Housisms for episode Occam's Razor:
A college student collapses after rowdy sex with his girlfriend. While House and his team attempt to determine the cause, the student's condition continues to deteriorate and his symptoms multiply complicating the diagnosis.
Dr. Cameron: So, a woman can't express her interest in sex without it being some professional power play?
House: No. If you look the way you do and you say what you said, you have to be aware of the effect that it's going to have on men.
House: Occam's Razor; the simplest explanation is that someone screwed up.
House: Her leg hurts after running six miles. Who knows, it could be anything!
Dr. Wilson: You will lie, cheat and steal to get what you want, but you're incapable of kissing a little ass?
House: Well, we all have our limitations.
Dr. Cuddy: Working with people actually makes you a better doctor.
House: When did I sign up for that course?
Dr. Cuddy: When did I give you the impression that I care?
House: Working in this clinic obviously instills a deep sense of compassion.
Dr. Foreman: You want to bet on the patient's health?
House: You think that's bad luck? You think that God will smite him because of our insensitivity? Look, if God does, you make a quick fifty.
House: If I'd said to Foreman, "Nice try, it was a great guess, but sorry, not this time," what do you think he'd be doing right now?
Dr. Wilson: I think he'd be going home not feeling like a piece of crap.
House: Exactly.
Dr. Wilson: You want him to feel like a piece of crap?
House: No - I don't want him going home.
Dr. Wilson: That smugness of yours really is an attractive quality.
House: Thank you. It was either that or get my hair highlighted. Smugness is easier to maintain.
Dr. Cameron: Men should grow up.
House: Yeah, and dogs should stop licking themselves. It's not going to happen.
House: (to Cuddy) You once asked me why I think I'm always right. And I realized you're right. At least I think you're right...I don't really know now, do I?
House: Make a note; I should never doubt myself.
Dr. Wilson: I think you'll remember. It wouldn't hurt for you to be wrong now and again.
House: What? You don't care about these people?
Dr. Cameron: Brandon's not ready for surgery.
House: Okay, let's leave it a couple of weeks - he should be feeling better by then. Oh wait - which way does time go?
House: What would you prefer - a doctor who holds your hand while you die, or a doctor who ignores you while you get better? I guess it would particularly suck to have a doctor who ignores you while you die.
House: I'm doing good too. I get to knock off an hour early today. Know why? I kissed my boss's ass. You ever do that? I think she just said "Yes" because she wants to reinforce that behavior; wants me to kiss a lot of other people's ass. Like she wants me to kiss yours.
House: This doesn't bother you?
Dr. Wilson: That you were wrong? I try to work through the pain.
House: I was not wrong. Everything I said was true. It fit. It was elegant.
Dr. Wilson: So reality was wrong?
House: Reality is almost always wrong.
Dr. Wilson: Beauty often seduces us on the road to truth.
House: And triteness kicks us in the nads.
House: Hello, sick people and their loved ones! In the interests of saving time and avoiding a lot of boring chit-chat later, I'm Dr. Gregory House. You can call me Greg. I'm one of three doctors staffing this clinic this morning.
Dr. Cuddy: Short, sweet, grab a file.
House: This ray of sunshine is Dr. Lisa Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy runs this whole hospital so unfortunately she's much too busy to deal with you. I am a board-certified diagnostician with a double specialty of infectious disease and nephrology. I'm also the only doctor currently employed at this clinic who's forced to be here against his will. That is true, isn't it? But not to worry, because for most of you this job could be done by a monkey with a bottle of Motrin. Speaking of which, if you're particularly annoying you may see me reach for this. It's Vicodin - it's mine, you can't have any. And no, I do not have a pain-management problem, I have a pain problem. But who knows - maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm too stoned to tell. So, who wants me? (everyone stares) And...who would rather wait for one of the other two guys? (everyone raises their hands) Well, I'll be in Exam Room 1 if you change your mind.
Dr. Foreman: Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation is always the best.
House: And you think one is simpler than two?
Dr. Cameron: I'm pretty sure it is, yeah.
House: Baby shows up. Chase tells you that two people exchange fluids to create this being. I tell you that one stork dropped the little tyke off in a diaper. Are you going to go with the two or the one?
Dr. Foreman: I think your argument is specious.
House: I think your tie is ugly.
Jodi Matthews: You're not a very nice doctor, are you?
House: And you are very bad at whatever it is you do.
House: What's wrong with her?
Dr. Cameron: Him.
House: Him, her. Does it matter? Does anyone think it's a testicular problem?
House: No. There is not a thin line between love and hate. There is in fact a Great Wall of China with armed sentries posted every twenty feet between love and hate.
House: (very friendly) C'mon, nobody's going to be mad. I just want to know who tried to kill the kid.
Robert Merrell: How can you treat someone without meeting him?
House: It's easy if you don't give a crap about him.
