Сезон 4. Поехали!

Alone

Season 4, Episode 1

* Cuddy: Have you even interviewed anybody?
   House: You test-drive a car before you buy it. You have sex before you get married. I can't hire a team based on a 10-minute interview. What if I don't like having sex with them?


* Cuddy: You've spent the last two weeks doing absolutely nothing. Concert is over.
   House: In what twisted universe does mastering Eddie Van Halen's two-handed arpeggio technique count as "absolutely nothing"?


* House: The file says she was sick before the building collapsed.
   Patient boyfriend: Yeah, I figured it was just a cold. Why, do you think it's related?
   House: Her being sick and her being sick? Often is.


* Cuddy: Morning.
   House: Huh!
   Cuddy: Where did you come from?
   House: Apes, if you believe the Democrats.

* Cuddy: You're wrong.
   House: Well, who are you gonna believe? A classic toy, or a woman who, if she had any confidence in her ideas, wouldn't feel the need to distract you with a wander bra?


* Wilson: What's the real reason you won't hire a team?
   House: I told you. I don't need a team.
   Wilson: Then hire three people and let them sit on their asses.
   House: That wouldn't be right.
   Wilson: Three years ago, you hired a team. What's changed?
   House: I've become a man of principle. I've gotten smarter. What answer will make Socrates shut up?
   Wilson: What's changed is, you hired a team. You connected with a team, you worked with a team and you lost a team.
   You fall in love. You get married. 50/50 chance it'll end in misery. Hiring employees can be even tougher, because you know, eventually, they're gonna leave.
   You got hurt.


* House: Are you a fan of symmetry?
   Young Doctor: Sure.
   House: Weird. 'Cause your eyes are lopsided, and by eyes I mean breasts.


* House: Sometimes I am wrong. I have a gift for observation. For reading people and situations, but sometimes I am wrong.
   This will be the longest job interview of your life. I will test you in ways that you will often consider unfair, demeaning and illegal. And you'll often be right.
   Look to your left. Now look to your right. By the end of six weeks, one of you will be gone, as will 28 more of you.
   Wear a cup.



--- Словарик:
lopsided — несимметричный
demean — унижаться, ронять своё достоинство
