House M.D. 4x14

Living the Dream

Season 4, Episode 14

* Cuddy: Chase, Foreman, Cameron, up here, please. Why is House driving a limo?
   Foreman: Don't know.
   Cameron: Don't have to know.
   Chase: Don't care.
   Cuddy: Wrong.


* Are you really a doctor?
   House: Glioblastoma. Need more proof?


* Cameron: He should spend a night in the sleep lab, see if he gets a reflex erection.
   House: Confirmation is for wimps and altar boys. We don't need to wait for a reflex. If he can't get engorged the way God intended, then he can't get engorged.
   Cameron: I'm not showing him my boobs.
   House: Lack of response to your chest tells us nothing. Thirteen, show him... Where can I find a decent set of knockers around here?
   Cameron: Your porn's in the second drawer.

* Cuddy: What are you doing here?
   House: Just grabbing a snack.
   Cuddy: You keep food in the morgue?
   House: If I keep it in the lounge, everyone else eats it.
   Cuddy: That's because it's everyone else's food.
   House: I thought it was just everyone else's bags. ...


* Cameron: Doesn't the doctors' lounge have that same TV?
   House: No, they've got a 12-inch exactly like the one that used to be in here.


* Patient: You really as good as everyone seems to think you are?
   House: Are you really as miserable as everyone seems to think you are?
   Patient: I just want to do something that matters.
   House: Nothing matters. We're all just cockroaches, wildebeests dying on the riverbank. Nothing we do has any lasting meaning.
   Patient: And you think I'm miserable?
   House: If you're unhappy on the plane, jump out of it.
   Patient: I want to, but I can't.
   House: That's the problem with metaphors. They need interpretation. Jumping out of the plane is stupid.
   Patient: But what if I'm not in a plane? What if I'm just in a place I don't want to be?
   House: That's the other problem with metaphors. Yes, what if you're actually in an ice cream truck, and outside are candy and flowers and virgins? You're on a plane. We're all on planes. Life is dangerous and complicated, and it's a long way down.
   Patient: So, you're afraid to change?
   House: No, you're afraid to change. You'd rather imagine that you can escape, instead of actually try, because if you fail, you've got nothing.
   So, you'll give up the chance at something real, so you that can hold on to hope. Thing is, hope is for sissies.
   Patient: When I get out of here, I'm not going to be afraid anymore. I mean, how many guys get a second chance?
   House: Too many. Half the people I save don't deserve a second chance.
