	Season 6 / Episode 3: - The Tyrant Dr. James Wilson: It's just a wild coincidence that he thought you were a rude jerk? Dr. Gregory House: Give me the benefit of the doubt. You said he was a jerk. I barely talked. Dr. James Wilson: YOU TALKED!

	Season 6 / Episode 2: - Epic Fail Dr. James Wilson: We know you're back on vicodin. Dr. Gregory House: No, the only thing you know is that I'm a genius who got a dog to pee in your toilet. You don't know how I did it, or more interestingly where I peed.

	Season 5 / Episode 24: - Both Sides Now Dr. James Wilson: Wow. This is fantastic! How are you going to screw it up? Dr. Gregory House: Several good options. Unfortunately, I don't think, she's going to give me the pleasure. She left before I woke up. 5 minutes ago she told me I'm just an employee.
	Season 5 / Episode 24: - Both Sides Now Dr. Gregory House: You're worried that once I'm in a relationship, you and me will be over. Dr. James Wilson: Hey, I'm actually for this.

	Season 5 / Episode 23: - Under My Skin Dr. Eric Foreman: That's basically waterboarding. Dr. James Wilson: It's pretty radical. Dr. Amber Volakis: It's a great idea.

	Season 5 / Episode 23: - Under My Skin Dr. James Wilson: You didn't do anything wrong. You prescribed anti-biotics. Any other doctor would've done the exact same thing. Dr. Amber Volakis: "Any other doctor?" Words can hurt, you know?
	Season 5 / Episode 23: - Under My Skin Dr. James Wilson: Her? Dr. Amber Volakis: Oops. Dr. Gregory House: Kutner was secretly a woman. That's why he killed himself... It's Amber. Dr. James Wilson: Your subconscious picked my dead girlfriend? Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. My irrational part of my brain works like the rational part of yours. How about that?
	Season 5 / Episode 23: - Under My Skin Dr. James Wilson: House, I'll be up in 5 minutes. Then we can talk about how you'd rather be in a coma than rehab. Dr. Gregory House: Actually, if you could be up here in 2, that'd be really helpful. Dr. James Wilson: Why? Dr. Gregory House: Cause I'm about to put myself in insulin shock.
	Season 5 / Episode 23: - Under My Skin Dr. Gregory House: What do I do if my only option won't work? Dr. James Wilson: You don't give up!
	Season 5 / Episode 21: - Saviors Dr. Gregory House: I'm losing my mind. All you gotta say is "good"? Dr. James Wilson: House, a guy you worked with for two years, who you mentored, and... yes, possibly even cared about, just blew his brains out. You can't find the reason. You can't find the meaning in it. Because sometimes there isn't any. Sometimes... this is all there is. You should be losing it. You'd be crazy not to be off your game. But your mojo's right where you left it. Just... keep playing with it. I gotta go. Help yourself.
	Season 5 / Episode 21: - Saviors Dr. Gregory House: You manipulative bitch. You're not suddenly eating healthy because you want to. You're eating healthy because I don't want to! I've been mooching food for ten years. Now it either suddenly started bothering you this week or... Dr. James Wilson: Screwing with you. It needed to be done. After Amber died, I withdrew, tried to change everything. Hoping I'd sort it out, find some deeper truth. It was mistake. I should've gone back to normal - to here and now, because that's all we can ever really count on. Things need to go back to normal in your life. And what could be more normal than me screwing with you, and you figuring it out? Dr. Gregory House: You manipulative bitch!
	Season 5 / Episode 20: - Simple Explanation Dr. James Wilson: I can't deal with this and House. Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You need a friend too. Dr. James Wilson: You don't give a crap what I need! You just want someone to take care of him. Dr. Lisa Cuddy: ...He told Kutner's parents it was their fault.
	Season 5 / Episode 20: - Simple Explanation Dr. James Wilson: You worked with him everyday for two years, and you never saw this coming. Dr. Gregory House: No one saw it coming. Dr. James Wilson: But you see everything coming. This has never been about what you missed. This is about why you missed it. You're terrified that you're losing your gift - losing who you are. And I'm terrified of what you'd do then.
	Season 5 / Episode 19: - Locked In Dr. Gregory House: You know how you hat it when I meddle in your lies... uh, I mean life. Dr. James Wilson: Why are you being so evasive unless you have something to evade?
	Season 5 / Episode 19: - Locked In Dr. James Wilson: Oh House, please. I assume you went because you're tire of screwing up every chance you have at happiness. Dr. Gregory House: [Holding up his cellphone] Delete contact. Dr. James Wilson: Do not let the fact that I found out about it... Dr. Gregory House: Don't beat yourself up. I'm not going back because it doesn't work. Dr. James Wilson: You'll end up alone.
	Season 5 / Episode 18: - Here Kitty Dr. Gregory House: I don't care if her superstitions make her feel better. I just want her to think clearly. Dr. James Wilson: Maybe that can make her as happy as you.
	Season 5 / Episode 18: - Here Kitty Dr. James Wilson: [to House as he's about to perform an autopsy] I put up with your obsessions. I even encourage them... for one reason, they save lives. I don't know what you're doing.
	Season 5 / Episode 17: - The Social Contract Dr. James Wilson: I'm not always nice. I'm not nice to you. Dr. Gregory House: Because you know nice bores me. Hence, still nice.
	Season 5 / Episode 17: - The Social Contract Dr. James Wilson: [Refering to his brother] I thought seeing him again would change everything. It would be wonderful or terrible... Instead... we're just strangers. It's kind of anti-climatic. Dr. Gregory House: Which is better than terrible.
	Season 5 / Episode 17: - The Social Contract Dr. James Wilson: My whole life is one big compromise. I tiptoe around everyone like they're made of china. I spend all my time analyzing what the effect will be if I say this. Then there's you, you're a reality junkie. If I offered you a comforting lie, you'd smack me over the head with it. Let's not change that. Dr. Gregory House: Okay. Dr. James Wilson: No. See this - if you were implementing the social contract, you'd say that to make me feel better. Dr. Gregory House: It is kind of fun watching you torture yourself. Dr. James Wilson: Do you think things will work out with my brother? Dr. Gregory House: No... But when it does go wrong it won't be your fault. Dr. James Wilson: Thanks House.
	Season 5 / Episode 16: - The Softer Side Dr. Gregory House: You gonna eat that? Dr. James Wilson: Have at it... You just asked my permission before you took my food? Dr. Gregory House: Yes we can.
