Cameron: Thank you. For the speech.
House: When I said rush, I meant, you know, fast. Stat’s the word you doctors use, right?
Cameron: I know it’s hard for you –
House: Double stat?
Cameron: Dr. House. I just wanted to –
House: You’re welcome, again.
Cameron: I want you to know how much I –
House: Got it. You’re grateful. Apparently you seem to think it’ll mean a lot to me to know that.
Cameron: Do you know why people believe in God?
House: I thought you didn’t believe in God.
Cameron: I don’t.
House: Well, then you better be making a very good point.
Cameron: Do you think they pray to Him and praise Him because they want Him to know how great He is? God already knows that.
House: Are you comparing me to God? I mean, that’s great, but just so you know, I’ve never made a tree.
Cameron: [smiling] I thank you because it means something to me. To be grateful for what I receive.
House: You are the most naïve atheist I’ve ever met.
Nurse: Dr. House, you have a patient in Room One.
House: Thank God. [He starts to walk off, but turns around.] People pray so that God won’t crush them like bugs. I’m not gonna crush you.
Wilson: You were sure he had AIDS, then you talked to him, then you had doubts. What, what did he say?
House: He said he had not engaged in any risky behavior.
Wilson: Huh. And you believed him.
House: He didn’t have any reason to lie –
Wilson: Everybody lies, except politicians? House, I do believe you’re a romantic. You just didn’t believe him, you believed in him. Do you want to come over tonight and watch old movies and cry? Dr. Cameron’s getting to you. Well, I guess you can’t be around that much niceness and not get any one you.
House: Is that why you haven’t put the moves on her?
Wilson: What makes you think I haven’t put the moves on her? [House stops and stares] Oh. Oh, boy! You’re in trouble. [Wilson laughs]
Cameron: What’s up?
House: You like me. Why?
Cameron: That’s kind of a sad question.
House: Just trying to figure out what makes you tick. I am not warm and fuzzy and you are basically a stuffed animal made by grandma.
Cameron: I don’t think that’s why you’re asking. I think it’s because of the speech.
House: Oh God, don’t try and pick me apart.
Cameron: Then why are you asking? What do you want to hear?
House: I’m sorry. I should have taken a couple of extra Vicodin and just held my nose.
Cameron: I’m guessing you did take a couple extra Vicodin.
House: True.
Cameron: You don’t need to worry about firing anyone. I’m leaving.
House: Why? Is this another noble, self-sacrificing gesture? You trying to protect Foreman?
Cameron: No.
House: So this is just, “Don’t fire me, I quit.”
Cameron: I’m protecting myself. You asked me why I like you. You’re abrasive and rude, but I figured everything you do, you do it to help people. But I was wrong. You do it because it’s right.There are only two ways I can deal with things. One is in my control. That’s to leave. Goodbye, House.
