Housisms : DNR

Housisms for episode DNR:

Legendary jazz musician John Henry Giles is checked into the hospital and when he's told he's dying from ALS, he signs a DNR to avoid a slow death. House disagrees with the diagnosis and goes against everyone's wishes when he violates the DNR to save Giles' life. The decision lands House in court, drives Foreman to consider taking another job, and results in Giles' paralysis worsening. But when the patient inexplicably starts getting better, the team has to figure out the mystery in reverse and find out why his condition is improving. Meanwhile, Dr. Foreman meets with an old friend who offers him a West Coast partnership.

House: And that's all you are? Musician?
Giles: I got one thing, same as you.
House: Really? Well apparently you know me better than I know you.
Giles: I know that limp. I know the empty ring finger. And that obsessive nature of yours, that's a big secret. You don't risk jail and your career to save somebody who doesn't want to be saved unless you got something. Anything. One thing. The reason normal people got wives and kids, hobbies, whatever, that's because they ain't got that one thing that hits a man hard and that true. I got music, you got this, the thing you think about all the time, the thing that keeps yourself normal. Yeah, makes us great, makes us the best. All we miss out on is everything else. No woman waiting at home after work with a drink and a kiss, that ain't gonna happen for us.
House: That's why God made microwaves.
Giles: Yeah. And when it's over, it's over.
House: Yeah. (House opens the door and starts to move Giles's bed out of the room)
Giles: What are you doing?
House: It's not over for me. Either you're gonna call the cops again or I'm doing this. If you wanna die you can do it easily inside an MRI machine.

Dr. Wilson: So your philosophy is, if they don't want treatment they get it shoved down their throat, but if it might cure their paralysis, whoa, you'd better slow down.
House: Yeah, my old philosophy used to be 'Live and Let Live', but I'm taking this needlepoint class and they gave us these really big pillows.
Dr. Wilson: What's your philosophy on employee relations?
House: That's a very tiny pillow.

House: Next time you want to make me feel all warm and fuzzy, leave me a message.

House: Can we get the lecture over with, because... well, I guess I don't have anything to do. Take your time.

Female Server: Dr. House?
House: Cuddy sent me a stripper again? I love that woman -- she's so thoughtful.

House: Fine, I'll never do it again.
Dr. Foreman: Yes you will!
House: All the more reason this discussion is pointless.

Dr. Foreman: What's wrong with you?
House: Everyone knows what's wrong with me. The interesting question is, what's wrong with him?

Willie: My pants tell you I'm a diabetic?
House: No, they tell me you're an idiot.

House: Like I always say, there's no 'I' in team. But there's a me, if you jumble it up.

Dr. Cuddy: Forget (Giles') paralysis.
House: Tell that to the rest of his bowling team.
