House always has an agenda, just screwing with us isn't...
Yeah he'd never do that. Oh wait- He already did last year!
“Joy To The World” · Season 5, Episode 11

Irene Adler, Christmas, 2001. Sarcoid symptoms, but she didn't respond to methotrexate. I've never seen him so obsessed. He saved her with a last minute granulomatosis with polyangiitis diagnosis, but the hours he put in, I thought it would kill him. And then... well, he fell for her. But, it was too soon after Stacy. It sounds silly, but Irene was the one who got away.
Really?
No, you idiots! House is just screwing with you. You think there's some woman with a mysterious green wrapping paper trademark?
Then, how did you guess...
I could be wrong. It's possible a secret admirer gave House the same book I gave him last Christmas, and the same paper I wrapped it in, and the note I wrote.

I'm a virgin, so is my fiancé.
I believe him.

Are there other ways I could get pregnant? Like... sitting on a toilet seat?
Absolutely. There would need to be a guy sitting between you and a toilet seat, but yes, absolutely. [Before walking out] I was doing so well...
[House is in the clinic, attempting to rise to Wilson's challenge to be civil to other people. A patient with asthma is complaining that her inhaler is ineffective.]
AAnna
I go through one a week.
Are you sure you're using it right?
AAnna
Do I look like an idiot?
[slight pause while House clearly struggles not to say what he's thinking]
Nope... Why don't you show me how your inhaler works.
[the patient retrieves her inhaler from her purse. She releases two puffs from it, one on each side of her neck, as though applying perfume. She looks at House triumphantly.]
[shot of House, smiling tightly, then cut to shot of the clinic lobby. The exam room door opens and the patient strides out quickly, looking angry.]
AAnna
Jerk.
He doesn't want us to treat her.
If it's leukemia even if we kill every cancer cell. her heart and liver are too far gone.
A double transplant.
With brain involvement? The committee won't even open the file. There's no reason to put a dying girl through a painful treatment if it can't save her... He's being kind.
