Cameron: Three ER doctors, two neurologists and a radiologist have all figured out what its not, we need to figure out what it is.

House: No pain no gain.
Cameron: The blood work showed no signs of inflammation, and no one can figure out what’s actually the cause of...

House: I didn't know it was possible for a woman to be unusually irritable.
Cameron: Nice try, but you’re a misanthrope, not a mysogin.
House: What’s the first thing you ask a doctor who’s referring a patient?
Cameron: Are you questioning my ability to take a history? [House just looks at her] “What’s the primary-”
House: Not “what?”. “Why?”
Cameron: Diseases don’t have motives.
House: No, but doctors do. Why this patient, what interests you? Give me the chart.
Cameron: Why?
House: I find your interest interesting.

House: The journal de Instituto de Higina y Medicina Tropical. You don't read Portuguese?
Cameron: You do?
House: I’m pretty sure that’s what it said. Either that or it was an ad for sunglasses.
Cameron: Her husband has never been to Africa either.
House: Ooh, stymied again. Your logic is bulletproof.
Cameron: I think ignoring respiratory symptoms is more likely than cheating.
House: Because?
Cameron: They're completely devoted to each other.

Cameron: You want me to ask a man whose wife is about to die if he cheated on her?

Cameron: You don't trust me to do my job?
House: We all formulate questions based on the answers we want to hear.
Cameron: And how exactly do you re-formulate "Have you screwed around?"
House: Did you know she’s been trying to get pregnant?
Cameron: Yes.
House: After you got so freaked about the sick babies a while ago I figured that was your thing. But you've never been prescribed folic acid, and you can't lose a baby if you’ve never been pregnant.
Cameron: You pulled my medical records?
House: You coughed the other day, I was concerned.

House: Mixing up some margaritas? Mines a double, Senorita. That’s Portuguese, you know.
Cameron: Spanish.
House: Uh-oh. What’s going on?
Cameron: I’m re-calibrating the centrifuge.

House: Ok.
Cameron: I told the husband he was a jerk.
House: Why?
Cameron: When I was in college, I... I fell in love, and I got married. And...
House: At that age the chances of a marriage lasting...
Cameron: It lasted six months. Thyroid cancer metastasized to his brain. There was nothing they could do. I was 21, and... I watched my husband die.
House: I'm sorry... But that’s not the whole story. It’s a symptom, not your illness. Thyroid cancer would have been diagnosed at least a year before his death, you knew he was dying when you married him. Must have been when you first met him. And you married him anyway. You can't be that good a person and well adjusted.
Cameron: Why?
House: Because you wind up crying over centrifuges.
Cameron: Or hating people.
