    • When House and Wilson are at the bar, after House hangs up the phone call with his team, there is a pen placed on top of a napkin next to Wilson's drink. By the time that Wilson takes out his wallet to pay and leave, the pen makes its way away from the napkin and next to the empty peanut bowl.
    • When the team (plus Cameron and Chase) are talking after diagnosing House with syphilis (from the fake blood sample), Chase asks Cameron if she slept with House and then becomes upset when she doesn't answer. He should have known the answer to that question. At the end of "Half-Wit," Cameron, Chase and Foreman come to House's apartment to tell him that he doesn't have brain cancer, he has syphilis (again from a fake blood sample). Cameron states that she is glad they never slept together.
    • House's team claims that House turned into a jerk because of his leg, Foreman then states it was just a coincidence. However, in the season 1 episode "Honeymoon," Stacy Warner (House's ex-girlfriend) reveals that he was pretty much the same way before his leg affected his life.
    • After bowling his second strike, Chase turns around to notice House has disappeared. The machine can be seen resetting three pins, yet as Chase had just bowled a strike, it should have set down a full rack of pins.
    • Kutner and the others suspect that Deb gave Jeff syphilis, but they don't take the simple step of testing her to see if she has it. Also, if they believe that Jeff has syphilis and treat him for it, then the next logical step would have been to prescribe treatment for her as well, since she was his wife of ten years.

    • House: I want joint custody. Amber: Of Wilson? House: Unless we have another love child.
    • House: Oh, you're selling religion. I'm sorry, I bought some Islam yesterday.
    • Thirteen: (about Jeff) Elfin appearance? House: He's more Legolas than Keebler.
    • House: (about Jeff) Is he Canadian? Dr. Cameron: He is a low priority. House: Is that a yes?
    • Dr. Chase: I assume Wilson was busy? House: Again. Dr. Chase: With Amber? House: Again. Dr. Chase: Still it was nice of you to invite me, this is fun. House: No it wasn't, no it isn't. I didn't invite you to be nice. I invited you because bowling isn't one of the two things guys do by themselves. Dr. Chase: What's the second thing? House: Other hand.
    • House: Cuddy is going to look everywhere but the place she wants me to be.
    • Jeff: No, I just don't see much use in complaining. House: Seriously? It's a pretty useful tool. Complain, you make people miserable. They do what you want to make the misery go away.
    • Dr. Cameron: He's just… House: Happy. I gotta stop this before it spreads.
    • House: Three cavemen see a stranger running towards them with a spear. One fights, one flees, one smiles and invites him over for fondue. That last guy didn't last long enough to procreate.
    • House: Let's take a vote. Who thinks that niceness is not a symptom? (everyone else raises their hand) And who thinks that their vote counts? (raises his hand)
    • House: Taub and Thirty-One… Thirteen: Thirty-One? House: Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that either way was good with you.
    • Dr. Wilson: (about House) I don't know how to deal with him, when he's being… reasonable. Amber: This is reasonable? This is crazy! You're not a child, you can make your own plans. Dr. Wilson: No, crazy is what House would normally do in this situation: swap your lubricant with Superglue. House: The man knows me.
    • Amber: Take my deal, or get out of my apartment. House: Take my deal, or I move in.
    • Dr. Cuddy: "You are overtly contemptuous of hospital hierarchy." House: And covertly. I suppose you didn't know about that. Dr. Cuddy: "Your attitude towards supervisory personnel is disrespectful, and a disturbingly large proportion of your comments are racist or sexist." House: That top makes you look like an Afghani prostitute... would be an example of that.
    • House: You're either perfect or you're sick. In my experience, "sick" is much more common.
    • Taub: You were wrong. House: Why do people say that with such pleasure? It's very hurtful, you know.
    • Young Man: Have you heard the good news? House: Miley Cyrus is playing a third night at the Spectrum?
    • Dr. Wilson: It was my fault, I had to take a shower. Amber: Which was my fault. House: I had to take a dump. Anything else I don't need to know before you leave?
    • House: So you didn't have sex. Amber: I like sex. House: Then you can have it tonight. The L Word is on.
    • Dr. Foreman: You want to punish Cuddy for hiring me? House: I like Cuddy. I like parts of her.
    • Dr. Foreman: Mocking me saves lives? House: The hospital will probably build you a statue one day. You know, with a "kick me" sign on the back. You know when you think about it, the more I mock you, the more it shows I have respect for you. Dr. Foreman: Or you made up that BS because you like humiliating me. House: Wouldn't rule that out completely.
    • Taub: Maybe we just put Hitler on Ritalin. Dr. Cameron: Are you comparing House to Hitler? Dr. Chase: Oh God. Dr. Cameron: Just because I don't think he's Hitler doesn't mean I slept with him. I don't sleep with everyone who's better than Hitler.
    • Deb: I'm not worried. Kutner: Neither am I. House: Neither am I. That's because I don't care.
    • Dr. Cuddy: The strike ended. The nurses have been back for two shifts already. House: You think I'd have noticed. What exactly do they do around here?
    • House: (reading his review of Cuddy) "You act like employees should fear and respect you, but your eyes tell us… actually, your eyes tell us nothing because we're looking at your boobs. Which tell us that you're desperate to have someone jump on you and tell you they love you one grunted syllable at a time. What you want, you run away from. What you need, you don't have a clue. What you've accomplished, makes you proud. But you're still miserable." Please sign.

    • House: He's more Legolas then Keebler. Legolas is a character of J.R.R. Tolkien featured in The Lord of the Rings. He is an Elf from Mirkwood and one of nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring. Keebler is a cookie and cracker manufacturer in the US. The Keebler claim is that the products are made in magic ovens inside a hollow tree by chief elf Ernie Keebler and his Keebler Elves.
    • House: Run it for everything you can think of. Lepto, Shisto, Haemo and the fourth Marx Brother nobody ever heard of. House is alluding to the comedy family known as The Marx Brothers. Harpo, Chico and Groucho are probably the most famous but Zeppo (the fifth born brother) also worked on stage and film with them. He took over from the fourth-born brother (that House is referring to) Gummo when he left the Vaudeville act. Gummo left acting in order to be in the service during World War I.
    • House: Then you can have it tonight. The L Word is on. House is referring to the drama series on Showtime that portrays the lives of a group of lesbian and bisexual women and their friends, family and lovers in the trendy Los Angeles-area city of West Hollywood.
