Housisms : Insensitive

Housisms for episode Insensitive:

It's Valentine's Day, and Cuddy has a blind date. Meanwhile, House leaves ER duty to take the case of a child patient named Hannah.

House: You two must have met online. Either that or you've got a friend who secretly hates you.
Don Herrick: Uh, Don Herrick. Yeah, we connected through singleballroomdancelovers.com.
House: Why would he volunteer that information?
Don Herrick: Why would I hide it?
House: (to Cuddy) You didn't tell him that anything he said will be held against you?

House: Most people light fires for themselves, but then they don't deny it. He's here.
Dr. Cuddy: CPK isn't high enough. Potassium is what you'd expect same as the bronco dilators.
House: Oh my god. You're not wearing a bra!
Dr. Cuddy: It's not thyroid storm.
House: You just met him!
Dr. Cuddy: I like him. And I like sex. Do I need to stitch a letter onto my tops?
House: No. But it might be worth taking out an ad on the local papers.
Dr. Cuddy: Do you like me, House?

Hannah: After everything I do, I self-check. Mouth, tongue, gums for cuts, count teeth, check temperature, fingers toes and joints for swelling, skin for bruises.
House: I got shot.

House: Hi again. And I'm sure I could say this without being condescending, but then you'd get the false impression that I respect you, so... you're a kid, you're scared, you're stalling, grow up.

House: Reason number one. She knew what it was without us telling her. Two, she's still wet from the snow. She's not shivering, that's odd. Unless you can't sweat or feel hot and cold.
Hannah: The ambulance was warm. I want to see my mother.
House: Three, scarring around the lips and tongue. When she was a baby she chewed on herself without feeling it.
Hannah: I fell through a window when I was a kid.
House: Four, when you cleaned the wounds she flexed into the cleaner instead of away from it. It's hard to fake pain when you've never felt it. Takes an imaginative leap, Ms. Morganthal. That's one of them Jew names... Ashkenazis are a higher risk group.

House: Foreman, your girlfriend wants to know if you're available for Valentine's. Act surprised. (looks around) What are you doing down here?
Foreman: The snowstorm. ER's short staffed. We're all supposed to be here; you're supposed to be here. You're an ass. Act surprised.

House: I was curious. Since I'm not a cat, that's not dangerous.
Dr. Wilson: I don't think that metaphor was actually designed to warn cats.

House: (to Cuddy) You could have left the scarf at home and just told him that you'd be wearing a look of desperation.

Dr. Cameron: You weren't shot because of pain, you were shot because you're a jerk.
House: Some think the two are connected.

Dr. Wilson: I am so tired of this. Did you know that the new nurse from Cardiology is sleeping with that weird lawyer from the board?
House: That guy with eleven fingers?
Dr. Wilson: He has eleven fingers?
House: How do you not notice that?
Dr. Wilson: The nurse used to be a man.
House: She's not any more?
Dr. Wilson: But we can't talk about that.
House: I thought we were.
Dr. Wilson: We were supposed to talk about that. I came here to talk about that. But on the way up I ran into Cameron. You've got a CIPA patient.
House: Tranny nurse is more interesting.
Dr. Wilson: Oh it's way more interesting but instead I've got to be your damned conscience. I'm tired of being your conscience. I don't enjoy being your conscience.

Dr. Foreman: We need you!
House: What did the nerve biopsy show?
Dr. Foreman: Never did it.
House: Well then do it.
Dr. Foreman: Can't.
House: Why?
Dr. Foreman: She's going to jump off the lobby balcony.
House: You think I can catch her?

Dr. Cuddy: There are only two reasons anyone would want to screw with me tonight. Either they're an altruistic, decent person who's worried about my well-being. Or... they want me for themself.
House: You left out the third option. Evil bastard who just wants to mess with other people's happiness.

Dr. Foreman: You're cranky.
Dr. House: I'm in pain. Come on, let's go break her arm.

Hannah: Boys can't hold me for too long because I can overheat.
House: Girls can't hold me for too long because I only pay for an hour.
