- Dr. Darryl Nolan: Have you gotten anybody *else* mad at you?
- Dr. Gregory House: Well yeah. That's why I call it an ordinary week.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: Umk, that's interesting. You present yourself as uh, not giving a damn about other's emotions, but your actions indication otherwise. You dismiss Alvie's story about his mother, but you cared enough to schedule a hearing?
- Dr. Gregory House: I cared for eight seconds. Then I got distracted.
- Dr. Gregory House: God's sakes Wilson! You really span the chasm between wishy and washy. If you're gonna be an ass, be an ass. Stick with it!
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: So where were you thinking during all this?
- Dr. Gregory House: That, it was a strange position to be in. At that moment, she was more comfortable with me than with her husband. And he was picking up on it.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: It looks like you fell on the tip of someone's boot.
- Dr. Gregory House: ...I said something that someone objected to.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: Well, if you don't remember then how can you - ?
- Dr. Gregory House: That's usually the way it is. Someone hits me. People who kick you when you're down are jerks, but they're generally not irrational jerks.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: What's Taub doing in my imaginary version of a scene with Wilson and Cuddy?
- Dr. Gregory House: Your version needed to be ended. Because it's crap. It's all sweetness and light, and... faith that I'm going to choose the right path. Yeah, that sounds like Wilson.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: You were willing to punish the husband and patient because you identified with him. He was also losing someone he loved.
- Dr. Gregory House: I'm not going to go out and get hammered because of a woman I'm not even with is moving in with someone. That'd be pathetic... To Hell with this! When I first came to you, I told you I wanted to be happy, and I followed your advice. Instead I'm miserable. How is this working for me?
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: It takes time.
- Dr. Gregory House: [scratching head] Aren't therapists supposed to be nurturing?
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: Nowhere
- [pause]
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: does it say that in the manual.
- Dr. James Wilson: Sam likes you.
- Dr. Gregory House: She wants me to move out.
- Dr. James Wilson: No. I want you to move out. I didn't know things with Sam would happen so quickly. I didn't - I don't want to make mistakes here. I've made a lot of mistakes.
- Dr. Gregory House: Patients are boring, as people. This one, I'm sure, was no exception. But her situation was interesting. Besides I was still avoiding Wilson. No better way to avoid than leaving the hospital.
- Dr. Gregory House: People's brains stop working when they think they're going to lose someone they love.
