Dr. Cuddy: It's not just your leg. You wanna get high. You're doing, what, 80 milligrams a day?
House: No. That's way too much. Moderation is the key. Unless there's pain.
Dr. Cuddy: It's double what you were taking when I hired you.
House: 'Cause you're twice as annoying. (edit) Dr. Cuddy: I’ll give you a week off clinic duty if you can go a week off narcotics.
House: No way! I love the clinic.
Dr. Cuddy: You love the pills. Two weeks.
House: Pills don’t make me high. They make me neutral.
Dr. Cuddy: A month.
House: You’re on, mister. (edit) House: If the artery expands, the clot might move on its own. That's very creative. Why didn't you mention this before?
Dr. Chase: Well, I... I didn't think of it before.
House: You should've. (edit) Dr. Foreman: I took this job to work with you, not cover your ass. Your Vicodin.
House: And your solution is to give me drugs. That's interesting.
Dr. Foreman: No. Now I'm covering my ass. Take your pills before you kill this kid. (edit) Dr. Cameron: But there isn't a treatment for Hepatitis E - either he'll get better on his own, or he'll continue to deteriorate.
House: Yeah, I went to medical school, too. (edit)

Trivia: Dr. House is from Illinois. (edit) House says he is doing an autopsy on a cat. Technically the animal equivalent of an autopsy is a "necropsy." (edit)

Dr. Wilson: No, I want to make sure you don’t start firing shots from the clock tower.
Refers to Charles Whitman, who on August 1, 1966, climbed to the top of the University of Texas Tower in Austin and began a shooting spree which lasted 96 minutes, killing 10 people and wounding 32 others. (edit)
