House M.D. Episode's Best Quotes

    House Quotes
    • Marty Hamilton: You enjoy working with Dr. House?
      Dr. Foreman: Not the word I'd use . . .

    • House: Next time you want to make me feel all warm and fuzzy, leave me a message.

    • Dr. Cuddy: When I hired you, I knew you were insane. I will continue to try and stop you from doing insane things, but once they’re done… Trying to convince an insane person not to do insane things is, in itself, insane. So when I hired you I also set aside $50,000 a year for legal expenses. So far you’ve come in under budget.

    • Dr. Wilson: So your philosophy is, if they don't want treatment they get it shoved down their throat, but if it might cure their paralysis, Whoa, you'd better slow down.
      House: Yeah, My old philosophy used to be Live and Let Live', but I'm taking this needlepoint class and they gave us these really big pillows.
      Dr. Wilson: What's your philosophy on employee relations?
      House: That's a very tiny pillow.

    • "Like I always say, there's no 'I' in team. There's a 'me,' though, if you jumble it up."

    • Foreman: "You assaulted that man!"
    • House: "Fine. I'll never do it again."
    • Foreman: "Yes you will."
    • House: "All the more reason this debate is pointless."
