Chase13
What are some of your fav quotes? One of mine is: Chase-"We've got an MRI scheduled in 20 minutes. Earliest Foreman could get the machine." House-"I teach you to lie and cheat and steal and the second my back is turned you wait in line!" (Failure to Communicate)
noisynobody22
Ha ha, thats a good quote
I trying to think of some quotes but I cant. Not from one single episode. The classic quotes just come flying out of Dr House's mouth so thick and fast that I never have time to remember one before the next classic line comes.
Maybe I'll have to tape an episode and write some house quotes down on paper
Nasha
oh oh, my fav from season 1 .

House : (to wilson) What can I say ,chicks with no teeth turn me on.
kees_lady
How can you treat patients if you don't see them?

House: It's easy if you don't give a damn
cujo
This is from Detox

Cuddy: You know there's other ways to manage pain.

House: Like what, laughter, meditation?

Cuddy: Your in denial.

House: Right, never had infarction in my leg, no dead muscle, no nerve damage, doesn't even hurt, kinda tickles. Chicks dig this (lefts his cane up) better than a puppy.

Cuddy: You can't go a week without the drugs.

House: No, I DON'T want to go a week without the drugs...it'll hurt.
brattycatty
House: Why does everyone think I'm being sarcastic?!

(OK, that's easy because it's in the promo they keep showing, but it's a good one!)
amos13

" Hello sick people, i'm docter Gregery House." (mines better-just kidding )
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, here is one.

Dr. Wilson: I forgot I needed a reason to give a crap.

Dr. Gregory House: You're actually giving two craps.

Dr. Wilson: The metric system always confused me.
Poeia
The #1 House-ism:
Everybody lies.
............
From Paternity:
House: When did my signature get so girly?

Cameron: I can explain.

House: See that “G”, see how it makes a big loop on top? It doesn’t even look like my handwriting. Think I have something? What’s the differential diagnosis for writing “G’s” like a junior high school girl?
..............
House: Dr. Cuddy, great outfit.

Cuddy: What are you doing back here? Patient?

House: No, hooker. Went to my office instead of my home.
..............
Cameron: What about sex? [referring to a patient]

House: Well, it might get complicated. We work together. I am older, certainly, but maybe you like that.
........................
From Occam's Razor:
House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interest of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chit-chat later, I’m Dr. Gregory House. You can call me Gregg. I’m one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning...This ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy runs this whole hospital so, unfortunately, she’s much too busy to deal with you. I am a BORED [pause] certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I’m also the only doctor currently employed at this clinic who is here against his will. That is true, isn’t it? But not to worry, because for most of you this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin.
...................
Cameron: Men should grown up.

House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves, it’s not gonna happen.
............
House: [to clinic patient] You think it’s going to come out on its own? Are we talking bigger than a breadbasket? ‘Cause actually, it will come out on its own, which for small stuff is no problem. Gets wrapped up in a nice soft package and plop! Big stuff, you’re going to rip something, which speaking medically, is when the fun stops.

Patient: How did you –

House: You’ve been here half an hour and haven’t sat down, that tells me its location. You haven’t told me what it is, that tells me it’s humiliating. You have a little birdie carved on your arm, that tells me you have a high tolerance for humiliation, so I figure it’s not hemorrhoids. [pause] I’ve been a doctor 20 years, you’re not going to surprise me.

Patient: It’s an MP3 player.

House: Is it...is it because of the size, or the shape...or the pounding bass line?
................
From Maternity:
House: Because the hospital’s her [Cuddy's] baby, and her baby’s sick. If she doesn’t solve this soon, her head’s going to explode, and I don’t want to get any on me.
........................
From Fidelity
House: It’s a very sad thing, an un-calibrated centrifuge. It makes me cry too.
.....................
From Poison:
House: I assume “minimal at best” is your stiff upper lip British way of saying “no chance in hell”?

Chase: I’m Australian.

