You're designing a kid, a loser kid, who's already getting pummeled at recess.
Here, knock yourself out. Go find sperm that can beat up 613's kids.
S2 E23Who's Your Daddy?
Diagnostically, she needed to be hurt. I wanted to hurt her. Win-win.
I'm a really good secret keeper, I never told anybody that Wilson wets his bed. Oh, you tricked me.
You're trying to end this discussion by grossing me out? I'm an oncologist, half my patients have their skin sloughing off.
Don't try to talk. You've got a big medical thing in your mouth.
S2 E24No Reason
He's got a temperature of 103.
And why do we care?
Because we're human beings. It's what we do. Said he was at a luncheon meeting.
You took his history?!
Guy looks like Harpo. You should see him.
You asked him what book he's currently reading.
It's hilarious to watch him try and talk. I asked him anything I could think of. Favorite color? "Bwuu."
[Cut to clinic.]
Favorite dessert topping? [The patient hesitates.] Trust me, you'll never know what fact may be the key to saving your life.

Whip cweam.
You wanna hear a story?
I have a rule: People who shoot me forfeit the right--
You're an ass.
Now, that is a bold position to take, given that I shot you.
The shooting just makes you an idiot. You're an ass because you're trying to wrap it in a flag like you did a good thing.
You're an ass and a hypocrite. You don't believe in rules, you do whatever you think is right, that's all I did; you were my role model.
Watch out, you're getting crumbs on the flag.
You think that the only truth that matters is the truth that can be measured. Good intentions don't count. What's in your heart doesn't count, but a man's life can be measured by how many tears are shed when he dies. Just because you can't measure them, just because you don't want to measure them, doesn't mean it's not real.
You don't want a healthy leg.
Ohh, here we go.
If you've got a good life, if you're healthy, you've got no reason to bitch; no reason to hate life.
Well here's the flaw in your argument. If I enjoy hating life I don't hate life, I enjoy it.
I didn't say it was rational. HIV testing is 99% accurate, which means there are some people who test positive who live with their own impending doom for months or years before finding out everything is okay. Weirdly, most of them don't react with happiness or even anger - they get depressed. Not because they wanted to die but because they've defined themselves by their disease. Suddenly, what made them, them, isn't real.
I don't define myself by my leg.
No-o, you have taken it one step further. The only way you could come to terms with your disability was to somehow make it mean nothing. So you had to redefine everything. You have dismissed anything physical. Anything not coldly, calculatingly intellectual.

You want to let a robot operate on me?
The technology is amazing. It magnifies everything ten times, it's ten times the accuracy.
VVince
No way, I want a person!
A person will be controlling the—
People suck. People have turned you from a guy with a swollen tongue into a guy with one eye, one ball and a stapled-on face. If you want someone to hold you while you cry yourself to sleep at night, choose warm and soft. If you want someone to write you a poem, pick the sensitive loner. If all you care about is that something's done right, pick the guy with the metal head.
[Cameron is lying down on the table, above are the arms of the robot. House is controlling the robot; Vince is sitting next to him.]
Relax Cameron, I'm not going to cut you. I just want to show what this puppy can do. I can make one millimeter incisions. You know how small that is? Small even in metric. If I do something that doesn't make sense, even to you, stop me. [He moves the robot's tweezer hand down to stroke Cameron's cheek.] Delicate, no? [He then lifts up the hem of her shirt and uses the air hand to blow air into her belly button. And then he cuts off a button on her blouse, peeling part of the shirt away to reveal her bra.]
House.
Does that hurt? [Cameron shakes her head.]
[to Vince] Seen enough?
VVince
No.
That wasn't a question.
S3 E1Meaning
[House has just run all the way from his home to the hospital]
Why did you...?
Why does a dog lick its workplace-acceptable euphemism for testicles?
Because he can.
We should give her a local.
That would defeat the point of me being nasty.
The fifth level of happiness involves creation, changing lives.
The sixth level is heroin, the seventh level is you going away.
