House M.D. (TV Series)

Dying Changes Everything (2008)

Christine Woods: Lou

Quotes 

• Lou : I would rather spend my life close to the birds than waste it wishing I had wings.

• Lou : Hey, who are you?

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

• Lou : My boss has a big Beijing trip. I've been planning it for months. I was just tired and dehydrated and...

  Thirteen : Yeah, whenever I lose some shut-eye, I pound my legs, clawing at imaginary ant colonies.

• Lou : I'm pregnant?

  Dr. Lawrence Kutner : You want to call the father and let him know?

  Lou : Soon as you do some DNA testing, let me know.

• Thirteen : [to Lou]  I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry at you. Your choices are your choices.

  Lou : You're not like me. Maybe you have wings.

  Thirteen : I have Huntington's Chorea. Dozen years or so, my nervous system, my cognitive skills, even my emotional balance... they'll all start to fray. I won't be able to fly. I won't be able to walk. I won't be able to breathe.

  Lou : And you want to make sure your life matters.

  Thirteen : [nods]  I don't want to just... be tightening bolts and following instructions. I want something... to be different because of me.
