Jesse Spencer: Dr. Robert Chase

Quotes 

• Martha Masters : We treat with chemotherapy or steroids.

  Dr. Gregory House : We treat with chemotherapy.

  Martha Masters : I said chemo.

  Dr. Gregory House : And then you said "or."

  Dr. Robert Chase : Once again, the bunny meets the blade.

  Dr. Gregory House : The road to dead patients is paved with "or's." Chemo is the more effective treatment, which means it will confirm our diagnosis more quickly...

  Martha Masters : I agree, but there is another option.

  Dr. Gregory House : There are lots of other options. There's bloodletting, crystals, prayer...

  Martha Masters : Another medically accepted option.

  Dr. Gregory House : Which is both less effective and less scary. So the patient might just choose it. Unless, of course, we don't mention it to him.

  Martha Masters : We can't withhold information. If we explain both the benefits and the risks of each treatment, I'm sure Dugan will choose chemo.

  Dr. Gregory House : Well, as long as you're sure.

  Martha Masters : [to Dugan]  The better option is chemotherapy. It's faster and more likely to completely cure you.

  Joe Dugan : I'll take the steroids.

  Dr. Gregory House : Oh, my goodness. If only someone could have predicted that you'd make that incredibly stupid decision.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : You're arguing Dugan's politics are a sign that he's mentally compromised?

  Dr. Robert Chase : No. His tactics. He's most likely the one who leaked it. And all the commentators are saying Anderson will catch a major backlash.

• Dr. Eric Foreman : So you're holding a grudge, because she chose a different school?

  Dr. Chris Taub : We talked for an hour. She didn't remember me. She remembers the 20th digit of some math constant, but she doesn't remember a guy she had a one-on-one meeting with.

  Dr. Robert Chase : Well, I barely remember you.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Mystery solved. Now we can all go back to our lives.

• Dr. Chris Taub : Is that guy seriously using the toilet? Oh, my God, he's sitting down.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : Don't try to change the subject. Did you sleep with her?

  Dr. Chris Taub : No wonder he's in jail. Anyone who would do that has no shame.

  Dr. Robert Chase : Or maybe he tried to sleep with her, and she shot him down.

  Dr. Chris Taub : I don't know her. Is he grunting? I think I hear grunting.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : You realize we're not gonna drop this.

  Dr. Chris Taub : I didn't sleep with her. I interviewed her for Hopkins Med School.

  Dr. Eric Foreman : So you're holding a grudge because she chose a different school?

  Dr. Chris Taub : We talked for an hour. She didn't remember me. She remembers the 20th digit of some math constant, but she doesn't remember a guy she had a one-on-one meeting with.

  Dr. Robert Chase : I barely remember you.

  Dr. Chris Taub : Mystery solved. Now we can all go back to our lives.
