Dr. CameronWhy is he here instead of the VA?
Because he has a rich uncle Cuddy's trying to avoid fellating who doesn't buy the VA's diagnosis of "nothing's wrong-atosis."
Do a full physical. Recheck his blood for HIV, hep C, malaria, schistosomiasis, and T strain A. baumannii just to make sure the VA's dotted their I's. And find out every hospital and clinic he's ever visited, every city he's ever lived in, and... whether he's ever been on TV.
Dr. CameronTV?
Problem could be neurological. Everyone knows TV rots your brain.
[Dr. Foreman, Dr. Cameron, and Dr. Chase are examining a candid photo of House taken by Emma]
This is definitely different.
It looks almost like...
Dr. Cameron...he's caring.
Any you guys ever been to the Galapagos?
Was our patient there? Dengue fever, Avian pox, even West Nile.
No, I'm looking for a vacation spot.
That mean we get vacation?
How would that differ from your current status?
Dr. CameronYou're going to do what? Relax?
Visiting family, my uncle's a giant turtle.
Dr. CameronI have read the outcome of mirror syndrome is almost always unfavorable.
Unfavorable... is that doctor-speak for "dead baby"?
Dr. House [to Dr. Chase]: Nice work.
Dr. CameronHe went home!
Work smart, not hard.
[House slams down new cane, a gloss black model with red and yellow flames painted on the bottom.]
Dr. CameronFlames?
Makes it look like I'm going fast.
[Dr. House is proud for having diagnosed a protein deficiency on a patient, arguing "It can't be tested; it can't be seen"]
[Disgusted] You're happy about this.
Dr. CameronShe's going to die!
That's not my fault, she was going to die anyway. Now, thanks to me, at least she'll know why.
I'm sure you'll see that gratitude in her eyes when you tell her.
Dr. CameronOther than a miracle it's the only other explanation for her symptoms.
How come God gets credit whenever something good happens?! Where was he when her heart stopped?
[After Cameron turns in her resignation letter to House]
Dr. CameronI've gotten all I can from this job.
What do you expect me to do? Break down and apologize? Beg Chase to come back?
Dr. CameronNo, I expect you to do what you always do. I expect you to make a joke and go on. I expect you to be just fine. I'll miss you.
[asking if Dobson isn't a doctor] You said one of us wasn't a doctor, and you called him a fraud.
He's not a doctor. Continue, Bos.
Could be an STD...
Why isn't he fired?
[starts randomly pressing buttons on the phone] Oh, you're breaking up! I'm going into a tunnel. Dark Religious Nut,...
[surprised] What did you call me?
I'm sorry. What do you people want to be called this week?
Cole.
Well, I'm never going to remember that. Take Bosley and the other visible minorities to the funeral home. The rest of you young, white people - the world is your oyster. An MRI with contrast, EEG, LP and blood panel. And Angels, be careful. [hangs up]
Dr. Cameron[about Dr. Cole] Just because he's religious, doesn't mean he won't kick your ass.
You wanna bet?
Dr. CameronNo, I want you to stop being such a jerk to him.
One hundred dollars.
[Dr. Cameron stops leaning on the desk]
Smart call. That guy's a wuss. He'll be the next one on the train.
Dr. CameronDefine "kick your ass".
Any physical confrontation...
Dr. Cameron...Or verbal.
Define "verbal".
Dr. CameronAnything over... 70 decibels. And you can't start suddenly being nice to him!
You realize what you're encouraging here?
Dr. Cameron[smiles] Yeah, someone kicking your ass.
Dr. Cameron[After winning a $100 bet] Cash will be fine.
I bet you say that to all the guys.
Dr. CameronWhen - when you were dying, you tried to infect me, because you knew I'd fight for you if I thought I was dying, too.
You're bringing this up now so I'll forgive you for messing with my patient?
Dr. CameronI'm happy I changed jobs. But, I know I'll never have that sort of... excitement.
You miss people trying to kill you?
Dr. CameronNo, I miss people doing whatever it takes to get the job done. [slight pause, Foreman nods] I guess that's why I'm having trouble giving it up.
[The movie crew is interviewing Cameron in the ER while she works on a patient]
So, before you worked here in the ER you worked for House, right?
Dr. CameronThree and a half years.
Why did you leave?
Hey, I - I don't want to be on TV. I'm not signing a release.
We'll blur you out.
Dr. Cameron[to the patient] Take off your pants.
[to the director] Will you be able to use any of this if I start swearing?
Did House treat you as badly as he treats his current fellows?
Dr. CameronLoaded question.
Faaaarrrkk! [chuckles] That's not even a word. [giggles] Fork!
[sarcastically] Very clever.
Dr. CameronI learned how to be a doctor from House. Or, at least a doctor who learned how to be a doctor from House, if that makes any sense.
And you left his team because... you couldn't stand him anymore?
Dr. Cameron[distracted] No, no, I - I love Dr. House.
[surprised] Now that's something we haven't heard.
Dr. CameronI mean, [slight pause] what did you ask me, again?
Why you left.
Dr. Cameron[confused, stuttering] I - I loved being... around him. Professionally, you know he was always... stimulating [realising what she just said] - not in the erotic sense of the word!
[giggling] Fork. They forked. And then they spooned.
Dr. CameronI am not giving you cable; you're gonna have to somehow survive with broadcast networks alone.
I'll be fine on Tuesdays...
[At the time, House was airing new episodes on Tuesdays at 9]
