Dr. Gregory House: I loathe weddings and their seven levels of hypocrisy. But you do seem awfully hissy. And there's an outside chance hat I could get you drunk and score. So as long as you don't take it as an admission of guilt, sure, count me in. A bit too much honesty?
Dr. Gregory House: Housekeeping. Either you're crazy or you're atoning for something naughty, and you're crazy.
Ramon: My Marisa was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Stage IV glioblastoma. When the doctors said she had two months to live, that's when I made my bargain.
Dr. Gregory House: With your health insurance carrier?
Ramon: With God.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh.
Ramon: I told him I would nail myself to a cross every year he kept her alive.
Dr. Gregory House: So how did that negotiation go? You lowballed with ear piercing and God countered?
Ramon: My ex-wife thinks I'm crazy too. She moved out the first time I did this.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, at least your daughter has one viable role model.
Marisa: You don't believe in God?
Dr. Gregory House: I did. Then I grew my curly hairs.
Dr. Gregory House: Causal determinism. We are hardwired to need answers. The caveman who heard a rustle in the bushes checked out to see what it was lived longer than the guy who assumed it was just a breeze. The problem is, when we don't find a logical answer, we settle for a stupid one. Ritual is what happens when we run out of rational.
Dr. Robert Chase: If you're done mocking him, we need to prep for an LP.
Dr. Gregory House: Good. Another hole in him should really make God's day.
Dr. James Wilson: I was buying an engagement ring. I'm gonna propose to Sam at the wedding.
Dr. Gregory House: That is the second stupidest thing I've heard today. And I'm surprised how close you came. You don't need to buy her a new ring. Isn't the first one good for all you can marry?
Dr. Gregory House: You want me to lie?
Dr. James Wilson: There's a lovely symmetry to it. The lie got you into it. A lie gets you out of it.
Dr. Chris Taub: What's it mean when somebody takes their cell phone into the bathroom when they're taking a shower?
Dr. Eric Foreman: It means they don't want you to check their calls, emails, or texts.
Dr. Robert Chase: If we're talking about your wife, it means the chickens are coming home to roost.
Dr. Gregory House: Fever, coughing up blood, coughing up teeth. So either God sweetened the deal with a "no flossing" clause or...
Dr. Gregory House: Trying to catch your wife cheating?
Dr. Chris Taub: Oh... Why would you say that?
Dr. Gregory House: Missing mojo. Posture's slumped. Expression defeated. Didn't try to back up your theory. And Chase told me. Go. Find your mojo.
Dr. Gregory House: You keep me happy, I return the favor. Think of it as tat for tit.
Dr. Gregory House: If you prick me, do I not bleed?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You knew I wouldn't like it, but you thought I would say I did. That's what this is about. You're trying to trap me into lying to you.
Dr. Gregory House: You sure? 'Cause that sounds so juvenile. (Cuddy leaves)
Dr. Robert Chase: You're okay with burglary now?
Martha Masters: I asked his permission. The reason we don't ask permission is we're afraid the patient is going to hide something, but our patient hasn't been home, lives alone. He doesn't have any help, and he has no motive to hide anything.
Dr. Gregory House: Cuddy got me the daughter's file. Well, not Cuddy exactly. Her signature. Well, not exactly her signature.
Dr. James Wilson: Maybe you hadn't heard. I'm kind of busy.
Dr. Gregory House: With what?
Dr. James Wilson: Sudoku. What do you think? I'm the head of oncology at a major hospital.
Dr. Gregory House: And yet these files are not from this hospital. These are from where-my-fiancee-works memorial.
Dr. James Wilson: If I don't help her, she can't go to the wedding and... We fell in love at her cousin's wedding, which is why I want to propose to her at a wedding. And now you have 60 seconds to berate me for that and for helping my girlfriend with her homework.
Dr. Gregory House: You don't want to propose at a wedding. Emotions running high, people on edge. You ought to try somewhere like a Buddhist temple or an aquarium. Or a Buddhist aquarium. That only took ten seconds. You can spend the rest of the time on my file.
Dr. Robert Chase: You want us to do a differential diagnosis on Jesus?
Martha Masters: Hears voices, thinks he's the son of God. Probably Schizophrenic.
