    • When the team is in the laundry room trying to hide from Foreman, House says that the results from the lumbar puncture he had done came back negative. However as it was eventually revealed that Quidd had measles, that should've clearly shown up on the lumbar, despite the patient's other symptoms.
    • The explosion caused by the patient smoking while using an oxygen tank would not have actually happened. Oxygen is not flammable, and thus cannot combust--it would only intensify a fire or explosion already present. The patient's cigarette may have burned more furiously, as well as anything ignited by a stray cigarette spark, but there definitely would not have been such a spontaneous explosion as portrayed.

    • House: If you were always right, then you wouldn't have just been wrong. Or let the patient mainline nicotine. Or ravaged my anatomical model, which Grandma House bought me when I aced my MCATs. Kutner: A pharmeceutical rep left that here on Tuesday. House: Grandma does some part-time work. Kutner: The rep was a thirty-something babe. House: Thank you. I got her hips.
    • House: Who would you pick? Dr. Cuddy: Are you asking my opinion? House: If you have any absolute truths, that would be even better. Dr. Cuddy: You never want my advice. You spend your life trying to avoid my advice. House: You're a bureaucratic nightmare, you're a chronic pain in the ass, and you're a second-rate doctor at best. Dr. Cuddy: Am I blushing? House: But you do know this stuff. Can we get this over with?
    • House: What makes you so sure that drugs are a mask for something else? Thirteen: Drugs are always a mask for something else. House: That's the dumbest thing I've heard in my life.
    • Thirteen: You realize we still have a patient. Taub: Don't care about the patient. Thirteen: Do you care about this job more than you care about his life? Taub: I care about my wallpaper more than I care about his life.
    • Dr. Foreman: No. He's sick because he's a drug addict. House: No, he has every symptom you would expect from a drug addict. Dr. Foreman: So you think it's all too perfect? Some other disease is trying to throw us off its trail? House: If he had four out of a possible 20 symptoms, he'd be a garden-variety druggie. Twenty out of 20, there is an underlying disease.
    • House: Dizzying array of symptoms. Any of which could be caused by drugs, trauma, being a loser. Dr. Foreman: The guy's a walking pharmacy. Could be anything. House: Oh! Forgot to mention. Final case. Get it right, you're hired. Runner-up will be decided strictly on some definition of merit.
    • House: Blood in the stool and urine. I've died and gone to diagnostic heaven. Dr. Cameron: His blood results show booze, cocaine, amphetamines, opiates. The only mystery here is how he made it to be 38. Patient: I'm 28. Dr. Cameron: Oh, and he lies... and he's a pain in the ass. House: Wrap him up. I'll take him to go.
    • House: Who would you pick to fill your narrow little flats? Dr. Cameron: So you can fire them off my recommendation? Nice try.
    • House: Sign on the door says, "Closed. Private Event." Dr. Cuddy: You're alone. House: How much more private can you get?
    • House: Interesting. Dr. Wilson: Why would you use that word? House: Because I'm interested. When I'm interested, I describe the things that make me interested as interesting.
    • House: You think you can cure pain. Dr. Wilson: You think you can avoid pain! House: You think you're responsible for every failure, every patient's boring life, every friend's screwed up... Dr. Wilson: You don't want to face it any more than my patient does. Dying's easy. Living's hard.
    • House: I wanna keep all four. Dr. Cuddy: You can have two. House: You don't get negotiation, do you? I say four, you say three, we finally settle on three and a half which would be good news for Taub.
    • Dr. Cuddy: Who are you keeping? You owed me a decision ten days ago. House: Total amnesia.
    • House: What do you think? Is he seizing or dancing?
    • House: Foreman, you run the test. Dr. Foreman: Sure. Anything I can do to help your game. (leaves) House: He's not gonna run the test. Thirteen: I don't think so. House: No.
    • Dr. Cuddy: What the hell did you do? House: You told me to hire Kutner and Taub. Dr. Cuddy: Because I knew you wouldn't! House: Oops.
    • House: Hey! Who's the sickest patient you've got? Dr. Cameron: I've got a guy who'll be dead in the next ten minutes.
    • House: Why would you have a blank liability release form, plus your checkbook on top of your desk? Dr. Wilson: Probably because they were in the second drawer, in a Manila envelope, under a book, and you put them on top of my desk.
    • Dr. Chase: How's the new us-es' final case going?
    • House: Dr. Cuddy: the face that launched a thousand long faces.
    • House: (to Taub)You were doing better before you had a good idea.
    • Dr. Cuddy: At least the games are over. House: How long have you known me?
