Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)

Jennifer Morrison: Dr. Allison Cameron

Quotes 

• Dr. Allison Cameron : [coming in, with Foreman and Chase, to announce a patient's symptoms]  We've got rectal bleeding.

  Dr. Gregory House : What, all of you?

• Dr. Allison Cameron : Do you have any idea what it feels like to have a six foot long hose shoved into your large intestine?

  Dr. Gregory House : No, but I now have a much greater respect for whichever basketball player you dated in college.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I don't own House's cases. You had just as much right as I did to write it up. You should have told me but... I should've handled it better too.

  [pauses] 

  Dr. Allison Cameron : If we want this not to get in the way of our friendship, I think we both have to apologize and put it behind us.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I like you, really. We have a good time working together. But ten years from now, we're not gonna be hanging out, having dinners. Maybe we'll exchange Christmas cards, say "Hi," give a hug if we're at the same conference. We're not friends, we're colleagues. And I don't have anything to apologize for.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : Lovely. Revenge as motive for success.

  Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Well, it doesn't have to be motive. But it sure tastes good.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : Is this just one of your experiments? You just wanted to see how I'd react to being screwed over by Foreman?

  Dr. Gregory House : Nice idea, but no. This was just good old-fashioned laziness. Gotta hand it to Foreman though, he knew that you were a suck up and I don't give a crap. He successfully exploited us both.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Right. We're both victims. A simple heads up, that's all I needed. Maybe between your incredibly witty remarks about anal sex and Cuddy's breasts, you could have tipped me off.

  Dr. Gregory House : Then I'd have Foreman pissed at me. And as annoying as you can be, at least I know you're not going to pop a cap in my ass. Witty, huh?

• Dr. Gregory House : [looks after her as she walks]  You, on the other hand,

  [Cameron stops in her tracks and turns to him, hands on her hips] 

  Dr. Gregory House : continue to be flabbergasted every time someone actually acts like a human being.

  [Cameron softly scoffs] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Foreman did what he did 'cause it worked out best that way for him.

  [slightly bends over and raises his eyebrows] 

  Dr. Gregory House : That's what everyone does.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : That is not the definition of being human. That's the definition of being an ass.

  [walks away and House turns his head in frustration; cut to moving shot of hospital with background music] 

• Dr. Gregory House : Whatever this woman has, it's not showing up on our tests which means she's sick. Just not sick enough for us to see it.

  Dr. Robert Chase : You want us to make her sicker?

  Dr. Gregory House : Yes. I want to stress her body. Specifically her brain. Keep her awake.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Depriving her of even the few minutes of sleep she does have, it's torture.

  Dr. Gregory House : So is cutting people with knives, but you can totally get away with that if you have a doctor coat on.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : [to Foreman]  You stole my article.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I wouldn't do that.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : I wrote up the case where we induced hypothermic cardiac arrest in the terminal cancer girl.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I wrote my own. I didn't steal yours.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : You knew I was writing one. You gave me notes!

  Dr. Gregory House : Got a case. It can wait. You two finish.

  [to Chase] 

  Dr. Gregory House : Five bucks says someone loses an eye.
