Dr. Gregory House: [House turns around finds Wilson and Cuddy] I forgot. you guys talk. Look, no offense to either of you, but dinner with your mom? Come on, I- I have to act like a decent human being, and you know what a strain that puts on me. And *you*. Ever since you broke up with Sam, you've done nothing but mope and whine. It's an unbelievable bummer.
Dr. James Wilson: And just what is so exciting you have to blow off both of us to do it?
Dr. Gregory House: I just want to sit on my couch in my underwear, drink Scotch and watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey... by myself. I just want one night off. Is that so much to ask?
Dr. James Wilson, Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Yes!

Dr. Robert Chase: [to Taub] So she's not cheating on you, and you're getting all the action you can handle. I don't see the downside.

Arlene: My own daughter is a doctor. She makes a hobby of dismissing my concerns.
Dr. Gregory House: She sounds smart.
Arlene: Did she tell you to say that?
Dr. Gregory House: [House scoffs] I've never met your daughter.
Arlene: That's hard to believe since you're currently shtupping her.
07x09 - Larger Than Life Season 7 / Episode 9: - Larger Than Life

Dr. Lisa Cuddy: House, I need you to come to that dinner for two hours, keep your mouth shut, and behave like an adult. Yes, you will be in Hell, but I will feel better having you there. That is what a relationship is. We average our misery.
07x09 - Larger Than Life Season 7 / Episode 9: - Larger Than Life

Dr. James Wilson: [after Arlene passes out because House drugged her] Leaving aside the fact that House is a sociopath, I have to admit that I'm - I'm honestly relieved. Your mom is quite a - quite a handful.
Dr. James Wilson: What?... I feel fu...


Dr. James Wilson: Oh, you've got to be kidding me!


Dr. Gregory House: Sorry. I honestly thought you'd be worse.
07x09 - Larger Than Life Season 7 / Episode 9: - Larger Than Life

Arlene: In the clinic, you were a complete schmendrick. But once you knew I was Lisa's mother, you held your tongue. That's because you love her. I still think you're a pain in the ass with a God complex, and I'll kill you if you hurt her, but I'm glad she has you.
07x09 - Larger Than Life Season 7 / Episode 9: - Larger Than Life

Rachel Taub: Hi.
Dr. Chris Taub: I think we should get a divorce. You have feelings for him, and I can't handle that. But it's my fault you needed someone else. I keep hurting you.
Rachel Taub: We love each other.
Dr. Chris Taub: I know. But are you happy?
Rachel Taub: No.
Dr. Chris Taub: Then what are we doing?
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: I'm not apologizing for doing the right thing.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Lying to me was not the right thing. Puncture wounds are from a crucifixion.
Dr. Gregory House: I lied to save my patient's life. I didn't lie to you. I lied to my boss. Either of those arguments working yet?


Dr. Gregory House: I guess that means that I don't have to go to the wedding on Saturday.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: The hospital's Chairman of the Board? I'm not gonna stand him up, and neither are you!
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. James Wilson: I was buying an engagement ring. I'm gonna propose to Sam at the wedding.
Dr. Gregory House: That is the second stupidest thing I've heard today. And I'm surprised how close you came. You don't need to buy her a new ring. Isn't the first one good for all you can marry?
Dr. James Wilson: I assume you haven't apologized to Cuddy. Your stupidity demands equal time.
Dr. Gregory House: Nothing to apologize for.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Rachel Taub: I made a new friend online - in a support group.
Dr. Chris Taub: A guy?
Rachel Taub: Yes.
Dr. Chris Taub: A support group for what?
Rachel Taub: For people with unfaithful spouses.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Chris Taub: He hasn't had hallucinations.
Dr. Gregory House: I'm not talking about him. I'm talking about *him* with a capital O-M-G.
Dr. Robert Chase: You want us to do a differential diagnosis on Jesus?
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Chris Taub: Chickens aren't roosting. She's just got a friend. A guy she met in an online support group for cheating spouses.
Dr. Robert Chase: I've heard of that group. It's called "irony."
Dr. Chris Taub: You think she's cheating on her spouse with someone from a cheating spouse support group?
Dr. Robert Chase: Sounds like the perfect place to hit on vulnerable women.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: So either God intervened, which is a lazy explanation, or we just don't know why - which is no explanation.
Dr. James Wilson: Sometimes there's no explanation. And I'm just fine with that.
Dr. Gregory House: Which annoys me to no end.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: She's got looks. He's got money. One of them's bound to run out.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: I give it... 19 months.
Dr. Gregory House: That's very specific.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: No fault divorce in New Jersey requires couples to live at least 18 months apart. I'm actually only giving it a few weeks.
Dr. Gregory House: I thought I was supposed to be the dark one.

