• Dr. Gregory House : [to Brent]  I need your son.

  Brent Mason : Who are you?

  Dr. Gregory House : Your wife's doctor. Your son may have had the same condition she does.

  Brent Mason : My son didn't have a condition. She killed him.

  Dr. Gregory House : If I biopsy her intestines, she'll bleed out. He obviously won't.

  Brent Mason : You're not using my son's body to help her.

  Dr. Gregory House : Okay. How about trading him for a beer? Or maybe you're more of a whiskey guy. You didn't have strep or stomach bug the morning you came in. You puked because you were hungover. If she was a recovering drunk and slipping most of the time, you'd be right.

  Brent Mason : So I drink. You're acting like this is my fault.

  Dr. Gregory House : People are going to feel sorry for you, they'll tell you that you can't anticipate the unthinkable. Well, the fact is you can. It's just not all that pleasant.

  Brent Mason : Look, you don't know anything about how...

  Dr. Gregory House : I know that people don't get crazy enough to kill someone without first being crazy enough for someone to notice. How many times did you go out for a drink because she was crying? How many times did you stay at work because you couldn't listen to her telling you what a bad mother she is? You were relieved. When she shut down, you just sat staring for hours at a time. She held the pillow over his head. You slept while she went nuts. Not exactly a draw, but...

  Brent Mason : What is wrong with you? What kind of a person says those things now?

  Dr. Gregory House : Let me do the test. It'll be one less thing for you to feel crappy about.
