Quotes
-
Jane : [to Taub] Your boss is weird.
Dr. Chris Taub : Yeah, he is. He thought he'd get information you may not have been telling us by...
Maggie : Being a jerk?
Dr. Chris Taub : You'd be surprised how often it works.
-
Jane : [to House] I have to lie because she trusts me?
Dr. Gregory House : If you show doubt, the placebo treatment won't work.
Jane : If it's just depression, that's good news, right?
Dr. Gregory House : [nods his head] A lot of great medications.
Jane : So why can't we just give her those? Why do we have to lie to her?
Dr. Gregory House : Because we might be wrong. And those medications take a long time to work and since your mom's condition is declining, there's a chance the drugs won't tell us anything until it's too late.
Jane : My mom's not depressed.
Dr. Gregory House : Maybe she's hiding it from you.
Jane : [shakes her head] No. She wouldn't...
Dr. Gregory House : Just doing what every good mom does. Protecting her child from bad news that she can't do anything about.
Jane : My mom's never lied to me.
Dr. Gregory House : You don't know how to lie. You don't know how to tell when you're being lied to.
Jane : Maybe you're right...
Dr. Gregory House : I know...
Jane : I was lying. I know how to lie. I just won't do it to my mother.
-
Dr. Gregory House : [to Jane] You mom tell you about all the drugs she does?
Jane : She smokes pot once in a while, but not in a long time.
Dr. Gregory House : What about you?
Jane : How would that make her sick?
Dr. Gregory House : Are you a doctor?
Jane : I'm eleven...
Dr. Gregory House : That's not an answer. It's an evasion. Are you drinking? You ever sneak a drink?
Jane : I don't do any of that stuff. It's bad for you.
Dr. Gregory House : I understand why you don't want your mom to know, but I'm her doctor, so...
Jane : And I would tell my mom, and I would tell you.
Dr. Gregory House : Why?
Jane : Because she would never lie to me.
Dr. Gregory House : What's her favorite way to have sex?
Jane : I don't get what sex has to do with breast cancer.
Dr. Gregory House : Are you a doctor? Did you go to med school since the last time I asked?
-
Jane : [to House] You just think we gotta be lying...
Dr. Gregory House : [cuts Jane off] White lies?
Jane : What are those?
Dr. Gregory House : Those are lies we tell to make other people feel better.
Jane : I don't lie.
Dr. Gregory House : Rationalizations?
Jane : What are those?
Dr. Gregory House : Those are lies we tell to make ourselves feel better.
Jane : No, we don't...
Dr. Gregory House : [cuts Jane off again] Lies of omission? Saddle bronc or doggie? That's sex talk.
Jane : She used to like being on top, but now she likes to be on her stomach. That way she doesn't have to see them looking at her scars.
