House M.D. 4x08

You Don't Want to Know

Season 4, Episode 8

* Dr. Amber Volakis: What's the challenge?
   House: We can all applaud the doctor who's willing to break all the rules.
   But the real hero is the unsung doctor, toiling in anonymity, 'cause he broke the rules without getting caught. I need to know you have these skills. I need you... To bring me the thong of Lisa Cuddy.
   Not kidding. Thong. Cuddy. Go.
   Foreman: That's how I got hired.

* Thirteen: So then why aren't you worried?
   Patient: Either I'm dying or I'm not. I mean, I don't want the ride to be over, but unless worrying is some new form of treatment...

* 'Big Love' Cole: The patient predicted his own death.
   House: Would have been more impressive if he'd predicted that he wasn't gonna die? Of course, that takes longer to prove.


* Thirteen: What the hell is this?
   House: Looks like an envelope with the results of the genetic test for Huntington's inside.
   Thirteen: Did you look?
   House: I thought it'd be fun to find out together.
   Thirteen: I don't want to know.
   House: No. You're afraid to know.
   Thirteen: I might die. So could you. You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. The only difference is you don't have to know about it today, so why should I?
   House: I don't have to know the lottery numbers. But if someone offered them to me, I'd take them.
   Thirteen: You spend your whole life looking for answers... Because you think the next answer will change something, maybe make you a little less miserable. And you know that when you run out of questions, you don't just run out of answers. You run out of hope. You glad you know that?

unsung — неспетый; невоспетый
toil — достигать тяжёлым трудом
