- Dr. Eric Foreman: I want to run the department.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: You consider waiting until House clears the lobby before you start angling for his job?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: He's not dead, or sentimental. And somebody needs to do it.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: Not necessarily, Departments of Diagnostic Medicine don't exist. The only reason we have one is because... of House.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: Look at that. No House, the job still gets down.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: And yet, something's missing.
- Dr. Chris Taub: I'm short. He's black. You're gay-ish.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: That's it.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: [Foreman picks up House's red ball] You know how House feels about people touching his ball.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: No. Chase refuses to tell me.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: Right. My husband's gay. Witty.
- Dr. Gregory House: We flirted. We kissed. I fondled. I hallucinated a night with you and yelled it from a hospital balcony. You're not a narcissist.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: So what am I?
- Dr. Gregory House: Not the reason I'm leaving.
- Dr. Lisa Cuddy: ...House... I'm going to miss you.
- Cecile: Lady, either kiss him or leave. We've got work to do.
- [Cuddy leaves]
- Dr. Gregory House: You couldn't just keep your trap shut.
- Cecile: Make the damn goochi.
- Dr. Gregory House: By the way tell the other lepers their absence has been noted.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Cameron didn't come by?
- Dr. Gregory House: Daddy's little co-dependent is all grown-up. Making room for daddy's hot bi-sexual's boyfriend problems.
- Dr. Gregory House: The hospital is part of my old life. If I go back, I might... become who I was before, pills and all.
- Dr. Darryl Nolan: That's a possibility. But could be... the only thing worse for you than going back to Diagnostic Medicine is not going back.
- Dr. Gregory House: ...Guess we're going to find out.
- Dr. Gregory House: I quit.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: [pause] You can't quit.
- Dr. Gregory House: I think you're confusing me with Jake Gyllenhaal.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: House was an egotistical pill popping lawsuit magnet... and a genius. And I worked with him longer than anybody else. I can do this.
- Dr. Gregory House: Bed is for sissies. Unless you're having sex, in which case... no, bed is still for sissies.
- Dr. James Wilson: We know you're back on Vicodin.
- Dr. Gregory House: No, the only thing you know is that I'm a genius who got a dog to pee in your toilet. You don't know how I did it, or more interestingly where I peed.
- Dr. Allison Cameron: You saw House, how was he?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: He was... good. He was honest, took responsibility. It was kind of weird.
- Vince: So you must be the genius's replacement.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: I prefer to think of myself as genius 2.0.
- Dr. Chris Taub: [after announcing his resignation] It's nothing personal. Actually, I think you're doing pretty well. But I came here to work with House.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: You're breaking up with me?
- Dr. Eric Foreman: No! The other night when I thought I was done, you were there. I *need* you. I don't want to lose you.
- Thirteen - Dr. Hadley: Uh, why are you...?... You're firing me.
- Dr. Eric Foreman: I'm sorry.
