- House: You're in a downward spiral of destruction. Thirteen: I can stop. House: You're gonna keep spiraling, screwing around, keep slashing away at every person who tries to help until no one tries to help anymore. Until you hit bottom. Until you're dead. But, until then, I can use you.

- Thirteen: I can handle this alone. House: You've already handled it. That's why you need a chaperone. Of course, I'm a very permissive understanding chaperone. So feel free to ignore me. You know, if you're in the mood to start kissing, or groping, or showering. Thirteen: You'll have to excuse Dr. House. He mistakes immaturity for edginess. Spencer: You're Dr. House? House: I assume my name came up last night in the form of a moan.