Dr. Gregory House: Get an MRI of his brain. Let's see if we can find God.
Dr. Gregory House: You lied to make yourself older? Are you lying about being a woman?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Even if you can trap me, you think I'll suddenly embrace the value of lying?
Dr. Gregory House: My point is you already have. I just need to prove it.
Dr. Chris Taub: Chickens aren't roosting. She's just got a friend. A guy she met in an online support group for cheating spouses.
Dr. Robert Chase: I've heard of that group. It's called irony.
Dr. Chris Taub: You think she's cheating on her spouse with someone from a cheating spouse support group?
Dr. Robert Chase: Sounds like the perfect place to hit on vulnerable women.
Ramon: You didn't come to see if I was better. You came to see if your medicine has turned me into an atheist.
Dr. Gregory House: I'd settle for agnostic.
Ramon: Faith is not a disease.
Dr. Gregory House: No, of course not. On the other hand, it is communicable, and it kills a lot of people.
Dr. James Wilson: The daughter's case checks out. Stereotactic biopsy confirmed stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme. Doesn't respond to chemo, but they gave it to her anyway as a hail Mary and just got lucky.
Dr. Gregory House: So either God intervened, which is a lazy explanation, or we just don't know why. Which is no explanation.
Dr. James Wilson: Sometimes there is no explanation. And I'm just fine with that.
Dr. Gregory House: Which annoys me to no end.
Dr. Gregory House: I hate rehearsal dinners almost as much as I hate weddings.
Dr. Gregory House: The only reason anyone gets married is that homo erectus females needed protection from predators while breastfeeding. The only reason these two are getting married is to throw an obnoxious gala and make the rest of us feel unworthy. Even though we know in two years their lawyers are gonna be fighting over the Bentleys.
Dr. Gregory House: She's got looks. He's got money. One of them is bound to run out.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I give it 19 months.
Dr. Gregory House: That's very specific.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: No fault divorce in New Jersey requires couples to live at least 18 months apart. I'm actually only giving it a few weeks.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh. Thought I was supposed to be the dark one.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Not today.
Dr. Gregory House: The point is to suffer like your savior did, right? Well, he didn't take myrrh, the Tylenol of ancient Rome. And his nails went through his wrists, not through his palms. Palms are for sissies. And what about the 39 lashes and the beatings and the crown of thorns? What you go through is closer to a bad manicure than a crucifixion.
Ramon: It's not about showing God my pain. It's about showing him my faith. If he asks me to die for my daughter, I'll do it gladly.
Dr. Gregory House: Sticking by your convictions and damning the consequences. You two have a lot in common. You're both idiots.
Martha Masters: All conviction's equally ridiculous?
Dr. Gregory House: Just when they're applied indiscriminately to all circumstances.
Ramon: One day, you're going to understand.
Marisa: No, I'm not. I am never going to understand that. If God could do this, I hate God.
Dr. Gregory House: Someone looks lovely tonight.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thank you.
Dr. Gregory House: I meant me. Someone else looks simply stunning... That was you. And the blonde at the bar.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Just to be clear, this whole little act isn't gonna work. I need an apology. Not flattery.
Ramon: That's why we have beliefs. So we can still see the right thing to do when we're blinded with doubt and fear. Our beliefs define us. If we lose them, who are we?
Dr. James Wilson: No. No, I was thinking... I mean, if those two even have the slightest chance of making it, then we have to be a sure thing. And we've already made all our mistakes. And... I've come to realize that I love you even more than I thought I did. Sam, will you marry me again?
Dr. Gregory House: Hat trick, Chase. See? The life of the bachelor. All of the sex, none of the guilt.
Dr. Chris Taub: It's not over, okay? I just really miscalculated. I thought she'd forgiven me for everything. All those hurt feelings, they never really went away.
Dr. Gregory House: That makes a lot more sense.
Dr. Gregory House: I ran it twice. No mistake. Looks like God broke your deal. I'm sorry. But I'm also right.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Surprised you've got enough strength to come to work today.
Dr. Robert Chase: 36 hours is long enough for me to recover. And not nearly long enough for this guy to be getting better.
