Following on from my look at influences, here is a House special.
“The great thing about telling somebody they’re dying is it tends to focus their priorities. You find out what matters to them. What they’re willing to die for. What they’re willing to lie for.”
Cuddy: “Dr. House! Need you here.”
House: “No thanks. Lots of sick people. I might catch something.”
“What else turns you on? Drugs? Casual sex? Rough sex? Casual, rough sex? I’m a doctor, I need to know.”
“Dying people lie too. Wish they’d worked less, been nicer, opened orphanages for kittens. If you really want to do something, you do it. You don’t save it for a sound bite.”
Chase: “How would you feel if I interfered in your personal life?”
House: “I’d hate it. That’s why I cleverly have no personal life.”

Some great lines here! It’s one of my favorite shows, hope they end the writer’s strike soon.

House M.D. is one of my favorite shows. I just love the character and his behavior, plus his lines are bright, and very acidic! Brilliant!

I agree Helen. Even when the show has it’s rocky moments (more and more often as the show ages unfortunately), the actual character of House is so engaging to watch.
