, isn't he?

Dr. House

Do I look pleased?

Dr. Cameron

Ignorance is bliss.

Dr. Cameron

Test was negative, no semen allergy.

Dr. House

Boyfriend sneaks in to get his freak on the night before the anaphylaxis. I don't buy that it's unrelated.

Dr. Cameron

He loves her. Did everything he could to make sure she wouldn't get sick.

Dr. House

[looking puzzled] What does that mean?

Dr. Cameron

Love is an emotion certain people experience, similar to happiness. [smiles] You know, maybe I should give a more relatable example.

Dr. House

Oh, snap!
