Michael Michele credited as playing...
Dr. Samira Terzi
- Dr. Gregory House: FYI, my malpractice insurance doesn't cover alien autopsies.
- Samira Terzi: That's fine. X-files are the next wing over.
- Dr. Gregory House: You idiot.
- Dr. Samira Terzi: Who are you calling an idiot?
- Dr. Gregory House: Whoever knew that John was stationed in Brazil, not Bolivia.
- Dr. Samira Terzi: Brazil?
- Dr. Gregory House: [House turns and faces Agent Smith] Well, then, I guess I'm talking to you, idiot.
- CIA Agent Smith: It's the same region. It's the same parasites, same diseases...
- Dr. Gregory House: But not the same language. In Bolivia, chestnuts are chestnuts. Brazil, on the other hand, has castanhas-do-Pará. Literally, "chestnuts from Pará." Because it would be stupid for people from Brazil to call them Brazil nuts!
- CIA Agent Smith: So he ate Brazil nuts. Big deal.
- Dr. Gregory House: No, he ate a lot of Brazil nuts which is a big deal, because they contain selenium - which in high doses causes fatigue, vomiting, skin irritation, discharge from the fingernail beds and hair loss. Any of that sounding familiar?
- CIA Agent Smith: Can you treat it?
- Dr. Gregory House: We've already started. Treatment's chelation, same as for radiation sickness. The only difference is it works a lot better on nut poisoning.
- CIA Agent Smith: So what's the problem?
- Dr. Samira Terzi: [to Agent Smith] You're an idiot.
- Dr. Gregory House: [to Dr. Terzi] Wanna ditch Dr. Killjoy and hop on the company jet? A little trip down Mexico way? I'm not talking about the country or the plane.
- Dr. Samira Terzi: You think acting like an idiot and talking about sex works on girls?
- Dr. Gregory House: Well if it didn't, the human race would have died out long ago.
- Dr. Gregory House: You know, I happen to have a position available on my penis. Wait a second, I think I screwed up that joke.
- Samira Terzi: You're offering me a job?
- Dr. Gregory House: I'd settle for that.
- Samira Terzi: [to House] This is Dr. Sidney Curtis from the Mayo Clinic. He's also agreed to help with the diagnosis.
- Dr. Curtis: Dr. House.
- Dr. Gregory House: "Curtis on Immunology" Sidney Curtis?
- Dr. Curtis: Oh, you've read it?
- Dr. Gregory House: Nope, but it is keeping my piano level.
- Dr. Curtis: [to Dr. Terzi] Where was the patient when he first felt ill?
- Dr. Samira Terzi: Sorry, that's classified, but assume there aren't too many places in the world John hasn't been. And, yes, John's a cover name.
- Dr. Curtis: And what makes you think it was an attempt on his life?
- Dr. Samira Terzi: Sorry, can't tell you that either.
- Dr. Curtis: Well, what can you tell us?
- Dr. Gregory House: Yeah. Did Oswald really have sex with Marilyn Monroe?