Martha Masters: You're smiling. Does that mean you're comfortable with your choice or that you're afraid. Because this may be your only hope.
Ramon: You can prescribe a lot of things. But hope isn't one of them.
Dr. Gregory House: Sticking by your convictions and damning the consequences. You two have a lot in common. You're both idiots.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Ramon: One day, you're going to understand.
Marisa: No, I'm not. I'm never going to understand that! If God could do this, I hate God!

Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm not here to be your wingman.
Dr. Robert Chase: I'll be your wingman this time.
Dr. Eric Foreman: I didn't come here to get laid.
Dr. Robert Chase: Then don't. Talking to beautiful women isn't nearly as much fun as watching Taub not talking to his wife.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Martha Masters: How could you do what you did?
Ramon: That's why we have beliefs. So we can still see the right thing to do, when we're blinded with doubt and fear. Our beliefs define us. If we lose them, who are we?
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: You were married before - 1987 for six days. Your knowledge of New Jersey divorce law made me suspicious, so I looked it up.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: So this was all your trap.
Dr. Gregory House: Uh, trap's primitive. I prefer "inveiglement." Anyway, the point is, I lied to you. You lied to me. I forgive you.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: ...Well played.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Robert Chase: Sorry I took off on you.
Dr. Eric Foreman: Twice?
Dr. Robert Chase: First one was my bad. Second one I had no choice. It was a threesome.
Dr. Chris Taub: They're overrated.
Dr. Robert Chase, Dr. Eric Foreman: He's bluffing.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Martha Masters: If you had told me, he'd be dead by now. So why do I still want to tell the truth?
Dr. Gregory House: Either you're naive or you have scruples. I'm not sure which is worse.
Martha Masters: This is insane! We can't work like this.
Dr. Gregory House: I can.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: I've been an idiot. I got this argument stuck in my head. If everybody lies, then trust is not only unfounded and pointless, it's... fictional. But trust is not an argument that can be won or lost. Maybe I just have to suspend my cynicism and believe. Maybe it's time I took a leap of faith. I'm sorry. I won't lie to you again.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Thank you.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: I apologized to her.
Dr. James Wilson: ...Good for you. [Wilson starts to leave]
Dr. Gregory House: Not really, I lied. Just took your advice, too bad you didn't.
Dr. James Wilson: Good for you.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Ramon: Faith is not a disease.
Dr. Gregory House: No. Of course not. On the other hand... It is communicable and it kills a lot of people.
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: Talking to Cuddy... "What do you got against chickens? One of them got choked last night because of you"
07x08 - Small Sacrifices Season 7 / Episode 8: - Small Sacrifices

Dr. Gregory House: What do you got against chickens? One got choked last night, thanks to you.

Dr. Robert Chase: This isn't Cuddy. Your Jedi mind tricks won't work here.
Dr. Gregory House: [waves his hand in front of Chase] These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Lulu: They're gonna run out of air. I'm happy to kill my daughter, but I feel a little awkward about killing your son.

Dr. Chris Taub: [Sarcastically] Wow. The case of the really bad flu.
Dr. Gregory House: Hmm. Let's see did I leave anything out? Oh yeah - smallpox.
Martha Masters: ...Smallpox was eradicated over 30 years ago.
Dr. Gregory House: So were hush puppies. Have you checked out your local hipster coffee shop lately?
Dr. Eric Foreman: Smallpox doesn't exist outside of P4 labs and bioweapon plants.

Martha Masters: Vaccine will protect if you don't have it, and lessen the severity if you already do. But - but it's a billion to one so - we don't want you to panic or anything.
Lulu: How do I not panic with that information?
