Genetic tests take forever, you can't just keep testing for every inherited condition you think it might be.

You know what? I didn't let you come along so you could suck all the fun out of my one day of life.
Well, you're out of luck, 'cause that's totally why I'm here.
If your son does have mercury poisoning, there's a good chance he'll respond to the chelation. You might be able to have a few minutes with him before you lapse...

[turns around, upset] Why are you so concerned about me?
[Wilson gives up]
Deep inside, Wilson believes if he cares enough, he'll never have to die.
Why steal my pad?
[mockingly] Oh my God! You're right! I'm an addict, thanks for opening my eyes.
No, I mean why my pad. Foreman, Cameron, and Chase's pads are just as convenient, but their association with you is involuntary. They're employees. I associate with you through choice, and any relationship that involves choice, you have to see how far you can push before it breaks.
This is easy. You ask the questions, answer them, and make tasty snacks. Let's go try the casino.
And one day our friendship will break, and that will just prove your theory that relationships are conditional, and you don't need human connection or deserve it or whatever goes on in that rat-maze of your brain.
[to patient] Sorry, if I had known he was going to be this annoying, I would have stolen Dr. Cameron's pad and Dr. Foreman's car. At least she appreciates my brooding melancholy.
[cellphone rings, he answers] House's house of whining, state your complaint!
[explaining why he became a doctor] When I was 14, my father was stationed in Japan. I went rock climbing with this kid from school. He fell and got injured, and I had to bring him to the hospital. We came in through the wrong entrance, and passed this guy in the hall. He was a janitor. My friend came down with an infection, and the doctors didn't know what to do. So they brought in the janitor. He was a doctor. And a Buraku - one of Japan's untouchables. His ancestors had been slaughterers, gravediggers. And this guy he knew that he wasn't accepted by the staff, didn't even try. He didn't dress well. He didn't pretend to be one of them. People around that place didn't think he had anything they wanted, except when they needed him - because he was right, which meant that nothing else mattered. And they had to listen to him.
