Dying Changes Everything

In the aftermath of personal tragedy, Wilson resigns from the hospital... and from his friendship with House. Meanwhile, Thirteen struggles with her personal medical problems while helping treat an executive assistant with a similar personality to her own.



Cuddy: "When was the last time you talked to him?"
House: "I think it was after... when did his girlfriend die? He wanted time alone. I considered being a horrendous pain in the ass, but I didn't want to step on your turf."

Foreman: "We just got a call from Patty Mishner from Womens majority, the women's rights..."
Cuddy: "We know who she is."
House: "I dated her. Well, not really dated her, more metaphorically raped her by having a penis. [To Foreman] You did too."

Thirteen: "Why is everyone leaping to conclude a strong career woman's been made sick by her strong career? It's not B12. It's an insulinoma in her pancreas. It's making her hypoglycemic."
House: "Great, now everyone knows."
Taub: "You knew she had cancer?"
House: "Is that what she said? I thought she said, "I am suddenly and irrationally defending the patient's strong career even though, in reality, she's just a glorified grunt, because I'm trying to convince myself that it's ok not to have a life because I don't have a life because I was tested for Huntington's and my lifespan's been cut in half."

House: "Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything."

House: "I'm busy."
Thirteen: "We need you to…"
House: "Actually, as you can see, I'm not busy. It's just an euphemism for "get the hell out of here.""

Wilson: "I just need a change of scenery."
House: "Buy a plant!"

Chase: "You want me to do a second major surgery on a patient we almost lost during a first major surgery to see if she needs a third major surgery?"

House: "People die! You, Amber, everyone. Don’t act like you just figured that out. I gave you a diagnosis. You don’t like it. There are exits on every floor."

Thirteen: "This is Dr. House. He's too brilliant for introductions."

Cuddy: "You mind if I come in?"
House: "Not at all. Do you mind if I leave?"

Taub: "What do you want us to do?"
Cuddy: "The same thing you'd do if he was here."
Taub: "If he was here, we’d be asking him what to do."

Wilson: "I don't blame you for Amber's death. As much as I've tried to find a way to, I couldn't. But we're not okay. I didn't want to tell you the truth. I'm tired of protecting you and enabling you. We're not friends anymore, House. I don't think we ever were."

Cuddy: "Talk to each other."
House: "How you doing? Good?"
Wilson: "Fine, thanks."
Cuddy: "Ehh-ehh-ehh-ehh! Sit!
See? The two of you are friends. Look how you both..."
House: "... think you're an idiot. We both also eat with forks. That doesn't really prove..."
Cuddy: "Talk to him! Tell him how you feel of what he's doing."
House: "I told him he's an idiot."
Cuddy: "Tell him what you think about him leaving."
House: "I think he's an idiot."
Cuddy: "You're an idiot. He's in pain, and your response is just to emotionally blackmail him!"
House: "You told me what your position is on that one. You're against it, right?"
Wilson: "She hasn't told you in front of me. She needs to prove she's on my side."
Cuddy: "Go to hell!"
House: "So much for that theory."

House: "He wanted time alone. I considered being a horrendous pain in the ass, but I didn't want to step on your turf."

House: "Either she cracked under the whip, or she realized her evolutionary purpose is to arouse men, not castrate them."

House: "My patient's still fighting in the feminist trenches, but the war is over. Yesterday's sluts are today's empowered women, today's sluts are celebrities -- if that isn't progress."

House: "You can't hide from misery."

House: "I respect things that earn respect. This decision, on the other hand, is a dog wearing a cape."

House: "Familiar with the concept of sarcasm? Don't sweat it, it's new."

House: "She dumped me after I lost those last eighty-five pounds. Said there was less of me to love."

House: "Your conscience bleeds more freely than my head."

House: "I like you better now that you're dying."
