House M.D. 3x01

Meaning

Season 3, Episode 1

* Cuddy: You ran here?
   House: It's just eight miles.
   Wilson: Why did you...
   House: Why does a dog lick its workplace-acceptable euphemism for testicles? Because he can.


* House: You want something. I want something. We compromise. It's the grownup way to resolve our differences.
   Cuddy: There already is a mechanism for that, it's called the employer-employee relationship. I get what I want, and you don't.


* Wilson: The first level of happiness...
   The fifth level of happiness involves creation, changing lives.
   House: The sixth level is heroin. The seventh level is you going away.

* Wilson: I heard you were watching surgery with a patient's family, talking to a patient's family. It's because of your hallucination, isn't it? After you were shot.
   You chose life. You decided you wanted meaning, so you took a case with no mystery, something any doctor could do, a case with no upside except the satisfaction of helping another human being.
   House: She thanked me.
   Wilson: And you felt nothing.
   House: I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel.
   Wilson: It's like your leg. It's atrophied. Keep working it. The feeling will come.


* House: Abdominal pain plus all that stuff could equal a pancreatic cyst.
   Cameron: Perfect. You managed to pick the one symptom he never had, abdominal pain.
   House: It's the first symptom on the board, "grunt."
   Cameron: Grunting isn't pathognomonic for abdominal pain.
   House: No, the traditional diagnostic marker is compression of the diaphragm, vibration of the larynx, leading to the audible sound, "I have a pain in my abdomen."


* House: Inject him with cortisol. The guy will have sex with his wife again. He'll hug his kid again. Hopefully, that's the combination he was using. It'd be a shame if I had cured a pedophile.


* Cuddy: I have to tell him. He was right.
   Wilson: Why did you do it? Why did you think he might be right?
   Cuddy: Because he's House.
   Wilson: Medically, what made you think he was right?
   Cuddy: Nothing.
   Wilson: He got lucky. That's all that happened. Telling him no was a good thing because next time, he won't get lucky. He'll kill someone. Just because he was right doesn't mean he wasn't wrong.
   Cuddy: I see him every day. I can't just...
   Wilson: Everybody lies.