Dr. Gregory House: This patient is screwed. Technical term is dead as a doornail.
Ramon: Who is that?
Dr. Gregory House: God. You broke your deal with him, your daughter's fine, you're getting better. Nothing bad happened. Which can only mean one thing. There is no God. Of course, if your daughter gets hit by a meteorite today, I would have some serious egg on my face.
Ramon: It means I'm happy. It doesn't mean God doesn't exist. It just means he's-he's truly merciful. My beautiful Marisa was right. God is all about love.
Dr. Gregory House: Punishment is proof of God, and no punishment is proof of God? Ingenious argument.
Ramon: Faith isn't an argument. I'd like to see my daughter.
Martha Masters: Everyone else knew?
Dr. Gregory House: Everyone I could trust. So yes.
Dr. Gregory House: I've been an idiot. I got this argument stuck in my head. If everybody lies, then trust is not only unfounded and pointless, it's fictional. But trust is not an argument that can be won or lost. Maybe I just have to suspend my cynicism and believe. Maybe it's time I took a leap of faith. I'm sorry. I won't lie to you again.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thank you.
Dr. James Wilson: Sam left me.
Dr. Gregory House: What a moron.
Dr. James Wilson: Too soon. I'm still in love with her.
Dr. Gregory House: I meant you.
Dr. James Wilson: Does she know you're here?
Dr. Gregory House: I apologized to her.
Dr. James Wilson: Good for you.
Dr. Gregory House: Not really. I lied. I just took your advice. Too bad you didn't.
Dr. James Wilson: Good for you.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 7 - Pox on Our House
Dr. Gregory House: Why aren't you guys in my office?
Dr. Chris Taub: Why are you in the building? It's 8:00 in the morning.
Dr. Gregory House: Where's Chase?
Dr. Chris Taub: He's not here because it's 8:00 in the morning.
Martha Masters: Smallpox was eradicated over 30 years ago.
Dr. Gregory House: So were Hush Puppies. Have you checked out your local hipster coffee shop lately?
Dr. Chris Taub: The virus can't survive over 200 years.
Dr. Gregory House: You have.
Dr. Eric Foreman: We should test for the 21st-century suspects... varicella and measles...
Dr. Gregory House: You're free to perform whatever unnecessary tests you want, Foreman. Slavery was abolished years ago.
Dr. James Wilson: She's also probably never ordered the pasta special in the cafeteria. Would that also have some special paranoid message to send you?
Dr. Gregory House: What if I die of curiosity in the meantime?
Dr. James Wilson: You were an idiot for lying to her in the first place. Don't be more of an idiot now. Say nothing — to no one — about anything... That includes me.
Dr. Gregory House: Masters, have you got a boyfriend?
Martha Masters: That's none of your business.
Dr. Gregory House: Ah, probably just a dry spell.
Dr. Gregory House: Would you ever be extra nice to a theoretical boyfriend if you were really mad at him?
Martha Masters: I guess the only reason I would be extra nice is because I'm angry, and I just want him to go away so I don't have to deal with him anymore.
Dr. Gregory House: You passive-aggressive bitch!
Dr. Gregory House: Look, I don't want to go all Godfather on you. This was business. I wouldn't lie to you about something personal.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Well, you don't get to lie to me about anything. I can't compartmentalize my life like that.
Dr. Gregory House: Well, maybe you should practice, 'cause it comes in handy.
Dr. Gregory House: Bottom line: it's 30% fatal, which means your chances of being okay are about the same as a basketball player's chance at hitting a free throw, unless she finds dark, purplish skin blotches.
Lulu: What would purple blotches mean?
Martha Masters: Hemorrhagic-type smallpox.
Dr. Gregory House: In which case, her chances are more like Shaq hitting a free throw.
Dr. James Wilson: Are you saying you see House's side? It's not even a side. It's a fictional construction.
Dr. Samantha Carr: No, we have a different relationship... I think a better one. Lying was never part of it. Theirs is built on it.
Geerte: Oh, yes. My name is Geerte. Are you handsome sexiest American man?
Dr. Gregory House: Honey, could you email our new friend the Captain's log?
Martha Masters: Sure thing, Sexiest American man.