House: You put the Queen on your money. You’re British.
..................
House: She’s risking her son’s life based on a teenager’s claim that he washed something. How mentally incompetent can you get?
................
House: I’m sorry, but the fact that the sexual pleasure center of your cerebral cortex has been over-stimulated by spirochetes is a poor basis for a relationship. Learned that one the hard way.
........................
From DNR:
House: You’re talking about your penis in the third person.

Willie: Me and him, two people.

House: Separate vacations? That’d be a drag for one of you.
...................
House: Patients sometimes get better. You have no idea why, but unless you give a reason they won’t pay you. Anybody notice if there’s a full moon?

Cameron: You’re saying he just spontaneously got better?

House: No, I’m saying let’s rule out the lunar god and go from there.
..................
Hamilton: Gregg. Can I have a word?

House: Can it wait for the commercial...Marty? Say “hi” to my friend, Jimmy.

Hamilton: Pleasure. Your diagnostic trial...

House: Seriously, commercial’s in about five minutes.

Hamilton: ...it’s a dangerous game.

House: Only if we’re watching in the bathtub.
..............
Student: You’re reading a comic book.

House: And you’re calling attention to your bosom by wearing a low-cut top.Oh, I’m sorry, I thought we were having a state-the-obvious contest. I’m competitive by nature.
...................
Cuddy: You know, there are other ways to manage pain.

House: Like what, laughter? Meditation? Got a guy who can fix my third chakra?
........................
From Cursed:
House: Fascinating story. You thought of adapting it for the stage?
.................
Chase: How would you feel if I interfered in your personal life?

House: I’d hate it. That’s why I cleverly have no personal life.
..................
House: The little ones call me Uncle Gregg...You mentioned two obscure diseases to Dr. Chase. How’d you know about them?

Jeffery: I read about them on the internet.

House: So, what’d you search for? “Diseases from Asia that don’t match my son’s symptoms”?
........................
House: [to a Vicodin that was under some papers] There you are. Were you scared. It’s okay. You’re home now. [Swallows it.]
...................
From Control:
Cuddy: I need you to wear your lab coat.

House: I need two days of outrageous sex with someone obscenely younger than you. Like half your age.

Cuddy: Wear the coat.

House: Man oh man. Someone got spanked real good this morning.
....................
House: Oh, it’s storytime! Let me get my baba.
....................
Those are my favorites through the episodes that have shown on USA.

But my favorite is his playing air synthesizer to Baba O'Riley at the end of Control. And the tongue flicking across his lips when he's concentrating on something he really likes (it shows up again in future episodes.)
Meloni_fan54176
House: Bros before hoes.

House: Harsh toke dude!

And one of my personal favorites...
House: Who da man? I da man. I always suspected.

Hi Bubba here,

Dr. Cameron: Men should grow up.

Dr. House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not gonna happen.

Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here,

Dr. House: How does someone just start drooling? Chase? Were you wearing your short shorts?
Chase13
Cameron: You pulled my medical records?
House: You coughed the other day, I was concerned.
Cameron: You were curious. Like an eight year old boy with a puzzle that's just a little bit too grown up for him to figure out.
House: To-MAY-to. To-MAH-to.

--------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Cameron: That's not necessarily bad news.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Do you ever watch "Gilligan's Island" reruns and really, really think they're going to get off the island this time?

----------------------------------------------------------
Bill Arnello: You wanna get hit too?
Dr. Gregory House: That would be quite a trick. He slapped me so hard that his brother turned straight.
Bill Arnello: Joey is not gay.
Dr. Gregory House: Maybe not gay. But certainly delightful. And hitting a doctor. Even if it was only Chase... and then asking another to keep his chart fresh and homo free.

