House M.D. Episode's Best Quotes

    House Quotes
    • "She was being metaphorical. She was trying to to sound like me. I've got no idea what you mean, but I can smell what the Rock is cooking."

    • "Is this an intervention? It's a little late since I'm not using drugs anymore. I am however, still hooked on phonics."

    • Chase: House! Clancy has gone missing!
      House: Oh no! You take the Alpha Centauri, Foreman can look on Tattooine, and Cameron can set up an intergalactic checkpoint. Let's pray he hasn't gone into hyper-drive -- we'll never catch him.

    • House: "Now this is what I'm talking about! Foreman you gotta steal this thing for me."
    Foreman: "Let me ring up one of the homies."

    • "The kid is having nightmares. Only happen at night. It's right there in the name."

    House M.D. Episode Trivia
    House Episode Trivia
    • When Clancy goes into the machine to find the marked proteins, he goes in head first, but on the computer screen, it shows the results feet first.

    • When asked to put her diagnosis into a metaphor, Cameron said the nerves would "light up like a lightbulb." This is a simile, not a metaphor.

    • When Cameron suggests they make an antibody to a protein on the alien cells to tag them for the PET scan would take around 6 months to generate, screen, purify and label the new antibody, but on the show, it only took around a day.