Dr. Gregory House: Scrofulicious... that's what they called "annoying" in the 1700s. Is she wrong? Then they died for nothing. Those slaves could have led long, fulfilling lives, mowing my ancestors' lawns.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Are you so afraid of this new girl, we have to take elaborate measures every time you want to skirt around ethical boundaries?
Dr. Gregory House: Elaborate measures? We took a walk... a walk you would have taken anyway. Actually, I saved you from the horrible post-differential traffic jam.
Dr. Robert Chase: Not really... not for them and not for you... the dad's new symptoms are consistent with them having smallpox.
Dr. Gregory House: Would be if he had a headache.
Dr. Robert Chase: He does have a headache.
Dr. Gregory House: No. He just said, "ow," and held his head.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Actually, he said, "ow."Then he said, "it's a headache."
Dr. Gregory House: Which could be indicative of head pain. Headache is caused by muscle tension or vascular stretching. Head pain is caused by trauma, which would include such events as a bleed in the brain from TB.
Dr. Robert Chase: You just tried this. I'm not a better liar than Foreman.
Dr. Gregory House: Sure, you are. You're descended from convicts.
Dr. Robert Chase: This isn't Cuddy. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work here.
Dr. Gregory House: These aren't the droids you're looking for.
Martha Masters: You don't trust me.
Dr. Gregory House: Going behind your back works better when you're not facing us.
Martha Masters: Instead of whatever lie you're gonna tell Broda, why don't you just tell him the truth? If we are honest and reasonable...
Dr. Gregory House: People of all races and creeds will live together in peace and harmony.
Martha Masters: So I guess honesty is the best policy.
Dr. Gregory House: Why'd you say that? Seriously? To establish your viewpoint, as if I didn't already know it, or to demonstrate some weird cross-generational female solidarity with Cuddy?
Martha Masters: Actually, I was just trying to fill the awkward silence.
Dr. Gregory House: Oh.
Martha Masters: Julie doesn't have smallpox.
Dr. Gregory House: Did I just dream the part where I finally agreed it was smallpox? Well, if what I thought was reality was actually a dream, then the reverse... Oh, my God. I had a threesome with Beyonce and Lady Gaga!
Dr. Chris Taub: So therefore your theory is you asked me to take the dad's blood, but I accidentally injected him with smallpox.
Dr. Gregory House: Exactly, although technically, it was the vaccinia virus, which is what the smallpox vaccine is made from. Same symptoms as smallpox, but only half the calories and almost none of the lethality.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: This is what happens when you have no respect for authority, no respect for anything.
Dr. Gregory House: You don't think it's a little much to use the threat of death to win a totally separate argument with your boyfriend?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You think this is about the other thing?
Dr. Gregory House: Does seem to track suspiciously closely.
Dr. Samantha Carr: I'm not great with kids. I love them, but I get scared that I'm gonna do the wrong thing, and then... I usually do. And that's what I did with the lying. And I'm very sorry about that. The reason why I did the wrong thing was because I was trying to get you to do the right thing. Your mommy and your Lamby both really need you to get better. So... do you think that... you could be really brave and do the right thing?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You have any fever?
Dr. Gregory House: Not yet. But when it does come, I assume you'll see the pettiness of being mad at me for lying.
Dr. Gregory House: So it's inconvenient. My having a fighting chance at life is inconvenient!
Dr. Gregory House: It's kind of hard to do an autopsy in oven mitts.
Martha Masters: Take them off.
Dr. Gregory House: Says the woman standing behind two panes of glass!
Martha Masters: Do you believe me? Forget me. Do you believe you? You think it's rickettsialpox, don't you? If it is, it's curable, and she's gonna die unless we can prove it.
Dr. Gregory House: You really are annoying...
Dr. James Wilson: You were good with her.
Dr. Samantha Carr: Yeah, only after being bad.
Dr. James Wilson: It takes practice.
Dr. Samantha Carr: Maybe I should get a puppy.
Dr. James Wilson: Yeah, or... pregnant?
Dr. Gregory House: When I was dying... you realized that a little white lie between coworkers wasn't such a big deal.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Yeah, and that was true... when you were dying.
Dr. Chris Taub: Why are you in the building? It's 8:00 in the morning.
