~ Quotes

Cameron: I apologize if we weren’t paying full attention to your daughter, but I assure you that...
Mom of the patient: Oh, please. Save your pathetic insincerity for your boyfriend.
House: You’re wrong. She is, in fact, pathetically sincere. And they didn’t screw it up.

House: Brrrr. Icy. Definitely think twice before correcting one of your mistakes again.
Cameron: Correct all you want. Of course, it’s a bit more productive if there’s an actual mistake.
House: Right, I always forget that part.
Cameron: I gave her the heparin, which means the necrosis is not a reaction to the warfarin, which is probably why she’s not responding to your treatment.
House: Yet. [pause] If you didn’t screw up, then what is it? You don’t have an answer.
Cameron: Yet.
House: When you come up with something, let me know. I’ll be in the clinic, warming up.
Cameron: I’m the only one who’s always stood behind you when you’ve screwed up.
House: Why? Why would you support someone who screws up?
Cameron: Because I’m not insanely insecure. And because I can actually trust in another human being and I am not an angry, misanthropic son of a bitch.
House: I’m sorry, you said you weren’t angry. Who would you fire?
Cameron: No one.
House: Not an option.
Cameron: If everyone took a paycut and put in a few more hours we could all stay for the same amount of money.
House: Figures you’d try and come up with a solution where no one gets hurt. The problem is, the world doesn’t work that way just ‘cause you want it to.
Cameron: Figures you’d stall and refuse to deal with the issue. Problem is, the world doesn’t go away just because you want it to.

Cameron: Can we talk?
House: What, no roses, no chocolates? If you’re here to apologize...
Cameron: I’m not here to apologize.
House: Uh-oh, that means you’re here for something more complicated.
Cameron: Do you want to fire me?
House: Yes. I was just waiting for an excuse. Thank God Vogler came along. Phew!
Cameron: It’s the only reason I can think of that you’re insisting that I made a mistake.
House: Really? Because there is another explanation. Perhaps not as much fun as your Freudian analysis, but maybe you actually made a mistake.
Cameron: You’re doing this because you can’t deal with your feelings for me.
House: I believe that you are the only one to express feelings. And if we’re going to look at this from a first-year psych point-of-view, maybe you want me to fire you. Maybe that’s why you’re acting weird. You...
Cameron: You’re the one being different! You’re always pushing things, pushing the rules, pushing us, but not this time. You just jumped on this idea like a life raft. Not one question about what else it could be, no riding us for other answers.
House: I have the answer.
Cameron: Then why aren’t you watching TV? Or playing your damn Game Boy, or whatever else you have fun doing by yourself? Maybe I should just quit. Make it easy for everyone.
House: Maybe you should.

Chase: Why have you been talking to Cameron?
Vogler: Well, if House picks you I’ll be needing a new source in that room.
Chase: If he picks me?
Vogler: Sure. Foreman’s smarter, House has got a thing for Cameron.
Chase: I’ve been feeding you information so you’ll protect me.
Vogler: I will protect you as long as I need you. And you will feed me information as long as you need me. I spoke with Cameron because if I have alternatives, I don’t need you.
Chase: She’s not gonna rat on House.
