The Mistake
House and Chase find themselves in a serious situation after a young mother with stomach pains dies. Months later, Stacy counsels Chase prior to his disciplinary hearing, and must determine whether Chase made a mistake that ultimately led to the patient's death. She soon realizes he is holding something back.
House: "She's overreacting."
Wilson: "You snuck into her shrink's office and read her private file. When Nixon did that, he got impeached."
House: "So you're saying I'm not allowed to have oral sex with an intern either?"
House: "One caveat: I've moved past threesomes. I'm now into foursomes. If someone backs out, then you've still got a threesome. If two people back out, you're still having sex."
Stacy: "Yeah. Why did Chase screw up?"
Foreman: "Because he doesn't give a crap about patients."
Stacy: "Well, he always gets positive patient reviews."
Foreman: "Yeah. He smiles all 84 of his teeth, tells them his tonsil story."
Stacy: "It's a nice story."
Foreman: "He still has his tonsils. As soon as he's out of the room, which is as soon as he can be out of the room, he starts in on the trash talk. Thinks not giving a crap makes him like House. Like something to aspire to."
Cuddy: "Start praying for a 12-car pile-up on the turnpike 'cause we're not exactly swimming in livers over here."
House: "The hospital lawyer asks me if I did something unethical. If I did, the last person I tell is the hospital lawyer, especially since she's gone all Old Testament on me."
House: "I'm not the one being sued. I feel funny."
House: "Mistakes are as serious as the results they cause!"
House: "And for the record, you are the worst transplant surgeon in the hospital. But, unfortunately, you are the only one who's currently cheating on his wife."