----------------------------------------------------------
House: [to Cuddy] Hey! He knows more homeless people than any of us!
House: [to Foreman] Go check out the hood, Dog!
Belz_da_Man
Alright, everyone knows this one:

House: Brilliant diagnosis!
jacey
House is searching for his pill he finds it and he says to the pill, "there u r, y were u hiding? were u scared, its time to go home" and then he takes the pill.
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here,

Dr. Wilson: That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality.

Dr. House: Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain.
seacer127
Wilson-"House who are your freinds"
House-"you and Karl down in accounting"
Wilson-"his name is kevin"
House-" so its his secret friendship name"
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here, here's one.........

Dr. Foreman: I think your argument is specious.

Dr. House: I think your tie is ugly.
abbottv
house: im thinking i can convince vogler it would be more cost-efficient to keep all of them.
wilson: yeah, you should be able to pull that off. most billionaires arent very good with numbers.
house: it will be more cost efficient once ive grabbed cameron's ass, call foreman a spade, and chase...well, i can grab his ass too.
wilson: you are uniquely talented in many areas but office politics is not one of them.

house: that paralysis thing. guy cant walk for two years, nobody knows why. it seems mildly interesting.
cuddy: forget his paralysis.
house: tell that to the rest of his bowling team.

house: what the hell are those?
cameron: candy canes.
house: candy canes? are you mocking me?
cameron: no! it’s Christmas and- and I-I-I thought–
house: relax. it’s a joke.

Hi Bubba here, here's one...............

(Talking about Cuddy)

Dr. Chase : You two are just too nasty to each other not to have been... nasty.

Dr. House: Hey, I can be a jerk to people I haven't slept with. I am that good.
Chase13
Dr. Wilson: [Wilson is quoting a poem from a patient of House's] 'The healer with his magic powers! / I could rub his gentle brow for hours. / His manly chest, his stubbled jaw, / Everything about him leaves me raw-'
Dr. House: Psych ward's upstairs.
Dr. Wilson: -with joy. Oh, House your very name / Will never leave this girl the same.' It's not bad for an 82-year-old. She asked me to give that to her true love.
Dr. House: What can I say? Chicks with no teeth turn me on.
Dr. Wilson: That's fairly disgusting.
Dr. House: That's ageism.
Dr. Wilson: You better watch yourself around this babe.

--------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Cuddy: If you would consider going to a shrink, I would pay for it myself. The hospital would hold a bake sale, for God's sake.
Bubba_Bridges
Hi Bubba here,

Dr. House: Perseverance does not equal worthiness. Next time you want to get my attention, wear something fun. Low-riding jeans are hot.
Mindi_Abair1
dr cuddy.. if you would consider going to a shrink, i would pay for it myself. the hospital would hold a bake sale, for God sake.
abbottv

house: No. if you talk to God your religious. if God talks to you, youre psychotic.

cuddy: dr house! we need you here!
house: sorry. a lot of sick people. i might catch something.

house: You like me. Why?
cameron: That’s kind of a sad question.
house: Just trying to figure out what makes you tick. I am not warm and fuzzy and you are basically a stuffed animal made by grandma

Hi Bubba here, great quotes guys.

Dr. Cameron: How would you describe my leadership skills?

Dr. House: Nonexistent... otherwise, excellent.
cujo
Argggggggg I dislike this man! Yes Volger!!!


Episode: Babies and Bathwater

Vogler: "Gregory House is a symbol of everything wrong with the health care industry. Waste, insubordination, doctors preening like they're kings and the hospital their own private fiefdom. Health care is a business, I'm gonna run it like one. I hereby move to revoke the tenure of Dr. Gregory House and terminate his employment at this hospital, effective immediately."

Woman on the Board: "Don't you think we should discuss this?"

Vogler: "We just did.
Chase13
House - No. If you talk to God you're religious, if God talks to you, you're psychotic.
brattycatty
Here's a good one from last night's episode on Fox. Foreman is acting all upbeat and positive since his brush with death, refusing to argue or trade quips. This drives House up the wall and he is baiting Foreman.