Dr. Gregory House: Where's Chase?
Dr. Chris Taub: He's not here because it's 8:00 in the morning.
Martha Masters: Smallpox was eradicated over 30 years ago.

House M. D. Quotes - Season 7 Episode 6 - Office Politics
Joe Dugan: Well, that's great. You can be the most moderate ex-senator in the
country. Hal, the election is seven days away, and even our own internals show
you down six points.
Senator Hal Anderson: We've always been the underdog. And we've always found a way to win.
Joe Dugan: I know. Because you have always let me do what's needed to be done.
Dr. Gregory House: Look at it like this, of all the ways to rupture it, nothing honors the real Achilles more than blowing the dismount on a keg stand.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: What's that smell? Onions? Peppers? Oh, I know! It's a sausagefest.
Dr. Gregory House: Sausagefest implies multiples. Now, if you're talking about yardage, I'd have to agree.
Dr. Gregory House: She'll be incredibly useful if my next patient is an Escher drawing. Those things are seriously screwed up.
Dr. Gregory House: Just because my sausage has been filling your bun, it doesn't mean you get to decide what flavor chips I nosh on during the day.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Senator Anderson sent this case to us, and personally requested we take a look. That's reason enough for me.
Dr. Gregory House: Black guy campaigning for the opposition? Does Obama know about this?
Dr. Eric Foreman: I tried calling him on the brother hotline. He didn't pick up.
Dr. Gregory House: Martha M. Masters? I'm Dr. House. This is the rest of the team. Boring, Bimbo, and Bite-size. Martha enjoys quadratic equations, Italian frescoes, and her turn-ons include learning to be a doctor. Take a seat.
Dr. Gregory House: She's like the Internet with breasts. Oh, no, wait! The Internet has breasts.
Dr. Eric Foreman: If patients know we're coming, they can hide something relevant to their illness intentionally or unintentionally. Their knowledge changes things.
Dr. Chris Taub: Are you a vampire? It's okay. We're inviting you in.
Dr. Gregory House: E coli is found in animals. So unless he's drinking pork cider… (Having a
fake epiphany) Pork cider! (Points at Taub) I need the number of the patent
office.
Dr. Chris Taub: Masters refused to go on the search with us.
Dr. Gregory House: Interesting. Which raises the question, what is your problem with her?
Dr. Eric Foreman: He is intimidated by her intelligence.
Dr. Gregory House: Why would that bother Taub? He's been working with people smarter than him for a long time. I think perky new girl makes him feel old.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah, but she's a student. Makes you contemplate your med school days. Back when you had hair, muscle tone, and no need for a regular prostate exam.
Martha Masters: How can we ask our patients to trust us if we're not honest with them?
Dr. Chris Taub: How can we ask the patient to trust us after we tell him he can't trust us? Fine. Tell him. Clear your conscience, because that's what's important.
Joe Dugan: Medicine's like politics. At the end of the day, all that matters is results.
Martha Masters: That's not true. Respect matters. Honesty and integrity matter.
Joe Dugan: Have you ever thought about running for public office? Because I would love to have someone like you as an opponent.
Dr. Gregory House: Hooray! You popped your cherry, diagnostically speaking. Unfortunately, the first time always sucks. Pitch doesn't make any sense. Dugan's cornea was normal. You're obviously brilliant. So why would you hide your mind?
Dr. Gregory House: Rules are just helpful guidelines for stupid people who can't make up their own mind. You obviously don't fit into that category, so why put yourself
there?
Dr. Gregory House: Masters. If lying to a patient saved their life, would you do it?
Martha Masters: No.
Dr. Gregory House: That's a lie. If your grandma gave you a really crappy tea cozy for Christmas, would you tell her you liked it?
Martha Masters: Yes, but that's different.
Dr. Gregory House: So, you lie when it doesn't matter but you won't when it does. How'd you get so screwed up?
Dr. Gregory House: Never mind, then. She's got principles. She's like the love child of Einstein and Mary Poppins. Didn't even get Einstein's hair.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: It's worth having someone on the team who doesn't see the world entirely
as shades of gray.
