Failure To Communicate
While attending his editor's retirement party, a journalist collapses and hits his head on a desk. When he regains consciousness, his sentences are garbled and incoherent, so he is rushed to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. With House and Stacy stranded at an airport due to bad weather, the team is forced to solve the case with House helping out over the phone.
Stacy: "At least this time I recognize it. That's the bitter bit of convincing the two men you ever loved they're better off without you."
House: "Yeah, it's all your fault. You know, Stacy in the original Greek means "relationship killer."
Chase: "We've got an MRI scheduled in 20 minutes. Earliest Foreman could get the machine."
House: "I teach you to lie and cheat and steal...and as soon as my back is turned, you wait in line?"
Stacy: "You're abrasive and annoying and come on way too strong, like... vindaloo curry. When you're crazy about curry, that's fine, but, no matter how much you love curry, you have too much of it, it takes the roof of your mouth off. And then you never want to see curry for a really, really long time, but you wake up one day, and you think... God, I really miss curry."
Chase: "What happened to the Foreman who always has an answer? The guy who practically wears a sign saying "I'm as good as House, but I'm nicer."
Cuddy: "Tell me, if it is your aim to sell me the same crazy idea as that House does, how are you an improvement on House?"
Foreman: "I... brought you a coffee?"
Wilson: "Did you know your phone is dead? Do you ever recharge the batteries?"
House: "They recharge? I just keep buying new phones."
House: "Two people who weren't meant to be together. Maybe they'll get a happy ending just because they both want it so much."
Stacy: "Yeah, that's usually the way it works."
House: "MRI show anything?"
Foreman: "CT scan was negative."
House: "CT... that's like, short for MRI, right? Excellent, well I guess that saves us a lot of time."
