Thursday Thirteen!

Posted by Leslie on January 9th, 2008 |

I don’t watch too much TV, but one of the shows I do love is “House, M.D.” and mainly for the snappy, sardonic dialogue.

{Edition XII}

Thirteen Quotes from “House, M.D.”

1. Dr. Cameron: Men should grow up.
Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. And dogs should stop licking themselves. It’s not gonna happen.

Greg House - Hugh Laurie2. Dr. Wilson: Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth.
Dr. Gregory House: And triteness kicks us in the nads.

3. Dr. Eric Foreman: This is definitely different.
Dr. Robert Chase: [looking at a photograph of House] It looks almost like…
Dr. Cameron: …He’s caring.

4. Dr. Lisa Cuddy: If you would consider going to a shrink, I would pay for it myself. The hospital would hold a bake sale, for God’s sake.

5. Dr. Gregory House: [hearing serious news about patient on phone] Check it again. I’ll be right there.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: What happened?
Dr. Gregory House: Apparently I can save money by switching to another long-distance carrier.

6. Dr. Eric Foreman: Yeah, you’re all about nurturing.
Dr. Gregory House: Do you need a hug?

7. Dr. Robert Chase: She was fine two hours ago.
Dr. Gregory House: If by fine you mean bleeding profusely out of every orifice, then yeah, I believe you.

8. Dr. Robert Chase: You two are just too nasty to each other not to have been… nasty.
Dr. Gregory House: Hey, I can be a jerk to people I haven’t slept with. I am that good.

9. Dr. Lisa Cuddy: When I hired you, I knew you were insane. I will continue to try and stop you from doing insane things, but once they’re done, trying to convince an insane person not to do insane things is, in itself, insane. So when I hired you, I also set aside fifty thousand a year for legal expenses. So far, you’ve come in under budget.

10. Dr. Robert Chase: How’d you like it if I interfered in your personal life?
Dr. Gregory House: I’d hate it. That’s why, cleverly, I have no personal life.

11. Dr. Wilson: Billionaires buy movie studios to get laid. They buy hospitals to get respect.
Dr. Gregory House: And the reason you want respect?
Dr. Wilson: To… get laid.

12. Dr. Gregory House: Like I always say, there’s no “I” in team. There’s a “me” though, if you jumble it up.

13. Dr. Wilson: Oh, this is where I give you advice and pretend you are going listen to it, I love this part.

I love House! The dialogue is superb and you’ve chosen some dandy quotes. Thanks for sharing.

No. 4 is a killer quote. I will keep it!

I watched this a few times when it was new, but didn’t think much of it. It’s so popular, I should probably give it another go.

I used to work with someone who used to say that “No I in team” thing over and over, along with a load of other mindless platitudes. I wish I had thought of House’s second part to it!

Fun show but I’d be hard pressed to remember any quotes from it. Happy TT.

I’m not a regular “House” viewer but I catch it on occasion. The witty banter is definitely the reason I tune in.

Lisa 10/01/08 - 10:52 am

Great quotes, Leslie! I think I’ve actually seen most of the episodes those quotes came from.

I haven’t watched this program. (We don’t have a TV.) I’ve heard it’s really good - and you are right - the dialogue is marvelous!

Happy TT!

ha! I love House!

I’ve seen every episode and really enjoy the show; my wife and I watch it religiously every week. For the life of me I can never remember any of the lines from the show but you’ve definitely pulled a few of the memorable ones.

If you haven’t already seen the show, I highly recommend that you watch at least one episode.