Martha Masters: I wasn't looking for encouragement. It's a fact. Growing up, my whole life, really, I spent a lot of time by myself. And no one in high school wants to hang out with a kid that's three years younger than them. And studying Anosov diffeomorphisms, determining whether an unattributed landscape is a blakelock or a ryder or... I'm actually boring you right now.
Dr. Eric Foreman: We gotta give Masters some pointers, help her figure out how to deal with House.
Dr. Robert Chase: Why would I do that? The entertainment factor is off the charts. It's like watching a bunny hop into a buzz saw. Repeatedly.
Dr. Eric Foreman: And if we don't help her, she's out of here.
Dr. Robert Chase: No, something else is stopping House from firing her. I'm guessing it's his desire to keep having sex with Cuddy.
Joe Dugan: You say fears. I say rational, protective instincts. And judging by your accent, immigration probably isn't an issue you can be real impartial about.
Joe Dugan: He doesn't. You know that picture of him with the Mexican flags that seems to be from a pro-amnesty rally? That's from an amnesty international speech protesting the imprisonment of priests in Oaxaca. Yes, you did just prove that that ad is even more disgusting than you thought. You also proved that ad is effective. You still think my judgment is off?
Dr. Gregory House: So this guy spends his entire life campaigning against bleeding hearts. And it turns out he has one.
Dr. Gregory House: She can't diagnose a joke, but she's making progress on the patient.
Dr. Gregory House: The road to dead patients is paved with "or"s. Chemo is the more effective treatment, which means it'll confirm our diagnosis more quickly.
Martha Masters: I agree, but there is another option.
Dr. Gregory House: There are lots of other options. There's bloodletting, crystals, prayer...
Martha Masters: Another medically accepted option.
Dr. Gregory House: Which is both less effective and less scary. So the patient might just choose it. Unless, of course, we don't mention it to him.
Senator Hal Anderson: Doctor, can you talk some sense into him?
Dr. Gregory House: Would that I could, but ethics dictate that it's his decision. So all I can do now is return to my office knowing, even as my patient endangers himself, my integrity remains unblemished.
Dr. Gregory House: No, you're not. (he takes off his glasses) I don't mind your morality in theory. But in practice, you're risking my patient's life. So you're fired.
Martha Masters: As I recall, you have three actual doctors you haven't fired today.
Dr. Gregory House: They're in jail.
Martha Masters: What? Why?
Dr. Gregory House: Prostitution. So you're rehired.
Dr. Gregory House: He screwed you.
Joe Dugan: That was a hell of a move. Use the ad to shore up the base, fire the extremist to hold the center.
Dr. Chris Taub: We talked for an hour. She didn't remember me. She remembers the 20th digit of some math constant, but she doesn't remember a guy she had a one-on-one meeting with.
Dr. Robert Chase: Well, I barely remember you.
Dr. Chris Taub: Mystery solved. Now we can all go back to our lives.
Dr. Gregory House: Come on, stop pretending you're not gonna do this. As much as you hate me, you hate failing more.
Martha Masters: I didn't fail. You fired me. Repeatedly.
Dr. Gregory House: But if you walk away now, after I just rehired you, that's quitting.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: It's not an approved treatment and exposes us to liability. There's no way I can let you do this.
Martha Masters: That's an extremely cowardly position.
Dr. Gregory House: Listen to the genius.
Martha Masters: It's proper protocol for an unconventional treatment. But we shouldn't compromise patient care just to avoid lawsuits.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You'll figure something out. The two of you have combined I.Q. North of 300.
Dr. Gregory House: That's also true of five morons.
Dr. Gregory House: The world changes when you're on the inside. You just gotta roll with it once you get out.
Dr. Gregory House: Evidence, not proof.
Dr. James Wilson: You got two choices: To be honest and face the medical consequences, or lie and face the personal consequences.
Senator Hal Anderson: Now that you're my doctor, you can't tell anybody, right?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thank you. There was a time when you would have completely ignored my request. That means a lot that you respect me enough to do this.
Dr. Gregory House: I've come a long way, baby.
Dr. Gregory House: How'd you like to come work for me?
Martha Masters: It's like I'm on a Mobius strip.
Dr. Gregory House: We've had this conversation. You want this job.
