Quotes 

• Dr. Gregory House : [after patient refusing treatment after finding out she contributed to her baby's death]  She said no.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : So we get her declared unstable. Appoint a medical proxy.

  Dr. Gregory House : She was unstable. Now she's sane. She's entitled to refuse treatment.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : We have to change her mind. You can't just walk away.

  Dr. Gregory House : Fine! Go on in there and tell her that every day is a blessing! "So you killed your baby! Shake it off, think positive! At least you're alive!" Hmm. Kinda hard to sell when you don't believe it, huh? And you never believed it. You just wanted all that crap you went through to mean something, well it didn't mean anything, it never does! Welcome back.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Why are you doing this to me? I was happy.

  Dr. Gregory House : You were aspiring to be content.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Don't give me a semantic argument. I was content with the way things were. That's what happiness is.

  Dr. Gregory House : Right. If we were all satisfied with what we had what a beautiful world it would be, we'd all slowly starve to death in our own filth, but at least we'd be happy. Listen, I need your self worth to hang on this job. For kicking ass to be all that lets you rise above miserable. If waking up in the morning is enough, I don't need you.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I can live with that.

  Dr. Gregory House : No, you can't. Not anymore.

• Dr. Allison Cameron : Postpartum psychosis makes her want to drown her kid. The internal conflict triggers a seizure.

  Dr. Gregory House : You know what else might be a trigger? A physical illness. It's a wild idea, I know especially since she doesn't have any obviously physical symptoms like internal bleeding or excess calcium.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I'll draw some blood, test for...

  Dr. Gregory House : Ahhhh! Jesus! You've done it again! Will you argue with me? Drinkers don't eat right. Explains the bleeding and the calcium. This might just be some crazy drunk and I'm telling you that she's about to die of myelogenous meningitis.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : We already tested for...

  Dr. Gregory House : Exactly! It's an insane idea!

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Okay. What do you want me to do?

  Dr. Gregory House : Have an original thought.

• Dr. Gregory House : [to Foreman]  Where are you going?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : To put her in a phenocoma.

  Dr. Gregory House : What if I'm wrong? What if Daddy's the drunk?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : Do you want us to give her the pheno or not?

  Dr. Gregory House : I want him to argue his point!

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I assume you considered the father and ruled him out.

  Dr. Gregory House : What's that saying where you assume, you become a pain in the ass to me?

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Why should I argue? You'd just overrule me.

  Dr. Gregory House : Enough! Get a pony or a watermelon farm!

  Dr. Allison Cameron : House!

  Dr. Gregory House : I need him to react. I need him to act like a human being. I need him to get over this boring, near-death rebirth.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : I have changed. It's not something you get over.

  Dr. Gregory House : Nearly dying changes everything forever. For about two months. Two months is too long, I need the guy I hired back now.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : No matter how much your misery loves company, it's not getting mine.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : [to Cameron]  Look, a few weeks ago, you were upset that I didn't consider you a friend. Now you're upset that I'm happy?

  Dr. Allison Cameron : What can I say? Apparently I'm a bitch.

• Dr. Robert Chase : Lithium could cause all three of the mother's symptoms.

  Dr. Allison Cameron : No record she's on lithium.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : And tox screen was negative.

  Dr. Gregory House : Lithium doesn't show on a basic tox screen, scarecrow.
