Season 5 Quotes

Season 5 / Episode 1: - Dying Changes Everything

Thirteen: Why is everyone leaping to conclude a strong career woman's been made sick by her strong career? It's not [Vitamin] B12! It's an Insulinoma in her pancreas... it's making her hypoglycemic.
Dr. Gregory House: [sarcastically] Oh, great! Now everyone knows!
Dr. Chris Taub: You knew she had cancer?
Dr. Gregory House: Is that what she said? I thought she said: "I am suddenly and irrationally defending the patient's strong career, even though in reality she's just a glorified grunt, because I am trying to convince myself that it's okay not to have a life, because I don't have a life, because I was tested for Huntington's and my lifespan's been cut in half." Been waiting for two months for her to say that.

Season 5 / Episode 11: - Joy to the World

Dr. Lisa Cuddy: [to House] Yes, I was going to stalk you at home but it was a busy week, and your office is closer.