Dr. Gregory House: Prove yourself to me, no more games. At least, the current game ends. Others may start. You have my deeply-flawed word.
Martha Masters: What do I have to do?
Dr. Gregory House: Get Dugan to let us give him hep A. And while you're figuring out the best way to coax a patient into a treatment that has an 85% mortality rate, here's some advice: Don't.
Dr. Gregory House: You have a math degree. So let's see if you can follow along here. You lie to him, he definitely consents, he might live. You tell him the truth like last time, he might not consent, he definitely dies. Remind me what's so wrong about lying?
Martha Masters: He's risking his career to give you this chance. He wouldn't do that if there was any other choice.
Martha Masters: You can pretend you wanted me to lie, but you didn't. You want the people on your team to challenge you otherwise you'd just be a bully instead of a great doctor. You hired me because I don't compromise my principals.
Dr. Gregory House: Or I want a front row seat when you wake up and realize how useless your principals are. I don't want you to just lie to a patient. I want you to want to lie to a patient.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: And miss the ultimate admission that I was right about Masters all along?
Dr. Gregory House: She had me when she called you a coward. You gonna hang out?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I have to work late. Gloating requires a lot of paperwork.
country. Hal, the election is seven days away, and even our own internals show
you down six points.
Senator Hal Anderson: We've always been the underdog. And we've always found a way to win.
Joe Dugan: I know. Because you have always let me do what's needed to be done.
Dr. Gregory House: Look at it like this, of all the ways to rupture it, nothing honors the real Achilles more than blowing the dismount on a keg stand.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: What's that smell? Onions? Peppers? Oh, I know! It's a sausagefest.
Dr. Gregory House: Sausagefest implies multiples. Now, if you're talking about yardage, I'd have to agree.
Dr. Gregory House: She'll be incredibly useful if my next patient is an Escher drawing. Those things are seriously screwed up.
Dr. Gregory House: Just because my sausage has been filling your bun, it doesn't mean you get to decide what flavor chips I nosh on during the day.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Senator Anderson sent this case to us, and personally requested we take a look. That's reason enough for me.
Dr. Gregory House: Black guy campaigning for the opposition? Does Obama know about this?
Dr. Eric Foreman: I tried calling him on the brother hotline. He didn't pick up.
Dr. Gregory House: Martha M. Masters? I'm Dr. House. This is the rest of the team. Boring, Bimbo, and Bite-size. Martha enjoys quadratic equations, Italian frescoes, and her turn-ons include learning to be a doctor. Take a seat.
Dr. Gregory House: She's like the Internet with breasts. Oh, no, wait! The Internet has breasts.
Dr. Eric Foreman: If patients know we're coming, they can hide something relevant to their illness intentionally or unintentionally. Their knowledge changes things.
Dr. Chris Taub: Are you a vampire? It's okay. We're inviting you in.
Dr. Gregory House: E coli is found in animals. So unless he's drinking pork cider… (Having a
fake epiphany) Pork cider! (Points at Taub) I need the number of the patent
office.
Dr. Chris Taub: Masters refused to go on the search with us.
Dr. Gregory House: Interesting. Which raises the question, what is your problem with her?
Dr. Eric Foreman: He is intimidated by her intelligence.

Newborn Filipinos in Singapore... Now what? - Part 2
This is the continuation of my previous post regarding the papers you need to do for your newborn kid in Singapore. http://raabad.blogspot.com/2010/08/newborn-filipinos-in-singapore-now-what.html
Reminder: This post is based from our experience back in November 2010. Some details might have changed since then.
Philippine Passport Collection
Although you generally have to arrive early at the Philippine Embassy to accomplish things faster, for passport collection you actually have a bit of a leeway. No need to be at the gates before 7:00 AM. I was there around 10:40 AM (I got queue number 49; the number being served at that time was 26). I was finished by 11:15 AM.
And -- perhaps more importantly -- there is NO NEED TO BRING THE BABY WITH YOU!!! Yep. There's absolutely no need. Dads can do this on their own, without tagging along the entire baby crew. Means you can move faster and you don't have to worry about your baby getting irritated with all the noise and the weather. Yipee for baby! :)
So here's what you bring along:
