House Quotes

Dr. Cuddy: It's not just your leg. You wanna get high. You're doing, what, 80 milligrams a day?
House: No. That's way too much. Moderation is the key. Unless there's pain.
Dr. Cuddy: It's double what you were taking when I hired you.
House: 'Cause you're twice as annoying.

Dr. Cuddy: I’ll give you a week off clinic duty if you can go a week off narcotics.
House: No way! I love the clinic.
Dr. Cuddy: You love the pills. Two weeks.
House: Pills don’t make me high. They make me neutral.
Dr. Cuddy: A month.
House: You’re on, mister.

Dr. Foreman: I took this job to work with you, not cover your butt. Your Vicodin.
House: And your solution is to give me drugs. That's interesting.
Dr. Foreman: No. Now I'm covering my butts. Take your pills before you kill this kid.

"You always trust me. It's a big mistake."