Foreman:(calmly) No matter how much your misery loves company, it's not getting mine.

From "Kids," on USA last night:

Cameron:(her condition to House, to come back to work) Dinner ... a real date.

YEAAAAAAH Cameron!

There's no available room, so the male doctors discuss the case in the bathroom, but are interrupted several times by grunting noises from a boy in a stall, who finally exits the stall.
House: "Do you know what a hemorrhoid is?"
Boy: "No."
House: "Then GOOGLE IT!!"

The question is: what exactly did House tell Cuddy after he covered his face in embarrassment when he noticed her risque blouse. Something about hospital administrators showing off their fun bags...

Here's most of that scene, from House at imbd.com (memorable quotes):

Cuddy: What are you doing?

House: Trying to think of anything except the produce department at Whole Foods.

Cuddy: I am working. It got hot. Stop acting like a thirteen-year-old!

House: Sorry. You just don't normally see breasts like that on Deans of Medicine.

Cuddy: Women can't be heads of hospitals? Or just ugly ones?

House: No, they can be babes. It's just you don't normally see their fun bags.

*This quote is from season 2 finale. If you have not seen it, you may not want to read this quote.









House: I always say if you're going to get shot, do it in a hospital.
Chase13
Dr. House: [hearing serious news about patient on phone] Check it again. I'll be right there.
Dr. Cuddy: What happened?
Dr. House: Apparently I can save money by switching to another long-distance carrier.


Dr. Gregory House: Well, there's the fever that Cameron was looking for.
Dr. Cameron: We knew if it was myelitis there had to be an -itis. This must be the infection that set it off.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. Except in this universe effect follows cause. I've complained about it, but...

House: When you're dying, everyone loves you.
Wilson: You use a cane, and nobody even likes you!
House: I'm not terminal.
HOUSE_MD
Weber:you can´t test test anything on an abnormal brain
House:That´s so close-minded,He´s not "abnormal".He´s special


house:"Only way to confirm this,inject the rat with her blood and wait for it to get all botulistic on your ass.In the meantime,I´m going downstairs to browbeat a scared,dying teenage girl until she breaks down like a scared,dying teenage girl".
Chase13
House: Chase killed that woman, and now Foreman's in charge?
Cuddy: Yeah, we have a pecking order here; if Cameron kills somebody, Chase takes over. There's a flow chart in the lobby.


Dr. Wilson: "Everybody lies"... except politicians? House, I believe you are a romantic. You didn't just believe him, you believed in him. You wanna come over tonight and watch old movies and cry?
Wilson: Dr. Cameron's getting to you. Well, I guess you can't be around that much *niceness* and not get any on you
House: Is that why you haven't put the moves on her?
Wilson: What makes you think I haven't put the moves on her?
House: [Stops and stares]
Wilson: Oh.
Wilson: Oh boy! You're in trouble.
[laughs and exits]
Chase13
House: Clue number one - if I were Jesus, curing this kid would be as easy as turning water into wine.
Foreman: Demonic possession?
House: Close, but no wafer.


House: Dr. Cuddy. Thanks for the consult. His throat seems to have some condition.
Cuddy: He has a sore throat.
House: Of *course*! Yes! Why didn't I... He... He said that it hurt and I should have deduced that it was sore.
Cuddy: I was in a board meeting.
House: Patients come first, right?

Dr. Wilson: I was watching something.

House: No, you were about to watch something. I'm watching something. See the difference?
Miriam
Here are some of my fav House quotes:

House: See that – they all assume I'm a patient because of the cane.
Dr. Wilson: Then why don't you put on a white coat like the rest of us?
House: Then they think I'm a doctor.

House: If we don't talk to them, they can't lie to us, and we can't lie to them. Humanity is overrated.

Dr. Cuddy: Patient is orange.
House: The color?
Dr. Cuddy: No, the fruit.
House: You mean yellow; it’s jaundice.
Dr. Cuddy: I mean orange.
House: Well, how orange?

