In this episode: Gregory House (4), Allison Cameron (2), James Wilson (1), Dr. Lisa Cuddy (1), Eric Foreman (1)

[House is attempting to put on a tie before his date with Cameron] The wide side's too short. You're gonna look like Lou Costello.

[sarcastically] Did your wife give them to you?

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.
