House & Wilson

• Wilson: "You know, in some cultures, it's considered almost rude for one friend to spy on another. Of course, in Swedish, the word "friend" can also be translated as "limping twerp"."

• House: "I've been borrowing increasing amounts ever since you lent me 40 dollars a year ago. A little experiment to see where you draw the line."

Wilson: (dumbfounded) "You're (splutters)... You're trying to... objectively measure how much I value our friendship ?!"

House: "Hey, it's 5 grand. You've nothing to be ashamed of."

• Wilson: I've got no kids, my marriage sucks; I've only got two things that work for me: this job and this stupid, screwed-up friendship, and neither mattered enough to you to give one lousy speech.

House: They mattered.

• House: Maybe I don't wanna push this 'til it breaks.