House: Your wife is having an affair.
Orange-Colored Patient: What??
House: You're orange, you moron! It's one thing for you not to notice, but your wife hasn't picked up on the fact that her husband has changed colors. She's just not paying attention. Oh, by the way, do you consume just ridiculous amounts of carrots and mega-dose vitamins? The carrots turn you yellow, the niacin turns you red. Get a set of fingerpaints and figure it out.

Dr. Chase: It doesn't necessarily have to be that bad. If we exclude the night terrors it could be something systemic: his liver, kidneys, something outside the brain.
House: Yes, feel free to exclude any symptom if it makes your job easier

Dan's Mother: How can you just sit there?
House: If I eat standing up, I spill.

Dr. Wilson: Just tell Cuddy you have an urgent case.
House: That would be lying.
Dr. Wilson: And that would be wrong . . . ?

Funsten: You've caused me considerable mental stress.
House: I certainly hope so

House: It'd be like "The Boy Who Sued Wolf." You know, I bet we have a doctor here named ‘Wolf'. How perfect would that be – I think I'll page him.

Dr. Foreman: You want to bet on the patient's health?
House: You think that's bad luck? You think that God will smite him because of our insensitivity? Look, if God does, you make a quick fifty

Dr. Wilson: That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality.
House: Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain.

House: Make a note: I should never doubt myself.
Dr. Wilson: I think you'll remember. It wouldn't hurt for you to be wrong now and again.
House: What? You don't care about these people?

House: What would you want - a doctor who holds your hand while you die, or a doctor who ignores you while you get better? I guess it would particularly suck to have a doctor who ignores you while you die.

House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interests of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chit-chat later, I'm Dr. Gregory House. You can call me Greg. I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Dr. Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
House: This ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy runs this whole hospital so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board-certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I'm also the only doctor currently employed at this clinic who's forced to be here against his will. That is true, isn't it? But not to worry, because for most of you this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying you may see me reach for this. It's Vicodin - it's mine, you can't have any. And no, I do not have a pain-management problem, I have a pain problem. But who knows - maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me? (everyone stares) And...who would rather wait for one of the other two guys? (everyone raises their hands) Well, I'll be in Exam Room 1 if you change your mind.

Dr. Wilson: Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth.
House: And triteness kicks us in the nads.
Dr. Wilson: So true...

House: So how are we doing on cotton swabs today? If there's an acute shortage I could run home...
Dr. Cuddy: (looks at his leg) No you couldn't.
House: Nice...

House: No. There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is in fact a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every twenty feet between love and hate.

House: Why do you want me to treat this guy?
Dr. Wilson: Blood pressure's not responding to IV fluid...
House: No, no. I didn't ask how you planned to con me into treating him. I asked you why you want me to treat him.
Dr. Wilson: He's sick, I care, I'm pathetic.

House: (very friendly) C'mon, nobody's going to be mad. I just want to know who tried to kill the kid.

Robert Merrell: How can you treat someone without meeting him?
House: It's easy if you don't give a crap about him.

Dr. Chase: Good news: No epidemic.
Dr. Foreman: (to House) Tragic, huh?

House: Lift up your arms. You have a parasite.
Jill: Like a tapeworm or something?
House: Lie back and lift up your sweater.You can put your arms down.
Jill: Can you do anything about it?
House: Only for about a month or so. After that it becomes illegal to remove, except in a couple of states.
Jill: Illegal?
House: Don’t worry. Many women learn to embrace this parasite. They name it, dress it up in tiny clothes, arrange playdates with other parasites...
Jill: Playdates…
House: (showing her sonogram) It has your eyes.

Dr. Wilson: I'm still amazed you're in the same room as a patient.
House: People don't bother me until they get teeth.

House: Get up. We're going hunting.
Dr. Chase: For what?
House: Wabbits.
