- Quotes, Quotations, Dialogue, Scenes:
- Dr. Adams tells Dr. Cofield, who is investigating the incident that injures Chase, "House prefers chaos over cohesion. He believes that disagreements and mistrust lead to better ideas. He's not wrong."
"As opposed to being right?"
- House takes some Vicodin while being interviewed by Dr. Cofield. "Uhh --- Yes." He pauses. "And during about nine years of previous cases." Another pause. "My process is proven: good things usually happen, bad things sometimes happen."
"And when bad things happen, we should figure out what went wrong so we can learn from it and correct it."
"So we can assign blame instead of recognizing that bad things sometimes happen, It was nobody's fault."
- Taub admits that he took the patient history from the patient's wife. Dr. Colfield asks, "Does Dr. House not attach importance to patient histories?"
"No. He thinks they're crucial. He just doesn't think that being in the same room as the patient is crucial. House things avoiding patients allows him to stay as objective as possible. He's not wrong."
- Although Foreman is not supposed to be part of the investigation, it turns out that he ignored Park's concerns when she brought them to him and Dr. Colfield warns him, "If signing off on everything House does is a pattern, it affects the way House behaves. It affects how House's team reacts to the way House behaves."
"House is brilliant. I give him the benefit of the doubt most of the time because I've seen what he can do."
- Early on in the case House pays a prank on Chase and pranks go back and forth. When Chase is conscious after his surgery Dr. Cofield asks him who he thinks is to blame. "I don't think it was anyone's fault. I was angry but I wasn't distracted. And I think that if there is any chance that I am going to walk again. It's because Dr. House is a genius."
- When they gather to hear the results of the investigation, Dr. Cofield starts off looking as if he is going to assign blame to House. "This case is a fiasco.... Dr. House is also a fiasco.... Dr. House's process is dangerously inappropriate."
- House goes to Chase who is in the middle of physical therapy to tell him the result of the investigation. "They've established that you being stabbed was nobody's fault." He pauses. "They're wrong. I'm sorry."
"Anything else? I'm kinda busy."
"No. That was it."
