House M.D. 4x02

The Right Stuff

Season 4, Episode 2

* Patient 2 House: I need to do this off the books. I did the research.
   You're the best, you break rules, and you don't care about anyone except yourself.


* Wilson: I think you're gonna choose people for reasons that have nothing to do with their skills. I think you're going to choose people just because you can't stand them. Because if you like them, well, that's just. Stressful.


* House: Following numbers, thanks for playing: 21, 19, 8, 34, 17, 29, 5, 36, 2. Rest of you, 8:00 A.M. Sharp. I'll be in sometime between 10:00 and 3:00.


* Candidate: I did nothing wrong.
   House: Lots of people did nothing wrong.
   Candidate: Other people screwed up. I never even...
   House: Other people took chances.

* House 2 some Candidate 2 House's new team: Now, you all have numbers, so we're gonna do this alphabetically. 8, 15, and 5.


* House: Luckily, violence is not the last resort. Extortion is. So go ahead. Extort her.
   Candidate: If you don't open this door, we're going to break it down.
   House: Clever. An appeal to her deep concern for hospital property. Let's see how that works.
   Candidate: If you don't open this door, you're going to die.
   Patient: Go away!
   House: You seem to be getting to her.


* House: We need a control group to establish whether the liver's deterioration is within normal range. Got a big drinker, medium drinker, now I got a no-drinker.
   Candidate: Just do an MRI.
   House: You really think the guy who created heaven and earth cares what you put in your digestive tract?
   Candidate: Her dream shouldn't outrank my religious belief.
   House: Why not? Her dream might come true. All life is sacred, right?
   Candidate: We're not saving her life, we're doing a diagnostic test. Not even a real diagnostic test.
   House: Well, that fake test might really save her life. Would you pull an ass out of a pit on the sabbath? Would you or would you not pull an ass out of a pit on the sabbath?!
   Candidate: Fine. I'll do it.
  { ... later ... }
   House: The interesting question is why your religious beliefs are suddenly less important than her dreams. You're reversing your argument?
   Candidate: I know what I believe.
   House: I'm just not quite sure what you believe.
   Candidate: Well, God doesn't try to dictate every detail of our lives. When a situation isn't clear, we're encouraged to make our own decisions.
   House: But your judgment was to say no. You used my judgment.
   Candidate: You made a good argument.
   House: Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise there would be no religious people.
   Candidate: You're an atheist.
   House: Only on Christmas and Easter. The rest of the time, it doesn't really matter?
