House M.D. 2x04

TB or Not TB

Season 2, Episode 4

* House: Every minute that we refuse to love one another, another puppy cries another tear.
   Wilson: You're just mad because he's closer to a Nobel Prize than you are.
   House: And yet I've nailed more Swedish babes. Crazy, crazy world.
   Wilson: It's not just a trip to Stockholm, you know. It comes with a cash prize.
   House: Seriously? No wonder everybody's going after that peace thing.


* House: You figure anybody who gives a crap about people in Africa must be full of it?
   Cameron: Yes.
   House: There's an evolutionary imperative why we give a crap about our family and friends. And there's an evolutionary imperative why we don't give a crap about anybody else. If we loved all people indiscriminately, we couldn't function.
   Cameron: So the great humanitarian's as selfish as the rest of us?
   House: Just not as honest about it.

* Dr. Sebastian Charles: You're smart. You'll adapt.


* House: Do you ever notice how all the self-sacrificing women in history, Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa... can't think of any others, they all die alone. The men, on the other hand, get so much fuzz it's crazy.


* House: You rerun the test?
   Cameron: Yeah.
   House: This is good.
   Cameron: Good? This is bizarre.
   House: "Bizarre" is good. "Common" has hundreds of explanations. "Bizarre" has hardly any.


* Cameron: What else could cause low CSF sugar?
   House: I get to ask the questions. I've found you look a lot smarter asking questions than dumbly not answering them. {...}
   Cameron: How could he get high insulin levels?
   Chase: We've checked daily blood sugars, all normal.
   House: See how smart she looks? 'Cause she asked the question.


* Cameron: How do you prove something exists when you can't see it?
   House: Does God exist? Does the wind blow? We know because the leaves move. Look for effects.


* Cameron: He is a great doctor.
   House: The reality is irrelevant. I'll prove it.
   People who know me see me as an ass, treat me as an ass. People who don't know me see a cripple, treat me like a cripple.
