[to Thirteen] I'll kill you. When the time comes, if you want me to. I'll do it now if you like. [looking behind him.] I've got a baseball bat in the back.

I'm glad you're gonna be sticking around after today.
Really? You want me to stay?
It's good to add a different perspective to the department. Someone who still remembers there are rules other than House's.
If I don't play by House's rules, he won't let me in.
Find a way around them.
I'd have to lie to him, which is still lying.
Lying about a lie, that's practically telling the truth.
Why are you lying about rehab?
Because the real reason I was gone is not something I want to share.
Couldn't you just say that? Should be enough for Foreman and the others.
How long have you worked here? House's people have personalities that range from nosy to, "pardon me while I do this cavity search."
She could die.
Pretty sure the law of the land states that everyone has the right to be an idiot. I think it's the Second Amendment.
Isn't that House's chicken?
Disgusting beasts. I don't know why I ever agreed to this bet.
So call it off.
And lose $20?
I broke the rules because I believed I was right.
You were right.
Then why don't I feel good or satisfied? Instead, I just feel like throwing up.
And you're following me to ask how I break the rules and maintain my rosy demeanor.
I didn't do it to be happy. I just thought I would be.
You can't always get what you want.

Sure, some people will screw up anything, but some won't. That kind of cash, he has a chance to turn a miserable life around.
Miserable stays miserable. Happy doesn't buy lottery tickets in the first place.
Our level of happiness is set. It's in our DNA. No cash payout's gonna change that.
It's like there's two of me.
My mother's lawyer called. She's threatening to sue the hospital over our mistreatment of her. Says it slowed her recovery.
You know, I was just thinking how much I want a relationship with no sex, but where I still have to deal with your mother.
No clinic hours for the next quarter.
And three parking spots, next to each other, so I can park diagonally. And three pairs of your underwear. I'm thinking of taking up sailing.
Forget it. Treat your patient, don't treat your patient. Come to the meeting, don't come to the meeting. I'm done playing your game.
You realize the game is automatically over when the loser loses, right?
Down on the patient's romance because your own lifespan is shorter than dinner and a movie?
You're the one who said miserable stays miserable.
You keep saying it. Several times a day.
I love being back, having every theory you and I share used as proof of my own personal damage.
It'll end horribly.
Not for him. She may take all his money, and he may be a naive idiot but he'll always be hopeful, so he'll always be happy.
You lost your mother. You euthanized your brother. You got the life expectancy of a pretty good sitcom. If you can convince yourself that you'd be miserable no matter what, even without all that stuff, then maybe you don't have to hate the universe, for dumping a giant turd on you. Fatalism is your survival mechanism.
And you? Dumped by everyone you've ever loved. Rehab was a bust. Your leg feels like someone took a giant bite out of it. We are who we are. Lotteries are stupid.
S7 E21The Fix
Karma's a bitch.
You think her seizures are the result of bad karma?
I think if you spend your days designing ever more effective ways to blow people up, stuff's bound to come back to you.
If he's ignoring you, it's because he trusts you.
No, it's not.
No, it's not, but he does.
Thanks. I feel warm inside.
TTerry
What the hell?
Don't worry. It's just epinephrine.
TTerry
Ep... is it dangerous?
In the wrong hands, very. So... yeah, sort of.
My theory is that he's only avoiding us because he really wants to avoid you.
Ma nishtana.
[Foreman looks blank]
You made it through med school without ever attending a seder? It means, "Why is this night different from all other nights?"
