Quotes

Dr. Cuddy: (to House) Fifty-one weeks of the year I let you run around like a monkey in a banana factory. (edit)
Evan: What's the test say?
House: As I suspected! You have significant losses in the upper-right quadrant of your visual field.
Evan: Are you serious?
House: No. It's a joke. Two guys go into a bar and one has significant losses in the upper-right quadrant of his visual field, and the other guy says "You're going to need an MRI to determine the type and location of your tumor." (edit)
Dr. Cuddy: (to Cameron) The last time I checked the ER, you had the best kept charts in the building. The last time I checked the fourth floor janitor's closet, I found House's charts. (edit)
Dr. Cuddy: I'm taking back the TV.
House: I saved his life!
Dr. Cuddy: That wasn't the deal.
House: But the contract clearly stated "no takesy-backsies." (edit)
Dr. Foreman: You kidnapped him?
House: It's sweet that I haven't lost the ability to surprise you. (edit)

"No expectations - no disappointments"...I let myself to have some for the ep and maybe that's why, it felt kind of a disappointment...even though it wasn't bad and House had some nice moments in it.Unfortunately, not as many as he use to have.
