  • Wilson: "Dinner with Cuddy...."
    House, after Wilson explains: "She asked you?"
    Wilson: "She's smart. She knows if she buys me enough alcohol my defenses just might be weakened."
    House: "Doesn't make sense. Unless she ran out of batteries."
    Wilson: "Hey. I'm recently single. She's single."
    House: "You're too nice for her to like you. She's not needy enough for you to like her. She's got an agenda. Just not one that includes an appearance by 'little Jimmy'."
  • Cuddy, when she finds House waiting in her office: "What do you want?"
    House: "I want to talk about your date with Wilson."
    Cuddy: "It's not a date."
    House: "This is fun. Spring Chase from NICU and I'll shut up about your date."
    Cuddy: "NICU is short-staffed.
    House: "You suddenly lost the ability to lie. Nobody's quit NICU in two years and if you're making up reasons that means there is no reason. Which means he asked for the assignment, didn't he?"
    Cuddy: "If Chase needs a break from you, he should take it."
    House: "Absolutely."

    House: "Why don't you want to work for me. I'm nice and fun at parties."
    Chase: "I'm not working NICU because of you...."
    House: "So, why are you down here? Hoping to expand your make-out pool to include the preemie to nine-year-old demographic?"
    Chase: "I needed a break. From the patients. They lie to us all the time. Foreman almost died trying to save a drug-dealing cop. I just wanted to get away from that for a while."
    House: "What a complete load of crap. What am I a nurse you're trying to prep with this vulnerability thing?"
  • Wilson telling House that his theory that Cuddy wanted to consult because she had cancer was wrong: "It was a date."
    House: "What are you doing?"
    Wilson: "PCR test."
    House: "You're doing it yourself. In the middle of the night. On a spoon. Cuddy's spoon."
    Wilson: "I'm checking her saliva for cancer markers."
    House: "Yeah— I do that after all my dates, too. People think you're the nice one."
    Wilson: "Why are you so worried about Cuddy?"
    House: "You go first. You desperately want this to be a date."
    Wilson: "Because the alternative is cancer."
    House: "Just admit that you like her. She's smart, funny. Got a zesty bod. It's great you can look beyond the fact she's the devil"
    Wilson: "I stole a spoon. You stole her garbage.
    House: "She's my boss. She gets sick, the hospital might replace her. Especially if she dies. I'd have to learn how to manipulate someone new."
    Wilson: "Whoa. I think I'm gonna cry."
