Thirteen quotes from House

Foreman

You can't give up on life because...

Thirteen

I'm not giving up on life. I'm just giving up on you. I finally feel like I have a grip on things. I can handle this. What I can't handle is dragging anyone else down with me.

You slept with Foreman?

Thirteen

Sorry, you were busy.

Thirteen

Time zero.

I'm impressed. You didn't even flinch.

[smiles] I just went to my happy place.

Thirteen

[pauses while writing on her clipboard, eyes going wide] We cannot let House anywhere near this woman.

Where is your happy place?

My class. With them.

Thirteen

Past the first mark.

It's a great thing you do.

Not really. You know, most kids, typical children, you hand them a pair of scissors and they cut. Well, Tony he's got CP. And when I gave him scissors, we went on a journey together. Learning to get his fingers in those holes, to hold the scissors apart, to hold the paper. I mean, when he finally learned to cut, we both just... wept with joy.

[to the patient] If you ever meet our boss, just yes or no answers, okay?

Thirteen

You really think House took too many Vicodin?

Foreman

The guy pops them like candy, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.

Thirteen

Why are you still alive?

I'm not sure.

Thirteen

I think he was impressed you stood up to him. And that you got a cat to pee on his chair.

[meaningfully] Right. A cat.

Thirteen

She claims he got stronger as soon as she stopped breathing.

Taub

The mind can heal the body. Seeing his wife in distress might have actually have slowed down his death.

House

Or he just had an adrenaline surge when he saw his chance to hit the singles' market.

Thirteen

Deaf 14-year-old started hearing imaginary explosions.

House

Exploding head syndrome. Cool. Well, obviously his brain knows how to hear.

House

Taste this.

Thirteen

God. This might be the best thing I've ever eaten... and yes, I'm including what you're thinking of now.

Foreman

I brought you a donut. [pause] The florist was closed.

Thirteen

I'll get a vase and put it in water.

Foreman

Douglas owes me a favor.

Thirteen

Most people send chocolates.

Foreman

I'd stand outside your apartment all night holding up a boombox, except you told me you hate eighties music.

Thirteen

Stay out of my life.

House

Okay. [goes to shut the door, but Thirteen stops him.]

Thirteen

I know you cancelled my reservation. You obviously saw me log in when you were spying on me in the coffee shop.

House

I was talking to you. I was spying on the MILF in the running shorts.

Thirteen

Speaking of House... why did you come back? You must've taken a major paycut.

Taub

Life's too short to worry about money.

Thirteen

Your wife feel the same way?

Taub

She's happy to cut back on some things — like... sex.

Wilson

Where's House?

Taub

Performing his ritual hiding-from-Cuddy-to-avoid-getting-a-new-case dance. It's sort of a jazz-fusion kind of thing.

Thirteen

He's probably eating lunch in the morgue.

House

That receiver doesn't respond to manual stimulation. Maybe if you took off your shirt.

Thirteen

Actually, I resorted to something more exotic. I call it reading the instructions. Turns out if you screw the antennae into the wrong sockets, it doesn't actually work.

Thirteen

Why do you want to meet her so badly?

House

Psychopaths always fascinate me. I think it's their cultural literacy and strong family values. Or is that Jews?
