Housisms for episode Distractions:
While a severely burned teenager is admitted and his blood tests come back with strange results, House makes himself the guinea pig in his own unofficial tests of a new drug designed to treat migraines to prove a former medical school colleague is wrong about the drug.
House: (to the parents) He has a cigarette burn on his wrist. Also a fading nicotine stain between two fingers. Bad news, your son has a filthy, unhealthy habbit. Good news, he's trying to quit. Bad news, quitting is killing him. Good news, I can cure him. Bad news... no, that's the end of it.
House: I didn't know people actually read emails--the delete button is so conveniently located.
Dr. Foreman: Hey, if you feel chest pain, you need to let me know. Verapamil can cause congestive heart failure.
House: Nothing can hurt my heart.
Dr. Foreman: Why didn't you take the patient to radiology, get an MRI?
House: Obviously I was doing something illegal. Using nuclear imaging would have raised questions.
House: (to anesthesiologist) God you're good! You're putting me to sleep!
Dr. Cuddy: You induced a migraine headache in a coma patient?
House: Gave him a little headache, similar to the one you're giving me now.
Dr. Cuddy: Have you even read an ethical guideline?
Dr. Wilson: This guy's name is Weber, not von Lieberman.
House: I call Weber "von Lieberman." Way eviler.
Weber: You cannot test this on an abnormal brain.
House: That's so close-minded, He's not "abnormal", he's special.
Dr. Cuddy: Cameron is worried about you. I told her that LSD lasts up to twelve hours. If you were functional she must be wrong.
House: Either that or I also took a whole bunch of anti-depressants, which short-circuited the LSD... (innocently) I'm just saying that would also explain it.
Dr. Cameron: (Adam's) brain is like a waiter that's got too many...
House: Hey, hey... I do the metaphors.
Dr. Foreman: Been looking for you.
House: Been avoiding you.
Dr. Cuddy: Did you sign this?
House: Uh... yeah. We can talk later about the appropriate discipline.
Dr. Cameron: What are you looking for?
House: Same as you -- love, acceptance, solid return on investment.
Dr. Wilson: So what's the plan, you're going to wait until he bends over and make a fart sound?
House: I'm not here about the past. He's a bad scientist.
Dr. Wilson: Well, you cheated off him, how bad could he be?
House: He got the answer wrong.
Dr. Wilson: You have got to find less debilitating outlets than humiliating people. I hear bowling is more fun than stalking.
House: But I'm better at this.
Weber: (to House) Who are you?
Dr. Wilson: (sotto voce) Just a lunatic who needs a hobby.
Dr. Cameron: Could pain medicine cause an orgasm?
House: I wish.
Dr. Foreman: House! You can't do this!
House: Oh, if I had a nickel for every time I've heard that.
House: The universe always settles the score.
Dr. Cuddy: Does it?
House: No, but it should.
