Quotes
-
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : You killed Foreman's job interview.
Dr. James Wilson : Why would I...?
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : Somebody did. Wasn't me and it wasn't House, which means it has to be somebody who thought he was protecting House which means it has to be somebody who actually likes House, which means it's either you or the weird night janitor who wears his pants backwards.
Dr. James Wilson : I want Foreman to leave. House has to realize he needs someone who stands up to him. Cameron is in love with him, Chase is afraid of him, and I enable him. House needs limits.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy : I give him...
Dr. James Wilson : You authorize magic mushrooms.
-
Dr. James Wilson : House is a 6-year-old who thinks he's better off without parents. A few tummy-aches after dinners of ice cream and ketchup might do him some good.

Dr. James Wilson : Cuddy thinks I sabotaged Foreman's interview. She's gonna fire me.
Dr. Allison Cameron : I don't believe it.
Dr. James Wilson : She said it was unprofessional and...
Dr. Allison Cameron : No, I mean I literally don't believe it. Cuddy wouldn't fire you for something like that.
[Wilson looks guilty]
Dr. Allison Cameron : Which means either she lied to you or you're lying to me.
Dr. James Wilson : You so would have fallen for that three years ago.
Dr. Allison Cameron : You were looking for a reaction. You were looking for me to feel bad for you, save your skin. But how am I gonna save you? Unless you think I'm the one who really did it.
Dr. James Wilson : Cuddy's logic was Foreman's valuable to House. I care about House. Ergo, I would do anything to save him.
Dr. Allison Cameron : And your logic was I care about House as much as you do, ergo...
[Wilson nods]
Dr. Allison Cameron : It wasn't me. I don't care about House.
Dr. James Wilson : I don't believe you.
Dr. Allison Cameron : No one does. House is nothing more than my boss, Foreman's nothing more than a colleague.
Dr. James Wilson : [nods his head] You're lying.
Dr. Allison Cameron : Everyone does, but it wasn't me.
Dr. James Wilson : [nods and leaves]
